Risk Management
Overview
The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market price risk. The company's Management has overall responsibility for the oversight of the Company's risk management within parameters established by the board of Directors. Triple activities, given the above mentioned risks, are monitored and managed as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a client fails to meet its margin requirements due to a loss of funds. Clients are required to deposit cleared funds as margin before they can trade. If the clients' margin falls below the minimum margin requirement to maintain a position, they will be issued a margin call.
The clients either have to increase the margin that they have deposited by providing additional funds or to reduce and/or close out their position. At any point the clients' account is in a status of margin call, the company may, at its discretion, liquidate some or all of that client's positions in order to bring them back into line with their margin requirements. The company also has potential credit risk exposure to market counterparties with which it hedges and with banks that hold company's funds and customers' funds. The Company manages a number of accounts with leading international banks and brokers and does not expect such counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.
Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The company continuously monitors its working capital adequacy, including forecast and actual gross profit and cash flows from operations.
Market price risk
Market risk arises from open contracts with customers and counterparties. Exposure to market risk is closely monitored in accordance with limits, and reduced through hedging with other institutions. (i.e. clearing the contracts and recognize a loss or revenue from actions in derivative financial instruments). The company is exposed to currency risk for its financial assets and liabilities which are denominated predominantly in US dollars. The gains and losses arising from the company's exposure are recognized in the profit and loss account.
Dodd-Frank Act - Other Risks
The Company is principally engaged via its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in offering foreign currency market trading to non-US residents. As such, the Company has blocked traffic from the US and periodically reviews its client list to make sure that US residents are not trading on its platforms. The Company recently received a notice from the Commodities and Future Trading Commission (“CFTC”) alleging that the Company was offering its services to US residents, in violation of CFTC rules. As a response to that letter, the Company investigated its operations, and identified about 33 US residents which were able to open accounts during gaps while upgrading the platform, and then closed their accounts and returned their money to them. The platforms were also upgraded to close any loopholes and to block US traffic more tightly. Due to the fact that the Company has no US-based customers, and has blocked US-based customers, the Company position is that it is not subject to the Dodd-Frank Act. As the Company is having intensive negotiations to potentially acquire an interest in a registered Broker Dealer within the US, it is making the following disclosure:
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, a currency conversion carried out by a Broker Dealer (“BD”) in connection with a securities purchase for a retail customer, could be interpreted as a "financing" due to the settlement risk. As a result, to the extent that the statute was meant to be interpreted in this way, BDs would not be eligible to carry out those conversions for retail customers after July 16, absent Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC) relief. While a BD could avoid this result by settling the foreign currency conversion T+2 ahead of the T+3 settlement for the security, that approach would impose additional market risk on either the customer or BD, depending upon how the one-day pricing risk was allocated. Although the CEA provides that enumerated regulated entities may act or offer to act as counterparty in retail forex transactions, the Dodd-Frank Act added Section 2(c)(2)(E)[9] to the CEA, which provides that an otherwise regulated entity, such as a bank or BD, for which there is a federal regulator, may not offer or enter into retail forex transactions unless offered pursuant to rules of the applicable federal regulator.[10] The applicable regulator for BDs is the SEC. However, to date, the SEC has not published rules and the staff has informally suggested that the SEC is not likely to do so. As a result, as of July 16, 2011, BDs will no longer be able to effect transactions to purchase or sell currency for their retail customers, unless the currency transaction will be physically settled in two business days or otherwise falls outside the coverage of the CEA (in instances where the transaction is not leveraged, margined, or financed). The CEA does not include exemptions for hedging or de minims transactions. The prohibition on soliciting and transacting in retail forex applies to every type of BD. As a result, clearing firms will not be able to facilitate retail forex trades for customers of their U.S. and foreign correspondents. A correspondent BD would not be allowed to handle execution of retail foreign exchange itself (through its institutional foreign exchange desk) unless the customers are ECPs. BDs that direct retail forex to another entity that is appropriately registered for the business (e.g., Futures commission merchants (“FCM”)) would not be affected. The CFTC's ability to fix this problem is limited. The CFTC is not allowed to regulate or have its rules apply to a BD. The CEA expressly provides that a BD may not qualify to carry out this activity by routing the business through an FCM that is part of the BD. In its forex rules, the CFTC has similarly provided that a BD may not address the problem by dually registering as a Forex Dealer.[11] As a result, unless the SEC acts, retail forex may only be conducted by a regulated entity that is outside of a BD. BDs who currently conduct retail forex transactions for their customers should work with their customers to open separate accounts for the business at an FCM, bank, or Forex Dealer. In terms of legacy transactions, it is not clear whether or not they would continue to be enforceable and legal if carried by the BD. As a result, absent SEC relief, BDs may want to consider novating them to a properly regulated FCM, bank, or Forex Dealer. Investment advisers are also impacted by these rules. Under the CEA and CFTC rules, a person who exercises discretionary authority over a retail forex account carried at an FCM or Forex Dealer must itself register as a CTA.
The CEA excludes from this requirement other regulated entities that are permitted to act as counterparty to retail transactions, but does not exclude registered investment advisers. Since BDs will no longer be a type of authorized entity for such activity, financial advisers and other types of registered investment advisers (RIAs) will no longer be able to advise retail customers on foreign exchange transactions conducted through an FCM or Forex Dealer unless they are licensed as a CTA with the CFTC. To the extent that the retail foreign exchange transactions on which an adviser provides advice are executed through a bank, a discretionary adviser will not be required to register as a CTA.
NOTE 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary and all(Forex Sub) without variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, whether the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The
On or around December 31, 2010, the Company acquired 44.9% of Asset and its wholly-owned subsidiary UFX Ltd (“Asset Subsidiary”), which was incorporated in Israel. Although the Company owned a minority stake of Asset, an employee of the Company, Mr. D. Offer, was appointed as the sole director of Asset Subsidiary until June 30, 2011. Asset Subsidiary is the operational arm of Asset. Under Israeli corporate law, the Board of Directors of the operating subsidiary have total control over the operations of the operating company, with the authority to hire and fire and open bank accounts to further the aims of the entire company. Furthermore, Asset Subsidiary held all client accounts for Asset, bank accounts and employed all of Asset’s workers.
Given this set of facts, and under the guidance of FINR46, the Company therefore had to consolidate the results of VI into its financial results. At December 31, 2010, the Company consolidated only the balance sheet of Triple 8 LimitedVI, because the transaction closed at yearend of fiscal 2010. The Company consolidated the statements of operation and its subsidiaryof cash flows thereafter, in addition to the balance sheet, for the periods ended March31, 2011 and June30, 2011. The Company was consolidated, not including consolidation of Triple 8 Limited (and its subsidiary) operations,forced to consolidate, as the VI was judged to be a variable interest entity, and management of the Company concluded that the Company was in fact the primary beneficiary of the VI’s gains and losses. The fact that Mr. Offer was the sole director at the operating subsidiary gave the Company de-facto operating control of the VI, through other than voting means.
Go-forward accounting treatment – No consolidation per FIN46R, barring the acquisition took placeof an additional interest in Asset
Due to the fact that Mr. Offer was removed unilaterally from the Board of Directors of Asset Subsidiary by the Directors of Asset, on or around June 30, 2011, and the fact that the Company holds a minority stake in VI, the Company is forced to take the decision to discontinue consolidating the financial statements of VI into its results in the third fiscal quarter of 2011.
The Company is recasting its results to show the equity method from the beginning of the year, as is permitted under ASC810, which states that a restatement to the equity method is permissible to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the de-consolidation occurs, but not to prior fiscal years. During the first two quarters, the Company did have significant influence over the VI, so the cost method is not appropriate during those first two quarters.
In lieu of the adversarial situation with Asset, and lacking access to Asset financials, the Company is required to use the cost method to account for the investment going forward. The basis for this method, when the company still owns nearly 50%, is that without Mr. Offer’s involvement at yearend. the Asset Subsidiary, the Company no longer has operating control, or even significant influence over the VI, as evidenced by the fact that the Company has not received VI’s third quarter operating results as of the date of this filing (see Subsequent Events).
The rules in ASC810 allow a restatement to the equity method in that case, back to the beginning of the year (2011). Restatement of the prior year (12/2010) is not permitted under the rules. The Company included in footnote 3 a table which reflects the Company’s standalone earnings from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011, unconsolidated with those of the VI, though consolidated with Forex Sub, the Company management is in compliance with the instructions of ASC810, and therefore restatement to prior quarterly financials is not needed.
Given that the Company’s cannot continue to consolidate Asset’s financial statements going forward, we have performed an analysis to assess the impairment to goodwill. Based on available market data, and on discussions with possible buyers, the Company has determined that it could potentially sell the investment in 49.9% of VI for approximately $4-6MM. The Company has therefore impaired the goodwill by $24.4MM, and switched the cost method going forward. The carrying value of the investment (shown in Other Assets) is at the lower end of the probable sale range, which is $4MM. The Company also evaluated impairment using a combination of publicly-traded comparables and discounted cash flow analysis, but chose to use the sale price method, because of the more conservative carrying value, and because of the diminished value from no longer having operating control, and in fact being denied certain key information such as financial statements for the third fiscal quarter, the consequence of which is to make the equity method of accounting for the investment untenable in this quarter and going forward.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE's”), where it is the entity’s primary beneficiary. VIE's are entities in which equity investors do 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 support from other parties. The primary beneficiary is the party that has exposure to a majority of the expected losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE.
For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, the balance sheet and results of operations of Forex Sub, our wholly owned subsidiary, which is not active in operation and serving as our agent) were consolidated into these financial statements.
Although the Company acquired approximately 45% of Operation Unit at yearend of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company determined that Operation Unit was a VIE, and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s residual gains and losses. For this and other reasons discussed in the prior section regarding consolidation, the Company has therefore consolidated VI’s financial statements for the first and second fiscal quarter of 2011. Starting in the third fiscal quarter of 2011, the Company has determined that the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of the entity’s gains and losses. Therefore, the Company will no longer be consolidating the financial results of VI going forward, for the reasons discussed above, barring the acquisition of an additional interest in VI that would raise the Company’s ownership above 50%. No such acquisition occurred during the third fiscal quarter, and none is planned in the future.
Marketable securities
The Company determines the appropriate classification of all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. The Company assesses whether temporary or other-than-temporary gains or losses on its marketable securities have occurred due to increases or declines in fair value or other market conditions. The Company had marketable securities within continuing operations during the year, which have been sold in the market.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash.
Revenue Recognition
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for all transactions. The Company recognized revenue and gains when earned and related costs of sales and expenses when incurred.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost. Issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. Differences between the cost of treasury shares and the re-issuance proceeds are charged to additional paid-in capital.
Share Repurchase Program
On April 25, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program as of April 25, 2011. Under the program, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 1,000,000 of its shares of common stock in open market transactions at the discretion of management. All stock repurchases will be subject to the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and other rules that govern such purchases. As of September 30, 2011 the Company repurchased 32,500 of its common shares in the open market at a total cost of $10,529, which will be returned to treasury stock.
Fixed and Other Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Office furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over seven years. Computer equipment and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life or the life of the lease (three years).
Costs of software acquired along with payroll costs and consulting fees relating to the development of internal use software, including that used to provide internet solutions, are capitalized. Once the software is placed in service, the costs are amortized over the estimated useful life.
Costs of Debt Discount are amortized over the life of the note that was discounted, typically two years.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE's”), where it is the entity’s primary beneficiary. VIE's are entities in which equity investors do 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 support from other parties. The primary beneficiary is the party that has exposure to a majority of the expected losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE. For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, the balance sheets and results of operations of FOREX INTERNATIONAL TRADING CORP M.S. LTD, (our wholly owned subsidiary, which is not active in operation and serving as our agent) and Triple were consolidated into these financial statements.
On November 17, 2010, Forex International Trading Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “APH Agreement”) with AP Holdings Limited (“APH”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 17,924 ordinary shares of Triple 8 Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Cyprus, engaged in the business of operating a Forex trading platform (“Triple”). The securities acquired from APH represent approximately 45% of the issued and outstanding securities of Triple. Pursuant to the APH Agreement, in consideration for the securities of Triple, the Company agreed to issue 36,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as well as a 6% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,200,000 due February 15, 2011 (the “APH Note”). On December 30, 2010, the Company and APH entered into an amendment to the APH Agreement whereby the number of shares to be delivered by the Company was reduced from 36,000,000 to 25,000,000. Further, on December 30, 2010, in order to expedite the transaction and avoid further dilution of the existing shareholders, Medirad Inc. and Rasel Ltd., shareholders of the Company, have agreed to return an aggregate of 70,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation upon closing of the APH Agreement. The above transaction closed on December 30, 2010.
Although the Company acquired approximately 45% of Triple at yearend, the Company determined that Triple was a VIE, and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s residual gains and losses. The Company has therefore consolidated Triple’s financial statements for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 in the financial statements herein.discounted.
Loss per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Codification Topic 260 Section S99-1 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had 2,948,33347,990,568 dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options or warrants as of the date of these financials.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency translation
The Company considers the United States Dollar (“US Dollar” or "$") to be the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 subsidiaries 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.
Fair value of financial instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, loans payable, customer deposits and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s note receivable approximates its fair value based on management’s best estimate of future cash collections.
Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires a full set of general-purpose financial statements to be expanded to include the reporting of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non owner sources. As of March 31,September 30, 2011, foreign currency translation adjustments arising from Asset incomes per equity method were the only items of other comprehensive income for the Company.
Segment reporting
The Company follows Statement of ASC Codification Topic 220 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.
Recent pronouncements
In May 2008, FAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts”, and SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, were issued. In March 2008, FAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 was issued.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 168 – become effective on July 1, 2009 – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which makes the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The adoption of ASC Topic 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or result of operations. Other recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements are not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.
Stock-Based Compensation
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 for using the fair value method as prescribed by ASC Codification Topic 220 and SFAS No. 123.
Year End
On October 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of Forex the Company approved a change in the Company's fiscal year of July 31 to December 31 (the “Fiscal Year Change”). The Company filed a transition report on Form 10-Q covering the transition period of August 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (the “Transition Period”). The Company also filed its Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 accordingly.
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.
NOTE 3
Acquisitions and Divestitures
Pursuant to the APH agreement the Company agreed to issue 36,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as well as a 6% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,200,000 due February 15, 2011 (the “APH Note”). Acquisitions
On or around December 30,31, 2010, the Company and APH entered into an amendment to the APH Agreement whereby the number of shares to be delivered by the Company was reduced from 36,000,000 to 25,000,000. Further, on December 30, 2010, in order to expedite the transaction and avoid further dilution of the existing shareholders, Medirad Inc. and Rasel Ltd., shareholders of the Company, have agreed to return an aggregate of 70,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation upon closing of the APH Agreement. The above transaction closed on December 30, 2010.
Although the Company acquired approximately 45%44.9% of Triple at yearend, the Company determined that Triple was a VIE, and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s residual gains and losses. The Company has therefore consolidated Triple’s financial statements for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 in the financial statements herein.

Capitalization of Offering Costs
The Company determined that it had booked certain costs associated with its offering (mostly legal expenses, and expenses associated with producing its financial statements) as expenses in error, which caused a restatement of the financials in 2010. The2010, where the net amount to be capitalized is $50,626.$50,625 at December 31, 2010 and $410,625 at September 30, 2011.

Goodwill - Acquisition of approximately 45% of Triple 8 LimitedVI

The goodwill recorded in the transaction was $26,594,710.$26,594,710 (as appears on the December 31, 2010 balance sheet). As part of its due diligence process, the Company hired an outside firm to conduct a fairness opinion on the valuation of Triple.Operation Unite. One of the methods employed by that firm for assessing the fairness of the transaction to the Company was the Net Adjusted Asset method, which assumes as its premise that the fair market value of the assets is equal to the cost and book value of those assets. Triple’sVI’s balance sheet was audited at 12/31/10December 31, 2010 by a separate auditauditing firm, and it was determined that no additional write-up (or write-down) to the value of the assets and liabilities of TripleVI was needed to bring those assets and liabilities from audited book value to fair market value, because there was only one buyer for those assets, and the assets, particularly the Property Plant and Equipment, had a very specific use. Therefore, the premium in purchase price over the approximately 45% of book value of the net assets acquired was allocated entirely to goodwill.
On or around April 6, 2011, the Company acquired approximately an additional 5% interest in VI, and booked an additional $1,736,777 in goodwill as a result of that transaction, bringing the total goodwill in connection with Asset to $28,331,487.
Given that the Company’s cannot continue to consolidate Asset’s financial statements going forward, we have performed an analysis to assess the impairment to goodwill. Based on available market data, and discussions with possible buyers, the Company has determined that it could potentially sell the investment in 49.9% of VI for approximately $4-6MM. The Company will assess impairments tohas therefore impaired the goodwill on a quarterly basis. To assess possible impairments, we will assess differences between budget to actual on several key operating metrics, including growthby $24.4MM, and switched the cost method going forward. The carrying value of the investment (shown in accounts netOther Assets) is at the lower end of churn, and also trading volume on the Triple trading platform.probable sale range, which is $4MM. The Company will also assess, onevaluated impairment using a periodic basis, significant changescombination of publicly-traded comparables and discounted cash flow analysis, but chose to use the sale price method, because of the more conservative carrying value, and because of the diminished value from no longer having operating control, and in the volatility of Company stock, which could change the Company’s theoretical cost of equity through the so-called “beta” coefficient, given that Company stock was the currency usedfact being denied certain key information such as financial statements for the purchasethird fiscal quarter, the consequence of which is to make the interestequity method of accounting for the investment untenable in Triple.this quarter and going forward.

The Company will receive 30% of the net profit generated from End Users, which will be increased to 50% in the event that the monthly volume generated by the Company is in excess of $250 million. Said agreement with Triple isAsset was considered by the Company as a mid-term-solution and in order to examine the system closely, the Company evaluate the platforms capabilities and flexibility to create a custom trading platform for the Company’s FUTUREfuture clients. While the Company is developing its own custom software platform, it began operating said affiliate program with Triple ’sAsset’s existing trading platform. The custom platform will be designed to help clients evaluate risk not only on a per trade basis, but also from a portfolio perspective. The Company will then add additional features to their platform such as: (i) Easy deposit and withdrawal or funds transfers between existing banking/investment accounts; (ii) Total portfolio integration of client’s currency accounts with other investment accounts; and (iii) Detailed real time calculations of profits and losses, among others.
