DISCOUNT COUPONS CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Discount Coupons Corporation (the “Company”) provides web-based advertising and promotion services to the business and consumer community through various websites. Revenue is generated from the sale of discount coupons from its merchant clients to customers registering on the website to receive offers via e-mail. The Company operates globally via the Internet. The Company also manages other daily deal websites for a percentage of revenue.
The Company is a Florida corporation and was organized in August, 2010. Through September, 2013, the Company has been primarily engaged in developing its website and a base of merchant voucher offerings for consumer consumption, recruiting personnel, raising capital, and identifying similar companies for acquisition.
The Company is a new enterprise in the development stage as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities. This stage is characterized by significant expenditures for the design and development of the Company’s offerings. Once the Company’s planned principal operations commence, its focus will be on marketing vouchers to the general public through direct marketing and third-party partnerships and affiliations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has primarily devoted its efforts to the development and implementation of its web-based business. Operations have been funded through the private placement of equity securities and debt financing. These successful funding efforts have allowed the Company to reach its current state of development despite incurring losses typical with an emerging technology Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred net losses of $2,790,664 and $944,025, respectively.
Management anticipates incurring additional losses prior to reaching a positive operating cash flow and intends to finance its operations through additional notes payable and equity funding. Significant additional funding is needed. The Company is in the process of raising capital but there are no assurances such funding will be available.
If adequate funding cannot be obtained, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term interest bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Computer Equipment and Software
Computer equipment and software are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three (3) to five (5) years.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. There were no impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value – Definition and Hierarchy
In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is 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. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value – Definition and Hierarchy (continued)
the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular instruments. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The carrying amount of our financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Sales of coupons are recognized at the time of the sale for the face value of the coupon less the amount due the merchant. Consulting revenue is recognized in the period services are performed and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is reduced by estimated customer refunds.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires accounting for deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax asset and liabilities are computed for the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The determination of the Company’s provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions. The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company’s financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from tax authorities. When facts and circumstances change, the Company reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the financial statements as appropriate.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense was $13,618 and $13,935 for the periods ending September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Receivables and Credit Policies
The Company’s accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer, less management’s best estimate of an allowance for doubtful accounts and an estimate for sales returns. No interest is applied to past due accounts. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice.
Loss Per Common Share
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions and requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. Based on stock options that vested, the Company recorded compensation expense of approximately $207,550 and $286,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company recognized $610,000 in compensation expense for direct stock grants to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Nonemployee awards
The fair value of equity instruments issued to a nonemployee is measured by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the date of either: (i) a commitment for performance by the nonemployee has been reached; or (ii) the counterparty’s performance is complete. Expenses related to nonemployee awards are generally recognized in the same period as the Company incurs the related liability for goods and services received. The Company recorded stock compensation of approximately $1,341,503 and $130,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 related to consulting and other professional services. Additionally, stock and stock options valued at $1,156,247 were issued for future services, which is shown in prepaid expenses.

Stock-based compensation expense
Stock-based compensation consists of stock options and stock issued to employees, directors, and consultants. Compensation expense is calculated on the fair value of the instrument at the time of grant and is recognized ratably over the service period based on the number of awards that vest over time and in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately (See above, Stock-Based Compensation). The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in professional fees, selling, or general administrative expense depending on the nature of the service provided
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” which requires companies to report total net income, each component of comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income on the face of the income statement, or as two consecutive statements. The components of comprehensive income will not be changed, nor does the ASU affect how earnings per share is calculated or reported. These amendments will be reported retrospectively upon adoption. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, which works to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The update both clarifies the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value guidance, and also changes certain principles regarding measurement and disclosure. The update is effective prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on fair value measurements and disclosures. The update requires more robust disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009; except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this update did not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”), which was formerly known as SFAS 168. ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis of conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as their related disclosures. Such estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

9. | Stock options and warrants |
The Company accounts for its stock option awards under FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock compensation.” The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for each grant: risk free interest rate between 1.67% and 1.80%, no dividend yield, expected lives of ten years and volatility of 40%. The expected term of stock option awards granted is generally based on the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options discussed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, as amended by SAB No. 110. The expected volatility is derived from historical volatility of a similar Company whose stock is on the OTCBB for a period that matches the expected term of the option. We based the risk-free interest rate that we use in our option pricing valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of the option grant on constant maturity US Treasury issues with equivalent remaining terms. Options vest on the date granted and can be exercised over a period of seven to ten years.

Corporate History
Corporate Overview.
We were incorporated on August 16, 2010 in Florida. Our principal offices are located at 5584 Rio Vista Drive, Clearwater, Florida 33760 and our telephone number is (727) 324-0161
Business Description.
We are a marketing firm that provides services to businesses on a cost per acquisition basis through the sale of discount vouchers to consumers. Our business operates in a similar manner to businesses that define themselves as “daily deal” websites by leveraging the power of group buying to provide deals with savings to users.
We analyze the “daily deal” industry and identify key opportunities that are not being pursued by our competitors.
Our business performs three primary operations:
1) | Merchant acquisition, which is our process of obtaining advertising contracts with merchants; |
2) | Acquiring leasing agreements with other firms to acquire portions of their revenues streams in exchange for providing web servicing; and |
3) | Advertising and marketing of our voucher inventory. |
Our marketing and advertising operations include a multi-channel program to advertise vouchers through advertising. We have adapted our business model in our attempt to maximize our opportunity to sell vouchers by innovating key operating traits. Unlike “daily deal” companies that typically market an offer for a period of 24 hours, our marketing contracts allow us to market each offer in 30-day intervals on a 12-month, automatically renewing agreement. Our business plan also includes acquiring rights to receive revenue streams from other “daily deal” sites, by providing them with business development and consulting services. In exchange for these services, firms will provide us with mutually agreed upon revenue streams.
Limited Operating History
We have a limited operating history. Our operations have been focused on establishing our business model, designing and constructing a website, acquiring subscribers, obtaining merchant agreements, testing marketing advertising and sales channels, and exploring merger and acquisition opportunities within our industry and other closely related industries.
Plan of Operations
Our primary focus is offering discount coupons to individuals via the Internet through e-mail and other mass marketing methods, directing consumers to our website and other websites that we have under management. Recently we launched a focused, aggressive strategy to acquire relevant Daily Deal companies in key geographic markets. Should we be successful in this strategy, this will allow us to: (a) substantially increase revenues; (b) collectively pool marketing and sales experience with our acquired Daily Deal companies; (c) significantly grow our subscriber base; (d) develop a Daily Deal model to open new markets where no viable acquisition target exists; (e) aggregate and increase revenues in demographic industries; (f) acquire marketing firms, enabling us to provide consulting services to assist companies with their online brand; (g) become the Digital Agency of Record for companies that fit our profile size and expertise; and (h) provide our knowledge of Internet-based business models to companies on a consulting basis.
We have tested various marketing and advertising channels to determine their efficacy to both sell our vouchers and obtain new subscribers. We have primarily tested pay-per-click search engine marketing, organic search engine optimization, and social media. Through these tests we have learned which channels provide a return on investment (ROI), which also provide a positive impact on sales and public knowledge.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The term “liquidity” as used herein refers to the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the enterprise’s needs for cash. At the present time, our available cash is not sufficient to allow us to commence full execution of our business plan. We have minimal cash on hand and no ability to generate cash without the sale of equity or debt securities.
Our growth strategy for the next 12 months is primarily focused on seeking strategic acquisitions or joint ventures to acquire their respective operations and mailing lists in our attempt to increase our revenues and increased subscriber amount, of which there are no assurances that we will be successful in this strategy. Our expansion program may require us to increase our payroll obligations, workers compensation premiums, and employer taxes if our revenues grow. Funds required to finance our expansion program are expected to come primarily from additional debt or equity financings during fiscal 2013; however, there are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining any additional financing or that we will secure financing on terms that will be favorable to us.
We are currently using funds at approximately $65,000 per month. The minimum period of time that we can conduct our planned operations using currently available capital resources is thirty days. The minimum amount of funding needed in the next year is approximately $780,000.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we used $483,793 net cash in operations, received net cash of $38,759 from investing activities, and had $438,180 in net cash provided from the sale of debt and equity securities to investors after principal repayments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used $374,019 net cash in operations and had $319,200 in cash provided from the sale of debt and equity securities to investors.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued notes payable to third-party investors with a face value of $206,250. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we issued notes payable to third-party investors with a face value of $175,750. For each $1 borrowed, the lender received two warrants to purchase our common stock at 50 cents. Additionally, these notes are convertible into our stock at the option of the note holder at the rate of 50 cents per share. These notes had a maturity date of August 31, 2013, payable at face value plus accrued interest at maturity (unless converted to stock). The notes accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we issued notes payable to third party investors with a face value of $222,500 and $225,000, respectively, in conjunction with the sale of common and treasury stock. These notes issued had a common maturity date of August 31, 2013, payable at face value plus accrued interest at maturity. The notes accrued interest at the rate of 7% per annum.
During the third quarter of 2013, matured notes in the amount of $509,500 and accrued interest in the amount of $76,430 were converted into 1,171,848 shares of common stock. New short-term notes were issued for matured notes that were not converted into stock.
Our notes payable as of September 30, 2013 are $310,000.
Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since our inception, we have primarily devoted our efforts to the development and implementation of our web-based business. Our operations have been funded through private placement of our equity securities and debt financing. We anticipate incurring additional losses prior to reaching a positive operating cash flow and we intend to finance our operations through additional notes payable and equity funding. If we are unable to secure adequate funding, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Our estimates are based on assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We will evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis and make changes as experience develops or as we become aware of new information. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue
We recognize revenue when a coupon is purchased from our on-line site. We estimate customer refunds based on historical data over time and reduce revenue by these estimated refunds. Sales of coupons are recognized at the time of the sale for the face value of the coupon less the amount due the merchant.
For coupons purchased from sites under a management agreement, we receive a percentage of the net revenue (face value of the coupon less the amount due the merchant). This percentage ranges from 100% to 75%, depending on the terms negotiated with the owner of the site under management.
For consulting agreements, revenue is recognized in the period services are performed and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is reduced by estimated customer refunds.
Income Taxes
Our financial statements will include an estimate of income taxes assessed for any legal jurisdiction in which we operate. These income taxes include both a current amount, as well as a deferred portion, which results from a variety of temporary book versus tax treatment differences, including net operating loss carry forwards. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are includible in the balance sheet. Once established, any deferred tax asset must be evaluated to determine whether it is more likely than not that the future tax benefits will be realized, including the likelihood that we will generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize the full amount. When facts and circumstances warrant, we will establish, increase or reduce valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets in order to reflect which assets meet the more-likely-than-not realizability test. Based on the cumulative losses and lack of operating history, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as we believe that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (ASC 350 ). We periodically evaluate long-lived assets for indicators that would suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The judgments regarding the existence of such indicators are based on factors such as operating performance, market conditions, and legal factors. The valuation of long-lived assets requires the use of judgment in evaluating these indicators.
In accordance with ASC 350, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. Our long-lived assets consist primarily of the capitalized cost of website development which has an estimated useful life of three to five years.
Stock-Based Compensation
We comply with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions and requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected term of stock option awards granted is generally based on the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options discussed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, as amended by SAB No. 110. The expected volatility is derived from historical volatility of a similar company whose stock is in our industry sector and on the OTCBB for a period that matches the expected term of the option. We base the risk-free interest rate that we use in our option pricing valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of option grant on constant maturity U.S. Treasury issues with equivalent remaining terms.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for each grant for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011; risk-free interest rate between 1.67% and 1.80%, no dividend yield, expected lives of ten years and volatility of 40%.
Nonemployee awards
The fair value of equity instruments issued to a nonemployee is measured by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the date of either: (i) a commitment for performance by the nonemployee has been reached; or (ii) the counterparty’s performance is complete. Expenses related to nonemployee awards are generally recognized in the same period as the company incurs the related liability for goods and services received.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The most significant recent accounting direction relating to reporting revenue in our industry comes from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC requires that revenue be reported net of payments to merchants, rather than gross with payments to merchants reflected as cost of sales. We follow this treatment in our financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 240.15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
