MEETME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2013

 (Unaudited)

 

Note 1—Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

MeetMe, Inc. (the “Company”, “MeetMe”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), was incorporated in Nevada in June 1997. On December 6, 2011, the Company changed its legal domicile to Delaware. Effective June 1, 2012, the Company changed its name from Quepasa Corporation. The Company is a social media technology company which owns and operates MeetMe.com, previously known as myYearbook.com and Quepasa.com that completed its transition to MeetMe.com in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

MeetMe is a social network for meeting new people both on the web and using its mobile applications on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets that facilitate interactions among users and encourage users to connect with each other. MeetMe monetizes through both advertising and virtual currency. MeetMe provides users with access to an expansive, multilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing and other topics of interest to users. We offer online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations. We work with our advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placement.

 

The Company acquired XtFt Games S/S Ltda (“XtFt”), on March 2, 2011. On July 14, 2011, XtFt’s name was changed to Quepasa Games S/S Ltda (“Quepasa Games”). The Company’s wholly owned Brazilian based subsidiary, Quepasa Games, managed games development and the creation of intellectual properties business. On June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued the games development business and creation of intellectual properties business of Quepasa Games. On July 14, 2012 the corporate shell of Quepasa Games S/S Ltda was renamed MeetMe Online Brasil S/S Ltda and is focused on advertising sales in the Sao Paolo, Brazil office.

 

On November 10, 2011, the Company, IG Acquisition Company (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Insider Guides, Inc. (“Insider Guides”), doing business as myYearbook.com (“myYearbook”) closed a merger pursuant to which myYearbook merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Insider Guides operated a social networking website, www.myyearbook.com. As Merger consideration, the security holders of myYearbook securities received approximately $18 million in cash and approximately 17 million shares of the Company common stock (not including cash for fractional shares), Merger Sub changed its name to Insider Guides, following the Merger, and legally merged into MeetMe, Inc. effective as of January 1, 2012.

 

Interim Financial Information

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepares its unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2013 and its statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 14, 2013.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MeetMe and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), MeetMe Online S/S Ltda (formerly Quepasa Games S/S Ltda from March 2, 2011), and Insider Guides (from November 10, 2011 until its merger into MeetMe, Inc. effective as of January 1, 2012). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued its game development and creation of intellectual properties business. Accordingly, games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s purchase prices of Insider Guides and Quepasa Games (formerly known as XtFt Games S/S Ltda) over the fair values of the respective identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized. For the 2011 acquisitions, goodwill was not recognized for tax purposes. Goodwill is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review. Goodwill is evaluated using specific methods required in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), including potentially, a discounted cash flows method to determine the fair value of a reporting unit and comparison of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The analysis necessarily involves significant management judgment to evaluate the capacity of an acquired business to perform within projections. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, determined by conducting a valuation, then the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Management initially performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value including goodwill. In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill is impaired, the goodwill carrying value will be reduced to its implied fair value through a charge to operating expenses.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded approximately $2.3 million of goodwill impairment charges related to the discontinuance of Quepasa Games operations. Impairment charges for Quepasa Games are included in discontinued operations for all financial periods presented.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with GAAP, we review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. For assets which are held and used in operations, the asset is deemed to be impaired if its carrying value exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or estimated discounted future cash flows attributable to the asset. No asset impairment occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for loans payable and subordinated notes payable, net of discount, and related warrants also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.

 

We follow accounting guidance for financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).

 

The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Most significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of stock-based employee and non-employee awards, valuation of warrants issued with debt, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluating goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets for impairment, useful lives of intangibles assets and property and equipment, and the measurement and accrual of restructuring costs and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are 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.

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes and presents earnings or losses per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per share. Basic earnings or losses per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding, calculated on the treasury stock method for options and warrants using the average market prices during the period.

 

As the Company incurred a net loss in all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect of including them is anti-dilutive.

 

The following table summarizes the number of dilutive securities, which may dilute future earnings per share, outstanding for each of the periods presented, but not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share:

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements,” and ASC 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations.”

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012, we performed transactions with several partners that qualify as principal agent considerations. We recognize revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities, pursuant to revenue sharing agreements with advertising networks for advertising and with other partners for royalties on product sales.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, our revenue was generated from two principal sources: revenue earned from the sales of advertising on our websites and virtual currency products.

 

Advertising Revenue  

 

Advertising and custom sponsorship revenues consist primarily of advertising fees earned from the display of advertisements and click-throughs on text based links on our websites. Revenue from online advertising is recognized as impressions are delivered. An impression is delivered when an advertisement appears on pages viewed by members of the Company’s websites. Revenue from the display of click-throughs on text based links is recognized as click-throughs occur. Consistent with GAAP, we recognize advertising revenue from customers that are advertising networks on a net basis, while advertising revenues earned directly from advertisers are recognized on a gross basis. Sponsorship revenue is recognized over the time period in which the sponsorship on the website occurs. Approximately 71% and 59% of our revenue came from advertising during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

Virtual Currency Products 

 

Revenue is earned from virtual currency monetization products sold to our users.  The Company offers “Credits” and “Lunch Money” as virtual currency to our platform users. Users buy Lunch Money and Credits to purchase the Company’s virtual products which put them in the spotlight, helping to get more attention from the community and thereby meet more people faster on our platform. These virtual products are consumed immediately. Lunch Money is virtual currency purchased using PayPal by our users to buy premium virtual products on our platform. Credits can be purchased using PayPal on the website and mobile applications. Platform users do not own the Credits but have limited right to use the Credits on virtual products offered for sale on the Company’s platform. Credits are non-refundable, we may change the purchase price of Credits at any time, and we reserve the right to stop issuing Credits in the future. The Company’s virtual currencies are not transferable, cannot be sold or exchanged outside our platform, are not redeemable for any sum of money, and can only be used for virtual products sold on our platform. Lunch Money is purchased by users and used and recorded as revenue immediately. Credits are recorded in deferred revenue when purchased and recognized as revenue when used. For “VIP” and other subscriptions based products, the Company recognizes revenue over the one-month period of the subscription. For MeetMe Plus subscription product, revenue is allocated between the elements of the subscriptions, Credits and services, using the relative sales value method. The service revenue element of the subscription is recognized over the respective life of the subscription and the Credit revenue is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when used.

 

The Company also earns revenue from advertisement products from currency engagement actions (i.e. sponsored engagement advertisements) by users on all of our platforms, including cost-per-action (CPA) currency incented promotions and sales on our proprietary cross-platform currency monetization product, “Social Theater.”  The Company controls and develops the Social Theater product and CPA promotions and acts as a principal in these transactions and recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis when collections are reasonably assured and upon delivery of the virtual currency to the users’ account. When a user performs an action, the user earns virtual currency and the Company earns product revenue from the advertiser.

 

Social Theater is a product that allows us to offer advertisers a way to leverage the Facebook platform through guaranteed actions by Facebook’s user base. Social Theater is also hosted on the Company’s platform. Typical guaranteed actions available to advertisers are video views, fan page growth, quizzes and surveys. Social Theatre revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and the service has been rendered. The Social Theater prices are both fixed and determinable based on the contract with the advertiser.  The user completes an action and the electronic record of the transaction triggers the revenue recognition. The collection of the Social Theater revenue is reasonably assured by contractual obligation and historical payment performance. The delivery of virtual currency from the hosting platform to a user evidences the completion of the action required by the customer that the service has been rendered for Social Theater revenue recognition. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we executed a $6 million Social Theater cross platform revenue contract with Mexicans & American Trading Together, Inc. (“MATT”) the Company’s principal shareholder.

 

Approximately 29% and 41% of our revenue came from virtual currency product revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, one non-affiliate customer, an advertising aggregator, comprised approximately 32% and 25% of total revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 an affiliate customer, a principal shareholder of the Company, MATT and its parent company, comprised zero and approximately 26%, respectively, of total revenues. The non-affiliate and affiliate customers comprised approximately 31% and 64% of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

Discontinued Operations from Quepasa Games

 

On June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued its games development and hosting operations.  Accordingly, games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Game revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, the sales price was fixed or determinable, collectability was reasonably assured and the service was rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service had been provided to the player, we determined an implied obligation existed to the paying player to continue displaying the purchased virtual items within the online game of a paying player over their estimated life.

The virtual goods were categorized as either consumable or durable. Consumable goods represent goods that are consumed immediately by a specific player action and have no residual value. Revenue from consumable goods was recognized at the time of sale. Durable goods add to the player’s game environment over the playing period.  Durable items, that otherwise do not have a limitation on repeated use, were recorded as deferred revenue at time of sale and recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated average playing period of a paying player.  For these items, the Company considered the average playing period that the paying players typically play the game, to be 18 months. If we did not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual goods from the consumable virtual goods for the specific game, we recognized revenue on the sale of the virtual goods for the game ratably over the estimated average playing period that paying players typically play the game. Any adjustments arising from changes in the average playing period would have been applied prospectively on the basis that such changes are caused by new information indicating a change in the game player behavior patterns. As the Company controlled the game process and acted as a principal in the transaction, revenue for internally developed games was recognized on a gross basis from sales proceeds reported by pay aggregators which were net of payment rejections, charge-backs and reversals.

  

Games expenses represented the direct expenses for hosting, marketing, site fees, reporting and foreign taxes. Games product development and content expenses included salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges and production office costs and were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred. Game exit costs included severance costs of terminated employees and exit costs of office closure expenses and were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred.

 

Product Development and Content Costs

 

Product development and content costs, including costs incurred in the classification and organization of listings within our websites, salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, utility charges, occupancy and support for our offsite technology infrastructure, bandwith and content delivery fees, and internet game development and maintenance costs, are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Standards

 

We have implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact our consolidated financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Reclassification adjustments for discontinued operations were made to the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations for the periods presented.

 

 

Note 2 —Discontinued Operations – Quepasa Games

 

The games development business of our Brazilian subsidiary, Quepasa Games, were discontinued on June 30, 2012 in order to streamline efforts to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and focus on the Company’s core social network business. In connection with this closure, the Company transferred the hosting responsibilities of its games Wonderful City Rio and Amazon Alive to third parties, Quepasa Games office in Curitiba, Brazil was closed and all Quepasa Games employees were terminated. The games business closure qualifies as a discontinued operation and accordingly the Company has excluded results for Quepasa Games operations from its continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented.

Note 3—Notes Receivable

 

In February 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with BRC Group LLC (“BRC”) effective as of September 22, 2009. Under the Settlement, BRC’s indebtedness to us was reduced from $350,000 to $250,000, evidenced by a new promissory note (the “BRC Note”) dated September 22, 2009. The BRC Note contains a repayment term of 18 months commencing June 1, 2011, bearing interest at the rate of 4% per annum, such interest to begin accruing February 1, 2011. As collateral for the BRC Note, BRC issued us a warrant (the “Warrant”) permitting us to receive up to a 30% membership interest in BRC upon default. If BRC defaults under the BRC Note and the Warrant is exercised, BRC shall have 90 days to repurchase the membership interest for the balance of the remaining principal and interest to date. As a result of the Settlement and the Note, both parties agreed to a mutual release of the current litigation between the parties by filing a dismissal of the litigation with prejudice. Furthermore, both parties agreed to terminate all prior agreements between each other entered into before September 22, 2009, along with all duties rights and obligations thereunder. The current balance of the BRC Note was approximately $58,500 and $111,600 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. BRC continues to make payments on the BRC Note which is currently due and payable, and expects to repay the balance in full by September 30, 2013.

 

 

 

Note 4—Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the fair value of the intangible assets, not subject to amortization, from the acquisitions of Quepasa Games and Insider Guides. At December 31, 2011, management assessed relevant events and circumstances in evaluating whether it was more likely than not that its fair values were less than respective carrying amounts of the acquired subsidiaries pursuant to ASC 350 Intangibles, Goodwill and Other. After evaluation of Quepasa Games’ performance for the period ended December 31, 2011 and projected 2012 performance, management determined that Quepasa Games could not achieve the performance necessary for the earn-out provision of the stock-purchase agreement and would require an impairment adjustment. A valuation of Quepasa Games was performed and a $2.5 million fair value was determined. A comparison of the Company’s approximately $3.8 million carrying value of the Quepasa Games and the $2.4 million implied value of goodwill resulted in a loss on impairment of approximately $1.4 million in 2011. Quepasa Games operations were discontinued on June 30, 2012 and accordingly a loss on impairment of goodwill of approximately $2.2 million was recorded as loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The translated value of goodwill for Quepasa Games varied at each interim reporting period due to changes in the foreign exchange rates.

Note 7— Debt

 

Loans Payable

 

On November 10, 2011 in conjunction with the acquisition of Insider Guides, the Company assumed loans payable consisting of a growth capital term loan and three equipment term loans. The loans payable are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. Under the Loan and Security Agreement Number 2 (“LSA2”) growth term and equipment term loans, dated December 13, 2010, principal and interest are payable monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.50% per annum, and the loans are due September 2014. Under the Supplemental Loan and Security Agreement (“SLSA”), dated November 21, 2008, principal and interest are payable in monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.60% per annum, and the loan was repaid by April 2012. Under the Supplement Number 2 Loan and Security Agreement (“S2LSA”) dated January 22, 2010, principal and interest are payable in monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.50% per annum, and the loan is due June 2013. On February 13, 2012, the loans payable and security agreements were amended and restated to include additional debt covenants. The amendment includes limitations of additional $6 million of bank borrowing and indebtedness for leased office equipment.  The amendment requires that the Company’s unrestricted cash and accounts receivable be greater than or equal to 200% of the borrowers indebtedness and the Company’s unrestricted cash be greater than or equal to the aggregate amount of interest that will accrue and be payable through the maturity date of loans payable and security agreement. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the amended loans payable and security agreements debt covenants.

 

On April 29, 2013 the Company entered into an $8.0 million growth capital loan facility, at 11% fixed interest rate; maturing in 36 months, and which may be drawn in three tranches. On April 29, 2013, the Company drew $5.0 million on the loan facility. Interest is payable monthly for the first six months of the loan term, and monthly principal and interest payment are due thereafter through maturity date. The Company issued warrants to the lender in conjunction with the loan facility with an initial aggregate exercise price of $400,000 which increased by $100,000 with the first tranche and increases by $150,000 with the second and third tranche draw down of the loan. The growth capital loan payable is net of the discount of valuation on the related warrants (See Note 12). The discount is amortized on the straight-line basis over the 36 month debt term. The venture capital lender will have a priority first security lien on substantially all assets of the Company. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants related to this loan facility.

Subordinated Notes Payable

 

On January 25, 2008, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with MATT. Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement: (i) MATT invested $5,000,000 in the Company and the Company issued MATT a subordinated promissory note due October 16, 2016 with 4.46% interest per annum (the “MATT Note”); (ii) the exercise price of MATT’s outstanding Series 1 Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $12.50 per share to $2.75 per share; (iii) the exercise price of MATT’s outstanding Series 2 Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $15.00 per share to $2.75 per share (see Note 10); and (iv) the Amended and Restated Support Agreement between the Company and MATT was terminated, which terminated MATT’s obligation to provide us with the use of a corporate jet for up to 25 hours per year through October 2016. Debt issuance costs of $24,580 related to this transaction have been capitalized within the other assets section of the balance sheet were amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. The balance of deferred debt issuance costs was approximately $11,000 at December 31, 2012 and was included in other assets.

 

On March 5, 2013, the Company, Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“AHMSA”) and MATT entered into an agreement to offset the MATT Note with approximately $6 million of accounts receivable that MATT and AHMSA owed to the Company (the “Receivable”).  As of March 5, 2013, $6,254,178 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding under the MATT Note, and the Receivable had a balance of $6,025,828 plus interest of $222,446 from the agreement.  MATT exercised warrants dated October 17, 2006 at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “MATT Warrants”) to purchase 2,147 shares of common stock using the amount by which the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Note exceeded the amount of the Receivable.  As a result of these transactions, both the MATT Note and the Receivable have been deemed fully satisfied.  In connection therewith, MATT has agreed to exercise or forfeit the MATT Warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000 over an eleven-month period beginning in March 2013.  The Company recorded a net loss on debt restructure of approximately $712,000 in connection with the debt offset and warrant, attributable to the write-off of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs at the date of the agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement: (i) RSI invested $2,000,000 in the Company and the Company issued RSI a subordinated promissory note due March 21, 2016 with 4.46% interest per annum (the “RSI Note”); (ii) the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding Series 2 Warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $4.00 per share to $2.75 per share, (See Note 10); and (iii) the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding Series 3 Warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $7.00 per share to $2.75 per share. Debt issuance costs of $15,901 related to this transaction have been capitalized within the Other Assets section of the balance sheet and were amortized to interest expense over the life of the RSI Note. The balance of deferred debt issuance costs was approximately $6,300 at December 31, 2012 and was included in other assets.

 

On March 5, 2013, the Company and RSI entered into an agreement pursuant to which RSI exercised warrants dated as of March 21, 2006 to purchase one million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “RSI Warrants”).  RSI paid the exercise price of the RSI Warrants by offsetting that same amount under the RSI Note.  The Company paid RSI $107,504 in cash, which represented the difference between the aggregate exercise price of the RSI Warrants of $2,750,000, and the total amount of principal and interest under the RSI Note that would have accrued through the 2016 due date of $2,857,504.  As a result of these transactions, the RSI Warrants have been fully exercised and are of no further force or effect and the RSI Note has been deemed fully satisfied. The Company recorded a net loss on debt restructure of approximately $463,000 in connection with the warrant exercise and debt cancellation, attributable to the write-off of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs, and accelerated interest at the date of the agreement.

Convertible Note Payable

 

On March 21, 2013, the Company issued a non-interest bearing $600,000 note payable to a third party, maturing in six months from the origination date, in settlement of a trademark dispute. The note payable is convertible solely at the option of the Company into shares of its common stock. The Company will have the option to convert as a whole or in part up to the entire amount outstanding under the note payable into Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion notice (see Note 8).

 

 

Capital Leases

 

During the first quarter 2012, the Company executed two non-cancelable master lease agreements one for $1.5 million with Dell Financial Services, and one for $500,000 with HP Financial Services. Both are for the purchase or lease of equipment for our data centers. The HP Financial Services master lease agreement increased to approximately $1.7 million in the second quarter 2013 with approximately $330,000 new leases offset by payments. The Company and HP Financial Services periodically evaluate the master lease borrowing limits and increase amount as necessary. Principal and interest are payable monthly at interest rates of ranging from 4.5% to 7.99% per annum, rates varying based on the type of equipment purchased. The capital leases are secured by the leased equipment, and outstanding principal and interest are due through June 2016.

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

We lease our operating facilities in the United States of America, and Sao Paulo, Brazil, under operating leases and accordingly rent is expensed as incurred.

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. We operate our business online, which is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governments. In July 2011, the Company received a subpoena from the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) seeking records relating to our operations including specifically our e-mail marketing practices. Our attorneys advised us that federal law preempted the NYAG’s inquiry in the absence of any deceptive acts, and that they did not believe our e-mail marketing involved any deceptive practices. Nevertheless, we chose to cooperate fully with the NYAG and made certain changes to our email practices on Quepasa.com to address the concerns. On August 15, 2012, we entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with NYAG, agreed to pay $20,000 to NYAG, and agreed to comply with the State of New York laws and industry practices regarding certain e-mail marketing campaigns. The Company charged this expense to general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2012. The NYAG agreed to discontinue its investigation. 

 

On November 18, 2011, Jeffrey Valdez, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors who was also a paid consultant to the Company sued the Company in the Superior Court of California for breach of contract relating to the ownership and use of certain intellectual property that he allegedly created.  The plaintiff also claimed that the Company and John Abbott, its Chief Executive Officer, never intended to honor the contract.  The Company denies these allegations and maintains that the plaintiff did not create any original intellectual property and that the Company is not otherwise using any intellectual property created by the plaintiff.  The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss Valdez’s claim that the Company fraudulently induced him to enter into the Consulting Agreement. The Court also dismissed the claim against Mr. Abbott. On June 25, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and made a $150,000 payment to the plaintiff for release of all claims and charged this expense to general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012. Accordingly, the United States District Court in the Central District of California issued an Order to Dismiss with Prejudice on July 2, 2012.

 

On September 8, 2011, Stacey Caplan, a former employee of the Company, filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) alleging sexual discrimination by the Company in the period following her voluntary resignation from the Company. The Company denied the allegations. On July 6, 2012, the EEOC found the complaint unfounded and closed its file. On January 28, 2013, Stacey Caplan sued the Company and its Chief Financial Officer, Michael Matte, in the Florida Circuit Court for Palm Beach County for alleged unlawful discrimination on the basis of sex and tortious interference with contractual relations. On April 17, 2013 the Court dismissed the plaintiff’s tortious interference claims against the Company, and April 19, 2013 the plaintiff withdrew its claims against Mr. Matte. The Company believes the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

 

By letter dated October 23, 2012, a third party accused the Company of breach of contract and infringement of trademark. The Company recorded a contingent liability of $1 million for the probable settlement of this matter to accrued expense and other liabilities and charged this expense to general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012. In settlement of the matter, on March 21, 2013 the Company paid $400,000 to the third party and issued a non- interest bearing $600,000 note payable that is convertible solely at the option of the Company into shares of its common stock (see Note 7).

 

Future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.

 

Restructuring Costs

 

On November 16, 2011, management announced a restructure plan consolidating operations. Restructuring costs include the employee relocation expenses, severance costs of terminated employees, the costs of contractual termination benefits and future service required payments, and exit costs of office, data and service center closures. Employee relocation expenses and severance costs are expensed as incurred and classified as acquisition and restructuring costs. In May 2013, the Company announced a cost reduction initiative, including a workforce reduction of 15%. During the three months ending June 30, 2013, we implemented the workforce reduction and initiated further cost reductions by closing certain satellite offices and consolidating real estate facilities. We recorded restructuring costs of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 within operating expense related to the exit costs of non-cancellable leases and workforce reduction costs excluding the impact of stock based compensation expense reversals associated with employee terminations resulting from the restructure. Accrued restructuring expenses were approximately $2.0 million and $224,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company expects to pay approximately $1.8 million of the accrued restructuring expenses in severance and related employee exit costs to its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during 2013.

Note 9—Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On June 30, 2008, we entered into a transaction with Mexicans & Americans Thinking Together Foundation, Inc. (“the Organization”) terminating the Corporate Sponsorship and Management Services Agreement (the “CSMSA”). In consideration for the Transaction, we issued the Organization 25,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, (the “Original Series A”). Dividends on the Original Series A accrued from the date of issuance at the rate per annum of 4.46% on the Stated Value ($100 per share) and were cumulative. On May 12, 2011 the preferred stock was converted to 336,927 of common shares at the election of the Organization and dividend accrual terminated at the date of the conversion. On August 22, 2011, November 28, 2011, and January 18, 2012, $100,000, $50,000, and $100,000 respectively, partial dividend payments were made to the Organization. Accrued dividends were $69,455 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

On September 20, 2011, the Company amended the rights and preferences of the Original Series A (“Series A”). The Company sold 1,000,000 shares of new Series A convertible preferred for $5,000,000 to Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, LTD and Harvest Small Cap Partners, LP (collectively “Harvest’). The new Series A shares were convertible at a conversion price per share based on the following: the lower of (i) $3.5785 or (ii), if the Merger of the Company and myYearbook closed, the lower of (A) 85% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the Merger or (B) 85% of the volume weighted average price during the 20 trading days ending with the date of the closing of the Merger. On November 10, 2011, Harvest converted the Series A into 1,479,949 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38.

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (“Series A-1”) to MATT for $5,000,000.  MATT was an existing stockholder of the Company.  The Series A-1 shares are convertible, at MATT’s option, into 1,479,949 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38, and have voting rights on as converted basis.

 

Note 10—Common Stock

 

The Company issued 79,185 shares of common stock in connection with the exercises of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2013 (see Note 11). During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 1,002,147 common shares in connection with the exercises of warrants (see Note 12).

 

Note 11—Stock-Based Compensation

 

The fair values of share-based payments related to stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect over the expected term at the time of grant. Stock Based compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. During 2013 and 2012, we continued to use the simplified method to determine the expected option term since our stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term.

 

The Company began granting restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to its employees in April 2013. The cost of the RSAs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for RSAs is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. RSAs generally vest over a three-year period with 33% vesting at the end of one year and the remaining vesting quarterly or annually thereafter.

 

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our 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.

Note 12—Warrants

 

In March 2006, we issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share as compensation to our then Chief Executive Officer. These warrants were still outstanding on December 31, 2012 and expire in March 2016. During March 2006, we issued three series (Series 1, 2 and 3) of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $2.87, $4.00, and $7.00 as compensation for certain strategic initiatives, including acquiring the services of our then Chief Executive Officer. The Series 1 warrant was exercised in 2006. Of the remaining warrants 50% (1,000,000) were owned by RSI. Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding warrants was reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the RSI Note of $263,690, to be amortized over the life of the RSI Note, (see Note 8). The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and expire in March 2016. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note. On March 5, 2013, the Company and RSI entered into an agreement pursuant to which RSI exercised its warrants.   At June 30, 2013, the RSI Warrants have been fully exercised and are of no further force or effect.

 

The fair value of the modified warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate:

    3.24 %

Expected term: (years)

    6.0  

Expected dividend yield:

   

 

Expected volatility:

    105.7 %

 

In October 2006, we issued two series of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $12.50 and $15.00 per share to MATT in connection with the issuance of common stock. On January 25, 2008, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with MATT. Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement the exercise price of MATT’s outstanding warrants was reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the MATT Note of $1,341,692, to be amortized over the life of the MATT Note. These warrants expire in October 2016 and were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note. On March 5, 2013, MATT exercised warrants to purchase 2,147 shares of common stock using the amount by which the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the MATT Note exceeded the amount of the Receivable (see Note 7).   MATT agreed to exercise or forfeit the MATT warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000 over an eleven-month period beginning in March 2013 (see Note 14). For the six months ended June 30, 3013 approximately 203,637 warrants were forfeited. At June 30, 2013, MATT Warrants totaling 1,794,216 were outstanding.

On April 29, 2013 the Company issued warrants to the lender in conjunction with the growth capital loan facility with an initial aggregate exercise value of $400,000 which increases by $100,000 with the first tranche and by $150,000 with the second and third tranche draw down of the loan (see Note 7). The warrant exercise price will be the lesser of $1.96, and the price per share of the Company common stock issued in the next equity placement of the Company’s stock to occur after April 29, 2013, excluding any conversion of the March 21, 2013 Convertible Note Payable (see Note 7). The warrants expire on February 28, 2024 and include a cashless exercise provision. The aggregate exercise value of warrant is fixed at $500,000 with the initial drawn down of the Company’s growth capital loan, the exercise price of $1.96 is not considered variable, and the number of warrants is a factor of the exercise value divided by the exercise price per warrant. The Company recorded the warrant as paid in capital after evaluation of the equity classification.

 

The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate:

    1.96 %

Expected term: (years)

    10.0  

Expected dividend yield:

   

 

Expected volatility:

Company Overview

 

MeetMe is a social network for meeting new people both on the web and using its mobile applications on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets, including a combination of traditional social networking features (e.g. profiles, messaging, friend lists) and unique social discovery applications that facilitate interactions among users and encourage users to connect with each other. An example of such an application is the Live Feed, a location-based news feed that displays text, photo, and video posts of users geographically proximate to the viewing user. The MeetMe operating and user metrics include operating activity from the MeetMe.com and the former myYearbook.com website and mobile apps and excludes operating activity from the former Quepasa.com website and Quepasa Games.

 

Through the Live Feed and other features such as Locals and Match, users are able to discover relevant people around them. Once users connect through a feature, some portion of those users will take other actions with respect to particular users such as, viewing their profiles and sending them messages. The platform’s health is a function of its number of active users, the number of new users joining per day, and the average revenue per user.

 

Trends in Our Operating Metrics

 

We measure site, application and game activity in terms of monthly active users (MAUs), visits and page views. We define “MAU” as a registered user of one of our platforms who has logged in and visited our websites or mobile applications within the last month of measurement. A “visit” represents a distinct user session, and a “page view” is a page that a user views during a visit. For the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 the total MeetMe MAUs were approximately 5.4 million and 3.2 million, respectively. MeetMe visits were approximately 954 million and 321 million, respectively for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. MeetMe registered users numbered approximately 109 million and 83 million, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. MeetMe visits and page views exclude user visits and page views from iPhone users for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 because reliable data could not be tracked for that period.

Trends in Our User Metrics

 

We measure activity on our sites in terms of monthly active users (MAUs), daily active users (DAUs), average revenue per user (ARPU), average revenue per daily active user (ARPDAU), visits and page views. We define an MAU as a registered user of one of our platforms who logged in and visited our websites or mobile applications within the month of measurement. We define a mobile MAU as a user who accessed one of our sites by a mobile application or by the mobile-optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet such as the iPad during the month of measurement. We define a DAU as a registered user of one of our platforms who logged in and visited our websites or mobile applications within the day of measurement. We define a mobile DAU as a user who accessed our sites by one of our mobile applications or by the mobile-optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet such as the iPad during the day of measurement. We define ARPU as the average revenue per average monthly active user for web and mobile. We define ARPDAU as the average revenue per average daily active web or mobile user. Visits represent the number of times during the measurement period that users came to the site or mobile applications for distinct sessions. A page view is a page that a user views during a visit.

  

In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, MeetMe averaged 2.69 million mobile MAUs and 5.37 million total MAUs, as compared to 1.67 million mobile MAUs and 3.18 million total MAUs on average for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and net increases of over 1.02 million and 2.19 million in mobile and total MAUs, respectively. Increases of approximately 61% for mobile and 69% for total MAUs we believe are attributable to the successful rebranding promotions for MeetMe, and international expansion and marketing. Mobile DAUs increased 186,000 to 789,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a 31% improvement, from 603,000 in the first quarter of 2012. In the quarter ending June 30, 2013, MeetMe averaged 1.18 million total DAUs, as compared to 1.03 million total DAUs on average for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a net increase of approximately 150,000 total DAUs, or 15%.

 

We believe the shift of our audience from web to mobile is an important driver of our business. Our growth is largely driven by our mobile audience, which we currently monetize at lower rates than our web audience. We averaged 5.37 million MAUs on the MeetMe in the second quarter 2013, an increase of 9% as compared to 4.92 million average MAUs on MeetMe in the first quarter of 2013. The sequential increase in MAUs is attributable to acceleration in mobile MAUs. Our user base generated over 10.6 billion total page views in second quarter of 2013, an upturn from the 9.2 billion page views in the same period of 2012.   The decline in web revenue is gradually being offset by growing mobile revenues. We have successfully increased our mobile ARPDAU by 48% to $0.037 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $0.025 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. We recently released new versions of our mobile applications for iPhone and Android, encompassing 32% of the MeetMe total users, which provides additional native advertising opportunities. Our ability to grow our mobile audience and our mobile monetization at a faster pace than the decline in our web revenue will impact the performance of our business.

In the quarter ending June 30, 2013, MeetMe earned an average of $1.46 in ARPU on the web and $0.98 in ARPU in our mobile applications, as compared to $2.60 in web ARPU and $0.80 in mobile ARPU for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. We believe the decline in ARPU between the quarters ended June 30, 2013 from 2012 is primarily due to lower web and mobile advertising revenue brought about from the transition to mobile access and increased international users with lower initial monetization rates. In the quarter ending June 30, 2013, the Company earned an average of $0.124 in ARPDAU on the web and $0.037 in ARPDAU in our mobile applications, as compared to $0.132 in web ARPDAU and $0.025 in mobile ARPDAU for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter 2013 Highlights:

 

 

 

MAUs increased nearly 70%, averaging 5.37 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 3.18 million average MAUs in the second quarter of 2012. Mobile MAUs increased 61% to 2.69 million in the second quarter of 2013 from 1.67 million in the second quarter of 2012

 

 

 

DAUs increased 15%, averaging 1.18 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 1.03 million in the second quarter of 2012. Mobile DAUs improved 31% to 789,000 in the second quarter of 2013 from 603,000 in the second quarter of 2012.

 

 

 

Revenue attributed to mobile products was $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, an approximately 100% increase from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2012, with 43% of mobile revenue in the second quarter of 2013 attributable to virtual currency. Mobile ARPDAU increased 48% from $0.025 to $0.037 during the same period.

 

 

 

Mobile bookings revenue from our mobile virtual currency products and subscriptions increased approximately 87% to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $612,000 for the same period in 2012. The MeetMe+ mobile subscription product represents 28% of the mobile booking revenue in 2013.

 

Factors Affecting Our Performance

 

  

Number of MAUs and DAUs:  We believe ability to grow web and mobile MAUs and DAUs affects our revenue and financial results by influencing the number of advertisements we are able to show, the value of those ads, and the volume of virtual currency purchases, as well as our expenses and capital expenditures.

 

 

 
27

 

 

  

User Engagement:  Changes in user engagement patterns we believe also affect our revenue and financial performance. Specifically, the number of visits and page views each MAU or DAU generates affects the number of advertisements we are able to display and therefore the rate at which we are able to monetize our active user base.  We continue to create new features and enhance existing features to drive additional engagement.

 

  

Platform Trends:  We believe increasing use of MeetMe on mobile devices affects our revenue and financial results, as we currently display fewer ads on average to mobile users compared to users on personal computers, and we earn less revenue per ad impression as a result of the mobile advertising market being less established than the web advertising market. Increasing smart mobile device users provides opportunity for increased revenue. Mobile device users have a higher propensity to browse and engage in social media resulting in a greater share of time spent online happening on mobile devices. The majority of smart phone and tablet owners access social media from their devices through apps which are optimized for small-screen environment rather than the traditional fixed web access. The ratio of smart phone users is overtaking that of traditional phone users and a similar growth trend can be seen for the use of tablets compared to personal computers. Improving the rate at which we monetize our growing mobile traffic is a key priority, as we expect our users to continue to shift their usage from web to mobile for the foreseeable future. The acceleration in our user access to mobile impacted revenues negatively in the first six months of 2013 and we expect the impact to gradually abate as mobile monetization continues to mature and as the mobile advertising market grows.

 

  

Advertising Rates:   Similar to many other publishers, the revenue we earn per thousand ad impressions (CPM) on the web is on a downward trend, while CPM in our mobile applications has been rising, but remains significantly lower as compared to the web. Our revenue and financial results are materially dependent on these broader industry trends, and to the extent CPM continues declining on the web and is not offset by the rising CPM on mobile, our operating results may be impacted. We expect to continue investing in new types of advertising and new placements, especially in our mobile applications. Additionally, we are prioritizing initiatives that generate revenue directly from users, including new virtual currency products and a premium subscription product, in part to reduce our dependency on advertising revenue. The Company’s new mobile applications have increased our mobile native advertising unit inventory available for advertisers.

 

  

User Geography:  The geography of our users influences our revenue and financial results because we currently monetize users in distinct geographies at varying average rates.  For example, ARPU in the United States and Canada is significantly higher than in Latin America.  In 2012 and 2013, we laid the foundation for future international growth by localizing the MeetMe service into a total of thirteen languages with a focus on Western Europe and Asia.  We plan to continue to invest in user growth across the world, including in geographies where current per user monetization rates are relatively lower than in the United States and Canada.

 

  

New User Sources:  The percentage of our new users that are acquired through inorganic paid sources we believe has a material impact on our financial performance, specifically with regard to ARPU for web and mobile. Inorganically acquired users tend to have lower engagement rates, tend to generate fewer visits and ad impressions and to be less likely to buy virtual currency products. When paid marketing campaigns are ongoing, our overall usage and traffic increases due to the influx of inorganically acquired users, but the rate at which we monetize the average active user overall declines as a result.

 

  

Ad Inventory Management:  Our revenue trends are affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of advertisements we display. In general, more prominently displayed advertising units will generate more revenue per impression. Our Social Theater campaign expenses are materially dependent on the percentage of Social Theater campaigns that run on MeetMe.com and the percentage that run on our partners’ cross-platform networks. We work to maximize the share of Social Theater campaigns that run on MeetMe.com and run campaigns on our partners’ networks only when necessary to increase their reach.

 

  

Increased Social Theater Competition:  A significant portion of the revenue generated by the Social Theater is derived from advertising campaigns, powered by Social Theater technology, that run on our partners’ cross-platform networks and not on MeetMe.com.  A recent increase in competitors offering similar technology solutions, and in some cases their own cross-platform distribution networks, may make it difficult to compete on price and win business. We expect this downward pressure on price to continue and impact our operating results in the future.

 

 

 
28

 

 

  

Seasonality:  Advertising spending is traditionally seasonal with a peak in the fourth quarter of each year. We believe that this seasonality in advertising spending affects our quarterly results, which generally reflect a growth in advertising revenue between the third and fourth quarters and a decline in advertising spending between the fourth and subsequent first and second quarters of each year.

 

  

Headcount:   We expect to leverage and supplement our current talent pool through managed growth. We will hire additional software engineers, other personnel with technology expertise, and sales personnel to support mobile and international expansion.

  

Growth trends in web and mobile MAUs and DAUs are critical variables that affect our revenue and financial results by influencing the number of advertisements we are able to show, the value of those ads, the volume of payments transactions, as well as our expenses and capital expenditures.

 

Changes in user engagement patterns from web to mobile and international diversification also affect our revenue and financial performance. We believe that overall engagement as measured by the percentage of users who create content (such as status posts, messages, or photos) or generate feedback increases as our user base grows. We continue to create new apps and enhance existing apps to lift social sharing and increase monetization.  The launch of twelve additional languages to MeetMe facilitates international user growth.

 

We believe our revenue trends are also affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of advertisements we display and traditional seasonality.  Social Theater is a revenue product for MeetMe and on third-party sites.  Social Theater growth may be affected by large brand penetration, the ability to grow the advertiser base and advertiser spending budgets.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our unaudited consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), MeetMe Online S/S Ltda (formerly Quepasa Games S/S Ltda from March 2, 2011), and Insider Guides, Inc. (formerly known as IG Acquisition Company from November 10, 2011 until it merged into MeetMe, Inc. effective January 1, 2012). On June 30, 2012 the Company discontinued its game development and intellectual properties creation operations.  Accordingly, games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Most significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of stock based award for employees and non-employees, valuation of warrants issued with debt, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, and the measurement and accrual of restructuring costs. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are 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.

 

 

 
29

 

 

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board. In addition, there are other items within our unaudited consolidated financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts Receivable Allowances

 

We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses and for potential discounts based on historical experience and other information available to management.  Discounts historically represent less than 1% of the related revenues.  The fees associated with display advertising are often based on “impressions,” which are created when the ad is viewed.  The amount of impressions often differs between tracking systems, resulting in discounts on some payments. We have hundreds of customers that advertise on thousands of publishers, and it is not possible for all of the parties to agree to designate a single standardized system for measuring impressions. Differences between ad serving platforms with respect to impressions is primarily due to lag time between serving of ads and other technical differences.  For example: In the publisher’s platform an impression might be counted as soon as the web page opens; however, if the user were to close his or her web browser window as soon as the page is rendered, that impression data might not be counted by the advertisers tracking system, nor would the advertiser consider it a valid impression.  The discounts would be determined by taking the difference in impressions between the two tracking systems and applying the appropriate CPM (cost per thousand) that the impressions were being served, so if we agreed to a CPM of $1.00 with an advertiser, and we reported 100,000 impressions, and the advertiser had 95,000 impressions, the discount would be calculated as follows – 5,000 impressions divided by 1,000 multiplied by $1.00 to come up with a discount of $5.00.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Our advertising revenue is a combination of two components: remnant advertising sales and Social Theater campaigns.  Social Theater campaigns may produce individually significant revenue based upon the timing of the delivery of the campaign.  The Company integrates sales with aggregators for remnant Internet advertising that represent thousands of different clients. There are many of these aggregators that could provide similar sources of advertising revenue. Our business is not dependent on any one or a few major customers; however our advertising revenue composition may result in significant customer concentrations due to the timing of large Social Theater campaigns and advertising aggregators.

 

Contingencies

 

We accrue for contingent obligations, including legal costs and restructuring costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As facts concerning contingencies become known we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters that are subject to change as events evolve and additional information becomes available.

 

Income Taxes

 

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.

 

 

 
30

 

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock.  We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We follow the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. We have elected to use the simplified method described in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14C to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our 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.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our principal operating expenses are divided into the following categories:

 

  

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and non-cash share-based compensation for our employees engaged in sales, sales support, and marketing.

 

  

Product Development and Content Expenses: Our product development and content expenses including costs incurred in the classification and organization of listings within our websites, including salaries, benefits, and non-cash share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges, occupancy and support for our offsite technology infrastructure, bandwidth and content delivery fees, and internet game development and maintenance costs, are charged to expense as incurred.

 

    

General and Administrative Expenses: Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and non-cash share-based compensation for our executives as well as our finance, legal, human resources, and other administrative employees. In addition our general and administrative expenses include outside consulting, legal and accounting services, and facilities and other supporting overhead costs.

 

  

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses: Our depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses which have consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization related to our property and equipment, and intangible assets.  Currently the majority of our depreciation and amortization expense is attributable to tangible and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of myYearbook.

 

  

Restructuring Costs: Restructuring costs include costs incurred in conjunction with the restructuring of the Company’s business processes. Restructuring costs are recorded as incurred and include exit costs for the office closures and employee termination and relocation costs, and exclude the impact of related stock based compensation reversals.

 

  

Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest earned, interest expense and earned grant income. We have invested our cash in AAA rated, fully liquid instruments. Interest income relates primarily to the BRC Note discussed in Note 3 of our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and our cash balances.  Interest expense relates primarily to our Debt discussed in Note 7 of our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Earned grant income represents the amortized portion of a cash grant received from the Mexican government for approved capital expenditures. The grant was recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the purchased assets. The unamortized grant balance was written off on August 31, 2012, when the Company’s Mexico service center was closed and the related assets were sold or disposed of as part of the Company’s process re-engineering initiative.

Discontinued Operations from Quepasa Games

 

On June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued its games development and intellectual properties creation operations.  Accordingly games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Game revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, the sales price was fixed or determinable, collectability was reasonable assured, and the service was rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service had been provided to the player, we determined an implied obligation existed to the paying player to continue displaying the purchased virtual items within the online game of a paying player over their estimated life.  

 

Games expenses represented the direct expenses for hosting, marketing, site fees, reporting and foreign taxes. Games product development and content expenses included salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges, and production office costs, were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred. Game exit costs included severance costs of terminated employees and exit costs of office closure expenses and were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred.

 

The following table sets forth a modified version of our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss that is used in the following discussions of our results of operations:

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues were approximately $9.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $3.6 million or 27% compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2012. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 included $4 million of Social Theater revenue from an affiliate, one of the principal shareholders of the Company, Mexicans & Americans Trading Together, Inc. (“MATT.”) We did not have Social Theater revenue from affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Our revenue from non-affiliates of $9.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, increased approximately $428,000 or 5% from the same period in 2012. The net increase in non-affiliated revenue is attributable to increases of approximately $1.3 million in mobile advertising and virtual currency products and of $390,000 in Social Theater virtual currency product revenues offset by a net decline of $1.3 million web advertising and web virtual currency product revenues.

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses decreased approximately $133,000, or 8%, to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.7 million in 2012. Decreased sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to cost reductions of $171,000 attributable to decreased sales and marketing salaries, sales commissions, related expenses and stock compensation costs for decreased sales staff, of $47,000 for reduced travel and entertainment spending, offset by an increase of $84,000 in advertising and marketing expenses.

 

Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses decreased approximately $1.9 million, or 23%, to $6.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $8.2 million in 2012. The net decrease in product development and content expense is attributable to a net reduction of $1.1 million of third party content costs for cross platform Social Theater affiliate campaigns and is partially offset by an increase of $161,000 in third party processing fees for mobile virtual currency transactions. The drop in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 expenses also reflects cost reductions of approximately $502,000 associated with decreases in salary, bonuses, related expenses, and stock compensation costs for decreased workforce, of $189,000 for Quepasa.com web hosting costs related to migration and merger of the Company’s platforms, and of $114,000 in the cost of the Company’s platform language internationalization projects which were ongoing during 2012 and completed in the first quarter of 2013.

 

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses decreased $557,000, or 23% to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $2.4 million for the same period in 2012. The aggregate decrease in general and administrative costs is due to reductions of approximately $201,000 in trade receivable write-offs attributable to improved monitoring and collection processes, of $161,000 in salaries, bonuses, related expenses, stock compensation costs, of $160,000 in legal settlement costs, and a net decrease of $35,000 in travel costs, professional service fees, office expenses, and administrative costs.

 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation expense for continuing operations, included in the operating expense by category, decreased approximately $388,000 to $606,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $994,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily the result of reversals of unvested stock compensation for terminated employee related to the reduction in workforce which took place May 1, 2013. Stock based compensation expense for discontinued operations, included in the loss from discontinued operations category, was a recovery of approximately $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to the reversal of unvested stock compensation for terminated employees. The Company had no stock compensation from discontinued operations the same period in 2013.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $124,000 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $965,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets associated with the server and computer equipment acquisitions made in 2012 and 2013.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues were approximately $17.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $6.1 million or 26% compared to $23.4 million for the same period in 2012. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $6 million of Social Theater revenue from MATT. The Company did not have Social Theater revenue from affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our revenue from non-affiliates of $17.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, decreased approximately $162,000 or less than 1% from the same period in 2012. The decline in revenue is also attributable to a deceleration in web advertising and web virtual currency product revenues of $2.6 million and reductions in Social Theater revenue due to timing of campaign substantially offset by an increase of $2.4 million in mobile virtual currency product and advertising revenue.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $87,000, or 3%, to approximately $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $3.4 million in 2012. Increased sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $163,000 in sales commissions and sales office rent, offset by a net reduction of $76,000 in travel and entertainment spending.

 

Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses decreased approximately $2.0 million, or 14%, to $12.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $14.7 million in 2012. The net decrease in product development and content expense is attributable to a net reduction of $1.4 million of third party content costs for cross platform Social Theater affiliate campaigns partially offset by an increase of $389,000 in third party processing fees for mobile virtual currency transactions. The drop in the six months ended June 30, 2013 expenses also reflects cost reductions of approximately $621,000 associated with decreases in salary, bonuses, related expenses, and stock compensation costs for decreased domestic workforce; and cost savings achieved with the closure of our former Mexico service center and related workforce reduction; for migration and merger of Quepasa.com; and of $280,000 in the cost of the Company’s platform language internationalization projects which were ongoing during 2012 and completed in the first quarter of 2013.

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses decreased $101,000, or 2% to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $4.3 million for the same period in 2012. The aggregate decrease in general and administrative costs is due to reductions of approximately $211,000 in trade receivable write-offs attributable to improved monitoring and collection processes; of $173,000 in legal settlement costs; and a net decrease of $66,000 in travel costs, professional service fees, office expenses, and administrative costs; offset by an increase of $349,000 in board of directors compensation and accelerated stock compensation for the immediate vesting of stock options for the former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at March 31, 2013.

 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation expense for continuing operations, included in the operating expense by category, increased approximately $32,000 to $1.91 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.89 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The net increase is primarily the result of approximately $564,000 of accelerated stock compensation attributable to the immediate vesting of stock options for the former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at March 31, 2013 offset substantially by the reversals of unvested stock compensation for terminated employee related to the reduction in workforce which took place May 1, 2013. Stock based compensation expense for discontinued operations, included in the loss from discontinued operations category, was approximately $152,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and zero for the same period in 2013 and the decreased expense is attributable to terminated employees in 2012. Stock based compensation expense for continuing operations represented 7% of operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, there was approximately $4.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately two to three years.

Our cash balances are kept liquid to support our growing infrastructure needs for operational expansion.  The majority of our cash is concentrated in two large financial institutions, Comerica and JP Morgan Chase.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had positive working capital of approximately $5.0 million. The reduction in the Company’s working capital is primarily attributable to the offset of $6 million in accounts receivable and the cancellation of subordinate note payable with accrued interest from MATT. As of the date of August 7, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $8.0 million.

  

The Company may borrow up to $6 million of debt from financial institutions and under capital leases through its Loan and Security Agreement, provided that the Company has unrestricted cash and accounts receivable greater than 200% of its outstanding debt under the Debt Agreement.  As of the date of August 7, 2013, the Company owed approximately $9.1 million on its loans payable of which $56,000 is due through October 2013, and $931,000 is due through September 2014, and $4.9 million through April 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company entered into capital leases with an approximate aggregate original principal amount of $330,000. Together with capital leases that were previously entered into by the Company, as of August 8, 2013, the Company had a $1.7 million in principal amount of capital lease indebtedness, of which approximately $ 832,000 is due through June 30, 2014.

 

On May 1, 2012, the Company announced a cost reduction initiative including a workforce reduction of approximately 15%, in conjunction with our focus on mobile programming. Further cost reductions were achieved by closing satellite offices and consolidating real estate facilities. The Company incurred approximately $531,000 of cash expenditures related to employee severances and employee related costs during the second quarter of 2013. The Company expects to incur approximately $72,000 of cash expenditures related to employee severances, employee related costs, and exit costs for non-cancellable leases during the third quarter of 2013. The Company also expects to pay approximately $1.8 million in severances and related employee costs to its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during 2013.

 

The Company believes that, with its current available cash, anticipated revenues and collections on its accounts receivables, and its access to capital through various financing options, it will have sufficient funds to meet its anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months. 

 

We have budgeted capital expenditures of $1.5 million for the remainder of 2013, funded primarily through capital leases, which will support our growth of domestic and international business through increased capacity, performance improvement, and expanded content.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Our principal commitments consist of obligations for debt, capital and operating leases for equipment and office and data center facilities. There were no material changes in contractual obligations, other than the $5 million growth capital loan drawn on April 29, 2013, during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

 

 

Non-GAAP – Financial Measures

 

The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with GAAP, as well as a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

 

We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measure in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparison.

 

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of stock-based compensation, nonrecurring acquisition, restructuring or other expenses and goodwill impairment charges. The Company excludes stock based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our operating results from period to period after removing the impact of acquisition related costs, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items.

We have included a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between the Company and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measure to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (loss) from continuing operations allocable to common shareholders, a GAAP financial measure:

Management uses mobile bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performances of our mobile virtual currency products and subscriptions. The Company defines mobile bookings as the total amount of revenue from the sale of our mobile virtual currency products that would have been recognized in a period if we recognized all revenue immediately at the time of sale. We record the sale of Credits and mobile subscriptions as deferred revenue. Credits are recognized when spent by the user. For the MeetMe+ subscription product, revenue is allocated between the elements of the subscriptions, Credits and services, using the relative sales value method. The service revenue element of the subscription is recognized over the respective life of the subscription and the credit revenue is recognized as revenue when used. The following table presents a reconciliation of mobile bookings, a non-GAAP financial measure to Revenue, a GAAP financial measure:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

There were no material changes in market risks during the three months ended June 30, 2013. 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, noted during the evaluation of controls as of the end of the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls  

 

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.  The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business.  There are currently no such pending proceedings to which we are a party that our management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods. There was no material changes in litigation during the three months ended June 30, 2013.   See Note 8 to the financial statements contained in this report for information on specific matters.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by the risks and information set forth on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2013, in evaluating our business, financial position, future results and prospects. The risks described in these filings are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could also materially and adversely affect any of our business, financial position, future results or prospects.
