Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company has had recurring operating losses since inception and is dependent upon financing to continue operations. These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence should immediate and short term financing options not be available. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue its existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Currently the Company has minimal cash on hand and few material assets outside key intellectual property. In addition, the Company has not established nor maintained a recurring source of revenues to sufficiently cover or offset any current, anticipated or planned operating costs to allow it to continue as a going concern. It is the intent of the Company to find additional capital funding, grow revenues organically through new program launches and marketing campaigns and/or a profitable business venture to acquire or merge.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

From 2004 until 2008 the Company was in the business of developing, deploying and marketing semi-custom and customized branded prepaid and prepaid card solutions. Due to continued losses from operations during 2009, the Company began winding down its principal business operations and commenced a search for a new business venture. The Company has no material assets and significant liabilities. Former board members and management were unsuccessful in securing a new business venture for the Company and on January 22, 2009, transferred control of the Company to Ronald N. Vance, former company counsel, to seek for and, if possible, locate a suitable operating business venture willing to take control of the Company.

On August 12, 2009, the Company changed its status from shell Company to operating Company. Pursuant to business operations re-established in 2009, the Company restarted operations. The core focus of the restarted operations is marketing prepaid card products, payment reporting products and a suite of personal financial products and services. As a result, and at this time, the Company does not plan to reinstate its previous program management status, and will instead rely on third party processors, program managers and banks to coordinate, issue and manage prepaid card portfolios on behalf of the Company. The Company will focus on the marketing of network branded third party card programs that can adopt our payment reporting platform within their technical infrastructure. By leveraging existing card platforms and portfolios, we should be able to aggregate more payment reporting customers. The Company has also begun negotiations to engage businesses in the sales process. The targeted focus of the Company is to partner with businesses which deliver non-bank personal and financial services such as insurance agencies, micro-loan centers, rent to own, local/regional credit unions and check cashing businesses. As of the date of this report, the Company has been engaged in a host of negotiations for various credit products, budgeting tools, payment reporting products, strategic arrangements and operating agreements. While various new agreements are in place, it is indeterminable how such agreements may positively or adversely affect the business. As a result, the Company, while attempting to generate newfound revenue streams, will continue seeking opportunities for outside business ventures and raising funds to aid in launching new opportunities, work to begin generating organic revenues and developing strategic alliances and payment reporting partnerships.

Recent Developments

For the first quarter ending March 31, 2013, all primary operational efforts have been prioritized and focused on finalizing the technical infrastructure for the planned rollout of the Company’s payment reporting engines. This effort continues as a spill over from the delays associated with the restarted operations dating back to 2009. Failures to secure sustained funding for operations have hampered operational efforts and delayed product rollouts. The shortfalls in funding are the direct result of three groups over the course of a two year period failing to deliver on promised funds under signed placement agreements. Despite working capital shortfalls and operational delays, the Company continues its ongoing technical build out, and the Company has continued working closely with new partners and associations in efforts to position the suite of products and services for a late 2013 calendar year launch. Throughout the first quarter and subsequently thereafter, the Company also engaged in signing new agreements, terminating existing agreements and restructuring deals to help ensure the viability of the entity long-term. Key management personnel have continued entering into new distribution, strategic partnerships and operating agreements in support of the payment reporting and financial products business that is now the backbone of the payment reporting business. The Company has refocused the operational strategy on products and services while allowing any prepaid card to become a conduit for payment reporting services and other financial products currently being marketed by the Company. The Company has refocused away from needing to be a marketer of prepaid cards and instead prefers to align with any prepaid card issuer in efforts to develop a rapport for payment and recurring payment reporting. During the first quarter, the Company made limited progress in marketing the primary products and services in support of continued operations. In continuing with the direction outlined throughout the past two years, the Company continued to focus on developing marketing partnerships to facilitate the distribution of prepaid debit cards, personal financial services and payment reporting services, all of which are designed to assist consumers in managing individual personal finances, including spending, budgeting and financial awareness. As part of the roadmap to further solidify the Company’s payment reporting efforts, the Company has revamped its operational strategy and is no longer seeking a customized network branded card program. The Company has elected to use third party providers for all card-based products and will continue to evaluate any need for a fully customized program and renewed program management status. Based on the economics related to a full custom card solution, the third party provider gives the Company flexibility and access to networks and partnerships that the Company alone could not underwrite nor fund.

The Company believes that this strategy will be able to offer more predictable low cost model that will provide our customers and strategic distribution partners the flexibility of working with wide reaching portfolio program channels and will better align cardholders with a suite of financial tools that include personal budgeting tools, online card balance viewing, bill payment, convenient reloading options online or at retail and a financial management spending analysis tool. We piloted a similar program in the past, but without specific target or installed cardholder base, the Company is uncertain when we may anticipate launching this program in conjunction with our payment reporting product and budgeting tools.

In conjunction with continuing efforts to expand operations and generate revenue, the Company spent additional time in the first quarter on aligning the payment reporting business with key industry associations, industry experts and governmental agencies in order to foster long term alliances.

In addition, a number of initiatives undertaken during the first quarter by the Company have failed or taken longer than expected or anticipated. Capital constraints coupled with key management time constraints, increasing regulatory requirements, lengthening approval timeframes and vendor payment shortfalls and increasing legal procedures all contributed to slower than planned marketing as well as delays in generating organic revenues in the first quarter. The Company expects that organic revenues will be generated in the second half of 2013 to allow the Company to hire third parties to staff and support the program development and primary growth objectives.

Throughout the first quarter of 2013, the Company was contacted by several vendors demanding payment for prior services. The Company, as of the date of this report, is underfunded and is nearly insolvent. The financial commitments entered into in 2010 and 2011 were intended to provide improved funding over the coming quarters and was expected to allow the Company to remain focused on the core business and delivery of the payment reporting personal financial products and services. However, slow delivery of working capital and delays and misrepresentations in funding overall have resulted in the near collapse of the Company. The Company continues to negotiate with new vendors, key vendors and prior service providers. Key management personnel have accrued wages and continue to accrue wages and accept limited or partial payments for services. In addition, key management personnel are underwriting many operational expenses of the Company and are accruing those expenses as well. It is anticipated that key management personnel and key vendors and prior service providers shall be reimbursed accordingly once additional working capital is invested. A continued and substantial backlog of liabilities remains on the records of the Company, but management remain confident that those liabilities will be paid, negotiated, reduced or addressed in the coming quarters. Of the major items outstanding, an area of concern is the lapsed settlement agreements with former directors Knitowski, Dang and their related parties, Dang, Ecewa, Curo and Sagoso. The Company has not been in contact with certain principals as listed above for some time. Since the agreements have lapsed the Company has had intermittent contact with certain principals in the three months ending March 31, 2013. It is expected that the Company will re-engage those parties listed above in the coming quarter to arrange cash payments or alternative arrangements in order to mitigate any languishing liabilities to those particular parties.

Key Accounting Policies

Key accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. There were no changes to our key accounting policies for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2013

In the first quarter of 2013 we were focused on the technical infrastructure and executing distribution, marketing and strategic agreements. Delays in delivering marketing and services coupled with delayed vendor payments caused us to miss the opportunity to generate any material revenues during the quarter. As a result the Company had $1,591in revenue for the quarter compared to revenue of $400 for the same quarter last year.

Revenue

Revenue from continuing operations was $1,591 and $400 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase of $1,191 or effectively 297%. As previously discussed, we revised the business strategy to focus on restarting operations and take the company into financial services marketing and move away from direct program management.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales was $190 and $221 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The decrease was nominal and incudes some nominal operating cost associated with the commencement of programs and operations.

The resulting gross profit was $1,401 and $179 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management expects gross profit margin to remain unpredictable and volatile as the new operations begin. Fluctuations can be anticipated due to uncertainties in accessing markets coupled with higher product costs mixed with the volatility of entering markets where products have been commoditized. Management believes that by eliminating previously high fixed processing and banking costs associated with program management, the Company can focus on improving margins by delivering organic revenues through new marketing partnerships and alliances.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $293,510 and $237,961 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase of $55,549. The key components of our first quarter 2013 operating expense are salaries and wages ($90,060) professional fees ($9,000), general and administrative ($106,450) and stock based compensation ($88,000).

Salaries and wages expense were $90,060 and $67,500 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase of $22,560 or 33%. The Company has three full time employees, all of whom are working largely under accrued wages and non-cash compensation until such a time certain milestones are achieved or the Company has the funds to pay cash compensation or until the Company and employees mutually agree to new compensation terms.

General and administrative expenses were $106,450 and $159,461 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $53,011 or 33%. The decrease resulted from the decrease in outside services as the Company refocused and its efforts on the current business plan.

Net loss

We incurred net losses of $315,404 and $308,298 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase in the net loss of $7,106. As we continue our general business operations, organic growth in conjunction with strategic alliances and a potential reverse acquisition or merger opportunity, we expect to improve on net losses when 2014 is compared to 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2013, cash totaled $958 as compared with $473 at December 31, 2012, resulting in a decrease of $485 in cash and cash equivalents. Working capital deficit was ($3,388,202) at March 31, 2013, as compared with working capital deficit of ($3,189,949) at December 31, 2012. This decrease in working capital was a result of using new funds and stock to fund operations and related expenses.

The Company is currently being funded through a mix of equity investments and convertible note instruments to supply working capital for operations. The Company has a substantial backlog of liabilities and will need to negotiate and reduce liabilities in order to remain on a viable business path. If vendors, agents, suppliers and third parties are unwilling to agree to terms more favorable to the Company, there is likelihood that the liabilities could materially and adversely affect day to day operations. The funds invested and committed are primarily focused on driving business growth and not specifically earmarked to extinguish large tranches of debt or the backlog of liabilities. In event that the Company is unable to mitigate the affects of the liabilities, the Company may seek any and all necessary protections afforded under various state and federal laws. The Company plans to continue to collect equity investments and debt instruments for the remainder of 2013 in order to finance continued operations and to finance potential merger and/or acquisition investments. In an event where the Company faces immediate insolvency, the Company may pursue the sale of its intellectual property, which may or may not have marketable value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Stock-Based Compensation

"On June 30, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. On the effective date of this standard, FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) became the source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards for nongovernmental entities, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). FASB ASC significantly changes the way financial statement preparers, auditors, and academics perform accounting research."

"This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. If an accounting change results from the application of this guidance, an entity should disclose the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle in their financial statements. This new standard flattens the GAAP hierarchy to two levels: one that is authoritative (in FASB ASC) and one that is non-authoritative (not in FASB ASC). Exceptions include all rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, and certain grandfathered guidance having an effective date before March 15, 1992. This standard creates Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in FASB ASC."

"FASB Statement No. 168 is the final standard that will be issued by FASB in that form. It was added to FASB ASC through Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-02 on June 30, 2009. There will no longer be, for example, accounting standards in the form of statements, staff positions, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) abstracts, or AICPA Accounting Statements of Position. Instead, FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right. Instead, they will serve only to update FASB ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on changes made to FASB ASC."

Table of Contents

"FASB ASC is a major restructuring of accounting and reporting standards designed to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) by providing the authoritative literature in a topically organized structure. FASB ASC disassembled and reassembled thousands of nongovernmental accounting pronouncements (including those of FASB, the EITF, and the AICPA) to organize them under approximately 90 topics and include all accounting standards issued by a standard setter within levels A-D of the current U.S. GAAP hierarchy. FASB ASC also includes relevant portions of authoritative content issued by the SEC, as well as selected SEC staff interpretations and administrative guidance issued by the SEC; however, FASB ASC is not the official source of SEC guidance and does not contain the entire population of SEC rules, regulations, interpretive releases, and staff guidance. Moreover, FASB ASC does not include governmental accounting standards. FASB ASC is not intended to change U.S. GAAP or any requirements of the SEC."

Subsequent Events

The following material events occurred subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2013:

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures

Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable (not absolute) assurance that its objectives will be met. Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rules 13a — 15(e) and 15d — 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by the report.

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in this Report was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

With the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the Company also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on such evaluation, management concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
