ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Nature of Operations

Thwapr, Inc. (“Thwapr” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation which has developed a mobile video sharing platform that solves the problem of sending quality video content to and from mobile devices.  Thwapr’s systems, applications and software allow users and brands to share pictures and video to mobile phone users regardless of device, platform or carrier. Additionally, Thwapr expects to enable users to easily capture and share pictures and videos on their phones with other mobile and desktop users and into social networks. Thwapr plans to derive revenues from banner and video advertising on its mobile and desktop websites and from mobile media messaging fees from brand sponsors. Thwapr also plans to sell premium services to users and brands via subscriptions and other fees.  In December 2009, Thwapr launched a public beta test of its service.  Thwapr expects to launch its service in late 2010 but does not anticipate generating any meaningful revenues until such time that a significant number of users and brands have signed up for and are using the service.  This service will be launched under the name of Thwapr, a trademark it owns.

The technology underlying Thwapr’s product is complex and as such, a significant amount of development expense has gone into the creation of the Thwapr service infrastructure.  To minimize start-up costs, Thwapr uses only consultants for its activities at this time and has no full-time employees and owns no real estate. For its development and other operations, Thwapr employs independent contractors on a part-time and full-time basis. Thwapr expects to convert most of these independent contractors to employees over time as funding becomes available.

Thwapr’s business is subject to several significant risks, any of which could materially adversely affect its business, operating results, financial condition and the actual outcome of matters as to which it makes forward-looking statements.

Recent Events

On March 29, 2010 the Company, then named Seaospa, Inc., entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Thwapr, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Thwapr Delaware”), to acquire all of the stock of Thwapr Delaware.   Thwapr Delaware was incorporated on March 14, 2007 under the name Mobile Video Development, Inc.  As a further condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, the Company undertook a recapitalization whereby each share of the Seaospa’s common stock was exchanged for three shares of the Company’s common stock, with the same rights, privileges, and obligations (the “Stock Split”).  Subsequent to the Stock Split, the authorized capital stock of Seaospa was 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
 
At the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 142,676,508 shares of its common stock and warrants to acquire 12,181,363 shares of its common stock to the Thwapr Stockholders in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Thwapr.  Immediately prior to the Exchange Transaction, the Company had 14,609,754 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, subsequent to the Stock Split described below.  Immediately after the Exchange Transaction, the Company had 157,286,262 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which 141,562,908 cannot be sold or traded (i) until June 9, 2012, if Thwapr has 10,000,000 registered users on such date, or (ii) upon a change of control of Thwapr.  Additionally, of the warrants outstanding, 10,950,003 shares of the underlying securities cannot be sold or traded (i) until June 9, 2012, if Thwapr has 10,000,000 registered users on such date, or (ii) upon a change of control of Thwapr.

As a condition to closing the Exchange Agreement and as more fully described, Mr. Yakov Terner resigned as President, Treasurer, and Director of the Company, and Mr. Yossi Benitah resigned as Secretary and Director of the Company.  Effective March 22, 2010, Messrs. Bruce Goldstein, Maurizio Vecchione, and Barry Hall, the current directors of Thwapr, were appointed to the Company’s board of directors.  At the closing of the Exchange Transaction, Mr. Goldstein was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, Maurizio Vecchione was appointed as Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Hall was appointed Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Secretary. Other key members of the management team include Mr. Eric Hoffert as Integrated Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Duncan Kennedy as Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Leigh Newsome as Vice President of User Experience, each of whom were appointed as of the Closing Date.  Subsequently, both Mr. Vecchione and Mr. Kennedy resigned from their positions.

Development Stage Activities

Since inception the Company has not conducted any revenue producing business operations. All of the operating results and cash flows reported in the accompanying financial statements from March 14, 2007 through September 30, 2010 are considered to be those related to the development stage activities and represent the 'cumulative from inception' amounts required to be reported pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915-205 (formerly Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Development Stage Enterprises”).  The Company is focusing its efforts in two areas during the development stage. First, the Company is devoting substantial time and resources to software development related to the service it intends to provide.  Second, the Company will spend significant time and resources testing the software against a variety of cell phone models, platforms and carriers.

Capital Structure

In July 2009, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to Thwapr, Inc., and to increase its authorized number of shares to 200,000,000 of which 180,000,000 shares were designated common stock and 20,000,000 shares were designated preferred stock.  Concurrently, the Company entered into an Exchange Offer Agreement (“Offering”) with all the stockholders of the Company.  Pursuant to the Offering, stockholders at that time exchanged all of their respective shares of common stock of the Company for shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company at a ratio of one share of Series A preferred stock for each share of common stock.

The shares of Series A preferred Stock would automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at a ratio of nine shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A preferred stock upon the occurrence of either of the following events:
 
(a)
the three year anniversary of the Offering if the Company has obtained at least 10,000,000 active registered users, or

 
(b)
a change of control in the Company.

In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, the Series A preferred stock, on a common stock equivalent basis, shall participate with the Common Stock with respect to any distributions of available funds and assets.  Additionally, the Series A preferred stock shall vote together with the Common Stock and not as a separate class. The Series A preferred stock shall initially vote only on a share for share basis with the Common Stock on any matter, including but not limited to the election of directors, until the Company has filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State amending the Articles of Incorporation to provide that the Board may designate the voting power of the preferred stock, if any, regardless of the equivalent voting ratio to Common Stock .

The Series A preferred stockholders exercise voting rights on an as-converted basis.

Subsequently, the Company began an offering to sell 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.00 per share for an aggregate offering amount of $10,000,000. In November 2009, the Company retroactively re-priced the stock offering to $1.25 per share and, as a result, issued additional shares to investors who had previously purchased Common Stock so that the number of shares they received in connection with the offering was equal to the amount of money invested divided by $1.25, with partial shares rounded up.  The effect of this re-pricing was an increase to the number of shares of common stock sold from 168,500 to 539,200 at the time of the re-pricing.  In addition, for every ten shares of common stock purchased the stockholder received one warrant convertible into one share of common stock for five years at a price of $1.25 per share.  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to compute the loss per share reflects the effect of the re-pricing.

On July 20, 2010, the Company entered into another Exchange Offer Agreement with Thwapr’s five largest stockholders including the founders of the Company.  Pursuant to this agreement Thwapr issued 47,061,636 shares of Series A preferred stock in exchange for 141,184,908 shares of common stock which was retired.  This preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock at a ratio of 3 shares of Common Stock for each share of preferred upon the occurrence of either of the following events:

 
(a)
the two year anniversary of the Offering, or

 
(b)
a change of control in the Company.

Going Concern

The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions.  Management is seeking investors which will allow the Company to pursue the development of its software and business model.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to fully implement its business model.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Additionally, the Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation.  Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.  Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement.  The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

 
·
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
 
·
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date,
 
·
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at September 30, 2010 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

  
 
Level I
   
Level II
   
Level III
 
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 1,050     $ -     $ -  
Derivative liability
  $ -     $ -     $ 53,504  
 
The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s level 3 assets (conversion feature and warrants) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the note conversion feature and the warrants at $53,504 with the following assumptions: expected life of 4.25 years; risk-free interest rate of 2.00%; dividend yield of 0%; and expected volatility of 200%.

Product Development

Product development costs are expensed as incurred.  These costs primarily include the costs associated with the development and testing of video and picture sharing technology.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, product development costs amounted to $5,842,676 and $216,107, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 product development costs were $7,196,369 and $417,715, respectively.  From March 14, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2010, product development costs amounted to $8,299,916

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10.  Under this standard, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company is unable to make the determination that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will be realized.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260.  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. For purposes of this calculations Convertible Preferred Shares are considered as converted.  Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” codified in FASB ASC 740-10.  This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" codified in FASB ASC 740-10, and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities.  The Company is subject to examination for all years it has filed income tax returns.  The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to IRS examination until they are fully utilized and such tax years are closed.  The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes.  The Company’s review of prior year tax positions using the criteria and provisions presented in FIN 48 did not result in a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

At September 30, 2010, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards available for federal tax purposes, which expire from 2027 to 2029.  The amount of net operating losses which may be utilized in future years may be subject to significant annual limitations should an ownership change occur. The Company also has operating loss carryforwards available for California income tax purposes, which expire from through 2029.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, total deferred income tax asset consist principally of net operating loss carryforwards in amounts still to be determined.  For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been recognized in an amount equal to such deferred income tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding its ultimate realization.

At December 31, 2009, the Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the state of California.  For jurisdictions in which tax filings are made, the Company is subject to income tax examination for all fiscal years since inception.  Our review of prior year tax positions using the criteria and provisions presented by the FASB did not result in a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES DUE TO STOCKHOLDER

On April 8, April 15 and April 20, 2010, the Company issued three separate notes of $20,000 to a stockholder.  The notes bear interest at 7% per annum and are convertible to common stock at the sole discretion of the note holder at a conversion price of $1.25 per share.  The notes along with accrued interest are fully due and payable one year from the date of issue.

We were formed as Seaospa, Inc. in Nevada on December 2, 2007.  On March 29, 2010, we closed a voluntary share exchange transaction (the “Exchange Transaction”) with Thwapr, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Thwapr DE”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement  by and among us, certain of our significant stockholders, Thwapr DE and the stockholders of Thwapr DE (the “Thwapr DE Stockholders”), and we conducted a 3-for-1 forward stock split of all of our outstanding and authorized shares of common stock (the “Stock Split”). As a result of the Exchange Transaction, the Thwapr DE Stockholders acquired approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding common stock, Thwapr DE became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we acquired the business and operations of Thwapr DE.
 
At the closing of the Exchange Transaction, we issued 142,676,508 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire 12,181,363 shares of our common stock to the Thwapr DE Stockholders in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Thwapr DE. Immediately prior to the Exchange Transaction, we had 14,609,754 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, subsequent to the Stock Split. Immediately after the Exchange Transaction, we had 157,286,262 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which 141,562,908 cannot be sold or traded (i) until June 9, 2012, if we have 10,000,000 registered users on such date, or (ii) upon a change of control. Additionally, of the warrants outstanding, 10,950,003 shares of the underlying securities cannot be sold or traded (i) until June 9, 2012, if we have 10,000,000 registered users on such date, or (ii) upon a change of control.
 
On April 21, 2010, we changed our name to “Thwapr, Inc.” from “Seaospa, Inc.” by amending our Articles of Incorporation and merging our wholly-owned subsidiary, Thwapr DE into us, with us surviving.

 
16

 

On July 20, 2010, we entered into an exchange offer agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with various holders of our common stock (the “Stockholders”), whereby the Stockholders agreed to exchange 141,184,908 shares of common stock at a ratio of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for three shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 47,061,636 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Exchange Agreement, the sale or transfer of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are prohibited until the earlier to occur of (x) July 20, 2012 or (y) the occurrence of a change in control.
 
We recently launched our service but we do not anticipate generating any meaningful revenues until such time that a significant number of users and brands have signed up for and are using our service.  For the remainder of 2010, we expect to continue to enhance our service offering with an emphasis on allowing brands and content providers to use Thwapr to promulgate rich media to their customers.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management of our company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
The 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 of America.  We believe certain critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.  A description of our significant accounting policies is set forth in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, as filed with the SEC on April 23, 2010.  As of, and for the three months ended September 30, 2010, there have been no material changes or updates to our critical accounting policies.
 
Results of Operations
 
The following discussion of the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in our financial position should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on April 23, 2010.

Product Development Expenses
 
Product Development Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased by 2,603.6% from $216,107 for the same period in 2009 to $5,842,676 in 2010.  The increase was mainly due to non-cash compensation expenses related to warrants and convertible preferred stock issued to independent contractors as well as an increase in testing supplies.  Additionally, there was an increase in fees paid to independent contractors.  Also included in the increase were hosting expenses and other outside services.  This was partially offset by a decrease in testing supplies

Taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $0 and $800, respectively.

Loss from Operations
 
We had a loss from operations of $8,633,227 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to an operating loss of $716,824 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $8,593,325, an increase of $7,876,527, or 1,098.8% from $716,798 for the same period in 2009.  This increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the increases in the operating expenses described above.  Also included in the loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was a credit related to the change in derivative liability of $42,196 and interest expense of $2,300.  There was no credit related to the change in derivative liability nor interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Product Development Expenses
Product Development Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by 1,622% from $417,715 for the same period in 2009 to $7,196,369 in 2010.  The increase was mainly due to non-cash compensation expenses related to warrants issued to independent contractors.  Additionally, there was an increase in fees paid to independent contractors.  Also included in the increase were testing supplies, hosting expenses and other outside services.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and Administrative Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by 298.1% from $1,228,445  for the same period in 2009 to $4,887,079 in 2010.  The primary reasons for the increase were an increase in non-cash compensation expense related to the issuance of warrants to independent contractors and professional fees for legal and accounting services.  Also contributing to the increase were payments to independent contractors, rent expense, office expense, public relations expense, investor relations expense and expenses related to professional services.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in payments to senior management and travel expense.
 
Taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $0 and $936, respectively.
 
Loss from Operations
 
We had a loss from operations of $12,083,448 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to an operating loss of $1,646,160 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $12,115,746, an increase of $10,469,612, or 636.0% from $1,646,134 for the same period in 2009.  This increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the increases in the operating expenses described above.  Also included in the loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was a charge related to the change in derivative liability of $26,704 and interest expense of $5,663.  There was no charge related to the change in derivative liability nor interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Period from inception, March 14, 2007 to September 30, 2010

We have an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $15,936,642.

As a development stage company, we currently have limited operations, principally focused on software development related to the service we intend to provide and testing that software against a variety of cell phone models, platforms and carriers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,050 and current liabilities of $491,976.  Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to support our operations and develop our technology, products and services. We presently finance our operations through the private placement of equity and debt securities. We will have significant capital needs in the next 12 months in connection with the launch of our products and services, growing our customer base, generating revenue and expanding our operations.  As we have in the past, we will rely on obtaining ongoing investments in order to execute our business plan.  We will consider debt or equity offerings or institutional borrowing as potential means of financing, however, there are no assurances that we will be successful or that we will obtain terms that are favorable to us.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,645,433 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1,261,313 for the same period in 2009.   Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was mainly due to net loss of $12,115,746, partially offset by non-cash items not affecting cash flows of $10,185,255 and an increase in accounts payables and amounts payable to shareholders of $275,092.  Net cash used in operating activities for the same period in 2009 was mainly due to a net loss of $1,646,134 and a decrease of liabilities of $38,222.  This was partially offset by non-cash items of $420,222.

 
19

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $10,397 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $22,227 used in investing activities for the same period in 2009.  Cash was used in investing activities in 2010 and to purchase property and equipment and leasehold improvements.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,633,060 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $1,298,060 net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2009.  Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulted from proceeds from sales of our common stock and this issuance of convertible notes.  Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 resulted from the proceeds from sales of our common stock.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties.  We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our financial statements.  Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.  We do not have any variable interest in any entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
 
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
 
We do not use derivative financial instruments and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, debt and derivative liability. The objective of our policies is to mitigate potential income statement, cash flow and fair value exposures resulting from possible future adverse fluctuations in rates. We evaluate our exposure to market risk by assessing the anticipated near-term and long-term fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. This evaluation includes the review of leading market indicators, discussions with financial analysts and investment bankers regarding current and future economic conditions and the review of market projections as to expected future rates.
 
We did not experience any material changes in interest rate exposures during 2009 and 2010, to date.  Hence, the effect of the fluctuations of the interest rates is considered minimal to our business operations. Based upon economic conditions and leading market indicators at September 30, 2010, we do not foresee a significant adverse change in interest rates in the near future and do not use interest rate derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2010 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the near term. These material weaknesses include the following:

 
20

 
 
 
i)
We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
ii)
We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.
 
iii)
While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, we recently formed an audit committee comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial exper .  However, this committee has only overseen the reporting of our 2010 third quarter financial results.
 
iv)
We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting.  Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.
 
We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the near term.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

We are a development stage company with a limited operating history on which to evaluate our business or base an investment decision.

Our business prospects are difficult to predict because of our limited operating history, early stage of development, unproven business strategy and unproven product. We are a development stage company that has yet to generate any revenue. Since our inception on March 14, 2007, it has been our business plan to design, develop, manufacture and distribute our Thwapr service. Thwapr has only been introduced in selected test markets and there is no guarantee that our product will be able to generate any significant revenues.  As a development stage company, we face numerous risks and uncertainties in the competitive markets.  In particular, we have not proven that we can:
 
·
develop our product offering in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet our customers’ requirements;
 
·
develop and maintain relationships with key customers and strategic partners that will be necessary to optimize the market value of our products and services;
 
·
raise sufficient capital in the public and/or private markets; or
 
·
respond effectively to competitive pressures.

If we are unable to accomplish these goals, our business is unlikely to succeed and you should consider our prospects in light of these risks, challenges and uncertainties.

We have no revenues and have incurred and expect to continue to incur substantial losses.

Since inception through September 30, 2010, we have not generated any revenues and approximately $5,092,000 has been invested in the Company to date.  We have generated significant operating losses since our formation and expect to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, our net loss was $2,475,330 and as of September 30, 2010 our accumulated deficit, excluding non-cash charges, was $15,936,642.  We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our short term business needs and we will need to generate revenue or receive additional investment in the Company to continue operations.  In addition, our business operations may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate and we may incur significant additional costs and expenses. We expect that capital outlays and operating expenditures will continue to increase as we attempt to expand our infrastructure and development activities and we will require significant additional capital in order to implement our business plan and continue our operations.  It is uncertain when or if we will generate revenues from product sales or the licensing of our technology.

 
23

 

Our auditors have expressed uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Primarily as a result of our recurring losses and our lack of liquidity, we received a report from our independent auditors that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the substantial uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern as of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
 
We are in the early stages of product development and, if we are unable to successfully develop our products and services, we will not be able to implement our business strategy.
 
We are a development stage company and are in the early stages of developing our products and services and we have not yet successfully completed the development of any products or services.  We may be unable to complete the development of our products or services or, if developed, update our products and services to address changing industry conditions and our competition.  Furthermore, no assurance can be given that our products or services, even if successfully developed, will generate sufficient revenues to enable us to be profitable.  If we do not successfully develop our products and services, our ability to implement our business strategy and our results of operations and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
 
If we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities we may not be able to generate sales and product revenue.
 
We do not currently have an organization for the sales, marketing and distribution of our services.  Our strategy is to enter into agreements or other arrangements with carriers to market our products and services.  We need to develop and maintain strategic relationships with these entities in order for them to market our products and services to their end users.  We expect to face severe competition in this effort to establish strategic relationships from other companies vying for the same type of relationships with carriers.  Some of these competitors may have a competitive advantage over us in obtaining agreements with carriers due to their size, reputation, relative financial stability or longer operating history.  If we are unable to establish such relationships on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, we may not be able to penetrate the market on a scale required to become viable or profitable.
 
If we fail to raise additional capital, our ability to implement our business model and strategy could be compromised.
 
We have limited capital resources and operations. To date, our operations have been funded entirely from the proceeds from equity and debt financings.  We expect to require substantial additional capital in the near future to develop and market new products, services and technologies.  We currently do not have commitments for financing to meet our expected needs and we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  Even if we obtain financing for our near term operations and product development, we expect that we will require additional capital beyond the near term.  If we are unable to raise capital when needed, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected, and we could be forced to reduce or discontinue our operations.
 
If we borrow money to expand our business, the likelihood that investors may lose some or all of their investment may increase.
 
We anticipate that we may incur debt for financing our growth.  Our ability to borrow funds will depend upon a number of factors, including the condition of the financial markets.  If we receive debt financing, it will have priority in any liquidation over the claims of holders of our stockholders, which could increase the risk of loss of your investment in our common stock.  In addition, our payment obligations with respect to any indebtedness could divert funds away from operations, marketing and product development efforts.

 
24

 

Our products and services are based on new and unproved technologies and are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of new products and services.
 
Because our products and services are and will be based on new technologies, they are subject to risks of failure that are particular to new technologies, including the possibility that:
 
 
·
our new approaches will not result in any products or services that gain market acceptance;
 
 
·
our products and services may unfavorably interact with other types of commonly used applications and services, thus restricting the circumstances in which they may be used;
 
 
·
proprietary rights of third parties may preclude us from marketing a new product or service; or
 
 
·
third parties may market superior or more cost-effective products or services.
 
As a result, our activities may not result in any commercially viable products or services, which would harm our sales, revenue and financial condition.
 
We face intense competition and expect competition to increase in the future, which could prohibit us from developing a customer base and generating revenue.
 
There are many companies who will compete directly with our planned products and services.  These companies may already have an established market in our industry.  Most of these companies have significantly greater financial and other resources than us and have been developing their products and services longer than we have been developing ours.  Additionally, there are not significant barriers to entry in our industry and new companies may be created that will compete with us and other, more established companies who do not now directly compete with us, may choose to enter our markets and compete with us in the future.
 
Our business depends upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes, and our failure to do so could make us less competitive in our industry.
 
The market for our products and services is characterized by rapid change and technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards.  Products using new technologies or emerging industry standards could make our products and services less attractive.  Furthermore, our competitors may have access to technology and strategic relationships not available to us, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or at a more competitive cost.  In addition, our competitors may have greater financial resources, greater experience in critical areas such as development, testing, marketing and sales, and proprietary rights that prevent us from developing certain technology without compensating them.  Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to technological developments in our markets may result in serious harm to our business and operating results. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market product and service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances available to our customers, evolving industry standards and changing preferences.
 
If our services developed for mobile devices do not gain widespread adoption by the devices’ users, we will not generate sales or substantial revenue and our financial condition will be adversely affected.
 
The commercial success of our future products and services will be dependent on their acceptance by potential customers.  Our services are developed for mobile devices and may not be compelling to users due to a number of reasons, including, among others, competitors’ services, service failures, or our inability to adequately market our services.  If we are unable to attract mobile device users to our services, we may be unsuccessful in attracting both advertisers and premium service subscribers to these services, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.

 
25

 

Our services may experience quality problems from time to time that can result in decreased sales and operating margin.
 
We expect to provide a highly complex service that may contain defects in design and manufacture that may not enable our service to operate on all devices for which they are intended.  There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and fix all defects in the products or services we provide. Failure to do so could result in lost revenue, harm to our reputation, and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.
 
Major network failures could have an adverse effect on our business.
 
Major equipment failures, natural disasters, including severe weather, terrorist acts, acts of war, cyber attacks or other breaches of network or information technology security that affect third-party networks, transport facilities, communications switches, routers, microwave links, cell sites or other third-party equipment on which we rely, could cause major network failures and/or unusually high network traffic demands that could have a material adverse effect on our operations or our ability to provide service to our customers. These events could disrupt our operations, require significant resources to resolve, result in a loss of customers or impair our ability to attract new customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
If we experience significant service interruptions, which could require significant resources to resolve, it could result in a loss of customers or impair our ability to attract new customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
In addition, with the growth of wireless data services, enterprise data interfaces and Internet-based or Internet Protocol-enabled applications, wireless networks and devices are exposed to a greater degree to third-party data or applications over which we have less direct control. As a result, the network infrastructure and information systems on which we rely, as well as our customers’ wireless devices, may be subject to a wider array of potential security risks, including viruses and other types of computer-based attacks, which could cause lapses in our service or adversely affect the ability of our customers to access our service. Such lapses could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.
 
Concerns about health risks associated with wireless equipment may reduce the demand for our services.
 
Portable communications devices have been alleged to pose health risks, including cancer, due to radio frequency emissions from these devices.  The actual or perceived risk of mobile communications devices could adversely affect us through a reduction in mobile communication devise users, thereby reducing potential users of our services.
 
If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete effectively.
 
Our ability to compete depends in part upon the strength of our proprietary rights in our technologies, brands and content. We expect to rely on a combination of U.S. and foreign patents, copyrights, trademark, trade secret laws and license agreements to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights.  We have filed for certain patents on our core technology, however, to date no patents have been issued and there is no certainty that we will ever be issued patents protecting our intellectual property.  The efforts we have taken and expect to take to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective at stopping unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary rights. In addition, effective trademark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available or cost-effective in every country in which our services are made available.  There may be instances where we are not able to fully protect or utilize our intellectual property in a manner that maximizes competitive advantage. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights from unauthorized use, the value of our products may be reduced, which could negatively impact our business. Our inability to obtain appropriate protections for our intellectual property may also allow competitors to enter our markets and produce or sell the same or similar products. In addition, protecting our intellectual property and other proprietary rights is expensive and diverts critical managerial resources. If we are otherwise unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

 
26

 

If we are forced to resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive. In addition, our proprietary rights could be at risk if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, those proceedings.  In addition, the possibility of extensive delays in the patent issuance process could effectively reduce the term during which a marketed product is protected by patents.
 
We may also need to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. We may not be able to obtain the licenses required under any patents or proprietary rights or they may not be available on acceptable terms. If we do not obtain required licenses, we may encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring licenses could be foreclosed. We may, from time to time, support and collaborate in research conducted by universities and governmental research organizations. We may not be able to acquire exclusive rights to the inventions or technical information derived from these collaborations, and disputes may arise over rights in derivative or related research programs conducted by us or our collaborators.
 
A dispute concerning the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property or proprietary rights or the intellectual property or proprietary rights of others could be time consuming and costly and an unfavorable outcome could harm our business.
 
There is significant litigation in the telecommunications technology field regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Other companies with greater financial and other resources than us have gone out of business from costs related to patent litigation and from losing a patent litigation. We may be exposed to future litigation by third parties based on claims that our technologies or activities infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Although we try to avoid infringement, there is the risk that we will use a patented technology owned or licensed by another person or entity and be sued for patent infringement or infringement of another party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.  If we or our products are found to infringe the intellectual property or proprietary rights of others, we may have to pay significant damages or be prevented from making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing such products or services or from practicing methods that employ such intellectual property or proprietary rights.
 
Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information.
 
Our success depends upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our technical personnel, our consultants and advisors as well as our licensors and contractors. Because we operate in a highly competitive field, we rely almost wholly on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We enter into confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third parties confidential information developed by us during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property. However, these agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we would not be able to prevent use of such trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive position.

 
27

 

Adverse changes in general economic or political conditions in any of the countries in which we do business or intend to launch our products could adversely affect our operating results.
 
If we grow our business to customers located in the United States as well as customers located outside of the United States as we intend, we expect to become subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in both domestic and global economic and political conditions. For example, the direction and relative strength of the United States and international economies remains uncertain due to softness in the housing markets, difficulties in the financial services sector and credit markets and continuing geopolitical uncertainties. If economic growth in the United States and other countries continue to slow, the demand for our customer’s products could decline, which would then decrease demand for our products. Furthermore, if economic conditions in the countries into which our customers sell their products continue to deteriorate, some of our customers may decide to postpone or delay certain development programs, which would then delay their need to purchase our products. This could result in a reduction in sales of our service or in a reduction in the growth of our service revenues. Any of these events would likely harm investors view of our business, our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our executive officers and our ability to maintain a skilled labor force and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.
 
Our future success depends substantially on the continued services of our executive officers. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our executive officers and directors. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Therefore, our business may be severely disrupted, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new officers. In addition, if any of our executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some of our customers.
 
If we are unable to attract, train and retain technical and financial personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our future success depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to attract, train and retain technical and financial personnel. Recruiting and retaining capable personnel, particularly those with expertise in our chosen industries, are vital to our success. There is substantial competition for qualified technical and financial personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain our technical and financial personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
 
Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
From time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operation are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Corporate insiders or their affiliates may be able to exercise significant control matters requiring a vote of our stockholders and their interests may differ from the interests of our other stockholders.
 
Certain officers and directors and stockholder are able to exercise significant control over matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Matters that require the approval of our stockholders include the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. Certain transactions are effectively not possible without the approval of these officers and directors and stockholder by virtue of their control over a majority of our outstanding shares, including, proxy contests, tender offers, open market purchase programs or other transactions that can give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices for their shares of our common stock.

We will incur significant increased costs as a public company and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
 
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur if we were a private company.  SEC rules and regulations impose heightened requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices.  Our management and other personnel will devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. We may also need to hire additional finance and administrative personnel to support our compliance requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial costs and make some activities more time-consuming.
 
In addition, as described above, we will be required to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, and the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.  Our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management effort.  We currently do not have an internal audit group and we may need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge.  If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, the market price of our securities could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
 
We will be required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, since we have not been subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations we may lack the financial controls and safeguards now required of public companies.
 
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC, we are required to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to issue a report on management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and their evaluation of the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our assessment requires us to make subjective judgments and our independent registered public accounting firm may not agree with our assessment.
 
We do not currently have the internal infrastructure necessary to complete an attestation about our financial controls that would be required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  We expect to incur additional expenses and expend management’s time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements. There can be no assurance that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of our financial controls.  As of September 30, 2010, our management the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  We have concluded that internal controls and procedures are not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP rules.  Management realizes there are deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal controls.  Nevertheless, our management has determined that all matters to be disclosed in this report have been fully and accurately reported.  We are in the process of improving our processes and procedures to ensure full, accurate and timely disclosure in the current fiscal year, with the expectation of establishing effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as soon as reasonably practicable.  Achieving continued compliance with Section 404 may require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with Section 404 or that, we and our independent registered public accounting firm would be able to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective at fiscal year end. As a result, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our securities, as well as subject us to civil or criminal investigations and penalties. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm may not agree with our management’s assessment or conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively.  We will continue to consistently improve our internal control over the financial reporting with our best efforts and we plan to engage assistance from outside experts in doing so.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities
 
Our stock may be categorized as a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Our stock may be categorized as a “penny stock”. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We expect to experience volatility in our stock price, which could negatively affect shareholders’ investments.
 
The  market price for shares of our common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate based upon a number of factors, including, without limitation, business performance, news announcements or changes in general market conditions.
 
Other factors, in addition to the those risks included in this section, that may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock include, but are not limited to:
 
 
·
international developments, such as technology mandates, political developments or changes in economic policies;
 
 
·
changes in recommendations of securities analysts;
 
 
·
shortfalls in our backlog, revenues or earnings in any given period relative to the levels expected by securities analysts or projected by us;
 
 
·
government regulations, including stock option accounting and tax regulations;
 
 
·
energy blackouts;
 
 
·
acts of terrorism and war;
 
 
·
widespread illness;
 
 
·
proprietary rights or product or patent litigation;
 
 
·
strategic transactions, such as acquisitions and divestitures; or
 
 
·
rumors or allegations regarding our financial disclosures or practices.
 
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities.  Due to the volatility of our common stock price, we may be the target of securities litigation in the future.  Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.
 
Our stock may be classified by the SEC as “penny stock”.  Shareholders should also be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for “penny stock” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.  Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.  Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the future volatility of our share price.
 
To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
 
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends.  Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends.  We presently intend to retain all earnings for our operations.

 
31

 

Our common stock is not currently publicly traded, and investors may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if they need to sell or liquidate their shares.
 
We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.  However, we do not rule out the possibility of applying for listing on the NYSE Amex (formerly known as American Stock Exchange), NASDAQ Capital Market or other markets.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our common stock.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock.  In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by our principal shareholders and affiliated entities.
 
Our principal shareholders, which includes our officers and directors, and their affiliated entities, own approximately 89% of our outstanding shares of common stock. These shareholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert substantial influence over matters such as electing directors and approving mergers or other business combination transactions.  In addition, because of the percentage of ownership and voting concentration in these principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, elections of our board of directors will generally be within the control of these shareholders and their affiliated entities. While all of our shareholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control presently lies with these principal shareholders and their affiliated entities. As such, it would be difficult for shareholders to propose and have approved proposals not supported by management. There can be no assurances that matters voted upon by our officers and directors in their capacity as shareholders will be viewed favorably by all of our shareholders.
 
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provision permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors to our company and shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup.  These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.
 
We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 16,883,265 shares are issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privilege of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. We may issue shares in connection with financing arrangements or otherwise. Any such issuances will result in immediate dilution to our existing shareholders’ interests, which will negatively affect the value of your shares.

 
32

 

A limited public trading market exists for our common stock, which makes it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock in the public markets.
 
Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “THWI,” there is a limited public market for our common stock.  No assurance can be given that an active market will develop or that a stockholder will ever be able to liquidate its shares of common stock without considerable delay, if at all.  Many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities.  Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in these securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price.  Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance.  These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
 
ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010 the Company sold unregistered common stock on three different occasions.  On August 26, 2010 we sold 40,000 shares of common stock for $2.50 per share.  On September 8, 2010 we sold 65,000 shares of common stock for $2.50 per share.  Finally, on September 17, 2010 we sold 13,600 shares of common stock for $2.50 per share. In each instance the sales price reflected the fair market value of the stock on the date of sale.  We used the net proceeds of $295,060 from these sales of common stock for general corporate purposes.

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, the Company sold 185,000 shares of its common stock for $2.50 with net proceeds from the sale of $436,400.  We used the net proceeds from this sale of common stock for general corporate purposes.
 
On September 27, 2010, the Company issued 1,666,666 shares of its convertible preferred stock to consultants to the Company in exchange for 1,047,916 of previously issued warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $1.25 per share.  One-fourth of the preferred shares vested to the consultants upon issuance.  The remaining three-quarters of the shares vest to the consultants quarterly over the next three quarters as long as the consultants remain associated with the Company.

We issued the shares in reliance on Section 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and comparable exemptions for sales to “accredited” investors under state securities laws.
