FNDS3000 CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FNDS3000 Corp (the
Company, FNDS3000, we, our, its or us) and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim
financial statements. Therefore, they include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2009 of FNDS3000 Corp which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2009.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements present the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations and cash
flows as of May 31, 2010, as well as the audited balance sheet as of August 31, 2009 of FNDS3000 Corp and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of May 31,
2010 and the results of operations and cash flows presented herein have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.
All references to fiscal periods apply to our fiscal quarters, which end on the last day of the months of November, February, May and August, with
August 31 being our fiscal year end.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 2 Going Concern
Our
financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. We have incurred losses in excess of $15,000,000 since our inception and we have a working capital deficit of $1,595,757 as of May 31, 2010. Our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems,
expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.
Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through privately placed equity financings, and we expect to continue to seek additional
funding through private or public equity and debt financings. However, we expect that operating revenue from the sales of our products and other related revenue will increase.
However, there can be no assurance that our plans will materialize and/or that we will be successful in funding our estimated cash shortfalls through
additional debt or equity capital and/or any cash generated by our operations. These factors, among others, indicate that there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable length of time.
Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 Formation,
Background and Operations of the Company
Corporate History
FNDS3000 Corp was incorporated on January 24, 2006 in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Our fiscal year end is
August 31.
6
On March 28, 2008, the Company, in accordance with a written consent of the board of directors, as well
as the consent of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, amended the Companys Articles of Incorporation to change the Companys name to FNDS3000 Corp from FundsTech Corp.
During December 2008 and January 2009, a change of executive management occurred. Additionally, Sherington Holdings, LLC (Sherington) became
a major investor.
In May 2009, we sold the Atlas subsidiary, which was purchased in July of 2008.
On August 28, 2009, the Company announced completion of the Pilot Test Phase (Pilot) and the commencement of the Market Volume Test
phase (Market Test) in South Africa. During the Pilot, a limited number of cards were introduced to the market, allowing a test of the full range of transaction processes alongside the development of further product enhancements, more
comprehensive customer service operations and advanced fraud prevention protocols. The Market Test began with an initial distribution of approximately 10,000 prepaid cards to corporate clients and their cardholders. As the Market Test progressed in
October and November 2009, it became evident that the process of delivering cards to cardholders, in an environment where physical addresses are not always well defined and logistical options are limited, took our corporate clients longer than they
projected. The Company took steps, in cooperation with our distributors and corporate clients, to improve the planning and execution of the delivery and activation process and early indications were that card activation rates were improving.
The challenges of card distribution to cardholders were further hampered by the December 2009 festive season. In South Africa, this coincides
with high summer, resulting in high vacation absences within the operations of our customers and slower progress on any organizational changes; and this situation continued into the early new year. However, by January 31, 2010, the threshold of
100,000 cards distributed to corporate clients had been surpassed, thereby meeting the covenant test in the Sherington loan agreement.
Progress was further slowed by internal difficulties of one of our key distributors, Australis. These difficulties increased through the fiscal second
quarter of 2010 and ultimately led to an agreement in March between the Company and Australis to terminate the agreement between the companies. Thereafter, FNDS3000 Corp entered into direct contractual relationships with the former customers of
Australis.
During the second and third quarters of the 2010 fiscal year, the Company further developed its plans and programs for
micro-financing, which offers particular attractions in high volume potential, repeat business and does not have the challenges of distribution in that the cardholder is present at the time that funds are loaded.
The delays experienced during its development phases have extended the period during which the Company must expend funds without having significant
revenue, leading to the need for additional financing. Sales of its common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, along with a convertible note for $1 million have provided the required financing.
On April 15, 2010, with the announcement of the results of the second quarter, the Company also announced the completion of a non-brokered financing
agreement for a total of $500,000 and on June 22, 2010, announced additional financing of $1 million.
Because we cannot anticipate when
significant revenue will be generated, we will need to raise additional funds to continue to execute our business plan, respond to competitive pressures and to react to unanticipated requirements or expenses. We have previously estimated that delays
could negatively affect our funds at an estimated rate of $250,000 per each month. We estimate that we will require up to an additional $5 million in capital over the next 12 months. More specifically, we will need to raise approximately $2 million
to provide us with necessary working capital to support our South Africa business operations through to achieving positive cash flow, as well as to finance planned growth initiatives in that market, which may include implementing software
enhancements to our current payment processing platform to support our anticipated growth. We will require up to an additional $3 million to provide for strategic expansion of our business into other targeted developing prepaid markets,
including those identified in other African nations, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. We plan to raise any such additional capital primarily through the private placement of our equity securities. The issuance of additional equity securities
by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.

Note 4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FNDS3000 Corp and its wholly owned subsidiary, FndsTech Corp. SA. (PTY).
Transaction Data Management, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is inactive.
Significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain items
in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Estimates that are
critical to the accompanying financial statements arise from our belief that we will secure an adequate amount of cash to continue as a going concern, that our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover potential losses in our receivable
portfolio, and that all long-lived assets are recoverable.
In addition, the determination and valuation of stock options granted to employees
and officers is a significant estimate. The markets for our products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development, evolving standards, short product life cycles and price competition, all of which could influence the
future realization of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could
change in the near term with respect to these matters.
Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. These financial instruments
are stated at their respective carrying values, which approximate their fair values.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade
accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in Jacksonville, Florida. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, balances may exceed
federally insured limits.
The Company also maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in Bryanston, South Africa.
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with
respect to its cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The following types of revenue provide an overview of the various fees associated with our cards:
|
|
|
Issuance fees, which arise from sales of our prepaid cards.
|
8
|
|
|
Transaction fees, which arise from the use, loading and reloading of cash for the prepaid cards.
|
|
|
|
Maintenance fees, which arise from charges for keeping the cards active.
|
|
|
|
Financial float fees, which arise from cash obtained with the instant load of cash and convenience of prepaid cards before the funds are used.
|
Our revenue recognition policy for fees and services arising from our products is that revenue is recognized when
(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured. More specifically, issuance fee
revenue for our prepaid cards is recognized when shipped, transaction fee revenue is recognized when the transaction occurs and posts, and maintenance and financial float fee revenue are recognized when the products are used. Consulting fees are
recognized as work is performed and per contractual terms with the customer. Costs of revenue, including the cost of printing the cards, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Companys accounts receivable arise from the sale of cards and security tokens and for application and set-up fees. Accounts receivable are
determined to be past due if payment is not made in accordance with the terms of our contracts and receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed for all of our customers and we
generally do not require collateral.
We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy. The level of the
allowance account and related bad debts are based upon our review of the collectability of our receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying
collateral and prevailing economic conditions. We use the direct write-off method for accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectable and believe there is no material difference in this method from the allowance method. This evaluation
is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Property and Equipment
Equipment
and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the
straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:
|
|
|
Category
|
|
Useful Lives
|
Computers and networks
|
|
3 years
|
Machinery and equipment
|
|
5-7 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
5-7 years
|
Office equipment
|
|
3-10 years
|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Lesser of lease term or useful life of asset
|
Major
additions will be capitalized, while minor additions, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, will be expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.
Long-Lived Assets and Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset
may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets or whether the remaining balance of long-lived assets should
be evaluated for possible impairment.
We assessed the impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, specifically the software
license, and that review indicated that there has been no impairment to the fair value of the license.
9
Purchased and Developed Software
Purchased and developed software includes the costs to purchase third-party software and to develop internal-use software. Off-the-shelf software costs
are amortized over the expected economic life of the product, generally three years.
Goodwill and Intangibles
We have a capitalized intangible asset, which is the purchase of the GCC software license from World Processing, Ltd., the parent company of Global Cash
Card, and associated fees relative to its modification to meet our needs. In recognition of the right to receive future cash flows related to transactions of the asset, we will amortize this value over seven years, as it is anticipated that the
software will continue to grow with our needs. Additionally, annual impairment tests are performed with any impairment recognized in current earnings.
Net Earnings or (Loss) Per Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss for the period by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Basic net loss per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
periods. All potential diluted shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 as the effect of conversion is anti-dilutive.
Equity-Based Compensation
The
Company has annual equity-based compensation plans, which are designed to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company.
We account for equity instruments issued for services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments,
whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock-based compensation was determined using the historical fair value of the equity instruments. Fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The variables used
in the option pricing formula for each grant are determined at the time of grant as follows: (1) volatility is based on the weekly closing price of the Companys stock over a look-back period of time that approximates the expected option
life; (2) risk-free interest rates are based on the most applicable monthly market yield on U.S. Treasury securities at a maturity comparable to the expected term of the option per the Federal Reserve Statistical Release of
historical interest rates as published on the Federal Reserves website; and (3) expected option life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding.
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based Payment, allows companies to continue to use the simplified method to estimate the
expected term of stock options under certain circumstances. The simplified method for estimating the expected life uses the mid-point between the vesting term and the contractual term of the stock option. The Company has analyzed the circumstances
in which the simplified method is allowed and has determined that use of the simplified method is applicable for the Company.
The Company
issues stock as compensation for services at the current market fair value. We account for equity instruments issued for services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more
reliably measurable. Prior to February 2009, the Company used quoted market prices as a basis for the fair value of the common stock. Beginning in February 2009 and continuing through the present, the Company issued significant amounts of common
stock in exchange for cash, which was used to determine the fair value of the shares issued for services at or near the time of these issuances for cash.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards require the input of highly subjective
assumptions, including the expected life of the share-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these estimates
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are
required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly
different from what we have recognized in the current period.
10
Derivative Financial Instruments
We have adopted certain disclosure requirements under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging
which requires that objectives for using derivative financial instruments be disclosed in terms of the underlying risk and accounting designation. Additionally, ASC 815 requires that the fair value of derivative financial instruments and their gains
and losses be presented in tabular format in order to present a more complete picture of the effects of using derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm
commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale
security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is,
gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
Our use of a derivative instrument was limited
to a guarantee included in the Settlement/Membership Interest Purchase Agreement of May 14, 2009, wherein the Company sold Atlas Merchant Services LLC back to its former owner. As part of the agreement, the Company supported a guarantee made by
Mr. Gerber to one shareholder with respect to the Companys stock performance.
We had no derivative financial instruments as of
May 31, 2010.

Foreign Currency Translation
and Transactions
The financial position and results of operations of the FNDS3000 South Africa operations are measured using the
parents currency, the US dollar, as the functional currency; however, the original books and records are maintained in the South African Rand. Therefore, exchange rate gains and losses are considered to be transaction gains and
losses.
Transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency. Gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are generally included in determining net income for the period in which exchange rates change unless the transaction hedges a foreign currency commitment or a net
investment in a foreign entity. Inter-company transactions of a long-term investment nature are considered part of a parents net investment and hence do not give rise to gains or losses. Assets and liabilities of these operations are
translated at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income statement accounts, with the exception of amortized assets or liabilities, are translated at the average exchange rate during the year.
Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign currency-denominated cash,
receivables and payables, and generate currency transaction gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period are reported in other (income) expense, net, in our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
11
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely
than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies
and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets
in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely
than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the
effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
For the period January 24, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2010, the Company incurred net operating losses in an amount exceeding the net income.
However, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of this deferred tax asset. At May 31, 2010, the Company had in excess of $15,000,000 of federal and state net operating losses (NOL)
allocated to continuing operations available. The net operating loss carry forward, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2024.
For
financial reporting purposes based upon continuing operations, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception.
Note
5 Recent Pronouncements
In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard
Update (ASU) No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30ReceivableLoans and Debt
Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (Subtopic 310-30). Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit
deterioration. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, ReceivablesTroubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The
amendments in this update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied
prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure
requirements. Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of
this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-6, which
amends existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances,
and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. ASU 2010-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009. The
adoption of this ASU has not had an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent). This ASU permits use of a practical expedient, with appropriate disclosures, when
measuring the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application
permitted. Since the Company does not currently have any such investments, it does not anticipate any impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

Note 9 Deposits
The Company has various non-current deposits of approximately $29,000 held by third parties for security deposits on our offices and certain utilities.
Note 10 Discontinued Operations Atlas Merchant Services, LLC
In July 2008, we acquired the assets of Atlas Merchant Services, Inc. (Atlas Inc.), an Atlanta-based company that markets debit and credit
card programs to merchants and employers throughout the United States. At the time of acquisition, Atlas Inc. was generating approximately $1 million in annual revenue; however, as we progressed with our South African operations, we found there was
no synergy between overseas prepaid card operations and US merchant services. Management recognized that the two companies would fare better under separate ownership.
On May 14, 2009, the Company and Atlas LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Settlement/Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with
Victor Gerber, the former owner of Atlas Inc., and Atlas Inc.
As part of the agreement to sell Atlas LLC back to Mr. Gerber, the Company
supported a guarantee made by Mr. Gerber to one shareholder with respect to its stock performance. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Gerber an amount equal to the excess of $0.43 over the market value of the Companys common stock
multiplied by 883,721. The market value of the Companys common stock is defined as the average publicly traded price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the ten business days ending October 31, 2009. As of August 31, 2009,
$111,429 had been accrued for this liability.
Per an amendment dated October 16, 2009, the Company agreed that if as of
December 15, 2009, the market value of the Companys common stock is less than $0.43 per share, the Company would pay to Mr. Gerber an amount equal to the excess of $0.43 over the market value of the Companys common stock
multiplied by 883,721. The market value of the Companys common stock is defined as the average publicly traded price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the ten business days ending December 15, 2009. On December 15, 2009, the
parties agreed to an amount of $137,860, therefore, the Company had accrued a liability of $137,860 and had recorded an expense of $26,431 as of November 30, 2009. This payment was delivered in early January 2010.
Note 11 Related Party Transactions
Travel Expenses
As of
May 31, 2010, the Company owes approximately $56,000 to related parties for travel expenses.

November 30, 2009, the Company incurred additional travel expense of $37,948. In December 2009, $140,000 was paid to Sherington, leaving an amount due of $34,690. As of early November 2009, the Company began funding its travel via reimbursement
of employee travel expenses. However, during January 2010, an additional $8,257 was charged to the Sherington travel account bringing the total now due to $42,947.

Royalties
As part of the GCC Software License Agreement (the License) with World Processing, Ltd., royalties are to be paid at varying rates as various

Convertible Notes Payable
On October 29, 2008, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with Sherington for the sale of a secured convertible
promissory note in the principal amount of $320,000 (the October 2008 Note). On December 1, 2008, we entered into the Amended Agreement with Sherington, which amended the Original Agreement. The Amended Agreement provided for an

entered into on April 8, 2010 in conjunction with an agreement for additional financing from Sherington; the maturity date was extended to August 31, 2010. Refer to Note 14 Subsequent Events for information on the June conversion of
this note.

Note 13 Equity Transactions
Sales of Unregistered Common Stock
July 2009 First Amendment to the Sherington Note Purchase Agreement to Revise Target Covenant
On January 6, 2009, the
Company and Sherington entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company provided Sherington with the right to demand the filing of two registration statements registering the shares of common stock, the shares of common
stock underlying a common stock purchase warrant and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the July 2009 Note. On July 1, 2009, the Company and Sherington entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Rights Agreement
and on November 2, 2009, the Company and Sherington entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Rights Agreement, whereby the definition of registerable securities was further expanded.
On July 1, 2009, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the First Amended
Agreement) with Sherington, which amended the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement entered by and between the Company and Sherington on December 1, 2008 (the Amended Agreement). The First Amended Agreement provided for
a decrease in the minimum number of cards required to be sold in South Africa from 150,000 prior to July 31, 2009 to 100,000 on or prior to September 30, 2009 (the Target). In connection with the First Amended Agreement, on
July 1, 2009, the Company issued that certain Second Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the July 2009 Note).
16
November 2009 Sherington Forbearance Agreement
As the Company has not achieved the Target
resulting in a default under the July 2009 Note, the Company and Sherington entered into the Forbearance and Note Modification Agreement (the Forbearance Agreement), dated November 2, 2009, pursuant to which Sherington agreed to
temporarily forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the default until January 31, 2010. If the Company satisfies the Target prior to January 31, 2010, then the default shall be waived.
Further, pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the July 2009 Note was amended to extend the maturity date to the earliest of the close of business on
February 28, 2010 or upon or after the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the July 2009 Note) and the conversion price was reduced to $0.15 per share. Further, the July 2009 Note may not be redeemed or prepaid prior to
February 28, 2010 without the prior written consent of Sherington.
Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, the Company issued an Amended and
Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the July 2009 Warrant). In accordance with the November 2009 Agreement, the July 2009 Warrant was canceled and replaced with the Second Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
dated November 2, 2009 (the Restated November 2009 Warrant). The Restated November 2009 Warrant provides that Sherington is entitled to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 19,963,263 shares of common stock of the Company at a
price equal to $0.35 per share through December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restated November 2009 Warrant shall only be exercisable so that Sherington may maintain its percentage interest in the Company of approximately 57%
and is only exercisable by Sherington if and when there has occurred a full or partial exercise of any derivative securities of the Company outstanding as of July 1, 2009 (but excluding the securities held by Sherington and the Restated
November 2009 Warrant).
The conversion feature of a convertible note payable is characterized as a beneficial conversion with the benefit
value calculated by determining the number of shares that would be issued upon conversion and multiplying the result by the difference between the fair market value and the conversion price. Accordingly, the Company has determined that as the
revised exercise price of $0.15 of the convertible note is $0.025 lower than the fair market value of the stock sold, the value of the beneficial conversion benefit is $166,667. Therefore, the Company has discounted the balance of the convertible
note as of the November 30, 2009 revision and included $166,667 in additional paid in capital. The $166,667 was amortized from the date of revision to the stated redemption date of February 28, 2010, of which $41,667 was amortized to
interest expense during the three months ended November 30, 2009 and the remaining $125,000 was expensed during the three months ended February 28, 2010. However, as certain terms of the original convertible note have been revised as
subsequent sales of equity to Sherington occurred, current agreement terms are subject to additional future revision.
Further, at the Second
Closing, the Company is required to issue Sherington the Third Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, which will maintain Sherington percentage of approximately 57%. The exercise price of the Restated November 2009 Warrant is subject
to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
The securities were offered and sold to the above parties in private transactions made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. Each of the investors is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
November 2009 Financing
On November 2, 2009, to obtain funding for the development of the business, the Company entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the November 2009 Agreement) with Sherington Holdings, LLC (Sherington), wherein Sherington agreed to purchase (i) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the November 2009
Shares) at a purchase price of $0.15 per share and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.175 per share (the November 2009 Warrant). The Company issued and
sold the November 2009 Shares and the November 2009 Warrant in two separate closings. On November 2, 2009, the date of the first closing, the Company sold to Sherington 3,333,333 November 2009 Shares and a November 2009 Warrant to purchase
3,333,333 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $500,000.
17
The November 2009 Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The exercise
price of the November 2009 Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the
like.
On November 30, 2009, the date of the second closing, the Company sold to Sherington 6,666,667 November 2009 Shares and a
November 2009 Warrant to purchase 6,666,667 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $1,000,000 (the Second Closing). The Second Closing was contingent upon, among other items:
On November 30, 2009, the date of the second closing, the Company sold to Sherington 6,666,667 November 2009 Shares and a November 2009 Warrant
to purchase 6,666,667 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $1,000,000 (the Second Closing). The Second Closing was contingent upon, among other items:
|
|
|
the Company raising $300,000 of the Supplemental Capital Raise (as defined below);
|
|
|
|
Sheringtons approval of the Additional Investors (as defined below), the Company having identified and taken steps to implement a plan to reduce
certain operating costs by a minimum of 10%, with a target of 15%;
|
|
|
|
the Company having reimbursed Sherington for $140,000 past due travel expenses incurred by the Company; and
|
|
|
|
the Company holding an annual meeting (or written consent in lieu of annual meeting) of the Companys stockholders to elect the Board of Directors
and increase the authorized shares of common stock to 150,000,000 shall have occurred.
|
As additional consideration,
Sherington also agreed to secure the services of a consultant associated with Sherington to assist the Company in launching its mobile banking initiative. The consultant shall provide its services for a period of 13 months, which commenced on
October 1, 2009. The parties have valued the contribution at approximately $250,000. Sherington will pay the salary and benefits or consulting fees of this consultant, without seeking reimbursement from the Company, the timing and scope of such
services to be reasonably determined from time to time by Company management.
The Company recorded the additional consideration of $250,000
as prepaid service paid in common stock. A review of costs from October 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010 associated with this consultant indicate that the $250,000 will be utilized by August 31, 2010, Therefore, the Company has adjusted
the allocation of expense to reflect a service period of 11 months rather than 13 months. The Company has expensed $181,818 and $85,664, respectively, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2010.
As noted above, the Company was required to raise $300,000 through the sale of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.175 per share. The Company
entered into securities purchase agreements with accredited investors (the November 2009 Additional Investors), including certain officers of the Company, wherein the Company sold 1,714,286 shares of the Companys common stock and
warrants to purchase 1,714,286 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $219,000.
As part of the agreement with Sherington, if, by two
days prior to the second closing, the Company had raised at least $200,000 but had not secured a full commitment for $300,000 Supplemental Capital Raise, it was agreed that Sherington would purchase the amount of the difference, which was not to
exceed $100,000, at a price of $0.15 per share. The Company secured $219,000 and Sherington purchased an additional 540,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 540,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $81,000.
Sheringtons funds, $1,081,000, were received on December 2, 2009.
In November 2009, the Company sold 11,791,428 shares of common
stock, $0.001 par value and related common stock purchase warrants to various accredited investors for proceeds of $1.8 million.
March

(the April 2010 Agreements) with Sherington and Dorothy Ann Hancock (Hancock) on April 8, 2010 and April 13, 2010, respectively, for the sale to each Sherington and Hancock of a convertible promissory note in the
principal amount of $250,000 (the April 2010 Notes) and common stock purchase warrants to acquire 1,428,572 shares of common stock (the April 2010 Warrants). Pursuant to the terms of the April 2010 Agreements, the Company and
Sherington closed on the sale and purchase of the April 2010 Note and the April 2010 Warrant on April 8, 2010 and the Company and Hancock closed on the sale and purchase of the April 2010 Note and the April 2010 Warrant on April 13, 2010.
The April 2010 Notes bear interest at 10%, mature August 31, 2010 and are convertible into the Companys common stock, at the holders option, at a conversion price of $0.175 per share. The Company may only redeem the April 2010 Note
with the written consent of the holders. In the event that the Company issues securities at a price below the conversion price, then the conversion price shall be reduced by a weighted average. The April 2010 Warrants are exercisable through April
2012 at an exercise price of $0.175 per share. In the event that the Company issues securities at a price below the exercise price, then the exercise price shall be reduced by a weighted average.
We have accounted for this transaction as the issuance of convertible debt and a detachable stock warrant. The total proceeds of $500,000 have been
allocated to these individual instruments based on their relative fair value as determined by management. We estimated the fair value of its convertible debt at the time of issuance using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk-free
interest rate of 1.06%, a volatility factor 125.1% and a contractual life of one year. As a result, the notes and the warrants are carried at fair values of $264,361 and $235,639, respectively, at inception. The value of the warrant was recorded as
an increase to additional paid-in capital. The total discount on the notes of $235,639 will be amortized over the term of the notes. The amortization expense during this quarter was $78,546.
As of May 31, 2010, the Company is obligated on the April 2010 Notes issued to Sherington and Hancock in connection with this offering. The April
2010 Notes are a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitute a direct financial obligation of the Company. The April 2010 Notes and the April 2010 Warrants were offered and sold to Sherington and Hancock
in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Sherington is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
There were no sales of unregistered common stock during the three months ended
May 31, 2010.
Issuance of Common Stock for Services
During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, the Company issued 275,000 shares for services rendered, for a value of $48,125. Included in this issuance
were 100,000 shares issued to Ernst Schoenbaechler and 100,000 shares issued to Raymond Goldsmith. These shares were issued to compensate these two board members with the requisite 200,000 shares issued to all of the Companys board members.
Additionally, 25,000 shares were issued to each of three board members for additional services rendered during and directly related to the July 2009 financing negotiations, the value of which is recognized as offering costs.
There were no issuances of common stock for services during the three months ended May 31, 2010.

Note 14 Subsequent Events
On June 16, 2010, to obtain funding for the further development of the business, the Company closed a subscription agreement (the June 2010
Agreement) with one accredited investor (the June 2010 Investor). A total of 5,714,286 shares (the Purchased Shares) of the Companys common stock (the Common Stock) was purchased at a purchase price of
$0.175 per share. Additionally, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 5,714,286 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.175 per share; and a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.25 per share (the June 2010
Warrants) for gross proceeds of $1,000,000.
The June 2010 Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance
(the Exercise Period). Notwithstanding the Exercise Period, if at any time the average closing price for shares of the Companys Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exceeds $1.00 for a period of ten
(10) consecutive trading days or more, the Company shall have the right, upon written notice to the holder, to reduce the exercise period of the June 2010 Warrant to a period of ten (10) days beginning on the date of the written notice.
The exercise price of the June 2010 Warrant is subject to customary adjustments, provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
Pierre Besuchet, a director of the Company, held stock options to acquire 1,000,000 shares of common stock, which were issued April 30, 2008, in
recognition of his efforts to introduce investors. These options expired without exercise on April 30, 2010. Mr. Besuchet introduced the June 2010 Investor, and Mr. Besuchet and the Company entered into a fee agreement, dated
June 14, 2010, to outline their business relationship and the compensation that Mr. Besuchet shall earn in connection with the financing. Under this agreement, Mr. Besuchet received a cash referral fee of $50,000 and the Company
issued to Mr. Besuchet a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The term of the warrant is for 36 months.
Further, the Company issued to Sherington a Fourth Amended and Restated Warrant (the Fourth Warrant), amending the number of shares that
Sherington is entitled to from 19,963,263 shares to 12,412,427 shares, and also recognizing a decreased interest in the Company from 57.08% to 49.98%. The Fourth Warrant provides that Sherington is entitled to purchase from the Company a total of
12,412,427 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price equal to $0.175 per
20
share through December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fourth Warrant shall only be exercisable so that Sherington may maintain its percentage interest in the Company of
approximately 49.98% and is only exercisable by Sherington if and when there has occurred a full or partial exercise of any derivative securities of the Company outstanding as of July 1, 2009 (but excluding the securities held by Sherington),
the 4,000,000 warrants issued to the investor and the 1,000,000 warrants issued to Mr. Besuchet as part of this financing. The exercise price of the Fourth Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower
price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments, provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
The securities were offered and sold to the June 2010 Investor in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. The June 2010 Investor is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933.
Also in June 2010, in transactions unrelated to the financing, Sherington and Mrs. Dorothy Hancock converted $1,250,000 and
$250,000, respectively, 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (Notes) into shares of Common Stock of the Company. Under the terms of the Notes, Sherington converted the outstanding amounts of debt at conversion prices of $0.15 and $0.175 per
share. Hancock converted at a conversion price of $0.175. As a result of these conversions, the Company issued 9,523,811 common shares in payment of the principal amount of $1,500,000 and 1,091,708 shares in payment of accrued interest of $164,927
as full and final settlement of the Notes. The balance of the discount of $157,093 on the two April 2010 convertible notes payable was expensed in June 2010.
ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the
financial statements in the annual report on Form 10-K filed on November 27, 2009. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends that might appear, are not necessarily indicative of
future operations.
Future Uncertainties and Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation. You should carefully review the risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and
the Annual Reports on Form 10-K. When used in this report, the words expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, targets, estimates, and
similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no
obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable.
From time to time, representatives of FNDS3000 Corp (the Company, FNDS3000, we, our, its or
us) may make public predictions or forecasts regarding the Companys future results, including estimates regarding future revenue, expense levels, earnings or earnings from operations. Any forecast regarding the Companys
future performance reflects various assumptions. These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties, and, as a matter of course, many of them will prove to be incorrect. Further, the achievement of any forecast depends on numerous factors
(including those described in this discussion), many of which are beyond the Companys control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Companys performance will be consistent with any of managements forecasts or that the
variation from such forecasts will not be material and adverse. Investors are cautioned not to base their entire analysis of the Companys business and prospects upon isolated predictions, but instead are encouraged to utilize the entire
available mix of historical and forward-looking information made available by the Company, and other information affecting the Company and its products, when evaluating the Companys prospective results of operations.
In addition, representatives of the Company may occasionally comment publicly on the perceived reasonableness of published reports by independent
analysts regarding the Companys projected future performance. Such comments should not be interpreted as an endorsement or adoption of any given estimate or range of estimates or the assumptions and
21
methodologies upon which such estimates are based. Undue reliance should not be placed on any comments regarding the conformity, or lack thereof, of any independent estimates with the
Companys own present expectations regarding its future results of operations. The methodologies employed by the Company in arriving at its own internal projections and the approaches taken by independent analysts in making their estimates are
likely different in many significant respects. Although the Company may presently perceive a given estimate to be reasonable, changes in the Companys business, market conditions or the general economic climate may have varying effects on the
results obtained using differing analyses and assumptions. The Company expressly disclaims any continuing responsibility to advice analysts or the public markets of its view regarding the current accuracy of the published estimates of outside
analysts. Persons relying on such estimates should pursue their own independent investigation and analysis of their accuracy and the reasonableness of the assumptions on which they are based.
BUSINESS
In accordance with
Item 303 (b) (Instructions to Item 303 (b): 2), the Company recommends and presumes that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to our last annual filing (Form 10-K filing) filed
November 27 2009; and in relation to this discussion and analysis, such users have in particular read the section of that document headed BUSINESS DESCRIPTION.
Process of Issuance
There are
several steps in the process of getting prepaid cards productively in the hands of cardholders, and care must be taken in understanding the terminology used to describe the numbers of cards at the different steps. In the majority of our programs,
the sequence of steps is as follows:
|
|
|
Cards ordered.
The first step is an order by the corporate client for a number of blank cards. This may be made several months before
the date of issuance. The corporate client pays the initial costs at this stage.
|
|
|
|
Cards distributed.
Upon manufacture and receipt of the cards, they are distributed to the corporate client and/or the custodian designated
by them according to the clients timing schedule.
|
|
|
|
Cards issued.
Individual cards are identified with the names of specific individuals either as they are issued to the individual or
preparatory to this step.
|
|
|
|
Cards activated.
Activation occurs when the cardholder sets a personal identification number (PIN).
|
|
|
|
Cards loaded.
This final step occurs when the corporate client loads funds into the personal record of the cardholder, making the card
usable.
|
Progress from September 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010
On August 28, 2009, the Company announced completion of the Pilot Test Phase (Pilot). During the Pilot, a limited number of cards had
been introduced to the South Africa market, allowing a test of the full range of transaction processes alongside the development of further product enhancements, more comprehensive customer service operations and advanced fraud prevention protocols.
On August 28, 2009, the Company also announced the commencement in September of the Market Volume Test phase (Market Test), which began with an initial distribution of approximately 10,000 prepaid cards to corporate clients and
their cardholders.
The prime objective of the Market Test was to ensure stability, confirming and validating the processes and systems
required to handle the higher volume of prepaid cards to be processed during the Production Roll-Out. The Market Test was conducted by continuing the distribution of our cards to corporate clients while simultaneously stress-testing our processes
and systems. This was accomplished by increasing the number of transactions being handled, while continuing to meet the service expectations of our customers. During this phase, some minor systems problems, related to South African local specifics,
did emerge. However, these issues were quickly identified, addressed and rectified.
As the Market Test progressed in October and November, it
became evident that the process of delivering cards to cardholders, in an environment where physical addresses are not always well defined and logistical options are limited, was taking our corporate clients longer than they projected. The Company
took steps, in cooperation with our distributors and corporate clients, to improve the planning and execution of the delivery and activation process, and early indications were that card activation rates were improving.
22
As part of the Market Test, the Company implemented closer and more detailed evaluation of the financial
results of those cards that were activated, and management found these early results of revenue margin growth to be fairly encouraging. On December 22, 2009, the Company announced completion of the Market Test Phase and commencement of
Production Roll Out.
The challenges of card distribution to cardholders were further hampered by the December festive season. In South
Africa, this coincides with high summer, resulting in high vacation absences within the operations of our customers and slower progress on any organizational changes. This situation continued into the early new year.
Progress was further slowed by internal difficulties related to one of our key distributors, Australis. These difficulties increased through the second
quarter and ultimately led to an agreement in March between the Company and Australis to terminate the agreement between the companies. Thereafter, FNDS3000 Corp entered into direct contractual relationships with the customers of Australis.
By January 31, 2010, we had surpassed the threshold of 100,000 cards distributed to corporate clients, thereby meeting the covenant test
in the Sherington loan agreement.
During the second and third quarters of the fiscal year, the Company further developed its plans and
programs for micro-financing, which offers particular attractions in high volume potential, repeat business and does not have the challenges of distribution in that the cardholder is present at the time that cash is loaded.
The delays experienced during its development phases have extended the period during which the Company must expend funds without having significant
revenue, leading to the need for additional financing. Further financing was obtained in the last fiscal year (see Form 10-K filed on November 27, 2009). On September 23 2009, the Company announced that it was in the process of securing
the additional financing required. As a company in its early stages of operations, only equity financing and loans associated with equity purchases are practicable.
On November 5 2009, the Company announced an agreement for $1.5 million through the issuance of its common stock and warrants. This announcement
included that the Company was launching a mobile banking initiative for which Sherington, the major investor, would contribute the services of a consultant. The financing was in two tranches. The first, of $500,000, closed on November 2, 2009
and the second for $1,300,000 closed on November 30 2009. For the second closing, $1,081,000 of the funds was received on December 2, 2009.
On April 15, 2010, the Company announced the completion of a non-brokered financing agreement for a total of $500,000.
On June 16, 2010, to obtain funding for the further development of the business, the Company closed a subscription agreement (the June 2010
Agreement) with one accredited investor (the June 2010 Investor) pursuant to which the June 2010 Investor purchased, in the aggregate, (i) 5,714,286 shares (the Purchased Shares) of the Companys common stock,
$0.001 par value (the Common Stock), at a purchase price of $0.175 per share; (ii) a warrant, to purchase, in the aggregate, 5,714,286 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.175 per share; and (iii) a warrant, to purchase, in
the aggregate, 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.25 per share (the June 2010 Warrants) for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000.
The June 2010 Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance (the Exercise Period). Notwithstanding the
Exercise Period, if at any time the average closing price for shares of the Companys Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exceeds $1.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or more, the Company shall have the
right, upon written notice to the holder, to reduce the exercise period of the June 2010 Warrant to a period of ten (10) days beginning on the date of the written notice. The exercise price of the June 2010 Warrant is subject to customary
adjustments, provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
Pierre Besuchet, a director of the
Company, held stock options to acquire 1,000,000 shares of common stock, which stock options were issued April 30, 2008 in recognition of his efforts to introduce investors. These options expired without exercise on
April 30, 2010. Mr. Besuchet introduced the June 2010 Investor, and Mr. Besuchet and the Company entered into a fee agreement dated June 14, 2010 to outline their business relationship and the compensation that
Mr. Besuchet shall earn in connection with the Financing. Under this agreement, Mr. Besuchet received a cash referral fee of $50,000 and the Company issued to Mr. Besuchet a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The term of the warrant is for 36 months.
Further, the Company issued to
Sherington a Fourth Amended and Restated Warrant (the Fourth Warrant), amending the number of shares that Sherington is entitled to from 19,963,263 shares to 12,412,427 shares and also recognizing a
23
decreased interest in the Company from 57.08% to 49.98%. The Fourth Warrant provides that Sherington is entitled to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 12,412,427 shares of Common Stock of
the Company at a price equal to $0.175 per share through December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fourth Warrant shall only be exercisable so that Sherington may maintain its percentage interest in the Company of approximately
49.98% and is only exercisable by Sherington if and when there has occurred a full or partial exercise of any derivative securities of the Company outstanding as of July 1, 2009 (but excluding the securities held by Sherington), the 4,000,000
warrants issued to the investor and the 1,000,000 warrants issued to Mr. Besuchet as part of this financing. The exercise price of the Fourth Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances
by the Company, as well as customary adjustments, provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
In
transactions unrelated to the financing, Sherington and Mrs. Dorothy Hancock converted $1,250,000 and $250,000, respectively, 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (Notes) into shares of Common Stock of the Company. Under the terms of
the Notes, Sherington converted the outstanding amounts of debt at conversion prices of $0.15 and $0.175 per share. Mrs. Hancock converted at a conversion price of $0.175. As a result of these conversions, the Company issued 9,523,811 common
shares in payment of the principal amount of $1,500,000 and 1,091,708 shares in payment of accrued interest of $164,927 as full and final settlement of the Notes.
As of the date of filing, the Company cannot be confident that combination of the funds that it holds today and the advancement of revenue generation
will be adequate to fund all further development costs, and therefore, cannot, be assured that further financing will not be required.
Result of Operations
This discussion
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the notes thereto, as well as the other sections of this Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains a number of
forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this Quarterly Report. Our actual results may differ materially.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2010 and 2009.
Discontinued Operations
In May of 2009, we sold the Atlas subsidiary. Accordingly, for all periods presented herein, the financial statements have been conformed to this
presentation. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts and analyses are based on continuing operations only.
Three months ended May 31,
2010 compared to three months ended May 31, 2009
Revenue
For the three months ended May 31, 2010, revenue was $110,274, an increase of $67,209, or 156.1%, as compared to $43,065 for the three months ended
May 31, 2009. The increase in revenue consisted of approximately $50,000 from ATM withdrawal fees, $7,000 from the sale of cards and security tokens and $10,000 of other fee-based revenue.
For the three months ended May 31, 2010, revenue from transactions attributed to the customers of one distributor, ProCard, of approximately
$53,000, or 48.1% of this quarters revenue, was comprised of approximately $41,000 from various transaction fees, $7,000 from service charge fees and $5,000 from sales of card stock. The direct customers revenue of approximately $42,000
consisted of approximately $21,000 from transaction fees, $17,000 from service charge fees and $4,000 from sales of card stock. Revenue from other sources consisted of approximately $7,000 from the sale of cards and tokens, $7,000 from transaction
fees and $1,000 from service charge fees.
As compared to the prior quarters revenue of $89,414, revenue of $110,274 for the three
months ended May 31, 2010 increased $20,860, or 23.3%. ATM fees accounted for approximately $50,000 of revenue earned this quarter while various other fees accounted for approximately $44,000 and $16,000 was for plastic cards and tokens.
Approximately $14,000 of the $20,860 increase over the prior quarter relates to revenue from the direct customers (formerly the Australis
customers) and $11,000 was attributable to ProCard. Sales of tokens earned approximately $5,000 and $3,000 was earned through other distributors customers. Offsetting the increases is a decrease of approximately $12,000 for revenue earned
through the Exchange 4 Free distributor.
For the three months ended May 31, 2009, revenue of $43,065 consisted of approximately $35,000
from the sale of cards and security tokens and $8,000 of fee-based revenue.

|
|
|
|
data hosting services were approximately $35,000 as compared to $5,000 during the third quarter last year;

|
|
|
we have no set-up costs this quarter as compared to the $13,000 cost recognized in the third quarter of 2009.
|
Compared to the prior quarters costs of $147,958, the cost of revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2010 increased $23,259, or 15.7%.
Costs as a percentage of revenue were 155.3% for this quarter as compared to 165.5% for last quarter, a decrease of 10.2%. Components for the increase include a charge of $18,000 related to ATM fees, $3,000 related to service charges and $2,000 for
revenue sharing expense.
For the three months ended May 31, 2009, cost of revenue was $56,093 and consisted of approximately $33,000 for
card stock $13,000 for fees incurred during the set up and beta testing of our South Africa operations, $5,000 for hosting fees, $3,000 for bank fees and $2,000 represents other processing expenses.
Operating Expenses
For the three
months ended May 31, 2010, total operating expenses were $873,021, a decrease of $62,551, or 6.7%, as compared to total operating expenses of $935,572 for the three months ended May 31, 2009.
Operating expenses of $873,021 for the three months ended May 31, 2010 were comprised of:
|
|
|
approximately $407,000 for salaries and benefits as compared to $484,000 for the prior years comparable period. The decrease of $77,000 reflects
an approximate $102,000 decrease in wages to all US-based employees who have agreed to reduced salaries while we manage our cash flow. Additionally, recruitment and training expense decreased approximately $8,000. These decreases are offset by
increases of approximately $17,000 of non-cash equity compensation expense and $16,000 for temporary labor to assist with new customer set-up;
|
|
|
|
approximately $51,000 for travel expenses as compared to $140,000 for the prior years comparable period, a decrease of $89,000 as
managements hands-on support of the South Africa operations has decreased;
|
|
|
|
approximately $279,000 for professional and consultant fees as compared to $167,000 for the prior years comparable period. The increase of
approximately $112,000 reflects $49,000 of increased computer consulting and $86,000 for non-cash equity-based consulting expense for directors and the Sherington consultant all of which is offset by decreases of approximately $19,000 for legal fees
and $4,000 for accounting fees;
|
|
|
|
approximately $75,000 for depreciation and amortization expense, an increase of $6,000 as compared to $69,000 for the prior years comparable
period;
|
|
|
|
approximately $62,000 of other expense as compared to $76,000 for the prior years comparable period. The decrease of approximately $14,000 is
attributed to decreases of approximately $10,000 for insurance, $7,000 for dues and subscriptions and $3,000 for other miscellaneous office costs, which are offset by an increase of approximately $3,000 in the cost of communication and $3,000 of
costs that were charged to a related party during the three months ended May 31, 2009.
|
When comparing the three months
ended May 31, 2010 to the prior quarter, total operating expenses of $873,021 represent a decrease of $43,535, or 4.7%, from $916,556.
Key factors for the decrease include:
|
|
|
decreased salaries and benefits expense of approximately $49,000 due to reduced salaries and taxes of approximately $61,000 for the US-based employees
and a reduced paid-time-off expense of $6,000, which is offset by an increase of approximately $16,000 for temporary labor in South Africa;
|
|
|
|
travel expense of approximately $51,000 as compared to $63,000, reflecting a decrease of approximately $12,000 as managements hands-on support of
the South Africa operations has declined;
|
|
|
|
professional and consulting expense of approximately $278,000, as compared to $241,000 for the prior quarter, representing an increase of approximately
$38,000 due to an increase of approximately $28,000 for non-cash equity-based compensation for directors and other consultants, and approximately $11,000 for computer consultants. Offsetting the increase is a decrease of approximately $1,000 for
legal and audit fees;
|
|
|
|
depreciation expense increased approximately $6,000, and
|
26
|
|
|
other office expense of approximately $62,000 as compared to $88,000, a decrease of approximately $26,000 due to decreased bad debt expense of
approximately $28,000 and $4,000 for subscriptions offset by an increase of approximately $6,000 for office lease expense as the corporate offices rent discount expired.
|
For the three months ended May 31, 2009, operating expense of approximately $936,000 was comprised of approximately $18,000 for labor costs due to
vested options, $466,000 for salaries and benefits, $167,000 for professional and consultant fees, $140,000 for travel expense and $69,000 for depreciation and amortization. Other office expense of approximately $76,000 includes $30,000 for rent and

Other Income and Expense
Total
other income and expense for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 netted to an expense of $116,168 and $5,664, respectively, representing 105.3% and 13.2%, respectively, of revenue.
For the three months ended May 31, 2010, components of the $116,168 included approximately $79,000 of non-cash interest expense related to a
discount on convertible notes issued with warrants; $33,000 for accrued non-cash interest on the convertible note payable; a loss of $5,000 on foreign currency translation and interest income of $1,000.
As compared to the prior quarter ended February 28, 2010, other income and expense decreased $14,734, or 11.3%, as compared to a net expense of
$130,901. As a percentage of revenue, other income and expense was 105.3% for this quarter as compared to 146.4% for last quarter. Components of the variance include a decrease of approximately $125,000 for non-cash interest expense related to the
beneficial conversion benefit offset by an increase of approximately $86,000 of interest expense due to the discount on convertible notes issued with warrants and other interest; an increase of $22,000 for the effect of the foreign currency
translation and interest income decreased $2,000.
For the three months ended May 31, 2009, components of the $5,664 net expense included

Nine months ended May 31, 2010 compared to nine months ended May 31, 2009
Revenue
For the nine months ended
May 31, 2010, revenue was $277,383, an increase of $225,592, or 435.6%, as compared to $51,791 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009. A significant portion of the increase in revenue can be attributed to the increased quantity of
activated cards, which accounts for increased fees. Additionally, the sales of the plastic cards and security tokens increased. Of the total number of active cards as of May 31, 2010 (approximately 15,200), approximately 13,700 were activated
during the nine months of this fiscal year. As the quantity of activated cards in the market continues to increase, we will recognize increased transaction-related revenue due to the increased quantity of transactions, and, as cardholders become
more familiar with the various uses of the card, they begin utilizing additional card functionality, which increases fee revenue.
For the
nine months ended May 31, 2010, revenue of $277,383 is comprised of approximately $124,000 of transaction fees, $74,000 from the sale of plastic cards and tokens, $70,000 from services charges and $9,000 of interest on transaction funds.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, transactions attributed to the customers of one distributor, ProCard, were responsible for
$117,247, or 42.3% of total revenue, with approximately $109,000 earned from transaction fees and $8,000 earned from sales of card stock. The remaining $160,136 of total revenue earned consists of approximately $70,000 from service charge fees,
$66,000 from the sale of cards and tokens, $15,000 from fees derived from the transactions of other customers and $9,000 from interest.
As
discussed above in the description of our progress this year, it is noted that we terminated the distributor agreement with Australis in March 2010. The former Australis customers are a large part of our revenue source this year. The Company is now
contracting directly with these customers for our services. Revenue associated with these direct customers was approximately $94,000, or 33.9%, for the nine months ended May 31, 2010. These customers represent a significant portion of our
revenue and we anticipate the continuance of this revenue source.
27
For the nine months ended May 31, 2009, revenue of $51,791 resulted from sales of plastic cards and
security tokens of approximately $40,000 and $12,000 for processing fees.
Cost of Revenue
For the nine months ended May 31, 2010, cost of revenue was $426,510, an increase $304,182, or 248.7%, as compared to $122,328 for the nine months
ended May 31, 2009. Costs as a percentage of revenue were 153.8% for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 as compared to 236.2% for the nine months ended May 31, 2009.
As the Company had successfully completed its various testing phases in late December 2009, card activation by the cardholders began increasing. As
activation and usage increased, so did related expense. Key factors for the variances for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2009 include the following:
|
|
|
transaction-based costs of approximately $83,000 compared to $4,000 for the same period last year, an increase of approximately $119,000 as the volume
of transactions increased;
|
|
|
|
data hosting costs of approximately $104,000 increased approximately $88,000 as compared to $16,000 for the same period last year as the agreement with
Vodacom to provide our data hosting facility at an estimated $34,500 per quarter did not become effective until December 2008;
|
|
|
|
an increase of approximately $69,000, or 100.0%, for annual maintenance fees related to the intrusion and fraud detection software, the installation of
which was completed in June of 2009;
|
|
|
|
MasterCard began charging their fees and the Company recognized approximately $53,000 for processing fees;
|
|
|
|
bank fees of approximately $42,000 increased approximately $13,000 for processing fees as compared to $29,000 for the same period last year;
|
|
|
|
services charges imposed by providers were approximately $42,000 as compared to no service charges for the same timeframe last year;
|
|
|
|
the cost of cards and tokens sold was approximately $33,000 with no change as compared to the same period last year; and
|
|
|
|
a reduction of approximately $40,000 as the program set-up process was completed by the end of fiscal 2009.
|
For the nine months ended May 31, 2009, cost of revenue was $122,328 and consisted of approximately $40,000 of program set-up fees, $40,000 for
transaction fees, bank fees of $29,000 and data hosting costs of $13,000.
Operating Expense
For the nine months ended May 31, 2010, operating expense was $2,779,345, an increase of $172,881, or 6.6%, as compared to $2,606,464 for the nine
months ended May 31, 2009.
Operating expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 was comprised of:
|
|
|
approximately $1,321,000 for salaries and benefits as compared to $1,447,000 for the prior years comparable period. The decrease of approximately
$126,000 reflects a decrease of $96,000 for the US-based employees, decreased equity compensation expense of approximately $96,000 due to reduced option grants, decreased recruitment and training costs of approximately $39,000 and decreased
insurance costs of approximately $3,000. These decreases are offset by increased paid-time-off accruals of approximately $85,000, $16,000 for temporary labor to assist with customer set-up and increased payroll taxes of approximately $7,000;
|
|
|
|
approximately $207,000 for travel expenses as compared to $302,000 for the prior years comparable period, a decrease of approximately $95,000;
|
|
|
|
approximately $820,000 for professional and consultant fees as compared to $532,000 for the prior years comparable period. The increase of
$288,000 reflects $127,000 of increased computer consulting, increased fees of approximately $81,000 related to certain managers who were employees for the majority of the first nine
|
28
|
months of last year and are now full-time consultants, $117,000 for equity-based consulting expense for directors and the Sherington consultant and $10,000 for a PCI consultant, all of which are
offset by approximate decreases in legal fees of $41,000 and accounting fees of $6,000;
|
|
|
|
approximately $215,000 for depreciation and amortization expense as compared to $162,000 for the prior years comparable period. The increase of
$53,000 reflects $58,000 of increased amortization of the GCC software asset and decreased depreciation of approximately $5,000 as certain computer equipment which was sold in February of 2009;
|
|
|
|
approximately $217,000 of other expense as compared to $164,000 for the prior years comparable period. The increase of $53,000 reflects the
recognition of an allowance for bad debt of $28,000, the elimination of, and thus an increase due to approximately $17,000 of certain costs that were charged to a related party during the nine months ended May 31, 2009, increased office lease
expense of approximately $9,000 as we added the South Africa office, $8,000 for communication expense, $4,000 for conventions and $2,000 for other office-related expenses which are offset by decreases of approximately $6,000 for insurance, $4,000
for investor relations expense and $5,000 for subscription expenses.
|
Operating expense for the nine months ended
May 31, 2009 of $2,606,464 was comprised of $100,000 of stock-based consultant expense and approximately $202,000 for labor costs due to vested options, $1,244,000 for salaries and benefits, $432,000 for professional and consultant fees,
$302,000 for travel expense and $162,000 for depreciation and amortization. Other office expense of $164,000 includes $64,000 for rent and utilities, $25,000 for communication, $32,000 for insurance, $18,000 for investor relations, $9,000 for
subscription fees and $16,000 in general office expense.
Other Income and Expense
Total other income and expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 netted to an expense of $340,890 and $51,478, respectively,
representing 122.9% and 99.4%, respectively, of revenue.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2010, components of the $340,890 include
approximately $167,000 of non-cash interest expense associated with the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible note payable, $83,000 for accrued non-cash interest expense on the convertible note payable, $79,000 of non-cash interest
expense a discount on convertible notes issued with warrants, a loss of $17,000 on foreign currency translation and interest income of $5,000. A revision effective November 2, 2009, of the exercise price of the convertible note payable resulted
in a beneficial conversion feature, which increased non-cash interest expense recognized between November 2009 and February 2010.
For the
nine months ended May 31, 2009, components of the $51,478 include approximately $69,000 for accrued non-cash interest on the convertible note payable, interest income of $13,000 and a gain of $5,000 on foreign currency translation.

The net operating activities for the prior year period resulted in a net cash outflow of $2,433,141 for the
nine months ended May 31, 2009 and reflects a net loss of $4,273,802, adjustments for non-cash items totaling $1,557,333 and increases in inventory, due to/from related parties, accounts payable and the stock price indemnity liability which are
offset by decreases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued salaries and benefits.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $6,607 and $127,269 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, the Company replaced two computers and purchased some office furniture.
Investing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 resulted in a net cash outflow of $127,269 as the Company invested $122,120
in additional equipment and software for the South Africa office, capitalized additional development fees of $58,325 for the GCC software license, and sold some of our equipment for $53,176.
Financing Activities
Our
financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $2,270,243, net of cash offering costs of $29,757 for the nine months ended May 31, 2010.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2010, the Company sold 11,791,428 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,757,118 and issued $500,000 of
convertible debt.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2009, our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $2,466,842 as the
Company raised $2,016,842 from the private placement of its common stock and warrants to purchase its common stock, assumed a $1 million note payable and paid off its debt for the remaining balance for the GCC software.
Presently, our revenue is not sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses. There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as
the continuation of our business is dependent upon the successful roll out of our products and maintaining a breakeven or profitable level of operations. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue through the
fiscal year ending August 31, 2010.
Due to the extended time required to build our infrastructure, as well as the additional time
required to assist our distributors and corporate clients as they encountered logistical and procedural delays, the Company has implemented certain cost cutting measures focused on reducing the corporate office expense and cash outflows. The monthly
gross salary expense of $71,000 for the US-based management and staff decreased $6,900 per month to $64,100 effective October 2009 through executive management salary concessions. Effective March 1, 2010, the monthly gross salary expense
decreased another $16,400 and effective April 1, 2010, decreased an additional $2,100 per month. In addition, in an effort to reduce travel costs, we have signed a six-month lease on a property in South Africa, which will reduce our cost of
lodging, and visits to South Africa will be extended, thereby reducing the number of overseas flights required. These reductions are intended to support the Companys goal of stretching its existing financial resources and reducing its
financing needs until South Africa is better able to support its operations.
We expect that our cash on hand and the revenue that we
anticipate generating going forward from our operations may not be sufficient to satisfy all of our cash requirements as we continue to progress and expand. Therefore, we will require additional funds to enable us to address our minimum current and
ongoing expenses, continue with marketing and promotion activity connected with the development and marketing of our products and increase market share.
Additionally, because we cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate significant revenue, we will need to raise additional funds to continue to
execute our business plan, respond to competitive pressures and to react to unanticipated requirements or expenses. We have previously estimated that delays could negatively affect our funds at an estimated rate of $250,000 per each month. We
estimate that we will require up to an additional $5 million in capital over the next 12 months. More specifically, we will need to raise approximately $2 million to provide us with necessary working capital to support our South Africa business
operations through to achieving positive cash flow, as well as to finance planned growth initiatives in that market, which may include implementing software enhancements to our current payment processing platform to support our anticipated
growth. We will require up to an additional $3 million to provide for strategic expansion of our business into other targeted developing prepaid markets, including those identified in other African nations, Eastern Europe and the Middle
East. We plan to raise any such additional capital primarily through the private placement of our equity securities. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our
current stockholders.
30
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on
our audited annual financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2009, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain
additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation and expansion of our business is dependent upon
successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
The financial requirements of our Company may be dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities of our directors and
additional private placements of our equity securities to our directors and shareholders or new shareholders. The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current
shareholders. Should additional financing be needed, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it
can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease
our operations. We do not currently have any plans to merge with another company, and we have not entered into any agreements or understandings for any such merger.
We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing any phase, all phases of the proposed business plan, or that we will be able to
continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company presently does not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate estimates, including those related to stock based compensation and revenue recognition on an ongoing basis. We
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and
equity, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue and Cost Recognition
Our revenue recognition policy for fees and services arising from our products is that we recognize revenue when, (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured. More specifically, issuance fee revenue for our
prepaid cards is recognized when shipped, transaction fee revenue is recognized when the transaction occurs and posts, and maintenance and financial float fee revenue are recognized when the products are used. Consulting fees are recognized as work
is performed and per contractual terms with the customer. Costs of revenue, including the cost of printing the cards, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Companys accounts receivable arise from the sale of cards and security tokens and for application and set-up fees. Accounts
receivable are determined to be past due if payment is not made in accordance with the terms of our contracts and receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed for all of our
customers and we generally do not require collateral.
We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for
adequacy. The level of the allowance account, and related bad debts are based upon our review of the collectability of our receivables in light of historical experience,
31
adverse situations that may affect our customers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective,
as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Goodwill
and Intangibles
We have a capitalized intangible asset, which is the purchase of the GCC software license from World
Processing, Ltd., the parent company of Global Cash Card, and associated fees relative to its modification to meet our needs. In recognition of the right to receive future cash flows related to transactions of the asset, we will amortize this value
over seven years as it is anticipated that the software will continue to grow with our needs. Additionally, annual impairment tests are performed with any impairment recognized in current earnings.
Long-Lived Assets and Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a
long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets or whether the remaining balance of
long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment.
We assessed the impairment of intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives, specifically the software license, and that review indicated that there has been no impairment to the fair value of the license.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has annual equity-based compensation plans, which are designed to retain directors, executives and selected employees and
consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company.
We account for equity instruments
issued for services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock based compensation was determined using the historical fair value of the equity
instruments. Fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The variables used in the option pricing formula for each grant are determined at the time of grant as follows: (1) volatility is based on
the weekly closing price of the Companys stock over a look-back period of time that approximates the expected option life; (2) risk-free interest rates are based on the most applicable monthly market yield on U.S. Treasury securities at a
maturity comparable to the expected term of the option per the Federal Reserve Statistical Release of historical interest rates as published on the Federal Reserves website; and (3) expected option life represents the period
of time the options are expected to be outstanding.
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based
Payment, allows companies to continue to use the simplified method to estimate the expected term of stock options under certain circumstances. The simplified method for estimating the expected life uses the mid-point between the vesting term
and the contractual term of the stock option. The Company has analyzed the circumstances in which the simplified method is allowed and has determined that use of the simplified method is applicable for the Company.
The Company issues stock as compensation for services at the current market fair value. We account for equity instruments issued for
services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. Prior to February 2009, the Company used quoted market prices as a basis for the fair value of the
common stock. Beginning in February 2009, the Company issued significant amounts of common stock in exchange for cash, which was used to determine the fair value of the shares issued for services at or near the time of these issuances for cash.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards require the input of
highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the share-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but
these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In
addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be
significantly different from what we have recognized in the current period.
32
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial position and results of operations of the FNDS3000 South Africa operations are measured using the parents currency,
the US dollar, as the functional currency; however, the original books and records are maintained in the South African Rand. Therefore, exchange rate gains and losses are considered to be transaction gains and losses.
Transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency. Gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are generally included in determining net income for the period in which exchange rates change unless the transaction hedges a foreign currency commitment or a net
investment in a foreign entity. Inter-company transactions of a long-term investment nature are considered part of a parents net investment and hence do not give rise to gains or losses. Assets and liabilities of these operations are
translated at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Income statement accounts, with the exception of amortized assets or liabilities, are translated at the average exchange rate during the year.
Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign currency-denominated
cash, receivables and payables, and generate currency transaction gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period are reported in other (income) expense, net, in our consolidated financial statements.

April 2010 Convertible Note Financing Hancock
-
On April 13, 2010, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement with Dorothy Ann Hancock, spouse of the Companys CEO, for the principal amount of $250,000. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company and Mrs. Hancock closed on the sale and purchase of the April 2010 Hancock
34

a warrant to purchase 1,428,572 shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.175. The Warrant is exercisable through April 13, 2012.
June 2010 Financing
- On June 16, 2010, to obtain funding for the further development of the business, FNDS3000 Corp (the
Company) closed a subscription agreement (the June 2010 Agreement) with one accredited investor (the June 2010 Investor) pursuant to which the June 2010 Investor purchased, in the aggregate, (i) 5,714,286
shares (the Purchased Shares) of the Companys common stock, $.001 par value (the Common Stock), at a purchase price of $0.175 per share; (ii) a warrant, to purchase, in the aggregate, 5,714,286 shares of Common
Stock exercisable at $0.175 per share; and (iii) a warrant, to purchase, in the aggregate, 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.25 per share (the June 2010 Warrants) for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000.
The June 2010 Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance (the Exercise Period). Notwithstanding the
Exercise Period, if at any time the average closing price for shares of the Companys Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exceeds $1.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or more, the Company shall have the
right, upon written notice to the holder, to reduce the exercise period of the June 2010 Warrant to a period of ten (10) days beginning on the date of the written notice. The exercise price of the June 2010 Warrant is subject to customary
adjustments, provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
Pierre Besuchet, a director of the
Company, held stock options to acquire 1,000,000 shares of common stock, which stock options were issued April 30, 2008 in recognition of his efforts to introduce investors. These options expired without exercise on
April 30, 2010. Mr. Besuchet introduced the June 2010 Investor, and Mr. Besuchet and the Company entered into a fee agreement dated June 14, 2010 to outline their business relationship and the compensation that
Mr. Besuchet shall earn in connection with the Financing. Under this agreement, Mr. Besuchet received a cash referral fee of $50,000 and the Company issued to Mr. Besuchet a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The term of the warrant is for 36 months.
Further, the Company issued to
Sherington a Fourth Amended and Restated Warrant (the Fourth Warrant), amending the number of shares that Sherington is entitled to from 19,963,263 shares to 12,412,427 shares and also recognizing a decreased interest in the Company from
57.08% to 49.98%. The Fourth Warrant provides that Sherington is entitled to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 12,412,427 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price equal to $0.175 per share through December 31, 2013.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fourth Warrant shall only be exercisable so that Sherington may maintain its percentage interest in the Company of approximately 49.98% and is only exercisable by Sherington if and when there has occurred a full or
partial exercise of any derivative securities of the Company outstanding as of July 1, 2009 (but excluding the securities held by Sherington), the 4,000,000 warrants issued to the investor and the 1,000,000 warrants issued to Mr. Besuchet
as part of this financing. The exercise price of the Fourth Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments, provisions for stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
In transactions unrelated to the financing, Sherington and Mrs. Dorothy Hancock converted
$1,250,000 and $250,000, respectively, 10% Convertible Promissory Notes (Notes) into shares of Common Stock of the Company. Under the terms of the Notes, Sherington converted the outstanding amounts of debt at conversion prices of $0.15
and $0.175 per share. Mrs. Hancock converted at a conversion price of $0.175. As a result of these conversions, the Company issued 9,523,811 common shares in payment of the principal amount of $1,500,000 and 1,091,708 shares in payment of
accrued interest of $164,927 as full and final settlement of the Notes.
The securities were offered and sold to the above investors in a
private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. The investors are accredited investors as defined
in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
