Interim Financial Information
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These principles require 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2012 and its statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts of MeetMe and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), MeetMe Online S/S Ltda (formerly Quepasa Games S/S Ltda from March 2, 2011), and Insider Guides, Inc. (from November 10, 2011 until its merger into MeetMe, Inc. on January 1, 2012). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On June 30, 2012 the Company discontinued its game development and hosting operations. Accordingly, games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

MEETME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, approximately $840,000 for production office costs, staffing services, and acquisition costs related the acquisition of Quepasa Games and Insider Guides were reclassified from general and administrative expense to acquisition and restructuring costs, product development and content expense, and sales and marketing expenses. Prepaid advertising and deferred subscription revenue of $70,516 was reclassified from accrued liabilities to deferred revenue for the December 31, 2011 balance sheet. Reclassification adjustments for discontinued operations were made to the balance sheets and statement of operations for the periods presented.
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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 approximated $2.6 million and $5.5 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 the Company recorded approximately $2.3 million goodwill impairment charges related to the discontinuance of Quepasa Games operations. During the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company recorded approximately $1.4 million impairment charges related to goodwill of Quepasa Games operations

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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, customers (1) and (2) comprised 17.1% and 24.2% of total revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 customer (1), the Company's principal shareholder, MATT Inc., comprised 88% total revenues. Six customers comprised 69 % and 47% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 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 two principal sources: revenue earned from the sale of advertising on our websites, and from virtual currency products.
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. 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 55% and 9% of our revenue came from advertising during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Virtual Currency: Revenue is earned from virtual currency monetization products sold to our website users. These products include Lunch Money, Credits on MeetMe, and “VIP” subscriptions. 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. Effective November 2011 with the Merger of myYearbook, the DSM product became a part of Social Theater cross platform virtual currency product. Approximately 45% of our revenue came from virtual currency revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Approximately 91% of our revenue came from Social Theater cross platform DSM campaigns during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
In 2011, the Company’s revenues were generated from advertising, the DSM contest platform, website development, games internally developed and distributed, third party developed games introduced to the site, virtual currency, and royalty revenue.
Discontinued Operations from Quepasa Games
Game revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price was fixed or determinable, collectability was reasonable assured, and the service has been rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service had been provided to the player, we determined 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 were 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 was 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 considered the average playing period that the paying players typically play the game, to be 18 months. If we did not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual goods from the consumable virtual goods for the specific game, we recognized 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 controlled the game process and acted as a principal in the transaction, revenue for internally developed games was recognized on a gross basis from sales proceeds reported by pay aggregators which were net of payment rejections, charge-backs and reversals.
Games expenses represent the direct expenses for hosting, marketing, site fees, reporting and foreign taxes. Games product development and content expenses include salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges, and production office costs, were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred. Game exit costs include severance costs of terminated employees and exit costs of office closures and were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred.
Recent Issued Accounting Standards
We have implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact our consolidated 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 consolidated 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 5 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 | |||

Total liabilities assumed | (383,014 | ) | ||
Goodwill | 4,280,618 | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 4,209,251 |
The Company incurred approximately $381,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011.
On November 10, 2011, the Company, Merger Sub, and Insider Guides, Inc., closed the Merger. Insider Guides Inc. operated 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 the Company’s common stock (not including cash for fractional shares). Following the Merger, Merger Sub changed its name to Insider Guides, Inc. which later merged into MeetMe.
The purchase price was allocated first to record identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value and the remainder to goodwill as follows:

Note 3 —Discontinued Operations – Quepasa Games
The games development business of our Brazilian subsidiary, Quepasa Games, were discontinued on June 30, 2012 in order to streamline efforts to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and focus on the Company’s core social network business. In connection with this closure, the Company transferred the hosting responsibilities of its games Wonderful City Rio and Amazon Alive to third parties, Quepasa Games office in Curitiba, Brazil was closed and all Quepasa Games employees were terminated. The games business closure qualifies as a discontinued operation and accordingly the Company has excluded results for Quepasa Games operations from its continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. The following table shows the results of Quepasa Games included in the loss from discontinued operations:

Note 4—Notes Receivable
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 MeetMe’s exclusive right and license to market and distribute games developed by Hollywood to MeetMe 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 5—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 in 2011. Quepasa Games operations were discontinued on June 30, 2012 and accordingly a loss on impairment of goodwill of approximately $ 2.2 million was recorded as loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The translated value of goodwill for Quepasa Games varied 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 for Insider Guides, Inc.

Note 8— Long-term Debt
Subordinated Notes Payable
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: (i) MATT Inc. invested $5,000,000 in the Company and the Company issued MATT Inc. a subordinated promissory note due October 16, 2016 with 4.46% interest per annum (the “MATT Note”); (ii) the exercise price of MATT Inc.’s outstanding Series 1 Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $12.50 per share to $2.75 per share; (iii) the exercise price of MATT Inc.’s outstanding Series 2 Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $15.00 per share to $2.75 per share (see Note 10); and (iv) the Amended and Restated Support Agreement between The Company and MATT Inc. was terminated, which terminated MATT Inc.’s obligation to provide us with the use of a corporate jet for up to 25 hours per year through October 2016. Debt issuance costs of $24,580 related to this transaction have been capitalized within the other assets section of the balance sheet and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. The balance of deferred debt issuance costs was $11,392 and $13,505 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively and is included in other assets.

Loans Payable
On November 10, 2011 in conjunction with the acquisition of Insider Guides, Inc., the Company assumed loans payable consisting of a growth capital term loan and three equipment term loans. The loans payable are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. Under the Loan and Security Agreement Number 2 (“LSA2”) growth term and equipment term loans, dated December 13, 2010, principal and interest are payable monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.50% per annum, and the loans are due September 2014. Under the Supplemental Loan and Security Agreement (“SLSA”), dated November 21, 2008, principal and interest are payable in monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.60% per annum, and the loan was repaid by April 2012. Under the Supplement Number 2 Loan and Security Agreement (“S2LSA”) dated January 22, 2010, principal and interest are payable in monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.50% per annum, and the loan is due June 2013. On February 13, 2012, the loans payable and security agreements were amended and restated to include additional debt covenants. The amendment includes limitations of additional bank borrowing of $3 million and indebtedness for leased office equipment of $3 million. The amendment requires that the Company’s unrestricted cash and accounts receivable be greater than or equal to 200% of the borrowers indebtedness and the Company’s unrestricted cash be greater than or equal to the aggregate amount of interest that will accrue and be payable through the maturity date of loans payable and security agreement. At September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the amended loans payable and security agreements debt covenants.
Capital Leases
During the first quarter 2012, the Company executed two non-cancelable master lease agreements one for $1.5 million with Dell Financial Services, and one for $500,000 with HP Financial Services. Both are for the purchase or lease of equipment for our data centers. The HP Financial Services master lease agreement was increased to $1.5 million in the second quarter 2012. Principal and interest are payable monthly at interest rates of ranging from 4.5% to 7.99% per annum, rates varying based on the type of equipment purchased. The capital leases are secured by the leased equipment, and outstanding principal and interest are due respectively in January and March 2015.

Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
We lease our operating facilities in the United State of America, and Mexico, 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 federal law preempted the NYAG’s inquiry 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. On August 15, 2012, we entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with NYAG, agreed to pay $20,000 to NYAG, and agreed to comply with the State of New York laws and industry practices regarding certain e-mail marketing campaigns. The Company charged this expense to general and administrative expenses. The NYAG agreed to discontinue its investigation.
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. On August 3, 2012, the Plaintiff filed a Stipulation to Dismiss the case for reason of failure to effectuate service on either of the additional defendants. On October 2, 2012, the Court issued an order dismissing the case.
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 Company denied the allegations. On July 6, 2012, the EEOC found the complained unfounded and closed its file.
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 DismissalWithout 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. On June 25, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and made a $150,000 payment to the plaintiff for release of all claims and charged this expense to general and administrative expenses. Accordingly, the Court in the Central dismissed the case with prejudice on July 2, 2012.
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 $700,168 and $195,202 at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. The severance cost of payments requiring future service was measured at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaling approximately $0 and $550,000, respectively, and was amortized over the expected service period during 2012.
Note 10—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, (collectively “Harvest’). The new Series A shares were convertible at a conversion price per share based on the following: the lower of (i) $3.5785 or (ii), if the Merger of the Company and myYearbook closed, the lower of (A) 85% of the closing price of the Company’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 the Company’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”) to MATT Inc. for $5,000,000. MATT Inc. was an existing stockholder of the Company. The Series A-1 shares are convertible, at MATT Inc.’s option, into 1,479,949 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38, and have voting rights on as converted basis.
Note 11—Common Stock
The Company issued 445,106 shares of common stock in connection with the exercises of stock options for the proceeds of approximately $630,228 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (see Note 12). On March 2, 2011, the Company issued 348,723 common shares to former owners of XtFt’s owners) in connection with the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of XtFt (see Note 2).
Note 12—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.

On July 8, 2009, our 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, the Chief Executive Officer, 1,826,971 to Michael Matte, the Chief Financial Officer and 732,500 to Louis Bardov, the former Chief Technology Officer.
Note 13—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 8. The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were outstanding at September 30, 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 outstanding at September 30, 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(years): | 6.0 | |||
Expected dividend yield: | — | |||
Expected volatility: | 105.7 | % |
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 8). These warrants expire in October 2016 and were outstanding as of September 30, 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.
In September 2010, we granted warrants to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share as compensation to a consultant. 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 September 30, 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.

Company Overview
MeetMe, Inc. is social media technology company which owns and operates MeetMe.com and MeetMe mobile applications for Android, iPhone and iPad. Previously, the Company operated Quepasa.com which transitioned to Meetme.com in October 2012. Our mission is to be the best place to meet new people online. We develop mobile and web applications to make meeting new 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 networking will fundamentally transform how people discover one another and establish relationships in a mobile-first world.
Highlights for the third quarter of 2012 included:
· | As of September 30, 2012 registered users increased to 89.2 million, up from 84.6 million reported at the end of the second quarter of 2012, and up from 39.5 million reported at the end of the third quarter of 2011. |
· | Page views totaled 10.9 billion in the third quarter of 2012, sequentially up from 9.8 billion reported in the second quarter of 2012, and up from the 579 million page views in the same period of 2011. |
· | Visits totaled 384.5 million in the third quarter 2012, sequentially up from the 338.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2012, and up from the 30.2 million visits in the same period of 2011. |
· | In September of 2012, MeetMe surpassed 1 million daily active US users for the first time in its history. |
· | The MeetMe platform launched in Spanish and Portuguese in August and we anticipate the platform will have six languages available by year end. |
· | The Company announced the completion of our transition of Quepasa.com users to the MeetMe platform on October 8, 2012. |
Trends in Our Metrics
We measure activity on our sites in terms of monthly active users (MAUs), daily active users (DAUs), 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 month of measurement. We define a mobile MAU as a user who accessed one of our sites by a mobile application or by the mobile-optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet such as the iPad during the month of measurement. We define a DAU as a registered user of one of our platforms who logged in and visited our websites or mobile applications within the day of measurement. We define a mobile DAU as a user who accessed our sites by one of our mobile applications or by the mobile-optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet such as the iPad during the day of measurement. Visits represent the number of times during the measurement period that users came to the site or mobile applications for distinct sessions. A page view is a page that a user views during a visit.
In the quarter ending September 30, 2012, the MeetMe platform averaged 1.95 million mobile MAUs and 3.4 million total MAUs, as compared to 1.67 million mobile MAUs and 3.18 million total MAUs for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a net increase of over 750,000 total MAUs, or 24%, attributable to the successful rebranding promotions for the MeeteMe platform. Total MAUs for the combined platforms increased 3.04 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 1.59 million total MAUs for the single Quepasa platform in the quarter ended September 30, 2011. In the quarter ending September 30, 2012, the MeetMe platform averaged 1.11 million total DAUs, as compared 1.03 million total DAUs for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a net increase of approximately 80,000 total DAUs, or 8%. The Quepasa platform had approximately 703,000 and 152,000 total DAUs for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 there were no mobile applications or related mobile users for Quepasa.com.
24
Improving our mobile products and increasing mobile usage is a key priority that we believe is 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, and we also offer them virtual currency. We believe that people around the world will continue to increase their use of mobile devices, and that some of this mobile usage has been and may continue to be a substitute for use through personal computers. Currently approximately 60% of MeetMe daily active users access the site on mobile devices.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Growth trends in web and mobile MAUs and DAU 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.
Changes in user engagement patterns from web to mobile and international diversification also affect our revenue and financial performance. We believe that overall engagement as measured by the percentage of users who create content (such as status posts, messages, or photos) or generate feedback increases as our user base grows. We continue to create new apps and enhance existing apps to lift social sharing and increase monetization. The launch of additional languages to the platform facilitates international user growth.
Our revenue trends are also affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of advertisements we display and traditional seasonality. Social Theater is a growing revenue product for the MeetMe platform and on third-party sites. Social Theater growth is affected by large brand penetration, the ability to grow the advertiser base and advertiser spending budgets.
Our employee headcount decreased during 2012 as a result of termination related to process re-engineering and discontinued operations. We expect to leverage and supplement our current talent pool through managed growth. We intend to hire additional software engineers, other personnel with technology expertise and sales personnel to support domestic and international expansion.
Concentration of Credit Risk
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, customers (1) and (2) comprised 17.1% and 24.2% of total revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 customer (1), the Company’s principal shareholder, MATT Inc., comprised 88% total revenues. Six customers comprised 69 % and 47% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated 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), MeetMe Online S/S Ltda (formerly Quepasa Games S/S Ltda from March 2, 2011), and Insider Guides, Inc. (formerly known as IG Acquisition Company from November 10, 2011 until its mergers into MeetMe, Inc. on January 1, 2012). On June 30, 2012 the Company discontinued its game development and hosting operations. Accordingly games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. 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 allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, 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. 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.
25
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.
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, 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
Our revenue is generated from two principal sources: revenue earned from the sales of advertising on our websites and virtual currency products.
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. 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 55% and 9% of our revenue came from advertising during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
26
Virtual Currency: Revenue is earned from virtual currency monetization products sold to our website users. These products include Lunch Money, Credits on MeetMe, and “VIP” subscriptions. 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. Effective November 2011 in connection with the Merger with myYearbook, the DSM product became a part of Social Theater, a cross platform, virtual currency product. Approximately 45% of our revenue came from virtual currency product revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Approximately 91% of our revenue came from Social Theater cross platform DSM campaigns during the nine months ended September 30, 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 non-cash 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 non-cash share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges, occupancy and support for our offsite technology infrastructure, bandwidth and content delivery fees, and internet game development and maintenance costs, are charged to expense as incurred. |
• | General and Administrative Expenses: Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and non-cash 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. |
• | 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 4 of our Consolidated Financial Statements and our cash balances. Interest expense relates to our Loan and Notes Payable discussed in Note 8 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. |
27
Discontinued Operations from Quepasa Games
On June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued its games development and hosting operations. Accordingly games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Game revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price was fixed or determinable, collectability was reasonable assured, and the service was rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service had been provided to the player, we determined an implied obligation existed 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 were 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 was 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, were 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 considered the average playing period that the paying players typically play the game, to be 18 months. If we did not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual goods from the consumable virtual goods for the specific game, we recognized 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 have been 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 controlled the game process and acted as a principal in the transaction, revenue for internally developed games was recognized on a gross basis from sales proceeds reported by pay aggregators which were net of payment rejections, charge-backs and reversals.
Games expenses represented the direct expenses for hosting, marketing, site fees, reporting and foreign taxes. Games product development and content expenses included salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges, and production office costs, charged to discontinuing operations as incurred. Game exit costs include severance costs of terminated employees and exit costs of office closure expenses and were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2012 with the same period ended September 30, 2011
The three month and nine months discussions follow our November 2011 merger with myYearbook. The reader should understand that the 2012 increases in revenue and expenses reflect the operations of two platforms. The following table sets forth a modified version of our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss that is used in the following discussions of our results of operations:

Revenues
Our revenues were approximately $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $10.7 million or 1148% compared to $929,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily the result of increases of approximately $4.2 million and $976,000, respectively, in web and mobile advertising, and $5.5 million in virtual currency products revenues primarily due to the MeetMe platform (formerly myYearbook) acquired in November 2011. The revenues decreased approximately $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The sequential quarter net decrease is primarily the result of decreases of approximately $1.8 million in Social Theater advertising revenues net of a $346,000 increase in mobile advertising revenues. We earned no direct brand Social Theater revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from the Company’s principal shareholder, MATT Inc. We earned approximately $700,000 of Social Theater, formerly known as DSM, revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from AHMSA, which owns MATT, Inc. We do not expect that either MATT Inc. or AHMSA will run any Social Theater campaigns for the remainder of 2012.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $2.3 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $328,000 in 2011. The increases are primarily attributable to approximately $1.2 million of marketing and promotion costs for the rebranded platform, $950,000 in sales and marketing salaries, sales commissions, related expenses and stock compensation costs, and $151,000 of travel costs and office rent. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had 31 person full-time sales and sales support staff located primarily in the New York and New Hope offices, an increase of 27 staff primarily from the November 2011 Merger.
29
Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses increased approximately $6.4 million to $7.9 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $1.5 million in 2011. Increased salary, bonuses, related expenses and stock compensation of approximately $3.0 million accounted for 46% of the increase. In addition, we incurred an increase of approximately $1.9 million of third party content and delivery costs and $1.6 million of additional data center cost, website support, and production office costs accounted for 54% of the total increase. These increases are primarily attributable to the acquisition of myYearbook which brought an additional website, developers, and an expanded data center and production office. The migration of services from the Mexico service center and staff reductions decreased data center costs by approximately $240,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had 101 full-time and 8 part-time development staff located primarily in the New Hope office, a net increase of 93 full-time and 8 part-time staff primarily from the November 2011 Merger.
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.2 million to $2.0 million from the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $800,000 for the same period in 2011. The increases are primarily attributable to approximately $588,000 in salaries, bonuses, related expenses and stock compensation costs, $122,000 in insurance costs, $93,000 of travel costs, $229,000 in professional fees, a $20,000 litigation settlement, and $148,000 of office rent, utilities and administrative costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a 14 person full-time executive and corporate staff located primarily in the New Hope and West Palm Beach offices, a net increase of 9 staff primarily from the November 2011 Merger.
Stock Based Compensation: Stock based compensation expense from continuing operations, included in the operating expense categories discussed above, increased approximately $206,000 to $1,027,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $821,000 in 2011. Stock based compensation expense for discontinued operations, included in the loss from discontinued operations category, was approximately $220,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Stock based compensation expense represented 7% and 24% of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense: Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by approximately $928,000. The increase is due to the depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of myYearbook in November 2011.
30
Acquisition and Restructuring Costs: For the three months ended September 30, 2012 restructurings costs were approximately $354,000 and include the accrual of employee exit costs and employee relocation costs. No acquisition costs were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company incurred approximately $732,000 of legal and professional fees and travel costs during the acquisition of myYearbook and Quepasa Games during the three months ended September 30, 2011. No restructuring costs were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Revenues
Our revenues were approximately $35 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $30.2 million or 631% compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily the result of increases of approximately $16.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in web and mobile advertising and $11.5 million in virtual currency products revenues primarily due from the MeetMe platform. We earned $6 million of Social Theater revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the Company’s principal shareholder, MATT Inc. We earned approximately $4.2 million of social theater revenue, formerly known as DSM, and $120,000 of website development revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from AHMSA, which owns MATT, Inc. We do not expect that either MATT Inc. or AHMSA will run any Social Theater campaigns for the remainder of 2012.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $5.1 million to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $956,000 in 2011. The increases are primarily attributable to approximately $2.6 million in sales and marketing salaries, sales commissions, related expenses and stock compensation costs, $2.0 million of marketing and promotion costs primarily for the rebranded platform, and $500,000 of travel costs and office rent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had 31 person full-time sales and sales support staff located primarily in the New York and New Hope offices, an increase of 27 staff primarily from the November 2011 Merger.
Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses increased approximately $18.0 million, to $22.6 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $4.6 million in 2011. Increased salary, bonuses, related expenses, and stock compensation of approximately $8.6 million accounted for 48% of the total increase. Approximately $4.7 million of increased third party content and delivery costs and $4.74 million of additional data center cost, website support, and production office costs accounted for 52% of the total increase. These increases are primarily attributable to the acquisition of myYearbook which brought an additional website, developers, and an expanded data center and production office. The migration of services from the Mexico service center and staff reductions decreased data center costs by approximately $486,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had 101 full-time and 8 part-time development staff located primarily in the New Hope office, a net increase of 93 full-time and 8 part-time staff primarily from the November 2011 Merger.
32
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million, to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $2.6 million for the same period in 2011. The total increase is primarily attributable to increases of approximately $1.7 million in salaries, bonuses, related expenses and stock compensation costs, $385,000 of insurance costs, $264,000 of travel costs, $425,000 of professional fees, $170,000 of litigation settlement, $558,000 office rent, utilities and administrative costs, and $171,000 increase in uncollectable receivables. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a 14 person full-time executive and corporate staff located primarily in the New Hope and West Palm Beach offices, a net increase of 9 staff primarily from the November 2011 Merger.
Stock Based Compensation: Stock based compensation expense for continuing operations, included in the operating expense categories discussed above, increased approximately $500,000 to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $2.4 million in 2011. Stock based compensation expense for discontinued operations; included in the loss from discontinued operations category, decreased by approximately $355,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from 2011 for terminated employees. Stock based compensation expense represented 7% and 25% of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, there was $14.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years.

Revenues from discontinued games operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased approximately $79,000 to $840,000 from $761,000 in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 games expenses of approximately $1.0 million increased $63,000 from $969,000 in 2011. The games revenues and related games expenses for 2011 represented operations for less than five full months whereas the 2012 games expenses reflect six months of operation. The Wonderful City Rio and Amazon Alive games were launched in April of 2011 and May 2012, respectively. Games product development and content expenses decreased approximately $613,000 to $553,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $1,165,000 in 2011. The decrease in product development and content expense is due to reimbursements of specific production costs by a third party developer for the Amazon Alive game in 2012. Games exit costs of approximately $431,000 include severance costs of terminated employees and exit costs of office closure expenses. An impairment loss of goodwill of approximately $2.3 million was recorded at June 30, 2012 in conjunction with the decision to discontinue the Quepasa Games development business.

MeetMe had a positive working capital of approximately $11.6 million and $13.3 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively, which consisted primarily of trade receivables and cash. We have budgeted capital expenditures of $715,000 for the remainder of 2012, which will allow us to continue to grow the business given our member growth, by increasing capacity, improving performance and providing redundant backup for content. The Company expects to incur approximately $268,000 of cash expenditures related to the discontinuance of Quepasa Games operations for satisfaction of liabilities and exit costs of the office closure.

Non-GAAP – Financial Measures
The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with GAAP, as well as a non-GAAP financial measure. 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. 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 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 measure in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure 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 measure:
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 acquisition related costs, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items.
We have included a reconciliation 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 measure, together with the reconciliation 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 measure 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.
36
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation, non-recurring acquisition and restructuring expenses and the goodwill impairment charges. The Company excludes stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (loss) from continuing operations allocable to common shareholders, a GAAP financial measure:

New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
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; |
● | Anticipated number of languages on our platform by the end of 2012; |
● | Growth of our business; |
● | Continuing to make investments in technical infrastructure and the hiring of individuals with technology expertise; and |
● | Anticipations and expectations regarding mobile usage. |
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. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include users’ willingness to try new product offerings, the effectiveness of our mobile software on smartphones and tablets, unanticipated events which affect our ability to execute our plan to add languages to our platform, unexpected issues which could adversely affect usage on mobile devices and the willingness of our users to complete mobile offers or pay for virtual currency. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There was no material changes in market risks during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy.
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 weakness in internal controls over financial reporting noted below.
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 27 employees have Company issued credit cards. There was no procedure in place to ensure that there was appropriate approval of the charges prior to the payment of the card balances by the Company. Failure to require approval and obtain accountability for expenditures could lead to misappropriation of the Company's funds.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
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. New credit cards will be issued that will make the employees personally liable for payment. The new credit cards will be distributed in November 2012. Failure to follow the new process will result in the Company not reimbursing employee expenses.
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 September 30, 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.

* The confidential disclosure schedules are not filed in accordance with SEC Staff policy, but will be provided to the Staff upon request. The agreement contains representations and warranties, which are qualified by the following factors:
(i) | the representations and warranties contained in the agreement were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties and not as a means of establishing facts; |
(ii) | the agreement may have different standards of materiality than standards of materiality under applicable securities laws; |
(iii) | the representations are qualified by a confidential disclosure schedule that contains nonpublic information that is not material under applicable securities laws; |
(iv) | facts may have changed since the date of the agreement; and |
(v) | only parties to the agreement and specified third-party beneficiaries have a right to enforce the agreement. |
Notwithstanding the above, any information contained in a schedule that would cause a reasonable investor (or that a reasonable investor would consider important in making a decision) to buy or sell our common stock has been included. We have been further advised by our counsel that in all instances the standard of materiality under the federal securities laws will determine whether or not information has been omitted; in other words, any information that is not material under the federal securities laws may be omitted. Furthermore, information which may have a different standard of materiality would nonetheless have been disclosed if material under the federal securities laws.
