NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and instructions for Form 10 – QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for a full year.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 contained in our Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated March 30, 2005.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a) Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of Quotemedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quotemedia, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

b) Property and Equipment

 

     Cost

   Accumulated
Depreciation


   Net Book
Value


As at September 30, 2005,

                    

Computer equipment

   $ 81,064    $ 36,018    $ 45,046

Office Furniture and equipment

     17,406      11,156      6,250

Leasehold improvements

     6,020      669      5,351
    

  

  

     $ 104,490    $ 47,843    $ 56,647
    

  

  

 

Property and Equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Computer equipment    5 years
Office Furniture and equipment    5 years
Leasehold improvements    Term of lease

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Depreciation expense totaled $4,879 and $2,519 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. Depreciation expense totaled $11,665 and $13,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.

 

In 2005, we changed from the declining balance to the straight-line method of depreciation for equipment. The change was made because management believes that the straight-line method more closely approximates the equipments’ useful lives than does the declining balance method. The effect of the change to prior periods was included in depreciation expense in the current period as the effect was insignificant and had no effect on Earnings per Share.

 

c) Stock based compensation

 

We have elected to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations as allowed under FAS No. 123. The following pro forma disclosures are provided as required under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”.

 

As we grant all stock options with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of the grant, no compensation expense has been recognized under APB 25. FAS No. 123 uses a fair value method of calculating the cost of stock option grants. Had compensation cost for our employee stock option plan been determined by this method, our net loss and loss per share would have been as follows:

For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the stock options is amortized over the stock options’ vesting period. We have estimated the fair value of each option on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Weighted average fair value of options granted

   $ 0.34     $ 0.11     $ 0.34     $ 0.12  

 

d) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 entitled “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS No. 123R”). This revised statement addresses accounting for stock-based compensation and results in the fair value of all stock-based compensation arrangements, including options, being recognized as an expense in a company’s financial statements. The revised Statement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25 with supplemental disclosure in the notes to financial statements as previously allowed under FAS 123. FAS No. 123R is effective for public entities that file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FAS 123R will have on its financial statements.

 

e) Reclassification

 

Certain figures in the comparative period have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, with no effect on net loss.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In May 2004 we entered into a loan agreement with Bravenet Web Services, Inc. (“Bravenet”). We borrowed $250,000 from Bravenet with interest at 10% per annum. In September 2005 we borrowed an additional $250,000 from Bravenet under the same terms and conditions. It is anticipated that the loan will be repaid in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The President and Chief Executive Officer of Quotemedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, is a control person of Bravenet. At September 30, 2005, the loan balance due to Bravenet including accrued interest is $537,879.

 

In the first quarter of 2005 we entered into an agreement with Bravenet to provide customer promotion and lead generation services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, $100,400 and $279,451 in sales expenses payable to Bravenet were accrued respectively. Payment of amounts due to Bravenet are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2007. Interest is accrued at the prime bank rate minus 1%. At September 30, 2005, the balance due to Bravenet for service fees including accrued interest is $284,129.

 

At September 30, 2005, we owed a total of $239,783 to officers of the Company for amounts advanced to the company and for accrued unpaid salary. No interest is required to be accrued on these amounts. An additional $171,704 of unpaid salary is owed to an officer of the Company. This amount includes interest accrued at the prime bank rate minus 1%.

 

4. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

a) Common stock

 

On August 23, 2005, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock to an officer of the Company pursuant to the exercise of warrants at $0.10. The officer surrendered 111,111 shares of previously held mature shares of our common stock to pay the $50,000 exercise price. The surrendered common stock was valued at $0.45 per share which was the closing price of our common stock on the date of the transaction. The surrendered common stock was subsequently cancelled.

 

On August 31, 2005, we issued 29,412 shares of common stock to an employee of the Company pursuant to the exercise of stock options. The employee exercised a total of 50,000 stock options at an average exercise price of $0.21. The Company repurchased 20,588 shares of common stock to pay the exercise price of $10,500. The repurchased common stock was valued at $0.51 per share which was the closing price of our common stock on the date of the transaction. Stock based compensation expense of $10,500 was recognized as a result of this transaction.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. We caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion, elsewhere in this report, and in any other statements, made by, or on behalf of our company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on behalf of, our company. Uncertainties and contingencies that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

    lack of market acceptance of our products;

 

    dependence on third parties for data feeds for our products;

 

    failure to respond to evolving industry standards and technological changes;

 

    our inability to meet our future additional capital requirements;

    conditions beyond our control such as war, terrorist attacks and economic recession.

 

We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements. All references to “we”, “our”, “us”, of “quotemedia” refer to QuoteMedia, Inc., and it predecessors, operating divisions, and subsidiaries.

   $ 1,665,176    $ 646,282    $ 1,018,894    158 %

 

Licensing revenue has increased 150% and 158% when comparing the three and nine month periods respectively ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The majority of the revenue growth was from increased sales of our Financial Data Products. We continued to expand our line of Corporate Financial Data Products and Market Data Feeds which helped to contribute to the revenue increase from the comparable period. The number of Quotestream subscribers and the average subscription revenue per user were higher than the comparable period, also contributing to the increase in revenue.

Our cost of revenue consists of stock exchange fees, data feeds and bandwidth charges. Cost of revenue increased 69% and 41% when comparing the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The increase is primarily due to the cost of the additional data feeds required for new products and features offered in 2005. The increase is also due to variable stock exchange, data feed, and bandwidth usage charges resulting from the growth in the number of clients from the comparable period. Overall, the cost of revenue has decreased as a percentage of sales, as evidenced by our gross margin percentage which has increased from 59% and 46% in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 to 72% and 70% for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2005 respectively.

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing consists primarily of marketing, investor relations, travel, and printing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $99,717 and $286,489 for the three and nine month periods respectively ended September 30, 2005 when compared with the same periods in fiscal 2004. The increase is due to the costs associated with initiating the service of a contracted customer promotion and lead generation agency in January 2005. We anticipate that sales and marketing expense will increase in the future as additional promotion and lead generation services will be required to maintain our sales growth.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries expense, office rent, insurance premiums, and professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased $109,588 and $305,482 for the three and nine month periods respectively ended September 30, 2005 when compared with the same periods in fiscal 2004. The increase is primarily due to increased salary and director fee expenses. The increase is also due to increased insurance expenses resulting from added liability insurance coverage in 2005 and increased office rent expense resulting from Quotemedia, Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary, moving into larger office premises in June 2005. We anticipate that general and administrative expense will increase in the future due mainly to overall expansion. We also anticipate that general and administrative expense will increase in the future as the company moves toward becoming SOX 404 compliant.

 

Software Development

 

Software development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the design, programming, and testing of our software applications prior to the establishment of technological feasibility. Software development expenses increased $65,550 and $157,115 for the three and nine month periods respectively ended September 30, 2005 when compared with the same periods in fiscal 2004. The increase is due to the cost of hiring of additional software development personnel. We anticipate that software development expenses will continue to increase in the future as additional new software developers will be required to maintain the growth of the Company.

Foreign Exchange Adjustment

 

Exchange gains and losses arise from the remeasurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. Exchange gains and losses vary with the change in associated exchanges rates.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest is accrued on certain amounts owed to related parties. Interest is accrued at rates ranging from 10% per annum to the prime bank rate minus 1%.

 

Loss on Disposal of Equipment

 

In June 2005, Quotemedia, Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary, moved into larger office premises. As a result of this move, we expensed $2,587 which represented the net book value of the leasehold improvements associated with the previous office premises. In June 2004, we sold obsolete computer equipment for proceeds of $3,133. The equipment had a net book value of $13,442 resulting in a loss on disposal of $10,309.

 

Net income (loss) for the period

 

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $2,980 or approximately $0.00 per share compared to a loss of $56,238 and $(0.00) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2004. We incurred a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $128,243 or approximately $(0.00) per share compared to a loss of $258,734 and $(0.00) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. We have achieved quarterly profitability for the first time in the company’s history. We expect these trends to continue into the foreseeable future, as the company’s revenues continue to build based on the rapidly expanding market acceptance of our products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash totaled $533,087 at September 30, 2005, as compared with $131,265 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $401,822. Net cash of $237,900 was provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily resulting from an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities and deferred revenue, offset by our net loss for the period and an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $29,328 resulting from the purchase of new property and equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $193,250 resulting from additional loans from related parties, offset by the repayment of amounts due to related parties.

 

We are currently generating positive cash flow from operations. We believe this will continue for the next 12 months, as our revenue is recurring in nature based on client contracts which have one to three year terms.

 

Our current liabilities include $30,000 due to related parties. All repayments of amounts due to related parties must be approved by our Board of Directors. Repayments are subject to our company having sufficient cash on hand and are intended not to impair continuing business operations. Deferred revenue of $174,699 is also included in our current liabilities. The costs incurred to realize the deferred revenue in the next 12 months are minimal.

 

Based on the factors discussed above, we believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our current operations for the next 12 months. However, to implement our business plan may require additional financing. Additional financings may come from future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

Our long-term liquidity requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which we expand our business, and whether we do so internally or through acquisitions. To the extent that the funds generated from operations are insufficient to fund our activities in the long term, we may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if it is available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.

 

ITEM 3. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our quarterly reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. During the quarterly period covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
