NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Snap Interactive, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, eTwine, Inc. and Snap Mobile Limited. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. We have not included certain information normally included in annual financial statements pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosure included herein is adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2013.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information contains all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and changes in cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results and the results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other period.
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, except for the following:
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 325-20, Cost Method Investments (“ASC 325-20”) to account for its ownership interest in noncontrolled entities. Under ASC 325-20, equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values (i.e., non-marketable equity securities) and are not required to be accounted for under the equity method are typically carried at cost (i.e., cost method investments). Investments of this nature are initially recorded at cost. Income is recorded for dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the noncontrolled entity subsequent to the date of investment. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions in the cost of the investment. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.
3. Restricted Cash
During 2012, the Company established a line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N. A. (“JP Morgan”) related to the Company’s corporate credit cards and placed a cash collateral guarantee of 105% of the monthly credit line of $100,000 in a certificate of deposit for twelve months as collateral. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $105,211 as restricted cash on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2013.
On January 11, 2013, the Company obtained a letter of credit from JP Morgan in the amount of $200,000, in favor of Hewlett Packard Financial Services Company (“HP”). This letter of credit expires on January 31, 2014 and has been increased to $270,000.
4. Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||

Total accounts receivable, net | $ | 333,182 | $ | 320,019 |
Credit card payments for subscriptions and micro-transaction purchases typically settle several days after the date of purchase. As of June 30, 2013, the amount of unsettled transactions due from credit card payment processors amounted to $157,826, as compared to $112,885 at December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2013, the amount of accounts receivable due from Apple Inc. amounted to $201,096, as compared to $201,859 at December 31, 2012. These amounts are included in our accounts receivable.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value framework under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement requirements are as follows:
● | Level 1: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |
● | Level 2: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and |
● | Level 3: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability. |
The following table summarizes those liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
June 30, 2013 (Unaudited) | December 31, 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Interest earned on debt securities is recorded to “Interest income, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company issued common stock warrants in January 2011 in conjunction with an equity financing. In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the warrants are recognized in earnings on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in each subsequent period.
The Company’s warrant liability is carried at fair value and was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In order to calculate fair value, the Company uses a custom model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert. This model calculates the fair value of the warrant liability at each measurement date using a Monte-Carlo style simulation, as the value of certain features of the warrant liability would not be captured by the standard Black-Scholes model.
The following table summarizes the values of certain assumptions used in our custom model to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
Stock price | $ | 0.51 | $ | 1.25 | ||||
Strike price | $ | 2.50 | $ | 2.50 | ||||
Remaining contractual term (years) | 2.6 | 3.1 | ||||||
Volatility | 141.8 | % | 171.9 | % | ||||
Adjusted volatility | 123.0 | % | 121.1 | % | ||||
Risk-free rate | 0.5 | % | 0.4 | % | ||||
Dividend yield | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % |
For the purposes of determining fair value, the Company used “adjusted volatility” in favor of “historical volatility” in its Monte-Carlo style simulation. Historical volatility of the Company was calculated using weekly stock prices over a look back period corresponding to the remaining contractual term of the warrants as of each valuation date. Management considered the lack of marketability of these instruments by incorporating a 10% incremental discount rate premium through a reduction of the volatility estimate (“volatility haircut”) to calculate the adjusted historical volatility as of each valuation date.
Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”) indicates that “in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability.” In accordance with ASU 2011-04, management estimated fair value from the perspective of market participants.

6. Cost-Method Investment
On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Darrell Lerner and DCL Ventures, Inc. (“DCL”) in connection with Mr. Lerner’s separation from the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company made an initial investment in DCL by purchasing 50,000 shares of DCL’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 in April 2013. These nonmarketable securities have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet measured on a cost basis (See Note 16).
As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s cost-method investment in a noncontrolled entity was $50,000, and was recorded in Investments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company assesses all cost-method investments for impairment quarterly. No impairment loss was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company does not reassess the fair value of cost-method investments if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments (See Note 16).
7. Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets, Net
Fixed assets and intangible assets, net consisted of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||

Total fixed assets and intangible assets, net | $ | 598,536 | $ | 548,549 |
The Company only holds fixed assets in the United States. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $85,563, as compared to $72,476 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
On January 23, 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $100,000 to an unrelated third party in exchange for the AYI.com domain name (See Note 13).
8. Notes Receivable
At June 30, 2013, the Company had notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $168,098 due from one current and two former employees. The employees issued the notes to the Company since the Company paid taxes for stock-based compensation on these employees’ behalf during 2011 and 2012. The outstanding amounts under the notes are secured by pledged stock certificates and are due at various times during 2021-2023. Interest accrues on these notes at rates from 2.31% and 3.57% per annum.
9. Income Taxes
We had no income tax benefit or provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Since the Company incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there was no income tax expense for the period. Increases in deferred tax balances have been offset by a valuation allowance and have no impact on our deferred income tax provision.
In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known for the period and applies that rate to the earnings or losses for the most recent interim period. The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement income and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of a discrete item, such as changes in estimates, changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or regulatory or tax law changes.
10. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

11. Stock-Based Compensation
The Snap Interactive, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the Company to award stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based awards and cash-based incentive awards to its employees (including an employee who is also a director or officer under certain circumstances), non-employee directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the Plan is 7,500,000 shares, 100% of which may be pursuant to incentive stock options. As of June 30, 2013, there were 2,943,335 shares available for future issuance under the Plan.
Stock Options
The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013:
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 | ||||
Expected volatility | 259.31 | % | ||
Expected life of option | 6.20 Years | |||
Risk free interest rate | 1.11 | % | ||
Expected dividend yield | 0 | % |
The expected life of the options is the period of time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise. The expected life of options has been determined using the "simplified" method as prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110, which uses the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The volatility of the Company’s common stock is calculated using the Company’s historical volatilities beginning at the grant date and going back for a period of time equal to the expected life of the award.
The following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:
Number of Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |||||||
Stock Options: | ||||||||

At June 30, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $82,730 and $82,635, respectively. At June 30, 2012, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $2,813,293 and $1,571,783, respectively. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the fair value of such awards as of the period-end date.
Stock-based compensation expense was $445,069 and $609,793 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $370,122 and $324,510 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We estimate potential forfeitures of stock awards and adjust recorded stock-based compensation expense accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense that is recognized in future periods.
Non-employee stock option activity is included in the table below, but is also included in the table for stock option activity above. The following table summarizes non-employee stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

12. Common Stock Purchase Warrants
In January 2011, we completed an equity financing that raised gross proceeds of $8,500,000 from the issuance of 4,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,125,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable any time on or before January 19, 2016 and have an exercise price of $2.50 per share. We received $7,915,700 in net proceeds from the equity financing after deducting offering expenses of $584,300. The exercise price of the warrants and number of shares of common stock to be received upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions.
We also issued warrants to purchase 255,000 shares of our common stock to the placement agent and our advisors in January 2011 in connection with the equity financing as consideration for their services. These warrants have the same terms, including exercise price, registration rights and expiration, as the warrants issued to the investors in the equity financing.
Warrant Liability
In connection with the issuance of these warrants, the Company recorded a warrant liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the estimated fair value of the warrants at the issuance date. The warrants are valued at the end of each reporting period with changes recorded as mark-to-market adjustment on warrant liability on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of these warrants was $445,075 and $1,616,325 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, based on a model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert.
The mark-to-market income on these warrants was $70,275 and $117,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and $1,171,250 and ($1,171,250) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and was not presented within loss from operations.
Common Stock Issued for Warrants Exercised
In April 2011, we issued 37,500 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of $88,125 after an investor exercised warrants at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
The following table summarizes warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

13. Common Stock Issued for Domain Name
On January 23, 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $100,000 to an unrelated third party in exchange for the AYI.com domain name. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, $100,000 was recorded to fixed assets and intangible assets for the new domain name, and $100 and $99,900 were recorded to common stock and additional paid-in capital, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
14. Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as defined by ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share. Diluted net loss per common share includes the dilutive effects of stock options, stock equivalents and warrants. To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, 7,139,165 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, 8,991,955 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of net loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Our results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are an Internet company providing services in the expanding social dating market. We own and operate a social dating software application under the AYI brand that can be accessed on Facebook®, mobile devices such as iPhone® and Android®, as well as a stand-alone website. Our application is fully integrated across all gateways we offer and incorporates the Facebook Connect® integration tool, which allows users to “connect” their Facebook profile and friends to our website. Since August 2007, AYI has been one of the leading dating applications on Facebook based on the publicly reported number of DAUs and MAUs.
As of August 9, 2013, we had more than 2.0 million MAUs of the AYI application across all of our platforms. We primarily generate revenue from subscription fees and, as of August 9, 2013, we had approximately 76,000 active subscribers. The number of our DAUs and MAUs as reported by Facebook, which includes non-paying users and paying subscribers, varies greatly on a daily and monthly basis, and is greater than the number of our active subscribers for any same measurement period.
We believe that our extensive user base and number of Facebook connected profiles allows us to create a one-of-a-kind experience for users looking to meet people with similar interests.
Operational and Financial Highlights
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we executed key components of our objectives for 2013:
● | We acquired and transitioned to the AYI.com domain name from the AreYouInterested.com domain name; |
● | We rebranded to “AYI”, a shorter name that is easier for our users to remember; and |
● | We launched new “social” features for AYI that are designed to integrate a user’s interest and social graphs into the online dating experience. |
For the remainder of 2013, our business objectives include:
● | Growing our base of paid subscribers; |
● | Continuing to build out our “social” features to improve the online dating experience for all of our users; |
● | Building a recognizable brand for AYI by expanding our advertising and marketing efforts beyond pure user acquisition; |
● | Increasing the amount of resources devoted to mobile initiatives and increasing user engagement on our mobile applications, particularly with regard to our Android application; and |
● | Increasing our rate of advertising and marketing expenditures to increase traffic for the AYI brand. |

How We Generate Revenue
We generate the majority of our revenue through subscription fees and premium sales on our AYI application. Most of our revenue is generated from subscriptions originating on our Facebook application, and a significant amount of our revenue is being generated through subscriptions on our mobile application. We also generate a small portion of our revenue through advertisements on our application and micro-transactions that allow users to access certain other premium features.
Users can purchase subscriptions to AYI via credit card, PayPal, direct debit, Boku, or as an In-App purchase through Apple Inc.’s iPhone App Store. Pursuant to Apple Inc.’s terms of service, Apple Inc. retains 30% of the revenue that is generated from sales on our iPhone application through In-App purchases in the United States. Regardless of which payment method is utilized, users may access the AYI application through any of the gateways we offer.
We recognize revenue from monthly premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are provided. Revenues are presented net of refunds, credits, and credit card chargebacks. During 2012, subscriptions were offered in durations of one-, three- and six-month terms. A twelve-month subscription term was added in February 2012. Longer-term plans (those with durations longer than one month) are generally available at discounted monthly rates. All subscription fees, however, are collected at the time of purchase regardless of the length of the subscription term. Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized over the length of the subscription term rather than when the subscription is purchased. Pursuant to our terms of service, subscriptions automatically renew for periods of the same length as the original subscription term until subscribers terminate their subscriptions.
During August 2012, in conjunction with the launch of the AYI application, we introduced micro-transactions to allow users to access certain premium features by paying for such features without purchasing a recurring subscription. While micro-transactions are not a significant driver of revenue, we believe that such micro-transactions may increase user engagement with the application and the likelihood that users will become a paid subscriber. Revenue from micro-transactions is recognized over a two-month period.
We recognize advertising revenue as earned on a “click-through,” impression, registration and subscription basis.
Key Metrics
Our management relies on certain performance indicators to manage and evaluate our business. The key performance indicators set forth below help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts and assess operational efficiencies. We discuss revenue and net cash used in operating activities under ‟Results of Operations” and ‟Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Deferred revenue and bookings, additional measures of our performance, are also discussed below.

Deferred Revenue
Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized over the length of the subscription term rather than when the subscription is purchased. Because a significant amount of our subscription sales occurred from subscriptions with a term of three or more months, we apportion that revenue over the duration of the subscription term even though it is collected in full at the time of purchase. The difference between the gross cash receipts collected and the revenue recognized to date from those sales is reported as deferred revenue.
Bookings
Bookings is a financial measure representing the aggregate dollar value of subscription fees and micro-transactions received during the period but is not a financial measure that is calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We calculate bookings as subscription revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred revenue recognized during the period. We record subscription revenue from subscription fees and micro-transactions as deferred revenue and then recognize that revenue ratably over the length of the subscription term. We use bookings internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and to assess the effectiveness of, and plan future, user acquisition campaigns. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business because we believe, as compared to subscription revenue, it is a better indicator of the subscription activity in a given period. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to bookings in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.
While the factors that affect bookings and subscription revenue are generally the same, certain factors may affect subscription revenue more or less than such factors affect bookings in any period. While we believe that bookings is useful in evaluating our business, it should be considered as supplemental in nature and it is not meant to be a substitute for subscription revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of subscription revenue to bookings for each of the periods presented:

Limitations of Bookings
Some limitations of bookings as a financial measure include that:
● | Bookings does not reflect that we recognize revenue from subscription fees and micro-transactions over the length of the subscription term; and |
● | Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate bookings differently or choose not to calculate bookings at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, you should consider bookings along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net loss and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Revenues
Revenues decreased to $3,151,989 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $5,212,637 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily related to lower revenues from subscription sales on the AYI brand in the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. We believe the decrease in revenues from subscription sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 primarily resulted from our reduced advertising and marketing expense for the period as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. We intentionally reduced our user acquisition campaigns from the second half of 2012 through January 2013, which primarily affected new subscriptions, while we focused on rebuilding, testing and optimizing the redesigned AYI application. We began to increase user acquisition campaigns in January 2013 and intend to increase our user acquisition campaigns during the remainder of 2013. The following table sets forth our subscription revenue, advertising revenue and total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and the three months ended June 30, 2012, the decrease between those periods, the percentage decrease between those periods, and the percentage of total revenue that each represented for those periods:

Subscription – The results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect a decrease in subscription revenue of $1,960,588, or 38.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in subscription revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was primarily driven by a decrease in our marketing and advertising expense versus the prior year period, which primarily affects new subscriptions. Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 99.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 98.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Advertising – The results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect a decrease in advertising revenue of $100,060, or 98.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. We believe the decrease in advertising revenue resulted from our discontinuation of online advertising campaigns in February 2013 in order to focus on improving a user’s experience on AYI, which we believe will be more valuable in the long-term. Advertising revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Programming, Hosting and Technology – The results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect an increase in programming, hosting and technology expense of $344,165, or 34.6%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in this expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was primarily driven by increased salary expenses due to expansion of our engineering and development staff, and increased expenses related to hosting and bandwidth, primarily to support the redesigned AYI application. Programming, hosting and technology expense as a percentage of total revenues was 42.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 19.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Compensation – The results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect an increase in compensation expense, which excludes the cost of developers and programmers included in programming, hosting and technology expense above, of $15,033, or 1.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by increased stock-based compensation expense, which was offset by a reduced headcount in management and support areas as compared to the comparable period in 2012. We anticipate increased compensation expense in future periods as we expect to hire additional employees during the remainder of 2013. Compensation expense as a percentage of total revenues was 34.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 20.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Professional fees – The results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect an increase in professional fees of $22,794, or 12.4%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was primarily driven by an increase in accounting fees as a result of the change in accounting firms and an increase in legal expenses. Professional fees as a percentage of total revenues were 6.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 3.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Advertising and Marketing – The results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect a decrease in advertising and marketing expense of $2,071,408, or 68.5%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in advertising and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by reducing the number of user acquisition campaigns. We also significantly reduced our rate of advertising and marketing expense as we continued to optimize the redesigned AYI application. We anticipate that advertising and marketing expense will increase during the remainder of 2013 (as compared to our advertising and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013) as we promote the redesigned AYI application. Advertising and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenues was 30.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 58.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
General and Administrative – The results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect an increase in general and administrative expense of $28,366, or 2.6%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the comparable period in the prior year, was primarily driven by increases in investor relations expenses, other employee related expenses and other increased costs associated with the overall expansion of our business. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues was 35.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 20.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

We have historically financed our operations through cash generated from our equity offering in January 2011, subscription fees received from our application, fees for premium features on our application and revenues derived from advertisements purchased on our application.
As of June 30, 2013, we had $2,617,733 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $5,357,596 as of December 31, 2012. Historically, our working capital has been generated through operations and equity offerings. If we continue to grow and expand our operations, our need for working capital will increase. We do not anticipate being profitable during the remainder of 2013 because we expect to increase our marketing and advertising expense during the remainder of 2013 (as compared to our advertising and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013) to acquire new users and create brand awareness. We intend to finance our business and growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof. To the extent that these are not successful, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents will further decrease during 2013.
A significant portion of our expenses are related to user acquisition costs. Our marketing and advertising expenses are primarily spent on channels where we can estimate the return on investment without long-term commitments. Accordingly, we can adjust our marketing and advertising expenditures quickly based on the expected return on investment, which provides flexibility and enables us to manage our marketing and advertising expense.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,651,931 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,697,958 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase in net cash used in operating activities of $953,973 was primarily a result of the decrease in deferred revenue, as well as the increase in the restricted cash. These uses of cash were offset in part by decrease in credit card holdback receivable and prepaid expenses, and increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Significant items impacting cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2013 included significant cash outlays relating to advertising and marketing expense, the mark-to-market adjustment on warranty liability, and increases in programming, hosting and technology expense, professional fees and related benefits associated with the growth of our business. These uses of cash were offset in part by collections in subscription revenues received during the period.
Significant items impacting cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2012 included increased cash outlays relating to advertising and marketing spend, and an increase in salaries and related benefits associated with the growth of our business. These uses of cash were offset in part by increased collections on subscription revenues, credit card collections, and payments received from the growth of advertising revenue during the quarter.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was ($87,932) and $4,894,431, respectively. Cash used in investing activities included purchases of property and equipment totaling $35,550 and $88,241 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These purchases consisted primarily of computers and servers during the periods. We continue to invest in technology hardware and software to support our growth. Purchases of property and equipment may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations and software development. We also acquired 50,000 shares of DCL’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 under our subscription agreement with DCL and Darrell Lerner. Redemption of investments during the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $4,975,000 and consisted of redemptions of our certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury notes purchased in the prior year. We also received cash during the six months ended June 30, 2012 from the partial repayment of a note receivable issued to an employee.
Financing Activities
There was no cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in “Note 13.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and refunds on subscription revenue, estimates used to determine the fair value of our common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation and common stock warrants, collectability of our accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2013, which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Based on the evaluation as of June 30, 2013, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control our financial reporting as of June 30, 2013, the Company determined that the following item constituted a material weakness:
● | The Company does not have an independent audit committee in place, which would provide oversight of the Company’s officers, operations and financial reporting function. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
