INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors of
Trusted Opinion Inc.
 
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Trusted Opinion Inc. (a development-stage enterprise) (the "Company") as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the nine months then ended and for the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management's financial data and making inquiries of the Company's management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.
 
Our responsibility is to conduct the reviews in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report.
 
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has incurred a significant loss in both 2011 and 2010, and as of September 30, 2011, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $2,411,000, and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by approximately $2,073,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010
 
NOTE 1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization and Nature of Operations
Trusted Opinion Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on March 7, 2005 in the state of Delaware and began operations on May 25, 2005.
 
The Company is engaged in the development and marketing of software products and services in the social media and advertising industry. From its inception, the Company was engaged in the development of a social recommendations network website, trustedopinion.com ("TROP"), covering the United States, Asia and Europe, having approximately 1.5 million users worldwide. In 2010, the Company made the decision to refocus its efforts and develop a collection of "white-label" products and services ("Loyalize"), offered to media companies, and to discontinue further development of TROP.
 
The Company's activities since inception have been organizational activities, including recruiting personnel, establishing office facilities, conducting research and development, performing business and financial planning and raising capital. The Company has had minimal operations and generated minimal revenue to date. Accordingly, in connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company is considered to be in the development stage under the authoritative guidance for development stage entities, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 915, and is subject to the risks associated with the activities of development-stage companies.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit and money market accounts that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectibility of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial conditions of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management's assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has made reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Revenue Recognition
The Company derived revenue from TROP by providing a free online service with display advertising. There is no downloadable software, distribution or technology delivered to consumers. Advertising income is recognized in the period it is earned.
 
The Company derived revenue from Loyalize by providing advertising services to customers in connection with social networks, applications, publishing platforms and social games, in the nature of creating specialized brand engagements and promotions on behalf of advertisers and the sale, rendering and delivery of such engagements and promotions to its network. The Company may host the applications, platforms and social games or may provide downloadable software to the customer. Income relating to the services is recognized in the period it is earned.
 
No significant revenue has been earned to date from Loyalize.
 
Prepayment on contracts may be required for specific customers with payment terms. Deferred revenue results from the prepayment of such fees and is recognized as revenue when the revenue is earned based on the terms of the agreement.
 
Software Development Costs
Costs for software developed for internal use are accounted for un accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. FASB ASC 350 requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Such capitalized costs are included in "Capitalized software costs" in the balance sheets. The Company amortizes the costs of internal-use software over two years.
 
Costs that are incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred and included in "Product development costs" in the accompanying statements of operations. Once the capitalization criteria of FASB ASC 350 have been met, external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software, payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to the project (to the extent their time is spent directly on the project) and interest costs incurred in connection with developing the software, are capitalized.
 
The Company accounts for the costs to develop software that it plans to market externally in accordance with FASB ASC 985-20, Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, whereby costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs are capitalized. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. The Company amortizes the costs of software obtained or developed to be sold, leased or marketed over three years.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) through September 30, 2011, software development costs not capitalized, have been charged to "Product development costs" in the accompanying statements of operations.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The costs of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
 
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line and various accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
 
  Computers 3 years
  Equipment
3 years
  Furniture and fixtures
5 years
 
 
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost and are amortized over their useful lives. The costs of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for amortization, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
 
Long-lived Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, capitalized software costs, and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When it is determined that impairment has occurred, a charge to operations will be recorded. Impairment on property and equipment or other intangible assets, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows.
 
The fair value of long-lived assets is determined on a Level 3 basis in which significant unobservable inputs are utilized primarily using the "income approach," which starts with a forecast of all the expected future net cash flows, some of which are more certain than others. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the long-lived asset impairment estimation process include: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows; the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset's life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset.
 
Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2007.
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period

that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non­current based on their characteristics.
 
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Uncertain Tax Positions
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740. Under that guidance, the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. The standard also provides guidance on interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.
 
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Advertising expense totaled $22,198 for the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011.
 
Fair Value Measurements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update amends FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to require new disclosures for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, disaggregation regarding classes of assets and liabilities, valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 or Level 3. These disclosures are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Additional new disclosures regarding the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted certain of the relevant disclosure provisions of ASU 2010-06 on January 1, 2010, and certain other provisions on January 1, 2011.
 
FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Under the new standard, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Fair Value Measurements (continued)
 
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:
 
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and, inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Share-based Compensation Plan
The Company has a share-based compensation plan. This plan is administered by the board of directors to motivate certain employees in the performance of their duties by further compensating these individuals through the grant of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock issued under the Company's 2007 Stock Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Company may grant options for up to a total of 21,298,507 shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option is equal to the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of the options is 10 years and the options vest over a maximum of 4 years from the vesting commencement date, pursuant to the Plan and option grant agreement.
 
The Company has adopted the fair value-based method of accounting prescribed in FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, for its employee stock option plan. The Company applies the Black-Scholes valuation method to compute the estimated fair value of the stock options and recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis so that the award is fully expensed at the vesting date.
 
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance related to subsequent events, which was primarily codified into FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the date of the balance sheet but before financial statements are issued. In particular, the guidance sets forth: (1) the period after the date of the balance sheet during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the date of the balance sheet in its financial statements; and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the date of the balance sheet.

Subsequent Events (continued)
In accordance with FASB ASC 855, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 16, 2012, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued. There were no material subsequent events other than those described in the first paragraph of Note 15 that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.
 
NOTE 2.
GOING CONCERN
 
Since inception, the Company has generated insignificant revenue, has incurred losses from operations and has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $8,860,000. The Company has also been dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its operations. As further described in Note 15, on December 31, 2011, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement for the sale of substantially all of its intellectual property and assets. The Company currently has no source of operating revenue and the amount of capital required to sustain operations is subject to future events and uncertainties. It may be necessary for the Company to secure additional working capital through loans or sales of capital stock, and there can be no assurance that such funding will be available in the Future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis of the continuation of the Company as a going concern and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
   
NOTE 3.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, which may at times be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits, with major financial institutions and attempts to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.
 
As of September 30, 2011, one customer accounted for 93% of the Company's accounts receivable. In 2011, two customers accounted for 100% of the Company's revenues. There was no significant accounts receivable or revenue concentrations in 2010.
   
NOTE 4.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques identified in the tables below. The valuation techniques are as follows:
 
                     (a)
Market approach, Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;
                     (b)
Cost approach. Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and
                     (c)
Income approach. Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

The exercise price of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011, was equal to market value on the date of grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011, options to purchase 14,291,035, 3,908,645 and 20,349,652 shares of common stock, respectively, were granted, including, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, options to acquire 10,972,444 shares of common stock to two members of the Company's board of directors. The options vest over a maximum of 4 years. The options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011, will be fully vested by April 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and April 30, 2015, respectively.
 
The estimated fair value of each stock option award was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN (CONTINUED
 
 
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the yield to maturity on a U.S. Treasury security with a term commensurate to that of the option or warrant being valued. The Company has elected to use the calculated value method to account for the options and warrants granted. A nonpublic entity that is unable to estimate the expected volatility of the price of its underlying share may measure awards based on a "calculated value," which substitutes the volatility of an appropriate index for volatility of the Company's own share price. Currently, there is no active market for the Company's common shares. In addition, management has determined that it is unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the options on the date of grant because the Company has not issued any new common stock for several years and management has not been able to identify a similar publicly held entity that can be used as a benchmark. Therefore, as a substitute for volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of the NYSE Arca Technology Index ("PSE"). The Company assumed that the volatility of the PSE, measured over a historical period commensurate with the term of the option or warrant being valued, is indicative of the future volatility of the Company's stock price. The Company has not paid any dividends since inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. The expected option term of 5 years represents an estimate of the effective term of each option and warrant considering (1) the options are employee stock options that are subject to forfeiture and (2) estimated time horizon until a liquidity event.
 
As share-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of operations is based on stock option awards ultimately expected to vest, such expense should be reduced for estimated forfeitures. The authoritative guidance for compensation under FASB ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has very few employees and the stock options vest periodically; therefore, the Company did not estimate any forfeitures during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011, and the Company adjusts the share-based compensation expense for any forfeitures as they occur.
 
The Company's determination of fair value is affected by the stock price, as well as a number of assumptions that require judgment. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011, were $0.25, $0.30 and $0.25 per share, respectively.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from March 7, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2011, the Company recognized compensation costs relating to vested share-based compensation of $618,919, $95,913 and $1,037,814, respectively. The costs have been charged to operations.
 
In 2007, an employee exercised options to purchase 245,496 shares at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The total purchase price for the shares was $2,456.
 
In 2011, four employees left the Company and forfeited 1,992,556 stock options with fair values, at the time of grant, ranging from of $0.23 - $0.25 per share. Accordingly, the Company reduced its share-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 by $37,605, the portion of the grant that had vested.

OTHER MATTERS
 
 
On December 31, 2011 (the "Closing Date"), the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with an unaffiliated entity (the "Buyer") with respect to the acquisition of substantially all of the Company's assets, consisting primarily of the Company's intellectual property (the Loyalize technology) and various other assets. The purchase price for the transferred intellectual property and other assets was $4,638,815, payable in cash of $3,000,000 and shares of the Buyer's stock valued at $1,638,815 on the Closing Date. As of January 16, 2012, the Company has received consideration of $2,750,000, including cash of $1,500,000 and shares valued at $1,250,000, and the Company expects the remaining balance of the purchase price to be received by January 30, 2012, in accordance with the terms of the asset purchase agreement. If on December 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value of the stock consideration, based on the average closing price of the Buyer's stock for the 20 days preceding December 31, 2012, is not at least $1,838,815, then the Buyer will provide $200,000 of additional consideration to the Company. The additional consideration will be provided in either cash or shares of the Buyer's stock, at the Buyer's discretion, by January 10, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the asset purchase agreement.
 
Pursuant to the Company's employment agreements with various employees, in the event of a change of control, including a sale of substantially all of the Company's assets as discussed above, these employees are entitled to additional compensation as set forth in these agreements.
