YAPPN CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2014
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
Yappn Corp., formerly “Plesk Corp.”, (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2010. The business plan of the Company is to provide effective unique and proprietary tools and services that create dynamic solutions that enhance a brand’s messaging, media, e-commerce and support platforms. The Company has offices in the US and Canada. In March 2013, the Company acquired a concept and technology license from Intertainment Media Inc., a Canadian company, in exchange for 70,000,000 common stock of the Company. As a result of this exchange, Intertainment Media Inc. acquired a 70 percent ownership of the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared from the accounts of the Company under the accrual basis of accounting.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of February 28, 2014, and for the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, and cumulative from inception, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 and cumulative from inception. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2014. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Refer to the Company’s audited financial statements as of May 31, 2013 filed with the SEC for additional information.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Yappn Acquisition Corp. and Yappn Canada, Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Development Stage
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No 915, Development Stage Entities. A development stage enterprise is one in which planned and principal operations have not commenced or, if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenue. Development-stage companies report cumulative costs from the enterprise’s inception.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discount. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. The Company has not recorded any allowances for doubtful accounts for the periods ended February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and credit to accounts receivable. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is reasonably assured.
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with the delivery and distribution of services. These include expenses related to the operation of data centers, salaries, benefits and customer project based costs for certain personnel in the Company’s operations.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $172,027 and $-0- and $438,459 and $-0- during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively, and $454,347 for the period from November 3, 2010 (inception) through February 28, 2014.
Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss 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. As of February 28, 2014 the Company issued 9,360,000 units of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a conversion feature to common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 and 9,480,000 five year warrants to purchase an additional share of common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.10. As part of separate subscription agreements, the Company also issued 700 five year (Series A) warrants that allows the holder of each warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15, and 700 five year (Series B) warrants that allows the holder of each warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price and $0.20. Additionally, the Company issued convertible notes that are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder. The conversion formula is based on the value of the debt host at the time of conversion. All of these issuances have a dilutive effect on earnings per share when the Company has net income for the period.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Tax”. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States. All of the Company’s tax years since inception remain subject to examination by Federal and state jurisdictions.
The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). There have been no penalties nor interest related to unrecognized tax benefits reflected in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 and for the period of November 3, 2010 (inception) through February 28, 2014.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. US GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants (Notes 8 and 9) and the convertible debt instruments (Note 6) are classified as Level 2 financial liabilities.
As of February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013, the carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans from related parties approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair Value of Preferred Stock and Warrants Derivative Instruments
The Company entered into subscription agreements whereby it sold Units consisting of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10. Both the preferred stock and the warrant are treated as liabilities rather than as equity instruments resulting from the variability caused by the favorable terms to the holders. The Series A Preferred Stock and the five year warrants provide the holder with full anti-dilution ratchet provisions that provide the holder with a potential increase in the amount of common stock exchanged or a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the stated exercise price of $0.10. The Company also issued two sets of five year warrants as part of a subscription agreement that included convertible debt. Each set of five year warrants allows for the purchase of 10,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 and 10,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 and provides the same anti-dilution ratchet provisions as the other warrants issued.
Both instruments are measured at fair value using a binomial lattice valuation methodology and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as derivative liabilities. Both unrealized and realized gains and losses related to the derivatives are recorded based on the changes in the fair values and are reflected as a financing expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Hybrid Financial Instruments
For certain hybrid financial instruments, the Company elected to apply the fair value option to account for these instruments. The Company made an irrevocable election to measure such hybrid financial instruments at fair value in their entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each balance sheet date. The election may be made on an instrument by instrument basis.
Debt Discount and Amortization of Debt Discount
Debt discount represents the fair value of embedded conversion options of various convertible debt instruments and attached convertible equity instruments issued in connection with debt instruments. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of other expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Fair Value of Convertible Notes
The Company has issued convertible notes that are convertible into common stock, at the option of the holder, at conversion prices based on the trading price per share over a period of time. As a result of the variability in the amount of common stock to be issued, these instruments are reflected at fair value. These instruments are measured at fair value using a binomial lattice valuation methodology and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “convertible notes at fair value”. Any unrealized and realized gains and losses related to the convertible notes are recorded based on the changes in the fair values and are reflected as financing expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses for the periods from November 3, 2010 (inception) through February 28, 2014.
The Company’s significant estimates include the fair value of financial instruments including the underlying assumptions to estimate the fair value of derivative financial instruments and convertible notes and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.
Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
These significant accounting estimates bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates and certain estimates are difficult to measure or value.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations with no impact on stockholder’s deficit or net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
2. Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has net losses for the period from November 3, 2010 (inception) to February 28, 2014 of $3,274,509.
As of February 28, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,520,000. During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2,073,000. The Company expects to have similar cash needs for the next twelve month period. At the present time, the Company does not have sufficient funds to fund operations over the next twelve months.
Implementation of our business plan will require additional debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. We are in the development stage, and have limited revenues to cover our operating costs. As such, we have incurred an operating loss since inception. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management plans to meet its operating cash flow requirements from financing activities until the future operating activities become sufficient to support the business to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to work on generating operating cash flows from the commercialization of its software platform. Until those cash flows are sufficient the Company will pursue other financing when deemed necessary.
The Company is pursuing a number of different financing opportunities in order to execute its business plan. These include, short term debt arrangements, convertible debt arrangements, common share equity financings, either through a private placement or through the public markets and has engaged a number of investment brokers to assist management in achieving its financing objectives. Since May 31, 2013, the Company has raised approximately $2,055,000 through various financial instruments.
There can be no assurance that the raising of future equity or debt will be successful or that the Company’s anticipated financing will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory to the Company. Failure to achieve the equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may have to cease operations.
3. Concentration of Credit Risk
All of the Company’s revenues for the period from November 3, 2010 (inception) through February 28, 2014 are attributed to a small number of customers.
4. Transfer of Assets
On March 28, 2013, the Company purchased a prospective social media platform and related group of assets from Intertainment Media, Inc. for 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of this purchase Intertainment Media, Inc. became the majority owner of Yappn Corp. Included in the transfer of assets is a services agreement dated March 21, 2013 by and among Intertainment Media, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively “Ortsbo”. The services agreement provides general maintenance and enhancements for the assets provided on a fee and license basis.
The transferred assets are reflected at the historical carrying value of Intertainment Media, Inc. which was Nil.
5. Convertible Promissory Bridge Loan and Loans from Third Parties
On February 28, 2013, the Company agreed to a 6% convertible promissory bridge loan in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 to an accredited investor, with gross proceeds of $200,000. The transfer of the principal did not take place until March 28, 2013, at which time it was exchanged, along with implied accrued interest of $1,000, for the purchase of 4,010,000 Units of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and attached warrants at a stated value of $0.10 per unit on that date (Note 8).
On July 10, 2013, the Company borrowed $336,000 (Canadian $350,000) from a private individual. The loan has a term of nine months and is interest free for the first 120 days and 1% per month for the remainder with a final bullet payment due at the end of the term. As a result of favorable terms to the Company, the fair value of the loan on inception was estimated at $309,313 using an imputed interest rate of 18%. As of February 28, 2014, the fair value of the note was approximately $316,400. On April 1, 2014 this note was amended and $100,000 of this note was retired and contributed to a subscription agreement for Units that included a convertible note and warrants (Note 13).
On January 7, 2014, the Company borrowed $253,200 (Canadian $280,000) from a private individual. The loan has a term of three months and has an interest rate of 12% per annum payable at the maturity date. A preparation fee of 10% or $25,300 (Canadian $28,000) was paid at inception and recorded as a financing expense. As of February 28, 2014, the fair value of the note was $253,200.
On January 9, 2014, the Company borrowed $271,200 (Canadian $300,000) from a private individual. The loan had an initial term of six weeks and has an interest rate of 12% per annum payable at the maturity date. A preparation fee of 5% or $13,500 (Canadian $15,000) was paid at inception and recorded as a financing expense. The note was extended past its due date of February 24, 2014 pending settlement with the private individual. As of February 28, 2014, the fair value of the note was $271,200. In March 2014, the Company repaid $215,000 of the principal amount of the note (Note 13).
6. Convertible Promissory Notes
Asher Enterprises, Inc.
On October 9, 2013 the Company sold an 8% Convertible Note to Asher Enterprises, Inc. in the principal amount of $78,500 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, which was executed on October 9, 2013. The 8% Convertible Note matures on July 2, 2014 and has an interest rate of 8% per annum until it becomes due. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date thereof. On March 28, 2014, the Company repaid this convertible note (Note 13).
On December 12, 2013 the Company sold an 8% Convertible Note to Asher Enterprises, Inc. in the principal amount of $42,500 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement which was executed on December 4, 2013. The 8% Convertible Note matures on September 6, 2014 and has an interest rate of 8% per annum until it becomes due. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date thereof.
The 8% Convertible Notes may be converted into common stock of the Company at any time beginning on the 180th day of the date from issuance. However, it shall not be converted if the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates to own more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Such limitations on conversion may be waived by the Note holder with not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. The conversion price is 61% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.
JMJ Financial
On November 15, 2013, the Company executed and issued a Convertible Promissory Note agreement with JMJ Financial in the principal amount of $500,000, with a $50,000 original issue discount that shall be ratably applied towards payments made by the investor. The agreement was amended on February 11, 2014 and applies retroactively to the date of issuance. The Convertible Promissory Note is due two years from the effective date of each payment. It is interest free if repaid within 90 days and if not paid within 90 days, it bears a one-time interest charge of 12%, which is in addition to the original issue discount. The Company agreed to pay a closing and due diligence fee of 8% of each payment made by the investor which shall be applied to the principal amount of the Convertible Promissory Note. After 90 days from the effective date and until the maturity date the Company may not make further payments on the note without written approval. After 180 days from issuance, the principal and any accrued interest are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the lower of $0.10 per share or 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 days prior to conversion. The note has piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares into which the note is convertible. On February 11, 2014 the Company borrowed an additional $40,000. As of February 28, 2014, the Company had borrowed $105,000 under this agreement.
Convertible Promissory Notes with Series A and B Warrants
On January 29, 2014 and February 27, 2014, the Company issued 395 and 305 Units for $395,000 and $305,000, respectively, to accredited non-US investors under the subscription agreements. The Units, as defined in the subscription agreement, consist of (i) one unsecured 6% convertible promissory note, $1,000 par value, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 share of common stock (individually Series A Warrant); and, (iii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 share of common stock (individually Series B Warrant). The purchase price for each unit is $1,000 and resulted in a funding total of $700,000.
The Notes mature 24 months from the issuance date and have an interest rate of 6% per annum payable in arrears on the earlier of a default date or the maturity date. The notes may be converted at any time after the original issuance date at the election of their holders to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued interest at a conversion price of $0.10. Under the subscription agreement, the Company has granted price protections provisions that provide the holder with a potential increase in the amount of common stock exchanged or a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the stated exercise price of $0.10. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 16% per annum from the date it is due.
As the instruments are considered derivatives and the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a financing expense on issuance of derivatives for accounting purposes and reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) below the operating income as an “other expense”.

On December 17, 2013, the Company sold two 8% convertible promissory notes in the amount of $25,000 each to independent accredited investors for a total of $50,000. After deductions for banking fees of $2,500 and legal expenses of $1,500 for each note, the Company received $21,000 for each note for a total of $42,000. The notes mature on September 13, 2014. Each note may be converted into common stock of the Company at any time beginning on the 180th day of the date of the note at a conversion price of 55% of the average prices of the lowest two closing prices on the 10 days prior to conversion pursuant to the requirements of the note. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 24% per annum.
As a result of the variability in the amount of common stock to be issued, the Company has elected to value these instruments at fair value.

The Company has determined the convertible notes to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to calculate the fair value as of the commitment date at February 28, 2014.
The Company used basic data inputs for the calculations of fair value at the commitment date and the revaluation dates that ranged in value based on the timing of the issuance of the notes. The following are the ranges that the basic data inputs reflect for the various notes: the exercise or strike price ranging from $0.03 to $0.07, time to expiration ranging from 124 to 732 days, the risk free interest rate ranging from 0.08% to 0.32%, the stock price on the commitment date ranging from $0.05 to $0.07, the stock price on the reporting dates of $0.05, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future of 150%, and no dividends.
7. Common Stock
On December 8, 2010, the Company issued 112,500,000 post-split (7,500,000 pre-split) shares of common stock to the officers and directors of the Company for cash proceeds of $750.

On March 11, 2013, the Company authorized a stock dividend, treated as a stock split for accounting purposes, whereby an additional 14 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, was issued on each one share of common stock outstanding to each holder of record on March 25, 2013. All common stock and per share information has been adjusted retroactively for the stock split.
On March 14, 2013 the Company changed the authorized stock to 200,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share.

Thereafter, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Plesk Holdings, Inc. to certain of the Company’s former stockholders in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 112,500,000 shares of our common stock held by such persons.
On June 24, 2013, the Company issued and transferred 300,000 shares of common stock, valued at $42,000 in exchange for business consulting services.

The Company will issue 500,000 shares of common stock to a provider of consulting services for past consulting obligations and in consideration of arrangements entered into for Intertainment Media, Inc. for prior and future obligations. The Company negotiated a settlement with that same provider of consulting services to only issue an additional 200,000 shares of common stock for services provided instead of the original estimate of 449,261 shares of common stock. The provider will now receive a total of 700,000 shares of common stock for settlement of all current and prior consulting services as of February 28, 2014 with a value of $101,711.
The Company will issue 300,000 share of common stock, valued at $24,000, in addition to cash compensation to a provider of strategic consulting services. During the three months ended February 28, 2014, the Company employed two consulting firms and committed to issue 300,000 shares of common stock, valued at $16,500, to each firm as compensation for their services. This total of 600,000 shares of common stock, valued at $33,000, is reflected as subscribed shares in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company will issue 1,666,667 shares of common stock, valued at $133,333, to Ortsbo for amending the Services Agreement dated March 21, 2013 for an exclusive license to use the Ortsbo property (see Note 12).

At the time of the sale, the market price of the Company’s common stock was $0.50.
As the instruments are considered derivatives and the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a financing expense on issuance of derivatives for accounting purposes and reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) below the operating income as an “other expense”.

Each Series B warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.20 per share. The Series A and Series B warrants permit cashless exercise beginning with the effective date unless and until a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrants is effective with the Commission. The warrants are treated as liabilities rather than as equity instruments resulting from the variability caused by the favorable terms to the holders. The warrants have a five year life. On both dates of issue the market price of the Company’s common stock was $0.05.
The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative preferred stock liability and the derivative warrant liability are described in Note 9 – Derivative Preferred Stock and Warrant Liabilities.

The outstanding warrants at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2014 have a stated average exercise price of $0.10 per share and $0.10, $0.15 and $0.20 per share, respectively based on the warrant conditions and have an approximate weighted average remaining life ranging from approximately 4.1 years to 5 years.
As of February 28, 2014, as a result of the issuance of an amendment on certain convertible notes with a conversion formula resulting in a conversion price lower than the strike price for the preferred stock and warrants, the Company does not have to make any additional adjustments to the fair value of the derivative obligations and this amount was reversed in the current period.
9. Derivative Preferred Stock and Warrant Liabilities
The Company has preferred stock and warrants outstanding with price protection provisions that provide the holder with a potential increase in the amount of common stock exchanged or a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the stated exercise price of $0.10. Simultaneously, with any reduction to the exercise price, additional preferred shares will be issued in direct correlation to a reduction in the exercise price and the conversion price of the warrants will be decreased to the new price. The price protection on the preferred shares is for a twelve month period, while the price protection on the warrants is for the life of the warrants.
Accounting for Derivative Preferred Stock Liability
The Company’s derivative preferred stock instruments have been measured at fair value at February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013 using the binomial lattice model. The Company recognizes all of its preferred stock with price protection in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as a liability. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The initial recognition and subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative preferred stock liability have no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated cash flows.
The revaluation of the preferred stock at each reporting period resulted in the recognition of a gain of $5,088,047 within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and convertible notes”. As a result of an amendment to the underlying affected agreements, no expense was recorded for the nine month period ended February 28, 2014 and the estimated exposure of $614,430 was reversed in the current period and reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as part of “change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and convertible notes”. The fair value of the preferred stock at February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013 was $31,720 and $3,479,862, respectively, which is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative Preferred Stock Liability”.

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Preferred Stock Liability
The Company has determined its derivative preferred stock liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to calculate the fair value as of February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013. The binomial lattice model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.
The key inputs used in the March 28, 2013 issuance of 4,010,000 preferred stock shares for determination of fair value calculations were as follows:

Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability
The Company’s derivative warrant instruments have been measured at fair value at February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013 using the binomial lattice model. The Company recognizes all of its warrants with price protection in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as a liability. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The initial recognition and subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative warrant liability have no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated cash flows.
The revaluation of the warrants at each reporting period resulted in the recognition of a gain of $4,817,768 within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended February 28, 2014, and is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and convertible notes”. The fair value of the warrants at February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013 was $947,661 and $4,050,278, respectively, which is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability”.

In connection with a portion of the private placement on May 31, 2013, the broker was eligible for 120,000 warrants having the same full ratchet anti-dilution provisions as the other warrants, as part of the broker’s commission. These warrants were estimated using the same valuation techniques and reflected as an accrued liability until issued on November 15, 2013 at a value of $9,636. Prior accruals of approximately $53,000 for these warrants were adjusted in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and convertible notes”.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management evaluates whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on Management’s evaluation, the net deferred tax asset was offset by a full valuation allowance. The Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance will be reversed if and when the Company generates sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the tax benefits of the related deferred tax assets.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax asset as of February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013 are as follows:

On March 26, 2014, the Company received an advance in the amount of $150,000 on a loan agreement and promissory note, finalized on April 7, 2014, whereby the Company can borrow up to $3,000,000 from a third party lender. The loan agreement is for an initial two year term subject to the lender’s right to demand.

Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10. Upon the Company’s first draw down of $200,000 from the line of credit, 2,000,000 five year warrants will vest. For each subsequent $100,000 the Company draws, 1,000,000 five year warrants will vest until the maximum of 8,000,000 warrants are vested.

The Units, as defined in the subscription agreement, consist of (i) one unsecured 6% convertible promissory note, $1,000 par value, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 share of common stock (individually Series A Warrant); and, (iii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 share of common stock (individually Series B Warrant).

The notes may be converted at any time after the original issuance date at the election of their holders to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued interest at a conversion price of $0.10. Under the subscription agreement, the Company has granted price protections provisions that provide the holder with a potential increase in the amount of common stock exchanged or a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the stated exercise price of $0.10. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 16% per annum from the date it is due. The Series A warrants may be exercised for a purchase price equal to $0.15 per share of common stock. The Series B Warrant may be exercised for a purchase price equal to $0.20 per share of common stock.

Business History
We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2010 under the name of “Plesk Corp.” Our initial business plan was to import consumer electronics, home appliances and plastic house wares. In March 2013, we changed our name to YAPPN Corp. and entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire a prospective social media platform. We have abandoned our original business plan and will operate a business that provides effective unique and proprietary tools and services that create dynamic solutions that enhance a brand’s messaging, media, e-commerce and support platforms.
On March 28, 2013, we purchased a prospective social media platform and related group of assets known as Yappn (“Yappn”) from Intertainment Media, Inc. (“IMI”), a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, for 70,000,000 shares of our common stock, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” and the transaction, the “Asset Purchase”) by and among IMI, us, and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Yappn Acquisition Sub., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Yappn Sub”). IMI, as a result of this transaction has a controlling interest in Yappn. Included in the purchased assets is a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) dated March 21, 2013 by and among IMI and its wholly owned subsidiaries Ortsbo, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (“Ortsbo Canada”), and Ortsbo USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ortsbo USA” and, collectively with Ortsbo Canada, “Ortsbo”). Ortsbo is the owner of certain multi-language real time translation intellectual property that will be a significant component of the Yappn business opportunity. Additionally, on March 28, 2013, we sold an aggregate of 4,010,000 units in a private placement to certain investors. $401,000 of the units were sold at a per unit price of $0.10. Additionally, and included in the foregoing unit total, an aggregate of $200,000 of our bridge notes (plus $1,000 in accrued but unpaid interest on such bridge notes) converted into the private placement at a per unit price of $0.10. Each unit consisted of (i) one share of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which is convertible into one share of our common stock and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.10. On May 31, 2013 and June 7, 2013, we sold to certain accredited investors additional 3,700,000 units and 1,650,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $370,000 and $165,000, respectively.
We have abandoned our plan to import consumer electronics, home appliances and plastic house wares. Immediately following the Asset Purchase, under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations, we transferred all of our pre-Asset Purchase assets and liabilities to our wholly owned subsidiary, Plesk Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Thereafter, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, we transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Plesk Holdings, Inc. to certain of our former stockholders in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 112,500,000 shares of our common stock held by such persons.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1001 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10018 and our telephone number is (888) 859-4441. Our website is http://www. yappn.com.
Our Business
Yappn is a real-time multilingual company that amplifies brand messaging, helps conduct commerce and provides customer support by globalizing these experiences with its proprietary approach to language. Through its Real Time Multilingual Amplification platform, Yappn eliminates the language barrier, allowing the free flow of communications in nearly 70 languages. Yappn has developed cost effective unique and proprietary technology tools and services that create dynamic solutions that enhance a brands messaging, media, e-commerce and support platforms.
Yappn redefines global social marketing by providing a set of stand-alone commercial tools for brands providing easy to implement and cost effective globalization solutions complimenting Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr and YouTube, web, mobile, online broadcasting, private networks and event virtualization.
Yappn will also be used to enable eCommerce in the multi-language/multi-social media marketing feed of an online store, the multi-language translation of the store, and the multi-language post-sale support of a transaction. The company is planning to work with its customers on an incremental revenue based model deriving revenue from a percent of each sale plus professional services when applicable.
Implementation of our business plan will require additional debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. We are in the development stage, and have limited revenues to cover our operating costs. As such, we have incurred an operating loss since inception. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our Strategy
The initial Yappn website was launched in September 2013. Since that time, we have made improvements and enhancements to the site and the tool set. As of November 2013, we have successfully completed the first phase of the rollout of its global chat platform and are now focused on the second phase of the rollout, including the launch of its updated chat platform and the launch of its revenue driven commercial tool set programs. Subsequent to the Quarter End, Yappn completed and launched further updates to the website.
As mentioned earlier, our e-Commerce business model is to partner with brands/stores and work on a percentage of revenue ranging from 12% to 15% of the value of the base transaction, plus professional services. We provide services on a fee for services basis, and in some cases on a CPM (cost per thousand) or as a percentage of revenue to online advertising and monetization events. We plan to offer opportunities for corporate sponsorship of message boards, contests and surveys and to provide marketers with access to an analytics platform. We anticipate that the majority of our revenues will come from revenue sharing, corporate sponsorships and the analytic platform, not from the sale of advertising space.
The Yappn chat platform (chat.yappn.com) allows users to create and moderate discussion rooms based on interest topics where users can view content and chat in their native language in real time. Each user's experience is individualized to their native language allowing for a global free flow of communication without a language barrier. Revenue in the chat platform is driven by sponsorship programs, private chat boards and other upcoming upgrades in the future.
The Yappn tool set (yappn.com) provides brands with a series of technology add-ons to complement their current social media activities and allows them to reach a global audience by instantly providing key messaging in almost 70 languages. The tools are a "build once and deploy everywhere" arrangement allowing brands to embed key social media like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr and Tumblr and mobile into existing platforms. Yappn tools have been effectively tested and commercially deployed through a number of entertainment, sports and commercial brands and they are now available to agencies to enhance their client's domestic and global outreach plans. The programs are available on a servicing contractual basis and we have begun to receive contractual commitments from various brands for the use of its tool sets.
In March of 2014, Yappn further supported its marketing activities by launching a much more sophisticated website which highlights its features and benefits much more clearly and provides concrete examples of the potential uses of the technology. It has also developed a section in which the company plans on continually updating and discussing multi-lingual resources.
We continue to develop and plan the launch of additional revenue driven feature sets. Each new feature set is built on a prime revenue driver for our business as it continues to work with clients and their agencies to develop new deployment tools and programs to reach an expanding global audience.
FotoYapp
In early 2014 Yappn developed a prototype of, and the specifications for, a product called FotoYapp. FotoYapp is expected to be a consumer oriented photo sharing application where most major social media content can be tagged to and presented in multiple languages. This aggregated content can be branded according to the user’s preferences, and can incorporate advertisements from a 3rd party service.
A Summary of Significant Events
Throughout the quarter, Yappn has announced via press releases a series of significant events. These included:
|
·
|
December 9, 2013 -- Announced that Yappn Chat (http://chat.yappn.com), had a significant increase in user engagement in November 2013 with over 1.1 Million unique visitors to its platform. Yappn also saw a major rise in the online Alexa rankings breaking into the Top 200,000 sites worldwide after launching its full site just over 2 months ago on September 21, 2013.
|
|
·
|
January 7, 2014 -- Announced that as part of Yappn’s commitment to develop new and engaging programs to create global social engagement and revenue opportunities Yappn launched a new tool set and service program that enables stock photos, graphic images and other “still” media with the ability to engage or “talk” in almost 70 languages.
|
|
o
|
Traditionally, still images are single dimension for display only and limit the social content or engagement factors. Yappn’s new social imaging technology allows stock images to be directly “connected” to an array of social and multimedia content, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, other social networks, video and other interactive media as part of their creation process when the image is originally managed or at a later date. Connected content will be available natively in the viewer’s language of choice, making it easy to globalize any content.
|
|
o
|
The Yappn platform creates and updates content “on the fly” and can be complemented with global, multi-language chat and monetization through sponsorship, advertising and other revenue programs. Yappn has created a number of business models around its social imaging technology and is working with industry leaders to create scalable revenue opportunities.
|
|
o
|
With the insertion of a “sticker” on or around the image, content is easily connected to the image and multiple pages creating secondary and tertiary single and multiple language viewing opportunities can become available to provide additional content and revenue opportunities for online publishers.
|
|
·
|
January 14, 2014 – Announced that Chris Bosh and Team Bosh of the NBA’s Miami Heat would show appreciation for Bosh fans and their support for his NBA All-Star Team run with an international Twitter event that was held on Thursday, January 16 at 7pm Eastern Time / 4pm Pacific Time.

The Learn To Ride program is one of the most coveted invitations by celebrities at Sundance, and for the first time, fans around the globe were able to experience the event remotely with real-time access to professional and user-generated content as well as the ability to participate in conversations, no matter their language. Yappn gave fans the next best thing to being at Sundance with access to video, images and social content in their native language surrounding both the kickoff event on January 16, dubbed Lil Jon’s birthday party, and the two-day Learn To Ride event where celebrities learn to snowboard on January 17 and 18.

The Services Agreement
We acquired the rights under the Services Agreement dated March 21, 2013 between IMI and IMI’s wholly owned Ortsbo subsidiaries upon the closing of the Asset Purchase. The services provided by Ortsbo under the Services Agreement will be integral to our new business focus relating to the Yappn assets. Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, Ortsbo will make available to us its representational state transfer application programming interface (the “Ortsbo API”), which provides multi-language real-time translation as a cloud service. We have the right to incorporate the Ortsbo API service in our Yappn social media platform, including enabling multi-language translation of all web content, forums, user comments, sponsor advertisements, and any other text based language pertaining to the Yappn experience, whether viewed on the yappn.com domain or pursuant to a mobile app or other form of digital delivery to the end user (collectively, the “API Services”). The Services Agreement also provides that Ortsbo makes its “Live and Global” product offering (the “Video Service” and, together with the API Services, the “Services”), which enables a cross language experience for a live, video streaming production, available to us as a service for marketing and promoting the Yappn product in the marketplace. The Services do not include the “chat” technology itself and we shall be solely responsible for creating, securing or otherwise building out our website and any mobile applications to include chat functionality, user forums, user feedback, and related functionality within which the Ortsbo API can be utilized to enable multi-language use. No intellectual property owned by Ortsbo will be transferred to us except to the extent set forth in the Services Agreement as described in “Intellectual Property” set forth below.
For all ongoing services provided under the Services Agreement, we shall pay Ortsbo an amount equal to the actual cost incurred by Ortsbo in providing the Services, plus thirty percent (30%). In addition, we shall pay to Ortsbo an ongoing revenue share which shall equal seven percent (7%) of the gross revenue generated by our activities utilizing the Services. If we are earning revenue without use of the Services because, for example, all communications are taking place in English, then no revenue share shall be owing to Ortsbo with respect thereto. If there is a blend of multi-language and English-English communications, then the parties shall do their best to pro rate or apportion the revenues appropriately in order to compensate Ortsbo for the portion of our revenues enabled by use of the Services from Ortsbo. The Services Agreement may be terminated by either party with 60 days notice and both parties may not, for the term of the Agreement and a period of two years thereafter, (i) directly or indirectly assist any business that is competitive with the other party’s business, (ii) solicit any person to leave employment with the other and (iii) solicit or encourage any customer to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the other.
In October 2013 amended the Services Agreement. Under the terms of the amendment to the services agreement, we will have the first right of refusal to purchase the Ortsbo platform and all its assets and operations for a period of two years; increasing its use of Ortsbo's technology for business to consumer social programs at a purchase price to be negotiated at the time the Company exercises its right. We will also have a right to purchase a copy of the source code only applicable to Yappn programs for $2 Million USD which may be paid in cash or restricted shares of the Company's common stock at a per share price of $.15. As part of the enhancement agreement, we issued Ortsbo 1,666,667 shares of our restricted common stock, subject to all necessary approvals.
Competition
Our new business focus relating to and arising from the development of the Yappn assets is characterized by innovation, rapid change, and disruptive technologies. We will face significant competition in every aspect of this business, including from companies that provide tools to facilitate the sharing of information, that enable marketers to display personalized advertising and that provide users with multi-language real-time translation of social media platforms. We will compete with the following, many of whom have significantly greater resources than we do:

·

We anticipate that we will compete to attract, engage, and retain users, to attract and retain marketers, to attract and retain corporate sponsorship opportunities, and to attract and retain highly talented individuals, especially software engineers, designers, and product managers. As we introduce new features to the Yappn platform, as the platform evolves, or as other companies introduce new platforms and new features to their existing platforms, we may become subject to additional competition. We believe that our ability to quickly adapt to a changing marketplace, and our experienced management team, will enable us to compete effectively in the market. Further, we believe that our focus on encouraging user engagement based on topics and interests, rather than on “friends” or connections, will differentiate us from much of the competition.
Intellectual Property
We own (i) the yappn.com domain name and (ii) the Yappn name and all trademarks, service marks, trade dress and copyrights associated with the Yappn name, logo and graphic art. We may prepare several patent filings in the future. Upon payment of the applicable fees pursuant to the Services Agreement, we will become the exclusive owner of copyright in the literary works or other works of authorship delivered by Ortsbo to us as part of the Services provided under the Services Agreement (the “Deliverables”). All such rights shall not be subject to rescission upon termination of the Services Agreement. Also as set forth in the Services Agreement, we shall grant to Ortsbo (i) a non-exclusive (subject to certain limitations) license to use the Deliverables for the sole purpose of developing its technology, (ii) a non-exclusive license to use, solely in connection with the provision of the Services, any intellectual property owned or developed by us or on our behalf and necessary to enable Ortsbo to provide the Services and (iii) a license to use intellectual property obtained by us from third parties and necessary to enable Ortsbo to provide the Services. All such licenses shall expire upon termination of the Services Agreement.
Marketing
We intend that the Yappn community will grow virally with users inviting their friends to connect with them, supported by internal efforts to stimulate user awareness and interest. In addition, we plan to invest in marketing its services to build its brand and user base around the world and to regularly host online events and conferences to engage with developers, marketers and online consumers.
Government Regulation
We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state, and foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet, many of which are still evolving and being tested in courts, and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. These may involve user privacy, rights of publicity, data protection, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, taxation and online payment services. In particular, we are subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the United States. U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly-evolving industry in which we operate. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies, and foreign governments concerning data protection which could affect us. For example, a revision to the 1995 European Union Data Protection Directive is currently being considered by legislative bodies that may include more stringent operational requirements for data processors and significant penalties for non-compliance.

The operating expenses consisted of marketing of $172,027, research and development expenses of $338,048, general and administrative expenses of $15,266, legal fees of $46,882 and consulting and professional fees of $449,765.
Our operating expenses have increased in the three months ended February 28, 2014 as we have changed our business plan to developing and launching our multi-language platform. Research and development expenses are for consulting fees of technology consultants working on the social media platform. General and administrative expenses include CEO and communications consulting services. Legal expenses were incurred primarily related to general legal matters and assistance with a private placements and issuance of convertible notes.

As a result of the variability in the amount of common stock to be issued upon conversion, these convertible notes and warrants are reflected at fair value. They are valued using a binomial fair value model upon inception and adjusted accordingly to market at the close of the period. The accounting for the convertible notes and warrants at fair value at the commencement is recorded as a financing expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and their fair value is adjusted each reporting period.
As of February 28, 2014 we adjusted the fair value of the derivatives instruments related to the sale of 9,360,000 units of preferred stock, 9,481,400 warrants and the convertible notes issued. The market price of the common shares as of February 28, 2014 was $0.05. As a result of the revaluation of the derivative instruments and convertible notes on February 28, 2014, the related derivative liabilities and convertible notes at fair value were decreased on an aggregate basis, resulting in other income of $1,368,583 for the three months ended February 28, 2014.
During the three months ended February 28, 2013, total other income consisted of the reversal of a marketing web development fee totaling $15,000 that was no longer an obligation.
Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss)
During the three months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, we had net income and comprehensive income of $280,499 and $10,001, respectively.

As of February 28, 2014 the fair value of the derivatives instruments related to the sale of 9,360,000 units of preferred stock, 9,481,400 warrants and the convertible notes issued were adjusted to reflect current market conditions. The market price of the common shares declined from the initial sale of the instruments in during 2013 and 2014 to a February 28, 2014 share price of $0.05.

Net loss and comprehensive loss
During the period from November 3, 2010 (inception) through February 28, 2014, we had a net loss and comprehensive loss of $3,274,509.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013, we had cash balances of $199,125 and $217,037, respectively. As of February 28, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,520,000 as compared to a working capital of approximately $108,000 at May 31, 2014. Net cash used in operation activities for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 was approximately $2,073,000 as compared to approximately $15,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013. We were able to obtain financing to meet the demands of the business over this time period. We expect to have similar expenses for the next twelve month period. At the present time, we do not have sufficient funds to fund our operations over the next twelve months.
We must raise additional funds or increase revenues in order to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. Even if we are able to raise additional funds through the sale of our equity or debt securities, or loans from our directors or financial institutions, our cash needs could be greater than anticipated in which case we could be forced to raise additional capital. At the present time we are in the process of raising capital, however if we are unable to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable going concern.
Going Concern Consideration
We have experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has net losses for the period from November 3, 2010 (inception) to February 28, 2014 of $3,274,509.
As of February 28, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,520,000. During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2,073,000. We expect to have similar cash needs for the next twelve month period. At the present time, the Company does not have sufficient funds to fund operations over the next twelve months.
Implementation of our business plan will require additional debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. We are in the development stage, and have limited revenues to cover our operating costs. As such, we have incurred an operating loss since inception. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management plans to meet its operating cash flow requirements from financing activities until the future operating activities become sufficient to support the business to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to work on generating operating cash flows from the commercialization of its software platform. Until those cash flows are sufficient the Company will pursue other financing when deemed necessary.
The Company is pursuing a number of different financing opportunities in order to execute its business plan. These include, short term debt arrangements, convertible debt arrangements, common share equity financings, either through a private placement or through the public markets and has engaged a number of investment brokers to assist management in achieving its financing objectives. Since May 31, 2013, the Company has raised approximately $2,055,000 through various financial instruments.
There can be no assurance that the raising of future equity or debt will be successful or that the Company’s anticipated financings will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory to the Company. Failure to achieve the equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may have to cease operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of February 28, 2014 the Company did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, as well as internal control over financial reporting, may not prevent or detect all inaccurate statements or omissions.
Our management, with the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as February 28, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2014 were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended February 28, 2014, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a materially affect, on our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On November 15, 2013, the Company executed and issued a Convertible Promissory Note agreement with JMJ Financial in the principal amount of $500,000, with a $50,000 original issue discount that shall be ratably applied towards payments made by the investor. The agreement was amended on February 11, 2014 and applies retroactively to the date of issuance. The Convertible Promissory Note is due two years from the effective date of each payment. It is interest free if repaid within 90 days and if not paid within 90 days, it bears a one-time interest charge of 12%, which is in addition to the original issue discount. The Company agreed to pay a closing and due diligence fee of 8% of each payment made by the investor which shall be applied to the principal amount of the Convertible Promissory Note. After 90 days from the effective date and until the maturity date the Company may not make further payments on the note without written approval. After 180 days from issuance, the principal and any accrued interest are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the lower of $0.10 per share or 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 days prior to conversion. The note has piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares into which the note is convertible. On February 11, 2014 the Company borrowed an additional $40,000. As of February 28, 2014, the Company had borrowed $105,000 under this agreement.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private placement of the securities referenced herein pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering.
On December 12, 2013 the Company sold an 8% Convertible Note to Asher Enterprises, Inc. in the principal amount of $42,500 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement which was executed on December 4, 2013. The 8% Convertible Note matures on September 6, 2014 and has an interest rate of 8% per annum until it becomes due. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date thereof. The 8% Convertible Notes may be converted into common stock of the Company at any time beginning on the 180th day of the date from issuance. However, it shall not be converted if the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates to own more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Such limitations on conversion may be waived by the Note holder with not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. The conversion price is 61% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private placement of the securities referenced herein pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering.
On December 17, 2013, the Company sold two 8% convertible promissory notes in the amount of $25,000 each to independent accredited investors for a total of $50,000. After deductions for banking fees of $2,500 and legal expenses of $1,500 for each note, the Company received $21,000 for each note for a total of $42,000. The notes mature on September 13, 2014. Each note may be converted into common stock of the Company at any time beginning on the 180th day of the date of the note at a conversion price of 55% of the average prices of the lowest two closing prices on the 10 days prior to conversion pursuant to the requirements of the note. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 24% per annum.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private placement of the securities referenced herein pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering.
On January 29, 2014, February 27, 2014, and April 1, 2014 the Company issued 395, 305 and 469 Units for $395,000, $305,000, and $469,000 respectively, to accredited non-US investors under subscription agreements. The Units, as defined in the subscription agreement, consist of (i) one unsecured 6% convertible promissory note, $1,000 par value, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 share of common stock (individually Series A Warrant); and, (iii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 share of common stock (individually Series B Warrant). The purchase price for each unit is $1,000 and resulted in a funding total of $1,169,000 of which $100,000 represented the partial conversion of an outstanding promissory note resulting in a $100,000 reduction of the principal amount due thereunder.
The Notes mature 24 months from the issuance date and have an interest rate of 6% per annum payable in arrears on the earlier of a default date or the maturity date. The notes may be converted at any time after the original issuance date at the election of their holders to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued interest at a conversion price of $0.10. Under the subscription agreement, the Company has granted price protections provisions that provide the holder with a potential increase in the amount of common stock exchanged or a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the stated exercise price of $0.10. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 16% per annum from the date it is due. The Series A warrants may be exercised for a purchase price equal to $0.15 per share of common stock. The Series B Warrant may be exercised for a purchase price equal to $0.20 per share of common stock.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private placement of the securities referenced herein pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering and in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities since all securities were sold to non-U.S. investors.
The proceeds from these financings were primarily used for working capital and debt repayments.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On February 18, 2014, we announced the appointment of Mr. David Bercovitch as Chief Operating Officer.
David Bercovitch is a serial entrepreneur who has spent the majority of his career building, along with his partner, and then ultimately after 17 years, selling a successful Computer Consulting business called Thoughtcorp. At the time of acquisition, Thoughtcorp was a highly profitable entity (average net income of approximately 12% and an average annual growth rate of approximately 15%) who had approximately 120 staff doing approximately $17M in business. The business was sold for nearly $20M. Thoughtcorp had a range of services, including customer application development, business intelligence and data warehousing, and Agile consulting.

Prior to that, David started his career at ACNielsen, spending 5 years selling and servicing (and eventually managing) their custom built data analytics tools to the Consumer Packaged Goods industry (interestingly, ACNielsen had arguably one of the first Business Intelligence and Multi-Dimensional database tools on the market).
David holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McGill University where he graduated with distinction, and a Master of Business Administration from York University where he graduated with honors.
