QUEPASA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Quepasa Corporation, (the “Company” or “Quepasa”), was incorporated in Nevada in June 1997. On December 6, 2011, the Company changed its legal domicile to Delaware. The Company is a social media technology company which owns and operates Quepasa.com and myYearbook.com. Quepasa is a social network discovery company that makes meeting new people fun through social games and applications, monetized through both advertising and virtual currency. Quepasa owns and operates two primary social network discovery platforms, the North American platform myYearbook and the Latin American platform Quepasa (collectively the “Quepasa Platforms”). In addition to myYearbook and Quepasa, the Company operates Quepasa Games, a cross platform social game development studio. In 2012 and 2011, the Company’s revenues were generated from advertising, the DSM contest platform, website development, games internally developed and distributed to ours and other sites, third party developed games introduced to the site, virtual currency, and royalty revenue.
The Quepasa.com community provides users with access to an expansive, multilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing, and other topics of interest to users. We offer online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations on our website. We work with our advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placement on the website.
The Company acquired XtFt Games S/S Ltda (“XtFt”), on March 2, 2011. On July 14, 2011 XtFt’s name was changed to Quepasa Games S/S Ltda (“Quepasa Games”). The Company’s wholly owned Brazilian based subsidiary, Quepasa Games, manages game development and creation of intellectual properties. On November 10, 2011, the Company, IG Acquisition Company (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Insider Guides, Inc., doing business as myYearbook.com (“myYearbook”) closed a Merger under which myYearbook merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Insider Guides, Inc. operates a social networking website, www.myyearbook.com, open to people of all ages, with a concentration of members between the ages of 13 and 24. As Merger consideration, the security holders of myYearbook securities received approximately $18 million in cash and approximately 17 million shares of Quepasa common stock (not including cash for fractional shares). Following the Merger, Merger Sub changed its name to Insider Guides, Inc. Quepasa Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Insider Guides, legally merged as of January 1, 2012.
Interim Financial Information
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K, on March 14, 2012.
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), Quepasa Games S/S Ltda (from March 2, 2011), and Insider Guides, Inc. (from November 10, 2011). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. $504,841 for hosting, software licenses, production office rent, health insurance, staffing services, foreign subsidiary administrative expenses, and acquisition costs related the acquisition of Quepasa Games were reclassified from general and administrative expense to acquisition and restructuring costs, product development and content expense, and sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Prepaid advertising and deferred subscription revenue of $70,516 was reclassified from accrued liabilities to deferred revenue for the December 31, 2011 balance sheet.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Most significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimated lives and playing periods that we use for games revenue recognition, the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of the discount on notes payable, valuation of equity instruments granted for services, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment and the measurement and accrual of restructuring costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Concentrations
We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. We continually monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions we invest with.
Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses related to these balances. Such amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 approximated $3.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
Restricted Cash
We were required by state laws to hold funds for certain DSM contests in separate trust accounts that required written notice from the state to be released. Restricted cash is classified as current when the restriction is expected to lift within twelve months of the balance sheet date. The restricted cash balances were released and transferred to the cash and cash equivalents in March 2012, upon receipt of written notice of the completion of the DSM contests completion.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s purchase prices of Insider Guides, Inc. and Quepasa Games (formerly known as XtFt Games S/S Ltda), over the fair values of the respective identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized. For the 2011 acquisitions, goodwill is not recognized for tax purposes. Goodwill is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review. Goodwill is evaluated using specific methods required in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), including potentially, a discounted cash flows method to determine the fair value of a reporting unit and comparison of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The analysis necessarily involves significant management judgment to evaluate the capacity of an acquired business to perform within projections. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, determined by conducting a valuation, then the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Management performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value including goodwill. In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill is impaired, the goodwill carrying value will be reduced to its implied fair value through a charge to operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company recorded approximately $1.4 million impairment charges related to goodwill. No impairment occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with GAAP, we review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. For assets which are held and used in operations, the asset is deemed to be impaired if its carrying value exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or estimated discounted future cash flows attributable to the asset. No asset impairment occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for notes payable, net of discount, also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted accounting guidance for financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).
The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, two customers comprised 47% of total revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 one customer comprised 93% total revenues. Six customers comprised 55 % and 47% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Net Loss per Share
The Company computes and presents earnings or losses per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per share. Basic earnings or losses per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding, calculated on the treasury stock method for options and warrants using the average market prices during the period.
As the Company incurred a net loss in all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect of including them is anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the number of dilutive securities, which may dilute future earnings per share, outstanding for each of the periods presented, but not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share:

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements,” and ASC 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations.”
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we executed three contracts with Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“AHMSA”), which owns Mexicans & American Trading Together, Inc. (“MATT Inc.”), which qualify as Multiple-Element Arrangements. The first was a $3.5 million contract to develop a website and a series of environmental campaigns using our DSM technology, with multiple delivery dates from May 2010 through February 2011. The second was a $3.0 million contract to develop a website and a legislative campaign using our DSM Technology, with multiple delivery dates from June through December 2010. The third was a $3.0 million contract to develop the “Job of Your Dreams” (El Empleo de tus Suenos) campaign using our DSM technology, with multiple delivery dates from March 2011 through December 2011. The revenue from these contracts is allocated between DSM and website development as separate units of accounting based on their relative selling price. The selling price for DSM was determined using the ad impressions and click through rate that other advertising would require to generate similar engagements, since the DSM technology is a relatively new concept we developed. The selling price for website development was determined using the projected hours and prevailing rates for website development plus the cost of hardware, third party vendors and premium for use of our development resources.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we performed transactions with several partners that qualify as principal agent considerations. We recognize revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities, pursuant to revenue sharing agreements with advertising networks for advertising and with other partners for royalties on product sales.
Our revenue is generated from six principal sources: revenue earned from the sale of advertising on our websites, games, virtual currency products, DSM campaigns, website development services, and royalty revenue.

Advertising Revenue: Advertising and custom sponsorship revenues consist primarily of advertising fees earned from the display of advertisements and click-throughs on text based links on our websites myYearbook.com and Quepasa.com. Revenue from online advertising is recognized as impressions are delivered. An impression is delivered when an advertisement appears on pages viewed by members of the Company’s websites. Revenue from the display of click-throughs on text based links is recognized as click-throughs occur. Consistent with GAAP, we recognize advertising revenue from customers that are advertising networks on a net basis, while advertising revenues earned directly from advertisers are recognized on a gross basis. Sponsorship revenue is recognized over the time period in which the sponsorship on the website occurs. Approximately 63% and 3% of our revenue came from advertising during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Game Revenue: Game revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonable assured, and the service has been rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service has been provided to the player, we determine an implied obligation exists to the paying player to continue displaying the purchased virtual items within the online game of a paying player over their estimated life. The virtual goods are categorized as either consumable or durable. Consumable goods represent goods that are consumed immediately by a specific player action and have no residual value. Revenue from consumable goods is recognized at the time of sale. Durable goods add to the player’s game environment over the playing period. Durable items, that otherwise do not have a limitation on repeated use, are recorded as deferred revenue at time of sale and recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated average playing period of a paying player. For these items, the Company considers the average playing period that the paying players typically play the game, currently to be 18 months. If we do not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual goods from the consumable virtual goods for the specific game, we recognize revenue on the sale of the virtual goods for the game ratably over the estimated average playing period that paying players typically play the game. Any adjustments arising from changes in the average playing period would be applied prospectively on the basis that such changes are caused by new information indicating a change in the game player behavior patterns.
As the Company controls the game process and acts as a principal in the transaction, revenue for internally developed games is recognized on a gross basis from sales proceeds reported by pay aggregators which are net of payment rejections, charge-backs and reversals. The related games costs including the website hosting fees, advertising, marketing, administrative and payment services fees, and foreign taxes are recorded as cost of sales. The revenue from third party developed games is recorded net of revenue sharing payments and costs to the third party as the Company is considered to be acting as an agent in these transactions. Approximately 4% of our revenue came from games during the three months ended March 31, 2012. No significant game revenue was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Virtual Currency: Revenue is earned from virtual currency monetization products sold to our website users. These products include Lunch Money, credits on myYearbook, and “VIP” subscriptions and revenue is recognized as the products are consumed.
The Company also earns revenue from advertisement products from currency engagement actions (i.e. sponsored engagement advertisements) by users on all of our platforms, including cost-per-action (CPA) currency incented promotions and sales on our proprietary cross-platform currency monetization product, “Social Theater”. When a user performs an action, the user earns virtual currency and the Company earns product revenue from the advertiser. The Company controls and develops the Social Theater product and CPA promotions and acts as a principal in these transactions and recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis when collections are reasonably assured and upon delivery of the virtual currency to the users’ account. Approximately 33% of our revenue came from virtual currency revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012. No significant virtual currency revenue was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
DSM Revenues: We recognize DSM revenues over the period of the contest or as the services are provided. Approximately 0% and 92% of our revenue came from DSM campaigns both during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Effective November 2011 with the merger of myYearbook, the DSM product became a part of Social Theater, a cross platform, virtual currency product.
Website Development Revenue: We recognize website development revenues as the service is provided. Approximately 0 % and 3% of our revenue came from website development during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Royalty Revenue: Royalty revenue is generated as a percentage of product sales from certain partnership arrangements. We recognize royalty revenues on a net basis, as reported to us by third parties. One percent or less of our revenue came from royalty revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Note 2—Business Acquisitions
On March 2, 2011, we completed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with XtFt, the owner of substantially all of the assets and business of TechFront Desenvolvimento de Software S/S Ltda, a Brazilian company (“TechFront”). The Company acquired XtFt to obtain its game development expertise and existing and future intellectual properties. On July 14, 2011 XtFt’s name was changed to Quepasa Games.
We acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of XtFt. The shares issued to XtFt’s owners were calculated contractually based on $3,700,000 of our common stock (348,723 shares) at $10.61 per share which was based on the average closing price per share for the 10 trading days prior to the date of closing the Agreement. The acquisition date value of the shares issued of $2,730,501 was calculated using the fair market value of the 348,723 shares, at $7.83, the closing price of our common stock on the acquisition date. The prior owners of XtFt were eligible to receive a potential earn out fee of 250,000 shares of our common stock based on Quepasa Games achieving specific performance milestones. Because the 2011 milestones were not met, the prior owners of XtFt forfeited one-third of the earn-out or 83,334 shares. See Note 4 relating to 2012 performance. An additional cost of acquisition of $978,750 for the contingent earn out provision was calculated using the fair market value of the probable shares to be granted based on the terms of the Agreement at a price per share valued at the date of acquisition.
In connection with the Agreement, on February 1, 2011, we entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with TechFront and agreed to lend up to $500,000. Advances under the Credit Agreement may be used to pay off certain Techfront loans specified in the Agreement. The secured revolving line of credit shall become due and payable on February 1, 2017. The Credit Agreement is secured by certain U.S. and Brazilian Trademarks of TechFront. Prior to the acquisition date, $500,000 was advanced to TechFront under the Credit Agreement. The collectability of this amount was deemed by management to be doubtful immediately upon the date of the first advance and therefore in substance was deemed to be an additional cost of the acquisition.
The purchase price was allocated first to record identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value and the remainder to goodwill as follows:
Property and equipment | $ | 119,760 | ||
Other assets | 191,887 | |||
Total assets acquired | 311,647 | |||

Goodwill | 4,280,618 | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 4,209,251 |
The Company incurred approximately $368,000 of broker commissions, legal and professional fees and travel costs during the acquisition of Quepasa Games that were expensed as incurred and classified as acquisition and restructuring costs during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
On November 10, 2011, the Company, Merger Sub, and Insider Guides, Inc., closed the merger. Insider Guides operates the myYearbook.com platform. The Company and Insider Guides Inc. had similar focus on social discovery, social gaming, virtual goods and brand advertising and could capitalize on combined business strengths. As Merger consideration, the security holders of myYearbook received approximately $18 million in cash and approximately 17 million shares of Quepasa common stock (not including cash for fractional shares). Following the Merger, Merger Sub changed its name to Insider Guides, Inc.

Note 3—Notes Receivable
On March 27, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with BRC Group, LLC (“BRC”) for a maximum amount of $600,000.
A dispute arose and on April 6, 2009, BRC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. We filed an answer with counterclaims alleging a default by BRC and to accelerate the note.
In February 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with BRC effective as of September 22, 2009. Under the Settlement, BRC’s indebtedness to us was reduced from $350,000 to $250,000, evidenced by a new promissory note (the “Note”) dated September 22, 2009. The Note contains a repayment term of 18 months commencing June 1, 2011, bearing interest at the rate of 4% per annum, such interest to begin accruing February 1, 2011. As collateral for the Note, BRC issued us a warrant (the “Warrant”) permitting us to receive up to a 30% membership interest in BRC upon default. If BRC defaults under the Note and the Warrant is exercised, BRC shall have 90 days to repurchase the membership interest for the balance of the remaining principal and interest to date.
As a result of the Settlement and the Note, both parties agreed to a mutual release of the current litigation between the parties by filing a dismissal of the litigation with prejudice. Furthermore, both parties agreed to terminate all prior agreements between each other entered into before September 22, 2009, along with all duties rights and obligations thereunder.
On September 20, 2010, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Hollywood Creations, Inc. (“Hollywood”) and agreed to lend Hollywood $650,000 in three separate equal installments. This agreement relates to an arrangement for Quepasa’s exclusive right and license to market and distribute games developed by Hollywood to Quepasa end users. Those rights will be subject to a revenue sharing agreement. Each loan will be evidenced by a 6% Convertible Promissory Note due one year from the date of issuance (“Note”). The Note may be converted under certain circumstances. In the year ended December 31, 2010, we lent the first $216,667 installment and Hollywood issued us a Note due on September 20, 2011. In February 2011, we made another $40,000 advance due September 2011. In October, 2011 we deemed the Note uncollectible and we charged the note receivable and related accrued interest of $271,404 to bad debt expense.

Note 4—Goodwill
Goodwill represents the fair value of the intangible assets, not subject to amortization, from the acquisitions of Quepasa Games and Insider Guides, Inc. At December 31, 2011, management assessed relevant events and circumstances in evaluating whether it was more likely than not that its fair values were less than respective carrying amounts of the acquired subsidiaries pursuant to ASC 350 Intangibles, Goodwill and Other. After evaluation of Quepasa Games’ performance the period ended December 31, 2011 and projected 2012 performance, management determined that Quepasa Games could not achieve the performance necessary for the earn-out provision of the stock-purchase agreement and would require an impairment adjustment. A valuation of the Quepasa Games was performed and a $2.5 million fair value was determined. A comparison of the Company’s approximately $3.8 million carrying value of the Quepasa Games and the $2.4 million implied value of goodwill resulted in a loss on impairment of approximately $1.4 million. The translated value of goodwill for Quepasa Games will vary at each reporting period due to changes in the foreign exchange rates.
Management’s assessment of the events and circumstance since the acquisition of Insider Guides, Inc. shows positive operating performance, key metrics, customer retention, and no indicators that its fair value was less than its carrying amount at December 31, 2011. No impairment to goodwill occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
We lease our operating facilities in the United State of America, Mexico, and Brazil under operating leases and accordingly rent is expensed as incurred.
Litigation
From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. We operate our business online, which is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governments. In July 2011, the Company received a subpoena from the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) seeking records relating to our operations including specifically our e-mail marketing practices. Our attorneys advised us that the NYAG’s inquiry was preempted by federal law in the absence of any deceptive acts, and that they did not believe our e-mail marketing involved any deceptive practices. Nevertheless, we chose to cooperate fully with the NYAG, supplied documents we believed directly relevant, and made certain changes to our email practices to address the NYAG’s specific concerns. We believe the NYAG has concluded his investigation and will take no further action, and we are currently negotiating a settlement agreement. However, we cannot make assurances that we will reach our anticipated closure with the NYAG or that other regulators will not challenge aspects of our business. In such event, defending this or any other action could cause us to incur substantial expenses and divert our management’s attention. Any such defense, or change in our marketing or other practices could reduce our future revenues and increase our costs, and adversely affect our future operating results.

On August 3, 2011, Michelle Kaffko (the “Plaintiff’) filed a class action lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. The Company filed a motion to transfer the case to the Southern District of Florida and the Court granted that motion. On March 30, 2012, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida to add two additional defendants to the case. The amended complaint alleges that the Company and the other defendants sent unauthorized text messages to thousands of consumers by using equipment that had the capacity to generate random telephone numbers. The Plaintiff is seeking, for herself and on behalf of the members of the class, $500 for each alleged violation. The Company has investigated the Plaintiff’s claims and believes they have no merit with respect to the Company. Accordingly, the Company has filed motions to dismiss and for summary judgment.
On September 8, 2011, the Company received complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) by a former employee alleging sexual discrimination by the Company in the period following her voluntary resignation from the Company. The Company filed a written response denying the allegations and on November 15, 2011, engaged in mediation that ended in an impasse. The EEOC has not taken any further action on this complaint. The Company believes the plaintiff’s claims are without merit.
On September 15, 2011, FotoMedia Technologies, LLC (“FotoMedia”) sued Insider Guides, Inc. (“IG”) and four other defendant companies in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of certain patents relating to digital photo-sharing. FotoMedia alleged that IG infringed five of six separate patents that FotoMedia owned. On November 21, 2011, IG and two other defendants filed a Motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On December 22, 2011, prior to any ruling on the Motion to Dismiss, FotoMedia filed a Notice of Dismissal Without Prejudice with the Court. Accordingly, the action was dismissed without prejudice as of such date.
On November 18, 2011, Jeffrey Valdez, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors who was also a paid consultant to the Company sued the Company in the Superior Court of California for breach of contract relating to the ownership and use of certain intellectual property that he allegedly created. The plaintiff also claimed that the Company and John Abbott, its Chief Executive Officer, never intended to honor the contract. The Company denies these allegations and maintains that the plaintiff did not create any original intellectual property and that the Company is not otherwise using any intellectual property created by the plaintiff. The Court has granted the Company’s motion to dismiss Valdez’s claim that the Company fraudulently induced him to enter into the Consulting Agreement. The Court also dismissed the claim against Mr. Abbott. The Company intends to defend against the remaining claims vigorously.
Future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.
Restructuring Costs
On November 16, 2011, management announced a restructure plan consolidating operations. Restructuring costs include the employee relocation expenses, severance costs of terminated employees, the costs of contractual termination benefits and future service required payments, and exit costs of office closures. Employee relocation expenses and severance costs are expensed as incurred and classified as acquisition and restructuring costs. Accrued restructuring expenses were approximately $382,977 and $195,202 at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. The severance cost of payments requiring future service was measured at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaling approximately $345,000 and $550,000, respectively, and will be amortized over the expected service period during 2012.
Note 9—Convertible Preferred Stock
On June 30, 2008, we entered into a transaction with Mexicans & Americans Thinking Together Foundation, Inc. (“the Organization”) terminating the Corporate Sponsorship and Management Services Agreement (the “CSMSA”). In consideration for the Transaction, we issued the Organization 25,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, (the “Original Series A”). Dividends on the Original Series A accrued from the date of issuance at the rate per annum of 4.46% on the Stated Value ($100 per share) and were cumulative. Accrued dividends were $169,455 and $278,750 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. On May 12, 2011 the preferred stock was converted to 336,927 of common shares at the election of the Organization and dividend accrual terminated at the date of the conversion. On August 22, 2011, November 28, 2011, and January 18, 2012 $100,000, $50,000, and $100,000 respectively, partial dividend payments were made to the Organization.

On September 20, 2011, the Company amended the rights and preferences of the Original Series A (“Series A”). The Company sold 1,000,000 shares of new Series A convertible preferred for $5,000,000 to Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, LTD and Harvest Small Cap Partners, LP, (“Harvest’). The new Series A were convertible at a conversion price per share based on the following: the lower of (i) $3.5785 or (ii), if the Merger of Quepasa and myYearbook closes, the lower of (A) 85% of the closing price of Quepasa’s common stock on the closing date of the Merger or (B) 85% of the volume weighted average price during the 20 trading days ending with the date of the closing of the Merger. On November 10, 2011, Harvest converted the Series A into 1,479,949 shares of Quepasa’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38.
In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (“Series A-1”) MATT Inc. for $5,000,000. MATT Inc. was an existing shareholder of the Company. The Series A-1 shares are convertible, at MATT Inc.’s option, into 1,479,949 shares of Quepasa’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38, and have voting rights on as converted basis.
Note 10—Common Stock
The Company issued 106,193 shares of common stock in connection with the exercises of stock options for the proceeds of approximately $289,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 (see Note 11). On March 2, 2011, the Company shares issued 348,723 common shares to XtFt’s owners (currently known as Quepasa Games) in connection with the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of XtFt (see Note 2).
Note 11—Stock-Based Compensation
The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect over the expected term at the time of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. During 2012 and 2011, we continued to use the simplified method to determine the expected option term since our stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 includes incremental share-based compensation expense as follows:
For the three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Sales and marketing | $ | 68,487 | $ | 142,071 | ||||

General and administrative | 498,729 | 542,544 | ||||||
Total stock-based compensation | $ | 1,036,061 | $ | 873,234 |
We recognized stock-based compensation expense for the vesting of options of $1,036,061 and $873,234 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $8.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years.
Stock Option Plans
2006 Stock Incentive Plan
On June 27, 2007, the stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), providing for the issuance of up to 3,700,000 shares of common stock plus an additional number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares previously granted under the 1998 Stock Option Plan that either terminate, expire, or lapse after the date of the Board of Directors’ approval of the 2006 Plan.

On July 8, 2009, the board of directors authorized an option exchange of 5,751,937 existing stock options to a new exercise price of $1.00 per share in order to provide incentive for certain key employees. Some of the exchanged options were granted to our named executive officers including: 2,268,466 to John Abbott, Chief Executive Officer, 1,826,971 to Michael Matte, the Chief Financial Officer and 732,500 to Louis Bardov, the Chief Technology Officer. The financial impact of this transaction was an increase of $1,052,010 in stock based compensation to be amortized over the remaining life of the options and was recognized through year ended December 31, 2010.
Note 12—Warrants
In March 2006, we issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share as compensation to our then Chief Executive Officer. These warrants were still outstanding on December 31, 2011 and expire in March 2016. During March 2006, we issued three series (Series 1, 2 and 3) of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $2.87, $4.00, and $7.00 as compensation for certain strategic initiatives, including acquiring the services of our then Chief Executive Officer. The Series 1 warrant was exercised in 2006. Of the remaining warrants 50% (1,000,000) were owned by RSI. On January 25, 2008, the Company and RSI entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “RSI Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding warrants were reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the Note Payable of $263,690, to be amortized over the life of the note, see Note 7. The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were still outstanding at March 31, 2012 and expire in March 2016. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note
On February 19, 2010, we reduced the exercise price of the remaining 1,000,000 outstanding warrants to $3.55 per share. The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were still outstanding at March 31, 2012 and expire in March 2016. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date. The fair value of the modified warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate: | 3.24 | % | ||
Expected term: | 6.08 years | |||
Expected dividend yield: | — | |||
Expected volatility: | 105.68 | % |
In October 2006, we issued two series of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $12.50 and $15.00 per share to MATT Inc. in connection with the issuance of common stock. On January 25, 2008, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with MATT Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement the exercise price of MATT Inc.’s outstanding warrants were reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the Note Payable of $1,341,692, to be amortized over the life of the note, (see Note 7). These warrants expire in October 2016 and were still outstanding as of March 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note.

These warrants were subject to vesting based on performance standards detailed in the agreement. Warrants to purchase 165,000 shares vested and the remaining 100,000 expired. During the year ended December 31, 2011 warrants to purchase 165,000 shares were exercised. No warrants to purchase shares were outstanding and exercisable on March 31, 2012.
The fair value of these warrants of $178,903 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions listed below and recognized in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations for 2011.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” located in Part II, Item 1A of this report.
Company Overview
Our mission is to be the best place to meet new people. We develop mobile and web platforms to make meeting people fun through social games and apps. Our social graph is not the people you know but the people you want to know. We believe the ubiquity of the smart phone and emergence of social networks will fundamentally transform how people discover one another and make relationships in a mobile-first world.
Highlights for 2012 included:
· | As of March 31, 2012 registered users increased to 81.5 million, up from 78.1 million reported at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011. |
· | Page views totaled 9.6 billion in the first quarter of 2012, sequentially up from 5.43 billion reported in the fourth quarter of 2011, and up from the 605 million page views in the same period of 2011. |
· | Visits totaled 336.9 million in the first quarter 2012, sequentially up from the 192.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2011, and up from the 63.5 million visits in the same period of 2011. |
· | The Company announced the future consolidation of websites and rebranding as MeetMe. |
Trends in Our Metrics
We measure site, application and game activity in terms of monthly active users (MAUs), visits and page views. We define an MAU as a registered user of one of our platforms who logged in and visited our websites or mobile applications within the last month of measurement. We define a mobile MAU as a user who accesses our sites by a mobile app or by mobile-optimized versions of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet such as the iPad during the period of measurement. A visit represents the number of times that an MAU came to the site for a distinct session over the measurement period. A pageview is a page that an MAU views during a visit. As of March 31, 2012, we had 1.5 million mobile MAUs and 5.8 million web MAUs, as compared 0 mobile MAUs and 5.9 million web MAUs at March 31, 2011, an overall increase of 23% attributable to mobile MAU growth. Our mobile MAU growth was also driven by product enhancements across several mobile platforms. For example, we improved our product offering on feature phones and we launched the myYearbook app for the iPad in December 2011. Improving our mobile products and increasing mobile usage of Facebook are key priorities that we believe are critical to help us maintain and grow our user base and engagement over the long term. We expect global consumers will continue to increase the amount of time they spend and the information they share and consume through mobile devices.
We currently display ads to users who access our site via mobile apps. We believe that people around the world will continue to increase their use of site from mobile devices, and that some of this mobile usage has been and will continue to be a substitute for use through personal computers. Currently approximately 60% of myYearbook’s daily active users access the site on mobile devices.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Growth trends in MAUs and mobile MAUs are critical variables that affect our revenue and financial results by influencing the number of advertisements we are able to show, the value of those ads, the volume of payments transactions, as well as our expenses and capital expenditures.
22
In addition, changes in user engagement patterns also affect our revenue and financial performance. We believe that overall engagement as measured by the percentage of users who create content (such as wall posts, messages, or photos) or generate feedback has remained stable or increased as our user base has grown. Moreover, the average amount of content and feedback created by each user has continued to increase over time.
Our revenue trends are also affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of advertisements we display. We make ongoing product changes intended to enhance the user experience. In 2012, we continue to make significant investments in our technical infrastructure to ensure that our growing user base can access the site rapidly and reliably.
Our employee headcount continues to increase and we expect this growth to continue for the foreseeable future. We have also made and intend to make our primary objective to hire additional software engineers, product designers, and other personnel with certain technology expertise.
Concentration of Credit Risk
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, two customers comprised 47% of total revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 one customer comprised 93% total revenues. Six customers comprised 55 % and 47% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), Quepasa Games S/S Ltda (from March 2, 2011), and Insider Guides, Inc. (formerly known as IG Acquisition Company from November 10, 2011). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Most significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimated lives and playing periods that we use for games revenue recognition, the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of the discount on notes payable, valuation of equity instruments granted for services, valuation of re-pricing of warrants, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment and the measurement and accrual of restructuring costs. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board. In addition, there are other items within our consolidated financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable Allowances
We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses based on historical experience and other information available to management. The fees associated with display advertising are often based on “impressions,” which are created when the ad is viewed. The amount of impressions often differs between tracking systems, resulting in discounts on some payments. We maintain an allowance for potential discounts based on historical experience and other information available to management.
23
Goodwill
Goodwill is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review. Goodwill is evaluated using specific methods, including potentially, a discounted cash flows method to determine the fair value of a reporting unit and comparison of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The analysis necessarily involves significant management judgment to evaluate the capacity of an acquired business to perform within projections. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, determined by conducting a valuation, then the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Management performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value including goodwill. In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill is impaired, the goodwill carrying value will be reduced to its implied fair value through a charge to operating expenses.
Contingencies
We accrue for contingent obligations, including legal costs and restructuring costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As facts concerning contingencies become known we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters that are subject to change as events evolve and additional information becomes available.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.
Revenue Sources and Recognition
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we performed transactions with several partners that qualify as principal agent considerations. We recognize revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities, pursuant to revenue sharing agreements with advertising networks for advertising and with other partners for royalties on product sales.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, our revenue was generated from six principal sources: revenue earned from the sale of advertising on our websites, games, virtual currency, DSM campaigns, website development service and royalty revenue.
Advertising Revenue: Advertising and custom sponsorship revenues consist primarily of advertising fees earned from the display of advertisements and click-throughs on text based links on our websites myYearbook.com and Quepasa.com. Revenue from online advertising is recognized as impressions are delivered. An impression is delivered when an advertisement appears on pages viewed by members of the Company’s websites. Revenue from the display of click-throughs on text based links is recognized as click-throughs occur. Consistent with GAAP, we recognize advertising revenue from customers that are advertising networks on a net basis, while advertising revenues earned directly from advertisers are recognized on a gross basis. Sponsorship revenue is recognized over the time period in which the sponsorship on the website occurs. Approximately 63% and 3% of our revenue came from advertising during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Game Revenue: Game revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonable assured, and the service has been rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service has been provided to the player, we determine an implied obligation exists to the paying player to continue displaying the purchased virtual items within the online game of a paying player over their estimated life. The virtual goods are categorized as either consumable or durable. Consumable goods represent goods that are consumed immediately by a specific player action and have no residual value. Revenue from consumable goods is recognized at the time of sale. Durable goods add to the player’s game environment over the playing period. Durable items, that otherwise do not have a limitation on repeated use, are recorded as deferred revenue at time of sale and recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated average playing period of a paying player. For these items, the Company considers the average playing period that the paying players typically play the game, currently to be 18 months. If we do not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual goods from the consumable virtual goods for the specific game, we recognize revenue on the sale of the virtual goods for the game ratably over the estimated average playing period that paying players typically play the game. Any adjustments arising from changes in the average playing period would be applied prospectively on the basis that such changes are caused by new information indicating a change in the game player behavior patterns.
24
As the Company controls the game process and acts as a principal in the transaction, revenue for internally developed games is recognized on a gross basis from sales proceeds reported by pay aggregators which are net of payment rejections, charge-backs and reversals. The related games costs including the website hosting fees, advertising, marketing, administrative and payment services fees, and foreign taxes are recorded as cost of sales. The revenue from third party developed games is recorded net of revenue sharing payments and costs to the third party as the Company is considered to be acting as an agent in these transactions. Approximately 4% of our revenue came from games during the three months ended March 31, 2012. No significant game revenue was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Virtual Currency: Revenue is earned from virtual currency monetization products sold to our website users. These products include Lunch Money, credits on myYearbook, and “VIP” subscriptions and revenue is recognized as the products are consumed.
The Company also earns revenue from advertisement products from currency engagement actions (i.e. sponsored engagement advertisements) by users on all of our platforms, including cost-per-action (CPA) currency incented promotions and sales on our proprietary cross-platform currency monetization product, “Social Theater”. When a user performs an action, the user earns virtual currency and the Company earns product revenue from the advertiser. The Company controls and develops the Social Theater product and CPA promotions and acts as a principal in these transactions and recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis when collections are reasonably assured and upon delivery of the virtual currency to the users’ account. Approximately 33% of our revenue came from virtual currency revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012. No significant virtual currency revenue was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
DSM Revenues: We recognize DSM revenues over the period of the contest or as the services are provided. Approximately 0% and 92% of our revenue came from DSM campaigns both during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Effective November 2011 with the merger of myYearbook, the DSM product became a part of Social Theater, a cross platform, virtual currency product.
Website Development Revenue: We recognize website development revenues as the service is provided. Approximately 0 % and 3% of our revenue came from website development during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Royalty Revenue: Royalty revenue is generated as a percentage of product sales from certain partnership arrangements. We recognize royalty revenues on a net basis, as reported to us by third parties. One percent or less of our revenue came from royalty revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Operating Expenses
Our principal operating expenses are divided into the following categories:
• | Sales and Marketing Expenses: Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our employees engaged in sales, sales support, and marketing. |
• | Product Development and Content Expenses: Our product development and content expenses including costs incurred in the classification and organization of listings within our websites, including salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges, occupancy and support for our offsite technology infrastructure, bandwith and content delivery fees, and internet game development and maintenance costs, are charged to expense as incurred. |
• | Games expense: Our Games expenses represent the direct expenses for hosting, marketing, site fees, reporting and foreign taxes. |
• | General and Administrative Expenses: Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our executives as well as our finance, legal, human resources, and other administrative employees. In addition our general and administrative expenses include outside consulting, legal and accounting services, and facilities and other supporting overhead costs. |
25
• | Depreciation and Amortization Expenses: Our depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses which have consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization related to our property and equipment, and intangible assets. Currently the majority of our depreciation and amortization expense is attributable to tangible and intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of myYearbook and Quepasa Games. |
• | Acquisition and Restructuring Costs: Acquisition and restructuring costs include costs incurred related to the business acquisitions made by the Company and costs incurred in conjunction with the restructuring of the Company’s business processes. Acquisition costs include the fees for broker commissions, investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional services, proxy, printing and filing costs, and travel costs incurred by the Company during the acquisition process. Restructuring costs include employee termination and relocation costs recorded as incurred, and exit costs for the office closures. |
• | Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest earned, interest expense and earned grant income. We have invested our cash in AAA rated, fully liquid instruments. Interest income relates to our Notes Receivable discussed in Note 3 of our Consolidated Financial Statements and our cash balances. Interest expense relates to our Loan and Notes Payable discussed in Note 7 of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Earned grant income represents the amortized portion of a cash grant received from the Mexican government for approved capital expenditures. The grant is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the purchased assets. |

Non-GAAP – Financial Measures
The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measures in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparison. Our management uses and relies on the following non-GAAP financial measures:
EBITDA – Our management believes period-to-period comparisons of EBITDA helps identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of income or loss, or income or loss from operations. Our management recognizes that EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, particularly those items that are recurring in nature.
Adjusted EBITDA – Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period to period after removing the impact of changes to our capitalization structure, acquisition related costs, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA, like EBITDA, has inherent limitations because of the excluded items.
Bookings – Our management uses bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performances of our social games business. Our management recognizes that Bookings has inherent limitations because it does not reflect our receipt of payment from subscribers.
We have included reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measures, together with reconciliations to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between the Company and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - Non-GAAP
The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (or loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation. The Company excludes stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding non-recurring acquisition and restructuring expenses and the goodwill impairment charge. The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (loss), a GAAP financial measure:

Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) | $ | 672,937 | $ | 10,430 |
Bookings - Non-GAAP
The Company defines bookings as the total amount of revenue from the sale of virtual goods in our online games that would have been recognized in a period if we recognized all revenue immediately at the time of sale. We record the sale of durable virtual goods as deferred revenue and then recognize revenue over the estimated average life of the purchased virtual goods or as virtual goods are consumed. Bookings are calculated as revenue recognized in the period plus the change in deferred revenue during the period. For additional discussion of the estimated average life of virtual goods, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements – “Revenue Recognition Games”. The following table presents a reconciliation of bookings, a non-GAAP financial measure to Revenue, a GAAP financial measure for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including statements regarding:
● | Liquidity; |
● | Capital Expenditures; |
● | Growth of our business; and |
● | Expectations regarding mobile usage. |
31
All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the Brazilian Real and Mexican Pesos. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy.
There were no material changes in market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such 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 period covered by this report) due to the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting noted below.
(1) During the first quarter, the Company's Chief Operating Officer made material modification to payroll for 13 individuals without the knowledge of the Chief Executive Officer, or the Chief Financial Officer. Failure to obtain the appropriate approvals for modification to payroll records could lead to misappropriation of the Company's funds through unauthorized payroll changes.
(2) Through our acquisition of myYearbook in November of 2011, certain payment processes were adopted as part of the integration of the financial systems as it relates to employee expense reimbursement. A review of this process revealed that approximately 14 employees have Company issued credit cards. There was no procedure in place to ensure that (i) expense reports were being completed for all charges, (ii) the expense reports were being reviewed for valid business use and (iii) there was appropriate approval of the charges prior to the payment of the card balances by the Company. Failure to require and obtain accountability for expenditures could lead to misappropriation of the Company's funds.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
(1) We have implemented controls surrounding the processing of payroll changes that will ensure that no changes to the payroll systems can be made without the authorization of the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, payroll adjustments will be performed annually and will be approved by the executive management committee prior to any changes being made to the payroll system.
(2) We have implemented an expense reporting system to provide accountability of the charges that are being made to the Company's credit cards through a new expense report preparation, review and approval process. Failure to follow this new process will result in the loss of card privileges.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, other than those changes noted above required as remediation to the material weakness noted during the evaluation of controls as of the end of the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
