FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K including our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

 

Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include the Company’s limited operating history; its limited financial resources; the success of our fundraising efforts; our ability to meet our obligations, continue as a going concern or realize on our assets, if necessary to meet liabilities; international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to achieve, sustain, manage or forecast growth; our failure to correctly anticipate market trends; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; risks related to new product development and introduction including our Universal Mobile Interface (UMI); competition including the activities of competitors and the presence of new or additional competition; the failure to gain and/or loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology and obtain and/or maintain key licensing arrangements, including the CAPSA license, joint ventures and partnerships; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

The following business and financial discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this filing.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

 

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

 

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” and the “Company”), formerly known as Implex Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2005. We are a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada, with three subsidiaries, Bad Rabbit Inc. ThreeFiftyNine Inc. and Consorteum Inc. On April 9, 2009, we changed our name to Consorteum Holdings, Inc. Due to our change in business; we determined that the Company had an inception date for financial reporting purposes of July 1, 2011. Our corporate headquarters are located at 6-14845 Yonge Street, Suite #348, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, L4G 6H8. Our telephone number is (888) 603 5161.

 

In July 2013 the Company made a decision to recast its business as a provider of digital content across mobile devices. In conjunction therewith, the Company formed two new Nevada subsidiaries: Bad Rabbit Inc. and ThreeFiftyNine Inc. (359) and hired a senior level software development team. Moving forward, ThreeFiftyNine aims primarily at securely delivering rich mobile content across mobile devices as well as delivering diverse payment and other transactional platforms that are rapidly converging due to advances in smart phone mobile technology. ThreeFiftyNine intends to be a highly differentiated business in the digital space, focusing on cloud infrastructure design, development and deployment, as well as in digital transaction management.

 

Holdings has spent the last three years developing relationships and licensing agreements that will enable us to participate in the emerging market of mobile gaming. We intend to build our company with the capabilities to deliver rich mobile content to end users who will use their smart phones in radical new ways. In July 2013, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, ThreeFiftyNine Inc. and hired a software development team that had previously designed the worlds first regulatory compliant mobile platform for delivery of gaming content originally known as CAPSA, which met the rigorous standards of the Nevada Gaming Board. CAPSA represents the first generation software delivery platform for mobile devices.

 

The development team that we hired had spent the past five years and millions of dollars in non-recurring engineering costs to complete the development of the platform. At the heart is the capability to deliver any digital content across any cellular network to any mobile device or smart phone. This key differentiator makes it possible for us to approach many different markets that are in the business of providing mobile connectivity and mobile content.

 

On October 4, 2011, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Tarsin LTD, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, whereby we agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Tarsin, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tarsin”), for a total of 100,000,000 shares of our common stock.  Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Tarsin LTD further agreed to grant to us an exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide perpetual license to use, distribute, and sell its CAPSA Mobile Platform technology (“CAPSA”).

 

The Company was unable to secure the necessary funding to complete the acquisition of Tarsin. Although we raised capital of $162,500, which was used to fund the working capital needs of Tarsin during 2012, ultimately we were not able to fulfill all of the requirements as prescribed in the Tarsin Acquisition Agreement dated October 4, 2011.

 

In October 2012, we secured a license to market and license the CAPSA technology from Tarsin Inc. (“Tarsin”). The licensing agreement provided the Company with an exclusive right to license the CAPSA software platform in selected geographical markets throughout Canada and Mexico, along with select customers within the United States, and is capable of providing digital media to a wide range of mobile handsets, and provides for the ability to securely transmit financial information to individual handset owners. The Tarsin license provided us with capabilities in the mobile handset market which we could use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets. Tarsin Inc. filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. The Company was a creditor in this Case No. 13-53607. In resolving the bankruptcy case, NYG Holdings LLC (“NYG”) acquired the original intellectual property from Tarsin Inc., which included the first generation CAPSA platform. On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license, which is expected to be entered into in October 2014, will grant latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface (“UMI”). We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals. The multi-year license agreement is for five years and is thereafter renewable annually. The Company is responsible to pay royalties fees of 10% of net revenues plus $100,000 annually. However, the first 18 months of the agreement will be royalty free and the first three years of annual payments waived.

 

The UMI, which our team is developing, will be a second generation platform and will represent a key advantage for our Company as we enter into the mobile gaming market as the UMI allows content providers the ability to develop content once, while the UMI platform identifies the mobile device and delivers the proper display format for that mobile device. Without a universal platform, content providers must reprogram their mobile application each time they update or add to their content; or the mobile device operating system is updated. We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals.

On June 6, 2011, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, as amended, with Media Exchange Group, Inc. (“MEXI”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to buy, transfer and assign to the Company, and MEXI has agreed to sell all of the rights, title and interests to, and agreements relating to, its digital trading card business and platform, as well as all other intangible assets of the business in exchange for the Company assuming an aggregate principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $2.1 million of indebtedness of MEXI in accordance with the terms of that certain assignment and assumption agreement executed on June 6, 2011.  On July 14, 2011, the Company completed its due diligence and finalized the asset purchase agreement with MEXI. A majority shareholder of MEXI and the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Director and Chairman of the Board of MEXI (who resigned on June 3, 2011) organized the asset purchase agreement with MEXI. The transaction between MEXI and the Company was deemed consummated between two entities under common control and the transfer of assets was recorded at historical cost. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed convertible notes amounting to $2,073,646 of MEXI (principal and accrued interest as of July 2011), and accordingly, recorded a corresponding charge in the deficit accumulated during the development stage in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

In July 2012, we entered into negotiations with Knockout Gaming Limited (“Knockout”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Isle of Man, to resell their online gaming licensed platform, Fireplay. We may enter into a licensing and reselling agreement once Knockout launches their platform. Since July 2012, we paid $180,432 to Knockout as an interim payment against a future equity position in Knockout. If the Company obtains funding, we may purchase up to a 10% equity position in Knockout pending further due diligence to determine whether or not the parties will move forward with the proposed transaction.

 

In September 2012, we entered into employment agreements with Mr. Craig Fielding, our CEO and CFO and Mr. Pat Shuster, our Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Secretary, which provide cash compensation, signing bonuses in Preferred Stock, stock options and bonuses upon achieving revenue milestones through December 31, 2016. See Item 11 below. We believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to retain these individuals.

 

On September 21, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved the creation of a Series C Preferred Stock. In connection therewith, we filed a certificate of designations with the Nevada Secretary of State to create and reserve for future issuance 40,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The shares are voting, will pay no dividend, are each convertible into four (4) shares of common stock, and have a liquidation preference junior to the Series A and B Preferred Stock. No Series C shares have been issued to date.

 

In March 2013, we entered into negotiations with Knockout Entertainment, a Nevada corporation (“KOE”), for a future equity position in KOE. Post funding of the Company, as discussed in Items 1 and 7, we intend to purchase up to a 5% equity position in KOE pending further due diligence to determine whether or not the parties will move forward with the proposed transaction. The Company has elected to expense the funds advanced to date.

 

On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into a binding term sheet commitment (the “Term Sheet”) for a $30,000,000 funding agreement with AIC Group Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“AIC” or “Funder”). Other than the Term Sheet, there is no other relationship between the Company and its affiliates and AIC.

 

The Term Sheet provided that AIC agreed to lend $30,000,000 to the Company in six (6) consecutive monthly installments (the “Loan”) with the first portion of the funding to begin no later than 60 days from the date of the Term Sheet. The installments will vary in size depending upon the working capital requirements of the Company at the time each installment is due. AIC may extend only the first installment one time for a period of up to 45 days. The Loan will bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning one year from the funding of the first portion of the Loan. The Loan and all remaining accrued and unpaid interest is due and repayable seven (7) years after the first funding installment; provided, however, that the Company may extend the repayment date for two successive one year periods by giving 90 day prior notice to AIC and paying an extension fee of 2% of the principal amount of the Loan to be renewed. If AIC defaults in advancing any installment of the Loan, then the Loan agreement shall terminate forthwith and the Company shall have no repayment obligation to AIC. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Company will grant AIC a first priority security interest in and to all of its assets including its Intellectual Property (“IP”) as collateral security for the Loan. If the Company defaults in making any repayment of interest or principal or under any other material terms and conditions of the Loan, AIC shall have the rights of a secured party under the security agreement to foreclose on the Company collateral to satisfy the Loan. The Company will pay a total of four percent (4%) of the Loan in origination fees to two consultants as each portion of the Loan is funded, and a one- time administrative fee of $150,000 that will be refunded if the funding of the Loan does not occur as scheduled. The Loan has yet to close, as discussed below.

AIC had also agreed to use its best efforts to provide directly or through an affiliate a bridge loan for $2,000,000 (the “Bridge Loan”) within sixty (60) days of the execution of the Term Sheet. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and shall be repayable from the first proceeds under the Loan. If the Loan does not proceed, then the Bridge Loan (amended to $4,000,000 on May 22, 2013), if made, will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be repaid in one year from its date and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. The Bridge Loan did not close during the 60-day period, as discussed below.

 

As part of the Loan, the Company agreed to issue to AIC an amount of its shares of common stock as shall equal thirty–five percent (35%) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis (the “AIC Shares”); provided, however, that the issuance of the AIC Shares shall not occur until one year from the date of the first funding of the Loan by AIC to the Company. In the event that the Loan or any portion thereof is not funded as scheduled, the Company shall issue only that portion of the AIC Shares to AIC that is calculated as the percentage of the amount of the Loan actually funded by AIC to the total Loan amount. All of the AIC Shares shall be restricted shares and AIC shall enter into a covenant neither to engage in any short selling nor to sell more than certain specified numbers of its shares during each quarterly period.

 

There are other conditions to the Loan as follows: (1) AIC shall be given the right to designate up to two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors such appointments to be made in time with the funding of the Loan. (2) AIC and the Company shall enter into a Business Services Development Agreement under which AIC will assist and advise the Company in connection with development of its business under its business plan in effect from time to time. (3) The parties will negotiate and execute certain agreements to reflect all of these transactions including a loan agreement, a secured promissory note, a share issuance and shareholders agreement, a convertible bridge note, a business services development agreement, and such other documents as the parties may mutually agree.

 

The AIC Funding was expected to close on or before May 31, 2013. The closing delay was attributable to AIC working through a complex process with several international banks, part of AIC’s transaction, and the necessity of working through all the due diligence items prior to closing. As a result of the delays, the Company has negotiated an Amendment No. 1 to the Term Sheet dated May 22, 2013 to increase the Bridge Loan from $2 million to $4 million with the remaining funds of $30 million to be paid out over the next six months. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. Ultimately AIC was unable to close this amended round of funding and the Company was advised that AIC experienced delays with its original funding partner but subsequently secured an alternative funding partner. AIC has represented to the Company that the funds are now under AIC’s control and AIC is working with its bridge funding partners to provide the bridge financing in the near future. Due to the extreme delays experienced, the Company has informed AIC that should funding not occur as committed to, the Company will pursue all legal remedies available to recover its $150,000 funding deposit as well as damages relating to breach of contract and lost business opportunities. Furthermore, the Company has expensed the financing fees.

For the year ended June 30, 2014, we have secured net working capital of approximately $645,000 from existing convertible note holders as well as approximately $1,491,000 from an officer of the Company.

 

The Company has faced and may continue to face significant uncertainty relating to liquidity and intends to continue to search for additional sources of working capital, and to actively search for collaborative partners. Many of the existing contracts and initiatives described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K require capital expenditures by Holdings to move forward and management anticipates that delays in project implementation will continue if funds are not available to it.

 

The business description below describes our business in greater detail.

OUR BUSINESS

 

Holdings started out as a transaction management company focused on transaction processing solutions and products for the payment processing and financial transaction markets through a mix of on-deck partnerships, license agreements, and joint venture revenue share arrangements. Holdings has spent the last three years developing relationships and licensing agreements that will enable us to participate in the emerging market of mobile gaming. Through a license arrangement and our development team, we have the capability to deliver rich mobile content to end users who will use their smart phones in radical new ways. Our Universal Mobile Interface solution has the capacity to open up opportunities in multiple business verticals. As a result, Consorteum now specializes in delivery of mobile content, mobile payment solutions and products through a mix of on-deck partnerships, license agreements, and joint venture revenue share arrangements. It operates as a technology and services aggregator to meet the diverse needs of its client base by leveraging a wide range of products and services to develop end-to-end, turn-key card and payment transaction processing solutions.  The Company also has extensive expertise within the Payments and Transaction Industry in North America and internationally.

 

In 2011, the Company established a working relationship with Tarsin Inc. (a Nevada Corp), dedicated to the delivery of digital media across all mobile devices. The Company realized that a license agreement with Tarsin Inc. would allow us to develop a new generation of digital solutions utilizing secure transactional services that could be tailored specifically to defined geographic locations. At its essence, our ability to operate a platform that allows the delivery of digital content to any mobile device will allow us to develop solutions for many market verticals including medical, banking, and gaming, e-commerce, and government applications.

 

As mentioned earlier, the licensing agreement that we have reached and should be entering into in the near future with NYG will provide the Company with the right to license the CAPSA software platform, make further enhancements to the platform and market and rebrand it. ThreeFiftyNine’s Universal Mobile Interface platform is capable of providing digital media to a wide range of mobile handsets, and provides for the ability to securely transmit financial information to individual handset owners. The UMI provides us with proven capabilities in the mobile handset market, which we can use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets. At the heart is the capability to deliver any digital content across any cellular network to any mobile device. This key differentiator makes it possible for us to approach many different markets that are in the business of providing mobile connectivity and mobile content. With the development team in place, we will now begin to add additional businesses that complement our capabilities. Our new software solution will be a second generation platform and will represent a key advantage for our company as we enter into the mobile gaming market.

 

The Company understands the complexities of delivering digital media content across mobile devices. Multiple different operating systems, user interfaces, and form factors have created enormous barriers to launching commercial initiatives. Our mobile solution combines a hybrid mobile application with a thin client server platform, allowing us to deliver thin client applications that are handset agnostic. 359’s UMI supports over 1500 different handset/tablets that allow us a unique capability to deliver optimum display content and device functionality to any mobile device. Naturally, our UMI contains multiple security functions including geo-fence and geo-location technologies.

 

Combined with our experience in the payment processing and financial transaction markets, we believe that recent advances in technology have enabled smart phones to develop custom applications that will allow the phone to process payments, conduct banking transactions and emulate the traditional role that ATM machines now play.  We intend to leverage our expertise in mobile applications development to target new opportunities to provide traditional banking and payment services to our customers.

 

Universal Mobile Interface- the Solution for Going Mobile

 

Today’s current mobile application and content solutions are limited - whether it be in how users can interact, or the number of devices it can actually support. As companies look to mobile strategies, the picture gets extremely cloudy in how to develop a rich mobile offering that can resonate within the mass market Our UMI is able to take the “how” out of mobile planning, encompassing all the components that allow for a rich mobile experience to be delivered to a handset.  In order to initiate and maintain connections with mobile consumers, it is absolutely critical for a platform to be interoperable between any mobile network and device. This full-service approach redefines how brands develop mobile strategies to strengthen their connections to consumers. 359 works with operators and multi-tier networks to successfully execute programs on behalf of brands. 359’s UMI platform provides an end-to-end, versatile framework for brands to design once and deliver unparalleled mobile experiences regardless of device or operating system upgrades. UMI is a comprehensive universal mobile content delivery solution that is based on web-standards and is carrier, operating systems and device agnostic. This allows companies to reach the broadest consumer base: 5200+ devices; 27+ languages; 180+ countries; non-native font support. Today, the UMI supports millions of mobile consumers, with thousands added daily.

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

People are spending more time on their mobile phones than ever before. This new marketing world consists of terms like smart phones, SEO, mobile sites, geolocation, and social marketing. It therefore becomes imperative for companies to understand these new types of consumers and how best to reach them. Technologies such as Geolocation and mobile tagging can help companies and brands better understand the mobile consumer and deliver more targeted, relevant messaging.

 

In 2011, smart phone sales surpassed computer sales for the first time. By 2012 desktop and portable computer sales contracted for the first time ever, and smart phone penetration in the US passed 50%. While for manufacturers this represents a notable change in the state of the market, such developments only reinforce our analysis that digital publishing is moving past the tipping point as a leading mechanism for consumer transactions.

 

While overall retail sales are low, they are proven and represent high growth, with e-Marketer’s report of June 2013 predicting UK mobile sales (m-commerce) of £6.7 billion in 2013 growing to £17 billion in 2017. We believe this trend will continue in other worldwide markets over the coming years.

 

In the U.S. in 2012, there were 105 million mobile Internet subscribers (mobile phones, tablets, etc.). According to eMarketer, that number was poised to grow 24 percent in 2013. According to industry analysts, mobile internet usage should over take desktop internet usage by the end of 2014. By 2016, U.S. mobile Internet subscribers are predicted to top 174 million people. Forbes reports that by 2017, 87 percent of all connected devices will be smart phones and tablets.

 

The global market has even more room for growth. Morgan Stanley estimates that while there were 1.1 billion global smart phone subscribers in 2012, the average growth rate for the top fifteen countries worldwide was an incredible 42 percent. This growth rate likely won’t slow soon—market penetration in these same fifteen countries is still only 17 percent of possible mobile subscribers.

 

Worldwide mobile phone users number over 5.5 billion, which provides a huge potential market just for those transitioning from regular mobile phones to smart phones. As reported in The Guardian, Smartphone sales passed 1 billion units in 2013 in China, one of our targeted markets.

 

Industry analysts such as smartinsights.com confirm ever increasing usage of smart phones by people worldwide:

·One half of all local searches are performed on mobile devices
·Mobile tags provide more product information like comparison shopping offers than traditional barcodes
·86% of mobile internet users are using their devices while watching TV
·29% of mobile users are open to scanning a mobile tag to get a coupon
·On average, Americans spend 2.7 hours per day socializing on their mobile device. That’s over twice the amount of time they spend eating, and over 1/3 of the time they spend sleeping each day.
·The top 5 items people use their mobile device for are:

1.Games 61%
2.Weather 55%
3.Search 50%
4.Social Network 49%
5.Music 42%

 

Utilizing the capability of the ThreeFiftyNine development team, we will be able to develop applications, which encompass all the components that allow for a rich mobile experience to be delivered to a handset. In order to initiate and maintain connections with mobile consumers, we believe it is absolutely critical for our platform to be interoperable between any mobile network and device. This full-service approach redefines how brands develop mobile strategies to strengthen their connections to consumers. While video and picture sharing on the Internet have been around for some time now, the task can be cumbersome and frustrating on most mobile devices. Multiple carriers and phone types with limited or no interoperability can make this potentially powerful communications tool languish in the background while texting and social networking Internet sites continue to grow and thrive. Compounding this problem is the continuing trend for mobile phone equipment manufacturers to offer new phones with additional capabilities while the mobile phone carriers are enhancing their 3G and 4G networks to allow users to take advantage of these capabilities.

Existing Solutions and Limitations

 

Multimedia Messaging Service

 

One possible solution is the use of Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) to send pictures and videos. MMS is a standard developed by the Open Mobile Alliance, an industry consortium. MMS can be an effective way to send pictures from one person to another, but as the mobile experience moves from photo to videos and more importantly from point to point communication to social networks, MMS may begin to encounter substantial scalability issues. MMS approaches the sending of rich media with a lowest common denominator to provide a video experience that will be common across handsets rather than providing the best possible experience a handset can provide. More specifically, MMS does not work consistently for video.

 

Other limitations of MMS include:

 

  a. File size limitation. MMS videos are generally limited in duration by file size. Limits include 10, 15, or 30 second duration for video, and file size is often limited to 100, 200, or 300 Kbytes. These limits can be imposed both by carriers and by handset makers.

 

  b. MMS video is not stored in “The Cloud.” A MMS file is generally not accessed easily from a PC. If the mobile phone user switches to another handset, that user must often first manually transfer the MMS picture or video to a PC and then transfer it back to the new handset, a cumbersome process.

 

  c. Conversation limitations. MMS does not allow a fluid interface for back and forth “video conversations.” You cannot easily comment on someone’s MMS video.

 

  d. Difficulty interfacing with social networks. While it is possible to post an MMS picture or video to a Facebook or Twitter account, it does not lend itself to a feature- rich mobile experience.

 

  e. Standard setting delays. As new technologies to enhance MMS are developed, their adoption will be governed by the MMS standards setting process. This is likely to result in significant delays in enhancement, implementation, and evolution of the technology.

 

  f. Video on Mobile Phones. Most major manufacturers of mobile phones already have, or plan to, deliver handsets with video capabilities into the market, often with multiple tiers of devices with unique profiles. Dozens of companies have developed and continue to maintain databases that capture the differences between handsets, at significant expense.

 

Smart phones:

 

Smart phones have emerged as a fast growing sector of the market, blending multi-media, data and internet access and mobile communications. The smart phone market, most of which by definition is media enabled, will be a growth market that will allow carriers to add a variety of revenue streams attached to data and multi-media messaging. The market demand for video sharing services will grow dramatically.  Mobile phone equipment manufacturers continue to offer new phones with additional capabilities while the mobile phone carriers will need to enhance their 3G and 4G networks to allow users to take advantage of these capabilities.

 

Video and Picture Sharing Approaches

 

The current market is highly fragmented, with many companies and organizations offering service for the mobile phone video and picture market.

 

Generally, these services fall under five categories:

 

  1. MMS, which was described earlier.
  2. Mobile-to-Web, where mobile phone users post their pictures or videos on a Website to share with others. This category has a number of participants, and there is little product differentiation between and among them.
  3. Web-to-Mobile, when pictures or videos are posted on Websites and then shared to phones using an open or proprietary application. This category may require a relationship with a carrier and also has a number of participants.
  4. Proprietary Mobile-to-Mobile, where the user utilizes a proprietary application to send pictures or video from one phone to another. A carrier relationship may be required for this service.
  5. Open Mobile-to-Mobile, where no proprietary application is required, nor is a carrier relationship.

 

While the entire market is nascent, leaders will emerge based on their brand recognition, number, or users in their network, ease of use and financial resources. Additionally, many of these services are free while others charge a use or monthly fee. Others appear to be focused on an advertising based model. At this time, the size of the market is indeterminable but is generally thought to be growing and viable. The size and ultimate viability of the market will be based on the ease of use, cost to use, adoption rate of smart phones and the acceptance of brands where mobile content delivery is a viable advertising medium.

COMPETITION

 

Historically the applications market began with Native Applications developed for specific phone models and operating systems. Because the Apple iPhone initially dominated the Smartphone market most applications were developed first for the current iPhone and then rewritten for the Android. Then as new Smartphone models were released or operating systems upgraded, the Native Applications had to be rewritten and customers were required to download new applications.

 

As mobile networks increased in speed and capability, Mobile Web Applications became popular for non-secure applications. Web Applications lack in security and can’t match the user experience of Native Applications but they offer a less expensive alternative and do not require the constant support of Native Applications. To address the need for secure applications that offer a robust user experience, Hybrid Applications address the market needs. A Hybrid application optimizes the unique functionality and display of mobile devices while utilizing the computing power of a host processor, usually in the cloud.

 

Cloud and SaaS models have broken through the trust barrier, giving hosted solutions full security approval in B2B markets. We believe the reduction upon reliance of installed and maintained hardware, with the associated freedom to drive scale across multi-national footprints, will drive even greater adoption of cloud-based infrastructure. The Universal Mobile Interface solution incorporates a mobile platform delivering data from a cloud computing backend to deliver content and proper display to any mobile device.

 

Our NYG license will allow cross operating system development but is unique in addressing the needs of the gaming industry, which is complex and highly regulated. Our offering addresses key issues such as security, user authentication, geo-location and geo-fencing. Addressing all the market needs allows rapid development and low cost of ownership and mass market mobile device coverage. Other companies such as Cantor Wireless Gaming, Harrah’s, IGT and Bally Tech as well as William Hill, NV Sports Book and Boyd Gaming have put forward public strategies and initial offerings within the gaming market but we do not believe these companies have the history and pedigree in the needed technology to deliver a robust full featured mobile solution. There are a few development companies entering the market who claim to have a mobile platform to compete with our UMI, however, their product descriptions included caveats like “most popular models” and “current operating systems” where our UMI can support all mobile devices.

 

Current solutions typically fall into one of two categories: native applications or web technology. Native applications, while seemingly inexpensive to start require OS updates as new versions and devices emerge. As traffic increases these applications also suffer from an inability to properly scale. Web users experience browsers that are chaotic, painfully slow, and offer a poor passive user interface experience. Web based applications suffer limitations in device functionality like messaging, cameras, tilt, and geolocation. Our technology platform positions itself uniquely between the facets of web and native applications providing high levels of satisfaction for:

 

  · User experience
  · Content management
  · Messaging and marketing capabilities
  · Security and compliance
  · Speed of market reach
  · Powerful multi-regional capability
  · Low cost of ownership

 

Because our technology solution is designed to work with all mobile handset devices, we believe the fragmentation we see developing in the operating systems of the major suppliers will work to our advantage. There is a clear need to deliver new and innovative solutions that are agnostic to the mobile handset manufacturer. Ultimately ThreeFiftyNine is positioning itself to lead the industry in this capability.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we anticipate competition in our markets and for our products and services to be stiff. Many of our competitors may have substantially greater resources than we do. There can be no assurance that we will compete successfully.

OUR SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY
 

Digital Gaming Strategy

 

Publishing content and managing transactions in a highly regulated environment such as gaming also passed a key tipping point in 2012. In the US, 44 States allow some category of paid gaming or betting, primarily for Race Book; and three states, Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey currently offer online and mobile gambling. In the last 12 months the first five or six states have made progress in, or completed, digital gaming regulatory approval processes, led by Nevada and more recently New Jersey.

 

As reported in the Washington Post, at least nine states are expected to consider allowing online gambling in the next twelve months The Post expects to see movement to consider legislation that would authorize or expand Internet gambling in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. In five of those states (California, Hawaii, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania) such legislation has either already been introduced or carried over from last year.

 

US gaming faces the most stringent technical and regulatory challenges, even more challenging than mobile banking by an order of magnitude. Requirements include Geo-fencing within territorial borders and on-property, plus a sophisticated range of anti-fraud measures to validate the user’s account and the device. Mobile- and simcard-based technologies offer a flexible range of solutions, more so than online or web-based technology (where variable IP addressing negates many anti-fraud measures).

 

We believe there is a true market hunger for partnerships to mobilize and publish gaming content in full compliance with all legal and regulatory demands, by regulator and by territory. In Europe, licenses are also issued by territory and therefore gaming abroad demonstrates many of the same needs as seen in the US. Gaming operators in the EU are more advanced in their digital solution offerings than the US market has seen, although they have uncovered a range of new hurdles; base management, profiling and engagement; maximizing cross-sell and up-sell to their base; push messaging based on location and social media connectivity.

 

Global gambling revenues passed US$ 417 billion, and about $125 billion of that is generated inside the U.S.; according to the latest research undertaken by Investor’s Place in a July 2013 article. This figure is an increase of 5.6% on the previous year.

 

The internet has given rise to an ever increasing trend in gambling. It’s becoming easier than ever to take a chance online. Interactive gambling accounted for 8.4% of global gambling revenues in 2012, up from 8.0% in 2011. This figure would suggest there is still room for further growth in the Interactive sector, especially if the US does adopt some kind of federal or state regulation for Internet gambling in the coming years. In 2012, online gambling revenue was only 8% of global gaming revenue. But that’s still €21.7 billion, not bad when you consider that the cyber-space portion only weighed in at €6.6 billion back in 2003. H2 Gambling Capital believes this growth will continue at a rate of 30% within the next three years, projecting a market worth €28.24 billion by 2015.

 

Commenting on the figures, Global Betting and Gaming Consultancy’s (“GBGC”) Director Lorien Pilling said, “GBGC is forecasting that global gambling revenues will reach US$ 500 billion by 2014”. The market trend towards digital gaming has been reinforced by major technology investments by William Hill and Ladbrokes to name just a few with the focus on seizing market share of a growing digital gambling market estimated by Juniper Research to be worth $100 billion by 2017.

 

Some of the gaming opportunities we foresee include but are not limited to:

 

Mobile Marketing Services – Providing loyalty card and group offerings to Casinos and Hotel chains, allowing the property to have a presence with the members via SMS, MMS and mobile application offerings, creating a one to one marketing experience connecting ties to points, rewards and offerings.

 

Mobile Sports Book (real time) – Providing all the end- to- end mobile infrastructure from cloud hosting, application design, mCommerce, authentication, security, location services and application publishing for sports book operators globally.

 

Mobile Lottery – Providing a turnkey offering to allow lottery operators to take their retail proposition to mobile from the application design, mCommerce, security and publishing.

Sales and Distribution

 

We have existing business partners that we are currently working on developing applications for. We intend to extend our base of business globally. Once funding is achieved, we plan to enter into contracts with existing casinos that desire to add mobile gaming and wagering to their offerings. The addition of a mobile wagering/sports betting platform allows the casinos to brand a new capability and attracts new clients to the property. Typically we will enter into a contract to provide custom gaming and wagering and additionally we will charge a per user fee which may include a percentage of the wage or gaming “rake”.

 

Although the Company will initially focus its resources on generating revenue from the sale of mobile gaming and wagering contracts, we also intend to look for other non-gaming based opportunities.

 

Having conducted a review of adjacent markets, we are confident that secure, compliant digital publishing and transaction solutions are a key component in the following:

 

E-health

  1. increasingly turning mobile, for basic messaging communications right through to health apps

 

  2. US security led by the HIPPA rules (Privacy, Security and Breach Notification)

 

  3. The UN champions health apps in 7 key areas:

·Education and awareness
·Helpline
·Diagnostic and treatment support
·Communication and training for healthcare workers
·Disease and epidemic outbreak tracking
·Remote monitoring
·Remote data collection

 

Government

  1. Local and national government organizations are looking to digital transformation to lead new ways of working

 

  2. Increases accessibility, accountability and cost effectiveness

 

  3. Increases population (and voter) engagement in the 35 and under age demographic

 

Finance and m-commerce

  1. Micropayment solutions such as PayPal or adding small costs to phone bills are now widely accepted

 

  2. Secure mobile banking solutions to underserved areas typically limited to “shadow banking” operations.

 

Our funding commitments have not yet materialized and there can be no assurance that we will raise any of the financing we need for the projects and applications described above. Our financial results to date are reflective of an early stage company that has pilot projects only in place but no active programs. If we are not successful in raising funding in the amounts and the times required, our ability to implement one or more of the projects described above will be adversely affected.

 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Intellectual property that has been licensed as part of our current business deals include cloud development and deployment technology, operating system authentication, white and black list control, mobile device ID verification and empirical application feature support, geo-location support, geo-fence technology and multi brand and location mobile application support. In addition, we will be entering into a license agreement with NY Group for the CAPSA platform in the near future.

 

REGULATION

 

We are fully compliant with the main mobile regulatory controls such as VeriSign, Safe Harbor, and commerce, and all carrier commerce and mobile consumer privacy regulations. The original Tarsin CAPSA platform (developed by the 359 team) is approved by the Nevada Gaming Board as a mobile payment based application and approved solution.

EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

 

At September 8, 2014 the Company (and its subsidiaries) had seven (7) employees. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees. The Company engages the services of independent contractors to assist it with developing our product offerings. We plan to engage full-time employees as our business develops and when we obtain sufficient working capital. All payments made to our employees in calendar 2014 will be properly reported to government agencies.

 

In September 2012, all existing management contracts were terminated by mutual agreement with the parties effective August 31, 2012. On September 1, 2012, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with each of Craig Fielding, CEO and CFO of Consorteum Holdings Inc., and Patrick Shuster, COO and Secretary of Consorteum Holdings, through December 31, 2016. These changes in management contracts were undertaken in light of our financial position and in order to better position us to attract additional financing. Furthermore, as set out in the financial statements, these individuals exchanged significant liabilities that existed as of June 30, 2012, in consideration for issuance of common stock as a subsequent transaction.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On June 27, 2012 plaintiffs Joseph R. Cellura as Chairman and CEO of Game2Mobile and Joseph R. Cellura individually filed a summons and complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) against the Company, our COO Patrick Shuster (“Shuster”), CEO Craig Fielding (“Fielding”) and certain other defendants not affiliated with the Company (the “Action”). The Company, Shuster and Fielding were never served with the summons and complaint, and, upon information and belief, neither were any of the remaining defendants. Plaintiffs alleged 12 different causes of action against various defendants, but only Count XI was alleged against the Company. In this count, plaintiff Cellura individually alleged that the Company (among other defendants) breached his employment agreement with the Company and sought damages in excess of $5,000,000. The complaint did not give any detail of the specific breaches by any of the defendants; nor did it describe how plaintiff had been damaged for a sum in excess of $5,000,000. The complaint also alleged certain securities law violations against all individual defendants. Lastly, the complaint alleged various causes of action against the individual defendants for intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, and interference with various business opportunities, prospective advantage, and negligent supervision. The Company never entered into any employment agreement with Mr. Cellura. The Company also had various counterclaims against Mr. Cellura.

 

In October 2012, the Company and Cellura as well as certain of the individual defendants named in the Action entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which (among other matters) Cellura agreed to discontinue the Action against the Company and file a stipulation of discontinuance with prejudice with the Court in which the Action was pending. The parties also agreed to exchange general releases with each other such that all claims by Cellura and his affiliates against the Company were resolved; the stipulation of discontinuance was filed with the Court and a general release agreement was executed and delivered by all parties on or about October 31, 2012 ending the Action.

 

As of the fiscal year end, the Company was a creditor in two related bankruptcy cases in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California (“Court”). The Company filed proofs of claim and submitted an administrative expense claim for critical support services rendered to debtors in both In re Game2Mobile, Case No. 13-52062 and In re Tarsin, Inc. Case No. 13-53607. On or about June 10, 2014, the Court approved the debtors’ motion to sell substantially all of their assets to NYG Holdings, LLC (“NYG”) and a related motion to approve a compromise of controversy with Tarsin (Europe) LTD., the largest unsecured creditor in these bankruptcy cases. As related to the sale, the Company negotiated a settlement with NYG whereby, among other things, NYG would grant the Company a new license for the CAPSA platform and the Company would withdraw its claims in the bankruptcy cases upon receipt of the license with NYG. It is anticipated that the Company will enter into the license agreement with NYG in the near future and make appropriate bankruptcy filings thereafter.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

 

Consorteum Holdings has spent the last year recasting the direction of the Company. We intend to take advantage of the opportunities that we have identified in the digital delivery of content to mobile devices. The market opportunities that are opened to a company that can master the technology of delivering any digital content in a secure, geographically precise area, across any smart phone or mobile device are vast. Our main task has been to narrow our initial focus on the market of mobile gaming. The technology necessary to successfully deliver end-to-end gaming content for our customers requires the platform to be capable of a secure financial transaction, with complicated rules of winning, regulated by a government entity that depends on location based services. If you break apart each of the technology barriers outlined, you can begin to see how powerful our advantage will become as we go to market with customers in the gaming, medical and pharmaceutical industry, government services and financial transaction e-commerce businesses.

Our decision to enter into a licensing agreement with Tarsin Inc. to enable our use of their first generation CAPSA platform for mobile content delivery enabled the Company to validate the market opportunities. In addition, the Company anticipates executing a long term licensing agreement with NYG Holdings LLC in the near future to preserve the Company’s right to utilize the CAPSA platform. This agreement will actually improve the Company’s position by enabling the ThreeFiftyNine development team to create platform improvements, rebrand and market the enhanced platform which will be known as the Universal Mobile Interface. It is our belief that the UMI platform will lead the market in the capability to deliver unique solutions to customers that will become the basis of our revenue moving forward.

 

In August 2013, the Company announced the first organizational restructuring that has been designed to expedite our new market entries in technology and payment solutions. A new business entity, ThreeFiftyNine Inc., was incorporated by us in Nevada. This subsidiary will act as the lead operational business unit. A core technology development team has been recruited and is in place at ThreeFiftyNine, including resources in the areas of cloud infrastructure design, development, and deployment, as well as in digital transaction management.

 

ThreeFiftyNine Inc. intends to be a highly differentiated business in the digital space, with brand development occurring on a continual basis to further enhance our UMI platform and meet the needs of our target client base. The business is commercializing a number of new business opportunities that have been under assessment. This involves formalizing a structure to support go-to-market programs that have already been through a business review and modeling process. The proposed programs are closely tied to key vertical market segments, with lead customers and partners in both direct and indirect distribution models.

 

On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into a binding term sheet commitment (the “Term Sheet”) for a $30,000,000 funding agreement with AIC Group Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“AIC” or “Funder”). AIC has agreed to lend $30,000,000 to the Company in six (6) consecutive monthly installments (the “Loan”) with the first portion of the funding to begin no later than 60 days from the date of the Term Sheet. The installments will vary in size depending upon the working capital requirements of the Company at the time each installment is due. AIC may extend only the first installment one time for a period of up to 45 days. The Loan will bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning one year from the funding of the first portion of the Loan. The Loan and all remaining accrued and unpaid interest is due and repayable seven (7) years after the first funding installment; provided, however, that the Company may extend the repayment date for two successive one year periods by giving 90 day prior notice to AIC and paying an extension fee of 2% of the principal amount of the Loan to be renewed. If AIC defaults in advancing any installment of the Loan, then the Loan agreement shall terminate forthwith and the Company shall have no repayment obligation to AIC. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Company will grant AIC a first priority security interest in and to all of its assets including its Intellectual Property (“IP”) as collateral security for the Loan. If the Company defaults in making any repayment of interest or principal or under any other material terms and conditions of the Loan, AIC shall have the rights of a secured party under the security agreement to foreclose on the Company collateral to satisfy the Loan. The Company will pay a total of four percent (4%) of the Loan in origination fees to two consultants as each portion of the Loan is funded, and a onetime administrative fee of $150,000 that will be refunded if the funding of the Loan does not occur as scheduled. The Loan has yet to close, as discussed below. The Company has elected to expense the financing fees advanced rather than to defer these items.

 

AIC has agreed to use its best efforts to provide directly or through an affiliate a bridge loan for $2,000,000 (amended to $4,000,000 on May 22, 2013)(the “Bridge Loan”) within sixty (60) days of the execution of the Term Sheet. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and shall be repayable from the first proceeds under the Loan. If the Loan does not proceed, then the Bridge Loan, if made, will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be repaid in one year from its date and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. The Bridge Loan did not close during either of the 60-day periods, as discussed below.

 

As part of the Loan, the Company agreed to issue to AIC an amount of its shares of common stock as shall equal thirty–five percent (35%) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated on a fully-diluted basis (the “AIC Shares”); provided, however, that the issuance of the AIC Shares shall not occur until one year from the date of the first funding of the Loan by AIC to the Company. In the event that the Loan or any portion thereof is not funded as scheduled, the Company shall issue only that portion of the AIC Shares to AIC that is calculated as the percentage of the amount of the Loan actually funded by AIC to the total Loan amount. All of the AIC Shares shall be restricted shares and AIC shall enter into a covenant neither to engage in any short selling nor to sell more than certain specified numbers of its shares during each quarterly period.

 

There are other conditions to the Loan as follows: (1) AIC shall be given the right to designate up to two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors such appointments to be made in time with the funding of the Loan. (2) AIC and the Company shall enter into a Business Services Development Agreement under which AIC will assist and advise the Company in connection with development of its business under its business plan in effect from time to time. (3) The parties will negotiate and execute certain agreements to reflect all of these transactions including a loan agreement, a secured promissory note, a share issuance and shareholders agreement, a convertible bridge note, a business services development agreement, and such other documents as the parties may mutually agree.

The AIC Funding was expected to close in fiscal year 2013. The closing delay was attributable to AIC working through a complex process with several international banks, part of AIC’s transaction, and the necessity of working through all the due diligence items prior to closing. As a result of the delays, the Company has negotiated an Amendment No. 1 to the Term Sheet dated May 22, 2013 to increase the Bridge Loan from $2 million to $4 million with the remaining funds of $30 million to be paid out over the next six months. The Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and will convert to a convertible note that shall continue to bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and be convertible into restricted shares of common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average closing price per share of common stock of the Company for the five (5) days preceding the conversion date. Ultimately AIC was unable to close this amended round of funding and the Company was advised that AIC experienced delays with its original funding partner but subsequently secured an alternative funding partner. AIC has represented to the Company that the funds are now under AIC’s control and AIC is working with its bridge funding partners to provide the bridge financing in the near future. Due to the extreme delays experienced, the Company has informed AIC that should funding not occur as committed to, the Company will pursue all legal remedies available to recover its $150,000 funding deposit as well as damages relating to breach of contract and lost business opportunities. Furthermore, the Company has expensed the financing fees.

 

In January 2013, we made a partial payment of $180,432 towards acquiring a 10% common equity investment in KO Gaming, Inc. and a 5% common equity investment in KO Entertainment, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million, which may be funded in its entirety when and if the funds are received from the $30 million investment discussed above and subject to further due diligence. The Company has elected to expense the funds advanced to date. Knockout Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is dedicated to leading the online gaming industry worldwide by providing innovative i-gaming turnkey solutions in an expanding industry. Knockout Gaming’s executive management team has extensive expertise in this multi- billion-dollar industry. Knockout Gaming has aligned itself with industry leaders to provide cutting-edge online gaming solutions. Online gambling licenses are only awarded to companies that have passed a rigorous vetting process. Knockout Gaming's license was issued on July 17, 2012 and is regulated by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. There are only about 47 platforms to date that have been approved in the past eight years by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission.

KO Entertainment, Inc. distributes quality entertainment and media products in online, digital, and print media. Its latest offering is the debut of Knockout LIVE on Roku IPTV Systems. Knockout LIVE will represent the launch of the first network to stream in Blu-Ray quality on IPTV. While intended primarily as a music network, Knockout LIVE will also be hosting exclusive pay-per-view interactive concerts and other events. We impaired this investment since we are not in a position to make any additional investment due to our illiquidity at the current time.

 

In October 2012, we secured a license to market and license the CAPSA technology from Tarsin Inc. (“Tarsin”). The licensing agreement provided the Company with an exclusive right to license the CAPSA software platform in selected geographical markets throughout Canada and Mexico, along with select customers within the United States and is capable of providing digital media to a wide range of mobile handsets, and provides for the ability to securely transmit financial information to individual handset owners. The Tarsin license provided us with capabilities in the mobile handset market, which we could use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets. Tarsin Inc. filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. The Company was a creditor in this Case No. 13-53607. In resolving the bankruptcy case, NYG Holdings LLC, (“NYG”) acquired the original intellectual property from Tarsin Inc., which included the first generation CAPSA platform.

 

On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into a multi-year license agreement for the platform with NYG. This license grants latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will now be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface. We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals.

 

As mentioned earlier, the licensing agreement that we have reached with NYG provides the Company with the right to license the CAPSA software platform, make further enhancements to the platform and market and rebrand it. ThreeFiftyNine’s Universal Mobile Interface platform is capable of providing digital media to a wide range of mobile handsets, and provides for the ability to securely transmit financial information to individual handset owners. The UMI provides us with proven capabilities in the mobile handset market, which we can use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets. At the heart is the capability to deliver any digital content across any cellular network to any Mobile Device. This key differentiator makes it possible for us to approach many different markets that are in the business of providing mobile connectivity and mobile content. With the development team in place, we will now begin to add additional businesses that complement our capabilities. Our new software solution will be a second generation platform and will represent a key advantage for our company as we enter into the mobile gaming market.

 

The Company understands the complexities of delivering digital media content across mobile devices. Multiple different operating systems, user interfaces, and form factors have created enormous barriers to launching commercial initiatives. Our mobile solution combines a hybrid mobile application with a thin client server platform, allowing us to deliver thin client applications that are handset agnostic. 359’s Universal Mobile Interface supports over 1500 different handset/tablets that allow us a unique capability to deliver optimum display content and device functionality to any mobile device. Naturally, our UMI contains multiple security functions including geo-fence and geo-location technologies.

Combined with our experience in the payment processing and financial transaction markets, we believe that recent advances in technology have enabled smart phones to develop custom applications that will allow the phone to process payments, conduct banking transactions and emulate the traditional role that ATM machines now play. We intend to leverage our expertise in mobile applications development to target new opportunities to provide traditional banking and payment services to our customers.

 

Universal Mobile Interface- the Solution for Going Mobile

 

Today’s current mobile application and content solutions are limited - whether it be in how users can interact, or the number of devices it can actually support. As companies look to mobile strategies, the picture gets extremely cloudy in how to develop a rich mobile offering that can resonate within the mass market. Our UMI is able to take the “how” out of mobile planning, encompassing all the components that allow for a rich mobile experience to be delivered to a handset.  In order to initiate and maintain connections with mobile consumers, it is absolutely critical for a platform to be interoperable between any mobile network and device. This full-service approach redefines how brands develop mobile strategies to strengthen their connections to consumers. 359 works with operators and multi-tier networks to successfully execute programs on behalf of brands. 359’s UMI platform provides an end-to-end, versatile framework for brands to design once and deliver unparalleled mobile experiences. UMI is a comprehensive universal mobile content delivery solution that is based on web-standards and is carrier, operating systems and device agnostic. This allows companies to reach the broadest consumer base: 5200+ devices; 27+ languages; 180+ countries; non-native font support. Today, the UMI supports millions of mobile consumers, with thousands added daily. 

 

The license agreement with NYG in the near future is intended to become the keystone in our plans to rebrand ourselves as a leader in the mobile publishing and mobile gaming industry. All of our previous initiatives will be redesigned with the core focus of establishing our reputation for creative solutions cross platforms applications in a mobile world. The UMI platform will facilitate our ability to develop mobile applications that can be leveraged into many different market verticals (including but not limited to):

 

  · e-health
  · Government
  · Finance and m-commerce

 

We anticipate that in the near future we will deliver to market a series of mobile applications in the gaming, entertainment, sports and mobile financial solutions industries.

 

In monetizing the platform itself, our B2B sales effort is focused on sports books and lotteries (who are already well aware of the compelling returns on mobile). We intend to leverage our compliance and audit proof points, and in addition to mobilizing their content we intend to offer additional games from our content portfolio to generate cross-sell and higher revenues, maximizing ROI for the client on their customer base.

 

We have been focused on initiating new agreements and commencing pilot projects intended to demonstrate the efficacy of the business model. The lack of working capital has challenged this process and in 2012, we were forced to restructure our affairs.  The outcome of that process included the decision to reduce the number of business opportunities, the termination of all management contracts, and the arrangement with officers, employees, and suppliers to forgive certain indebtedness in September 2012.

 

We have incurred losses since commencing the above initiatives in June 2011 and will likely continue in 2014 and 2015 until such time that we can generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating needs. We have significant liabilities, some of which we acquired through the acquisition of MEXI, which we are currently converting into common stock, which should be completed within the next twelve months. We will need to increase our authorized shares prior to converting all notes, which is in control of our two officers. We intend to work through reducing or eliminating the remaining liabilities, and to continue to raise additional working capital to meet the demands of the Company’s initiatives.

 

Our funding commitments have not yet materialized and there can be no assurance that we will raise any of the financing we need. The financial results of 2013 and 2014 are reflective of an early stage company. The limited financial resources available have impacted results for the current year.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash Flows – Fiscal 2014 

 

We had a cash balance of $53,993 at June 30, 2014.

 

During fiscal 2014, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $1,720,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3,650,000 primarily attributable to compensation and contractual services under S,G &A and interest expense.

 

14
 

 

During fiscal 2014, we used cash from our investing activities of approximately $22,000, primarily for the purchase of equipment.

 

During fiscal 2014, we generated net cash from financing activities of approximately $1,845,000, which primarily consisted of proceeds from officer advances, in addition to the issuance of convertible promissory notes to existing convertible noteholders.

 

Cash Flows – Fiscal 2013

 

We had no cash balance at June 30, 2013.

 

During fiscal 2013, we used cash in our operating activities amounting to approximately $1,180,000. Our cash used in operating activities was comprised of our net loss from continuing operations of approximately $4,809,000 primarily due to stock based compensation expense and impairment.

 

During fiscal 2013, we used cash from our investing activities of approximately $700,000 for the proposed acquisition of Tarsin, which ultimately became a license agreement with Tarsin for certain territorial rights to their technology. We invested approximately $180,000 in minority ownership positions in both KO Gaming, Inc. and KO Entertainment, Inc. Both of these items have been expensed in the financial statements.

 

During fiscal 2013, we generated cash from financing activities of approximately $1,925,000, which consisted of proceeds from loans and the issuance of convertible promissory notes.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States assuming the Company will continue as a going-concern. We have incurred losses since inception and our ability to continue as a going-concern depends upon our ability to continue to raise adequate financing and develop profitable operations. We have a working capital deficit of approximately $11,015,000 at June 30, 2014. Subsequent to such date, we have raised working capital of approximately $395,000 through officer advances to fund our working capital requirements. We are actively targeting sources of additional financing, which would assure continuation of the Company’s operations. The current market conditions and volatility increase the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern given the need to both curtail expenditures and to raise additional funds. The Company is and has experienced negative operating cash flows and needs to invest in continuing pilot projects and operating partnerships which cannot be met from existing cash balances. The Company will continue to search for new funds and for new collaborative partners for its projects.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, we may be forced to sell or assign rights to our technologies. Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

Revenues

 

Our first revenues from commercial sales and licensing are expected to be from the NYG license agreement. We expect our revenues to be derived from transactions processed using our Universal Mobile Interface platform technology in certain countries outside the United States. The first market we expect to generate revenues in is North America.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of consultant fees related to software development, marketing programs, which consists mostly of business development and advertising expenses, as well as other general and administrative expenses, including payroll expenses, necessary to support our marketing plans and our operations, legal expenses and professional fees.

 

The decrease in our selling, general, and administrative expenses in fiscal 2014 when compared to fiscal 2013 is primarily attributable to a reduction in stock compensation, bad debt and impairment on intangible assets, offset by an increase in payroll expense.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest consists of interest payable pursuant to stated rates on interest bearing indebtedness, as well as amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs.

 

The increase in interest expense in fiscal 2014 when compared to fiscal 2013 is primarily due to the issuance of additional loans payable during the fiscal year in addition to a continuing increase of accrued interest on existing loans.

 

Net Losses

 

We have continued to incur losses for the periods presented. We expect to incur losses until the Company can generate revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs. The Company will need to continue to raise additional working capital to develop its business initiatives until they turn profitable.

 

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company does not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

 

We do not have any significant contractual obligations to third parties other than an annual obligation to MasterCard and issuing banks under the Unity program initiative not exceeding $50,000 in any year.

 

There are no commitments for capital expenditures.

 

There are currently two management contracts.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:  

 

16
 

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause future results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, lower than anticipated retail transactions, and inability to control expenses, the inability to raise funds for working capital, technology changes in the industry, relationships with processing agencies and networks, changes in our relationship with related parties providing operating services to the Company, the activities of competitors and general uncertain economic conditions. Negative developments in these or other risk factors including the potential loss of the NYG licensed platform could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future financial position, results of operations and cash flow. See also the Forward Looking Statements section of this report.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360, “Property plant and equipment,” long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell. As described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the long-lived assets have been valued on a going concern basis. However, substantial doubt exists as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The asset values were materially impaired during the fourth quarter of 2013, largely due to our severe financial condition.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided for net deferred tax assets since we have no history of earnings. In addition, we have deferred tax assets related to our net operating losses; however, due to our issuances of common and preferred stock, we will not be able to recover such loss carry forwards to offset future taxable income.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

In accordance with the provision of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” the Company, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, translates its balance sheet into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and translates its revenues and expenses at the average rates prevailing during each reporting period. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are accumulated and charged directly to accumulated comprehensive income or (loss), a component of stockholders' equity or (deficit). Realized gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations for the period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results will differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. Those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us, or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on us. The Company early adopted ASU 2014-10.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

As of June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Based on the foregoing, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014.

  

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Our internal control system is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of our inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness as to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or becausethe degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014. As a result of its assessment, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the weaknesses described below, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2014. In making this assessment, our management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

 

18
 

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of our assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014:

 

  · While there were internal controls and procedures in place that relate to financial reporting and the prevention and detection of material misstatements, these controls did not meet the required documentation and effectiveness requirements and therefore, management could not certify that these controls were correctly implemented. As a result, it was management’s opinion that the lack of documentation warranted a material weakness in the financial reporting process.

 

  · There is lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as one consultant performs our financial reporting and all accounting functions. This weakness is due to our lack of working capital to hire additional staff during the period covered by this report.

 

We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.  Even with this change, due to the increasing number and complexity of pronouncements, emerging issues and releases, and reporting requirements and regulations, we expect there will continue to be some risk related to financial disclosures. However, the process of identifying risk areas and implementing financial disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act continues to be complex and subject to significant judgment and may result in the identification in the future of areas where we may need additional resources.  Additionally, due to the complexity and judgment involved in this process, we cannot guarantee that we will not find or have pointed out to us either by internal or external resources, or by our auditors, additional areas needing improvement or resulting in a future assessment that our controls are or have become ineffective as a result of overlooked or newly created significant deficiencies or unmitigated risks.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

An attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting is not required.

____________________

(1) On September 21, 2012, the Company entered into a new 51-month employment agreement with Mr. Craig Fielding to serve as Chief Executive Officer, retroactive to September 1, 2012. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Fielding is to be paid a base salary of $240,000, a $5,000 per month office allowance and incentive compensation amounting to 5% to 50% of base salary with revenue targets ranging from $0- $2,000,000 and in excess of $10,000,000.

____________________

(1) The amount includes shares owned of record and beneficially by each of the directors and officers as at October 14, 2014.; thus it includes shares issued and to be issued for accrued compensation, return of previously surrendered shares to our treasury for other use, the reissuance of shares for an equivalent number of shares foreclosed upon in satisfaction of an obligation of us and the forgiveness of our indebtedness owed to directors or officers.
(2) For purposes of this calculation all beneficial ownership issuances have been included as issued and outstanding.
(3) Represents beneficial ownership and not ownership of record.
(4) Mr. Fielding owns of record 10,000 shares of our common stock and is the beneficial owner of 106,139,999 shares of our common stock.
(5) Mr. Brown owns directly 8,400,000 shares of our common stock and may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 34,426,150 shares of our common stock that would be owned by the T. Brown Family Investment Trust (the "Trust") upon its conversion of $688,523.44 of our convertible promissory notes at a conversion price of $0.02 for each share of common stock, by virtue of his position as trustee of the Trust. The Trust does not own any shares of our common stock at this time. See note 6 below.
(6) The T. Brown Family Trust (the "Trust") does not own any shares of our common stock. The calculations in the table assume that the T. Brown Family Trust has converted a total of $688,523.44 of convertible promissory notes from the Company to the Trust into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Under the promissory notes the conversion for all or any portion of the outstanding promissory notes can be made by the Trust at any time; therefore they are included in the table on as converted basis. These calculations are based upon the face amount of the Company promissory notes and do not include accrued and unpaid interest.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Consorteum Holdings, Inc.

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consorteum Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period in the two years ended June 30, 2014. 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 audit.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consorteum Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period in the two years ended June 30, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Consorteum Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has a working capital deficit, and has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CONSORTEUM HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Going Concern

 

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings" or the “Company”), formerly known as Implex Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 7, 2005. On April 9, 2009, the Company changed its name to Consorteum Holdings, Inc.

 

In July 2013 the Company made a decision to recast its business as a provider of digital content across mobile devices. To that end, we retained a senior level software development team. In conjunction therewith, the Company formed two Nevada subsidiaries: Bad Rabbit Inc. and ThreeFiftyNine Inc. Moving forward, ThreeFiftyNine sets out to be a highly differentiated business in the digital space, focusing on cloud infrastructure design, development and deployment, as well as on digital transaction management.

 

Combined with our personnel’s experience in the payment processing and financial transaction markets, we believe that recent advances in technology have enabled smart phones to develop custom applications that will allow the phone to process payments, conduct banking transactions and emulate the traditional role that ATM machines now play. We intend to leverage our expertise in mobile applications development to target new opportunities to provide traditional banking and payment services to our customers.

 

In October 2012, we secured a license to market and license the CAPSA technology from Tarsin Inc. (“Tarsin”). The licensing agreement provided the Company with an exclusive right to license the CAPSA software platform in selected geographical markets throughout Canada, and Mexico, along with select customers within the United States and is capable of providing digital media to a wide range of mobile handsets, and provides for the ability to securely transmit financial information to individual handset owners. The Tarsin license provided us with capabilities in the mobile handset market, which we could use to ensure cross functionality of mobile applications across a wide variety of handsets. Tarsin Inc. filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. The Company was a creditor in this Case No. 13-53607. In resolving the bankruptcy case, NYG Holdings LLC (“NYG”) acquired the original intellectual property from Tarsin Inc., which included the first generation CAPSA platform.

 

On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license, which is expected to be entered into in October 2014, will grant latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface (“UMI”). We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals. The multi-year license agreement is for five years and is thereafter renewable annually. The Company is responsible to pay royalties fees of 10% of net revenues plus $100,000 annually. However, the first 18 months of the agreement will be royalty free and the first three years of annual payments waived.

 

In July 2012, we entered into negotiations with Knockout Gaming Limited (“Knockout”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Isle of Man, to resell their online gaming licensed platform, Fireplay. We intend to enter into a licensing and reselling agreement once Knockout launches their platform. Since July 2012, we paid $180,432 to Knockout as an interim payment against a future equity position in Knockout. If the Company obtains funding, we intend to purchase up to a 10% equity position in Knockout pending further due diligence.

 

Going Concern and Management Plan

The Company's consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered losses from operations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of approximately $11 million. The Company's working capital deficit and recent losses raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has secured working capital of approximately $2.2 million during the year ended June 30, 2014. Subsequent to such date, the Company has raised additional capital totaling approximately $395,000; such proceeds were used for working capital of the business. The Company requires additional equity or debt financing to meet its obligations as they become due. In the event that such financing is not secured, the Company will not be able to satisfy its liabilities. Furthermore, certain debt is overdue and is secured by all assets of the Company. The Company is attempting to restructure some of the debt and secure cash from an executed capital raise agreement and additional financing partners to satisfy its existing obligations and provide for sufficient working capital to meet the Company’s future obligations but there are no guarantees that the Company will be able to do any of these things.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year. Set forth below are the Company's significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consorteum Holdings, Inc., Consorteum Inc., Bad Rabbit, Inc. and ThreeFiftyNine, Inc.; ThreeFiftyNine, Inc. had very few activities during the year. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to the estimated the utilization of future income tax assets, potential penalties on certain wages, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results will ultimately differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise bank balances and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful life of the property and equipment, is provided over a period of three years.

 

Intangible asset

Intangible asset represents a software license right acquired as part of our exclusive licensing agreement with Tarsin Inc. to use the CAPSA platform in defined territories. The license is subject to an annual license fee, which was satisfied for 2013 in consideration for a total of approximately $234,000 paid to Tarsin. Amortization expense relating to intangible assets was $0 and $51,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Management determined that impairment of the intangible asset was appropriate in fiscal 2013, see Note 4)

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, plant and equipment," long lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell.

 

Deferred finance charges

Deferred finance charges represent the unamortized financing costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments and are amortized over the terms of the respective financing arrangement using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2013, the Company paid an outside broker a one-time refundable administrative fee of approximately $150,000 related to a $30,000,000 financing transaction that was to initially close by May 31, 2013. Due to the uncertainty of the transaction and recoverability of the funding deposit, the Company has charged the $150,000 to expense rather than to defer this amount as of June 30, 2013.

 

Convertible Debt with Beneficial Conversion Features

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC 740 “Beneficial Conversion Features”. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt that have conversion features at fixed or adjustable rates that are in-the-money when issued and records the fair value of warrants issued with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion features, both of which are credited to paid-in-capital.

 

F-8
 

 

The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued, if any, with the convertible instruments using the Black-Scholes valuation method, using the same assumptions used for valuing employee options for purposes of ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, except that the contractual life of the warrant is used. Under these guidelines, the Company allocates the value of the proceeds received from a convertible debt transaction between the conversion feature and any other detachable instruments (such as warrants) on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded as a debt discount or premium and is amortized over the expected term of the convertible debt to interest expense. For a conversion price change of a convertible debt issue, the additional intrinsic value of the debt conversion feature, calculated as the number of additional shares issuable due to a conversion price change multiplied by the previous conversion price, is recorded as additional debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the debt.

  

Convertible Debt with Adjustable Conversion Options

Convertible debt which contains rights that allow the holders to adjust their conversion price in the event the Company issues common stock at a price per share below their conversion price or convert principal into a variable number of shares with no floor price.  Accordingly, the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) apply and must be evaluated by us. ASC 815 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. These conversion features are bifurcated and recorded at fair value at each reporting date using the Black Sholes valuation model.

 

Revenue recognition

The Company will recognize revenue based on the following criteria: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Share-Based Payments

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees and consultants under ASC 718 “Share-Based Payment”. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite vesting period.

 

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505 “Equity”. The fair value of the option issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company's common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty's performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

Income taxes 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

  

Foreign currency translation

In accordance with the provision of ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters," the Company, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, translates its balance sheet into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date and translates its revenues and expenses at the average rates prevailing during each reporting period. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are accumulated and charged directly to accumulated comprehensive income or (loss), a component of stockholders' equity or (deficit). Realized gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations for the period.

 

Comprehensive Income or loss

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange translation are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Earnings or loss per share

The Company accounts for earnings or loss per share pursuant to ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," which requires disclosure on the financial statements of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities outstanding for each year. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented as its effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

F-9
 

 

The Company excluded 20,000,000 options and 3,172,184 warrants from the calculation for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, as the exercise prices were in excess of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, all conversion prices of convertible debt were in excess of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock, and accordingly, excluded from the dilutive share calculation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

ASC 825 "Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit concentration. The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. From time to time, the Company may have funds on deposit with commercial banks that exceed federally insured limits. Management does not consider this to be a significant credit risk as these banks and financial institutions have good standing.

 

The Company maintains its cash accounts in a commercial bank and in an institutional money-market fund account. The total cash balances held in a commercial bank are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000, per insured bank. At times, the Company has cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. In addition, the Institutional Funds Account is insured through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $500,000 per customer, including up to $100,000 for cash. At times, the Company has cash deposits in excess of federally and institutional insured limits.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity, or DSE, in its entirety from GAAP. Under existing guidance, DSEs are required to report incremental information, including inception-to-date financial information, in their financial statements. A DSE is an entity devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and for which either planned principal operations have not yet commenced or have commenced but there has been no significant revenues generated from that business. Entities classified as DSEs will no longer be subject to these incremental reporting requirements after adopting ASU No. 2014-10. ASU No. 2014-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required for the elimination of incremental DSE disclosures. Prior to the issuance of ASU No. 2014-10, the Company had met the definition of a DSE since its inception. The Company elected to adopt this ASU early, and therefore it has eliminated the incremental disclosures previously required of DSEs.

 

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

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Cash (Level 1), note receivables, due to stockholders, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes and loans payable (Level 2) are reflected in the balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

4. Note Receivable and License Agreement with Tarsin

 

On October 10, 2012, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Tarsin for rights to the CAPSA technology; the agreement is for a term of three (3) years. In connection therewith, the Company acquired exclusive rights to market, sell and service CAPSA in Canada, Mexico, as well as select customers in the United States. The Company must pay $100,000, annually, beginning in year two of the agreement. Under the license, the Company is subject to a royalty of 12.5% of revenues generated by the Company from the CAPSA technology. The Company also retains the “Right of First Negotiation” to enter into markets in the United States, which do not overlap with the existing contractual relationships that Tarsin has with Stations Casino in Nevada. Since the date of the license agreement, the Company advanced Tarsin approximately $234,000 and applied such amount to the license. Amortization of said license for the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was zero and $51,000, respectively. Management determined that due to the financial difficulties of Tarsin and their bankruptcy filing, the ability for the Company to execute on the licensed technology may be hindered. Accordingly, the remaining capitalized amount as of June 30, 2013 of approximately $183,000 was impaired. The charge for impairment is included in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

F-10
 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company made advances to Tarsin totaling $241,000. The Company entered into a note agreement with Tarsin to be repaid by September 16, 2013, with interest at 0.25% per annum. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company advanced Tarsin an additional $182,000 with aggregate advances of approximately $423,000. This note and additional advances was not repaid as of June 30, 2013. Management determined that due to the financial difficulties of Tarsin and their bankruptcy filing, there is substantial doubt about the ability to be repaid on the aggregate amount of the note receivable from Tarsin. Accordingly, management reserved the full amount of advances totaling $423,000 and charged operations in fiscal 2013.

 

The Company paid consulting fees to Tarsin’s president of approximately $142,000 and $73,000 during fiscal 2014 and 2013 fiscal year. As of June 30, 2014 the Company owed Tarsin’s president $100,000 for consulting services rendered.

 

5. Investment, at cost and Deferred Financing Costs

 

Investment, at cost

During fiscal 2013, the Company made a partial payment of approximately $180,000 towards acquiring a 10% common equity investment in KO Gaming, Inc. and a 5% common equity investment in KO Entertainment, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million.

 

Management determined that since the initial investment was made, an impairment of the asset value had occurred. Management determined that the remaining value was minimal, if any, and fully impaired the investment as of June 30, 2013. The charge for impairment is included in the accompanying statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

In fiscal 2013, per the terms of a funding agreement with AIC Group Holdings Limited, the Company paid a one-time administration fee of $150,000. It was ultimately determined that it was doubtful that the funding would be consummated and accordingly, the Company charged the $150,000 to expense in fiscal 2013.

 

6. Equipment, Net

 

Equipment consists of cost of computer equipment of approximately $48,861 and $25,000, at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and related accumulated depreciation of approximately $30,975 and $18,900 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $11,200 and $1,200 during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

7. Accrued Expenses

 

The Company's accrued expenses are as follows:

 

   June 30,
2014
   June 30,
2013
 
Salaries, wages and benefits - officers  $446,649   $69,687

Other Matters

 

On June 27, 2012 plaintiffs Joseph R. Cellura as Chairman and CEO of Game2Mobile and Joseph R. Cellura individually filed a summons and complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) against the Company, our COO Patrick Shuster (“Shuster”), our CEO Craig Fielding (“Fielding”) and certain other defendants not affiliated with the Company (the “Action”). The Company, Shuster and Fielding were never served with the summons and complaint, and, upon information and belief, neither were any of the remaining defendants. Plaintiffs alleged 12 different causes of action against various defendants, but only Count XI was alleged against the Company. In this count, plaintiff Cellura individually alleged that the Company (among other defendants) breached his employment agreement with the Company and sought damages in excess of $5,000,000. The complaint did not give any detail of the specific breaches by any of the defendants; nor did it describe how plaintiff had been damaged for a sum in excess of $5,000,000. The complaint also alleged certain securities law violations against all individual defendants. Lastly, the complaint alleged various causes of action against the individual defendants for intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, interference with various business opportunities, prospective advantage, and negligent supervision. The Company never entered into any employment agreement with Mr. Cellura. The Company also had various counterclaims against Mr. Cellura.

 

In October 2012, the Company and Cellura as well as certain of the individual defendants named in the Action entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which (among other matters) Cellura agreed to discontinue the Action against the Company and file a stipulation of discontinuance with prejudice with the Court in which the Action was pending. The parties also agreed to exchange general releases with each other such that all claims by Cellura and his affiliates against the Company were resolved; the stipulation of discontinuance was filed with the Court and a general release agreement was executed and delivered by all parties on or about October 31, 2012 ending the Action.

 

As of the fiscal year end, the Company was a creditor in two related bankruptcy cases in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California (“Court”). The Company filed proofs of claim and submitted an administrative expense claim for critical support services rendered to debtors in both In re Game2Mobile, Case No. 13-52062 and In re Tarsin, Inc. Case No. 13-53607. On or about June 10, 2014, the Court approved the debtors’ motion to sell substantially all of their assets to NYG Holdings, LLC (“NYG”) and a related motion to approve a compromise of controversy with Tarsin (Europe) LTD., the largest unsecured creditor in these bankruptcy cases. As related to the sale, the Company negotiated a settlement with NYG whereby, among other things, NYG would grant the Company a new license for the CAPSA platform and the Company would withdraw its claims in the bankruptcy cases upon receipt of the license with NYG.

 

On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license, which is expected to be entered into in October 2014, will grant latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface. We intend to initially introduce the UMI platform into the market utilizing branded partnership relationships in the mobile sports betting and casino gaming verticals. The multi-year license agreement is for five years and is thereafter renewable annually. The Company is responsible to pay royalties fees of 10% of net revenues plus $100,000 annually. However, the first 18 months of the agreement will be royalty free and the first three years of annual payments waived.

 

The Company leases office space in Incline Village, Nevada pursuant to a lease executed in July 2013. The monthly rent is approximately $4,500. The initial lease was for three months with various options to extend through July 2015 if desired.

 

11. Stockholders’ Deficit

 

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. At the present time, assuming all of the rights and obligations to issue approximately 185,000,000 shares of common stock under convertible notes, warrants and stock options became due as of June 30, 2014, the Company would not have sufficient authorized common shares to fulfill such obligations. However, Company’s two officers, who are also directors, control sufficient votes through their holdings of Series A and B Preferred Stock to increase the authorized shares at any time, when deemed appropriate. The Company intends to increase our authorized common shares in the near future.

 

F-14
 

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has 100,000,000 preferred shares authorized, having a par value of $.001 per share.

 

Of the preferred shares authorized, 5,000,000 have been designated as Series A preferred shares and 15,000,000 have been designated as Series B preferred shares. The rights and privileges of the Series A shares consist of super voting rights at 200 votes per share held, conversion rights on a one-to-one basis with common stock, and liquidation preference as described below. The rights and privileges of the Series B shares consist of voting rights equal to one vote per share held, conversion rights equal to Series A and liquidation preference as described below.

 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any common stock or Series B preferred stock liquidation preference, the holders of the Series A preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the original amount paid by the holder thereof for each share of Series A Preferred Stock owned by such holder as of the effective date of such liquidation, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned of record by such holder as of the liquidation date (as adjusted for any combinations, splits, recapitalization and the like with respect to such shares). Series B preferred stock is next in liquidation preference after the Series A preferred stock, and is computed consistently with the formula above for the Series A preferred stock.

 

On September 21, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved the creation of a Series C Preferred Stock. In connection therewith, the Company filed a certificate of designations with the Nevada Secretary of State to create and reserve for future issuance 40,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The shares are voting, will pay no dividend, are each convertible into four (4) shares of common stock, and have a liquidation preference junior to the Series A and B Preferred Stock. No Series C shares had been issued as of June 30, 2014.

 

Common Stock

 

The Company is proposing an increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock available for future issuance in order to have shares available for a variety of corporate purposes including the conversion to common stock of outstanding convertible notes. Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize it to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. The Company does not propose to increase our authorized preferred stock, which will remain unchanged. In August 2013, the Company filed a PREFORM 14C with the SEC to increase the authorized shares of its common stock to 750 million. The Company will likely be finalizing and filing that document in the near future and then notifying shareholders as required and changing our Articles of Incorporation to reflect the additional shares. Once this process is complete the Company will have sufficient common shares to convert existing note holders.

 

During fiscal 2014, the Company issued the following shares of common stock:

·3,750,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $75,000,
·5,000,000 shares of fully vested common stock for services which were valued at $35,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of commitment which has been charged to operations,
·5,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with a loan payable as described in Note 8, and
·40,000,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with the conversion of notes payable totaling $528,500. 

 

Warrants

 

During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 680,000 five-year warrants having an exercise price of $0.025 per share of common stock. Such warrants were issued in connection with an issuance of convertible notes amounting to approximately $130,000. The Company determined that the value associated with the granting of these warrants associated with such convertible note was approximately $3,000, all of which was amortized in fiscal 2013.

 

A summary of the status of the warrants for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

Options

 

On September 1, 2011, the Company granted 20,000,000 stock options to directors and officers of the Company, pursuant to the stock option plan established by the Company. One fourth of the options vested immediately, with one quarter vesting on each anniversary thereafter. The options are exercisable at $0.007 per share and have a ten-year contractual life. The grant date fair value of these options was determined to be $140,000 at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At June 30, 2014, the Company has recognized $17,500 in option expense and there is approximately $7,000 of unrecognized expense associated with the issuance of stock options which is expected to be recognized in fiscal 2015.

 

In February 2013, the Company issued 10,000,000 options to a third-party consultant for services to be rendered. There were no terms to the options and thus, it has been determined that the exercise price is the fair market value on the date of exercise and the options carry a ten (10) year contractual life. Half of the options vested upon commencement of the contract, and the other half vested at the anniversary date of the contract. The options are valued at each reporting date based on the guidance of ASC 505. The Company used the following range of inputs to the Black-Scholes option pricing model during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

  2014   2013  
Annual dividend yield    
Expected life (years) 4.5-5.0   5.25-5.5  
Risk-free interest rate 1.39-1.75 0.78-1.41 %
Expected volatility 337-340  % 339-341 %

 

Stock option expense related to these options was approximately $30,800 and $17,500 during the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Stock option expense for all stock options during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $48,300 and $208,000, respectively.

The Company's income taxes are as follows:

   2014   2013 
           
Expected income tax benefit at the combined statutory rate of 35%  $1,205,000   $1,603,000

U.S. effective rate in excess of Canadian tax rate   (73,000)   (79,000)
Valuation allowance   (1,103,000)   (966,000)
           
Benefit from income taxes  $   $

The components of deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

   June 30,
2014
   June 30,
2013
 
           
Net operating loss carry forwards  $3,303,000   $1,495,000 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   1,339,000    799,000 
Valuation allowance   (4,642,000)   (2,294,000)
           
Net  $   $ 

 

The components of net loss for fiscal 2014 and 2013 before income tax consisted of the following: 

 

   Year Ended June 30, 
Description  2014   2013 
         
U.S. Operations  $(2,708,000)  $(3,878,000)
Canadian Operations   (860,000)   (930,000)
Total net loss  $(3,568,000)  $(4,808,000)

 

The Company has net operating loss carry forwards available to be applied against future years' taxable income.  Due to the losses from operations and expected future operating results, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carry forward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments. Accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded for deferred tax assets and current income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $2,700,000 of Federal, provincial and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards available to offset future years’ taxable income. Such carry forwards expire between 2027 and 2033. Due to a change in ownership as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to share issuances exceeding 50%, these net operating losses will likely be limited to a nominal amount, annually. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company excluded NOLs prior to fiscal 2012 from its deferred tax assets. The Canadian NOL will be calculated using the Canadian tax rate of 26% compared to the U.S. tax rate of 36%.

 

The Company has not filed its United States Federal and State tax returns for the years ranging from June 30, 2011 - 2014. Management intends to comply with the requirements to file the tax returns upon raising capital. Failure to file the tax returns could result in penalties assessed against the Company. The Company has identified the United States as its "major" tax jurisdiction.  The United States Federal return years 2008 through 2011 are still subject to tax examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service; however, we do not currently have any ongoing tax examinations.

  

The Company is required to report compensation for its employees. During the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not pay advances to the two officers. The Company has not reported these advances as wages subject to withholding of Federal and state income taxes. The Company may be subject to taxes, penalties and interest if such advances are not properly reported in a timely manner.

Subsequent Events

 

On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to enter into a multi-year license agreement for the CAPSA platform with NYG. This license, which is expected to be entered into in October 2014, will grant latitude to the Company to make modifications and further enhancements to the platform, which will be marketed as the Universal Mobile Interface. From July 1, 2014 through October 14, 2014 the Company raised funding in the amount of $395,000 through officer advances.
