National Health Partners, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

 

Note 1.  Description of Business

 

National Health Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on March 10, 1989 as “Spectrum Vision Systems of Indiana, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Indiana.  The Company changed its name to “National Health Partners, Inc.” on March 13, 2001.

 

The Company sells membership programs that encompass all aspects of healthcare, including physicians, hospitals, ancillary services, dentists, prescription drugs and vision care through a national healthcare savings network called “CARExpress.”  The Company derives almost all of its revenue from the monthly membership fees it receives from its members.  It markets its programs through a direct sales force, brokers and agents, unions and associations, chambers of commerce, and a variety of other organizations.  The Company typically pays these organizations commissions on the sale price of the membership programs.  These organizations typically offer and sell the Company’s membership programs on a part-time basis and may engage in other related or unrelated business activities, including selling the products or services of the Company’s competitors.  The Company’s agreements with these organizations are generally for a term of one year and renew automatically for additional one-year terms unless written notice of termination is delivered by either party to the other at least 30 days prior to the then-current term.

 

The Company contracts with preferred provider organizations and other provider networks for access to the discounted rates they have negotiated with their healthcare providers.  The principal suppliers of the healthcare providers that comprise CARExpress are CareMark, Aetna, Optum, Outlook Vision, Integrated Health, Three Rivers and HealthFi.  The Company selects and utilizes only those provider networks that it believes can deliver adequate savings to its members while providing adequate support for its membership programs with the healthcare providers.  It typically pays a per member per month fee for use of the provider networks that is determined in part based on the number of providers participating in the network, the number of members accessing the network, and the particular products or services offered by the providers.  The Company’s agreements with the provider networks are generally for a term of between one and two years, may be terminated by either party on between 45 and 180 days’ prior written notice, and renew automatically for additional terms unless so terminated.  Most of these agreements are non-exclusive and contain confidentiality provisions.

 

Note 2.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Note 2.  Basis of Presentation (Continued)

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent quarter or full fiscal year.

 

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The financial statements include the balances of National Health Partners, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain amounts in the financial statements for 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.  These reclassifications did not result in any change to the previously reported total assets, net loss or stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has historically incurred significant losses, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 as updated in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, have not changed materially.

Note 3.  Stock Compensation Expense

 

The Company records employee stock-based compensation using the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified prospective transition method, and records non-employee stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”).  In accordance therewith, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $204,140 and $127,113 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $568,187 and $545,788 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Note 4.  Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the applicable period, and is calculated by dividing the reported net loss for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.  The Company calculates diluted loss per share by dividing the reported net loss for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period as adjusted to give effect to the exercise of all potentially dilutive options and warrants outstanding at the end of the period.  An aggregate of 23,140,342 and 16,190,809 shares of common stock underlying options and warrants that were outstanding on September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.  As a result, basic loss per share was equal to diluted loss per share for each period.

Note 6.   Deposits

 

Deposits consist of cash reserves held by merchant processors that the Company uses to process credit card transactions and the security deposit held by the lessor of the Company’s office space.  Each agreement that the Company has entered into with merchant processors contains a standard provision that gives the merchant processors the right to withhold funds from the proceeds generated by the Company through the sale of its membership programs through credit card transactions.  The amount of the reserves may be increased or decreased by each merchant processor at any time based on the perceived risk exposure of the merchant processor.  The merchant processors are required to return the amount of funds that they withhold from the proceeds within no less than six months and no more than nine months of the date such funds were originally withheld.  As a result, the Company expects to receive all such funds within six to nine months of the date such funds were originally withheld by the merchant processors.

 

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had a total of $122,161 in deposits.  Of this amount, $75,000 was being held by PowerPay Payment Systems, Inc., $27,459 was being held by PayTran Payment Systems, $19,000 was being held by the lessor of the Company’s office space and the remainder was being held by other entities.

Note 11.  Common Stock and Warrants

 

The Company’s authorized capital consisted of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, of which 50,679,356 and 34,849,106 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 14,220,342 and 8,855,809 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding on September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of warrants issued for services on the date of grant by using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  Under this model, the Company used the following weighted-average assumptions to determine the fair value of the warrants that have been issued for services: a dividend yield of zero percent, an expected volatility of 282%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.5% and a remaining contractual term of two years.  The Company follows EITF 96-18 to recognize the fair value of warrants granted.  Under EITF 96-18, the fair value of the warrants should be recognized as the services are rendered.  The Company is recognizing the cost of services evenly over the term of the agreements since the services are being rendered on an ongoing basis during the term of the agreements.

Overview

 

We are a national healthcare membership organization that was formed to address the need for affordable healthcare nationwide.  We create, market and sell membership programs to predominantly underserved markets in the healthcare industry through a national healthcare savings network called CARExpressTM.  CARExpressTM is a network of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers comprised of over 1,000,000 healthcare providers that render their services and products to CARExpressTM members at discounted prices.  CARExpressTM enables people to engage in point-of-service transactions directly with these healthcare providers and pay discounted prices to the providers.

 

Our membership programs offer savings on healthcare services to persons who are uninsured or underinsured by providing them with access to the same PPOs that are utilized by employers that self-fund at least a portion of their employees’ healthcare costs.  Our membership programs are also used to supplement benefit plans and fill in the gaps created by the need to reduce health benefits to keep the costs of health insurance reasonable.  We sell our membership programs directly through our sales force and indirectly through brokers and agents, unions and associations, small businesses and other organizations.

 

We are actively engaged in marketing our membership programs to the public.  Our primary objective is to generate increased sales of our membership programs while expanding our position as a provider of unique healthcare membership service programs.  The target market for our membership programs is comprised of individuals who have either limited health benefits or no health benefits.  Our share of this market is currently less than one percent and has been less than one percent since our inception.  Since we are not currently large enough to pursue and support the entire market, we intend to continue to pursue specific opportunities that we identify in this market through our various marketing and distribution channels.  Through product design, competitive membership pricing, and a variety of marketing and distribution partners, we are pursuing opportunities in the healthcare market that insurance companies have not addressed.

Operational Metrics

 

Our revenue consists almost exclusively of recurring monthly membership fees that we receive from members of our membership programs.  Our members pay us membership fees each month for the duration of their membership.  The average membership fee per member per month that we receive for our CARExpressTM health discount programs is approximately $35.  Approximately 95% of the CARExpressTM health discount programs that we have sold to our current members consist of our Comprehensive Care Program which is currently sold at a monthly retail price of $39.95.  The remaining CARExpressTM health discount programs that we have sold to our current members consist of a mix of our less expensive programs.  We do not have similar data available for our CARExpressTM Plus membership programs as we have sold only a limited number of these programs since first offering them to the public in 2007.

 

We receive each member’s initial monthly payment and billing information at the beginning of the first monthly membership period.  Monthly payments for subsequent periods are received at the beginning of the applicable period.  The monthly membership fees that we receive are recognized as revenue evenly over the applicable monthly membership period.  As a result, there is a delay of four weeks between the date we receive a monthly membership fee and the date we recognize the entire fee as revenue.

 

A key metric that we use to evaluate our success is our member retention rates.  Member retention rates represent the percentage of new members that we acquire that we are able to retain for a specified period of time.  Since we incur a large portion of our costs up front and receive recurring membership fees throughout the term of the membership, the longer we are able to retain the members we acquire, the greater the revenue potential of the membership programs that we sell.  We believe that the key to obtaining a high member retention rate is to target our marketing campaigns towards those individuals and organizations that are most in need of our programs, most capable of paying for our programs, and most loyal to us and our programs.  Member retention rates can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:

 

·

 

the type of membership programs being sold;

 

 

 

·

 

the marketing campaign being used to sell our membership programs;

 

 

 

·

 

the financial condition and loyalty of our members;

 

 

 

·

 

the distribution channel selling our membership programs; and

 

 

 

·

 

the type and amount of compensation being paid to our marketing and distribution partners to sell our membership programs.

 

We have obtained valuable information regarding member demographics through the marketing and advertising campaigns that we have conducted and are focusing our marketing and advertising campaigns on members and member groups that we have identified as being most suitable for our membership programs.  As a result, we expect our retention rates to continue to improve over the next 12 months as we pursue these opportunities through our various marketing and distribution channels.

 Financial Results and Outlook

 

Our strategy is to continue to expand our position as a provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs.  We have implemented several strategic growth initiatives during the past 12 months through which we achieved new contracts and strategic partnerships with a number of organizations, the most profound of which involved a shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and “affinity groups.”  An “affinity group” is a group of people who share interests, issues, and a common bond or background, and offer support for each other.  Examples of the types of affinity groups that we are working with include unions, associations, chambers of commerce and small business networks.  These organizations typically have a large number of members and thus, each one provides us with the opportunity to obtain a large number of sales.  In addition, it is far less costly for us to sell our CARExpressTM programs through these organizations than it is for us to engage in expensive, nation-wide marketing and advertising campaigns through marketing companies, and the members that we obtain through these sources tend to remain members for a much longer period of time.

 

We experienced a decrease in revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding periods in 2007 as a result of the shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and affinity groups.  However, the shift in our sales strategy, coupled with other cost-cutting initiatives that we implemented over the past few quarters in response to deteriorating economic conditions, have resulted in substantially lower direct costs and lower operating expenses.  As a result, our gross profit and gross profit margins for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 were substantially higher than our gross profit and gross profit margins for the corresponding periods in 2007.  Similarly, our net losses and net losses per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 were substantially lower than our net losses and net losses per share for the corresponding periods in 2007.  The shift in our sales strategy and the implementation of cost-cutting initiatives also resulted in a substantial decrease in net cash used by operating activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007.

 

We generated revenue of $528,301 and $2,232,494 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to revenue of $1,026,477 and $3,250,182 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively.  We achieved a gross profit of $357,420 and gross profit percentage of 68% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to a gross profit of $213,830 and gross profit margin of 21% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007.  We generated a gross profit of $1,360,204 and gross profit percentage of 61% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to a gross profit of $1,212,579 and gross profit margin of 37% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.  We achieved a net loss of $(609,775), or $(0.01) per share, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $(983,417), or $(0.03) per share, for the corresponding period in 2007.  We achieved a net loss of $(1,847,492), or $(0.04) per share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $(2,012,269), or $(0.06) per share, for the corresponding period in 2007.  Net cash used by operating activities decreased to $(196,506) and $(984,716) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 from $(546,190) and $(1,645,619) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007.

Table of Contents

 

We expect to generate future revenue and members primarily through sales of our CARExpressTM health discount programs and our CARExpressTM Plus membership programs to employees and members of affinity groups through our direct sales force, our marketing and distribution partners, and various marketing and advertising campaigns.  We have entered into agreements with several affinity groups through which we are generating sales of our CARExpressTM membership programs and are currently in discussions with several other organizations regarding the sale of our CARExpressTM membership programs.  We intend to finance each of these projects through cash on hand, internally generated cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities.  We will use any additional investments that we receive to accelerate the expansion of each of our advertising campaigns and programs and increase sales of our membership programs.

 

We expect the number of CARExpressTM members generated each month to increase for the foreseeable future.  We also expect our retention rates to improve over the next 12 months as we obtain additional information regarding member demographics and target our marketing and advertising campaigns towards prospective members and member groups that are most suitable for our membership programs.  As a result, we expect to begin generating positive cash flows from operating activities and a net profit from operations during 2009 as the recurring membership fees from our increasing membership base overtake the costs associated with obtaining the new members we are generating.  We can provide no assurance, however, that our membership base will increase as projected, that our member retention rates will improve over the next 12 months or that we will begin generating positive cash flows from operating activities or a net profit from operations during 2009.

Revenue consists almost exclusively of the monthly membership fees that we receive from members of our membership programs.  Revenue decreased $498,176 to $528,301 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $1,026,477 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $498,176 resulted primarily from a decrease in sales of our membership programs through marketing companies in connection with the shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and affinity groups.  Approximately 20% of the revenue that we generated during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was derived from sales of our membership programs to first-time members, compared to approximately 65% during the corresponding period in 2007.  The remainder of the revenue that we generated during these periods was derived from existing members.  We expect revenue to increase over the next 12 months as a result of increased sales of our membership programs to employees and members of affinity groups through our direct sales force, our marketing and distribution partners and our various marketing and advertising campaigns.

 

Direct Costs

 

Direct costs consist of sales commissions that we pay to our marketing and distribution partners and fees that we pay to our PPOs and provider networks for access to their networks.  Direct costs decreased $641,766 to $170,881 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from $812,647 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $641,766 was due to decreases of $557,901 for sales commissions and $83,865 for PPO and network provider costs resulting from the decrease in sales of our membership programs.  We expect cost of sales to increase over the next 12 months as increased sales of our membership programs result in higher overall sales commission expenses and provider networks costs.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist of advertising expenses, marketing expenses, salaries and other compensation paid to employees selling and marketing our membership programs, rent expense allocated to our selling and marketing activities, depreciation and amortization expense allocated to our selling and marketing activities, and all other selling and marketing expenses incurred by us.  Selling and marketing expenses decreased $12,424 to $47,203 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from $59,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $12,424 was due primarily to decreases of $31,259 for marketing programs and $8,946 for website amortization, partially offset by an increase of $27,922 for salaries and other compensation paid to employees selling and marketing our membership programs.  We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase during the next 12 months as we grow our direct sales force and engage in larger and more frequent marketing and advertising campaigns and activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.

 

Employee Compensation Expense.  Employee compensation expense consists of all salaries and other cash compensation, equity-based compensation, 401(k) contributions and other compensation that we pay to our employees and the related payroll taxes that are not associated with our selling and marketing activities.  Employee compensation expense increased $51,662 to $542,594 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from $490,932 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase of $51,662 was due primarily to increases of $13,552 for restricted stock expense and $46,827 for stock option expense, partially offset by decreases in other employee compensation expenses.  We expect employee compensation expense to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to retain additional executive management personnel and other employees in connection with the growth of our business.

 

Professional Fees.  Professional fees consist of fees paid to our independent accountants, lawyers, technology consultants and other professionals and consultants.  Professional fees increased $62,898 to $183,608 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $120,710 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase of $62,898 was due primarily to an increase of $78,316 for the amount of expense recognized in connection with equity-based compensation paid to service providers and consultants for various services, partially offset by a decrease of $15,317 for legal fees and consulting fees as well as decreases in other professional fees.  We expect professional fees to increase over the next 12 months as we incur additional legal, accounting and technology fees in connection with the general expansion of our business and operations.

 

Other General and Administrative Expenses.  Other general and administrative expenses consist of office supplies expense, computer hardware and system costs, bank service charges, filing fees and dues, non-employee customer service representative expense, rent expense, health insurance and other related benefit costs, financial printer costs, transfer agent costs, the costs of investor relations campaigns and activities, postage and delivery expenses, severance expenses, general business expenses and miscellaneous general and administrative expenses that are not associated with our selling and marketing activities.  Other general and administrative expenses decreased $332,219 to $194,708 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $526,927 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $332,219 resulted primarily from decreases of $184,672 for bank service charges associated with new and recurring member transactions, $59,535 for office supplies expense, $32,312 for postage and delivery costs, $30,563 for printing and production costs, $23,198 for business travel and entertainment costs, and $11,446 for computer and web repair and maintenance costs, partially offset by increases in other miscellaneous general and administrative expenses.  We expect other general and administrative expenses to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to incur expenses for bank service charges, financial printer services, investor relations campaigns and activities, transfer agent fees, health insurance, rent, non-employee customer service representatives, supplies, computer hardware and systems, and other miscellaneous items associated with the general operation and growth of our business.

Net Loss

 

Our net loss decreased $373,642 to $609,775 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from $983,417 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $373,642 was primarily due to decreases of $641,766 for direct costs incurred in connection with the sale of our membership programs and $332,219 for other general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $498,176 in revenue and increases of $62,898 for professional fees and $51,662 for employee compensation expense.  We expect to begin generating a net profit from operations during 2009 as the recurring membership fees from our increasing membership base overtake the costs associated with obtaining and retaining members.

 

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

 

Revenue

 

Revenue decreased $1,017,688 to $2,232,494 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $3,250,182 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $1,017,688 resulted primarily from a decrease in sales of our CARExpressTM membership programs through marketing companies in connection with the shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and affinity groups.  Approximately 35% of the revenue that we generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was derived from sales of our membership programs to first-time members, compared to approximately 80% during the corresponding period in 2007.  The remainder of the revenue that we generated during these periods was derived from existing members.

 

Direct Costs

 

Direct costs decreased $1,165,313 to $872,290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $2,037,603 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $1,165,313 was due to decreases of $1,119,118 for sales commissions and $46,195 for PPO and network provider costs.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses increased $11,301 to $182,178 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $170,877 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase of $11,301 was due primarily to an increase of $64,475 for salaries and other compensation paid to employees selling and marketing our membership programs, partially offset by decreases of $27,057 for marketing and advertising programs and $26,477 for depreciation and amortization expense allocated to our selling and marketing activities.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.

Employee Compensation Expense.  Employee compensation expense increased $74,939 to $1,617,649 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $1,542,710 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase of $74,939 was due primarily to an increase of $141,557 for stock option expense as well as increases in other employee compensation expenses, partially offset by decreases of $60,015 for restricted stock expense and $18,539 for salaries paid.

 

Professional Fees.  Professional fees increased $140,956 to $560,440 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $419,484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase of $140,956 was due primarily to increases of $135,580 for the amount of expense recognized in connection with equity-based compensation paid to service providers and consultants for various services.

 

Other General and Administrative Expenses.  Other general and administrative expenses decreased $288,755 to $818,390 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $1,107,145 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $288,755 resulted primarily from decreases of $118,186 for bank service charges associated with new and recurring member transactions, $132,365 for office supplies expense, $63,952 for postage and delivery costs, and $21,619 for corporate filing fees, partially offset by increases of $17,350 for computer and web repair and maintenance costs, $16,153 for various types of insurance, $10,171 for dues and subscriptions and increases in other miscellaneous general and administrative expenses.  We expect other general and administrative expenses to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to incur expenses for bank service charges, financial printer services, investor relations campaigns and activities, transfer agent fees, health insurance, rent, non-employee customer service representatives, supplies, computer hardware and systems, and other miscellaneous items associated with the general operation and growth of our business.

 

Loss on the Extinguishment of Debt

 

Loss on the extinguishment of debt consists of the loss that we recognized in connection with our issuance of 240,000 shares of our common stock to a note holder in February 2008 in partial consideration for the extinguishment of debt.  We recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $30,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 in connection with the issuance of these shares.  We did not recognize any such loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  We do not expect to recognize any additional gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt in the foreseeable future.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss decreased $164,777 to $1,847,492 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $2,012,269 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease of $164,777 was primarily due to decreases of $1,165,313 for direct costs incurred in connection with the sale of our membership programs and $288,755 in other general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $1,017,688 in revenue and increases of $140,956 for professional fees, $74,939 for employee compensation expense and $30,000 for the loss on the extinguishment of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities and the use of short-term debt.  As of October 28, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $473,500.

 

Net cash used by operating activities was $984,716 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1,645,619 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The $660,903 decrease in cash used by operating activities was due primarily to decreases of $164,777 for net loss, $405,085 for deposits, $222,277 for deferred revenue and $30,919 for accounts receivable, and increases of $228,063 for equity-based compensation expense and $30,000 for loss on the extinguishment of debt.  This was partially offset by decreases of $397,868 for accounts payable and accrued expenses and $28,799 for depreciation expense.

 

We did not have any cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  Net cash used by investing activities was $55,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The $55,000 decrease in cash used by investing activities was due to a decrease in assets held for resale.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,485,055 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $545,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The $939,855 increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to increases of $527,415 for proceeds from the exercise of warrants, $382,440 for proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants and $50,000 for proceeds from the issuance of debt, partially offset by an increase of $20,000 for payments on debt.

 

Our primary sources of capital over the past 12 months are set forth below.

 

In November 2007, we completed a private offering of 500,000 shares of our common stock, Class A warrants exercisable into 500,000 shares of our common stock and Class B warrants exercisable into 500,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $150,000.  These securities were sold in units comprised of one share of our common stock, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant.  The units were sold at a purchase price of $0.30 per unit.  We agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by December 15, 2007 to register all of the shares of our common stock issued in the offering and all of the shares of our common stock underlying the Class A warrants and Class B warrants issued in the offering.  The Class A warrants were initially exercisable into one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, were exercisable during a period beginning on the date the registration statement covering the public resale of the shares underlying the warrants was declared effective by the SEC and ending on the later of January 31, 2008 or the date that was 30 calendar days after the effective date of the registration statement, and expired at the end of the exercise period.  The Class B warrants are initially exercisable into one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, are exercisable during a period beginning on the date the registration statement covering the public resale of the shares underlying the warrants was declared effective by the SEC and ending on December 31, 2008, and expire at the end of the exercise period.

In April 2008, we sold 500,000 shares of common stock and one Class A warrant exercisable into 500,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor for aggregate gross proceeds of $75,000. The Class A warrant had an exercise price of $0.12 per share, was exercisable for a period commencing on the date of grant and ending on April 18, 2008, and expired at the end of the exercise period.

 

In June 2008, we completed a private offering of 675,000 shares of our common stock, Class A warrants exercisable into 675,000 shares of our common stock and Class B warrants exercisable into 675,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $108,000.  These securities were sold in units comprised of one share of our common stock, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant at a purchase price of $0.16 per unit.  We agreed to provide each investor with an opportunity to include all shares of common stock and all shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of the warrants in any registration statement that we file with the SEC for the purposes of a public offering of our securities (excluding registration statements on Forms S-4 or S-8).  The Class A warrants were initially exercisable into one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, were exercisable during a period of 90 days beginning on the date of grant, and expired at the end of the exercise period.  The Class B warrants are initially exercisable into one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, are exercisable during a period beginning on the date of grant and ending on December 31, 2008, and expire at the end of the exercise period.

 

In July 2008, we sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock and Class A warrants exercisable into 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor for aggregate cash consideration of $750,000.  These securities were sold in units comprised of one share of our common stock, and one Class A warrant at a purchase price of $0.25 per unit.  The Class A warrants are initially exercisable into one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, are exercisable during a period beginning on the date of grant and ending on December 31, 2009, and expire at the end of the exercise period.

 

During the period beginning January 1, 2007 and ending September 30, 2008, we issued 3,603,250 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants at exercise prices ranging between $0.12 and $0.40 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $667,415.

 

To date, our capital needs have been met primarily through sales of our equity and debt securities and proceeds received upon the exercise of warrants held by our security holders.   We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.  We have used the proceeds from the exercise of warrants and our private offerings of securities to pay virtually all of the costs and expenses we have incurred.  These costs and expenses were comprised of operating expenses, which consisted of the employee compensation expenses, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses discussed above, and the costs of sales discussed above to the extent such costs of sales exceeded our revenue.

Table of Contents

 

We believe that our current cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our current operations for the next 12 months.  We will need to obtain additional cash resources within the next 12 months to enable us to pay our ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred and finance the growth of our business.  We intend to obtain these funds through internally generated cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities.  The sale of equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our shareholders.  The issuance of debt would result in increased expenses and could subject us to covenants that may have the effect of restricting our operations.  We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing and we can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.  If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan or pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2008, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.  As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures.

 

As of September 30, 2008, we carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i)  recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item  2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we sold the following securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”):

 

In July 2008, we sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock and Class A warrants exercisable into 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor for aggregate gross proceeds of $750,000.  These securities were sold in units comprised of one share of our common stock and one Class A warrant at a purchase price of $0.25 per unit.  The Class A warrants are initially exercisable into one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, are exercisable during a period beginning on the date of grant and ending on December 31, 2009, and expire at the end of the exercise period.  We paid finder fees consisting of cash consideration of $56,250 and 225,000 units identical to the units sold in the offering.  These securities were issued to an accredited investor in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act directly by us without engaging in any advertising or general solicitation of any kind.

 

In July 2008, we sold a Class A warrant exercisable into 1,000,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor for aggregate gross proceeds of $100.  The Class A warrant has an exercise price of $0.20 per share, is exercisable until December 31, 2008, and expires at the end of the exercise period.  These securities were issued to an accredited investor in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act directly by us without engaging in any advertising or general solicitation of any kind and without payment of underwriting discounts or commissions to any person.
