NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Augme Technologies, Inc. ("Augme", “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Augme's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 1, 2010.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period classification. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 as reported in Form 10-K have been omitted.
Revenue Recognition Policy
Augme will receive ongoing monthly license revenue from World Talk Radio, LLC. (“WTR”) where we will receive a percentage of WTR’s revenues into perpetuity. This is based on an agreement that closed in February 2010 resulting from a transaction whereby we transferred the business operation of our Internet Radio services to WTR. During the six months ended August 31, 2010, we recognized $91,368.23 in revenue per this agreement.
Accounting Standards Codification
In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which is codified in the ASC under Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC Topic 105”). ASC Topic 105 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). ASC Topic 105 shall be effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 105 during the third quarter of 2009.
Subsequent Events Accounting and Disclosure
During the second quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standards on subsequent events. This pronouncement establishes standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Subsequent events have been considered in this filing through October 13, 2010. See Note 5 – Subsequent events for details.

NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 31, 2009, the Company entered into to a binding letter of intent with World Talk Radio, LLC (“WTR”), an Arizona limited liability company, regarding the disposition of certain assets and liabilities related to the Internet Radio operations based in Tempe, AZ.
On February 25, 2010, the Company and WTR executed the final Asset Purchase Agreement in connection with the binding letter of intent.
As consideration for the sale of the assets of the Internet Radio operations, the Company will receive a perpetual royalty as a percentage of gross revenue collected by WTR, based on the following schedule:
January 1, 2010 – March 31, 2010 | - 5% of Gross revenues collected |
April 1, 2010 – June 30, 2010 | - 10% of Gross revenues collected |
July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2015 | - 15% of Gross revenues collected |
July 1, 2015 and after | - 5% of Gross revenues collected |
Management evaluated the future royalty payments and determined the cash flows are indirect. Management then performed an evaluation under FASB ASC 205-20 and determined there was no significant continuing involvement by Augme in the operations of the disposed Internet Radio component. Augme does not retain an interest and there are no existing contracts that would allow Augme to influence the operating or financial policies of the Internet Radio component.
Pursuant to accounting rules for discontinued operations, we have included the results for the comparable prior reporting period to present the activity related to the Internet Radio operations as a discontinued operation. Discontinued operations for the three months ended August 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:
| | For the Quarter Ended | |

NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In September 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved the Augme Technologies, Inc. 2010 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance our interests and those of our stockholders by enabling us to attract and retain persons of ability to perform services for us by providing an incentive to such individuals through equity participation in the Company and by rewarding such individuals who contribute to the achievement of our economic objectives. The Plan permits us to grant, for a ten-year period, stock options, restricted stock awards and bonuses of stock, collectively referred to in this discussion as “awards”. We will reserve 10 million shar es of our Common Stock for issuance to our directors, employees, independent contractors and consultants under the Plan. The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors, but the Board may appoint a committee of its members to administer the Plan. The Plan administrator has the authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to select persons to whom awards will be granted, referred to in this discussion as “Participants”, to designate the number of shares to be covered by each award, to specify the type of consideration to be paid, and to establish all other terms and conditions of each award.
In October 2010, we have a pending issuance of an aggregate of 300,000 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for the exercise of 300,000 options to one individual who is a former officer and director of the Company, which shares will be issued under a registration statement on Form S-8.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES TO THOSE STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS REFLECTING OUR CURRENT EXPECTATIONS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS AND THE TIMING OF EVENTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DUE TO A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DISCUSSED UNDER BUSINESS- RISK FACTORS NOTED IN OUR FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010 AS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
OVERVIEW
Founded in 1999, Augme Technologies, Inc. (”Augme”) provides Internet applications and services based upon marketing driven technology platforms that enhance the delivery of marketing communications through intelligent distribution to all Internet-enabled devices. Augme owns the “Method and System for Adding Function to a Webpage” portfolio of patents, which cover technical processes and methods which are an indispensable component of behavioral targeting – the automatic provision of customized content to individuals based on information such as past web activity, personal preferences, geography, or demographic data. Augme platforms enable Internet video broadcasting, Internet advertising, and mobile marketing – all aimed at increasing marketing return on investment (“ROI”) or monetizing aud io and video content delivery to Internet-enabled devices.
In 2009, Augme initiated a comprehensive business growth strategy aimed at fully leveraging the value of its technology and patent portfolio by accelerating the advanced development of technology platforms that apply the most valuable aspects of the patents.
In an effort to support Augme’s new business strategy, and in conjunction with the repositioning of other corporate assets earlier in 2009, Augme executed a Letter of Intent, effective December 31, 2009, to dispose of certain tangible and intangible assets and certain liabilities and to transfer certain obligations related to our Internet Radio services. This transaction transferred the business operations of our Internet Radio services to World Talk Radio, LLC, an Arizona based limited liability company (“WTR”) to be owned and operated by VoiceAmerica.
The disposition of the Internet Radio operations resulted in a reduction in our expenses, enabling management to focus all available resources on the corporate strategy defined in 2009 that includes an expanded IP licensing structure as well as supporting the development and further commercialization of marketing driven technologies. Furthermore, as part of the strategy to streamline operations and to create non-encumbered revenues to support growth businesses, we will receive a perpetual royalty as a percentage of gross revenue generated by WTR for as long as the new entity provides Internet radio services.
With the disposition of the Internet Radio operations effective December 31, 2009, we are managing three newly defined operating divisions in the high growth markets of mobile marketing (AD LIFETM), video content delivery (BoomBox®) and ad network provisioning (AD SERVETM). These three divisions are branded under “Augme” – derived from the verb Augment: to make something greater by adding to it. The Augme branded portfolio offers products and services based upon marketing driven technology platforms that enhance the delivery of marketing communications through intelligent distribution to all Internet-enabled devices.
AD LIFETM (“Augme Mobile”) is our interactive platform to provide marketers, brands and advertising agencies the ability to create, deliver, manage and track interactive marketing campaigns targeting mobile consumers through traditional print advertising channels. AD LIFETM continues to validate its growth plan of becoming the premier mobile marketing provider for the world’s largest consumer package goods (CPG) companies and their marketing agencies. By integrating the AD LIFETM platform within the marketing technology function of these formidable clients, we anticipate highly annuitized growth as the platform is utilized across multiple brands under a single master contract. AD LIFETM is experiencing significant momentum, evidenced by our success with Fortune 500 CPGs as clients and some of the most common household brands, where we were able to compete successfully against major corporations for these clients. Our websites are located at www.augmemobile.com and www.augme.com and include a complete overview of our technology.
Our indirect sales channel partnership strategy continues to show activity and growth for AD LIFETM, highlighted by our working relationships with top traditional media purveyors in the US such as Graphic Packaging, News Corp’s News America Marketing (a division of News Corp), Clear Channel Outdoor, and OMD (a division of Omnicom Group). Technical partnerships are equally valuable, demonstrating our vision and leadership in mobile marketing solutions. Our recently announced collaboration with Inmar – the nation’s leading promotions transaction settlement provider – to enable consumer directed rebate charity program for Springer Mountain Farms. We also recently delivered the SmartSource mobile coupon program for News America Marketin g, offering top national brand coupons available exclusively through the mobile phone. In the coming months, we look forward to sharing more on the depth and value of these important indirect sales and technical partnerships.
In addition to CPG clients, the AD LIFETM platform has tremendous potential within specific vertical markets. In fact, our fastest growing product line is Augme Mobile Health, which is the AD LIFETM platform modified for the unique needs of the health care and pharmaceutical industry. Our HIPAA-compliant mobile interactive technology enables marketers of prescription-drugs and their agencies to communicate with health care providers and their patients instantly through mobile phones. We are currently doing business with three of the world’s top ten pharmaceutical companies that have combined net revenues of over $150 billion. Some of our other clients include six Fortune 100 companies, seven Fortune 200 companies and one Global Fortune 500 company.
Another feature of the AD LIFETM platform is BoomBox®, that delivers content straight to desktops and Internet-enabled devices, and provides managed access for live and on-demand Internet broadcasting and rich media advertising. After considerable thought around the competitive advantages of our offer in a dynamic video content delivery market, we concluded that BoomBox® represents an important component of our strategy as well as a channel for the application of our intellectual property. We believe the market for video content delivery is ready to increase significantly, as all major media companies and content owners of all sizes face increased pressure to monetize their video content to survive. BoomBox® offers an intelligent Broadcast as a S ervice (BaaS) platform, now newly packaged and designed specifically for marketers and content owners who want to sell, promote, extend and enhance their content through a viral Internet distribution model.
A further feature of the AD LIFETM platform is AD SERVETM (formerly Stream Syndicate) a digital advertising delivery platform that serves rich media and marketing communications to targeted destinations in a compatible, measurable and cost-effective manner. While ad serving is a highly competitive and crowded market, we believe the value of effectively competing is obvious as evidenced by the recent acquisition of AdMob by Google. AD SERVETM is now expanded to complement the AD LIFETM platform for a complete suite of marketing d riven technology products and services, and AD SERVETM represents an opportunity to directly apply some of the most valuable claims of our intellectual property.
We believe our mobile marketing solutions together with our patents that are critical to behavioral targeting will enable us to pioneer a new era in marketing and new media communications with Internet applications and services for targeted consumers and communities worldwide.
On August 16, 2010, Augme Technologies, Inc. received US Patent #7,783,721 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) entitled “Method and Code Module for Adding Function to a Web Page.” The patent was filed by the Company on September 4, 2007 and is a continuation of the Company's previously issued patent number 7,269,636. The Company believes that this issuance further establishes Augme as the owner of foundational Internet content targeting technology.
Additionally, on August 10, 2010, Augme Technologies, Inc. received a “Notice of Allowance” from the USPTO for its patent application entitled “Appliance Metaphor for Adding Media Function to a Web Page.” The patent was filed by the company on August 1, 2007 and is continuation of the Company’s previously issued patent number 7,269,636 and the Company expects the patent number and formal patent issuance by the USPTO in its fourth quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be 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 under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discl osed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2010. The Company has not materially changed its significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition Policy
Augme will receive ongoing monthly revenue from World Talk Radio, LLC. (“WTR”) where we will receive a percentage of WTR’s revenues into perpetuity. This is based on an agreement that closed in February 2010 resulting from a transaction whereby we transferred the business operation of our Internet Radio services to WTR. During the three months ended August 31, 2010, we have recognized $91,368.23 in revenue per this agreement
Measuring Fair Value
In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820 that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 were effective January 1, 2008. The provisions delayed the effective date of ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observation of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and th e lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category gene rally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Results of Operations
The discussion of the results of operations compares the quarter ended August 31, 2010 with the quarter ended August 31, 2009, and is not necessarily indicative of the result which may be expected for any subsequent period. Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in similar positions. We may not be successful in addressing these risks and difficulties.
Three Months Ended August 31, 2010 versus August 31, 2009
For the quarter ended August 31, 2010, revenues were $718,717 compared to $39,509 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009. The resulting increase is directly related to the added emphasis on providing mobile media and services. Production and service delivery costs were $251,711 for the August 31, 2010 quarter compared to $105,760 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009 reflecting additional costs related to human capital in order to facilitate the delivery of the new service oriented philosophy.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $2,180,524 for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 compared with $1,106,866 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009, an increase of 97%. The current quarter expense consisted primarily of approximately $799,000 of non-cash stock option expense, and approximately $1,200,000 of other expenses, including payroll, accounting, consulting fees and software development expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $244,257 for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 compared with $205,590 in the quarter ended August 31, 2009. Amortization expense increased to $174,805 for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 compared to $128,785 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009. Depreciation expense for the quarter ended August 31, 2010 decreased to $69,452 compared to $76,805 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009. The total increase in depreciation and amortization relates to the increased intangible assets associated with the New Aug, LLC acquisition last year.
Interest income was $7 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 versus interest expense of $574 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009.
Gain (loss) on derivative instruments was a loss of $0 for the three months ended August 31, 2010 compared to $63,682 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,956,340 compared to a net loss of $1,477,262 in the prior year quarter. The $479,078 increase in the net loss is a result of increased expenses, including non-cash expenses, as described above.
Pursuant to accounting rules for discontinued operations, we have included the results for the comparable prior reporting period to present the activity related to the Internet Radio operations as a discontinued operation. Discontinued operations for the three months ended August 31, 2009 are summarized as follows: Revenues of $671,858; Cost of Revenues at ($149,832); Operating Expenses of ($556,325), giving us a Loss from discontinued operations (before income taxes) of ($34,299).
Six Months Ended August 31, 2010 vs. 2009
For the six months ended August 31, 2010, revenues were $1,005,040 compared to $78,202 for the six months ended August 31, 2009, an increase of 1185%. The increase in overall revenues is due to increased customer demand for our Ad Life platform.
Production and service delivery costs were $485,038 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to $170,761 during the six months ended August 31, 2009 reflecting higher sales volume and higher overall costs related to telecommunications, higher cost of hosting our content as well as higher personnel costs associated with increased staffing and compensation levels.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3,722,581 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared with $1,999,709 for the six months ended August 31, 2009, a change of $1,722,872, or 86%. The change in expense primarily consisted of $1,026,479 of increased non-cash stock option expense, $962,990 due to increased staffing and employee benefits and outside contracting costs associated with an increased level of product development. Of these administrative expenses, $692,087 of the increase is related to increased staffing and compensation levels in sales and general management, and $348,065 in professional fees is related to investor relations, accounting, legal, software development, and other consulting fees and other expenses. Approximately $1,414,000 of the total selling, g eneral, and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2010 was non-cash in nature versus approximately $1,409,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2009, and consisted of the fair value accounting for stock options and certain expenses that were paid with shares of common stock of the Company.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $491,716 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared with $361,122 in the comparable 2009 period. Amortization expense increased to $350,025 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to $207,444 for the comparable 2009 period. Depreciation expense for the six months ended August 31, 2010 decreased to $141,691 compared to $153,678 for the six months ended August 31, 2009. The increase in depreciation and amortization relates to the increased capitalization of internal software and for the intangible assets related to the New Aug, LLC; and Radio Pilot acquisitions.
Interest income was $15 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 versus interest expense of $390 for the six months ended August 31, 2009.
Gain (loss) on derivative instruments was a loss of $0 for the six months ended August 31, 2010 compared to a loss of ($548,452) for the six months ended August 31, 2009.
For the six months ended August 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,694,279 compared to a net loss of $3,220,782 in the comparable prior year period. The $473,497 increase in the net loss is a result of increased direct expenses and increased selling, general and administrative expenses including non-cash expenses, as described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital, which is defined as current assets less current liabilities, decreased by $36,198 to a working capital surplus of $312,133 as of August 31, 2010 compared to a working capital surplus of $348,331 as of February 28, 2010. We have utilized our cash resources from the beginning of the year to fund operations. This was offset by signed investor agreements resulting in a substantial increase in receivables, and also decreased current liabilities through the recognition of deferred revenues. These results served to increase our working capital surplus.
As of August 31, 2010, we had a cash balance of $350,995 and we used cash of $1,266,578 to fund our operating activities during the six months ended August 31, 2010.
Based on the amount of capital we have raised since November 30, 2009 and the potential to raise additional capital from the exercise of warrants and options and the sale of additional common stock if required, we believe that we will have enough cash flow from operations and financing activities to support our business for at least the next twelve months. In fact, we believe that we have the capital necessary to implement our growth strategy in our core businesses and ensure a vigorous effort in protecting our intellectual property. However, no assurances can be made that we will have adequate capital or be successful in raising additional financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company or at all if our future financial results are not in line with our expectations.
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management. Words such as "anticipate," "expect," "intend", "plans," "believe," "seek," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual actions or results may differ materially. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those noted in the documents incorporated herein by reference. Particular attention should also be paid to the cautionary language appearing elsewhere in this report. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law. Readers should, however, carefully review the risk factors included in other reports or documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to our future cash needs and the effect that changes in economy reflect in the capital markets. Historically, we have had access to capital in the equity markets on an acceptable basis. Refer to Item 2 (“Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”) for discussion of new financing in the period ended August 31, 2010.
As of October 12, 2010 we did not hold any derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while maximizing investment income and minimizing risk. As of August 31, 2010, we had $350,995 in cash and cash equivalents including short-term investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Due to the short duration of these financial instruments, we do not expect that a change in interest rates would result in any material loss to our investment portfolio.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that 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, regardless of how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this re port, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer), who also serves as our principal financial officer and our Corporate Controller of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, in both capacities as principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and several of our accounting functions are performed by internal employees with limited oversight by a professional with accounting expertise. Our Chief Executive Officer is not a Certified Public Accountant.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009, and continuing into the new fiscal year, the Company has taken tangible steps to address certain deficiencies in disclosure controls and procedures. These steps include adding two new members to the Board of Directors with extensive experience in accounting and financial operations: Shelly Meyers, Chairwoman of the Board and John Devlin, Board Member. The Company is committed, under Board direction, to ensure that adequate disclosure controls and procedures are in place. The Company fully intends to remedy our existing control deficiencies, including hiring the necessary personnel, subject to having adequate finances as may be needed to address our internal control weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Other than as set forth above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Tacoda, Inc., AOL, LLC, Time Warner, Inc., and Platform-A, Inc.
In 2007, Augme filed a lawsuit against Tacoda, Inc. in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, alleging infringement of Augme-owned U.S. Patent Nos. 6,594,691 (“Method and System for Adding Function to a Web Page”) and 7,269,636 (“Method and Code Module for Adding Function to a Web Page”). We previously reported this proceeding in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on July 9, 2010. We also reported in such Form 10-Q our complaint filed against AOL, LLC in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, for infringement of our trademark BOOMBOX RADIO and our First Amended Complaint filed against AOL, LLC, Time Warner, Inc. and Platform-A, Inc., for trademark infringement relating to our word-mark BOOMBOX RADIO, and infringement of our U.S. Patent Nos. 6,594,691 and 7,269,636. Per court order dated April 14, 2009, the case was transferred to the Court where our complaint against Tacoda, Inc. for infringement of our U.S. Patent Nos. 6,594,691 and 7,269,636 is pending. In our case against Tacoda, Inc., AOL, LLC, Time Warner, Inc. and Platform-A, Inc., Judge Robert W. Sweet endorsed a letter on August 26, 2010 that was dated August 17, 2010, requesting that the Court assign to Magistrate Judge Ronald L. Ellis the above action for settlement purposes.
Yahoo! Inc.
On November 16, 2009, Augme filed a Complaint against Yahoo! Inc. for patent infringement relating to U.S. Patent Nos. 6,594,691 and 7,269,636, which patents relate to methods and systems for delivery of selected content from a network to a web page visitor. The matter is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. C-09-5386 EDL. The remedies available to Augme, if successful, include an injunction prohibiting any infringing actions, an award of damages adequate to compensate for the infringement, and costs of the action. We previously reported this proceeding in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on July 9, 2010
A settlement conference was held on July 28, 2010. An order was issued by Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. Laporte directing that the parties attending the settlement conference be members of management with full knowledge of the case and full authority to settle. It was also ordered that all proceedings relating to the settlement conference were to be held confidential, that all information disclosed between the parties would be subject to the strict confidentiality requirements of settlement conference practices, and that this confidentiality would carry on subsequent to the meeting.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in this report that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
We have a history of losses and negative cash flows from operations and we may not be profitable in the future.
We had a loss of $1,956,340 for the quarter ended August 31, 2010, a loss of $8,378,499 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, and a loss of $5,325,510 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009. We had an accumulated deficit at August 31, 2010 of $31,168,847. Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and net income is dependent, among other things, on the acceptance of our products in the marketplace, market conditions, cost control, and our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms. The financial statements included elsewhere in this document do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Furthermore, developing and expanding our business will require significant additional capital and other expenditures. Accordingly, if we are not able to increase our revenue, then we may never achieve or sustain profitability.
Although we have been able to meet our operating requirements since August 31, 2010 and received approximately $500,000 of additional financing, we may need to receive additional capital to continue our operations beyond the next twelve months.
Cash Flow and Capital Availability Risk.
Financing may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that the proceeds of any future financings will be sufficient to meet our future capital needs.
Stock Volatility and Securities Litigation Risk.
The trading price of our Common Stock could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to business or other factors, many of which are beyond our control. As long as the trading price of our common shares is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common shares will be subject to the “penny stock” rules.
Management Ability to Function as a Team and Lack of Operating History.
There can be no assurance that management will function successfully as a management team to implement our business strategy. Our performance is dependent on the services of our management as well as on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate other key employees in the fields of engineering, marketing and finance.
Future Advertising and Competition in the Mobile Device Market Risk.
Newer technology may render our technology obsolete which would have a material, adverse impact on our business and results of operations. We may also be required to collaborate with third parties to develop our products and may not be able to do so on a timely and cost-effective basis, if at all.
Information Technology, Network and Data Security Risk.
Our business faces security risks. Our failure to adequately address these risks could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation. Computer viruses, break-ins, or other security problems could lead to misappropriation of proprietary information and interruptions, delays, or cessation in service to our customers.
Partnering Risk.
We rely on certain technology services from third party service providers, and there can be no assurance that these third party service providers will be available to us on acceptable commercial terms or at all.
Investment in Technological Innovation and Regulatory Oversight Risk.
If we fail to invest sufficiently in research and product development, then our products could become less attractive to potential customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. A number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other mobile phone services covering issues such as user privacy, “indecent” materials, freedom of expression, pricing content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Adoption of any of these regulatory requirements might impact our ability to deliver increasing levels of technology innovation due to the competition for available financial resources.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In June 2010 as further described on our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated June 14, 2010, we agreed to issue to one individual who is an officer and director an initial grant of five-year options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Vesting of these options will occur according to the following schedule: 500,000 vested immediately upon grant, 500,000 vested over a one (1) year period starting on June 8, 2010, 500,000 vested over a two-year period starting on June 8, 2010, and 500,000 vested over a three- year period starting on June 8, 2010. We will also issue an aggregate 225,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock according to the following schedule: 6,250 shares at the end of each thirty-day period during the initial term of the Employment Agreement and for the participation in se curing either cumulative revenues in any fiscal year, an intellectual property agreement related settlement agreement, intellectual property related license agreement except for licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business, or an asset sale during the period of employment (each a "Stock Acceleration Event"), we will, for each $10 million that the Registrant receives as a result of any Stock Acceleration Event, issue 75,000 restricted shares of common stock, which will reduce by the same amount the balance of undelivered shares owed as part of the issuance of an aggregate 225,000 shares. We also sold to this individual 25,000 restricted shares of the Registrant's common stock at $1.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. This purchase entitles the individual to 3-year warrants exercisable for an aggregate 12,500 shares of the Registrant's common stock at $1.25 per share. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemptions from regis tration set forth in Section 4(2) and Regulation D. We based such reliance upon factual representations by the recipients of the shares to us regarding their investment interest and sophistication, among other things.
Also in June 2010, we had issued a total of 100,000 shares of Common Stock to one institution in lieu of a $100,000 equity investment in the Company. This purchase entitles the institution to 3-year warrants exercisable for an aggregate 50,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock at $1.25 per share. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemptions from registration set forth in Section 4(2) and Regulation D.
