Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of EFactor Group Corp. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) have been prepared by the Company’s management in conformity 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“Form 10-K”), which was filed on April 14, 2015.The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
On April 28, 2015, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 175,000,000 to 300,000,000.
On July 14, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock at a ratio of 1 for 60 (the “Stock Split”), which Amendment became effective on July 17, 2015. Unless otherwise noted, all references herein to the number of common shares, price per common share or weighted average number of common shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split on a retroactive basis.
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, 2014 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

The Company currently maintains its corporate office in New York, New York.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2015. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the Company is new, has limited history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 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.
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. 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

On April 15, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of RocketHub, the Company assumed as part of the transaction seven convertible notes with an aggregate face value of $255,000 bearing an interest rate of 0.25%.

Basis of Presentation
These acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets which either arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is considered goodwill. The Company’s results of operations included the activities of Member Digital, HT Skills, GroupCard, ELEQT, Robson Dowry, and RocketHub from their respective dates of acquisition. The Company recorded the purchase based on the quoted market price of the stock for the purchase.
Purchase Price Allocation
In accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations, the Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair values as of their respective acquisition dates. The total estimated purchase prices were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value allocation is preliminary and is subject to change based on evaluations of the assets currently being performed by the Company.

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.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company generated revenue primarily from sales of the following services:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 we made significant progress in several critical areas which will help us drive future company growth.
19 |
In our Social Networks business segment, our multiple social networking products (EFactor and ELEQT) were restructured with a focus on operational efficiencies, and we were able to both lower costs and increase our year-over-year revenues. Our combined Social Networks business segment increased revenue by approximately 1300% to $576,205 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $40,894 in same period in 2014 and increased by approximately 1600% to $1,061,362 in the first half of 2015 compared to $63,903 in same period in 2014. We have seen many advertisers purchase advertising campaigns in the first quarter across the social networks division.
On the event side of our business, in the first six months of 2015 we created and monetized 30 member networking events, seminars and webinars three times more than in the same period last year. These events took place in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, in turn growing our international engagement, client and membership base.
In addition, our proprietary EScore benchmarking tool continues to play an important role in guiding our members through valuable small business growth opportunities, and also in aiding in the qualitative ranking of a member’s business attractiveness. With the help of FreedomLab, with whom we have a three year partnership, we will deliver a revised beta version of EScore by the end of 2015. The new version will become a key area of member interactivity, increased revenue opportunities and member guidance towards running a successful business.
Our Business Services segment grew revenue a little over three times to $458,565 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 and grew approximately four times to $977,049 in the first half of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. We benefited from members in our social networks purchasing products or services from other companies in the EFactor Group, such as Member Digital, which has seen a 250% increase in new clients acquisition to its SubHub platform via co-marketing with bothEFactor.com andELEQT.com.
Our U.K. training subsidiary broke new ground on enrollments and a new suite of education service offerings in the period, lifting both our customer levels and margins. There were approximately 120 learners in the program as of June 30, 2015, an increase of approximately 41% from approximately 85 learners as of March 31, 2015.
We believe that the ongoing leveraging of our connected product offerings, strong client relationships, growing international market presence, and skills and assets present within our group will lead to continued growth and significant revenue opportunities as well as member audience growth, and ultimately most importantly: a unique value proposition for entrepreneurs.
Social Networks Revenue:
We generate revenue from our social networks division as follows:
Member Fees. We have, among others, a VIP package which offers members access to premium services such as all our events, airport lounges, VIP lounges and VIP content on the site. We also hold a variety of networking and informational events for our members to which members can gain a subscription and provide varying other membership packages to our members that allow them access to premium services via our website.
In addition, with our acquisitions which we completed since July 2014, we are building a series of products and services with those acquired companies’ offerings that are suitable and affordable to our members. Such packages will be brought into the mix and will be offered to members through promotions as well as prompts.
Sponsorships. We generate revenues from sponsors in a variety of ways. Sponsors can gain exposure to our members either through placement or short write-ups in newsletters and event invitations or by sponsoring one of our events where they may provide access to their products or services (booth/stall) or by serving as a speaker or panelist at an event relating to their industry. This may also include contributing content to our website.
Website advertising. We gained added revenue from selling banner advertising spots along with and click-throughs with well-known brands that target our entrepreneurial membership.
Third-party revenue sharing. In addition to our own products, we will offer products of third parties to our members provided they are suitable and will offer a discount on their retail value to our members. We will receive a small portion of the revenue from such third party services.

Business Services Revenue:
We generate revenue from our business services division as follows:
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.
Branding and Design. We provide our clients with graphic design, marketing and corporate positioning to help improve their clients’ visual identity and packaging of our stakeholders products and services.
Advisory Services. We promote and make available advisory and consulting services to members for support, introduction guidance and general mentoring of members in their pursuit of their entrepreneurial objectives, for which fees are charged.
Education. We are a fully-accredited provider of high-quality apprenticeships and work-based vocational learning and are also an experienced welfare-to-work job-broker. Our key drivers include a business model that is inherently flexible and highly scalable, to our clients human capital needs so they can respond rapidly to their evolving employment requirements. Some of the apprenticeships include, but not limited to; business administration, customer service, leadership and management, childcare and nursery assistants. health and social care, and hair and beauty.
Funding
Funding revenue is derived from performance based commissions on total funds raised by a customer. Customers set a fundraising goal, if the goal is met or surpassed a 4% commission is calculated. If a fundraising goal is not met, an 8% commission is calculated. In addition, 4% is charged for transactions costs, and is considered to be pass-through revenue directly tied to merchant processing costs.
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 of the two-step goodwill impairment test 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 of the two-step goodwill impairment test is required 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 June 30, 2015.
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 plan to 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
The functional currency of MCC International, HT Skills, Member Digital, and Robson Dowry is the pound sterling (GBP) while the functional currency of GroupCard BV is the Euro. Balance sheet accounts of these entities are translated from their functional currencies 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 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 other income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.
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
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014
Revenue
Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,065,757 compared to $148,586 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of $576,205 from our social networks division and $458,565 from our business services division. 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. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the acquisitions of MCC, HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT and Robson Dowry.
The table below sets forth the amount and type of revenues we recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Nonmonetary transactions
Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC No. 845 Nonmonetary Transactions (“ASC 845”), barter transactions with commercial substance are recorded at the estimated fair value of the products exchanged, unless the products received have a more readily determinable estimated fair value. The fair value of the product and services received during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $147,625.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses increased by $2,194,840 to $3,280,464 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $1,085,624 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to the increase in cost of revenue of $215,874, an increase in sales and marketing of $104,766, an increase in general and administrative costs of $1,868,713, and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $38,265. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loss on forgiveness of liabilities of $32,778.
Interest Expense
Our interest expense decreased to $466,919 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $475,215 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. In the three months ended June 30, 2015 our interest expenses included interest on notes payable we issued to meet our capital and operating requirements along with the amortization of approximately $278,000 for the amortization of debt discount and 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 raising further capital and increasing revenues over the course of the next 18 months.

Net Loss
Net loss increased by $4,153,673 to $5,582,126 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $1,428,503 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net loss compared to the prior year period is primarily a result of an increase in revenue of $917,171 offset by the increase in operating expenses of $2,194,840, an increase in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,299,967, an increase in amortization of warrants of $274,346, and an increase in derivative loss of $309,987. These increases are partially offset by the decrease in interest expense of $8,296.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014
Revenue
Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,069,398 compared to $265,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of $1,061,362 from our social networks division and $977,049 from our business services division. All of our revenue was derived from member payments, event fees, annual event packages, mentoring fees, public relations revenue along with advisory fees, sponsorships and revenue shares with strategic partners. The increase in revenue was primarily due to having a full year of revenue from MCC and the acquisitions of HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT and Robson Dowry.
The table below sets forth the amount and type of revenues we recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Nonmonetary transactions
Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC No. 845 Nonmonetary Transactions (“ASC 845”), barter transactions with commercial substance are recorded at the estimated fair value of the products exchanged, unless the products received have a more readily determinable estimated fair value. The fair value of the product and services received during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $179,325.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses increased by $2,347,188 to $5,861,514 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, from $3,514,326 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to the increase in cost of revenue of $347,081, an increase in sales and marketing of $244,134, an increase in general and administrative costs of $1,707,588, and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $81,163. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loss on forgiveness of liabilities of $32,778.
Interest Expense
Our interest expense decreased to $705,271 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to $1,463,149 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014. In the six month period ended June 30, 2015 our interest expenses included interest on notes payable we issued to meet our capital and operating requirements along with the amortization of $420,674 for the amortization of debt discount and $101,897 for 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 raising further capital and increasing revenues over the course of the next 18 months.
Net Loss
Our net loss increased by $2,492,615 to $7,831,028 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 from $5,338,413 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net loss compared to the prior year period is primarily a result of an increase in revenue of $1,804,267 offset by the increase in operating expenses of $2,347,188, an increase in the loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $2,609,141, and an increase in amortization of warrants of $289,069. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $757,355, a decrease in loss on conversion of debt of $49,926, a decrease in interest expense of $757,878, and a decrease in derivative loss of $130,328. As we grow, we need to continue to attract top-notch personnel. This increases our payroll costs to compensate for these additional employees. The use of our stock 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
Overview
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2015 was $262,424 however approximately $167,361 of these funds are held in trust for our funding operations clients i.e. crowd funding investors and our monthly cash flow burn rate, that now includes the operations of our numerous recent acquisitions, has increased to approximately $250,000, excluding professional fees and consultants on an as needed basis. The Company has engaged the service of an investment banking firm to assist in the company’s core business infrastructure development in which a portion of the proceeds will address these operational items. Historically we have satisfied our short-term cash needs 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 capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 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.
We have incurred recurring losses from operations and have a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are taking steps to raise additional funds to address our operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations. We have devoted a significant amount of time to raising 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.
Cash Requirements
We had cash available of approximately $262,424 as of June 30, 2015. Based on our revenues, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate, around $225,000, 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 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 bear interest from the date each advance is made until paid-in-full at a rate of 15% per annum. Each advance was due and payable in full 12 months following the day each advance was 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 the Line of Credit) (the “Capital Raise”), all amounts due and payable under the Line of Credit will become due and payable 14 days after the consummation of such Capital Raise. A portion of the net proceeds from this offering will be used to repay the Line of Credit. As of June 30, 2015, we have issued 118,750 shares of common stock based on the current advances. The number of shares issued in connection with the Line of Credit 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 the lender, as collateral for our obligations under the Line of Credit. As of June 30, 2015, we had received advances under the Line of Credit totaling $475,000. As of June 30, 2015, we assigned $115,000 against this debt. We have been advised by the lender that, due to extenuating circumstances, it is not currently able, nor likely to be able in the future, to provide us with additional advances under the Line of Credit.
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.
Cash Flows from Operationg Activities
Net cash used in operating activities of $1,948,647 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $1,355,997 in cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the net cash used consisted primarily of the net loss of $7,831,028 offset by non-cash expenses of approximately $5,441,063 consisting of amortization of debt discount of $420,674, amortization of finance costs of $101,897, stock and option based expense of $1,378,438, loss on derivative valuation of $2,609,141, derivative related interest expense of $445,815, warrant expense of $289,069, and depreciation and amortization of $196,029. Additionally, changes in assets and liabilities consisted of increases in unbilled revenue of $315,266, accounts receivable of $208,573, other current assets of $6,107, accounts payable of $700,703, accounts payable – related party of $306,864, deferred revenue of $74,108, and deferred rent of $8,364. These increases are offset by decreases in accrued expenses of $223,925 and funds held in trust of $11,729.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities of $27,571 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $128,184 in cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 the net cash provided by investing activities related to cash acquired from acquisition of $169,588 offset by $142,017 in cash paid for expenditures associated with building our website and increasing the infrastructure and architecture needed to support the growth in the member base along with migrating our range of servers to a more robust environment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $1,864,937 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $1,591,829 in cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the financing activities consisted primary of $874,014 in proceeds from borrowings, $983,075 in proceeds from the issuance of shares and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $14,060, offset by repayment of notes payable of $6,212. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our financing activities consisted of $1,143,452 in proceeds from borrowings, $478,520 in proceeds from the issuance of stock, offset by the repayment of notes payable of $30,143.
24 |
Capital Expenditures
We had cash used in investing activities which included our capital expenditure program along with cash associated with our acquisitions of $117,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $330,381 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the net cash used in investing activities related to expenditures associated with building our website and increasing the infrastructure and architecture needed to support the growth in our member base. We migrated our range of servers to a more stable environment. Capital expenditures consisted of $142,017 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, mainly used in website enhancements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that we consider material.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this Item of Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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 June 30, 2015. 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.
25 |
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.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.
