NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business
Virtual Piggy, Inc. (“the Company”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.   Virtual Piggy is a technology company that delivers an online e-commerce solution for the family. Its system allows parents and their children to manage, allocate funds and track their expenditures, savings and charitable giving online. Its system is designed to allow the child to transact online without a credit card by gaining the parent’s permission ahead of time and allowing the parent to set up the rules of use and authorized spending limits.
 
The Virtual Piggy product enables online businesses to interact and transact with the “Under 18” market in a manner consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other similar international children’s privacy laws.  Virtual Piggy was launched in the US in 2012 and was launched in the European market in 2013.

The Company has secured merchant agreements with over 80 merchants in the US to deploy Virtual Piggy on their websites.  Over 20 of these merchants are using Virtual Piggy live with their e-commerce systems and the Company is in the process of integrating the other signed merchants. The Company is continuing to add merchants. In addition, Virtual Piggy has the capability to offer and deliver digital gift cards.

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 915 for development stage entities.  
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 these estimates.

Comprehensive Income
The Company follows FASB ASC 220 in reporting comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.  Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value, because of their short maturity.

Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash
The Company may have deposits with a financial institution which at times exceed Federal Depository Insurance coverage of $250,000.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents.


NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.  Expenditures for new equipment and major expenditures for existing equipment are capitalized and depreciation using the straight line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives.  All other ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company’s depreciation and amortization policies on property and equipment are as follows:
 
 
Useful life
 (in years)
   
Computer equipment 
3 - 5
Furniture and fixtures 7
 
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment.

The Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company determined that no impairment was required after going through the impairment testing to the operating long-lived assets (property and equipment and patents and trademarks).

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), the Company will recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company will generally recognize revenue at the time of the sale of the associated product.
 
 
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Tax years from 2008 through 2012 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

Loss Per Share
The Company follows FASB ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Because the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share were the same.

Start-up Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 720, start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

Research and  Development Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred.  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. In accordance with the amendments in this Update, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Subtopic 350-30. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2013 and their adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.


NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
As of March 31, 2013, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified in order for them to be in conformity with the 2013 presentation.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations during the development stage.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan.  The Company has begun to pay salaries to management and has utilized offshore programmers on a work for hire basis to assist in developing the demonstration model. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months.  The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations.  In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.  The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company may be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s current monetization model is to derive a percentage of all revenues generated by online merchants using the Virtual Piggy service. Merchants are billed at the end of each month for all transactions that have been processed by the Company on their behalf in the prior month.  As the merchant base and consumer base grows, and as the trend to higher online spending levels continues, the Company expects to generate additional revenue to support operations.

If sufficient revenues are not generated to sustain operations or additional funding cannot be obtained in the short term, the Company will need to reduce monthly expenditures to a level that will enable the Company to continue until such funds can be obtained.  The Company raised $900,000, net of stock issuance costs of $60,783 through a private placement of its equity securities from January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013.  

The Company is in the development stage at March 31, 2013.  Successful completion of the Company’s development program, and the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.  The Company is currently contemplating a $5 million private placement offering.  However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investment or achieve an adequate sales level.
 

NOTE 3 – PATENTS

The Company continues to apply for patents.  Accordingly, costs associated with the registration of these patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (20 years).  At March 31, 2013 and 2012, unamortized capitalized patent costs were $467,919 and $154,593.  Amortization expense for patents was $5,265 and $1,054 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

In September 2011, the Company commenced a private placement of up to 10 units at a price of $50,000 per unit to accredited investors.  One unit consisted of a demand note payable in the amount of $50,000 due November 12, 2012, warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share with a term expiring November 12, 2012, and 15,000 shares of common stock.  In December 2011, the Company completed the private placement and raised $500,000.  The warrants were valued at $20,930, fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 39.8% to 62.8%, risk free interest rate of .1% and expected option life of 1.2 years.  The shares of common stock were valued at $82,655 or $.45 to $.70 per share, fair value.  Both the warrant value and the shares of common stock were treated as a discount to the value of the note payable in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30-25, Recognition and are being accreted over the term of the note payable for financial statement purposes.  During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, $65,560 and $38,035 of interest was accreted on the notes payable.  As of December 31, 2011, $150,000 of the $500,000 was repaid.

On February 8, 2012, February 27, 2012, and April 10, 2012, $100,000, $50,000, and $25,000 respectively, of the notes payable were repaid.  On April 26, 2012 , the remaining balance of the notes payable and accrued interest of $25,000 was converted into 571,428 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 285,714 shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

As of January 1, 2013, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2013 related to unrecognized tax benefits.  There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2013.  Tax years from 2008 through 2012 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, since management has determined that the realization of the net tax deferred asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

NOTE 6 – LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

Overview

Virtual Piggy, Inc. (“the Company”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 11, 2008.   Virtual Piggy is a technology company that delivers an online ecommerce solution for the family. Its system allows parents and their children to manage, allocate funds and track their expenditures, savings and charitable giving online. Its system is designed to allow the child to transact online without a credit card by gaining the parent’s permission ahead of time and allowing the parent to set up the rules of use. In addition to our main focus, our company is also working on technology that will make the overall online experience safer for U18s.
 
 The Virtual Piggy product enables online businesses to interact and transact with the “Under 18” market in a manner consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other similar international children’s privacy laws.  Virtual Piggy was launched in the US in 2012 and was launched in the European market in 2013.


The Company has secured merchant agreements with 103 merchants, 19 partners and 17 gift card providers in the US and Europe to deploy Virtual Piggy on their websites.  Approximately 23 of these merchants are using Virtual Piggy in live use and the Company is in the process of integrating the other signed merchants. The Company is continuing to add merchants. In addition, we have the capability to deliver digital gift cards to families using Virtual Piggy. The Company has developed its own online store where families can select and purchase gift cards for delivery to other family members.

Strategic Outlook

We believe that the e-commerce market will continue to grow over the long term.  Within the market, we intend to provide services to the online industry to allow them to transact with children in compliance with COPPA and similar international privacy laws.  We believe that this particular opportunity is relatively untapped and expect to be a leading provider of online transactions for children.

Our primary strategic objective over the next 12-24 months is to continue our merchant acquisition and rapidly expand our consumer acquisition program which will generate revenue that we believe will ultimately cover our operating expenses and allow us to become profitable.   We began our user acquisition efforts in March 2013 and currently have over 100,000 users.  Our goal for 2013 is to acquire 1 million system users by year end. We plan to achieve this objective by advertising our product and services to consumers through public relations programs, merchant promotions and affiliate marketing programs.  As our service grows, we intend to hire additional information staff to maintain our product offerings and develop new products to increase our market share.

We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our service.  Since we have limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that we operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, that we have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The following information should be considered together with our financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.

Revenue/Net Loss

We are a development stage company and have not generated significant revenue since our inception.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we generated revenues of $88 and $1,168, respectively.  Our net loss increased $1,138,606 to $2,683,517 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,544,911 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as a result of increased expenses as further described below.

 
Payroll Expenses

Payroll expenses were $1,093,979 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $206,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $887,003.  The increase is attributable to general build-out of our business over the last year, through expanding the sales and marketing force as well as hiring employees for the development and infrastructure aspects of the Company.

Consulting Expenses

Consulting expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $289,744 as compared to $641,849 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $352,105.  The decrease resulted primarily from the settlement of a dispute related to a marketing agreement and stock based compensation related to consulting agreements in 2012, as well as the Company hiring employees rather than using consultants to perform key functions.

Marketing Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, marketing expenses were $287,633, an increase of $86,655 from $200,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  This increase was a result of the continued active marketing plan to generate consumers and merchants.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased $88,538 to $175,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $86,606 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The increased costs have resulted from the Company’s continued efforts to develop its platform, including mobile applications, and integration of merchants into the platform.

Travel Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, travel expenses were $247,479 an increase of $159,711 from $87,768 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The expenses incurred were primarily associated with increased sales and marketing activities, capital raising activities and the opening of the office in the United Kingdom.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased $86,982 to $231,895 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $144,913 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The increase related primarily to legal and accounting fees associated with private placements of our securities and increased costs resulting from the Company becoming an accelerated filer and subject to the related requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $361,220 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $140,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $221,020.   The increase is primarily the result of the expansion of our offices, the addition of our London office, an increase in staff related to support our operations and the general expansion of our business.


Interest Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred no interest expense as compared to $37,106 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Interest expense in 2012 related to interim financing until the private placements could be completed and the Company has not incurred term debt since.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of the date of this report, we had cash on hand of approximately $4,500,000.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2,719,593, as compared to $1,149,486 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1,570,107. The increase resulted primarily from expanded operations including marketing the Virtual Piggy product, hiring additional employees and opening an office in the United Kingdom.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $114,612, as compared to $90,169 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $24,443.  The increase resulted from the purchase of equipment and costs of patents and trademarks.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $839,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1,728,433 from $2,567,650 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had begun raising substantial equity financing through a stock purchase agreement, which did not repeat during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and is the primary reason for the decline in financing activities between the two periods.

As we have not generated any meaningful revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through public and private offerings of debt and equity securities.  We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.  The following sets forth our primary sources of capital during the previous two years:

In December 2011, we commenced a private offering of up to $5,000,000 of Units at a purchase price of $0.80 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of two shares of the Company’s common stock and a two year warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $0.60 per share. During December 2011, we issued and sold an aggregate of 625,000 Units in consideration of gross cash proceeds of $500,000, resulting in the issuance of 1,250,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock.  On January 11, 2012, the Company amended the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 1, 2011, by reducing the price of one unit from $.80 to $.70.  This increased the number of units to be sold from 6,250,000 units to 7,142,858 units.  It also required the Company to issue to one investor an additional 89,286 units, consisting of 178,572 shares common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 89,286 shares of common stock.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued an additional 3,922,356 units and raised $2,717,650, net of stock issuance costs of $28,000.
 
On April 5, 2012, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $3,500,000 consisting of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and two year warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share.  The shares and warrants were sold in units with each unit comprised of two shares and one warrant at a purchase price of $.70 per unit.  In accordance with the terms of the offering documents, the offering amount was increased to $4 million.  From April 5, 2012 to June 30, 2012, the Company sold 6,201,831 units and raised $4,341,282.

On April 10, 2012, a company owned by the Company’s Secretary and his wife exercised 250,000 options which raised proceeds of $10,000.

 
On May 2, 2012 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-U.S. person, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 187,500 units at a purchase price of $0.80 per unit, in consideration of gross proceeds of $150,000.  Each unit consisted of: (i) two shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a term of two years, and (iii) a warrant to purchase one half share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a term of three years.  Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the purchaser also agreed to purchase an additional $850,000 of units by November 1, 2012.  The Company received $1,000,000 as of March 31, 2013 under this agreement.

On July 5, 2012, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $100,000 consisting of up to 125,000 units of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share with a term of two years (“Series A Warrants”) and warrants to purchase up to 62,500 at an exercise price of $1.00 per share with a term of three years (“Series B Warrants”).  The shares and warrants were sold in units with each unit comprised of two shares and one Series A warrant and one Series B warrant at a purchase price of $.80 per unit.  The Company has received gross proceeds of $100,000 under this private placement.

During November and December 2012, the Company entered into private placements for shares of the Company’s common stock.  The shares were sold at a purchase price of $.70 per share.  The Company sold 7,942,858 shares and raised $5,560,000.

In December 2012 and March 2013, the Company began entering into private placements for shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were sold at a purchase price of $.75 per share.  Through March 31, 2013, 1,800,000 shares were sold raising $1,350,000.

We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months.  We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the continued development of our Platform, and execute the business plan.  If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.  The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders.  If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the marketing of Virtual Piggy, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. We raised approximately $14.2 million through sales of common stock and warrants in 2012 and another $900,000 through sales of common stock and warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The Virtual Piggy product was introduced to the marketplace in the third quarter of 2011.   We do not project that significant revenue will be developed until late 2013. While it is impossible to predict the amount of revenues, if any, that we may receive from our Virtual Piggy product, we presently believe, based solely on our internal projections, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our planned business operations if the Virtual Piggy product is marketed effectively and we achieve our goal of 1 million system users by the end of 2013.  There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan to aggressively develop, complete, and market our Virtual Piggy product.  Moreover there can be no assurance that even if our Virtual Piggy product is marketed effectively and we achieve our user acquisition goals, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations.  In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

The foregoing project implementation and projections were prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans for our Virtual Piggy products.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2013, 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, 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in note 1 of the notes to our financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
 
 
Stock-based Compensation

We have adopted the fair value recognition provisions Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 718. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “ Share-Based Payment ” (“SAB 107”) in March, 2005, which provides supplemental FASB ASC 718 application guidance based on the views of the SEC. Under FASB ASC 718, compensation cost recognized includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of  FASB ASC 718.

We have used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the option fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire).

Compensation expense for unvested options granted to non-employees in previous periods is being amortized over the vesting period of the options, or the term of the consulting agreement, whichever is longer.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), we will recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, we will generally recognize revenue from Virtual Piggy  at the time of the sale of the associated product.
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of March 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure 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 March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not a party to any legal proceedings.

RISK FACTORS.
 
Management’s Judgment Could Impact the Amount of Non-Cash Compensation Expense
 
To estimate the fair value of our stock option awards we currently use the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model. The determination of the fair value of equity-based awards on the date of grant using an options pricing model is affected by our then current stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Management is required to make certain judgments for these variables which include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected term of options based on employee exercise behaviors, and the risk-free interest rate. One of the factors used in determining such value is stock volatility.  Because of the limited trading activity of our common stock, we use the stock volatility of four peer companies.  To the extent that we use different peer companies to measure volatility, a different stock volatility factor may result which would cause a different stock valuation and a related increase or decrease in non-cash compensation expense. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments used in estimating key assumptions, in future periods, the stock option expense that we record for future grants may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
 
This is the only change with respect to risk factors as previously disclosed in our 2012 Form 10-K.  Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and in our 2012 Form 10-K, under the caption “Risk Factors”, our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the other information in our 2012 Form 10-K. Readers should carefully review those risks, as well as additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
