NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Blue Calypso Holdings, Inc. (a development stage company) a Texas corporation (“BCHI”), was formed in February 2010 as an investment entity to hold a 100% single-member ownership interest in Blue Calypso, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company formed on September 11, 2009. The companies are under common control.
On September 1, 2011, Blue Calypso Inc., which was then a Nevada corporation (formerly known as JJ&R Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with BCHI, and Blue Calypso Acquisition Corp., the Company’s newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”). Upon the closing of the transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub merged into and with BCHI, and BCHI, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. BCHI was the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and Blue Calypso, Inc. is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of BCHI and are recorded at their historical cost basis. The operations after completion of the merger include those of BCHI and the Company. Common stock and corresponding capital amounts of BCHI pre-merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the Merger. On October 17, 2011, the Company was merged into and with its newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Blue Calypso, Inc., a Delaware corporation for the sole purpose of changing the state of incorporation of the Company from Nevada to Delaware.
The Company is a mobile and social media marketing company that activates and measures branded word of mouth campaigns through consumers’ personal texts, posts and tweets between friends. The Company activates a friend to friend distribution of branded marketing campaigns by motivating brand loyalists to personally endorse and share these campaigns with their digital social streams. The Company compensates them for their reach with cash, prizes and VIP perks. Marketers enjoy the power of measured personal endorsements that generate buzz, ignite conversation, drive purchase intent, increase loyalty and attract new customers by leveraging the power of social influence.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Segments
The Company operates in a single segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the realization of capitalized software and the realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product has occurred or services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue includes fees received from customers for advertising and marketing services provided by the Company and is recognized as earned when brand loyalists personally endorse and share the advertising campaigns with others in their digital social stream.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank demand deposits. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment consists of office equipment and is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which for office equipment is three to five years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Internal Use Software. According to ASC 350-40 capitalization of costs shall begin when both of the following occur: a) preliminary project stage is completed, b) management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The costs capitalized

include fees paid to third parties for services provided to develop the software during the application development stage, payroll and payroll-related costs such as costs of employee benefits for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project on activities that include coding and testing during the application development stage and interest costs incurred while developing internal-use computer software (in accordance with ASC 835-20). Once the software is ready for its intended use, the costs are amortized using straight-line method over the estimated useful life of up to five years. The unamortized capitalized cost of the software is compared annually to the net realizable value. The amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs of the internal use software exceed the net realizable value of that asset is written off.
Impairment of Long-lived Tangible Assets and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived tangible assets and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable of the Company approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method pursuant to the authoritative guidance on Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement and carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
The Company follows the authoritative guidance prescribing comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. This guidance requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Loss per Share
We have presented basic loss per share, computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, and diluted loss per share, computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares result from stock options, vesting of restricted stock grants and convertible notes. However, for the years presented, all outstanding stock options, restricted stock grants and convertible notes are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents of 290,619 were excluded from the loss per share computation for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company granted stock options and restricted stock as compensation to employees and directors. Compensation expense is measured in accordance with ASC 718 (formerly SFAS No. 123R), Compensation - Stock Compensation. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for awards of equity instruments to employees based on the grant date fairvalue of those awards expected to ultimately vest. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant and revised if actual or expected forfeiture activity differs materially from original estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Significant concentrations of credit risk may arise from the Company’s cash maintained in the bank. The Company maintains cash in quality financial institution, however, at times, cash balance may exceed the federal deposit insurance limits (FDIC limits). As of September 30, 2012, the cash balance with the bank did not exceed the $250,000 FDIC limit.

The advertising and marketing expense was $1,250 and $69,059 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-06-Other Expenses (Topic 720): Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurers (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) . This ASU is effective for periods ending after December 31, 2013. We do not expect this ASU 2011-06 to apply to the Company or to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10-Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): De-recognition of in Substance Real Estate—a Scope Clarification (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU is effective for periods after June 15, 2012. We do not expect this ASU 2011-10 to apply to the Company or to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5. Income Tax Provision
The Company’s income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. The tax effects of the Company’s temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 consisted primarily of net operating losses totaling $568,131 and $621,270 which were fully reserved. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the effective U.S. federal and state income tax rate to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At September 30, 2012, the Company believed it was more likely than not that future tax benefits from net operating loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets would not be realizable through generation of future taxable income and accordingly deferred tax assets are fully reserved.
6. Long Term Debt - Notes Payable
On April 19, 2012, the Company entered into asecurities purchase agreement with an existing stockholder (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) a senior secured 8% convertible debenture in the original aggregate principal amount of $35,000 and (ii) a warrant to purchase 6,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share of the Company, and the Buyer covenanted to purchase up to an additional $465,000 of senior secured convertible debentures in a series of four closing at such times as may be designated by the Company in its sole discretion through October 19, 2012.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, and those ranges are disclosed below. Expected volatilities are based on similar industry-sector indices. The expected life of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on market yield on U.S. Treasury securities at 2-year constant maturity, quoted on investment basis determined at the date of grant.

Business Overview
We offer a patented social mobile advertising platform through which advertisers offer advertising content to our subscribers, who publicly endorse the products and services of these advertisers using their mobile smartphones as well as other internet enabled devices. Endorsers receive cash and other rewards for each endorsement they make.
Additionally, we offer a private label version of our patented platform, where the friends and advocates of the advertiser are engaged to endorse the products and services of the advertisers. These friends and advocates receive a broad range of rewards for their participation.We recently shifted our focus to the private label version of our platform and we believe that this product provides the Company withthegreatest growth opportunities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Development Stage Company
We are a development stage company as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, “Development Stage Entities”and are still devoting substantial efforts to establishing our business. Our principal operations have commenced but there has been no significant revenue thus far. All losses accumulated since the inception have been considered part of our development stage activities.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and include the accounts of Blue Calypso, Inc. and its subsidiary Blue Calypso, LLC, which is wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
16
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include: the useful lives of intangible assets and the recoverability or impairment of tangible and intangible asset values; deferred revenues; legal and other contingencies that are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable; and our effective income tax rate and the valuation allowance applied against deferred tax assets, which are based upon the expectations of future taxable income, allowable deductions, and projected tax credits. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition” when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product has occurred or services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is comprised primarily of fees received from customers for advertising and marketing services provided by us, which is generally earned when brand loyalists personally endorse and share the advertising campaigns with others in their digital social stream or when we provide services related to customer advertising campaigns. Recognition timing is based on the specific services delivered to our customer and the terms of our agreements with each customer. Agreements may be based on campaigns delivered, monthly billings or campaign activity. If the customer agreement provides, customers may pay or be invoiced for services prior to final service delivery, leading to unearned revenues being recorded.
Each endorsement event is tracked by the Blue Calypso system and any activity by the endorsers’ network of contacts is tracked and credited to the endorser. Customers receive weekly reports providing a detailed history of all initial endorser posts and subsequent activities generated by the initial endorsements, which allow them to verify that brand loyalists have personally endorsed their products. Reports can include geographic and demographic information related to the endorser. We believe that our tracking system, as well as the fact that endorsers must provide certain identifying information, including their name, address and social security number, in order to be issued a loyalty reward card and become eligible to receive payments for any endorsements, helps reduce opportunities for fraudulent endorsements. Making fraudulent endorsements is a violation of the terms and conditions that our endorsers agree to and any endorser discovered engaging in fraudulent or other activities violating our terms and conditions will have his or her account closed and endorser registration terminated.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue is accrued and recorded as earned by the endorser under the defined reward programs. Expense related to our payments to endorsers is recognized when we recognize revenue for such payments, in the case of endorsements related to our customers, and when the endorsement is made, in the case of endorsements of advertisers who are endorsed through our participation in one of the affiliate programs in which we participate. This is in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed to by the endorsers.
Rewards are delivered periodically to the endorser by loading loyalty cards. Endorsers are required to provide certain information before loyalty cards can be issued and loaded. Endorsers retain rights to any unpaid rewards until they have been inactive for three months or the applicable time frame specified in the endorser terms and conditions, if such time frame is changed. There is no additional expense to us associated with compensating endorsers through cash that is reloaded on a personal Visa debit card rather than compensating endorsers through cash sent directly to them.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank demand deposits. We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment consists of office equipment and is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which for office equipment is three to five years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
17
Intangible Assets
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: Internal Use Software.” According to ASC 350-40, capitalization of costs related to a computer software project should begin when both of the following occur: (a) the preliminary project stage is complete; and (b) management, with relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The costs capitalized include: fees paid to third parties for services provided to develop the software during the application development stage; payroll and payroll-related costs, such as costs of employee benefits for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the software project on activities that include coding and testing during the application development stage; and interest costs incurred while developing the software (in accordance with ASC 835-20). The costs are amortized using straight-line amortization over the estimated useful life of up to five years, once the software is ready for its intended use. The unamortized capitalized cost of the software is compared annually to the net realizable value. The amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs of the internal use software exceed the net realizable value of that asset is written off.
Impairment of Long-Lived Tangible Assets and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived tangible assets and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Fair Value Measurements
We have adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. An allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that tax benefits will not be utilized, which is the case as of the September 30, 2012 financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
We grant stock options and restricted stock as compensation to employees, directors and consultants. Compensation expense is measured in accordance with ASC 718 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R), “Compensation — Stock Compensation.” Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards expected to ultimately vest. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant and revised if actual or expected forfeiture activity differs materially from original estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Significant concentrations of credit risk may arise from our cash maintained in the bank. We maintain cash in quality financial institutions; however, at times, cash balances may exceed the federal deposit insurance limits.
18
Advertising and Marketing
Our advertising and marketing costs, which consist primarily of marketing and trade show costs, business development and printed promotional and sales presentation materials, are charged to expense when incurred.

Going Concern Consideration
Our registered independent auditors have issued an opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills and meet our other financial obligations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, dispose of selective assets, and ultimately, generate additional revenue. The going concern opinion may also limit our ability to access certain types of financing, prevent us from obtaining financing on acceptable terms, and limit our ability to obtain new business due to potential customers’ concern about our ability to deliver products or services. We must raise capital to implement our project and stay in business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are a development stage company and have incurred cumulative losses of $6,858,023 since beginning operations on September 11, 2009. At September 30, 2012, we had a cash balance of $51,789 and negative working capital of $401,601.

On April 19, 2012 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an existing stockholder pursuant to which the Company issued (i) a senior secured convertible debenture in the original aggregate principal amount of $35,000 and (ii) a warrant to purchase 6,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and the buyer covenanted to purchase up to an additional $465,000 of senior secured convertible debentures in a series of four closing at such times as may be designated by the Company in its sole discretion through October 19, 2012.

As a development stage company, we have been and continue to be dependent upon outside sources of cash to pay operating expenses. We have had only nominal revenue and we expect operating losses to continue through the foreseeable future. Until we develop a consistent source of revenue to achieve a profitable level of operations that generates sufficient cash flow, we will need additional capital resources to fund growth and operations. We are continuing our efforts to raise capital through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise equity or debt capital on terms we consider reasonable and prudent, or at all. The availability of capital to us may be subject to the volatility in the financial markets, our future financial condition and credit rating, and whether sufficient assets are available to be used as debt collateral in connection with any future debt financing, among other factors. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to the existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
If we are unable to raise sufficient funding in our current private placement, we will need to seek funding from alternative sources. We have no assurance that future financing will be made available to us, and if made available to us, in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise any additional funding in our current private placement or from other sources, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise capital or cease operations entirely.
Contractual Obligations
During 2011, the Company had a significant contractual obligation consisting of convertible promissory notes payable of $1,500,000 that would have been due on December 1, 2011. These promissory notes automatically converted into 1,500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on October 17, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, an additional 200,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were issued that provided $200,000 of funding in the quarter. As indicated in footnote 8 of the financial statements, Blue Calypso has engaged the services of a related party, Aztec Systems, Inc., for software development, use of network operating center, and accounting. We have warrants outstanding for a total of 31,536,818 shares at a price of $0.10 per share. We also have warrants outstanding for a total of 106,000 shares at a price of $0.75 per share.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Since we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by SEC regulation, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As indicated in the certifications in Exhibit 31 of this report, our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012. Based on that evaluation, we have concluded that due to our small size, we are unable to sufficiently segregate conflicting duties and, as of September 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to our inability to sufficiently segregate conflicting duties, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including the officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As additional resources and personnel become available we will implement appropriate procedures and segregation of duties to mitigate any material weaknesses.
Based upon this assessment, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of September 30, 2012, there existed a material weakness in our processes, procedures and controls related to the preparation of our annual or interim financial statements. We haveconcluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2012. Due to this material weakness, in preparing our annual or interim financial statements, we performed compensating additional procedures designed to ensure that such financial statements were fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
