EFACTOR GROUP CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated unaudited interim financial statements of EFactor Group Corp. formerly known as Standard Drilling, Inc., (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) 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 (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014.
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. 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 December 31, 2013 as reported in the Company’s Form 10K have been omitted.
Description of Business
EFactor Group is a holding company with the following operations;
·
EFactor.com provides a full-featured social network for entrepreneurs. EFactor.com provides a platform that enables access to a network of contacts, registration for networking events, advisory consulting, various business tools and a broad range of services and information.
·
EQmentor is an online professional development company organized in 2007 that provides working professionals 24/7 access to a custom-matched mentor, a global cross-industry peer community, and repositories of knowledge to empower high performance in the workplace.
·
MCC International (“MCC”), a public relations and communications agency. MCC was founded in 1988. The agency is based in the United Kingdom and promotes through enhancement of company's reputation utilizing print and social media news outlets, focusing on upper tier emerging technology and science companies, as well as professional service organizations, from entrepreneur start-ups and spin-offs to global consumer brands.
The Company currently maintains its corporate office in San Francisco, California.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The EFactor Corp., EQmentor and MCC. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Note 2. Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is new and has no history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
10
The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3. Notes Payable and Line of Credit
Notes payable
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued sixteen convertible unsecured short term notes payable to individuals totaling $885,282. These notes bear annual interest of 12%, mature within a period ranging from two (2) months to ten (10) months from issuance and are convertible into common shares at prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.00 per common share. The Company issued a total of 224,353 shares with the notes and the relative fair value of the shares amounting to $233,904 was recognized as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the notes. The Company evaluated the embedded conversion features within the convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded conversion feature should be classified as equity, except for those relating to two convertible notes, as further discussed below. Additionally, the instruments were evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features. The Company determined that the convertible notes included a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $389,674 which was also recognized as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the notes.
Two of the notes issued during the three months ended March 31, 2014 included reset provisions on the conversion price if certain events occur. Specifically, the terms of the notes provided that the conversion price of $1.00 will reset to $0.50 if the Company’s securities offering falls below $1.00 per share or if the securities offering is not completed by February 28, 2014. This resulted in a derivative liability being recognized at the issuance date amounting to $525,632 with a corresponding charge to debt discount for the full amount of the notes amounting to $267,417 and the balance of $258,215 to derivative loss On February 28, 2014, the reset provisions in these notes were triggered and the conversion price reset to $0.50 per share. Consequently, the derivative liability was marked to market on such date and an additional derivative loss of $301,677 was recognized. The fair value of the derivative liability at the re-measurement date amounting to $827,309 was credited to additional paid in capital. The derivative liability was valued using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions:

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company recognized $939,686 of interest expense due to the amortization of debt discounts on all convertible and unsecured short term notes.

Odom Line of Credit
On June 7, 2013, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Charles Odom, the lender, in the amount of $750,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, the lender shall make loans to the Company from time to time commencing on the date of the Agreement and shall continue for a period of twenty four (24) months thereafter ending June 7, 2015. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has drawn $475,000 from the line leaving a current available balance of $275,000. There was no activity on the Odom line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As required by the Agreement, the Company also issued 118,750 shares to the lender, proportionate to amounts drawn, which was recognized as deferred financing fees of $475,000 and amortized over the term of the line of credit. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, $69,322 was amortized into interest expense. As of March 31, 2014, $196,558 has been amortized into interest expense. All amounts drawn from the line of credit are subject to annual interest of 15% and will mature within a period of 12 months or within 14 days after the Company has a capital raise with proceeds of $10 million, whichever is earlier. The line of credit is secured by all of the assets of the Company. We have been advised by the lender that, due to extenuating circumstances, it is not currently able to provide us with additional advances under the line of credit.
Wells Fargo - Line of Credit

The amount of the line of credit is $500,000 with a provision for over-limit drawdowns. The current over-limit drawdown at March 31, 2014 is $135,005. Interest is charged at a rate of 3.5% per annum. We have drawn down $635,005 as of March 31, 2014. There was no activity on the line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Note 4. Other long-term obligation
In connection with the acquisition of MCC, the Company acquired a long term liability related to a previous recapitalization of MCC. Specifically, MCC entered into an arrangement with its creditors during 2010, in what is referred as a “Company Voluntary Arrangement” (“CVA”), in order to protect MCC from any creditor action. In connection with the arrangement, the Company is required to make monthly fixed payments to a trustee of $2,275 (£1,500 GBP).These payments are scheduled to end in February 2019.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance or financial condition. Such statements are only predictions and the actual events or results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. The historical results set forth in this discussion and analysis are not necessarily indicative of trends with respect to any actual or projected future financial performance. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
On February 1, 2013, we entered into an Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement (which we refer to as the Exchange Agreement) with EFactor, a Delaware corporation, and certain shareholders of EFactor (which we refer to as the Share Exchange), pursuant to which 20 holders of approximately 70% of the outstanding common stock of EFactor (the “Original Sellers”) agreed to transfer to us 6,580,250 shares of common stock of EFactor in exchange for the issuance of: (a) 50,000,000 shares of our common stock; (b) 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (c) an additional 22,231,155 shares of our common stock upon the effectiveness of the 1:40 reverse stock split of our common stock (the “Additional Shares”). The Share Exchange closed on February 11, 2013. The Company issued the Additional Shares to the Original Sellers in several tranches during the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued an additional 16,448,841 shares of our common stock in exchange for an additional 29.0% of EFactor’s outstanding common stock (for a total ownership of 99.0% of EFactor’s common stock). We expect to issue an additional 400,910 shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2014 to acquire the remaining 1.0% of EFactor’s outstanding common stock (for a total ownership of 100% of EFactor’s common stock).
As a result of the Share Exchange, EFactor became our majority-owned subsidiary. We are now a holding company where currently the majority of our operations are conducted through our EFactor.com website. The Company also owns, operates and administers certain assets related to distributing online and offline content and has interests in a subsidiary that conducts business operations such as EQmentor, our public relations firm, MCC International and certain other intellectual property as more fully discussed herein.
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Historically, our operating expenses have exceeded our revenues. For our two most recent fiscal years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, we have incurred net losses of $5.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. As in the prior fiscal years, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 we incurred a net loss of $3,909,910, and our operating expenses consisted primarily of the following:
·
Cost of revenue, which consists primarily of the cost of services including applied labor costs and benefits expenses, maintenance, facilities and other operating costs associated with our revenues;
·
Salaries and wages, which consist primarily of common stock and cash, issued for services; and
·
General and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of office rent and other administrative costs including professional fees.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
We believe the following accounting policies are our critical accounting policies because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require critical management judgments and estimates about matters that may be uncertain. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are presented net of discounts. In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Where arrangements have multiple elements, revenue is allocated to the elements based on the relative selling price method and revenue is recognized based on the Company’s policy for each respective element.
The Company applies judgment with respect to whether it can establish a selling price based on third party evidence. The Company does not have any product offerings that would be considered multiple deliverables; therefore the pricing model is determined based on competitor prices for similar product offerings. When it is unable to establish selling price using this method, the Company determines its best estimate for deliverables by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, it’s pricing practices, profit margin, prices it charges for similar offerings, sales volume, geographies, market conditions, and the competitive landscape.
The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of the following services:
•
Member Fees — The Company hosts a variety of events worldwide which consist of both networking and informational piece solely for its members. In addition the Company sells various membership packages and products to its members that provides them access to premium services via the EFactor.com website. Revenue from member services is recognized ratably over the contractual period, generally from one to twelve months.
•
Sponsorships — The Company generates revenues from Sponsors in a variety of ways. Sponsors may be provided with exposure to the Company's members, either through placement or short write-ups in newsletters, on event invitations or by participating as an Event Sponsor at one of the Company's events where a Sponsor may provide access to its products or service (booth/stall) or by being a speaker or panelist at an event that fits in their industry. This revenue is recognized over the specific event timeline, which varies from a single day event or a longer-term promotional event over a series of weeks.
•
Public Relations — We provide market and brand awareness consulting services, targeting high and emerging technology and science companies, as well as professional service organizations that help get recognition within the practiced community and provide an explicit company identity.
•
Advertising — Visitor demographics and time spent on a website are the primary drivers behind advertising-based revenue models for internet properties. When a user clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicked on through the Company’s application (CPA basis) this constitutes derived revenue for the Company. Proceeds from such arrangements are recognized over the period in which the advertisements are displayed on the websites.
•
Advisory Services —The Company promotes and makes available advisory and consulting services to members for the purpose of support, introduction guidance and general mentoring of members in their pursuit of their entrepreneurial objectives, for which fees are charged. These revenues are recorded when services for the transactions are determined to be concluded, generally as set forth under the terms of the engagement or when the sundry milestones have been completed after the defined services are performed. Transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of costs directly associated with the transaction, are deferred and recognized in the same period as the transaction revenue.

Transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of costs directly associated with the transaction, are deferred and recognized in the same period as the transaction revenue. Amounts billed or collected in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include significant changes in the business climate, declines in our operating results, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess potential impairment by considering present economic conditions as well as future expectations
We review goodwill for impairment by performing a two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is to measure the goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes valuing all the tangible and intangible assets of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying amount.
Calculating the fair value of a reporting unit and the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill requires significant judgment. The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in either step of the goodwill impairment testing process, such as the estimated future cash flows of reporting units, the discount rate used to discount such cash flows, or the estimated fair value of the reporting units’ tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, could significantly increase or decrease the estimated fair value of a reporting unit or its net assets. There was no impairment charge for the period ended March 31, 2014.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock option grants. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires us to make assumptions and judgments about variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of our common stock, the expected term (the period of time the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of our stock, a risk-free interest rate, and dividends. We use the simplified calculation of expected term described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, and volatility based on an average of the historical volatilities of similar companies, as we do not have a history of a publicly traded stock price. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the options will be based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant

Foreign currency and foreign currency transactions
Balance sheet accounts of MCC International located in United Kingdom are translated from Sterling (GBP) into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains or losses related to net assets located in the United Kingdom are recorded as unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency) are included in general and administrative expense — net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income
Comprehensive Loss
There are components of comprehensive loss other than net loss that the Company has incurred as it relates to foreign currency, and accordingly the Company now presents a comprehensive income and loss for the periods presented.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the Three months ended March 31, 2013
Revenue
Our revenue from the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was $116,545 compared to $188,762 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. All of our revenue was derived from member payments, event fees, annual event packages, public relations and advertising revenue along with advisory fees, sponsorships and revenue shares with strategic partners. This decrease of approximately $72,000 in revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue from mentoring fees as a result of our transition in April 2014 to a new website with improved technology. The increase in public relations is attributable to reporting for a full three months of activity from subsidiary MCC International which we acquired in February 2013.
The table below sets forth the amount of revenues we have recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:
|
| three months ended March 31, | |
|
| 2014 | 2013 |
Member Services | $ 11,130 | $ 10,005 | |
Advertising | 11,879 | - | |
Advisory Services | 1,437 | 136,562 | |
Public Relations | 92,099 | 42,195 | |

| $ 116,545 | $ 188,762 |
During 2014 we continued to add value to the VIP membership, a premium membership that allows members to get discounts on webinars, events and our library of content (Knowledge) and have marketing campaigns on a regular basis amongst our growing member-base to increase the number of VIP members. We see such premium memberships as a potential substantial growth area for revenue. In addition to the VIP premium membership, we introduced our EScore system during the fourth quarter of 2013 and made ongoing improvements to its underlying technology in the first quarter of 2014. The EScore system is a unique benchmarking system that allows Entrepreneurs to measure their strengths and weaknesses in five areas: Finance, Technology, Leadership, Sales & Marketing and Social Value. Once started, it provides guidance to the Entrepreneur and gives them actions and questions to further their skills and/or match them to other members that may fill a gap in their expertise and knowledge. EScore will enable the Company to bring additional products and services to a member’s attention at the time they are working on that specific area. We intend to add other premium membership services going forward based on products and services our group companies can offer specifically to our membership in the coming year.
Our mentoring and advisory fees are derived through EMentoring which we are now offering to our members directly in the coming year. In addition the Company has obtained Event Sponsors for specific events as well as Sponsorships from companies that wish to gain exposure to our membership base. We will continue to add some retargeted advertising in 2014, assuming we receive the additional working capital we require.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2014 the Company expanded its third party services and products offering to its members. The key attribute to be a third party provider is to have a product or serviceoffering that can provide a direct benefit to our entrepreneurial membership base. Consideration for the Company’s negotiation activities for these group discounts to our membership requires these third party providers to remit a portion of their proceeds to the Company. The Company recognizes only the cash received from these third party providers as revenues in the month received.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses increased by $1,281,208 to $2,428,702 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, from $1,147,494 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. These increases were primarily due to the increase in stock based compensation to $1,355,598 in 2014 and an increase of approximately $70,000 for legal, accounting and other filing expenditures in 2014 related to our common stock offering.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $987,935 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to $168,386 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. In the three month period ended March 31, 2014 our interest expenses included interest on notes payable we issued to meet our capital and operating requirements along with the amortization of $939,686 for the amortization of share issuance costs relating to shares issued in connection with certain of our notes payable as part of the consideration provided to lenders for such loans. These notes will be converted to equity where possible and/or will be repaid. We believe we will repay or convert into common stock all outstanding notes subject to the raising further capital and increasing revenues over the course of the next 18 months.
Derivative Loss and Loss on Conversion of Debt
The Company incurred a loss from derivative transactions during the first quarter of 2014 of $559,892, as two of our convertible notes payable had reset provision based on certain capital events which did not transpire. This is discussed more fully in Note 3 of the Company’s financial statements. There was no derivative activity in 2013.
In connection with the satisfaction of one of our notes and the conversion of the note into shares of our common stock the fair market value of the shares issued was approximately $62,000 at the time of conversion, this was approximately $49,926 in excess of the carrying value of this debt instrument, and therefore we recorded a charge during the first quarter of 2014 for loss on conversion of debt for this amount.
Net loss
Our net loss increased to $3,909,910 from $1,127,118, for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013. The increase in net loss compared to the prior year period is primarily a result of an increase in stock based compensation and amortization of debt discount associated with share issuance costs relating to shares issued in connection with certain of our notes payable as part of the consideration provided to lenders for such loans, as described above. As we grow we need to continue to attract top-notch personnel, this increases our payroll costs to compensate for these additional employees and the use of our equities securities as compensation has helped reduce the demand for cash to secure the employment of key personnel, which increases our operating expenses and consequently our net loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the three month period ended March 31, 2014 because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of March 31, 2014 was $63,900 and our monthly cash flow burn rate, that now includes EQmentor and MCC International, has increased to approximately $200,000, excluding professional fees and consultants on an as needed basis. As a result, we have significant short-term cash needs. These needs historically have been satisfied through proceeds from the sales of our securities and/or issuance of promissory notes. We are expecting to reduce the need for such short term financing as we continue to build our revenues through both acquisitions and organic growth. (See “Cash Requirements” below). In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
Cash Requirements
We had cash available of $63,900 as of March 31, 2014. Based on our revenues, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate, around $200,000, excluding professional fees and consultants on an as needed basis, we will need to continue borrowing from our shareholders and other related parties, and/or raise money from the sales of our securities, to fund operations.
On June 7, 2013 we entered into a revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) with an accredited investor for an amount of up to $750,000. Under the terms of the Line of Credit, the lender has agreed to advance to us for a period of 24 months ending on July 7, 2015 such amounts as we may request up to $750,000. All sums advanced will bear interest from the date each advance is made until paid-in-full at a rate of 15% per annum. Each advance will be due and payable in full 12 months following the day each advance is made. In addition, should we consummate a capital raise, that when aggregated with any preceding capital raise results in $10 million of gross proceeds (excluding amounts advanced under this line of credit) (the “Capital Raise”), all amounts due and payable under Line of Credit will become due and payable 14 days after the consummation of such Capital Raise. In addition to the repayment of each advance, we shall issue to the lender a total of 187,500 shares of restricted common stock upon the full draw down of the line. As of March 31, 2014 there was issued 118,750 shares of restricted common stock based on the current advances to date. The number of Restricted Shares issued will be pro-rated according to the amount of the advance. In connection with the Line of Credit, we entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with the lender, whereby we granted to lender, as collateral for our obligations to be performed under the Line of Credit, a first priority security interest in all property held by us. As of March 31, 2014, we received advances under the line of credit totaling $475,000. We have been advised by the lender that, due to extenuating circumstances, it is not currently able to provide us with additional advances under the Line of Credit. We believe that once the lender’s extenuating circumstances has been resolved, we will be able to obtain additional advances under the Line of Credit.
On November 7, 2007, EQmentor obtained a line of credit from Wells Fargo. The amount of the line of credit is $500,000 with a provision for over-limit drawdowns. The line of credit has a fifteen year term and interest on the line of credit accrues at 3.5% per annum. The line of credit is secured by certain assets, including the personal residence of the former majority shareholder of EQmentor, Inc. As of at March 31, 2014, the current over-limit drawdown for the line of credit was $135,005. We have drawn down approximately $635,000 from the line of credit as of March 31, 2014, which is the maximum amount that can be drawn down from this facility.
15
The Company has been able to satisfy short term needs through the sale of securities to individual accredited investors, over the past year. Even though management has had success in the past in generating funds from these sundry sources of capital, there can be no assurance or certainties that we will be successful in procuring these types of proceeds in the future.
We expect to expend approximately $300,000 over the course of 2014 in connection with development EScore and our website overall and the expansion of our business. In addition, to strengthen our ability to generate higher revenues and profitability we intend to acquire strategically complementary businesses to significantly build our membership base and product/service offerings. The targeted businesses are either producing cash or sufficiently close to breakeven in order to not increase our burn rate. Additionally, we are closely monitoring and controlling our expenses.
To enhance our long term objectives for growth and profitability we have recently entered into a placement agent agreement with Monarch Bay Securities, LLC to raise gross proceeds of $6,000,000 through a best-efforts registered offering our common stock. We expect to complete this offering by May 31, 2014.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operations
We had net cash used in operating activities of $784,930 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $291,540 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the period in 2014, the net cash used consisted primarily of our net loss of $3,909,910 offset by amortization of debt discount of $939,686, depreciation of $55,638, which was for of our website, and stock related expense of $1,355,598.
Investments
We had net cash used in investing activities of $59,850 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $53,967 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 the net cash provided by investing activities related to expenditures associated with building our website and increasing in the infrastructure and architecture needed to support the growth in the member base. We expanded our range of servers. During 2014 we will look to move our entire server set to the cloud which we believe will provide a cost saving per month.
Financing
Our net cash provided by financing activities of $885,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $321,369 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the period in 2014, our financing activities consisted solely of $885,282 in proceeds from notes payable. For the same period in 2013, our financing activities consisted of $195,573 in proceeds from notes payable, $127,002 in proceeds from common stock offset by $1,206 in repayment of debt.
Capital Expenditures
We expect to expend approximately $100,000 in connection with development of our website and the expansion of our business during the next three months. We anticipate these expenditures will be funded by the Company’s operating cash flow along with the proceeds from additional private investments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2014, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated under which it has:
·
a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit;
·
liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets;
·
an obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument; or
·
an obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to the Company, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with the Company.
Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because our business is new and has no history and we have relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. Our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
We have suffered losses from operations and have a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address our operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. There are no assurances that we will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. Our financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4
Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment.Based on the evaluation described above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report because we did not document our Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 internal controls and procedures.
As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures such as implementing and documenting our internal controls procedures.
(b)
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Eric Bobo vs. Izzy Justice, EQmentor and The E-Factor Corp., Superior Court of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Business Court, Case No. 12 CVS 21548.
The above-captioned case seeks damages for breach of contract, violation of wage and hour laws, unjust enrichment, and breach of fiduciary duty related to the alleged treatment of Eric Bobo’s stock and stock options during the merger between EQmentor, Inc. and EFactor. In addition to alleging breach of contract and wage and hour violations relating to purported compensation in the form of stock and stock options, the complaint also alleges that Izzy Justice, the manager and majority shareholder of EQmentor, breached his fiduciary duty by engaging in “self-dealing” and failing to present the transaction between EQmentor and EFactor to a shareholder vote. We believe EFactor is wrongly named in this case, as it was not party to the agreements between Mr. Bobo and Mr. Justice and had not been informed of any such arrangements by Mr. Justice or his counsel during either due diligence or other merger disclosures and discussions and did not owe any fiduciary duty to Mr. Bobo. On or about April 23, 2013, Mr. Bobo, EQmentor, Mr. Justice and the Company entered into a settlement agreement wherein as it relates to the Company, the Company is obligated to pay Mr. Bobo $50,000 (the “Settlement”) before July 1, 2013. On May 1, 2013 Mr. Bobo filed a Notice of Dismissal with the North Carolina Business Court dismissing all of his claims in the case against EFactor without prejudice. Previously, on July 19th and August 22nd the Company made a $15,000 and $5,000 payment respectively on this outstanding amount, with the understanding that the balance of payments will be completed by December 31, 2013. The final settlement payment was made on January 7, 2014 and the Company has no further obligations regarding this matter. On January 23, 2014 Mr. Bobo dismissed all of his claims against EFactor in this lawsuit with prejudice.
