Operations
Our company offers online brokerage services in financial instruments using our Forex trading platform. Forex's targeted customer base for brokerage services includes active individual, professional and institutional traders. Customers are entitled to open accounts directly with Triple 8 subsidiaries or affiliate through our web site. We also provide a `demo' trading system and an e-learning center that may be accessed by registering on the website. We intendalso seek to develop, markets and operatesdeploy our resources to achieve a software system delivering foreign exchangereasonable financial return. Before closing the Annulment during 2011, our company, through our partial ownership interest in our affiliates, offered online brokerage services to the public through the Internet. We will offer an electronicin financial instruments using our Forex trading platform which seamlessly integrates strategy trading tools, historical and streaming real-time market data, and direct-access order-routing and execution. We allow ou r clients to be directly, through Triple 8 subsidiaries or their affiliates, connected to market prices. Under the method, clients are able to trade at market prices with the addition of a predefined and fixed commission. We believe this allows clients to be directly connected to very competitive market prices.non-US based customers.
To date, the Company has two websites: the corporate website, www.forex-international-trading.com, and the trading platform, (under the affiliate licensing agreement) www.4xint.com. Both websites are currently under construction, examination and constant development so modifications may apply. The Company has blocked the ability of potential subscribers in the United States and Canada from engaging in any transactions. This restriction will be lifted once the Company has obtained the required licenses.licenses, if any.
Forex's targeted customer base (on a white label basis for Triple 8) for brokerage services includes active individual, professional and institutional traders. The entirety of the Company’s customer through Triple 8 subsidiaries or affiliate base existsis outside of the United States and/orand Canada. In connection with the LOI entered with Forex NYC (as discussed below), the Company incorporated the offerings provided by Forex NYC under www.forexnewyorkcity.com into our web site. Although this is not generating revenue, we believe it is a beneficial added feature for our clients.
Competition
The market for online forex brokerage services is intensely competitive and is rapidly evolving, and there appears to be substantial consolidation in the industry of online forex brokerage services, Internet-based real-time market data services, and trading analysis software tools. We believe that, due to the current and anticipated rapid growth of the market for integrated trading tools, real-time market data and online brokerage services, competition, as well as consolidation, will substantially increase and intensify in the future. We believe our ability to compete will depend upon many factors both within and outside our control, including, but not limited to,:to: pricing; the timing and market acceptance of new products and services and enhancements developed by us and our competitors; technological developments; product content; our ab ilityability to design and support efficient, materially error-free Internet-based systems; market conditions, such as volatility in currency fluctuations, stock prices, inflation and recession; product and service functionality; data availability; ease of use; reliability; customer service and support; and sales and marketing efforts.
We will face direct competition from several publicly-traded and privately-held companies, including principally online brokerage firms, includingand providers of direct-access order execution services. Our competitors will include many foreign exchange online brokerage firms currently active in the United States and Europe. Many online brokerage firms currently offer direct-access service.
Many of our existing and potential competitors, which willmay include online discount and traditional brokerage firms, and financial institutions that are focusing more closely on online services, including direct-access services for active traders, have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed customer base than we will. Furthermore, there is the risk that larger financial institutions which offer online brokerage services as only one of many financial services may decide to use extremely low pricing rates in the foreign currency market to acquire and accumulate customer accounts and assets to derive interest income and income from their other financial services. WeThough we do not plan to offer other financial services; therefore, such pricing techniques, should they become common in our industry, could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business model.
Generally, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services than we will. There can be no assurance that our potential competitors will not develop products and services comparable or superior to those that will be developed and offered by us or adapt more quickly than us to new technologies, evolving industry trends or changing customer requirements, or that we will be able to timely and adequately complete the implementation, and appropriately maintain and enhance the operation, of our business model. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins, failure to obtain any significant market share, or loss of market share, any of which could mater iallymaterially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, or that competitive pressures faced by us will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Government Regulation
Our proposed business and industry are highly regulated. In the United States (where the Company presentlycurrently does not operate), regulatory bodies are charged with safeguarding the integrity of the forex and other financial markets and with protecting the interest of customers participating in those markets. In recent years, the financial services industry in the United States has been subject to increasing regulatory oversight. The regulatory bodies that regulate our business and industry in the United States have proposed and may consider additional legislative and regulatory initiatives and may adopt new or revised regulations that may affect the way in which we conduct our business. Prior to commencing operations in the United States, we will be required to register as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and Forex Dealer Me rchantMerchant (FDM) and/or Introducing Broker (IB) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and as a member of the National Futures Association, which serves as its designated self regulatory examining authority. The Company initially registered through its former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) as an Introducing Broker. In order to be accepted as an Introducing Broker, the Company’s CEO filed an application with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and paid a minimalnominal fee. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission evaluated the application and determined that the Company’s CEO is eligible. Prior to obtaining the required registrations in the United States or other applicable jurisdiction, we will block any traffic from the United States and will not allow any trading by US citizens. Upon being accepted as an Introductory Broker, we will be required to comply with various ongoing compliance issues including maintain ingmaintaining and having available for inspection books and records that support and explain all aspects of our commodity futures business. These records must be maintained in an orderly fashion at our main business. All required books and records must be kept for five years and readily accessible for the most recent two years. Additionally, we will have continuing responsibility to have the necessary policies and procedures in place to diligently supervise our employees and agents. We expect that we will be audited at various times to ensure that we are complyingmaintaining our compliance with the foregoing.
Upon commencing operations in the United States, if at all, we also will be regulated by governmental bodies and/or self-regulatory organizations in jurisdictions outside of the United States in which we operate. For example, assuming that we operate in each of these jurisdictions, of which there is no guarantee, we will be regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom, the Monetary Authority of Singapore in Singapore, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in Australia and the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong, assuming we operate in these jurisdictions. We have not commenced the process to register in any of these countries. Many of the regulations we will be governed by are intended to protect the public, our customers and the integrity of the markets. These regulators and self-regulatory organizations regulate the conduct of our business in many ways and conduct regular examinations to monitor our compliance with these regulations. Among other things, we will be subject to laws, rules and regulations that cover all aspects of the Forex business, including:
• sales methods;
• trading practices;
• capital structure;
• Anti-moneyanti-money laundering;
• record-keeping; and
• conduct of directors, officers and employees.
8
For trading by customers in jurisdictions outside the United States, we intend to conduct a regulatory review of our trading operations in all jurisdictions we deem material to ensure compliance with local laws.
Registered FCMs and FDMs traditionally have been subject to a variety of rules that require that they know their customers and monitor their customers’ transactions for suspicious financial activities. With the passage of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the Patriot Act, FCMs, FDMs and IBs are now subject to even more stringent requirements. As required by the Patriot Act, prior to commencing operations in the United States, we will establish comprehensive anti-money laundering and customer identification procedures, designated an anti-money laundering compliance officer, train our employees and conducted an independent audit of our program. Our customer identification procedures will include both a documentary and a non- documentary review and analysis of the potential customer. Our documentary review requires the collection and confirmation of multiple forms of identification and other documentary evidence from each prospective customer in order to validate such prospective customer’s identity.
FXIT's mode of operation and profitability may be directly affected by:
| · | additional legislation; |
| · | changes in rules promulgated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the National Futures Association, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the FSA, the various stock and futures exchanges and other self-regulatory organizations; and |
| · | changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing rules and laws, particularly any changes focused on online brokerage firms that target an active trader customer base. |
Governmental concern is focused in two basic areas: that the customer has sufficient trading experience and has sufficient risk capital to engage in active trading. The Company will require customers to maintain a $500 opening balance to open an account. We believe the Company's minimum suitability requirements, as well as the extensive user education documentation and tutorials offered on its Web site, are consistent with the rules and regulations concerning active trading.
It is possible that other agencies will attempt to regulate our planned domestic online and other electronic service activities with rules that may include compliance requirements relating to record keeping, data processing, other operation methods, privacy, pricing, content and quality of goods and services as the market for online commerce evolves. Because of the growth in the electronic commerce market, Congress had held hearings on whether to regulate providers of services and transactions in the electronic commerce market. As a result, federal or state authorities could enact laws, rules or regulations, not only with respect to online brokerage services, but other online services we provide or may in the future provide. Such laws, rules and regulations, if and when enacted, could have a material adverse effect on our business, fin ancialfinancial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, since our company's activities and customer base are international, regulatory developments in other countries, including those of which we are unaware, could have an effect on our company and its operations.
As of July 31, 2010, the Company has seven employees, five officers and directors and two other employees. Moshe J. Schnapp,November 15, 2011: Darren Dunckel, William Glass, Anita Atias and Stewart Reich compriseand Liat Franco comprised the officers and directors of the Company. Additionally,Following the resignation of Mr. Dunckel, Mr. William Glass and Mr. Stewart Reich on November 15, 2011, Mrs. Franco was the only officer of the Company through year end December 2011. As of the date of this filing, the Company has two other employees. Messers Schnappofficers: Mrs. Franco (our CEO, President and Dunckel are active officers of the company.Director) and Mr. Erik Klinger (our CFO and Director).
As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item 1A. Risk Factors. Despite the fact that we are not being a requirementrequired to provide risk factors, we consider the following factors to be risks to our continued growth and development:
9
We will be required to raise additional capital in order to implement significantany growth plans.
Our working capital is positive and will allow conducting our business in the next twelveeight months. In order to achieve substantialincrease our minimal presence in the markets we will have to borrow funds from Moshe J. Schnapp’s contacts, an executive officer of our company, and unrelated third parties, and the receipt of proceeds from the sale of our product range.range of which there is no guarantee. If adequate funds are not available, we may not be able to fund our expansion, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance products or services, respond to competitive pressures or maintain our public filings. Such inability could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may need and be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.
Unforeseeable circumstances may occur which could compel us to seek additional funds..funds. Furthermore, future events, including the problems, delays, expenses and other difficulties frequently encountered by start-up companies may lead to cost increases that could make the net proceeds of this offering insufficient to fund our proposed business plan. Thus, the proceeds of the offering may be insufficient to accomplish our objectives and we may have to borrow or otherwise raise additional funds to accomplish such objectives. We may seek additional sources of capital, including an additional offering of our equity securities, an offering of debt securities or obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. This may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us. Our inability to raise additional e quityequity capital or borrow funds required to affect our business plan, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects. Additionally, to the extent that further funding ultimately proves to be available, both debt and equity financing involve risks. Debt financing may require us to pay significant amounts of interest and principal payments, reducing the resources available to us to expand our existing businesses. Some types of equity financing may be highly dilative to our stockholders' interest in our assets and earnings. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility.
We will have inadequate capital to pay significant additional expenses we expect to incur as a public company and, as a result, we will be required to raise additional capital further diluting investors that participateparticipated in this offering.prior offerings.
We are a reporting company subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In order to comply with such reporting requirements, we will incur additional administrative expenses including substantial legal and accounting expenses. We expect such fees to be approximately $50,000 per year. As a result, we will be required to raise additional debt or equity financing, of which there is no guarantee that such financing will be available or available on acceptable terms. To date, Rasel Ltd.,On January 5, 2011, the Company closed a shareholderprivate placement memorandum and issued 3,655,635 restricted shares to accredited investors at an aggregate purchase price of $548,345 and is due net proceeds of approximately $1,000,000 in connection with the company, has loaned the company $125,000 ($128,452 including interest accrued to year end).annulment. If we are required to raise additional funds or do not deploy our capital in the appropriate manner and if we raise such proceeds in the form of equity, our shareholders will be further diluted.
Our success will be dependent on attracting key and other personnel, particularly in the areas of management, technical services and customer support.
We believe that our success will depend on the continued employmentefforts of Moshe J. Schnapp, an executive, officer director and employee,management for the development of our platform.platform and to pursue financial transactions to earn a return on capital. Such experience will be important to the establishment of our business. The loss of Moshe J. Schnapp during this early development stage could disrupt and negatively affect our business and operations. Our success also depends on having highly trained technical and customer support personnel.
We may have difficulty attracting and employing members to our senior management team and sufficient technical and customer support personnel to keep up with our growth needs. This shortage could limit our ability to increase sales and to sell services. Competition for personnel is intense. If we cannot hire suitable personnel to meet our growth needs, our business and operations will be negatively affected.
Our success will be dependent upon our receipt and maintenance of regulatory approvals in the major customer markets around the world.
We believe that our success, in large part, depends upon our ability to receive and retainobtain regulatory approval in the major markets around the world. For example, if we are to market our services in the United States, we will be required to obtain the approval of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission and the National Futures Association. Until we obtain the required registrations from each jurisdiction, we will not be able to generate customers or revenue in such jurisdiction. As a result, if we do not obtain the required registrations, we will not be able to generate revenues and we will not be able to implement our operations in any meaningful way.
Many of the regulations we will be governed by are intended to protect the public, our customers and the integrity of the markets. If we are successful in registering in any jurisdiction, these regulators and self-regulatory organizations regulate the conduct of our business in many ways and conduct regular examinations to monitor our compliance with these regulations. Among other things, we will be subject to laws, rules and regulations that cover all aspects of the Forex business, including:
10
• sales methods;
• trading practices;
• use and safekeeping of customers’ funds and securities;
• capital structure;
• anti-money laundering;
• record-keeping; and
• conduct of directors, officers and employees.
If the regulators determine that we breached or violated any rule, law or regulation, we may be subject to sanctions, fines or revocation of our registration in such jurisdiction, which will have a negative impact on our operations and may require that we cease operations assuming that we have developed operations.
Fluctuations in our quarterly results may adversely affect our stock price.
Our quarterly operating results will likely vary. Our operating results will likely fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors in some future quarter or quarters. Our failure to meet these expectations would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our quarterly operating results may vary depending on a number of factors, including:
| · | Unexpected cost in developing our software to be utilized in our platform; |
| · | demand of buyers and sellers to use and transact business on our platform; |
| · | actions taken by our competitors, including new product introductions, fee schedules, pricing policies and enhancements; |
| · | cash flow problems that may occur; |
| · | the quality and success of, and potential continuous changes in, sales or marketing strategies assuming that we successfully develop our platform; |
| · | the timing, completion, cost and effect of our development and launch of a planned Forex trading platform; |
| · | the size and frequency of any trading errors for which we ultimately suffer the economic burden, in whole or in part; |
| · | changes in demand for our products and services due to the rapid pace in which new technology is offered to customers in our industry; |
| costs or adverse financial consequences that may occur with respect to regulatory compliance or other regulatory issues, particularly relating to laws, rules or regulations that may be enacted with a focus on the active trader market; and |
| · | general economic and market factors that affect active trading, including changes in the securities and financial markets. |
Our industry is intensely competitive, which will make it difficult to attract and retain customers.
The markets for online forex brokerage services and Internet-based trading tools, and real-time market data services is intensely competitive and rapidly evolving, and there has been substantial consolidation of those three products and services occurring in the industry. We believe that competition from large online brokerage firms and smaller brokerage firms focused on active traders, as well as consolidation, will substantially increase and intensify in the future. Competition may be further intensified by the size of the active trader market. We believe our ability to compete will depend upon many factors both within and outside our control. These include: price pressure; the timing and market acceptance of new products and services and enhancements developed by us and our competitors; the development and support of effi cient,efficient, materially error-free Internet-based systems; product and service functionality; data availability and cost; clearing costs; ease of use; reliability; customer service and support; and sales and marketing decisions and efforts.
There is no guarantee that we will adequately be able to protect our properties and software licenses which may have a negative impact on our operations.
While we will seek to protect our technology that we will develop, it will not be possible for us to detect all possible infringements of our software, text, designs and other works of authorship. Also, copyright protection does not extend to functional features of software and will not be effective to prevent third parties from duplicating any of our future-developed software's capabilities through engineering research and development. In addition, our technology and intellectual property may receive limited or no protection in some countries, and the global nature of the Internet makes it impossible to control the ultimate destination of our work.
If our future-developed software is found to infringe on the copyrights or patents of a third party, the third party or a court or other administrative body could require us to pay royalties for past use and for continued use, or to modify or replace the software to avoid infringement. We cannot assure you that we would be able to modify or replace this software.
Any of these claims, with or without merit, could subject us to costly litigation, divert our technical and management personnel and materially and adversely affect our business and operations.
The nature of our business may result in potential liability to customers which would have a negative impact upon our results of operations.
Many aspects of the forex brokerage business, including online trading services, involve substantial risks of liability. In recent years there has been an increasing incidence of litigation involving the securities brokerage industry, including class action and other suits that generally seek substantial damages, including in some cases punitive damages. In particular, our future proprietary order routing technology will be designed to automatically locate, with immediacy, the best available price in completing execution of a trade triggered by programmed market entry and exit rules. There are risks that the electronic communications and other systems upon which these products and services rely, and will continue to rely, or our products and services themselves, as a result of flaws or other imperfections in their designs or performanc e,performance, may operate too slowly, fail or cause confusion or uncertainty to the user. Major failures of this kind may affect all customers who are online simultaneously. Any such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We may not be able to make future acquisitions and new strategic alliances, and, even if we do, such acquisitions and alliances may disrupt or otherwise negatively affect our business.
Our business plan contemplates that we may make acquisitions in complementary companies, technologies and assets. Future acquisitions are subject to the following risks:
| · | we may not be able to agree on the terms of the acquisition or alliance, such as the amount or price of our acquired interest; |
| · | acquisitions and alliances may cause a disruption in our ongoing business, distract a relatively new management team and make it difficult to implement or maintain our systems, controls and procedures; |
| · | we may acquire companies or make strategic alliances in markets in which we have little experience; |
| · | we may not be able successfully to integrate the services, products and personnel of any acquisition or new alliance into our operations; |
| · | we may be required to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for acquisitions, which may be dilutive to existing shareholders, or we may not be able to finance the acquisitions at all; and |
| · | our acquisitions and strategic alliances may not be successful, and we may lose our entire investment. |
12
In addition, we will face competition from other parties, including large public and private companies, venture capital firms, and other companies, in our search for suitable acquisitions and alliances. Many of the companies we will compete with for acquisitions have substantially greater name recognition and financial resources than we have, which may limit our opportunity to acquire interests in new companies, technologies and assets or create strategic alliances. Even if we are able to find suitable acquisition candidates or develop acceptable strategic alliances, doing so may require more time and expense than we expect because of intense competition.
The international nature of our business will add additional complexity and risks to our business.
The nature of the foreign currency business will bring us into contact with different countries and markets. We hope to continue to expand further in international markets. Our international business may be subject to a variety of risks, including:
• market risk or loss of uncovered transactions;
• governmental regulation and political instability;
• collecting international accounts receivable and income;
• the imposition of barriers to trade and taxes; and
• difficulties associated with enforcing contractual obligations and intellectual property rights.
These factors may have a negative effect on any future international operations and may adversely affect our business and operations. We may not be able to compete effectively with other providers of e-commerce services.
Concerns regarding security of transactions and transmitting confidential information over the Internet may adversely affect our business.
We believe that concern regarding the security of confidential information transmitted over the Internet, including, for example, business requirements, credit card numbers and other forms of payment methods, prevents many potential customers from engaging in online trading. If we do not add sufficient security features to future product releases, our services may not gain market acceptance or we may face additional legal exposure.
Despite the measures we plan to take in the areas of encryption and password or other authentication software devices, our future infrastructure, like others, will be potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, hackers or similar problems caused by employees, customers or other Internet users. If a person circumvents our security measures, that person could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. Security breaches that result in access to confidential information could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or liability. These risks may require us to make significant investments and efforts to protect against or remedy security breaches, which would increase the costs of maintaining our websites.
Our e-commerce capability depends on real-time accurate product information.
We may be responsible for loading information into our database and categorizing the information for trading purposes. This process entails a number of risks, including dependence on our suppliers both to provide us in a timely manner with accurate, complete and current information and to update this information promptly when it changes. If our suppliers do not provide us in a timely manner with accurate, complete and current information, our database may be less useful to our customers and users and may expose us to liability. We cannot guarantee that the information available in our database will always be accurate, complete and current or comply with governmental regulations either due to third-party or internal errors. This could expose us to liability or result in decreased acceptance of our products and services, which could have a material and adverse affect on our business and operations. We are aware of cases in which the data provided to us by third parties has not been consistently accurate and, as a result of which, we have experienced customer dissatisfaction and lawsuits by customers. In addition, our contracts with the third-party data suppliers must be renewed on a regular basis and the costs for such information may increase, with our company having little or no negotiating influence in such a situation.
13
Our market is characterized by rapid technological change, and we may not be able to keep up with such change in a cost-effective way.
Our market is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product announcements. Significant technological changes could render eventually our future-developed technology obsolete. If we are unable to respond successfully to these developments or do not respond in a cost-effective way, our business and operations will suffer. To be successful, we must adapt to our rapidly changing market by continually improving the responsiveness, services and features of our products and services, by developing or acquiring new features to meet customer needs and by successfully developing and introducing new versions of our Internet-based e-commerce business software on a timely basis. The life cycles of the software that will be used to support our e-commerce services are difficult to predict because the market for our e-commerce w illwill be new and emerging and will be characterized by changing customer needs and industry standards. The introduction of on-line products employing new technologies and industry standards could render our future-developed system obsolete and unmarketable. If a new software language becomes the industry standard, we may need to rewrite our future-developed software to remain competitive, which we may not successfully accomplish in a timely and cost-effective manner.
In addition, as traffic to our platform increases, if at all, we may need to expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and network hardware and software. We may not be able to project accurately the rate of growth in our on-line businesses. We also may not be able to expand and upgrade our systems and network hardware and software capabilities to accommodate increased use of our on-line businesses, which would have a material and adverse affect on our business and operations.
An unexpected event, such as a power or telecommunications failure, fire or flood, or physical or electronic break-in at any of our facilities or those of any third parties on which we rely, could cause a loss of critical data and prevent us from offering services. If our hosting and information technology services were interrupted, including from failure of other parties' software that we integrate into our technology, our business and the businesses of our marketplaces using these services would be disrupted, which could result in decreased revenues, lost customers and impaired business reputation for us and them. As a result, we could experience greater difficulty attracting new customers. A failure by us or any third parties on which we rely to provide these services satisfactorily would impair our ability to support the operations of our services and could subject us to legal claims.
In addition, to a large extent, our company's profits will be dependent upon the operation of its internal risk management system. There is no guarantee that such system will operate successfully in every eventuality.
Anti-takeover provisions and our right to issue preferred stock could make a third party acquisition of us difficult.
Forex is a Nevada corporation. Anti-takeover provisions of Nevada law maytend to make it difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may issue preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control. Preventing a change of control could adversely affect the market price of Forex common stock and the voting and other rights of holders of Forex common stock.
Our common stock price is likely to be highly volatile.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile, as the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has been highly volatile. Our shareholders may not be able to resell their shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to this volatility. Factors that could cause this volatility may include, among other things:
• announcements of technological innovations and the creation and failure of B2B marketplaces;
• actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
• new sales formats or new products or services;
• changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
• conditions or trends in the Internet, B2B and other industries;
• changes in the market valuations of other Internet companies;
• announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
14
• changes in capital commitments;
• additions or departures of key personnel;
• sales of our common stock; and
• general market conditions.
Many of these factors are beyond our control.

General Overview
On July 1,April 19, 2010, the Company entered into a LetterSoftware Licensing Agreement with Triple 8 Limited (“Triple 8”) which is a currency trading platform organized under the laws of IntentCyprus. The agreement dated April 12, 2010 whereby the Company licensed Triple 8’s proprietary trading software (the “LOI”“Software”) for the purpose of developing a Forex Trading Platform and introducing prospective clients (“End Users”). Triple 8 created a website for the Company under the domain www.4xint.com which is blocked for US and Canadian clients. The Company maintains a corporate website under the domain www.forex-international-trading.com.
Triple 8 Acquisitions and Divestiture
On November 17, 2010,we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the transaction was effectively closed on December 30, 2010) to acquire 17,924 common shares, representing 44.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Triple 8 Limited (“Triple 8”) from A.P. Holdings Limited (“APH”) (the “APH Agreement”). In consideration for its purchase, Forex issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock and a Note Payable (the “APH Note”) in the principal amount of $1,200,000, bearing interest at an annual rate of 6% and was convertible into 6 million shares of common stock. The APH Note was originally due on February 15, 2011. Concurrently, certain shareholders of Forex agreed to surrender 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation to avoid diluting the ownership of other existing shareholders.
Following the purchase of Triple 8 shares from APH, we entered into another Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 1,996 common shares, or 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Triple 8, from the H.A.M. Group Limited (“HAM”). As a result, our ownership of Triple 8 increased to 49.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares. As consideration for its purchase, Forex issued HAM 12,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and a 6% Convertible Debenture for $600,000, due June 30, 2011 (the “HAM Note”). The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, thus representing 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
Forex defaulted on both its note payable to APH and on its obligation under the HAM Note. In order to avoid costly litigation and the potential detrimental impact of a judgment to the Company, Forex entered into an agreement to annul its purchases of Triple 8 stock. As a part of the Annulment:
| · | Triple 8 has agreed to pay Forex $2,001,000 (the “Triple Payments”) over time through November 2012. If Triple 8 fails to make any of the payments for a period of 60 days, it must transfer the original number of its common shares (17,924) purchased back to the Company. In addition, Triple 8 is not entitled to have any previous payments returned. |
19
| · | Forex issued a new $1,000,000 promissory note (the "CDOO Note") to an assignee of HAM and APH as consideration for the termination of the APH Note and the HAM Note which were both in default. The assignee has the ability to foreclose on all shares of Triple 8 held by the Company. The CDOO note bears interest at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) and is due and payable in full on November 30, 2012. In the event that Triple 8 fails to make the Triple Payments, then the amount payable under the CDOO Note is to be reduced by half of the amount of any missed payment. |
| · | APH and HAM have agreed to return all of their stock holdings to the Company for cancellation. |
The Annulment closed on December 7, 2011, and Forex received its initial Triple Payment of $732,000 in cash at that time. Subsequently, the Company has received Triple payments of $73,214, $68,214 and $78,214 for the months of January, February and March 2012,
Forex initially accounted for its acquisition of Triple 8 using the acquisition method as prescribed by GAAP. Under the acquisition method, the acquirer must recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Although the Company acquired less than 50% of the ownership of Triple 8, the use of the acquisition method and the accounting treatment of Triple 8 was considered appropriate because Forex believed that it had both significant influence over the operations of Triple 8 as well as equity investment risk as the Triple 8’s primary beneficiary. The basis behind the determination that Forex had acquired control of Triple 8 even though it owned a minority stake in Triple 8, was that an employee of the Company became the sole member of the Board of Triple 8’s operating subsidiary and continued to be in that role until late June 2011. In addition, Forex believed that Triple 8 was subject to consolidation under GAAP as a Variable Interest Entity.
However in June 2011, Triple 8’s operating subsidiary’s management unilaterally removed our Company’s employee from its Board and asserted its control over business operations. Since then, the Company has reevaluated its determinations that it had acquired control of Triple 8 and that Triple 8 was subject to consolidation as Variable Interest Entity. As a result, management has concluded that it never really had control and that the use of the acquisition method of accounting was not appropriate. Upon reconsideration, management also concluded that Triple 8 was not subject to consolidation as a Variable Interest Entity essentially because the Company had no equity investment at risk. In coming to these conclusions, Forex considered the following:
| 1. | The fair value of the consideration paid in both of the Share Exchange Agreements is questionable. The original consideration included the Company’s stock and notes payable. Given that the fair value of the Company’s stock and the fair value of Triple 8 was difficult to determine and that the Company never made any cash payments for its obligations under the notes payable, there is a legitimate argument that no consideration was paid for the Triple 8 stock received under the Share Exchange Agreements. |
| a. | With respect to exchange value of the Company’s stock, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements the Company’s stock was not trading. [Since then, the Company’s stock has been a thinly traded penny stock that has had a high level of price volatility with respect to what stock has been traded and has not been rated by any analysts.] |
| b. | With respect to value in use of the would-be acquiree, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements Triple 8 was a newly formed entity in business for only 2 years. Under the circumstances, any valuation of Triple 8 would be highly subjective. A market or cost approach to valuing Triple 8 was not feasible and an income approach requires highly subjective estimates about future operations, profits, and cash flows. |
| c. | The Company’s failure to make debt payments and the continuing revisions indicate that the Company’s Notes Payable were of little value to Triple 8’s sellers. |
| 2. | The unilateral removal of the Company’s employee from the Triple 8 Board and Triple 8’s operating subsidiary management assertion of its control over business operations indicates the Company’s inability to control Triple 8. |
These considerations have led the Company to conclude that the purchase of Triple 8 involved no consideration. Furthermore, the Share Exchange Agreement transactions do not meet the conditions necessary to qualify as a business combination achieved without the transfer of consideration under GAAP.
The Company has also considered the use of the equity method and the cost method of accounting in connection with Forex New York City LLC (“Forex NYC”) pursuant tothe Share Exchange Agreement transactions for the purchase of Triple 8. Generally, GAAP requires that investments in common stock or in entities over which the investor can exercise significant influence, but not control, be accounted for using the equity method. Otherwise, an investment should be accounted for at cost. In addition, the Company agreedbelieves that its investment in Triple 8 should be accounted for at cost during the period from the closing of the APH Agreement through to purchasethe date of the annulment agreement. While the Company did not have significant influence over Triple 8 during that period, the counterparties to the annulment agreement acknowledged the Company’s investment by entering into the annulment agreement. Therefore, these financial statements have been restated to present the investment in Triple 8 on a 10% interest in Forex NYC in considerationcost basis, as cost being determined by the market value of a convertible debenturethe Company’s stock paid and the stated value of the note payable issued under the APH Agreement. The gain on settlement of Triple 8 is accounted for as other income in the amount2011 statement of $200,000.operations.
Forex NYC & Wheatley Acquisitions and Divestitures:
On December 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Forex NYC pursuant to which the Company acquired twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding equity of FNYC Interest on a fully diluted basis. In consideration for the FNYC Interest, the Company issued and sold to Forex NYC 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On February 23, 2011, the Company entered into additional Securities Purchase Agreement with Forex NYC, pursuant to which the Company acquired additional thirty percent (30%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest of FNYC Interest on a fully diluted basis. In consideration for the additional FNYC Interest, the Company will issue and sold to Forex NYC 675,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

In consideration for the Wheatley Interest, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Wheatley 1,125,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Wheatley is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York with headquarters located at One Grand Central Place. On December 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with affiliated corporation to Wheatley (“Forex NYC”) pursuant to which the Company acquired twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding equity of Forex NYC (the “FNYC Interest”) on a fully diluted basis. In consideration for the FNYC Interest, the Company issued and sold to Forex NYC 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On February 23, 2011, the Company entered into additional Securities Purchase Agreement with Forex NYC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire an additional thirty percent (30%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Forex NYC (the “FNYC Interest”) on a fully diluted basis. In consideration for the additional FNYC Interest, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Forex NYC 675,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Due to the failures of Wheatley and Forex NYC to deliver the required conditions under the agreement and especially failure to provide audited financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, it is the Company’s position that the agreements entered February 23, 2011 are void and, as a result, the closings of such interest in Wheatley and Forex NYC did not occur. On or about May 4, 2011, Mr. Michael Weissman notified the Company on potential defaults associated with the agreements the Company entered with Wheatley and/or Forex NYC. The Company’s position is that Mr. Weissman, Forex NYC and Wheatley are in default with the agreements it entered with the Company. On May 9, 2011, Mr. Weissman resigned as vice president from the Company effective immediately. On July 2011, the Company and the Forex NYC and Wheatley parties unwound the above transactions. Forex NYC returned their 1,000,000 shares to the Company for cancellation. Due to the fact that the Company knew that there the shares would be surrendered, the shares have been treated as returned to Treasury Stock at June 30, 2011.
As part of finalizing the Wheatley and Forex NYC acquisitions, on February 24, 2011 the Company entered into a consulting agreement for M&A activities with Cross Point Capital Advisors (“Cross Point”). The Company agreed to pay Cross Point a consulting fee of $150,000 in cash plus retainer of $9,500 per month for the next 18 months commencing on April 1, 2011 for bringing the Company M&A-related opportunities, and for structuring and advising the Company on those opportunities, pending the closing of the Wheatley and FOREX NYC transactions. Due to the fact that the Wheatley and FOREX NYC transactions did not close, the Company has not commenced paying the agreed-upon monthly fees to Cross Point. The Company paid the $150,000 fee.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts and classification of revenues and expenses during the periods presented, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these estimates or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are entitiesrecorded on the period in which equity investors dothey become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial supportreadily apparent from other parties.

The notes to our consolidated financial statements contain additional information related to our accounting policies and serving as our agent or long arm, is consolidated into these financial stateme nts.should be read in conjunction with this discussion.
Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actualperiods. Significant estimates include valuation of goodwill, the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, allowances for doubtful account and credit losses, valuation of common and preferred stock issuances, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from those estimates.the estimates and assumptions used.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to raise funds, generate revenues and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Notes and Short-Term Receivable
The note and short-term receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company measures the impairment of loans based on its historical loan collection experience and existing economic conditions. Impairment of the loan is recognized when management believes it is probable that payments will not be received on some portion of the loan, which is determined on an individual loan basis. When management determines that a loan is impaired it is placed on non-accrual status, and an allowance for loan losses is established to recognize the estimated amount of impairment. Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.
Impairment of long lived assets
The Company evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Accordingly, any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses have been recognized at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Revenue Recognition
Income from foreign currency operations is earned by referring potential customers to foreign exchange trading companies. The Company’s websites identify potential customers with a short-term foreign exchange trading need. Foreign exchange trading companies remit a percentage of their revenues to the Company in exchange for customer leads, which the Company recognizes when the exchange trading occurs.
The Company recognizes consulting fees when services have been rendered.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense including compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards based on their estimated grant date fair values. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over any required service period. No such expenses were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011 and $40,000 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosure guidance expands the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures, is required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect that are applicable. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation 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 amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the applicable period to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Ex changeExchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our Chief Executive Officer
As a smaller reporting company, without a viable business and Chief Financial Officer concluded ourrevenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure controls and procedures wereGAAP compliance. As is the case with many smaller reporting companies, the Company will continue to work with its external auditors and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost effective solution available for the reporting period ending July 31, 2010.foreseeable future. The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management's review of key financial documents and records.
As a small business, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis, and the Company's external auditor conducts reviews on a quarterly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition 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 our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations 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 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The design of an internal control system reflects resource constraints and the benefits must be considered relative to the costs of implementing and maintaining the system.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of JulyDecember 31, 2010.2011. This assessment was based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, other than the control weakness mentioned above, we believe that as of JulyDecember 31, 20102011 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.
This annual 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 the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 20102011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Subject to an effective registration statement, the Company may submit a notice to Centurion from time to time, as and when the Company deems appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that the Company is entitled to put in any one notice is such number of shares of common stock as equals $250,000 subject to certain volume limitations. The put price of the securities to Centurion will equal the lesser of: (i) 98% of the average of the lowest three daily volume weighted average price, or "VWAPs," of our common stock during the fifteen trading day period beginning on the trading day immediately following the date Centurion receives our put notice (the "Market Price") or (ii) the Market Price minus $0.01. The Investment Agreement provides that the Company must deliver an advance put notice to Centurion at least five business days but no more than ten business days prior to any intended put date. The advance put notice must provide the number of shares included in the put and the put date. Pursuant to the terms of, and in consideration for Centurion entering into, the Investment Agreement, the Company issued 1,214,224 shares of Common Stock to Centurion as a commitment fee in connection with the Investment Agreement (the "Commitment Shares") and 86,730 shares of the Common Stock representing fees incurred by Centurion in connection with the Investment Agreement (the "Fee Shares"), in each case based upon a deemed valuation per share equal to 100% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Investment Agreement.
The Company may terminate the facility at any time for any reason during an Extended Put Period (as defined in the Investment Agreement), provided that such termination shall have no effect on the parties' other rights and obligations under the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. The Investment Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each of the Company and Centurion. There are circumstances under which we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement.
In addition, the Company executed a Registration Rights Agreement with Centurion whereby the Company agreed to register a number of shares of its Common Stock equal to the Commitment Shares, the Fee Shares, any shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with a put and any shares resulting from a dividend, stock split, exchange, reclassification or similar distribution. The Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Statement to register such shares within 60 days and to have such registration be effective within 120-150 days and to keep such registration statement, or additional registration statements if necessary, remain effective until either all of the registered shares are sold or the shares may be sold in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In connection with the Investment Agreement, the Company issued the Commitment Shares and the Fee Shares to Centurion. These securities were issued in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuance did not involve any general solicitation or advertising by us. Centurion acknowledged the existence of transfer restrictions applicable to the securities sold by us. Certificates representing the securities sold contain a legend stating the restrictions on transfer to which such securities are subject. The commitment fee for the transaction has been capitalized under Other Assets.

Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions
Our Board of Directors is charged with reviewing and approving all potential related party transactions. All such related party transactions must then be reported under applicable SEC rules. We have not adopted other procedures for review, or standards for approval, of such transactions, but instead review them on a case-by-case basis.
Director Independence
In 2011 Board of Directors has determined that Mrs. Franco and Mr. Klinger are each independent directors as of December 31, 2011 based on the definition of independence in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Corporate Governance Rules. Mr. Klinger was, subsequent to the year end, appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and, as a result, Mr. Klinger is no longer considered independent. In 2010, Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Reich and Mr. Glass are each independent directors as of December 31, 2010 based on the definition of independence in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Corporate Governance Rules. The Board of Directors is currently evaluating committee charters with the goal of establishing a Compensation Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee.

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by our auditors,accrued for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended JulyDecember 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during these fiscal years were $3,350$10,000 for 2010 and $2,500 for 2009. The audit fees incurred in 2010 are not comparable to other periods, because the Company a) restated their financials during the year due to the incorrect classification of certain startup-related expenses in 2009, among other items, and b) the Company changed their fiscal year in 2010 to end on December 31, 2010 from July 31, 2010.
On December 28, 2011 (the "Engagement Date"), the Company engaged Rosen, Seymour, Shapss, Martin & Company LLP ("New Auditor") as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The decision to engage the New Auditor as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
The aggregate fees accrued for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and for the reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during these fiscal years were $9,000 for 2011 for the Former Auditor. In fiscal 2012, in lieu of additional work required by the New Auditor that relate to restatement of prior year’s financials, the Company and the New Auditors agreed to modify their fees to auditors$55,000 from $30,000.
We incurred $12,500 fees to an accountant for tax advice and tax compliance services during the fiscal years ended JulyDecember 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Audit CommitteeCompany’s board has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Presentation and Basis of consolidationFinancial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaryForex International Trading Corp. and all variable interest entities for whichof its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the Company is the primary beneficiary.“Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated uponin consolidation. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, whether the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsamount 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 period.periods. Significant estimates include the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, allowances for doubtful accounts and loan losses, valuation of common and preferred stock issuances, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Notes and Short-Term Receivable
The note and short-term receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company measures the impairment of loans based on its historical loan collection experience and existing economic conditions. Impairment is recognized when management believes it is probable that payments will not be received on some portion of the loan, which is determined on an individual loan basis. The Company evaluates loans for impairment on an annual basis or when there are indications that the loan may not be collected. When management determines that a loan is impaired it is placed on non-accrual status, and an allowance for loan losses is established to recognize the estimated amount of impairment. Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.
As required by GAAP for long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the fair value of its property and equipment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment losses during either of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Fair value measurements
Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy which requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three broad levels in the fair value hierarchy which describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth below:
| Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
F-8
FOREX INTERNATIONAL TRADING CORP.
TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
| Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs. |
The Company considers the United States Dollar (“US Dollar” or "$") to be the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary. The reporting currency of the Company is the US Dollar and accordingly, all amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been presented or translated into US Dollars. For non-US subsidiary that do not utilize the US Dollar as its functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated to US Dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost. The re-issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on demand.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations and has adopted the disclosure only alternative of ASC Codification Topic 220 and SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted forincome taxes using the fair valueliability method, as prescribedwhich provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the current tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are anticipated to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.
GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination.
Revenue Recognition
Income from foreign currency operations is earned by ASC Codification Topic 220 and SFAS No. 123.referring potential customers to foreign exchange trading companies. The Company’s websites identify potential customers with a short-term foreign exchange trading need. Foreign exchange trading companies remit a percentage of their revenues to the Company in exchange for customer leads, which the Company recognizes when the exchange trading occurs.
The Company has electedrecognizes consulting fees when services have been rendered.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense including compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to operateemployees and directors including employee stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards based on their estimated grant date fair values. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense on a Fiscal Accounting Yearstraight-line basis over any required service period. No such expenses were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011 and Fiscal Tax Year ending on July 31st.$40,000 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock, such as options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings (loss). Such potential additional common shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted loss per share is not computed because any potential additional common shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an antidilutive effect.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to raise funds, generate revenues and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the Company’s assets or the payment of its liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Concurrently, certain shareholders agreed to surrender 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation to avoid diluting the ownership of the other existing shareholders.
Following the purchase of Triple 8 shares from APH, the Company entered into another Share Exchange Agreement to acquire 1,996 common shares, or 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Triple 8, from the H.A.M. Group Limited (“HAM”). As a Securedresult, the Company’s ownership of Triple 8 increased to 49.9% of the issued and Collateralized Promissory Note inoutstanding common shares. As consideration for its purchase, the principle amountCompany issued HAM 12,000 shares of $400,000Series A Preferred Stock and a 6% Convertible Debenture for $600,000, due June 30, 2011 (the “ATL“HAM Note”). Concurrent with theThe Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of the Forex Note, ATL must make a payment to the Company reducing a pro rata amount owed to the Company under the ATL Note. The ATL Note bears interest at the rate of 12%$0.30 per annum and matures one year from the date of issuance. No interest or principal payments are required until the maturity date, but both principal and interest may be prepaid prior to maturity date and ATL is required to pay down an amount equal to any amounts converted under the Forex Note. The ATL Note is secured byshare, thus representing 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
The Company has defaulted on its note payable to APH and on its obligation under the HAM Note. In order to avoid costly litigation and the potential detrimental impact of a publicly listed company on the Tel Aviv and London Stock Exchanges with an approximate market value of $400,000 (the “ATL Collateral”). In the event that ATL defaults on the ATL Note,judgment to the Company may take possessionas a result of two defaults, the Company entered into an agreement to annul its purchases of Triple 8 stock. As a part of the ATL CollateralAnnulment:
| · | Triple 8 has agreed to pay the Company $2,001,000 (the “Triple Payments”) over time through November 2012. If Triple 8 fails to make any of the payments for a period of 60 days, it must transfer the original number of its common shares (17,924) purchased back to the Company. In addition, Triple 8 is not entitled to have any previous payments returned. |
| · | The Company issued a new $1,000,000 promissory note (the "CDOO Note") to an assignee of HAM and APH as consideration for the termination of the APH Note and the HAM Note, which were both in default. The assignee has the ability to foreclose on all shares of Triple 8 held by the Company. The CDOO note bears interest at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) and is due and payable in full on November 30, 2012. In the event that Triple 8 fails to make the Triple Payments, then the amount payable under the CDOO Note is to be reduced by half of the amount of any missed payment. |
| · | APH and HAM have agreed to return all of their stock holdings to the Company for cancellation. |
The Annulment closed on December 7, 2011, and the Company received its initial Triple Payment of $732,000 in cash at that time. Subsequently, the Company received Triple Payments of $73,214, $68,214 and $78,214 for the months of January, February and March 2012.
The Company initially accounted for its acquisition of Triple 8 using the acquisition method as prescribed by GAAP. Under the acquisition method, the acquirer must recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the eventacquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Although the Company acquired less than 50% of the ownership of Triple 8, the use of the acquisition method and the accounting treatment of Triple 8 was considered appropriate because the Company believed that it had acquired control of Triple 8. The basis behind the determination that the ATL Collateral is insufficient to pay the full debt owed under the ATL Note, the Company may pursue further remedies against ATL.
However, in June 2011, Triple 8’s operating subsidiary’s management unilaterally removed the Company’s employee from its Board and asserted its control over business operations. Since then, the Company has reevaluated its determinations that it had acquired control of Triple 8 and that Triple 8 was subject to consolidation as a Variable Interest Entity. As a result, management has concluded that it never really had control and that the use of the acquisition method of accounting was not appropriate. Upon reconsideration, management also has concluded that Triple 8 was not subject to consolidation as a Variable Interest Entity essentially because the Company had no equity investment at risk. In coming to these conclusions, the Company considered the following:
| 1. | The fair value of the consideration paid in both of the Share Exchange Agreements is questionable. The original consideration included the Company’s stock and notes payable. Given that the fair value of the Company’s stock and the fair value of Triple 8 was difficult to determine and that the Company never made any cash payments for its obligations under the notes payable, there is a legitimate argument that no consideration was paid for the Triple 8 stock received under the Share Exchange Agreements. |
| a. | With respect to exchange value of the company’s stock, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements the Company’s stock was not trading. [Since then, the Company’s stock has been a thinly traded penny stock that has had a high level of price volatility with respect to what stock has been traded and has not been rated by any analysts.] |
| b. | With respect to value in use of the would-be acquiree, management takes into account that at the time of the Share Exchange Agreements Triple 8 was a newly formed entity in business for only 2 years. Under the circumstances, any valuation of Triple 8 would be highly subjective. A market or cost approach to valuing Triple 8 was not feasible and an income approach requires highly subjective estimates about future operations, profits, and cash flows. |
| c. | The Company’s failure to make debt payments and the continuing revisions indicate that the Company’s Notes Payable were of little value to Triple 8’s sellers. |

| 2. | The unilateral removal of the Company’s employee from the Triple 8 Board and Triple 8’s operating subsidiary management assertion of its control over business operations indicates the Company’s inability to control Triple 8. |
These considerations have led the Company to conclude that the purchase of Triple 8 involved no consideration. Furthermore, the Share Exchange Agreement transactions do not meet the conditions necessary to qualify as a business combination achieved without the transfer of consideration under GAAP.
The Company has also considered the use of the equity method and the cost method of accounting in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement transactions for the purchase of Triple 8. Generally, GAAP requires that investments in common stock or in entities over which the investor can exercise significant influence, but not control, be accounted for using the equity method. Otherwise, an investment should be accounted for at cost. In addition, the Company believes that its investment in Triple 8 should be accounted for at cost because it did not have significant influence over the period from the closing of the APH Agreement through to date of the annulment agreement. While the Company did not have significant influence over Triple 8 during that period, the counterparties to the annulment agreement acknowledged the Company’s investment by entering into the annulment agreement. Therefore, these financial statements have been restated to present the investment in Triple 8 on a cost basis, with cost being determined by the market value of the Company’s stock paid and the stated value of the note payable issued under the APH Agreement. The gain on settlement of Triple 8 is accounted for as other income in the 2011 statement of operations.
A restated and reclassified consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 along with a restated and reclassified consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended are presented below. The Company had no change to its 2010 statement of operations since the Share Exchange Agreement effectively closed on December 30, 2010.
