We are offering 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, together with warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, in a firm commitment underwritten offering.

Each share of common stock is being sold together with a warrant, with each warrant being immediately exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $ per share and expiring five years after the issuance date.

References in this prospectus to “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refer to EFactor Group Corp. and its subsidiaries.

The Company

Overview of our Business

Our mission is to assist entrepreneurs in building and growing their businesses. We believe we are the only global company that combines a comprehensive online and in-person social network with business services and funding focused exclusively on the entrepreneurial community. Operating through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we provide our more than 2.0 million members with social networking opportunities, business services including education and mentoring, and funding including educational tools and opportunities such as donation-based crowdfunding. Coupled with members in every country of the world (196 countries) participating in 240 industry groups, we have created a global, resource-rich ecosystem for entrepreneurs and small businesses that serves as a source of inspiration and ideas and provides essential services to foster business growth.

Our operations consist of the following three divisions:

      Social Networks — Our social networks division is at the core of our company, offering numerous social networking tools to members, hosting live networking events, connecting business owners, providing direct member benefits and aggregating customer loyalty programs. We utilize our EScore™ benchmarking tool as part of our social networks division. EScore™ is based on our proprietary algorithm which allows individual entrepreneurs to benchmark themselves against a large pool of entrepreneur metrics and helps them find the resources they need for their own operations through a variety of innovative tools accompanied by available guidance and education to make qualified decisions.

      Business Services — Our business services division offers critical services to entrepreneurs to build their businesses including brand marketing, staffing, graphic design, public relations and other third-party business resources.

      Funding — Our funding division enables entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise money from donations and pre-orders by the general public through our recently-acquired subsidiary, RocketHub, a leading donation-based crowdfunding platform. In January 2016, RocketHub intends to apply for SEC approval to use the platform for equity-based crowdfunding following the SEC’s recent approval of equity crowdfunding rules. In addition, we are looking to expand our debt financing options for members with our strategic partners. We also provide interactive materials concerning financing needs and opportunities for our entrepreneur members.

Our Key Performance Metrics

We measure traffic and member activity on our websites and collect data for visits by members and other visitors, unique visitors, page views, number of average pages per visit and percentage of views by new visitors. We believe that, by tracking and responding to these metrics, we can increase the effectiveness of our network platform, enhance our members’ experience and improve our overall financial performance.

The following table sets forth these metrics, which we have collected internally using Google Analytics, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2014:

We believe the decline in pageviews results from the redesign of EFactor.com, which provides our visitors with more relevant information per single page. This has increased the loyalty of our existing members which is reflected by a significant increase of the portion of pageviews generated by returning visitors versus new visitors.

We estimate that approximately one-third of our more than 2.0 million members are “regular members” who visit one or more of our sites regularly (at least once per month), participating in our live, in-person events and reading or responding to our newsletters and other member communications. Since June 2014, we have averaged approximately 2.0 million monthly visitors (including members) to our EFactor.com website.

As used in this prospectus, “members” are individuals that have set up a member account at EFactor.com and “unique visitors” are individuals (both members and non-members) that visit EFactor.com or our other social network websites. A “visit” is a series of page views that a single visitor makes during a period of activity, with a visit ending after the visitor closes the browser, clears cookies or is inactive for 30 minutes. “Page views” refer to an instance of one user visiting or looking at a particular page on our website.

Revenue Model and Market Opportunities

We currently generate revenue through each of our three divisions. Our social networks division generates revenue by charging membership fees and providing sponsorship and advertising opportunities through our websites and at our networking events. Our business services division generates revenue by charging fees for the business items and related services we provide to our members such as public relations and advertising, and our funding division generates revenue from performance-based commissions generated by RocketHub on its donation-based crowdfunding platform.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, we recorded revenue of $3,458,473 and $1,634,602, respectively. We believe that, with our recent acquisitions including RocketHub, our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is in line with our internal quarterly estimates for the remainder of this year.

We believe that entrepreneurship globally is on a fast track, becoming the preferred option for both college graduates looking for a career and other individuals who may no longer have traditional long-term employment aspirations. According to Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (January 2015), an independent annual worldwide study of entrepreneurship, Millenials (those persons born in the 2000s) are more likely to start a business than look for a traditional career. In 2014, 300 million people around the world were estimated to be engaged in early-stage entrepreneurial activity, with the most active persons in the 25 to 35 years age group. The rise of the freelance economy (e.g., Airbnb and Uber) has already turned 14% of the U.S. workforce into entrepreneurs and millions of others into part-time entrepreneurs, according to the article. We believe that our targeted social networks, led by EFactor.com and our EScore™ technology, are positioned for growth as entrepreneurs seek specific and relevant resources to build and grow their businesses.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that our key competitive strengths are as follows:

Market leader in entrepreneurial segment of social networking. We believe we are a leader in the market segment for social networking among entrepreneurs, by being the only global company that combines a comprehensive online and in-person social network with business services and funding focused exclusively on the entrepreneurial community.

Integrated funding capabilities. We operate one of the world’s largest and most recognized crowdfunding brands through our recent acquisition of RocketHub, which has a registered base of more than 200,000 users, and has facilitated over $10 million in transactions. We believe our integrated funding capabilities complete our social network ecosystem and provide a compelling solution to what has been the biggest impediment for entrepreneurs — access to funding. In January 2016, RocketHub intends to apply for SEC approval to use the platform for equity-based crowdfunding following the SEC’s recent approval of equity crowdfunding rules. In addition, we are looking to expand our debt financing options for members with our strategic partners.

Robust network platform with personally-tailored resources. Our technology platform combines a wide array of proprietary coding and algorithms with elements of standard technology that allow us to scale and handle large volumes of traffic from members and other visitors. At the same time, using our EScore™ proprietary selection and matching algorithm, we offer specific content and resources tailored to each individual’s unique business needs.

2

Experienced management team. Members of our management team are industry professionals with years of experience in building and running large companies and a deep understanding of the social media space. Adriaan Reinders, our Chief Executive Officer, is an entrepreneur with significant experience building companies from start-ups to large-scale organizations with more than 1,000 employees. Both Mr. Reinders and Marion Freijsen, our Chief Operating Officer, have substantial international business experience building technology companies. Our management team is further supported by Mark Stanich, our managing director who previously served in key senior marketing and digital media positions at a subsidiary of American Express and at Time Warner, and Ruud Smeets, a co-founder of ELEQT.

However, we are still in an early stage of our development, we have experienced significant net losses over the past two years which are likely to continue, we compete with numerous larger generic social networking platforms and we need to raise substantial amounts of capital to grow our business. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in accomplishing our goals and developing a profitable business. Our ability to grow is impacted by these factors and the other risks we face in our business that are described under “Risk Factors” below.

Our Growth and Expansion Strategy

Our primary business strategy is to expand our regular membership base, both domestically and internationally, and continue to make strategic acquisitions that benefit our members. We believe we can do this through the deployment of capital into the following areas:

Increase the number of regular members with platform improvements. We are focusing more effort on increasing the number of regular members as compared to those individuals who only visit our website occasionally. We believe this will help us achieve our goals to increase overall membership growth, the number of paying members and revenue per paying member. Improving user interactivity in the coming years is a major focus of our work with strategic partner FreedomLab, which is assisting us with website interaction dynamics, “nextgen” content and data-driven services to boost the engagement level of our users.

Acquire strategically compatible companies. We have identified a number of companies that can potentially provide a product or service that is scalable, profitable and easily adapted to our network platform. Historically, we have operated our acquired businesses independently, with little integration, while leveraging our acquired businesses to generate growth initiatives in our other lines of business. We believe we will grow faster through further acquisitions over the next 12 to 18 months by acquiring companies that (i) offer a product or service that is of interest to entrepreneurs, (ii) have a scalable product or service to offer to our members, (iii) have substantial revenue and profit or will be of strategic importance, and (iv) are able to run independently but provide a new revenue stream for us. We believe these companies will grow faster with us than they would independently. We do not intend generally to integrate the companies on an operational level, although we will seek synergies and a reduction of operating costs by streamlining such areas as finance and technology development. We currently have no commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisitions.

Expand membership base internationally. Although we are a global platform, our marketing efforts have to date been primarily focused on five core territories — the United States, United Kingdom, India, China and The Netherlands. We plan to expand operations to additional territories over time with live events taking place in those geographical regions where a high concentration of our members resides.

Recent Developments

RocketHub Acquisition. On April 15, 2015, we acquired RocketHub Inc., a leader in the donation-based crowdfunding industry, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement. We issued 357,143 shares of our common stock to the stockholders of RocketHub.

2015 Private Placements. Since January 1, 2015, we have issued an aggregate of approximately 423,726 shares of common stock in consideration for debt conversions, services rendered and cash in privately placed transactions. The approximately $1,000,000 in cash proceeds we received from these transactions have been used to support our working capital requirements.

Increasive Ventures Loan Agreement. On July 31, 2015, we entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Increasive Ventures BV, or Increasive, pursuant to which Increasive agreed to loan us $1,250,000, representing principal of $1,000,000 and an original issue discount of $250,000. The loan was originally payable to us in two tranches, $500,000 of which was paid on July 31, 2015 and $500,000 of which was payable within five business days of certain conditions being met, including discussions between us and Increasive regarding business strategies. The parties subsequently agreed that the second tranche

3

would be payable to us in two installments, with $300,000 paid on September 2, 2015 and $200,000 payable after certain conditions are met. The principal amount of the loan accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable in full on December 31, 2015. Prior to the maturity date, Increasive may convert the unpaid amount under the loan into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $4.80 per share. If we fail to repay the loan by the maturity date, Increasive may redeem the loan at a redemption price equal to 135% of the principal amount then outstanding. At the option of Increasive, any such redemption can be made either in cash or in restricted shares of our common stock, such shares valued at 50% of the closing price of our shares on the maturity date. Increasive has the right to purchase up to $500,000 of the securities offered in this offering on the same terms as other investors. In addition, we issued to Increasive a five-year warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.80 per share. Ad Prins, one of our directors, is the managing partner of Increasive.

Amendment of Promissory Notes. On August 19, 2015, we amended three $200,000 promissory notes dated March 2, 2015, March 22, 2015 and April 8, 2015, pursuant to certain Amendments to Convertible Promissory Notes, each dated August 19, 2015, between us and Magna Equities I, LLC, or Magna I. In addition, we amended five promissory notes dated and in the amounts as follows: March 2, 2015 - $175,000; March 15, 2015 - $15,000; March 27, 2015 - $29,500, May 1, 2015 - $53,000 and May 27, 2015 - $85,000, pursuant to certain Amendments to Convertible Promissory Notes, each dated August 19, 2015, between us and Magna Equities II, LLC, or Magna II, and together with Magna I, Magna. The amended notes provide that, upon the consummation of this offering, the note holders have the right to (i) demand payment in cash of 40% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest at a rate of 125% of such amount, and (ii) convert the remaining 60% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock at a 25% discount to the offering price of the shares in this offering. Further, the holders may not convert the remaining 40% of the notes into shares of our common stock, or otherwise sell any shares of our common stock, until the earlier of 15 days following the consummation of this offering and the date our shares of common stock are listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, subject to certain conditions. We also issued Magna I a five year warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The parties subsequently agreed that concurrent with the closing of this offering and the listing of our securities on a senior securities exchange including NASDAQ, 60% of the unpaid principal and accrued interest under the notes will be converted into 215,460 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion provisions in the notes.

On September 3, 2015, we amended certain loan agreements, each dated January 8, 2015, with Greentree Financial Group, Inc., or Greentree, and Williams Holdings Corp., or Williams, each in the amount of $62,500. The amendments provide that Greentree and Williams will not convert their promissory notes into shares of our common stock and will not sell any shares of our common stock prior to October 31, 2015. In consideration, we issued to each of Greentree and Williams a five-year warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The parties subsequently agreed that concurrent with the closing of this offering and the listing of our securities on a senior securities exchange including NASDAQ, the unpaid principal and accrued interest under the notes will be converted into 49,080 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion provisions in the notes and the notes will no longer be outstanding.

On September 3, 2015, we amended that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 26, 2015, between us and LG Capital Funding, LLC, or LG, with respect to two convertible promissory notes, each in the principal amount of $78,750, of which one has been funded to date. The amendment provides that LG will not convert its promissory notes into shares of our common stock and will not sell any shares of our common stock prior to October 31, 2015. In addition, the second note will be used to repay the principal amount of the first note in full, along with a portion of outstanding penalties. Any additional prepayment penalties and accrued interest owed on the first note will be paid upon the closing of this offering. In consideration thereof, we issued to LG a five-year warrant to purchase 1,400 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. In addition, we have granted LG the right to participate in this offering upon the same terms as other investors. The parties subsequently agreed that concurrent with the closing of this offering and the listing of our securities on a senior securities exchange including NASDAQ, the unpaid principal and accrued interest under the notes will have the maturity date extended and the notes will be reclassified as a long term obligation in the company’s financial statements with the maturity date being extended to January 1, 2017.

We have also amended several other promissory notes to provide for the extension of the maturity date to January 1, 2017 this will reclass approximately $295,500 of short term convertible debt into a long term liability in the company’s financial statements concurrent with the closing of this offering.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information in this prospectus, including the risk factors listed below. Risks and uncertainties in addition to those we describe below, that may not be presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also harm our business and operations. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed, the price of our securities could decline, and future events and circumstances could differ significantly from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have a history of losses and cash flow deficits, and we expect to continue to operate at a loss and to have negative cash flow for the foreseeable future, which could cause the price of our stock to decline.

At September 30, 2015, we had cumulative net losses from inception of approximately $56.6 million. We also had negative cash flow from operating activities. Historically, our operating expenses have exceeded our revenues. For our fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred net losses of approximately $28.3 million and approximately $5.9 million, respectively. Historically, we have funded our operations from proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities and, to a lesser extent, internally generated funds. Our strategic business plan is likely to result in additional losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. We cannot give assurances that we will ever become profitable.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our credibility in the capital markets.

Our financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. Our financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 included a report from our independent registered public accounting firm which contained an explanatory paragraph referring to our need to obtain additional financing and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity financing or other capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures and, ultimately, generate revenue.

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We are continually evaluating opportunities to raise additional funds through public or private equity financings, as well as evaluating prospective business partners, and will continue to do so. However, if adequate funds are not available to us when we need it, and we are unable to enter into some form of strategic relationship that will give us access to additional cash resources, we may need to curtail our operations which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a limited operating history in certain of our markets, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

We have a limited operating history in certain of our markets. This limited operating history makes it difficult to effectively assess our future prospects. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we encounter in this rapidly evolving market. These risks and difficulties include our ability to, among other things:

      increase our number of members and member engagement;

      avoid interruptions or disruptions in our service or slower than expected website load times;

      develop a scalable, high-performance technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased member usage globally, as well as the deployment of new features and products;

      responsibly use the data that our members share with us to provide solutions that make our members more successful and productive and that are critical to the hiring and marketing needs of enterprises and entrepreneurial organizations;

      increase revenue from the solutions we provide;

7

      continue to earn and preserve our members’ trust with respect to their entrepreneurial reputation and information;

      process, store and use personal data in compliance with governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy;

      successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the online entrepreneurial networking space;

      hire, integrate and retain world class talent; and

      successfully expand our business, especially internationally.

If the market for targeted online networks for entrepreneurs does not develop as we expect, or if we fail to address the needs of this market, our business will be harmed.

We may not timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology and network infrastructure to ensure that our website is accessible within an acceptable load time.

A key element to our continued growth is our website performance, which is the ability of our visitors (which includes all visitors to our website, regardless of whether or not they are a member), enterprises and entrepreneurial organizations in all geographies to access our website within acceptable load times. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, website disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of members accessing our website simultaneously, and denial of service or fraud or security attacks. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these website performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our website performance, especially during peak usage times and as our solutions become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our website is unavailable when members attempt to access it or does not load as quickly as they expect, members may seek other websites to obtain the information for which they are looking, and may not return to our website as often in the future, or at all. This would negatively impact our ability to attract members, enterprises and entrepreneurial organizations and increase engagement on our website. We expect to continually make significant investments to maintain and improve website performance and to enable rapid releases of new features and products. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be harmed.

We currently use outside server farms to support our social platform which perform timely back-ups of the relative information. We currently do not provide a real-time back-up data center, although we do back up all of our data. Accordingly, if our primary data center shuts down, there will be a period of time that the website will remain shut down while the transition to the back-up data center takes place.

Our systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic occurrences such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks and similar events. Our U.S. facilities where we currently lease our computer and telecommunications equipment may suffer from storms and hurricanes. Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems at our hosting facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in our services.

We do not carry business interruption insurance sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to the future growth of our business that may result from interruptions in our service as a result of system failures.

If our security measures are compromised, or if our website is subject to attacks that degrade or deny the ability of members or customers to access our solutions, members and customers may curtail or stop their use of our solutions.

Our solutions involve the storage and transmission of members’ and customers’ information, some of which may be private. Security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, which could result in potential liability and litigation.

Like all websites, our website is vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins, phishing attacks, attempts to overload our servers with denial-of-service or other attacks and similar disruptions from unauthorized use of our computer systems, any of

8

which could lead to interruptions, delays, or website shutdowns, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorized disclosure or use of personally identifiable or other confidential information.

If the security of our website is compromised and we experience website performance or availability problems, the complete shut-down of our website, or the loss or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, our members or customers may lose trust and confidence in us, and decrease or terminate the use of our website. Further, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees, members or customers to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our information or our members’ or customers’ information. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, are often are not recognized until launched against a target and may originate from less regulated and remote areas around the world, we may be unable to proactively address these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Any or all of these issues could negatively impact our ability to attract new members and increase engagement by existing members, cause existing members to close their accounts or existing customers to cancel their contracts, subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability, thereby harming our operating results.

If we do not continue to attract new customers, or if existing customers do not renew their subscriptions, renew on less favorable terms, or fail to purchase additional solutions, we may not achieve our revenue projections, and our operating results would be harmed.

In order to grow our business, we must continually attract new customers, sell additional solutions to existing customers and reduce the level of non-renewals in our business. Our ability to do so depends in large part on the success of our sales and marketing efforts. We do not typically enter into long-term contracts with our customers, and even when we do, they can generally terminate their relationship with us. We have limited historical data with respect to rates of customer renewals, upgrades and expansions, so we may not accurately predict future trends for any of these metrics. Furthermore, unlike traditional software companies, the nature of our products and solutions is such that customers may decide to terminate or not renew their agreements with us without causing significant disruptions to their own businesses.

The rate at which we expand our customer base or increase our customers’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, including the prices of our solutions, the prices of products and services offered by our competitors, reduced hiring by our customers or reductions in their hiring or marketing spending levels due to macroeconomic or other factors and the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of our solutions. If we do not attract new customers or if our customers do not renew their agreements for our solutions, renew on less-favorable terms, or do not purchase additional functionality or offerings, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline.

Ultimately, attracting new customers and retaining existing customers requires that we continue to provide high quality solutions that our customers value. In particular, our content, products and services customers will discontinue their purchases of our solutions if we fail to effectively connect them with the talent they seek, and our premium subscribers will discontinue their subscriptions if they do not find the networking and business opportunities that they value. We must continue to demonstrate to our customers that using our solutions and products are the most effective and cost-efficient way to maximize their business results. Even if our products and services are providing value to our customers, advertisers are sensitive to general economic downturns and reductions in consumer spending, among other events and trends, which generally results in reduced advertising expenditures and could adversely affect sales of our products and services. If we fail to provide high quality products and convince customers of our value proposition, we may not be able to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which would harm our business and operating results.

We may encounter difficulties with acquisitions, which could harm our business.

We have completed several acquisitions of businesses, and we expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions that we believe will either expand or complement our business in new or existing markets or further enhance the value and offerings we are able to provide to our existing or future potential customers.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks and challenges, including the following:

      diversion of management’s attention from the normal operation of our business;

      potential loss of key associates and customers of the acquired companies;

      difficulties managing and operating in geographically dispersed locations;

9

      the potential for deficiencies in internal controls at acquired companies;

      increases in our expenses and working capital requirements, which reduce our return on invested capital;

      lack of experience operating in the geographic market or industry sector of the acquired business; and

      exposure to unanticipated liabilities of acquired companies, which could require us to write down or write off assets.

To integrate acquired businesses, we must implement our management information systems, operating systems and internal controls, and manage the personnel of the acquired operations. To the extent that we are not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may not be able to assess whether our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences. Additionally, the transition to new systems and controls may cause delays in rolling out our business model across the newly acquired businesses and thus affect our revenue forecasts.

The number of our registered members is higher than the number of active members, and a substantial majority of our page views are generated by a minority of our members.

The number of registered members in our network is higher than the number of active members because some members have multiple registrations, other members have switched email addresses and no longer have access to their earlier addresses, and others may have registered under fictitious names. While we attempt to identify these accounts, we may not be able to accurately identify the number of active members, and thus we rely on the number of registered members as our measure of the size of our network in line with industry standards. Further, a substantial number of our members do not visit our website or our events on a monthly basis. If the number of our active members does not meet our expectations or we are unable to increase the breadth and frequency of our visiting members, then our business may not grow as fast as we expect, which will harm our operating and financial results and may cause our stock price to decline.

If it is determined by the SEC or any other applicable regulatory authority that we are a broker-dealer, registered funding portal or financial advisor, and that we are not in compliance with the rules and regulations applicable to broker-dealers, registered funding portals and/or financial advisors, we may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.

If the SEC determines that we are a broker-dealer, registered funding portal or financial advisor, we would need to register with the SEC. Section 3(a) (4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, states that a “broker” is “any person engaged in the business of effecting transactions in securities for the account of others.” Such brokers (and dealers) are required to be registered under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, which makes it unlawful for “any broker or dealer to effect any transactions in, or to induce or attempt to induce the purchase or sale of, any security unless such broker or dealer is registered.

If the SEC determines that we are an investment advisor, we must register as an investment adviser with the SEC pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or Investment Advisers Act. Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act defines an investment adviser as any person or firm that (i) for compensation; (ii) is engaged in the business of; (iii) providing advice to others or issuing reports or analyses regarding securities.

Registration requirements for broker-dealers and investment advisers are significant and burdensome. Broker-dealers must register with the SEC by filing an application on Form BD, become a member of a self-regulatory organization such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, as well as a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Furthermore, broker-dealers are required to be licensed in the states where they conduct business as a broker-dealer, and certain individuals employed by broker-dealers must also meet certain qualifications, including passing appropriate licensing examinations.

In addition, if we are deemed to be an investment advisor and are required to register with the SEC as an investment adviser, we will become subject to the requirements of the Investment Advisers Act. The Investment Advisers Act requires: (i) fiduciary duties to clients; (ii) substantive prohibitions and requirements; (iii) contractual requirements; (iv) record-keeping requirements; and (v) administrative oversight by the SEC, primarily by inspection. Requirements and obligations imposed on broker-dealers, investment advisers and crowdfunding intermediaries can be burdensome and costly. For example, if the SEC determines that we are an “Internet Investment Adviser” and that we use an interactive website to provide investment advice, we would likely have to register as an investment adviser in every state because our entrepreneur members can come from any state, at any time. If it is deemed that we are out of compliance with such rules and regulations, we may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.

10

If any of our members engages in the unregistered sale of securities through the use of our website or otherwise without an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, our members could be subject to civil and/or criminal liability. Members that are found to be civilly or criminally liable for the unregistered sale of non-exempt securities could seek to hold us liable.

Our website, and the services offered in connection with our website, is made available by us for educational purposes only, to provide a networking platform for entrepreneurs and to give general information and a general understanding of available financing opportunities. Although our website and related services are not meant to facilitate, support or negotiate any transactions involving the offer to purchase or sale or the purchase or sale of securities, it is possible that our members, while using our website, will facilitate a transaction involving the unregistered purchase or sale of non-exempt securities. Engaging in an unregistered offer to purchase or sale or the purchase or sale of securities without a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, could result in a member being subject to civil or criminal liability. A member that is held civilly or criminally liable for the unregistered purchase or sale of non-exempt securities could seek to hold us liable. Defending against any such actions could be costly to us and may require our management to spend significant time and effort on these matters, which would otherwise be spent overseeing our operations. Further, should any member be successful in any such action, we could be required to pay a significant sum of damages, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

If our members’ profiles are out-of-date, inaccurate or lack the information that members and customers desire, we may not be able to realize the full potential of our network, which could adversely impact the growth of our business.

If our members do not update their information or provide accurate and complete information when they join or do not establish sufficient connections, the value of our network may be negatively impacted because our value proposition as an entrepreneurial network and as a source of accurate and comprehensive data will be weakened.

Incomplete or outdated member information would diminish the ability of our matching algorithm to connect members with relevant target peers or audiences and our ability to provide our customers with valuable insights. Therefore, we must add features, products and services that will bring value to our members and motivate them to contribute additional, timely and accurate information to their profile and our network. If we fail to successfully motivate our members to do so, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

We collect, process, store, share, disclose and use personal information and other data, which subjects us to governmental regulations and other legal obligations related to privacy and security, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.

We collect, process, store, share, disclose and use information from and about our members, customers and users, including personal information and other data, and we enable our members to passively and proactively share their personal information with each other and with third parties and to communicate and share news and other information into and across our platform. There are numerous laws around the world regarding privacy and security, including laws regarding the collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of personal information and other data from and about our members and users. The scope of these laws are changing, subject to differing interpretations, may be costly to comply with, and may be inconsistent among countries and jurisdictions or conflict with other rules.

We strive to comply with applicable laws, policies, and legal obligations and certain applicable industry codes of conduct relating to privacy and data protection and are subject to the terms of our privacy policies and privacy-related obligations to third parties (including voluntary third-party certification bodies such as TRUSTe). However, these obligations may be interpreted and applied in new ways and/or in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. Data privacy and security are active areas and new laws and regulations are likely to be enacted.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to members, customers or other third parties, or our privacy or security-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personal or other information, which may include personally identifiable information or other member data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements critical of us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause our members and customers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, if third parties we work with, such as customers, vendors or developers, violate applicable laws, our policies or other privacy or security-related obligations, such violations may also put our members’ information at risk and could in turn have an adverse effect on our business. Finally, governmental agencies may request or take member or customer

11

data for national security or informational purposes, and also can make data requests in connection with criminal or civil investigations or other matters, which could harm our reputation and our business.

Public scrutiny of Internet privacy and security issues may result in increased regulation and different industry standards, which could deter or prevent us from providing our current products and solutions to our members and customers, thereby harming our business.

The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is evolving and is likely to remain in flux for the foreseeable future. Various government and consumer agencies have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. Practices regarding the registration, collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of personal and other information by companies offering online services have recently come under increased public scrutiny.

In the U.S., the federal government, including the White House, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Commerce and Congress, and many state governments are reviewing the need for greater regulation of the collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of information concerning consumer behavior with respect to online services, including regulations aimed at restricting certain targeted advertising practices and collection and use of data from mobile devices. For example, the State of California and other states have passed laws relating to disclosure of companies’ practices with regard to Do-Not-Track signals from Internet browsers, the ability to delete information of minors, and new definitions that may impact data breach notification requirements. California has also adopted privacy guidelines with respect to mobile applications. In addition, the European Union is actively considering a new General Data Protection Regulation, which may result in significantly greater compliance burdens for companies with users and operations in the European Union. Outside the European Union and the United States, a number of countries have adopted or are considering privacy laws and regulations that may result in significant greater compliance burdens.

In addition, government agencies and regulators have reviewed, are reviewing and will continue to review, the privacy practices of online media companies including our privacy and security policies and practices. The FTC in particular has approved consent decrees resolving complaints and their resulting investigations into the privacy and security practices of a number of online social media companies. These reviews can and have resulted in changes to our products and policies, and could result in additional changes in the future. If we are unable to comply with any such reviews or decrees that result in recommendations or binding changes, or if the recommended changes result in degradation of our products, our business could be harmed.

Our business, including our ability to operate and expand internationally or on new technology platforms, could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are adopted, interpreted or implemented in a manner that is inconsistent with our current business practices and that require changes to these practices, the design of our websites, mobile applications, products, features or our privacy policy. In particular, the success of our business has been, and we expect will continue to be, driven by our ability to responsibly use the data that our members share with us. Therefore, our business could be harmed by any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry standards or practices regarding the storage, use or disclosure of data our members choose to share with us, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of consumers for such use and disclosure is obtained. Such changes may require us to modify our products and features, possibly in a material manner, and may limit our ability to develop new products and features that make use of the data that we collect about our members.

Our business is subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.

We are subject to a variety of laws in the United States and abroad, including laws regarding privacy, data protection, data security, data retention and consumer protection, accessibility, sending electronic messages and the provision of online payment services, including credit card processing, which are continuously evolving and developing. In addition, some of our members are subject to laws and/or licensing or certification obligations that may restrict their ability to engage with our online services. The scope and interpretation of the laws and other obligations that are or may be applicable to us or certain groups of our members are often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly laws and other obligations outside the United States.

For example, laws related to the online dissemination of content of others and laws related to sending messages over online service are continuing to evolve and are being tested pursuant to actions based on, among other things, invasion of privacy, spam, and other torts, unfair competition, copyright and trademark infringement, credit reporting and other theories based on the nature and content of the materials and messages sent or provided by others.

12

In addition, regulatory authorities around the world are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning privacy, spam, data storage, data protection, content regulation, cybersecurity and other matters that may be applicable to our business. Compliance with these laws may require substantial investment or may provide technical challenges for our business. It is also likely that as our business grows, evolves, and an increasing portion of our business shifts to mobile, and our solutions are used in a greater number of countries and additional groups, we will become subject to laws and regulations in additional jurisdictions. Further, as our services and solutions expand to include more content (including from third parties), additional laws and regulations may become applicable to our products and offerings including laws requiring us to restrict the availability of such content on a geographical basis or to certain groups of members. In some cases, laws and legal obligations of various jurisdictions may be ambiguous or conflict as to our right to display and distribute certain content as part of our online services. Users of our site and our solutions could also abuse or misuse our products in ways that violate laws. It is difficult to predict how existing laws will be applied to our business and the new laws and legal obligations to which we may become subject.

If we are not able to comply with these laws or other legal obligations or if we (or our members) become liable under these laws or legal obligations, or if our services are suspended or blocked, we could be directly harmed, and we may be forced to implement new measures to reduce exposure to this liability. This may require us to expend substantial resources or to discontinue certain solutions, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the increased attention focused upon liability issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative proposals could harm our reputation or otherwise impact the growth of our business. Any costs incurred as a result of this potential liability could harm our business and operating results.

We expect to face increasing competition in the market for online entrepreneurial networks from social networking sites and Internet search companies, among others, as well as continued competition for customers of our hiring and products and services.

We face significant competition in all aspects of our business, and we expect such competition to increase, particularly in the market for online entrepreneurial networks.

Our industry is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive. Larger and more established companies may focus on our market and could directly compete with us. Smaller companies, including application developers, could also launch new products and services that compete with us and that could gain market acceptance quickly. We also expect our existing competitors in the markets for hiring and products and services to continue to focus on these areas. A number of these companies may have greater resources than us, which may enable them to compete more effectively. Additionally, members of social networks may choose to use, or increase their use of, those networks for entrepreneurial purposes, which may result in those members decreasing or eliminating their use of our website. Companies that currently focus on social networking could also expand their focus to entrepreneurs.

We and other companies have historically established alliances and relationships with some of these companies to allow broader exposure to members and access to data on the Internet. We may also, in the future, establish alliances or relationships with other competitors or potential competitors. To the extent companies terminate such relationships and establish alliances and relationships with others, our business could be harmed. Specifically, we compete for members, enterprises and entrepreneurial organizations as discussed below.

The market for online entrepreneurial networks is new and rapidly evolving. Other companies with substantially greater resources than us such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter and LinkedIn could develop competing solutions. Further, some of these companies are partnering with third parties to offer products and services that could compete with ours. Our competitors may announce new products, services or enhancements that better address changing industry standards or the needs of members and customers, such as mobile access. Any such increased competition could cause pricing pressure, loss of market share or decreased member engagement, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Internet search engines could also change their methodologies in ways that adversely affect our ability to optimize our page rankings within their search results.

With respect to the products and services solutions we offer our members, we compete with online and offline outlets that generate revenue from similar channels. To the extent competitors are better able to provide cost-effective access to attractive demographics, either through new business models or increased user volume, we may not be successful in increasing our revenue from these acquisitions and products and our business would be harmed.

13

Finally, other companies that provide content for entrepreneurs could develop more compelling offerings that compete with our premium subscriptions and adversely impact our ability to sell and renew subscriptions to our members.

Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to our products and services on the Internet by our users and advertisers. If we, or our users, experience disruptions in Internet service or if Internet service providers are able to block, degrade or charge for access to our products and services, we could incur additional expenses and the loss of users and advertisers.

We depend on the ability of our users and advertisers to access the Internet. Currently, this access is provided by companies that have significant market power in the broadband and Internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies, mobile communications companies, government-owned service providers, device manufacturers and operating system providers, any of whom could take actions that degrade, disrupt or increase the cost of user access to our products or services, which would, in turn, negatively impact our business. The adoption of any laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity or use of the Internet, including laws or practices limiting Internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for, or the usage of, our products and services, increase our cost of doing business and adversely affect our operating results. We also rely on other companies to maintain reliable network systems that provide adequate speed, data capacity and security to us and our users. As the Internet continues to experience growth in the number of users, frequency of use and amount of data transmitted, the Internet infrastructure that we and our users rely on may be unable to support the demands placed upon it. The failure of the Internet infrastructure that we or our users rely on, even for a short period of time, could undermine our operations and harm our operating results.

Our products and services may contain undetected software errors, which could harm our business and operating results.

Our products and services incorporate complex software and we encourage employees and consultants to quickly develop and help us launch new and innovative features. Our software has contained, and may now or in the future contain errors, bugs or vulnerabilities. Some errors in our software code may only be discovered after the product or service has been released. Any errors, bugs or vulnerabilities discovered in our code after release could result in damage to our reputation, loss of users, loss of platform partners, loss of advertisers or advertising revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our business depends on a strong brand, and any failure to maintain, protect and enhance our brand would hurt our ability to retain or expand our base of members, enterprises and entrepreneurial organizations, or our ability to increase their level of engagement.

We have developed a strong brand that we believe has contributed significantly to the success of our business. Our brand is predicated on the idea that individual entrepreneurs will find immense value in building and maintaining their personal and business identities and reputations on our platform. Maintaining, protecting and enhancing the “EFactor” brand is critical to expanding our base of members, enterprises, advertisers, corporate customers and other partners, and increasing their engagement with our website, and will depend largely on our ability to maintain member trust, be a technology leader and continue to provide high-quality solutions, which we may not do successfully. If we do not successfully maintain a strong brand, our business could be harmed.

We may not be able to successfully halt the operations of other websites that aggregate our data as well as data from other companies, including social networks, or copycat websites that have misappropriated our data in the past or may misappropriate our data in the future.

From time to time, third parties attempt to misappropriate data through website scraping, robots or other means and aggregated this data on their websites with data from other companies. In addition, “copycat” websites have attempted to misappropriate data on our network and attempted to imitate our brand or the functionality of our website. When we have become aware of such websites, we have employed technological or legal measures in an attempt to halt their operations. However, we may not be able to detect all such websites in a timely manner and, even if we could, technological and legal measures may be insufficient to stop their operations. In some cases, particularly in the case of websites operating outside of the United States, our available remedies may not be adequate to protect us against such websites. Regardless of whether we can successfully enforce our rights against these websites, any measures that we may take could require us to expend significant financial or other resources.

14

Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business and operating results.

We regard the protection of our trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress and domain names as critical to our success. In particular, we must maintain, protect and enhance the “EFactor” brand. We strive to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with parties with whom we conduct business in order to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, our proprietary information.

However, these contractual arrangements and the other steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not prevent the misappropriation of our proprietary information or deter independent development of similar technologies by others.

We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks, and service marks in the United States, Europe and in certain other locations. Effective trade secret, copyright, trademark, trade dress and domain name prosecution is expensive to develop and maintain, both in terms of initial and on-going registration requirements and the costs of defending our rights. We are seeking to protect our trademarks and domain names in an increasing number of jurisdictions, a process that is expensive and may not be successful or which may not pursue in every location.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our respective trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. We may incur significant costs in enforcing our trademarks against those who attempt to imitate our “EFactor” brand. If we fail to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property rights, our business and operating results may be harmed and the market price of our common stock could decline.

We may be subject to legal proceedings and litigation, including intellectual property and privacy disputes, which are costly to defend and could harm our business and operating results.

We are party to lawsuits in the normal course of business. Litigation is often expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. We may face in the future allegations and lawsuits that we have infringed the intellectual property and other rights of third parties, including patents, privacy, trademarks, copyrights and other rights. Litigation, and particularly the patent infringement and class action matters we are facing or may face, may be protracted and expensive, and the results are difficult to predict. Adverse outcomes may result in significant settlement costs or judgments, require us to modify our products and features while we develop non-infringing substitutes or require us to stop offering certain features.

In addition, we use open source software in our solutions and will use open source software in the future. From time to time, we may face claims against companies that incorporate open source software into their products, claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the source code, the open source software and/or derivative works that were developed using such software, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our solutions, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and operating results.

Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the final outcome of any matter that we currently face will have a material adverse effect on our business. However, there can be no assurance that our expectations will prove correct, and even if these matters are not resolved in our favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters, and the time and resources necessary to litigate or, resolve them, could harm our business, our operating results, our reputation or the market price of our common stock.

Because we recognize most of the revenue from our content, products and services, sponsors and our premium subscriptions over the term of the agreement, a significant downturn in these businesses may not be immediately reflected in our operating results.

We recognize revenue from sales of our content, products and services and premium subscriptions over the terms of the agreements, which are typically 12 months. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is generated from agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed agreements in any one quarter may not significantly impact our revenue in that quarter but will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters.

15

In addition, we may be unable to adjust our fixed costs in response to reduced revenue. Accordingly, the effect of significant declines in the sales of these offerings may not be reflected in our short-term results of operations.

We depend on world-class talent to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, retain and motivate our personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

Our future success will depend upon our continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain world-class talent. Our ability to execute efficiently is dependent upon contributions from all of our employees, in particular our senior management team. Key institutional knowledge remains with a small group of long-term employees and directors whom we may not be able to retain. We may not be able to retain the services of any of our long-term employees or other members of senior management in the future. We do not maintain key person life insurance for any employee. In addition, from time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team that may be disruptive to our business. If our senior management team fails to work together effectively and to execute our plans and strategies on a timely basis, our business could be harmed.

Our growth strategy also depends on our ability to expand and retain our organization with world-class talent. Identifying, recruiting, training and integrating qualified individuals will require significant time, expense and attention. In addition to hiring new employees, we must continue to focus on retaining our best talent. Competition for these resources is intense, particularly in the San Francisco Bay area and in New York City. If we are not able to effectively increase and retain our talent, our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will be adversely impacted, and our business will be harmed.

We believe that our culture and acquisitive nature has the potential to be a key contributor to our success. We expect to continue to hire aggressively as we expand, especially in field sales and internationally. If we do not continue to develop our corporate culture as we grow and evolve, including maintaining our culture of transparency with our employees, it could harm our ability to foster the innovation, creativity and teamwork we believe we need to support our growth.

Many individuals are using devices other than personal computers to access the Internet. If members with these devices do not widely adopt solutions we develop for these devices, our business could be adversely affected.

The number of people who access the Internet through devices other than personal computers, including mobile telephones, personal digital assistants, smart phones and handheld tablets or computers has increased dramatically in the past few years and is projected to continue to increase. If we are unable to develop mobile solutions to meet the needs of our members, our business could suffer. Additionally, as new devices and new platforms are continually being released, it is difficult to predict the problems we may encounter in developing versions of our solutions for use on these alternative devices, and we may need to devote significant resources to the creation, support, and maintenance of such devices.

Enterprises or organizations, including governmental agencies, may restrict access to our website, which could lead to the loss or slowing of growth in our member base or the level of member engagement.

Our solutions depend on the ability of our members to access the Internet and our website. Enterprises or professional organizations, including governmental agencies, could block access to our website or the Internet generally for a number of reasons such as security or confidentiality concerns or regulatory reasons, or they may adopt policies that prohibit listing the employers’ names on their employees’ profiles in order to minimize the risk that employees will be contacted and hired by other employers.

For example, the government of the People’s Republic of China has previously blocked access to similar websites in China. We cannot assure you that the Chinese government will not block access to one or more of our features and products or our entire site in China for a longer period of time or permanently. If these entities block or limit access to our website or adopt policies restricting our members from providing us with accurate and up-to-date information, the value of our network could be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our ability to offer compelling hiring and products and services and subscriptions to our members, enterprises, entrepreneurial organizations and customers.

If Internet search engines’ methodologies are modified or our search result page rankings decline for other reasons, our member engagement could decline.

We depend in part on various Internet search engines, such as Google, Bing and Yahoo!, to direct a significant amount of traffic to our website. Our ability to maintain the number of visitors directed to our website is not entirely within our control. Our competitors’ search engine optimization efforts may result in their websites receiving a higher search result page ranking

16

than ours, or Internet search engines could revise their methodologies in an attempt to improve their search results, which could adversely affect the placement of our search result page ranking. If search engine companies modify their search algorithms in ways that are detrimental to our new user growth or in ways that make it harder for our members to use our website, or if our competitors’ optimization efforts are more successful than ours, overall growth in our member base could slow, member engagement could decrease, and we could lose existing members. These modifications may be prompted by search engine companies entering the online entrepreneurial networking market or aligning with competitors. Our website has experienced fluctuations in search result rankings in the past, and we anticipate similar fluctuations in the future. Any reduction in the number of members directed to our website would harm our business and operating results.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties.

We anticipate that we will continue to depend on relationships with various third parties, including technology and content providers to grow our business. Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with third parties require significant time and resources, as does integrating third-party content and technology. Our agreements with technology and content providers and similar third parties are typically non-exclusive and do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to these parties to favor their solutions or may prevent us from developing strategic relationships with these parties. In addition, these third parties may not perform as expected under our agreements with them, and we have had, and may in the future have, disagreements or disputes with these parties, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation. It is possible that these third parties may not be able to devote the resources we expect to the relationship. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired, and our operating results would suffer. Even if we are successful, these relationships may not result in improved operating results.

Payments under our loan agreements with Magna and Increasive would reduce our working capital if not converted. In addition, a default under these loan agreements would have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into loan agreements with Magna, which agreements were subsequently amended in August and December 2015. Under the terms of the loan agreements, Magna loaned us an aggregate of $957,500, of which $155,000 has been converted into common stock, leaving a balance of $802,500. Upon the consummation of this offering, Magna has the right to demand payment in cash of 40% of the principal and accrued interest at a rate of 125% of such principal and accrued interest, and convert the remaining 60% of the outstanding principal and interest on the notes into shares of our common stock at a 25% discount to the offering price of our shares in this offering.

In the third quarter of 2015, we entered into a loan agreement with Increasive. Under the terms of the loan agreement, Increasive loaned us $500,000 on July 31, 2015 and $300,000 on September 2, 2015, and agreed to provide us with an additional $200,000 within five business days after certain conditions are met, including discussions between us and Increasive regarding business strategies. The principal amount of the loan accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable in full on December 31, 2015. Prior to the maturity date, Increasive may convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $4.80 per share. If we fail to repay the loan by the maturity date, Increasive may redeem the loan at a redemption price equal to 135% of the principal amount then outstanding. At the option of Increasive, any such redemption can be made either in cash or in restricted shares of our common stock, such shares valued at 50% of the closing price of our shares on the maturity date of the loan.

To the extent Magna or Increasive exercise their right to demand repayment of their loan in cash instead of converting the outstanding principal and accrued interest of their respective promissory notes into shares of our common stock, our working capital would be significantly reduced. In addition, we are required to comply with certain negative covenants under certain of the loan agreements, including not incurring additional debt, encumbering our assets, amending our charter, repurchasing shares of our common stock, repaying other indebtedness, paying cash dividends or selling our assets other than in the ordinary course of business without their approval. If any indebtedness under the loan agreements were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness.

If currency exchange rates fluctuate substantially in the future, the results of our operations, which are reported in U.S. dollars, could be adversely affected.

As we continue to expand our international operations, we become more exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We incur expenses for employee compensation and other operating expenses at our non-U.S. locations in the

17

local currency, and an increasing percentage of our international revenue is from customers who pay us in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and those other currencies could result in the dollar equivalent of such expenses being higher and/or the dollar equivalent of such foreign-denominated revenue being lower than would be the case if exchange rates were stable.

This has resulted in losses on foreign currency exchange in the past and could have a negative impact on our reported operating results. To date, we have not engaged in any hedging strategies, and any such strategies, such as forward contracts, options and foreign exchange swaps related to transaction exposures that we may implement to mitigate this risk may not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.

The intended tax benefits of our corporate structure depends on the application of the tax laws of various jurisdictions and on how we operate our business.

Our corporate structure is intended to reduce our worldwide effective tax rate. The application of the tax laws of various jurisdictions, including the United States, to our international business activities is subject to interpretation and depends on our ability to operate our business in a manner consistent with our corporate structure. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may determine that the manner in which we operate our business does not achieve the intended tax consequences, which could increase our worldwide effective tax rate and harm our financial position and results of operations.

The enactment of legislation implementing changes in the U.S. taxation of international business activities, the adoption of other tax reform policies or changes in tax legislation or policies in jurisdictions outside the United States could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have released draft proposals to reform the U.S. system for taxing cross-border income. Possible future changes to U.S. tax laws, including limitations on the ability of taxpayers to claim and utilize foreign tax credits and the deferral of certain tax deductions until earnings outside of the United States are repatriated to the United States, as well as changes to U.S. tax laws that may be enacted in the future, could impact the tax treatment of our foreign earnings and adversely impact our effective tax rate. Due to the large and expanding scale of our international business activities, any changes in the U.S. or international taxation of such activities may increase our worldwide effective tax rate and harm our financial position and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

There is currently limited trading volume in our common stock and the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

There is currently a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock or warrants will develop. This could adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced and is likely to continue to experience significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. Our stock price could fluctuate significantly in the future based upon any number of factors such as: general stock market trends; announcements of developments related to our business; fluctuations in our operating results; announcements of technological innovations, new products, or enhancements by us or our competitors; general conditions in the U.S. and/or global economies; developments in intellectual property rights; and developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.

The issuance of equity securities by us in any financing or merger transaction could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and have a material adverse effect on our earnings and results of operations.

Any issuance of equity securities by us in a future financing or merger transaction could result in dilution to our existing stockholders as a direct result of our issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. In addition, our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth, by acquiring complementary businesses, by acquiring or licensing additional brands, or by establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and suppliers. In order to do so, or to finance the cost of our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our stockholders’ stock ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets if we acquire another company, which could negatively impact our earnings and results of operations.

18

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could lower the price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise funds in future securities offerings.

Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the then prevailing market price of our common stock and could make it more difficult for us to raise funds in the future through a public offering of its securities.

Our current management can exert significant influence over us and make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.

Our executive officers and directors currently beneficially own as a group approximately 53.4% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Furthermore, our executive officers and directors as a group control approximately 65.8% of the voting power of our shareholders (including our outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock). Following this offering, our executive officers and directors will beneficially own as a group approximately 36.0% of our outstanding shares of common stock and control approximately 46.3% of the voting power of our shareholders (including our outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock). As a result, they will be able to assert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our outstanding shares of common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests of the owners of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders and, accordingly, could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control.

The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:

      variations in our operating results and market conditions specific to social media industry companies;

      changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

      announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

      the emergence of new competitors;

      operating and market price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable;

      changes in our board of directors or management;

      sales or purchases of our common stock by insiders;

      commencement of, or involvement in, litigation;

      changes in governmental regulations; and

      general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets.

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause the price of our common stock to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to the board of directors and management.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and you must rely on increases in the market prices of our common stock for returns on your investment.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. In addition, our loan agreements with Magna restrict us

19

from paying cash dividends on our stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

Our internal financial reporting procedures are still being developed. We will need to allocate significant resources to meet applicable internal financial reporting standards.

We have adopted disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2014, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because we did not document internal controls and procedures as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We are taking steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures. These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to improve our internal financial reporting controls and procedures, our reported financial information may be inaccurate and we will encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our independent auditors, which in turn may have material adverse effects on our ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and to comply with SEC reporting obligations.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 could prevent us from producing reliable financial reports or identifying fraud. In addition, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

We are subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, and a lack of effective controls could preclude us from accomplishing these critical functions. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in connection with, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5 which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 and concluded that our internal controls and procedures were not effective due to our limited accounting staff. In addition, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could be impacted by recent and future acquisitions. Although we intend to augment our internal control procedures and expand our accounting staff, there is no guarantee that this effort will be adequate. Our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could prevent us from producing reliable financial reports or identifying fraud. In addition, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Nevada law limits the personal liability of corporate directors and officers and requires indemnification under certain circumstances.

Section 78.138(7) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that, subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions or unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer of a Nevada corporation is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. We have not included in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, or our charter, any provision intended to provide for greater liability as contemplated by this statutory provision.

In addition, Section 78.7502(3) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that to the extent a director or officer of a Nevada corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of certain actions, suits or proceedings (which may include certain stockholder derivative actions), the corporation shall indemnify such director or officer against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection therewith.

20

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by industry or financial analysts. If no or few analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price of our stock would likely decrease. Even if we do obtain analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Provisions of our charter, bylaws and Nevada corporate law have anti-takeover effects.

Certain provisions in our charter and bylaws could delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if that change might be beneficial to our stockholders. Our charter and bylaws contain provisions that might make acquiring control of us difficult, including provisions limiting rights to call special meetings of stockholders and regulating the ability of our stockholders to nominate directors for election at annual meetings of our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors has the authority, without further approval of our stockholders, to issue preferred stock having such rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors may determine. Any such issuance of preferred stock could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us and might adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock.

In addition, we are subject to Nevada statutes regulating business combinations, takeovers and control share acquisitions, which might also hinder or delay a change in control of us. Anti-takeover provisions in our charter and bylaws, anti-takeover provisions that could be included in the common stock when issued and the Nevada statutes regulating business combinations, takeovers and control share acquisitions can depress the market price of our securities and can limit the stockholders’ ability to receive a premium on their shares by discouraging takeover and tender offer bids, even if such events could be viewed by our stockholders or others as beneficial transactions.

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to issue new series of preferred stock that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, which could adversely affect the value of your shares.

Our charter provides that our board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without further stockholder approval, up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights of redemption, including sinking fund provisions, redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or designations of any series. Such shares of preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. We may issue additional preferred stock in ways that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of us without further action by our stockholders. Such shares of preferred stock may be issued with voting rights that may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights, and by the creation of class or series voting rights.

Risks Relating to this Offering

We may allocate net proceeds from this offering in ways which differ from our estimates based on our current plans and assumptions discussed in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” and with which you may not agree.

The allocation of net proceeds of the offering set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section below represents our estimates based upon our current plans and assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions, our future revenues and expenditures, and depends on whether certain of our lenders convert their promissory notes into shares of our common stock or demand repayment of such notes in cash by us. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations, business developments and related rate of growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes. Circumstances that may give rise to a change in the use of proceeds and the alternate purposes for which the proceeds may be used are discussed in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” below. You may not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use our proceeds. As a result, you and other stockholders may not agree with our decisions. See Use of Proceeds section for additional information.

21

Future sales by our stockholders may adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.

All the securities sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, except for any shares held by our affiliates as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Sales of our common stock by our stockholders and warrant or option holders following this offering could lower the market price of our common stock and warrants. Sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. The issuance of approximately 2,621,218 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and convertible notes (other than notes that will be converted concurrent with the closing of this offering) as of the date of this prospectus and the issuance of additional shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants issued in this offering could also lower the market price of our common stock.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of up to shares of common stock and corresponding warrants offered in this offering at a public offering price of $      per share, and after deducting underwriter commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of $      per share, or    %, at the public offering price, assuming no exercise of the warrants. In addition, in the past, we issued convertible notes and options and warrants to acquire shares of common stock and may need to do so in the future to support our operations. To the extent these options and/or warrants are ultimately exercised, you will sustain future dilution.

Holders of warrants will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our common stock.

Until holders of warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrants, holders of warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this prospectus, including, without limitation, statements regarding the assumptions we make about our business, strategy and other plans and objectives for our future operations, are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements include declarations regarding our management’s beliefs and current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “intend” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus include, among other things, statements about the following:

      our significant losses and negative cash flow raise questions about our ability to continue as a going concern;

      the effect certain conversions of securities may have on us, whether the conversion is pursuant to convertible notes, options, warrants or contractual obligation;

      future sale of our common stock that could depress the trading price of our common stock, lower our value and make it more difficult for us to raise capital;

      our ability to compete effectively;

      regulatory compliance costs; and

      the other matters described in “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.”

You should also read the matters described in “Risk Factors” and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus may not prove to be accurate and therefore you are encouraged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus completely.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive up to $     in net proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in this offering, based on a price of $     per share of common stock and $     per warrant and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriter’s over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of our common stock and/or warrants from us is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be approximately $     .

We cannot predict when or if the warrants will be exercised. If all of the warrants issued in this offering are exercised for cash, then we will receive an additional $     of proceeds. It is possible that the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis or expire prior to being exercised, in which case we will not receive any additional proceeds.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows: $1,500,000 to finance possible acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies and other assets, $1,000,000 to repay outstanding indebtedness, and the balance of the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

We are not a party to any commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this prospectus.

The interest rates on the outstanding loans that we intend to repay from a portion of the proceeds of this offering range from 0.25% to 15% per annum and all such loans are currently payable. Approximately 20% of the proceeds being used to repay these loans will be paid to affiliates of ours who had previously loaned us funds for working capital purposes.

The expected use of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents our estimates based upon our current plans and assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions, our future revenues and expenditures, and depends on whether certain of our lenders convert their promissory notes into shares of our common stock or demand repayment of such notes in cash by us, in their sole discretion. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations, business developments and related rate of growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes.

From time to time, we evaluate these and other factors and we anticipate continuing to make such evaluations to determine if the existing allocation of resources, including the proceeds of this offering, is being optimized. Pending such uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities such as money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

DILUTION

If you purchase securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price of $       per share and corresponding warrant, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following this offering.

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2015 was approximately $(11,236,493) or approximately $(3.22) per share. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2015.

Net tangible book value dilution per share of common stock to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of this offering. After giving effect to our sale of 2,000,000 shares in this offering at a public offering price of $     per share, and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2015 would have been $     million, or $     per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $     per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $     per share to purchasers in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

The above discussion and table do not include the following (which will subject investors in this offering to increased dilution if and when such securities are exercised):

      1,969,214 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, with current exercise prices ranging from $0.01 per share to $15.00 per share;

      975,871 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding convertible promissory notes (including shares issuable as a result of the redemption premium payable to Increasive), of which 160,196 shares will no longer be issuable once we repay certain outstanding convertible promissory notes with a portion of the proceeds from this offering;

      2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants to be issued to the public in this offering; and

      up to 160,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants to be issued to the underwriter in this offering.

In addition, our loan agreements with certain of our lenders restrict us from paying cash dividends on our stock. The payment of future dividends on the common stock or the Series A preferred stock and the rate of such dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors in light of our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements relating to future events, our future financial performance and financial condition. Such statements are only predictions and the actual events or results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. The historical results set forth in this discussion and analysis are not necessarily indicative of trends with respect to any actual or projected future financial performance. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

Our mission is to assist entrepreneurs in building and growing their businesses. We believe we are the only global company that combines a comprehensive online and in-person social network with business services and funding focused exclusively on the entrepreneurial community. Operating through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we provide our more than 2.0 million members with social networking opportunities, business services including education and mentoring, and funding including educational tools and opportunities such as donation-based crowdfunding. Coupled with members in every country of the world (196 countries) participating in 240 industry groups, we have created a global, resource-rich ecosystem for entrepreneurs and small businesses that serves as a source of inspiration and ideas and provides essential services to foster business growth.

Historically, our operating expenses have exceeded our revenues. For our fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we have incurred net losses of $28,264,566 and $5,947,079, respectively. Our operating expenses consisted primarily of the following:

      Cost of revenue, which consists primarily of the cost of services including applied labor costs and benefits expenses, maintenance, facilities and other operating costs associated with our revenues;

      Salaries and wages, which consist primarily of common stock and cash, issued for services;

      Goodwill impairment to reflect current market conditions; and

      General and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of office rent and other administrative costs including professional fees.

Social Networks Revenue

We generate revenue from our social networks division as follows:

Member Fees. We have, among others, a VIP package which offers members access to premium services such as all our events, airport lounges, VIP lounges and VIP content on the site. We also hold a variety of networking and informational events for our members to which members can gain a subscription and provide varying other membership packages to our members that allow them access to premium services via our website.

In addition, with our acquisitions which we completed since July 2014, we are building a series of products and services with those acquired companies’ offerings that are suitable and affordable to our members. Such packages will be brought into the mix and will be offered to members through promotions as well as prompts.

Sponsorships. We generate revenues from sponsors in a variety of ways. Sponsors can gain exposure to our members either through placement or short write-ups in newsletters and event invitations or by sponsoring one of our events where they may provide access to their products or services (booth/stall) or by serving as a speaker or panelist at an event relating to their industry. This may also include contributing content to our website.

Website advertising. We gained added revenue from selling banner advertising spots along with and click-throughs with well-known brands that target our entrepreneurial membership.

Third-party revenue sharing. In addition to our own products, we will offer products of third parties to our members provided they are suitable and will offer a discount on their retail value to our members. We will receive a small portion of the revenue from such third party services.

29

Business Services Revenue

We generate revenue from our business services division as follows:

Public Relations. We provide market and brand awareness consulting services, targeting high and emerging technology and science companies, as well as professional service organizations that help get recognition within the practiced community and provide an explicit company identity.

Branding and Design. We provide our clients with graphic design, marketing and corporate positioning to help improve their clients’ visual identity and packaging of our stakeholders products and services.

Advisory Services. We promote and make available advisory and consulting services to members for support, introduction guidance and general mentoring of members in their pursuit of their entrepreneurial objectives, for which fees are charged.

Education. We are a fully-accredited provider of high-quality apprenticeships and work-based vocational learning and are also an experienced welfare-to-work job-broker. Our key drivers include a business model that is inherently flexible and highly scalable, to our clients human capital needs so they can respond rapidly to their evolving employment requirements. Some of the apprenticeships include, but not limited to: business administration, customer service, leadership and management, childcare and nursery assistants, health and social care, and hair and beauty.

Funding

Funding revenue is derived from performance based commissions on total funds raised by a customer. Customers set a fundraising goal, if the goal is met or surpassed a 4% commission is calculated. If a fundraising goal is not met, an 8% commission is calculated. In addition, 4% is charged for transactions costs, and is considered to be pass-through revenue directly tied to merchant processing costs.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1,389,075 compared to $353,903 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 consisted of $694,649 from our social networks division, $606,897 from our business services division, and $87,529 from our funding division. All of our revenue was derived from member payments, event fees, annual event packages, public relations and advertising revenue along with advisory fees, sponsorships and revenue shares with strategic partners. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the acquisitions of MCC, HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT and Robson Dowry.

The table below sets forth the amount and type of revenues we recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Nonmonetary transactions

Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC No. 845 Nonmonetary Transactions (“ASC 845”), barter transactions with commercial substance are recorded at the estimated fair value of the products exchanged, unless the products received have a more readily determinable estimated fair value. The fair value of the product and services received during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $246,892.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses decreased by $131,469 to $3,655,293 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $3,786,762 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in cost of revenue of $32,922 and a decrease in general and administrative costs of $926,548. These decreases were partially offset by increases in sales and marketing of $364,029, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $41,603, and an increase in impairment of goodwill of $422,369.

Interest expense

Our interest expense increased to $924,090 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $289,134 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. In the three months ended September 30, 2015 our interest expenses included interest on notes payable we issued to meet our capital and operating requirements along with the amortization of approximately $896,976 for the amortization of debt discount and share issuance costs relating to shares issued in connection with certain of our notes payable as part of the consideration provided to lenders for such loans. These notes will be converted to equity where possible and/or will be repaid. We believe we will repay or convert into common stock all outstanding notes subject to raising further capital and increasing revenues over the course of the next 18 months.

Net loss

Net loss decreased by $891,400 to $2,830,593 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $3,721,993 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in net loss compared to the prior year period is primarily a result of an increase in revenue of $1,035,172 and a decrease in operating expenses of $131,469 offset by the increase in interest expense of $634,956, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,120,610, an increase in amortization of warrants of $773,038, and an increase in other income of $12,143.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Revenue

Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3,458,473 compared to $619,034 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisted of $1,756,011 from our social networks division, $1,583,946 from our business services division, and $118,516 from our funding division. All of our revenue was derived from member payments, event fees, annual event packages, mentoring fees, public relations revenue along with advisory fees, sponsorships and revenue shares with strategic partners. The increase in revenue was primarily due to having a full year of revenue from MCC and the acquisitions of HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT and Robson Dowry.

The table below sets forth the amount and type of revenues we recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

The fair value of the product and services received during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $426,217.

31

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses increased by $2,215,717 to $9,516,805 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, from $7,301,088 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to the increase in cost of revenue of $314,159, an increase in sales and marketing of $608,163, an increase in general and administrative costs of $781,038, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $122,766, and an increase in impairment of goodwill of $422,369. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loss on forgiveness of liabilities of $32,778.

Interest expense

Our interest expense decreased by $122,922 to $1,629,361 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1,752,283 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 our interest expenses included interest on notes payable we issued to meet our capital and operating requirements along with the amortization of $1,317,650 for the amortization of debt discount and $101,897 for share issuance costs relating to shares issued in connection with certain of our notes payable as part of the consideration provided to lenders for such loans. These notes will be converted to equity where possible and/or will be repaid. We believe we will repay or convert into common stock all outstanding notes subject to raising further capital and increasing revenues over the course of the next 18 months.

Net loss

Our net loss increased by $1,601,213 to $10,661,619 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 from $9,060,406 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in net loss compared to the prior year period is primarily a result of an increase in revenue of $2,839,439 offset by the increase in operating expenses of $2,215,717, an increase in the loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,488,531, and an increase in amortization of warrants of $1,062,107. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $122,922, in loss on conversion of debt of $49,926, a decrease in derivative loss of $130,328, and an increase in other income of $22,527. As we grow, we need to continue to attract top-notch personnel. This increases our payroll costs to compensate for these additional employees. The use of our stock as compensation has helped reduce the demand for cash to secure the employment of key personnel, which increases our operating expenses and consequently our net loss.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2013

Revenue

Our revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $1,634,602 compared to $741,785 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 consisted of $744,245 from our social networks division and $890,357 from our business services division. All of our revenue was derived from member payments, event fees, annual event packages, mentoring fees, public relations revenue along with advisory fees, sponsorships and revenue shares with strategic partners. The increase in revenue was primarily due to having a full year of revenue from MCC and the acquisitions of HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT and Robson Dowry.

The fair value of the product and services received during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $68,685.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses increased by $23,186,523 to $28,021,830 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, from $4,835,307 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an impairment loss of $17,698,000 offset by the gain on forgiveness of liabilities of $303,114, and the increase in administrative costs related to the consolidations of the acquisitions during 2014 and legal and accounting fees incurred for public reporting filing requirements.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to $2,438,172 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $911,527 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 our interest expense included interest on notes payable we issued to meet our capital and operating requirements along with the amortization of $2,105,860 of common stock issuance costs for shares issued in connection with the notes and the corresponding beneficial conversion feature that were recorded as debt discounts. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, $2,303,082 of these notes and related accrued interest were converted into equity.

Loss on conversion of debt

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, we recognized a loss of $585,961 related to the conversion of debt. On July 9, 2013, we entered into modification agreements for two of our notes. Pursuant to the terms of the modification agreements, we issued an additional 3,011 shares of common stock. As a result of this issuance, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $1,026,859 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

Net loss

Our net loss increased to $28,264,566 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 from $5,947,079 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net loss compared to the prior year was primarily a result of the recognition of an impairment to goodwill of $17,698,000 and an increase in administrative costs from the acquisitions of HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT and Robson Dowry, and additional public company compliance costs, as well as the recognition of the loss on extinguishment of debt as described above. As we grow, we need to continue to attract top-notch personnel. This increases our payroll costs to compensate for these additional employees. The use of our stock as compensation has helped reduce the demand for cash to secure the employment of key personnel, which increases our operating expenses and consequently our net loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not generate positive operating cash flows because of our operating losses. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2015, was $196,431. However, approximately $110,154 of these funds are held in trust for our funding operations clients such as our crowd funding investors. Our monthly cash flow burn rate, that includes the operations of our numerous recent acquisitions, has increased to approximately $250,000, excluding professional fees and consultants on an as-needed basis. In addition, we anticipate investing approximately $700,000 over the next six months to expand our core business infrastructure. Historically, we have satisfied our short-term cash needs through proceeds from sales of our securities and/or issuance of promissory notes. We are expecting to reduce the need for such short-term financing as we continue to build our revenues through both acquisitions and organic growth. See “Cash Requirements” below. In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

Recent Developments

On July 31, 2015, we entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Increasive Ventures BV, or Increasive, pursuant to which Increasive agreed to loan us $1,250,000, representing principal of $1,000,000 and an original issue discount of $250,000. The loan was originally payable to us in two tranches, $500,000 of which was paid on July 31, 2015 and $500,000 of which was payable within five business days of certain conditions being met, including discussions between us and Increasive regarding business strategies. The parties subsequently agreed that the second tranche would be payable to us in two installments, with $300,000 paid on September 2, 2015 and $200,000 payable after certain conditions are met. The principal amount of the loan

33

accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable in full on December 31, 2015. Prior to the maturity date, Increasive may convert the unpaid amount under the loan into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $4.80 per share. If we fail to repay the loan by the maturity date, Increasive may redeem the loan at a redemption price equal to 135% of the principal amount then outstanding. At the option of Increasive, any such redemption can be made either in cash or in restricted shares of our common stock, such shares valued at 50% of the closing price of our shares on the maturity date. Increasive has the right to purchase up to $500,000 of the securities offered in this offering on the same terms as other investors. In addition, we issued to Increasive a five-year warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.80 per share. Ad Prins, one of our directors, is the managing partner of Increasive.

On August 19, 2015, we amended three $200,000 promissory notes dated March 2, 2015, March 22, 2015 and April 8, 2015, pursuant to certain Amendments to Convertible Promissory Notes, each dated August 19, 2015, between us and Magna Equities I, LLC, or Magna I. In addition, we amended five promissory notes dated and in the amounts as follows: March 2, 2015 — $175,000; March 15, 2015 — $15,000; March 27, 2015 — $29,500, May 1, 2015 — $53,000 and May 27, 2015 — $85,000, pursuant to certain Amendments to Convertible Promissory Notes, each dated August 19, 2015, between us and Magna Equities II, LLC, or Magna II, and together with Magna I, Magna. The amended notes provide that, upon the consummation of this offering, the note holders have the right to (i) demand payment in cash of 40% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest at a rate of 125% of such amount, and (ii) convert the remaining 60% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock at a 25% discount to the offering price of the shares in this offering. Further, the holders may not convert the remaining 40% of the notes into shares of our common stock, or otherwise sell any shares of our common stock, until the earlier of 15 days following the consummation of this offering and the date our shares of common stock are listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, subject to certain conditions. We also issued Magna I a five-year warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The parties subsequently agreed that concurrent with the closing of this offering and the listing of our securities on a senior securities exchange including NASDAQ, 60% of the unpaid principal and accrued interest under the notes will be converted into 215,460 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion provisions in the notes.

On September 3, 2015, we amended certain loan agreements, each dated January 8, 2015, with Greentree Financial Group, Inc., or Greentree, and Williams Holdings Corp., or Williams, each in the amount of $62,500. The amendments provide that Greentree and Williams will not convert their promissory notes into shares of our common stock and will not sell any shares of our common stock prior to October 31, 2015. In consideration, we issued to each of Greentree and Williams a five-year warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The parties subsequently agreed that concurrent with the closing of this offering and the listing of our securities on a senior securities exchange including NASDAQ, the unpaid principal and accrued interest under the notes will be converted into 49,080 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion provisions in the notes and the notes will no longer be outstanding.

On September 3, 2015, we amended that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 26, 2015, between us and LG Capital Funding, LLC, or LG, with respect to two convertible promissory notes, each in the principal amount of $78,750, of which one has been funded to date. The amendment provides that LG will not convert its promissory notes into shares of our common stock and will not sell any shares of our common stock prior to October 31, 2015. In addition, the second note will be used to repay the principal amount of the first note in full, along with a portion of outstanding penalties. Any additional prepayment penalties and accrued interest owed on the first note will be paid upon the closing of this offering. In consideration thereof, we issued to LG a five-year warrant to purchase 1,400 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. In addition, we have granted LG the right to participate in this offering upon the same terms as other investors. The parties subsequently agreed that concurrent with the closing of this offering and the listing of our securities on a senior securities exchange including NASDAQ, the unpaid principal and accrued interest under the notes will have the maturity date extended and the notes will be reclassified as long term obligation in the company’s financial statements with the maturity date being extended to January 1, 2017.

We have also amended several other promissory notes to provide for the extension of the maturity date to January 1, 2017, this will reclass approximately $295,500 of short term convertible debt into a long term liability in the company’s financial statements concurrent with the closing of this offering.

Going Concern

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for

34

the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

We have incurred recurring losses from operations and have a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We are taking steps to raise additional funds to address our operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations. We have devoted a significant amount of time to raising capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. There are no assurances that we will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. Our financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Cash Requirements

We had cash available of approximately $196,431 as of September 30, 2015. Based on our revenues, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate, around $225,000, excluding professional fees and consultants on an as-needed basis, we will need to continue borrowing from our shareholders and other related parties, and/or raise money from sales of our securities, to fund operations.

On June 7, 2013, we entered into a revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) with an accredited investor for an amount of up to $750,000. Under the terms of the Line of Credit, the lender agreed to advance to us for a period of 24 months ending on June 7, 2015 such amounts as we may request up to $750,000. All sums advanced bear interest from the date each advance is made until paid-in-full at a rate of 15% per annum. Each advance was due and payable in full 12 months following the day each advance was made. In addition, should we consummate a capital raise, that when aggregated with any preceding capital raise results in $10 million of gross proceeds (excluding amounts advanced under the Line of Credit) (the “Capital Raise”), all amounts due and payable under the Line of Credit will become due and payable 14 days after the consummation of such Capital Raise. A portion of the net proceeds from this offering will be used to repay the Line of Credit. As of September 30, 2015, we have issued 118,750 shares of common stock based on the current advances. The number of shares issued in connection with the Line of Credit will be pro-rated according to the amount of the advance. In connection with the Line of Credit, we entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with the lender, whereby we granted to the lender, as collateral for our obligations under the Line of Credit. As of September 30, 2015, we had received advances under the Line of Credit totaling $475,000. As of September 30, 2015, we completed a first repayment of $75,000 and we subsequently completed an additional repayment of $20,000. The Line of Credit expired on June 7, 2015.

We have been able to satisfy short-term needs through the sale of securities to individual accredited investors over the past year. Even though management has had success in the past in generating funds from these sources of capital, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring these types of proceeds in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that we consider material.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

36

revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

We believe the following accounting policies are our critical accounting policies because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require critical management judgments and estimates about matters that may be uncertain. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are presented net of discounts. In general, we recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Where arrangements have multiple elements, revenue is allocated to the elements based on the relative selling price method and revenue is recognized based on our policy for each respective element. We generate revenue primarily from sales of the following services:

Member Fees — We have a VIP package which offers members access to premium services such as all our events, airport lounges, VIP lounges and VIP content on the site. We also hold a variety of networking and informational events for our members to which members can gain a subscription and provide varying other membership packages to our members that allow them access to premium services via our website.

In addition, with our acquisitions which we have completed since July 2014, we are building a series of products and services with those acquired companies’ offerings that are suitable and affordable to our members. Such packages will be brought into the mix and will be offered to members through promotions as well as prompts. Revenue from member services is recognized ratably over the contractual period, generally from one to 12 months.

Sponsorships — We generate revenues from sponsors in a variety of ways. Sponsors can gain exposure to our members, either through placement or short write-ups in newsletters, on event invitations or by participating as a sponsor at one of our events where a sponsor may provide access to its products or service (booth/stall) or by being a speaker or panelist at an event that fits in their industry. This revenue is recognized over the specific event timeline, which varies from a single day event or a longer-term promotional event over a series of weeks.

Advisory Services — We promote and make available advisory and consulting services to members for the purpose of support, introduction guidance and general mentoring of members in their pursuit of their entrepreneurial objectives, for which fees are charged.

Public Relations — We provide market and brand awareness consulting services, targeting high and emerging technology and science companies, as well as professional service organizations that help get recognition within the practiced community and provide an explicit company identity.

Advertising — Visitor demographics and time spent on a website are the primary drivers behind advertising-based revenue models for internet properties. When a user clicks an advertisement (cost per click or CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (cost per thousand or CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicked on through our application (cost per acquisition or CPA basis). Proceeds from such contracts is recognized over the period in which the advertisements are displayed on the websites

These revenues are recorded when services for the transactions are determined to be concluded, generally as set forth under the terms of the engagement or when the various milestones have been completed after the defined services are performed. Transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of costs directly associated with the transaction, are deferred and recognized in the same period as the transaction revenue.

Barter Transactions — We engage in barter transactions in which marketing services are exchanged for products or services. Barter transactions are accounted for at the estimated fair value of the products or services received, or marketing services given up, whichever is more clearly determinable. Barter revenue is recognized at the time the marketing services are provided. Barter expense is recorded at the time the merchandise or services are used and/or received.

Our Key Performance Metrics

We measure traffic and member activity on our websites and collect data for visits by members and other visitors, unique visitors, page views, number of average pages per visit and percentage of views by new visitors. We believe that, by tracking and responding to these metrics, we can increase the effectiveness of our network platform, enhance our members’ experience and improve our overall financial performance.

The following table sets forth these metrics, which we have collected internally using Google Analytics, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2014:

We believe the decline in pageviews results from the redesign of EFactor.com, which provides our visitors with more relevant information per single page. This has increased the loyalty of our existing members which is reflected by a significant increase of the portion of pageviews generated by returning visitors versus new visitors.

We estimate that approximately one-third of our more than 2.0 million members are “regular members” who visit one or more of our sites regularly (at least once per month), participating in our live, in-person events and reading or responding to our newsletters and other member communications. Since June 2014, we have averaged approximately 2.0 million monthly visitors (including members) to our EFactor.com website.

As used in this prospectus, “members” are individuals that have set up a member account at EFactor.com and “unique visitors” are individuals (both members and non-members) that visit EFactor.com or our other social network websites. A “visit” is a series of page views that a single visitor makes during a period of activity, with a visit ending after the visitor closes the browser, clears cookies or is inactive for 30 minutes. “Page views” refer to an instance of one user visiting or looking at a particular page on our website.

Market Opportunities

We are a targeted social network that operates in the social media industry. We believe targeted social networks such as ours are poised for growth in the coming years as people shift from generic platforms to those where they can connect with people sharing a common interest.

We believe that entrepreneurship globally is on a fast track, becoming the preferred option for both college graduates looking for a career and other individuals who may no longer have traditional long-term employment aspirations. According to Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (January 2015), Millenials (those persons born in the 2000s) are more likely to start a business than look for a traditional career. In 2014, 300 million people around the world were estimated to be engaged in early-stage entrepreneurial activity, with the most active persons in the 25 to 35 years age group. The rise of the freelance economy (e.g., Airbnb and Uber) has already turned 14% of the U.S. workforce into entrepreneurs and millions of others into part-time entrepreneurs, according to the article. We believe that our targeted social networks, led by EFactor.com and our EScore™ technology, are positioned for growth as entrepreneurs seek specific and relevant resources to build and grow their businesses.

Entrepreneurs are among the happiest individuals across the globe with respect to their well-being and satisfaction with their work conditions. Starting a new business is a desirable career choice and high social status and media contributes positively to developing an entrepreneurial culture. In the U.S. and Canada, 2/3 of early stage entrepreneurs were driven by improvement-driven opportunity. North American early-stage entrepreneurs stand out with optimistic expectations of high growth in job creation. Nevertheless, fear of failure is the biggest barrier to entrepreneurship, as 25% of new businesses fail in the first year, another 36% fail in the second year and another 44% fail in the third year.

The foregoing confirms our belief that entrepreneurship globally is on a fast-growth track, becoming the preferred option for both graduates looking for a career and individuals who may no longer have traditional long-term employment aspirations. Accordingly, we are focused on supporting entrepreneurs to develop themselves and their businesses. Entrepreneurs are looking for answers to the many questions they face on their road to success. We believe that our social networks division, led by EFactor.com, and our EScoreTM technology, is well positioned to provide entrepreneurs with the answers, products and services they need to succeed as well as access to peers across the world with whom they can share successes and failures.

Our relevant market size is based on entrepreneurs in fast-growing industries that have an affinity with the online world. We believe approximately 25% of the estimated 300 million potential entrepreneurs mentioned above are our target audience, or 90 million members. Of these, we believe we can reach and sign up approximately 3 million members by the end of 2015 and 5 million by the end of 2016.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that our key competitive strengths are as follows:

Market leader in entrepreneurial segment of social networking. We believe we are a leader in the market segment for social networking among entrepreneurs, by being the only global company that combines a comprehensive online and in-person social network with business services and funding focused exclusively on the entrepreneurial community.

40

Integrated funding capabilities. We operate one of the world’s largest and most recognized crowdfunding brands through our recent acquisition of RocketHub, which has a registered base of more than 200,000 users, and has facilitated over $10 million in transactions. We believe our integrated funding capabilities complete our social network ecosystem and provide a compelling solution to what has been the biggest impediment for entrepreneurs — access to funding.

Robust network platform with personally-tailored resources. Our technology platform combines a wide array of proprietary coding and algorithms with elements of standard technology that allow us to scale and handle large volumes of traffic from members and other visitors. At the same time, using our EScore™ proprietary selection and matching algorithm, we offer specific content and resources tailored to each individual’s unique business needs.

Experienced management team. Members of our management team are industry professionals with years of experience in building and running large companies and a deep understanding of the social media space. Adriaan Reinders, our Chief Executive Officer, is an entrepreneur with significant experience building companies from start-ups to large-scale organizations with more than 1,000 employees. Both Mr. Reinders and Marion Freijsen, our Chief Operating Officer, have substantial international business experience building technology companies. Our management team is further supported by Mark Stanich, our managing director who previously served in key senior marketing and digital media positions at a subsidiary of American Express and at Time Warner, and Ruud Smeets, a co-founder of ELEQT.

Our Growth and Expansion Strategy

Our primary business strategy is to expand our regular membership base, both domestically and internationally, and continue to make strategic acquisitions that benefit our members. We believe we can do this through the deployment of capital into the following areas:

Increase the number of regular members with platform improvements. We are focusing more effort on increasing the number of regular members as compared to those individuals who only visit our website occasionally. We believe this will help us achieve our goals to increase overall membership growth, the number of paying members and revenue per paying member. Improving user interactivity in the coming years is a major focus of our work with strategic partner FreedomLab, which is assisting us with website interaction dynamics, “nextgen” content and data-driven services to boost the engagement level of our users.

Acquire strategically compatible companies. We have identified a number of companies that can potentially provide a product or service that is scalable, profitable and easily adapted to our network platform. Historically, we have operated our acquired businesses independently, with little integration, while leveraging our acquired businesses to generate growth initiatives in our other lines of business. We believe we will grow faster through further acquisitions over the next 12 to 18 months by acquiring companies that (i) offer a product or service that is of interest to entrepreneurs, (ii) have a scalable product or service to offer to our members, (iii) have substantial revenue and profit or will be of strategic importance, and (iv) are able to run independently but provide a new revenue stream for us. We believe these companies will grow faster with us than they would independently. We do not intend generally to integrate the companies on an operational level, although we will seek synergies and a reduction of operating costs by streamlining such areas as finance and technology development. We currently have no commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisitions.

Expand membership base internationally. Although we are a global platform, our marketing efforts have to date been primarily focused on five core territories — the United States, United Kingdom, India, China and The Netherlands. We plan to expand operations to additional territories over time with live events taking place in those geographical regions where a high concentration of our members reside

Technology Platform

Network for Entrepreneurs

Our EFactor.com technology platform uses state-of-the-art technologies, such as data engine search and data vector analysis, to broaden the opportunities and to increase success in business relationships. Our data mapping algorithms introduce a new service, a new prospect, a new partner or a new advisor to a member when they are ready to begin building this business relationship. Our business maturity modeling facilitates gap analysis for members and recommends pathways to accelerate their business maturity. We recognize technology is designed to support human beings and our entire platform is conceived to integrate human interaction with technology to benefit the business relationship.

41

Our Social Networks provide a platform for building high impact business relationships. For example, the EFactor.com network’s gap analysis through EScoreTM may identify the need for a member to improve his or her business goals. It will then make recommendations for a well-qualified mentor to mature the member’s skills required to fill this gap. At the same time, the member could seek recommendations for a new business supplier located in a distant city. Or a member can simply ask for opinions about attending a particular trade show. Building strong business relationships leads to business success and Network for Entrepreneurs is an important tool in achieving those relationships.

EScoreTM

In September 2013, we released a beta version of a new service called EScoreTM which, with over a thousand underlying parameters, allows entrepreneurs to self-test their entrepreneurial skills in five key areas called vectors: leadership, finance, technology, sales and marketing and social value. During 2014, we strengthened this benchmarking tool allowing members to follow clearly defined steps to build up their personal EScoreTM. The overall score continuously guides the member to additional opportunities to build a better business. Each vector leads to a maximum score of 200, with the five vectors combining to a maximum EScoreTM of 1,000. The EScoreTM functions as a companion and referral tool towards relevant members, tools and courses, as well as content attuned to the context of that specific entrepreneur and their business. In early 2016, we intend to further enhance the EScoreTM service algorithm by making it more data-driven, which we believe will increase its ability for tailored matchmaking.

FreedomLab

In December 2014, we announced our partnership with the FreedomLab campus for crossover innovation. Freedomlab is a creative strategy boutique, and is one of the pillars of the Dasym Investment Group. We are working closely with FreedomLab’s team in our current redesign and have inserted their group of design thinkers, gamefication experts, social storytellers, algorithm specialists, engineers and experts with many other relevant skill sets to further boost the engagement level of our users. Together, we are developing the next version of our platform that will encourage the increase of interaction among members and which will deploy specific services. The process we are currently following is a mix of service design thinking, gamification and lean development, to ensure that we are co-creating the new platform with the entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial spirit in our organization and network.

We have identified three key areas in which FreedomLab will assist: website interaction dynamics, “nextgen” content and data driven services. During early 2016, EScoreTM will undergo a transformation and become more intuitive and adaptive to each individual member. The main pivot in our strategy going forward is to change EScoreTM from a tool that is embedded into our network itself towards a more data driven mobile app which can learn and nudge entrepreneurs on those actions, contacts and content that help them to build a better business. In this way, the interplay of the app and the network provides advantages to the entrepreneur and data for EFactor to further improve the relevance of our products and services. This is an approach referred to as “narrow AI” (narrow intelligence), a technology subset focused on solving specific, reasonably well-defined problems. This type of engine will also help further improve our ability in matchmaking with relevant people, content and services available for entrepreneurs. It will also allow us in the near future to gradually move towards a marketplace for co-creation between entrepreneurs and services such as our new crowdfunding platform, RocketHub.

Technical Overview

In addition to the above components with EScoreTM, the forefront of our technology platform is further defined as:

Product Management

Our product management teams continually evaluate and improve product concepts and drive a development release cycle to ensure rapid time-to-value for our service offerings.

Global Availability

We currently serve over 2.0 million members in 196 countries with several digital offerings. Although our current capacity, with entry points in 52 countries, already supports accelerated growth we are steadily expanding our global infrastructure to achieve lower latency and higher throughput, and to ensure that our data always reside close to our end-users.

42

Architecture

We use a multi-device (mobile, tablets, desktops), fully location-aware and language and operating system agnostic platform. We choose the development platform that makes the most sense for our business. This flexibility allows us to focus on innovation, not infrastructure.

Information Security

We use a secure, durable technology platform with industry-recognized certifications and audits. Our services and data centers have multiple layers of operational and physical security to ensure the integrity and safety of our data.

Business Continuity

Our secure and durable cloud disaster recovery platform with industry-recognized certifications and audits, supports many disaster recovery (DR) architectures from “pilot light” environments that are ready to scale up at a moment’s notice to “hot standby” environments that enable rapid failover. We load balance incoming application traffic across multiple availability zones to prevent down-time.

Digital Marketing

We use a cloud computing solution that provides online and digital marketing businesses a flexible, highly scalable, elastic, and low-cost way to deliver our content. Our queues are available whenever applications need them. To prevent messages from being lost or becoming unavailable, all messages are stored redundantly across multiple servers and data centers.

During early 2016, we plan to further enhance the business value proposition with significant technology advances in cooperation with our strategic partner FreedomLab. The primary business objective is to provide an adaptive and refocused EScoreTM, as well as additional service offerings with associated additional revenue streams bringing in the offerings of each of the acquisitions made or to be made during the course of the next 12-18 months. With FreedomLab, we will also continue working on website interaction dynamics, “nextgen” content and data-driven services to boost the engagement level of our users.

Acquisitions

Since January 1, 2014, we have completed the following acquisitions:

On July 1, 2014, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with HT Skills Ltd., an entity organized under the laws of England and Wales (“HT Skills”), and Five5Five PTE Ltd., the sole shareholder of HT Skills (“HT Seller”). On the same date, the parties consummated the transaction, pursuant to which the HT Seller sold, and we purchased all of HT Skills’ outstanding capital stock in exchange for 221,985 of our unregistered shares of common stock.

On July 1, 2014, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Member Digital Ltd. (“Member Digital”) and the shareholders of Member Digital (the “MD Sellers”). On the same date, the parties consummated the transaction, pursuant to which the MD Sellers sold, and we purchased, all of Member Digital’s outstanding capital stock, in exchange for 20,833 unregistered shares of our common stock.

On July 7, 2014, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with GroupCard BV, an entity organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“GroupCard”), and the shareholders of GroupCard.

On November 15, 2014, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Robson Dowry Associates Ltd., an entity organized under the laws of the England and Wales (“Robson Dowry”), and the shareholders of Robson Dowry Associates Ltd. (the “Robson Dowry Sellers”). On the same date, the parties consummated the transaction, pursuant to which the Sellers sold, and we purchased, all of Robson Dowry’s outstanding capital stock, in exchange for 25,000 unregistered shares of our common stock.

43

On April 15, 2015, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with EFactor Merger Sub Inc., a New York corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), RocketHub Inc., a New York corporation (“RocketHub”), the shareholders of RocketHub (the “Sellers”) and Eric Schneider in his capacity thereunder as the representative of the Sellers (the “Seller Representative”). Pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into RocketHub, with RocketHub surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). The Merger was closed simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on April 15, 2015. As consideration for the Merger, the Sellers received 357,143 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $42.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price valued at $15 million.

Government Regulation

We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state, and foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet, many of which are still evolving and being tested in courts, and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. These may involve user privacy, rights of publicity, data protection, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, taxation and online payment services. In particular, we are subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data.

Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the United States. U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly-evolving industry in which we operate. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies, and foreign governments concerning privacy and data protection which could affect us. Complying with these varying domestic and international requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect our members’ privacy and data could result in a loss of member confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of members and customers, which could adversely affect our business.

Intellectual Property Rights

We rely on trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology and branding. We control access to our proprietary technologies and enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third party developers. We restrict access to our key proprietary technology to a limited number of our executive officers and managers. We have not applied for patent protection of our proprietary technology because such applications would require us to publicly disclose these aspects of our technology we wish to remain confidential. Instead, we have chosen to maintain the technology as trade secrets. We also own a trademark registration relating to the EFactor name and color trademark in The Netherlands and the European Union. In the United States, we have a trademark for our subsidiary SubHub which is a solution for building and managing membership websites with our Member Digital business unit.

Research and Development Activities

We have spent approximately $65,000 and $350,000 in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on website development activities, along with approximately $125,000 of employee time in enhancing our website in the year ended December 31, 2014 and $0 in the year ended December 31, 2013.

We understand that the true value of social media companies is measured in the quantity and quality of the data they collect, analyze and sell to their customers. A significant criterion in our selection of the companies to be acquired is their contribution to our data value. EQmentor, with its broad and deep collection elements for an entrepreneur’s professional development, is a prime example of this strategy. We will not only integrate these data sets into our business network for the entrepreneur but we will build analytic tools on top of our unique data. The primary purpose of these analytic tools will be to measure and quantify the readiness of entrepreneurs to present their business plan to qualified investors.

We intend to take a leading role in analytics about entrepreneurs. We believe our role as a trusted advisor and mentor, our commitment to guarding business information, and our experience in sophisticated data analysis will propel us into a recognized authority on this market space.

Employees

As of September 30, 2015, we had 59 full-time employees (including five members of management) and nine independent contractors. The table below sets forth the number of our employees and independent contractors by company.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

As part of the acquisition of EQmentor, Inc., the Company entered into an employment agreement with the former majority shareholder of EQmentor, Inc., pursuant to which the latter is entitled to receive a quarterly bonus in an amount equivalent to $103,333 (net of payment of all payroll taxes and other withholdings), in cash or common stock. The purpose of the obligation was to allow the former majority shareholder to repay certain debts that he had personally secured during the course of his ownership of EQmentor, Inc. As of September 30, 2015, this obligation has an outstanding balance of $633,022, which is included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The obligation accrues interest of 3.5% per annum. The Company is anticipating payments to begin on a quarterly basis during the first quarter of 2016. On October 20, 2015 the Company was served a writ of attachment, fieri facias, for the amount of $699,347.59 answerable on December 15, 2015. The Company believes it will prevail in the proceedings. 

Other that the information presented above we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between or among the above directors, executive officers or persons nominated or charged by us to become directors or executive officers other than Mr. Stanich and Mr. Banmiller, who are brothers-in-law. In addition, Roeland Reinders, one of our three co-founders and one of our employees, is the adult son of Adriaan Reinders, our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Board Leadership Structure

Adriaan Reinders currently serves as our principal executive officer and Mr. Trainer serves as chairman of our board of directors. Our board of directors has chosen to separate the principal executive officer and chairman positions because it believes that (i) independent oversight of management is an important component of an effective board of directors and (ii) this structure benefits the interests of all stockholders. If our board of directors convenes for a special meeting, the non-management directors will meet in executive session if circumstances warrant. Given that we are still in the early stages of our development and given that we have an independent chairman, the board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to formally designate a lead independent director at this time, although it may consider appointing a lead independent director if circumstances change. We believe that the structure described above is the best structure to lead us in the achievement of our goals and objectives and establishes an effective balance between management leadership and appropriate oversight by independent directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Related Party Transactions,” none of our directors, director nominees, or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates, or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Director Independence

Our board of directors evaluates the independence of each nominee for election as a director in accordance with the NASDAQ listing rules (the “NASDAQ Listing Rules”). Pursuant to these rules, a majority of our board of directors must be “independent directors” within the meaning of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, and all directors who sit on our committees must also be independent directors.

The NASDAQ definition of “independence” includes a series of objective tests, such as the director or director nominee is not, and was not during the last three years, our employee and has not received certain payments from, or engaged in various types of business dealings with, us. In addition, as further required by the NASDAQ Listing Rules, our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with such individual’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to us and our management.

As a result, our board of directors has affirmatively determined that none of our non-employee directors has a material relationship with the company. Our board of directors has also affirmatively determined that all members of our committees are independent directors.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

We have a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Audit Committee is comprised of Leslie Green (chair), Robert Burnett and David Jeffries. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Green qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, based on his education, experience and background.

49

Compensation Committee

We have a separately-designated standing Compensation Committee established in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Robert Burnett (chair), Thomas Trainer, Ad Prins and Brian Banmiller.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We have a separately-designated standing Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Thomas Trainer(chair), Leslie Green and Brian Banmiller.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, a copy of which will be available on our website upon the completion of this offering. In addition, a copy of the code of ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our code of ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The following is a description of the transactions we have engaged in from January 1, 2013 through the date of this prospectus, with our directors and officers and beneficial owners of more than five percent of our voting securities and their affiliates.

On February 11, 2013, in connection with the Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement with The E-Factor Corp., we issued Adriaan Reinders, our Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for his shares of The E-Factor Corp., 41,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 20,833 were converted into 107,552 shares of common stock in October 2013.

On February 11, 2013, in connection with the Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement with The E-Factor Corp., we issued Marion Freijsen, our Chief Operating Officer, in exchange for her shares of The E-Factor Corp., 41,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 20,833 were converted into 107,552 shares of common stock in October 2013.

On May 6, 2015, we issued 53,333 and 40,422 shares of our common stock to Mr. Reinders and Ms. Freijsen, respectively, to convert certain indebtedness aggregating to $703,167 of our related-party liabilities. In addition to the common stock, the individuals received 23,439 three-year warrants with an exercise price of $15.00 per share.

On December 6, 2012, Linge Beleggingen, BV, an affiliate of Mr. Reinders, loaned $200,000 to us at an interest rate of 15% per annum. This loan was due on September 1, 2013. As of the date of this prospectus, we owe $181,081 in principal and approximately $118,000 in interest and penalties under this loan.

Our Amsterdam office is leased from Mr. Smeets, who serves as President of our Social Networks division and as a member of our board of directors. The lease is on a month to month basis and the monthly lease payment for the office is approximately $2,782. This property was recently sold and we intend to relocate this office in August 2015.

On July 31, 2015, we entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Increasive Ventures BV, or Increasive, pursuant to which Increasive agreed to loan us $1,250,000, representing principal of $1,000,000 and an original issue discount of $250,000. The loan was originally payable to us in two tranches, $500,000 of which was paid on July 31, 2015 and $500,000 of which was payable within five business days of certain conditions being met, including discussions between us and Increasive regarding business strategies. The parties subsequently agreed that the second tranche will be payable in two installments, including $300,000 payable on September 1, 2015 and $200,000 after certain conditions are met. The principal amount of the loan accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable in full on December 31, 2015. Prior to the maturity date, Increasive may convert the unpaid amount under the loan into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $4.80 per share. If we fail to repay the loan by the maturity date, Increasive may redeem the loan at a redemption price equal to 135% of the principal amount then outstanding. At the option of Increasive, any such redemption can be made either in cash or in restricted shares of our common stock, such shares valued at 50% of the closing price of our shares on the maturity date. Increasive has the right to purchase up to $500,000 of the securities offered in this offering on the same terms as other investors. In addition, we issued to Increasive a five-year warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.80 per share. Ad Prins, one of our directors, is the managing partner of Increasive.

On October 29, 2015, we issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $154,000 to Mark Stanch, a member of the Board of Directors, for reimbursable expenses. The note, which is convertible at $4.00 per share, matures on December 15, 2015 and bears interest at 12% per annum and an original issue discount of 10%.

On November 19, 2015, we issued a 10% OID convertible promissory note to Mark Noffke, a member of the Board of Directors, in the amount of $5,500. The note matures on December 31, 2015, bears interest at 12% per annum and is convertible at $3.00 per share.

On November 23, 2015, we issued 10% OID convertible promissory notes to David Jeffries, a member of the Board of Directors, in the amount of $5,500. The notes mature on December 31, 2015, bear interest at 12% per annum and are convertible at $3.00 per share.

Director Independence

Our board of directors is comprised of eleven members, six of whom (Thomas Trainer, Brian Banmiller, Robert Burnett, Leslie Green, David Jeffries and Ad Prins) are “independent” within the meaning of Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock and Series A preferred stock as of the date of this prospectus, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of our common stock and warrants in this offering, for:

      each person known by us at that date to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our based solely on Schedule 13D/13G filings with the SEC;

      each of our officers and directors at such date; and

      and all of our executive officers and directors at such date, as a group.

(2)   For purposes of this table, shares are considered beneficially owned if the person directly or indirectly has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting of the securities or the sole or shared power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the securities. Shares are also considered beneficially owned if a person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of the shares within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

As of the date of this prospectus, there were 3,664,180 shares of common stock outstanding and 41,667 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding. Concurrent with the closing of this offering, approximately $572,000 of principal and $44,000 of accrued interest will be converted into 264,540 shares of common stock.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of the common stock do not have any conversion rights, pre-emptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of capital stock and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock. We have not paid any dividends on its common stock since inception and expects to continue to retain all earnings generated by our operations for the development and growth of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends to its stockholders in the foreseeable future. The payment of future dividends on the common stock and the rate of such dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors in light of our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

Preferred Stock

Holders of our Series A preferred stock are entitled to 25 votes per share. Holders of the Series A preferred stock vote with the holders of the common stock and not as a separate class. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock do not have any conversion rights, pre-emptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of capital stock and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our Series A Preferred Stock.

We have not paid any dividends on our Series A preferred stock since inception and expect to continue to retain all earnings generated by our operations for the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our stockholders in the foreseeable future. The payment of future dividends on the Series A preferred stock and the rate of such dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors in light of our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

Warrants

As of the date of this prospectus, warrants for the issuance of 1,939,214 shares of our common stock were outstanding, exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $4.81 per share through various expiration dates through November 2020.

Warrants Issued in this Offering

The warrants issued in this offering entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price equal to % of the price per share of common stock sold in this offering, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing upon consummation of this offering and terminating at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth anniversary of the date of this prospectus.

The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between us and our warrant agent. The material provisions of the warrants are set forth herein but are only a summary and are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of the warrant agreement that has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend on or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the public warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the

58

expiration of the warrants. During any period we fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants, the warrant holder may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder. If multiple warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, we will aggregate the number of whole shares issuable upon exercise of all the warrants.

Underwriter’s Warrant

We have agreed to grant to the underwriter a warrant to purchase a number of shares equal to 8% of the total number of shares of common stock sold in this offering at an exercise price equal to 115% of the price per share of the common stock sold in this offering. The warrant will contain a cashless exercise feature.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

Our stock transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 4045 South Spencer Street, Suite 403, Las Vegas, NV 89119, telephone: 702-361-3033. Pacific Stock Transfer Company will also act as the warrant agent for the warrants issued in this offering.

Anti-Takeover Effects of our Charter and Bylaws

Certain provisions in our charter and bylaws could delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if that change might be beneficial to our stockholders. Our charter and bylaws contain provisions that might make acquiring control of us difficult, including provisions limiting rights to call special meetings of stockholders and regulating the ability of our stockholders to nominate directors for election at annual meetings of our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors has the authority, without further approval of our stockholders, to issue preferred stock having such rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors may determine. Any such issuance of preferred stock could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us and might adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law

Business Combinations

The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders of record, a “resident domestic corporation,” from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any “interested stockholder” unless certain conditions are met or the corporation has elected in its articles of incorporation to not be subject to these provisions. We have elected to opt out of these provisions. Consequently, until such time as we amend our charter to elect to be governed by these provisions, we will not be subject to these provisions.

A “combination” is generally defined to include (a) a merger or consolidation of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; (b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, by the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation to or with the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder having: (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the resident domestic corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation, or (iii) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the resident domestic corporation; (c) the issuance or transfer in one transaction or series of transactions of shares of the resident domestic corporation or any subsidiary of the resident domestic corporation having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the resident domestic corporation to the interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder; and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

59

An “interested stockholder” is generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. An “affiliate” of the interested stockholder is any person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries is controlled by or is under common control with the interested stockholder. An “associate” of an interested stockholder is any (a) corporation or organization of which the interested stockholder is an officer or partner or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of voting shares of such corporation or organization; (b) trust or other estate in which the interested stockholder has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which the interested stockholder serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; or (c) relative or spouse of the interested stockholder, or any relative of the spouse of the interested stockholder, who has the same home as the interested stockholder.

If applicable, the prohibition is for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless such transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders; and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless (a) the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder; (b) the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder; (c) the transaction is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than two years after the date the person first became an interested stockholder; or (d) if the consideration to be paid to all stockholders other than the interested stockholder is, generally, at least equal to the highest of: (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, (ii) the market value per share of common shares on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, plus compounded interest and less dividends paid, or (iii) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, plus accrued dividends, if not included in the liquidation value. With respect to (i) and (ii) above, the interest is compounded at the rate for one-year United States Treasury obligations from time to time in effect.

Applicability of the Nevada business combination statute, if applicable, would discourage parties interested in taking control of us if they cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors. These provisions could prohibit or delay a merger or other takeover or change in control attempt and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

Control Share Acquisitions

The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders of record, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada, unless the corporation has elected to not be subject to these provisions.

The control share statute prohibits an acquirer of shares of an issuing corporation, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: (a) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (b) one-third but less than a majority, and (c) a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once a person acquires shares in excess of any of the thresholds, those shares and any additional shares acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have opted out of these provisions. Consequently, until such time as we amend our charter to elect to be governed by these provisions, we will not be subject to these provisions.

60

The effect of the Nevada control share statute, if applicable, would be that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.

61

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Future sales of our common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. As described below, the sale of shares issued by us in a private transaction (outside of this offering) will be limited after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, sales of our common stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price at such time and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Based on the number of shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, upon the completion of this offering, 5,928,720 shares of our common stock will be outstanding, assuming (i) no exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares, (ii) no exercise of outstanding options or warrants and (iii) no conversion of outstanding debt.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

      1% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding; or

      the average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

For purposes of the six-month holding period requirement of Rule 144, a person who beneficially owns restricted shares of our common stock issued pursuant to a cashless exercise of a warrant shall be deemed to have acquired such shares, and the holding period for such shares shall be deemed to have commenced on the date the warrant was originally issued.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

      the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

      the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

      the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

      at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

Lock-Up Agreements

In connection with this offering, we and our officers, directors, and holders of 2.0% or more of our common stock have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements with the underwriter. See “Underwriting” for more information.

62

UNDERWRITING

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC acting as the sole book-running manager and underwriter named below. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to the underwriter, the number of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and as indicated below:

Underwriter

Number of Shares

Maxim Group LLC

2,000,000

Total

2,000,000

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter to pay for and accept delivery of the shares and warrants offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by its counsel and to other conditions. The underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the shares and warrants offered by this prospectus if any such shares and warrants are taken, other than those shares and warrants covered by the over-allotment option described below.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted to the underwriter an option, exercisable no later than 45 calendar days after the date of the underwriting agreement to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock at a price, after the underwriting discount of $ per share, and/or warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock at a price, after the underwriting discount of $ per warrant, from us to cover over-allotments. The underwriter may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised and the conditions of the underwriting agreement are satisfied, we will be obligated to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter will be obligated to purchase, these additional shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase common stock.

Commissions

We have agreed to pay the underwriter a cash fee equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in this offering and issue to the underwriter warrants to purchase that number of shares of our common stock equal to an aggregate of eight percent (8%) of the shares of common stock sold in the offering (or 160,000 shares, assuming the over-allotment option is fully exercised). Such underwriter’s warrant shall have an exercise price equal to $ per share, which is 115% of the public offering price, terminate five years after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and otherwise have the same terms as the warrants sold in this offering except that they will provide for unlimited “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the underlying shares during the two year period commencing six months after the effective date of this offering. Such underwriter’s warrant will be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1) in that, except as otherwise permitted by FINRA rules, for a period of 180 days following the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the underwriter’s warrants shall not be (A) sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or (B) the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person.

The underwriter proposes to offer the shares and warrants directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. In addition, the underwriter may offer some of the shares and warrants to other securities dealers at such price less a concession of up to $    per share. After the offering to the public, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriter without changing our proceeds from the underwriter’s purchase of the shares and warrants.

63

The following table summarizes the public offering price, underwriting commissions and proceeds, before expenses, to us assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares and warrants. The underwriting commissions are equal to the public offering price per share less the amount per share the underwriter pays us for the shares and warrants.

(1)   The fees shown do not include the warrant to purchase shares of common stock issuable to the underwriter at closing.

The total expenses of the offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, are payable by us. In addition, we will reimburse the underwriter for expenses it incurs in connection with this offering, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, up to an aggregate amount of $100,000. Any travel or lodging expenses in excess of $2,500 shall be subject to our prior approval. We will reimburse the underwriter for all such expenses regardless of whether the offering is consummated.

Lock-Up Agreements

We and each of our officers, directors, and existing stockholders who own at least 2% of our outstanding shares have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock for a period of six (6) months after the effective date of the registration statement (of which this prospectus is a part) without the prior written consent of Maxim Group LLC.

Maxim Group LLC may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, Maxim Group LLC will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

Right of First Refusal

We have agreed to grant Maxim Group LLC, for the 12-month period following the closing of this offering, a right of first refusal to act as manager or co-manager for any public underwriting or private placement of debt or equity securities, except for offerings involving equity compensation to our employees, equity issued in connection with a strategic acquisition or joint venture or any commercial bank financing.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. Specifically, the underwriter may over-allot in connection with this offering by selling more shares and warrants than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This creates a short position in our common stock for its own account. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares common stock or warrants over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of shares of common stock or warrants that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares of common stock or warrants involved is greater than the number of shares common stock or warrants in the over-allotment option. To close out a short position, the underwriter may elect to exercise all or part of the over-allotment option. The underwriter may also elect to stabilize the price of our common stock or reduce any short position by bidding for, and purchasing, common stock in the open market.

The underwriter may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when an underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing a security in this offering because the underwriter repurchases that security in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

64

Finally, the underwriter may bid for, and purchase, shares of our common stock in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock and warrants at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriter is not required to engage in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on the NASDAQ Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

In connection with this offering, the underwriter and selling group members, if any, or their affiliates may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock immediately prior to the commencement of sales in this offering, in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Rule 103 generally provides that:

      a passive market maker may not effect transactions or display bids for our common stock in excess of the highest independent bid price by persons who are not passive market makers;

      net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are generally limited to 30% of the passive market maker’s average daily trading volume in our common stock during a specified two-month prior period or 200 shares, whichever is greater, and must be discontinued when that limit is reached; and

      passive market making bids must be identified as such.

Other Terms

The underwriter and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking and other financial services for us, for which they may receive customary fees.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against liabilities relating to the offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, liabilities arising from breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, and to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make for these liabilities.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the underwriter. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of shares and warrants to selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriter to selling group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In connection with the offering, the underwriter or selling group members may distribute prospectuses electronically. No forms of electronic prospectus other than prospectuses that are printable as Adobe® PDF will be used in connection with this offering.

The underwriter has informed us that it does not expect to confirm sales of shares and warrants offered by this prospectus to accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority.

Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by an underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement (of which this prospectus forms a part), has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or any underwriter in its capacity as underwriter and should not be relied upon by investors.

Foreign Regulatory Restrictions on Purchase of Securities Generally

No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction (except in the United States) that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus, or the possession, circulation or distribution of this prospectus or any other material relating to us or the securities offered hereby in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the securities offered hereby may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this prospectus nor any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the securities offered hereby may be distributed or published in or from any country or jurisdiction, except in compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction.

The underwriter may arrange to sell securities offered by this prospectus in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, either directly or through affiliates, where it is permitted to do so.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), no offer of any shares may be made to the public in that Relevant Member State other than under the following exemptions to the Prospectus Directive:

      to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

      to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives; or

      in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of shares shall require us or any representative to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Each person in a Relevant Member State who initially acquires any shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. In the case of any shares being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that the shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant Member State to qualified investors as so defined or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.

We, our representatives and affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements.

This prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of shares in any Relevant Member State will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of shares. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or the underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither we nor the underwriter has authorized, nor does it authorize, the making of any offer of shares in circumstances in which an obligation arises for us or the underwriter to publish a prospectus for such offer.

For the purpose of the above provisions, the expression “an offer to the public” in relation to any shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the same may be varied in the Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in the Relevant Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member States) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

LEGAL MATTERS

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included in this prospectus and have been so included in reliance on the report of MaloneBailey, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere in the prospectus, given on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

On April 20, 2015, we dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, MaloneBailey’s audit reports on our financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than an explanatory paragraph in such audit reports regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and through the subsequent interim period preceding MaloneBailey’s dismissal, there were (i) no disagreements between us and MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to MaloneBailey’s satisfaction, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference in connection with MaloneBailey’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; and (ii) no “reportable events” as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On April 21, 2015, we engaged RBSM LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

The (i) financial statements of HT Skills Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, (ii) consolidated financial statements of Member Digital Ltd. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and (iii) consolidated financial statements of Group Card BV as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been audited by RBSM LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere in the prospectus, given on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The consolidated financial statements of ELEQT Ltd. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been audited by Beckstead & Company, an independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere in the prospectus, given on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
EFactor Group Corp.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EFactor Group Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EFactor Group Corp and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

EFACTOR GROUP CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated audited financial statements of EFactor Group Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries The E-Factor Corporation, MCC International, HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT, and Robson Dowry, all inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

On July 14, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock at a ratio of 1 for 60 (the “Stock Split”), which Amendment became effective on July 17, 2015. Unless otherwise noted, all references herein to the number of common shares, price per common share or weighted average number of common shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split on a retroactive basis.

Description of Business

We were originally formed as a Nevada corporation on July 27, 2001, under the name Online Holdings, Inc. Subsequently, on September 1, 2006, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 24, 2006 by and among our company, Standard Drilling Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation (“Standard Drilling Acquisition”), and Standard Drilling, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Standard Drilling Delaware”), Standard Drilling Acquisition was merged with and into Standard Drilling Delaware, and Standard Drilling Delaware became our wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the merger, our company, which previously had no material operations, acquired the business of Standard Drilling Delaware. In conjunction with the merger, we changed our name to Standard Drilling, Inc.

On February 1, 2013, we entered into an Acquisition and Share Exchange Agreement (which we refer to herein as the Exchange Agreement) with The E-Factor Corp., a Delaware corporation (which we refer to herein as EFactor), and certain shareholders of EFactor (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which significantly all of the common stock sellers of EFactor agreed to transfer to us 109,671 shares of common stock of EFactor in exchange for the issuance of: (a) 833,333 shares of our common stock; (b) 83,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (c) an additional 370,519 shares of our common stock were issued in October 2013. The Share Exchange closed on February 11, 2013.

As a result of the Share Exchange, EFactor became our majority-owned subsidiary. We are now a holding company with all of our operations conducted through EFactor Group Corp., which is the owner of a portfolio of entrepreneur-focused product and service companies which exist around and complement EFactor.com, a targeted social network providing content and resources for entrepreneurs worldwide. The EFactor network is designed to support our members as their business grow, along each step of the process.

EFactor was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 30, 2007, and provides a full-featured social network for entrepreneurs. EFactor provides a platform that enables access to a network of contacts, registration for networking events, advisory consulting, various business tools and a broad range of services and information.

On October 31, 2012, EFactor merged with EQmentor, an online professional development company organized in 2007 that provides working professionals 24/7 access to a custom-matched mentor, a global cross-industry peer community, and repositories of knowledge to empower high performance in the workplace.

On February 14, 2013, EFactor acquired MCC International (“MCC”), a public relations and communications agency. MCC was founded in 1988. The agency is based in the United Kingdom and promotes through enhancement of company’s reputation utilizing print and social media news outlets, focusing on upper tier emerging technology and science companies, as well as professional service organizations, from entrepreneur start-ups and spin-offs to global consumer brands.

On July 1, 2014, the Company acquired HT Skills, based in London, which is a fully-accredited provider of apprenticeships and work-based vocational learning, and is also an experienced welfare-to-work job-broker. HT Skills has successfully delivered Government-funded contracts for Skills Funding Agencies (SFA), Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), and European Social Funds (ESF) and has secured sustainable employment for young people since 2006.

The Company currently maintains its corporate office in New York, New York.

Note 2. Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is new and has no history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue.

There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for share-based awards issued to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Accordingly, employee share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Additionally, share-based awards to non-employees are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value. The Company applies ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for the accounts receivable accounts payable and short-term notes are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time

EFACTOR GROUP CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and, if applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, the Company’s only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2014:

Cash and Cash Equivalents — For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the clients that comprise our customer base and their dispersion across different business and geographic areas. We estimate and maintain an allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts and such estimates have historically been within management’s expectations.

Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. The Company occasionally maintains amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions. The Company had no deposits in excess of federally insured limits at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

EFACTOR GROUP CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Accounts Receivable — The Company’s accounts receivable arise primarily from the sale of advertising, public relations services and promotional placements on its website and from advisory services. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had six and five major customers respectively making up the full receivable balance. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates each customer account and based on the days outstanding of the receivable, history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions, writes off accounts it considers uncollectible. Invoices are typically due in 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts and the Company does not require collateral. Accounts become past due on an account-by-account basis. Determination that an account is uncollectible is made after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, improvements and major replacements that extend the life of the asset are capitalized.

Depreciation and amortization is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets, which are generally three to five years.

Website and Software Development Costs Internal use software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 which requires the capitalization of certain external and internal computer software costs incurred during the application development stage. The application development stage is characterized by software design and configuration activities, coding, testing and installation. Training costs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditures will result in additional functionality. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset of three years.

The Company capitalized website and internal-use software costs of $109,969 and $383,670 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, during 2014, the Company added $403,059 of website development costs in conjunction with its acquisition of ELEQT. The Company’s capitalized website and internal-use software amortization is included in depreciation and amortization in the Company’s statements of operations, and totaled $217,560 and $262,100 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Goodwill — In financial reporting goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include significant changes in the business climate, declines in our operating results, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess potential impairment by considering present economic conditions as well as future expectations.

We review goodwill for impairment by performing a two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test is required to measure the goodwill impairment loss.

The second step includes valuing all the tangible and intangible assets of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying amount.

Calculating the fair value of a reporting unit and the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill requires significant judgment. The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in either step of the goodwill impairment testing process, such as the estimated future cash flows of reporting units, the discount rate used to discount such cash flows, or the estimated fair value of the reporting units’ tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, could significantly increase or decrease the estimated fair value of a reporting unit or its net assets.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The Company recorded an impairment of its investment of $17,698,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Company evaluated the holding value of this investment based upon guidelines outlined in ASC 320 and concluded the fair value of the asset had declined by $17,698,000 from its value at acquisition.

Derivatives — All derivatives held by us are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We issued warrants on our own common stock in conjunction with the term loan discussed in Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements. These warrants meet the definition of a derivative and are reflected as a warrant liability at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Likewise, embedded conversion options in our convertible notes which qualify for derivative accounting are bifurcated and their corresponding fair values are recorded as derivative liabilities.

Embedded Conversion Features — The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

Foreign currency and foreign currency transactions — The functional currency of MCC International, HT Skills, Member Digital, and Robson Dowry is the pound sterling (GBP) while the functional currency of GroupCard BV is the Euro. Balance sheet accounts of these entities are translated from their functional currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains or losses related to net assets are recorded as unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency) are included in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

Revenue Recognition — Revenues are presented net of discounts. In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Where arrangements have multiple elements, revenue is allocated to the elements based on the relative selling price method and revenue is recognized based on the Company’s policy for each respective element.

The Company applies judgment with respect to whether it can establish a selling price based on third party evidence. The Company does not have any product offerings that would be considered multiple deliverables; therefore the pricing model is determined based on competitor prices for similar product offerings. When it is unable to establish selling price using this method, the Company determines its best estimate for deliverables by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, its pricing practices, profit margin, prices it charges for similar offerings, sales volume, geographies, market conditions, and the competitive landscape.

The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of the following services:

      Member Fees — We have a VIP package which offers members access to premium services such as all our events, airport lounges, VIP lounges and VIP content on the site. We also hold a variety of networking and informational events for our members to which members can gain a subscription and provide varying other membership packages to our members that allow them access to premium services via our website. Revenue from member services is recognized ratably over the contractual period, generally from one to 12 months.

      Sponsorships — The Company generates revenues from Sponsors in a variety of ways. Sponsors can gain exposure to the Company’s members, either through placement or short write-ups in newsletters, on event invitations or by participating as a sponsor at one of the Company’s Events where a Sponsor may provide access to its products or

service (booth/stall) or by being a speaker or panelist at an event that fits in their industry. This revenue is recognized over the specific event timeline, which varies from a single day event or a longer-term promotional event over a series of weeks.

      Public Relations — We provide market and brand awareness consulting services, targeting high and emerging technology and science companies, as well as professional service organizations that help get recognition within the practiced community and provide an explicit company identity. This revenue is recognized when the services are complete.

      Advertising — Visitor demographics and time spent on a website are the primary drivers behind advertising-based revenue models for internet properties. When a user clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicked on through the Company’s application (CPA basis). Proceeds from such contracts are recognized over the period in which the advertisements are displayed on the websites.

      Advisory Services — The Company promotes and makes available advisory and consulting services to members for the purpose of support, introduction guidance and general mentoring of members in their pursuit of their entrepreneurial objectives, for which fees are charged. These revenues are recorded when services for the transactions are determined to be concluded, generally as set forth under the terms of the engagement or when the sundry milestones have been completed after the defined services are performed. Transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of costs directly associated with the transaction, are deferred and recognized in the same period as the transaction revenue.

Amounts billed or collected in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

Unbilled revenue represents revenues recognized in excess of the amounts billed for completed services.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB Topic 360, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. During 2014 and 2013, there have been no impairment losses.

Comprehensive Loss — There are components of comprehensive loss other than net loss that the Company has incurred as it relates to foreign currency, and accordingly the Company now presents a comprehensive income and loss for the periods presented.

Net Loss per Common Share — Basic net loss per share of common stock excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. For all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities are excluded because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company incurred advertising costs of $400,137 and $422,139 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Nonmonetary transactions — Based on guidance provided in accordance with ASC No. 845 Nonmonetary Transactions (“ASC 845”), barter transactions with commercial substance are recorded at the estimated fair value of the products exchanged, unless the products received have a more readily determinable estimated fair value. The fair value of the product and services received during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $68,685.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Reclassifications — Certain comparative amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These changes did not affect previously reported net loss.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions issued by the FASB which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company computes tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 5. Notes Payable and Line of Credit

Notes payable

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company issued unsecured convertible notes payable to individuals totaling $1,916,950 and $1,004,410, respectively. These notes bear annual interest of 0%-12%, mature within a period ranging from six (6) months to one (1) year from issuance and are convertible into common shares at prices ranging from $12.00 to $180.00 per common share. The Company also issued five unsecured short-term notes payable to individuals totaling $223,488 in 2013. These notes bear annual interest of 12% and mature within a period of six (6) months from issuance.

The Company issued a total of 12,794 common shares and 1,667 warrants in 2014 and 1,257 common shares in 2013, with the notes and the relative fair value of the shares and warrants amounting to $656,671 in 2014 and $361,816 in 2013 were recognized as debt discounts and amortized over the term of the notes. The warrants issued with the 2014 convertible notes have a term of 36 months and an exercise price of Euro 27.00 per share. The Company evaluated the embedded conversion features

within the convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded conversion feature of certain notes issued in 2014 qualified for derivative accounting. See Note 7. Additionally, the instruments were evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features. The Company determined the beneficial conversion feature for all convertible notes to be $860,697 and $581,887 in 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was recognized as a debt discount and amortized over the term of the notes.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company made principal repayments totaling $61,537 and $1,876, respectively. Likewise, 150,316 and 10,215 common shares were issued to convert $1,749,901 and $532,564 of convertible debt and accrued interest in 2014 and 2013, respectively. A loss on conversion of debt amounting to $553,182 was recognized for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

On September 19, 2013, the Company amended a convertible note dated January 14, 2013 to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2013 and to remove the convertible feature of the note. The Company issued 50 common shares as consideration for the amendment, the noteholder has subsequently converted his note in January of 2014. The modification of the convertible note was considered substantial under ASC 470-50 and the rules on debt extinguishment were applied. Consequently, a loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 amounting to $50,109 in connection with this amendment.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $1,855,290 and $841,362, respectively, of interest expense due to the amortization of debt discounts on all convertible and unsecured short-term notes.

Odom Line of Credit

On June 7, 2013, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Odom Agreement”) with Charles Odom, the lender, in the amount of $750,000. Pursuant to the Agreement, the lender shall make loans to the Company from time to time commencing on the date of the Agreement and shall continue for a period of twenty four (24) months thereafter ending June 7, 2015.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has drawn $475,000 from the line leaving a current available balance of $275,000. As required by the Odom Agreement, the Company also issued 1,979 shares to the lender, proportionate to amounts drawn, which was recognized as deferred financing fees of $475,000 and amortized over the term of the line of credit. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, $245,867 has been amortized into interest expense. All amounts drawn from the line of credit are subject to annual interest of 15% and will mature within a period of 12 months or within 14 days after the Company has a capital

raise with proceeds of $10 million, whichever is earlier. The line of credit is secured by all of the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2015, we had received advances under the line of credit totaling $475,000 and have completed a first repayment of $75,000. We have been advised by the lender that, due to extenuating circumstances, it is not currently able, nor is it likely to provide us with additional advances under the line of credit in the future.

Bank loans

Through the acquisition of the HT Skills entity on July 1, 2014 the Company also assumed three separate banking activities where the former principal owner of HT Skills has continued to guarantee the amount of the funds provided whether in an overdraft or outstanding balance position. As of December 31, 2014, HT Skills has an outstanding balance on their overdraft facility of $63,030 (GBP39,981) which is included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2014, HT Skills has outstanding balances for two term loans totaling to $148,006 (GBP86,500). These loans mature on May 31, 2015, are subject to annual interest at a rate of 8% over the prevailing Bank of England Base Rate (the Bank of England base rate is currently 0.5% a year, but may change from time to time) and are secured by the assets of HT Skills.

Note 6. Other Liabilities

Justice Obligation

As part of the acquisition of EQmentor, Inc., the Company entered into an employment agreement with the former majority shareholder of EQmentor, Inc. where the latter is entitled to receive a quarterly bonus in an amount equivalent to $103,333 (net of payment of all payroll taxes and other withholdings), in cash or common stock. The purpose of the obligation was to allow the former majority shareholder to repay certain debts that he had personally secured during the course of his ownership of EQmentor, Inc. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, this obligation has an outstanding balance of $661,333 which is included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The obligation accrues interest of 3.5% per annum. The Company is anticipating payments to begin on a quarterly basis during the second quarter in 2015.

MCC Obligation

As a component of the MCC acquisition the Company acquired a long-term liability related to a previous recapitalization of MCC. Specifically, MCC entered into an arrangement with its creditors during 2010, in what is referred as a “Company Voluntary Arrangement” (“CVA”), in order to protect MCC from any unreceptive creditor action. In connection with the arrangement, the Company is required to make monthly fixed payments to a trustee of $2,275 (£1,500 GBP). These payments are scheduled to end in February 2019. This obligation is reported as other long-term obligations in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7. Derivative Instruments

Two notes issued during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 included reset provisions on the conversion price if certain events occur. Specifically, the terms of the notes provided that the conversion price of $60.00 will reset to $30.00 if the Company’s securities offering falls below $60.00 per share or if the securities offering is not completed by February 28, 2014. This resulted in a derivative liability being recognized at the issuance date amounting to $525,632 with a corresponding charge to debt discount for the full amount of the notes amounting to $267,417 and the balance of $258,215 to derivative loss. On February 28, 2014, the reset provisions in these notes were triggered and the conversion price reset to $30.00 per share. Consequently, the derivative liability was marked to market on such date and an additional derivative loss of $301,677 was recognized. The fair value of the derivative liability at the re-measurement date amounting to $827,309 was credited to additional paid in capital.

discount. On May 30, 2014, the reset provisions in these notes were triggered and the conversion price reset to $30.00 per share. Consequently, the derivative liability was marked to market and a derivative loss of $16,251 was recognized. The fair value of the derivative liability at the re-measurement date amounting to $23,059 was credited to additional paid-in capital.

A convertible note issued in October 2014 amounting to $63,102 contained a variable conversion rate which qualified for derivative accounting. This tainted other outstanding convertible notes which resulted to the conversion option on these notes to be bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities. A derivative liability of $2,274,454 was recognized and debited to additional paid in capital. The convertible note with the variable conversion rate was converted in November 2014. Consequently, the derivative liability was marked to market as of the conversion date and a derivative gain of $1,764,184 was recognized. The fair value of the derivative liability at the re-measurement date amounting to $510,270 was credited to additional paid-in capital.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we may, from time to time, be subject to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings. While the results of any litigation or other legal proceedings are uncertain, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of any pending legal matters is likely to have a material adverse effective on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We accrue for loss contingencies when it is both probable that we will incur the loss and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2014, there were no material pending or threatened legal actions or proceedings against us.

The Company also issued 63,792 options to purchase common shares to employees. These options had terms of 4 to 5 years; exercise prices of $31.80-$35.40, and had vesting dates from immediately to October 1, 2011. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Significant assumptions used in the valuation include the following:

Expected term: 3.25-3.75 years
Expected volatility: 173.31% – 173.49%
Risk free interest rate: 0.85% – 4.16%
Expected dividend yield: 0%

The grant date fair value of the options was determined to be $2,574,788. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, stock option expense related to the options totaled $135,738 and $78,200, respectively.

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity (cont.)

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized a net benefit of $0 and $145,455, respectively due to the forfeiture of options of terminated employees and an expense of $135,738 and $41,165, respectively, for stock option expense related to options granted in prior periods.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense for the periods presented in the statements of operations represents minimum California franchise taxes. The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

The Company may not be able to utilize the net operating loss carry forwards for its U.S. income taxes in future periods should it experience a change in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under section 382, should the Company experience a more than 50% change in its ownership over a 3-year period, the Company would be limited based on a formula as defined in the IRC to the amount per year it could utilize in that year of the net operating loss carry forwards. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) imposes limitations on the use of NOL’s and credits following changes in ownership as defined in the IRC. The limitation could reduce the amount of benefits that would be available to offset future taxable income each year, starting with the year of an ownership change. The Company has not completed the complex analysis required by the IRC to determine if an ownership change has occurred.

The tax effects of the temporary differences and carry forwards that give rise to deferred tax assets consist of the following:

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $17,130,000 and $12,390,000, respectively. These carry forwards will begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2032. Utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions. The Company has not performed a change in ownership analysis since its inception in 2007 and, accordingly, some or all of its net operating loss carry forwards may not be available to offset future taxable income. Even if the loss carry forwards are available, they may be subject to substantial annual limitations resulting from past ownership changes, and ownership changes occurring after December 31, 2014, that could result in the expiration of the loss carry forwards before they are utilized.

The nature of the components of the deferred tax assets are attributable to the Net operating loss carry-forwards incurred by the Company and temporary differences that maybe used in future years to offset future tax liabilities. We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from these deferred tax assets will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance of $5,994,532 on the deferred tax assets relating to these NOL carryforwards.

EFACTOR GROUP CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 11. Income Taxes (cont.)

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by the valuation allowance to the extent the future realization of the deferred tax assets is not judged to be more likely than not. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carry-forward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, which encompasses the foreign owned entities filing requirements, along with the State of California. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years 2007 through 2014 due to net operating losses that are being carried forward for tax purposes. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2014 or 2013. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as components of interest expense and other expense, respectively.

same date, the parties consummated the transaction, pursuant to which the GC Sellers sold, and the Company purchased, all of GroupCard’s outstanding capital stock, in exchange for 46,875 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the GC Sellers four semi-annual earn-out payments of shares of Common Stock (“Earn-Out Shares”), commencing on January 1, 2015.

In the event 20,000 or more members are added by GroupCard during a semi-annual period (each, an “Earn-Out Period”), the Company shall issue to the GC Sellers the number of Earn-Out Shares equal to (i) $25.00 per member added by GroupCard during such Earn-Out Period, divided by (ii). In the event less than 20,000 members are added during an Earn-Out Period, the Company will not issue any Earn-Out Shares to the Sellers for such period; however, any members added during such Earn-Out Period will be counted towards the subsequent Earn-Out Period. The Company has evaluated the potential contingencies associated with this Exchange Agreement and determined that as of December 31, 2014 there was a liability for contingent consideration of approximately $875,000 which will be settled in common stock.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of EFactor Group Corp. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) have been prepared by the Company’s management in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“Form 10-K”), which was filed on April 14, 2015. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

On April 28, 2015, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 175,000,000 to 300,000,000.

On July 14, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock at a ratio of 1 for 60 (the “Stock Split”), which Amendment became effective on July 17, 2015. Unless otherwise noted, all references herein to the number of common shares, price per common share or weighted average number of common shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split on a retroactive basis.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

Our mission is to assist entrepreneurs in building and growing their businesses. We believe we are the only global company that combines a comprehensive online and in-person social network with business services and funding focused exclusively on the entrepreneurial community. Operating through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we provide our more than 2.0 million members with social networking opportunities, business services including education and mentoring, and funding including educational tools and opportunities such as donation-based crowdfunding. Coupled with members in every country of the world (196 countries) participating in 240 industry groups, we have created a global, resource-rich ecosystem for entrepreneurs and small businesses that serves as a source of inspiration and ideas and provides essential services to foster business growth.

Our operations consist of the following three divisions:

      Social Networks — Our social networks division is at the core of our company, offering numerous social networking tools to members, hosting live networking events, connecting business owners, providing direct member benefits and aggregating customer loyalty programs. We utilize our EScore™ benchmarking tool as part of our social networks division. EScore™ is based on our proprietary algorithm which allows individual entrepreneurs to benchmark themselves against a large pool of entrepreneur metrics and helps them find the resources they need for their own operations through a variety of innovative tools accompanied by available guidance and education to make qualified decisions.

      Business Services — Our business services division offers critical services to entrepreneurs to build their businesses including brand marketing, staffing, graphic design, public relations and other third-party business resources.

      Funding — Our funding division enables entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise money from donations and pre-orders by the general public through our recently-acquired subsidiary, RocketHub, a donation-based crowdfunding platform. We also provide interactive materials concerning financing needs and opportunities for our entrepreneur members.

The Company currently maintains its corporate office in New York, New York.

EFACTOR GROUP CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation (cont.)

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2 — Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the Company is new, has limited history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit

Notes payable

On January 9, 2015 the Company issued $125,000 in convertible notes to an investor group and an additional $25,000 in February 2015. The notes have a maturity of one (1) year and interest rate of 10% per annum and are convertible at a price of 50% of the average closing bid prices on the primary trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to conversion. In conjunction with the notes the Company issued 33,333 Warrants to the Investors with a strike price of $6.00 per share.

These acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets which either arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is considered goodwill. The Company’s results of operations included the activities of Member Digital, HT Skills, GroupCard, ELEQT, Robson Dowry, and RocketHub from their respective dates of acquisition. The Company recorded the purchase based on the quoted market price of the stock for the purchase.

Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair values as of their respective acquisition dates. The total estimated purchase prices were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value allocation is preliminary and is subject to change based on evaluations of the assets currently being performed by the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of HT SKILLS LTD

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of HT SKILLS LTD (a United Kingdom company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HT SKILLS LTD as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HT SKILLS LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

HT Skills, Ltd (the “Company”) is an entity organized under the laws of England and Wales incorporated on April 13, 2006. HT Skills, based in London, is a fully-accredited provider of high-quality apprenticeships and work-based vocational learning, and is also an experienced welfare-to-work job-broker. With experience and creativity, and a business model that is inherently flexible and highly scalable, HT Skills can respond rapidly to the evolving requirements of funders, employers and individual clients.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents amounts on deposit in the banks and cash temporarily in various instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to United Kingdom Tax and a provision is made for any liability due in the accounts, if applicable.

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset even though the Company believes it is more likely than not that the assets will be utilized.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates associated with taxing jurisdictions because of permanent and temporary timing differences as well as a valuation allowance.

Revenue Recognition

HT Skills, based in London, is a fully-accredited provider of high-quality apprenticeships and work-based vocational learning, and is also an experienced welfare-to-work job-broker. With experience and creativity, and a business model that is inherently flexible and highly scalable, HT Skills can respond rapidly to the evolving requirements of funders, employers and individual clients. HT Skills has successfully delivered Government-funded contracts for Skills Funding Agencies, Department of Work and Pensions, and European Social Funds and has secured sustainable employment for thousands of young people since 2006.

HT SKILLS LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

HT Skills, Ltd (the “Company”) is an entity organized under the laws of England and Wales incorporated on April 13, 2006. HT Skills, based in London, is a fully-accredited provider of high-quality apprenticeships and work-based vocational learning, and is also an experienced welfare-to-work job-broker. With experience and creativity, and a business model that is inherently flexible and highly scalable, HT Skills can respond rapidly to the evolving requirements of funders, employers and individual clients.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents amounts on deposit in the banks and cash temporarily in various instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to United Kingdom Tax and a provision is made for any liability due in the accounts, if applicable.

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset even though the Company believes it is more likely than not that the assets will be utilized.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates associated with taxing jurisdictions because of permanent and temporary timing differences as well as a valuation allowance.

Revenue Recognition

HT Skills, based in London, is a fully-accredited provider of high-quality apprenticeships and work-based vocational learning, and is also an experienced welfare-to-work job-broker. With experience and creativity, and a business model that is inherently flexible and highly scalable, HT Skills can respond rapidly to the evolving requirements of funders, employers and individual clients. HT Skills has successfully delivered Government-funded contracts for Skills Funding Agencies, Department of Work and Pensions, and European Social Funds and has secured sustainable employment for thousands of young people since 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Member Digital Ltd

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Member Digital Ltd (a UK registered private limited company), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations and cash flows for the period then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Member Digital Ltd as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents amounts on deposit in the banks and cash temporarily in various instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to UK Corporation Tax and a provision is made for any liability due in the accounts.

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset even though the Company believes it is more likely than not that the assets will be utilized.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of GroupCard BV

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of GroupCard BV (a Netherlands company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GroupCard BV as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders ELEQT Ltd

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ELEQT LTD. as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ELEQT LTD. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2013 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company is dependent on raising capital to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Use of Estimates

 

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Property, Website and Equipment; Depreciation and Amortization

 

      Property and computer equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Additions, improvements and major replacements that extend the life of the asset are capitalized. The initial cost of the website has been capitalized. Once the site is considered operating, future costs to maintain the site will be expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization related to assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income in the period of disposal.

 

 

 

 

 

      The Company accounts for web site costs in accordance with FASB Topic 350 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and FASB Topic 350 “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs”. As a result, costs associated with the web site application and infrastructure development stage are capitalized. Amortization of costs commenced once the web site was ready for its intended use.

 

 

 

 

 

      For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Financial reporting provisions for depreciation and amortization are generally based on the following annual rates and estimated useful lives:

 

Type of Asset

 

Rates

 

Years

20% – 33

Income Taxes

 

      The Company has not generated any taxable income, and, therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided.

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

      Revenues are derived from multiple revenue streams including online advertisements, member benefits and events.

 

 

 

 

 

      All sources of revenue are recorded pursuant to FASB Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, when persuasive evidence of arrangement exists, delivery of services has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. At various times during the year, the Company may exceed the federally insured limits. To mitigate this risk, the Company places its cash deposits only with high credit quality institutions. Management believes the risk of loss is minimal. At December 31, 2013 the Company did not have any uninsured cash deposits.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

      The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB Topic 360, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are determined based on quoted market value, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. During 2013 the Company did not recognize an impairment charge.

 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

      The Company has assessed all newly issued accounting pronouncements released during the year ended December 31, 2013, and have found none of them to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

 

 

Foreign Currencies

 

      Functional and presentation currency: The individual financial statements of each entity in the consolidated group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (USD), which is also the Company’s functional currency.

 

 

 

 

 

      Foreign currency transactions: In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the consolidated group’s net investment in foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the consolidated group’s net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in either the functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are initially taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity until the disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are recognised in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Company’s net investment in foreign operation, regardless of the currency of the monetary item, are recognised in profit or loss in the Company’s financial statements or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

 

      Foreign operations: The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (USD) of the consolidated financial statements are translated into USD as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

-       Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

 

 

-       Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates for the year, which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and

 

 

-       All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity.

 

 

 

3. Going Concern

 

      The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

 

 

 

 

      As laid out in the company’s strategy, the company is investing heavily in technology, organization, international roll-out and market share growth in order to become the world’s leading exclusive social network. The company is in the early stages of its development and as a result, historically, the company has had operating losses, and negative cash flows from operations. The company and its subsidiaries have seen significant growth in revenue in every year of its existence and a steady improvement in net result. However, the company will seek to raise additional capital in order to further accelerate its growth. The successful completion of this may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions, changes in the competitive landscape and failure to reach certain milestones.

 

 

 

 

 

      To address its financing requirements, the company will seek financing through debt and/or equity financings, asset sales, and rights offerings to new and existing shareholders. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Management expects that it will be able to acquire sufficient capital, both from its operating cash flow and from financing activities, to remain fully operational in the foreseeable future.

12. Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

      The Company has adopted FASB Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the number of shares of common stock outstanding by the end of the year. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. However, shares associated with convertible debt, stock options and stock warrants are not included because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive (i.e. reduce the net loss per common share).

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Cash and Equivalents, Receivables, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable, Accrued and Other Current Liabilities

 

 

The carrying amounts of these items approximated fair value.

 

 

 

 

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10-35 to our assets and liabilities are described below:

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Management of the Company hereby presents its financial statements for the financial year ended on December 31, 2012.

General information

On January 27, 2012 the Company acquired Elysiants NV and Qubers Limited by means of transfer of the entire issued share capital of Elysiants NV by the shareholders of Elysiants NV and transfer of the entire issued share capital of Qubers limited by Quintessentially Publishing Limited.

2012, in every aspect of the business, has been a transition year for the Company as it brought both networks together under one new brand, ELEQT, and introduced the network to several new markets around the world.

The ELEQT social network opens a window into a new realm of luxury networking, offering connected and discerning HNW individuals the opportunity to access the best possible business opportunities, to engage with international peers, get involved in mutually beneficial corporate deals, and have access to even greater luxury lifestyle benefits. By encouraging individuality, creating introductions to top luxury brands and offering access to the world’s hottest events and locations.

Revenues are derived from multiple revenue streams including off line events and promotions, committed advertising, banner advertising, license fees and others.

As a result of the above-mentioned acquisitions the Company induced significantly higher than expected advisory, rebranding and development costs. Also, the board of the Company decided, in order to give a realistic view of the Company, to take a significant provision for historic doubtful debt, accumulated over the past 5 years within Elysiants NV, as a one-time charge in this year’s accounts.

Towards the end of the year the Company started investing considerably in the development of a completely new online network and enabling technology with an expected completion in H3 2013.

Amidst all this the Company managed to achieve significant growth on all key metrics, including revenue and membership growth.

As laid out in the Company’s strategy, the Company is investing constantly in technology, organization, international roll-out and market share growth in order to become the world’s leading exclusive social network. The Company is in the early stages of its development and as a result, historically, the Company has had operating losses, and negative cash flows from operations.

The Company and its subsidiaries have seen significant growth in revenue in every year of its existence and a steady improvement in net result. However, the Company will seek to raise additional capital in order to further accelerate its growth. The successful completion of this may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions, changes in the competitive landscape and failure to reach certain milestones. To address its financing requirements, the Company will seek financing through debt and/or equity financings, asset sales, and rights offerings to new and existing shareholders. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.

Eleqt Ltd., United Kingdom

Management expects that it will be able to acquire sufficient capital, both from its operating cash flow and from financing activities, to remain fully operational in the foreseeable future.

In 2013 the Company successfully attracted new financing from both existing and new shareholders.

REVIEW REPORT

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Eleqt Ltd. for the period November 29, 2011 until December 31, 2012. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on these financial statements.

Scope

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2400. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the financial position of Eleqt Ltd. as at December 31, 2012, and of its results for the period November 29, 2011 until December 31, 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to note 1 regarding “going concern basis for accounting” in the consolidated financial statements which indicates the reasons for operating losses and negative cash-flows. Eleqt Ltd. will raise additional capital to remain fully operational in the foreseeable future. However this may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions, changes in the competitive landscape and failure to reach certain milestones. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 1, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Eleqt Ltd., United Kingdom
Notes to consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2012

(1) General

Eleqt Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on the 29th of November 2011. The business of the Company is a social media platform company targeting high net worth individuals. These financial statements cover the period from date of incorporation to December 31, 2012.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”.

Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The significant accounting policies are summarized below.

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on October 18, 2013.

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis unless otherwise stated.

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Going concern basis of accounting

As laid out in the Company’s strategy, the Company is investing heavily in technology, organization, international roll-out and market share growth in order to become the world’s leading exclusive social network. The Company is in the early stages of its development and as a result, historically, the Company has had operating losses, and negative cash flows from operations.

The Company and its subsidiaries have seen significant growth in revenue in every year of its existence and a steady improvement in net result. However, the Company will seek to raise additional capital in order to further accelerate its growth. The successful completion of this may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions, changes in the Competitive landscape and failure to reach certain milestones. To address its financing requirements, the company will seek financing through debt and/or equity financings, asset sales, and rights offerings to new and existing shareholders. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.

Management expects that it will be able to acquire sufficient capital, both from its operating cash flow and from financing activities, to remain fully operational in the foreseeable future.

(1) General (cont.)

New standards and amendments to standards effective January 1, 2012

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2012 and have been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these standards have significant effect on the measurement of the amounts recognized in the financial statements of the Company. The standards, interpretations and amendments issued but not yet effective are expected to have a limited impact on the financial statements.

Business combinations

On January 27, 2012 the Company acquired Elysiants N.V. and Qubers Limited by means of transfer of the entire issued share capital of Elysiants N.V. by the shareholders of Elysiants N.V. and transfer of the entire issued share capital of Qubers Limited by Quintessentially Publishing Limited. In return the former shareholders of Elysiants N.V. and Quintessentially Publishing Limited received issued shares in the Company.

The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized as per acquisition date.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial data of the Company and its group companies and other companies controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Group companies are participating interests in which the Company has a direct and indirect controlling interest.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Intra-group balances, and any other unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Non-controlling interest are measured at their proportionate share of identifiable net assets (which are generally at fair value). Adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.

Foreign currency transactions

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to US dollars at the foreign currency closing exchange rate at the reporting date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign currency exchange rate at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the profit and loss account.

Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial assets

The Group initially recognizes receivables on the date that they are originated. The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

F-98

Eleqt Ltd., United Kingdom
Notes to consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2012

(1) General (cont.)

The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the category: loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities comprise loan and borrowings and trade and other payables.

The Group does not hold any derivative financial instruments.

Tangible fixed assets

The valuation of tangible fixed assets is based on the purchase price of an asset less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each item of the tangible fixed assets, taking into consideration residual value if any. The estimated useful lives are 3 years for automated equipment and 5 years for office equipment.

Intangible fixed assets

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Intangible fixed assets are amortized on straight-line basis in profit and loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use.

Impairment of non-derivative financial assets

A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss, is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise and indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers.

F-99

Eleqt Ltd., United Kingdom
Notes to consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2012

(1) General (cont.)

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

The Group considers evidence of impairment for financial assets (receivables) measured at amortized cost at both specific asset and collective level. All individually significant assets are assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trend of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are like to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the expected recoverable amount. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance accounts against receivables. When an event occurring after the impairment was recognized causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Employee benefits

Share-based payment transactions

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service conditions at the vesting date.

Results

The results are determined by recognizing revenues and expenses in the period to which they are related, unless mentioned otherwise.

Finance cost

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings that are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

Tax

Tax expense comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rated enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax is recognized in profit or loss.

(8) Financial Risk Management

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

- Credit risk

- Liquidity risk

- Market risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and bank balances. The Company does not expect significant risk from bank balances which are held with well-established financial institutions.

Trade and other receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate has less of an influence on credit risk.

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The allowance is determined by management based on customer by customer analyze.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Company has a strict cash flow monitor process in which on a continue basis cash flows are projected and analyzed. The Company is funded from revenues of realized sales as well as finance activities.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The Company currency exchange risk is limited. Most of the transactions are US Dollar or Euro related. There are no interesting baring debt or receivables.

      Expected volatility is 5%.

      Exercise price is USD1,000.

      Time to maturity is 2.5 year

      Risk-free interest rate is 1%

(16) Subsequent events

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

      Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in the determination of depreciation and amortization, the valuation for non-cash issuances of common stock, and the website, income taxes and contingencies, among others.

 

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

      The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents amounts on deposit in the banks and cash temporarily in various instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

 

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

      Statement of financial accounting standard FASB Topic 820, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

Property, Website and Equipment; Depreciation and Amortization

 

      Property and computer equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Additions, improvements and major replacements that extend the life of the asset are capitalized. The initial cost of the website has been capitalized. Once the site is considered operating, future costs to maintain the site will be expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization related to assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income in the period of disposal.

 

 

 

 

 

      The Company accounts for web site costs in accordance with FASB Topic 350 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and FASB Topic 350 “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs”. As a result, costs associated with the web site application and infrastructure development stage are capitalized. Amortization of costs commenced once the web site was ready for its intended use.

 

 

 

 

 

      For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Financial reporting provisions for depreciation and amortization are generally based on the following annual rates and estimated useful lives:

 

 

 

 

Type of Asset

 

Rates

 

Years

Computer and equipment

 

20% – 33%

 

3 – 5 years

Website Development Costs

 

33%

 

3 years

Leasehold improvements (or life of lease where applicable)

 

20% – 33%

 

3 – 5 years

 

Income Taxes

 

      The Company has not generated any taxable income, and, therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided.

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

      Revenues are derived from multiple revenue streams including online advertisements, member benefits and events.

 

 

 

 

 

      All sources of revenue are recorded pursuant to FASB Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, when persuasive evidence of arrangement exists, delivery of services has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. At various times during the year, the Company may exceed the federally insured limits. To mitigate this risk, the Company places its cash deposits only with high credit quality institutions. Management believes the risk of loss is minimal. At December 31, 2013 the Company did not have any uninsured cash deposits.

 

 

 

Impairment of
Long-lived Assets

 

      The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB Topic 360, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are determined based on quoted market value, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. During 2014 the Company did not recognize an impairment charge.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

      The Company has assessed all newly issued accounting pronouncements released during the year ended September 30, 2014, and have found none of them to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

 

 

Foreign Currencies

 

      Functional and presentation currency: The individual financial statements of each entity in the consolidated group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (USD), which is also the Company’s functional currency.

 

 

 

 

 

      Foreign currency transactions: In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the consolidated group’s net investment in foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the consolidated group’s net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in either the functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are initially taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity until the disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognized in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are recognized in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Company’s net investment in foreign operation, regardless of the currency of the monetary item, are recognized in profit or loss in the Company’s financial statements or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognized directly in equity.

 

 

 

 

 

      Foreign operations: The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (USD) of the consolidated financial statements are translated into USD as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

-       Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

 

 

-       Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates for the year, which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and

 

 

-       All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. Going Concern

 

      The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

 

 

 

 

      As laid out in the company’s strategy, the company is investing heavily in technology, organization, international roll-out and market share growth in order to become the world’s leading exclusive social network. The company is in the early stages of its development and as a result, historically, the company has had operating losses, and negative cash flows from operations. The company and its subsidiaries have seen significant growth in revenue in every year of its existence and a steady improvement in net result. However, the company will seek to raise additional capital in order to further accelerate its growth. The successful completion of this may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions, changes in the competitive landscape and failure to reach certain milestones.

 

 

 

 

 

      To address its financing requirements, the company will seek financing through debt and/or equity financings, asset sales, and rights offerings to new and existing shareholders. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Management expects that it will be able to acquire sufficient capital, both from its operating cash flow and from financing activities, to remain fully operational in the foreseeable future.

12.Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

      The Company has adopted FASB Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the number of shares of common stock outstanding by the end of the year. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. However, shares associated with convertible debt, stock options and stock warrants are not included because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive (i.e. reduce the net loss per common share). There were no anti-dilutive instruments.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Cash and Equivalents, Receivables, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable, Accrued and Other Current Liabilities

 

 

 

 

 

The carrying amounts of these items approximated fair value.

 

 

 

 

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

 

 

 

 

 

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

 

 

 

 

The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10-35 to our assets and liabilities are described below:

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, ELEQT and certain adjustments which the Company believes are reasonable to give effect to the HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, and ELEQT acquisitions. These adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions, and therefore the actual adjustments will likely differ from the pro forma adjustments. The Pro Forma Financial Statements included herein were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the business combination. As discussed above, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary at this time. However, the Company believes that the preliminary purchase price allocation and other related assumptions utilized in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements provide a reasonable basis for presenting the pro forma effects of the HT Skills, Member Digital, GroupCard, and ELEQT acquisitions.

The adjustments made in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements are as follows:

(A) Elimination of HT Skills Stockholder Equity

(B) Acquisition Funding

F-124

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Cont.)

The HT Skills acquisition was funded through the issuance of 221,985 shares of common stock valued at $10,655,280. As a result, the Company’s initial value of goodwill is approximately $10,298,214.

The Member Digital acquisition was funded through the issuance of 20,833 shares of common stock valued at $1,000,000. As a result, the Company’s initial value of goodwill is approximately $897,792 before the adjustment for the valuation of intangibles.

The GroupCard acquisition was funded through the issuance of 46,875 shares of common stock valued at $2,250,000. As a result, the Company’s initial value of goodwill is approximately $3,155,326 before the adjustment for the valuation of intangibles.

The ELEQT acquisition was funded through the issuance of 516,667 shares of common stock valued at $25,420,000. As a result, the Company’s initial value of goodwill is approximately $24,903,861 before the adjustment for the valuation of intangibles.

(C) Estimate of Acquired Intangible Assets

The Company’s initial value of the acquired intangible assets of ELEQT is $1,300,000 based on comparable intangible assets. This results in an initial pro forma adjustment of $773,821 to intangible assets offset by goodwill.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Charter and Bylaws

Our articles of incorporation limit the liability of our directors to us and our stockholders to the fullest extent Nevada law permits. Specifically, no director will be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of the director’s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

      for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

      for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

      for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the NGCL; and

      for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

This provision could have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders. Our bylaws provide indemnification to our officers and directors and other specified persons with respect to their conduct in various capacities.

Nevada Law

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a Nevada corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

II-1

Section 78.7502 further provides a Nevada corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that discretionary indemnification under Section 78.7502 unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 2 of section 78.751, may be the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made by:

      By the stockholders;

      By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors —who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;

      If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

      If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

A company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or an agreement made by a company may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to NRS Section 78.751 does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to section 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2 of section 78.751, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action; and continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Other

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In addition to the common stock, Mr. Reinders and Mr. Freijsen received 23,439 three year warrants to purchase our common stock with an exercise price of $15.00. The issuances were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the fact that these issuances did not involve a public offering.

On May 29, 2015, we issued an aggregate of 82,932 shares of common stock as follows: (i) 69,599 shares of common stock were issued to various persons for indebtedness conversions and for services provided to us, and (ii) 13,333 shares of common stock were issued for approximately $100,000 in cash. The issuances were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the fact these shareholders were either accredited or sophisticated investors and familiar with our operations.

On July 31, 2015, we entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Increasive Ventures BV, or Increasive, pursuant to which Increasive agreed to loan us $1,250,000, representing principal of $1,000,000 and an original issue discount of $250,000. The loan was originally payable to us in two tranches, $500,000 of which was paid on July 31, 2015 and $500,000 of which was payable within five business days of certain conditions being met, including discussions between us and Increasive regarding business strategies. The parties subsequently agreed that the second tranche will be payable in two installments, including $300,000 payable on September 1, 2015 and $200,000 after certain conditions are met. The principal amount of the loan accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable in full on December 31, 2015. Prior to the maturity date, Increasive may convert the unpaid amount under the loan into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $4.80 per share. If we fail to repay the loan by the maturity date, Increasive may redeem the loan at a redemption price equal to 135% of the principal amount then outstanding. At the option of Increasive, any such redemption can be made either in cash or in restricted shares of our common stock, such shares valued at 50% of the closing price of our shares on the maturity date. Increasive has the right to purchase up to $500,000 of the securities offered in this offering on the same terms as other investors. In addition, we issued to Increasive a five-year warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.80 per share. Ad Prins, one of our directors, is the managing partner of Increasive. The issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the fact that Increasive is an accredited and sophisticated investor and familiar with our operations.

On August 19, 2015, in connection with the amendment of certain promissory notes previously issued to Magna Equities I, LLC, or Magna, we issued Magna a 5-year warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the fact that Magna is an accredited and sophisticated investor and familiar with our operations.

On September 3, 2015, in connection with the amendment of certain promissory notes previously issued to Greentree Financial Group, Inc., or Greentree, and Williams Holdings Corp., or Williams, we issued to each of Greentree and Williams a five-year warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. In addition, in connection with the amendment of certain promissory notes previously issued to LG Capital Funding, LLC, or LG, we issued to LG a five-year warrant to purchase 1,400 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. These issuances were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the fact that these lenders were either accredited or sophisticated investors and familiar with our operations.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(a) Exhibits. The list of exhibits following the signature page of this registration statement is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial Statements. See page F-1 for an index to the financial statements included in the registration statement.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)    If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(A)  Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B)  Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such

II-7

securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)   Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(7)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)   For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-8
