Spriza, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

  The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

  These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2014 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

  Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  Use of Estimates

  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

  Revenue Recognition

  Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 605-10 (previously Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition). We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured. The revenues are derived from the agreements with the businesses that utilize the online contest platform developed by the Company.

  Stock-based Compensation

  We account for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

8


 
  We account for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 and Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date.

  We calculate the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant. We estimate forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, we monitor both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns.

  The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

  Recent Pronouncements

  We continually assess any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to us. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects our financial reporting, we undertake a study to determine the consequence of the change to our financial statements and assure that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that our financial statements properly reflect the change.

  In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Going Concern

9


 
  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have begun operations but have not generated significant revenue to date. These conditions give rise to doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate profits and positive cash flow.

4. Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets

  On May 15, 2013 we contracted a San Francisco consulting firm with technology development capabilities in the Philippines to complete the redevelopment of our technology platform. On December 1, 2013 we completed SPRIZA™ and on March 18, 2014 unveiled it to the public with real-time contests being run. SPRIZA™ includes: subscriber portal, mobile device support, do-it-yourself platform and tools allowing us to develop a database of concurrent customers and users. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we spent $24,866 (June 30, 2014 - $59,486) on completion of this project and have allocated the cost to intellectual property.

5. Short-term Debt and Note Payable

  The Company received a short term non-interest bearing short-term loan from a related party of $25,000 in September of 2014 which was repaid in January 2015. The Company currently has no notes payable.

6. Common Stock

  During the first quarter of 2015 the Company issued 1,997,800 common shares for proceeds of $776,400 from a non-brokered private placement of 1,600,000 shares and exercise of warrants of 397,800 shares. Note: $175,000 of the $0.50 Units and $47,500 of the warrants were booked in the last quarter of 2014 and issued in the first quarter of 2015. No shares were issued during the second quarter of 2015.

7. Warrants

  As at June 30, 2015 we had 3,308,635 common share purchase warrants outstanding having an average exercise price of $0.30 per common share and having an average expiration date of 1.26 years.

8. Stock-based Compensation

  On October 29, 2013, we granted 4,550,000 stock options to directors, officers and employees to acquire 4,550,000 common shares at $0.15 per share having an option life of five years. A total of 25% vested on April 30, 2014, with a further 25% vesting on each of October 31, 2014, April 30, 2015 and October 31, 2015. On November 15, 2014, we granted 300,000 stock options to a consultant to acquire 300,000 common shares at $0.50 per share having an option life of one year. A total of 25% vested on February 15, 2015, with a further 25% vesting on each of May 31, 2015, August 15, 2015 and November 15, 2015. Stock options granted to non-employees are recognized based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the service period. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we recorded stock-based compensation of $88,535 (June 30, 2014 - $191,393).

  The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the period ended June 30, 2015 was $0.50.

  The fair value of stock options granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:

  Risk-Free Interest Rate: Based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the expected term of the options being valued.

  Dividend Yield: Based on the projection of future stock prices and dividends expected to be paid.

  Expected Term: Represents the period of time that stock options are expected to be outstanding based on historic exercise behavior.

  Expected Volatility: Due to our limited trading history, we do not have sufficient history to estimate the volatility of our common stock price for the expected life of the options. We calculate expected volatility based on reported data for similar publicly traded companies for which historical information is available and will continue to do so until the historical volatility of our common stock is sufficient to measure expected volatility for future option grants.

  The weighted average assumptions used for each of the period ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

    2015 2014
  Expected dividend yield 0% 0%
  Risk-free interest rate 0.09% 1.29%
  Expected volatility 54% 82%
  Expected option life (in years) 1.00 4.00

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

On September 17, 2012 we were incorporated as Level20 Inc. in the State of Nevada. On October 25, 2013 we changed our name to Spriza, Inc.

On October 17, 2012, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Raptify Marketing Systems Ltd. (“Raptify”), whereby we acquired certain assets from Raptify in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of our common stock, 3,000,000 shares of which were received by Raptify and 2,000,000 shares of which were received by certain other stakeholders of Raptify.

On August 3, 2015, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Iron Tank (see Note 10 of the Financial Statements) under which Iron Tank will if the transaction is consummated acquire all of our assets and we will receive 55 million common shares of Iron Tank, representing approximately 55% of their company at the time of the transaction.  As a result, if consummated, Iron Tank will become our partially owned subsidiary at that time.

12


 

In addition, our management will be integrated into the management of Iron Tank and Iron Tank will change its business and plan of operation to be consistent with our business plans.  There are several contingencies and conditions under this non-binding letter of intent and thus no assurance can be given that such transaction will ever be consummated as planned.   

Our principal executive offices are located at 111 Penn Street, El Segundo, CA 90245, and our telephone number at this address is (650) 204-7903. Our website is www.spriza.com. Information contained on our website is not a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We completed our initial public offering on June 12, 2013. On November 4, 2013, our common stock was quoted under the symbol “SPRZ” on the OTC BB operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

Our Business and Intellectual Property

We own and operate the patent-pending proprietary SPRIZA™ contest marketing platform. We filed the US Patents, filing No. 12753864 and submitted the Canadian filings, No. 2261/P1551CA00. We acquired these assets through an Asset Purchase Agreement and we currently hold patent pending status for both jurisdictions.

Trademarks pertaining to SPRIZA™ and its Star Icon logo as well as our tagline “Win, Laugh, Live” have been applied for in the United States and Canada. Currently all trademarks listed above are in a pending status.

Our intellectual property is a fully developed, commercially operational incentive contest marketing system and platform that builds brand awareness and generates qualified targeted leads for any size of business through a patent-pending online contest marketing solution trademarked as “SPRIZA™”. SPRIZA™ taps into the power of shared interests and personal relationships within targeted markets producing traceable and quantifiable results at every stage of the contest. It provides deep, real-time analytics and reporting, through robust tools that measure marketing and advertising budgets for real time return on investment analysis and demographic profiling. SPRIZA™ leverages social media strategies based on business objectives enabling our clients “Branders” to measure results of marketing efforts. The result is a network of subscribers that participate in contest promotions centered around their personal and shared interests. SPRIZA™ produces quantifiable and verifiable participant data results, which can be used for ongoing marketing purposes with targeted demographics. SPRIZA™ data results assess how many consumers responded, whom they shared the contest with, the level of engagement, how many other contest participants were influenced and sales value generated. SPRIZA™ is designed to work with most social media engines including Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest and offers full mobile capability to engage popular mobile applications including iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows mobile operating systems.

We seek patent protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us. Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products that may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party products that compete with our products and processes. In the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our products, processes, patents or licenses or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property and other contractual agreements for our business will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated.

Spriza.com – Contest Portal

Delivery and distribution to the consumer of all contest offerings will be based upon user profile by location, interests and other preferences. Our web site www.spriza.com aggregates all contests, while segmenting distribution based upon the means of client submission and their branding strategy to specifically determine which offerings are available nationally and regionally. Post marketing opportunities will occur within this platform to drive affiliate revenue and secondary sales.

Small/Medium Business Contest Creation Tool

We offer a low cost entry platform targeting small to mid-sized businesses wishing to promote themselves through self-directed contests on a local or regional level. This portal offers a comprehensive toolkit and tutorials to initiate, register and administer a fully-compliant contest or sweepstake, providing basic templates and customization options to uniquely brand their efforts and monitor their results using fundamental reporting tools. This option may not require or include any 3rd party intervention but does provide limited access to support and assistance through our administration team.

Advertising Agency Contest Creation Tool

Our enterprise solution is a backend system providing every available tool and customization option to those agencies and marketing firms wishing to offer our products to their corporate clients in a closed loop campaign as a standalone offering or as integration to existing programs and marketing efforts. This option is expected to provide full support and assistance to the agency behind the scenes. We anticipate that utilities and reporting tools will be comprehensive and customizable, allowing for white-labeling to their own client base. We expect that this solution will be best suited to major national brands rolling out a complete North American campaign.

International Licensing & Site Mirrors

For international expansion we anticipate that International Licensed Affiliates wishing to duplicate our offerings in foreign countries will have the opportunity to acquire exclusive licensing through our international release of mirror programs, enabling them to tailor a solution to their local market’s culture, currency, language and compliance to legal requirements. We have finalized our international licensing model and we are currently identifying licensees for international expansion in Asia, Europe and South America.

Sales and Marketing                

Our SPRIZA™ technology is designed to integrate seamlessly within existing social media platforms. We expect to grow our revenues through multiple streams including contest revenue, lead generation, ecommerce conversion and ongoing marketing initiatives.

Traditional marketing efforts to promote contests or corporate promotional giveaways have included direct mail, newspaper, radio, television and some have included online efforts but they have generally not successfully leveraged the viral nature of social media such as Facebook or Twitter. Our patent-pending solution rewards a company with a competition advantage based on its ability to drive viral distribution and participation towards sales and lead generation. There are other online contesting companies such as Strutta and WildfireApp that are more focused on driving interest to social pages. This brand engagement dies at the closing of that promotional offer and usually only incentivizes a limited amount of the participants.

Our patent-pending method of contest distribution uses incentive based, viral marketing where participants are rewarded for sharing the contest with like-minded family, friends and associates. Participants’ odds increase with the more people they invite as does their chances of sharing in that winning experience with that chain of winners. This incentive based marketing creates a new and proprietary way for brands to attract and identify customers, brand influencers and ambassadors to sell goods and services.

The contest subscriber website is www.spriza.com, where users will be able to create an account, set personal preferences, link to their social media profiles and consume, share and engage in branded contests throughout North America. This site has three main sections: open contests they are participating in, closed contests they previously participated in and current and available contests that can be searched or screen based on personal preferences. Within each section individuals will be served promotional materials, deals, and advertising relevant to that brand and personal preference. Each section will likely contain short videos on the brand experience, to explain what the brand experience offers if customers win and a video of the winners sharing and consuming the winning brand experience.

We intend to email our www.spriza.com subscribers contest offers that are targeted by location and personal preferences. Consumers can also access our contests directly through our website and mobile applications. We expect that new subscribers will be driven to Spriza™ through all digital advertising efforts such as paid, search, social, mobile, location, email and, where essential, traditional methods. All contests will initially be seeded throughout our database of subscribers but also promoted through our client’s social media assets and client lists thus driving up our total subscribers.

A typical contest might offer an all-inclusive weekend at a brand name hotel in Las Vegas and a set of brand name golf clubs. Contests would immediately be pushed out and shared by golf lovers and enthusiasts from one personal contact to another. The advantage of our SPRIZA™ platform is that each contestant in the winning referral chain is a winner and in this example goes on the trip and all share the experience together. We anticipate that this experience will be documented and distributed through social media to all the contestants that participated as a further means of advertising for our clients. We believe that seeing winning participants consume the incentive adds further validation and credibility to our SPRIZA™ platform and capabilities and allows our clients to further leverage their media assets. We plan to earn upfront fees from the brands for the campaign, online advertising fees and additional affiliate revenue by promoting “after-campaign” deals and incentives to this group throughout the year.

Regardless if we are running a contest for a national brand throughout North America or a local merchant within a single city, they all must strictly adhere to the rules, regulatory and compliance specified by the government and governing bodies in each jurisdiction. Age, eligibility, terms and conditions, bonding, insurance and many other finite details are part of our core competencies and our commitment when delivering campaigns to our clients. We anticipate SPRIZA™ evolving to include a campaign creation toolbox that allows for dynamic contest creation, where an agency, brand manager or our employee can map out a campaign quickly with proper terms conditions, contracts, approval sign off and a compliance checklist.

Competition

The digital and mobile technology business is highly fragmented and extremely competitive and subject to rapid change. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of new solutions and enhancements to existing businesses developed by us, our competitors, and their advisers. SPRIZA™ is an online contest platform that utilizes digital media and technology to distribute and feature local and national branded promotional campaigns. Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple digital brands and products and can easily shift consumption from one provider to another.

Our competitors are in segments such as the following:

  • Websites promoting deal of the day gift certificates;
  • Large social media networks with deep distribution; and
  • Innovative search websites with local and national advertisers.

Our SPRIZA™ contest platform is both promotional “Promotional Platform” and social “Social Platform”.

Our principal competitors, when comparing “Promotional Platforms” are: Wildfire by Google, Strutta, Prizelogic, HelloWorld (formerly ePrize), and Prizeo. Our SPRIZA™ contest platform differs, in most part, from these competitors by seamlessly integrating our promotion platform and the social experience into a channel that can provide both the brand/cause experience to drive engagement and link that activity directly to online and offline commerce. Through our SPRIZA™ platform, we build a referral network of like-minded consumers who actively participate with the brands they love and it allows us to retarget and entertain our subscribers based on their specific preferences and activity.

Our principal competitors, when comparing “Social Platforms” are: Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and Groupon. Our SPRIZA™ contest platform differs, in most part, from these competitors by not only building a large subscriber base but establishing a unique referral network that has the means to engage, reward, remarket and incentivize its user base to foster new connections and ongoing commerce activity. 

Our competitors are in segments such as the following:

  • Websites promoting deal of the day gift certificates;
  • Large social media networks with deep distribution; and
  • Innovative search websites with local and national advertisers.

In addition, new competitors may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost. In addition, either existing or new competitors may develop new technologies, and our existing and potential customers may shift their mass branding campaigns to these new technologies. Therefore, we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy in the face of such competition.

Business goals and milestones

We have completed or advanced, over the past few months, the following business goals and milestones:

•           We contracted a San Francisco consulting firm with development capabilities in the Philippines to develop SPRIZA™. We have completed this project and launched our site on March 18, 2014. This new version includes: contest portal, contest profiles, contest functionality, contest subscriber ability, subscriber portal, subscriber account setup and profiles, user functionality, and sharing capabilities data base architecture, with querying, reporting and analytics.

•           During the period ended June 30, 2015 we spent $17,048 on this project and have allocated the cost to intellectual property; we are continuing to work on: mobile device support, do-it-yourself platform and agency tools;

•           We have launched our corporate splash page in preparation of our corporate website which has been completed and the new corporate website is available to the public at www.spriza.com;

We have completed our SPRIZA™ rebranding project including media kit, sales and marketing packages and corporate peripherals. We also completed the following achievements during 2014 and the first quarter of 2015:

  • Developed an international licensing model;
  • Identified strategic partners in Asia, Europe and the United States;
  • Entered into a key agreement with Digital Marketing Philippines (www.digitalmarketingphilippines.com);
  • Entered into a key agreement with When in Manila (www.wheninmanila.com);
  • Hosted more than 8,209 aggregated contests;
  • Reached the figure 100 in the number of active contests SPRIZA™ is currently hosting;
  • Generated revenues, a significant milestone in the social media space;

In 2015 SPRIZA™ launched an Android mobile phone application to be followed by an iPhone app. Achieving this objective would further enhance the user experience giving direct access anytime, anywhere similar to Facebook, Twitter and other popular social media applications.  The new app will also increase effectiveness to communicate new information, updates and location based details when required.

The Company also launched launch a Do-it-Yourself (“DIY”) contest building and toolbox platform for small and medium sized businesses in February of 2015 and an Agency Media Kit.

The DIY contest toolbox is available through Spriza’s website (www.spriza.com) and through the business user’s private account toolbox. Clients are now able to upload, self-administer and activate contests within minutes through their own Spriza step-by-step business account.

The DIY contest platform will have three pricing tiers to allow for flexibility of budgets and ease of entry onto the platform. Each tier will give the client a robust option to build-out its contest marketing strategy depending on their budget and needs. The addition of the DIY platform will allow for greater access to Spriza’s marketing tools, capable of serving the diverse needs of several business verticals. This will allow greater ease of entry and flexibility for clients to market through Spriza; thus potentially expanding the number of paying clients in our database.

The DIY toolbox platform has an extensive analytics dashboard, providing the key metrics companies are looking for in their marketing campaigns. With mounting pressure on the overall ROI of any marketing initiative, more businesses are looking to marketing platforms that offer such detailed information.

Opening the Do-it-Yourself platform will have a positive effect on Spriza’s overall user’s statistics.  The more contests that are created through different business verticals the more users will filter into the Spriza database, which in turn creates revenue through upfront fees, affiliate revenue, lead generation, downloads and coupon conversion.

We are in the final stages of completing a North American wide marketing campaign which will focus on driving the participation of prospective Fortune 500 companies and large corporate sponsorship to the contest platform.

Business strategy

Secure Necessary Funds

As at August 10, 2015 we have approximately $260,000 in cash. We will require additional funds during the remainder of fiscal 2015 to continue to aggressively grow our business and execute our 2015 business plan and to make strategic acquisitions.

Drive client growth and revenue through contest campaigns

To drive client growth, we plan to expand the number of ways in which subscribers can discover contests through our marketplace. As revenue is recognized we plan to continue investments into our sales force and partnership networks to further client relationships and acquire local expertise. Retention will be focused on providing our clients with a positive campaign experience and offering targeted placement of their contest campaigns to our subscribers, tools to manage these campaigns more effectively and superior customer service. Current efforts are focused on developing a sponsorship campaign that is centered on the 18-25 year old demographic offering four year college tuitions as the contest incentive. We are also in negotiations with Fortune 500 companies to run online contests. The sponsorship fees associated with a contest driven advertising campaign of this size is estimated at $1.5 million with 70% of this amount to be campaign costs, and 30% would be our profit. Additionally, securing contracts directly with brands and established advertising agencies will be necessary to achieve desired growth. We are establishing the go-to-market strategy and digital marketing initiatives essential to engage with prospective clients to secure contracts and achieve this milestone.

Drive the growth of our subscriber base

We plan to invest significant effort to acquire subscribers through online marketing initiatives. Our goal will be to retain existing and acquire new subscribers by providing preference driven and targeted contests, quality subscriber service and expanding the number of contest offerings through both local and national brands. Activity has commenced on the development and release of our digital marketing strategy to encourage subscriber sign up and generate brand participation.

Expand affiliate and business development partnerships

We intend to establish an online reseller network of commissioned agents and strategic partners. We hope to sign partnership agreements with online companies such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook. These intended partners could display, promote and distribute our contests to their users in exchange for a share of the revenue generated from our campaigns. We currently have no such agreements or arrangements with Google, Microsoft, Yahoo or Facebook. We intend to maintain ongoing efforts to expand our business with strategic affiliates and business development partnerships.

Increase our product offering through innovation

We intend to develop new versions and product releases to increase the number of subscribers and clients that transact business through our SPRIZA™ online contest marketing platform. We believe our network of subscribers will be a focal point for companies to promote their brands and showcase all of their contests. Expansion from an online presence into all mobile, tablet and operating systems is an essential innovation for us. 

Establish our presence in the marketplace as the leading Online Contesting Platform

All efforts will be made to firmly establish us as the leader in the delivery, fulfillment and distribution of brand driven online contests to a subscriber base. In addition to the traditional and digital marketing efforts it is not uncommon for these efforts to be supported by viral sharing and word of mouth marketing that is prevalent with many online subscriber based communities. This behavior is often encouraged through referral or loyalty incentives.    

The discussion that follows is derived from our unaudited balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the unaudited statements of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Results of Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 we continued to produce contests as a proof of concept to showcase the platform’s design and functionality to interested advertising parties. Although we did not record any new revenues in the first quarter we increased our client pipeline and fully expect to engage in revenues for the balance of 2015. We generated $9,472 in revenues during the second quarter of 2015 and $nil in Q2 - 2014. The net loss for the six months of 2015 was $480,073 compared to a net loss of $711,133 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $231,060. This decrease was mostly incurred in savings related to professional fees and stock based compensation.

Other reductions were produced in Travel in the six month period in 2015 of $18,329 ($65,224 - 2014) and Branding and Marketing were reduced to $13,551 for the six month period compared to $46,026 for the same period in 2014. General And Administrative costs were higher at $46,838 compared to $31,717 as at June 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively and Consulting Fees were also higher at $203,750 for the first half of 2015 and $172,689 for the same period in 2014. We were also focused on proving our platform and received valuable user signups and data in the process. Contests that are produced by us through third agencies or brands were produced by us and prizes were sponsored and paid for by the participating vendors. 

During the first half of 2015 we also signed our first repeat client with a new contest initiated in April of 2015.

Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

The net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $267,809 compared to a net loss of $359,532 for Q2-2014 a decrease of $91,723. This decrease was mostly incurred in savings related to Regulatory Fees and lower General and Administrative fees.  

During Q2-2015 operating expenses consisted of: $44,367 (Q2-2014 - $77,841) of stock-based compensation due to the vesting of options granted and vesting in the applicable quarter under our 2013 Incentive Award Plan; $120,953 (Q2-2014 - $87,917) in consulting fees and salaries and $7,363 (Q2-2014 - $22,668) in branding and marketing; $7,253 (Q2-2014 - $5,730) in regulatory fees, $38,219 (Q2-2014 - $84,006) in professional fees including legal and accounting fees, $12,520 (Q2-2014 - $44,959) in travel and $19,832 (Q2-2014 - $15,737) in general and administrative expenses. We incurred $24,261 (Q2-2014 - $20,608) in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and added $17,048 in intangible assets (Q2-2014 - $11,717). We expect that our administrative and operating expenses will continue to increase as we further our business operations.

During 6 Months - 2015 financing activities provided $ 751,400 (6 Months - 2014 - $223,397) in cash consisting of:

  • $625,000 received pursuant to our $0.50 Unit non-brokered private placement for 1,600,000 shares; and
  • $151,400 from the exercise of 397,800 warrants at $0.50 per warrant share.
  • Note: $175,000 of the $0.50 Units and $47,500 of the warrants were booked in the last quarter of 2014 and issued in the first quarter of 2015.
  • Repayment of related party debt of $25,000.

Need for Additional Capital

Although we do have approximately $327,700 in cash in hand at June 30, 2015 we expect that we will require $1,000,000 of additional funds during the remainder of fiscal 2015 to continue to aggressively grow our business and execute our 2015 business plan and to make strategic acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We do not believe that any accounting policies applicable to our company currently fit this definition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Rob Danard who is our chief executive officer and Chris Robbins, who is our chief financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2015. Based on that evaluation our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting.  Additionally we plan to continually adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements

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

As of June 30, 2015 we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework.  Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.

Based upon this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls: Our Board of Directors and management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Controls, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls are met. Further, we believe that the design of prudent controls must reflect appropriate resource constraints, such that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls, there can be no absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, applicable to us have been or will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some individuals, by collusion of more than one person, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
