Overview
We are an e-commerce service provider engaged in the development of software products and other services designed to help businesses sell products over the internet.
We developed two software products: ShopFast Direct Shopping Database (TM) ("ShopFast DSD"), and ShopFast Profit Center (TM) ("ShopFast PC"). Each of these software products enables the user of the software to create an internet website from which such user can sell products located on a database maintained by us (the "OLB Database").
The products that we plan to distribute over the next year which will account for most of our business are as follows:
· ShopFast PC
· ShopFast DSD
· GHM Connect
· GHM Benefits
· Gift and Home Channel
There are a number of trends in the e-commerce/direct response marketing industry, the most significant of which is the trend toward integrated marketing strategies. Integrated marketing campaigns involve not only advertising, but also sales promotions, internal communications, public relations, social networking, and other disciplines. The objective of integrated marketing is to promote our products and services.
Price is no longer the sole motivator of purchasing behavior for our potential customers. With the availability of similar products from multiple sources, customers are increasingly looking for distributors who provide a tangible value-added service to their products. As a result, we provide a broad range of products and related services. Specifically, we will provide research and consultancy services, artwork and design services, and fulfillment services to our customers. These services will be provided in-house as well as outsourced by our current suppliers.
Our plan of operation is to launch the marketing of the software component of our ShopFast PC product in the fourth quarter of 2012, to produce a 30 minute infomercial to promote this product, as well as a short form two minute commercial after completing the longer infomercial, depending on the funds available to the Company for such purposes. We intend to run the advertisements for a period of time and to use focus groups to determine the prices at which we can obtain the highest level of reseller orders and then to launch a full scale media campaign. If the ratio of media spending to product orders is at least $1.50 return in orders on $1.00 spent on advertising, we would continue such advertising. Otherwise, we would consider alternatives to the advertising methods tried. After adjustments to the marketing plan and getting a satisfactory return rate on the media expenditures, we intend to launch a nationwide television distribution campaign.
The purchase of the intangible assets in the prior year fits into the company's overall e-commerce strategy and future revenue growth.
We are currently redesigning ShopFast PC so that the Internet Storefront can be created by a client having limited computer expertise without our assistance. In previous versions of ShopFast DSD, the Internet Storefront would have had to have been created by an administrator employed by us. We are redesigning ShopFast PC so that the client can create the Internet Storefront on the client's own, in the following five steps:
Step 1: Choose the categories of items to be sold on the store.
Step 2: Design the store by choosing layouts, fonts, colors and a logo.
Step 3: Personalize the store by adding descriptive text
Step 4: Account information to facilitate payments for the store subscription as well as payment of commissions
Step 5: Final store confirmation and immediate store generation.
If we successfully test our Mobile commerce applications and product, we are then planning to develop or acquire additional products to complement the new mobile commerce products. We anticipate that we will also need to make expenditures in the following areas: to expand our existing ecommerce platform and replace some of the existing hardware and servers to service the volume of transactions we anticipate; and to add more marketing and administrative personnel, although our initial plan is to outsource significant services to third party providers. The additional products to be developed and/or acquired have not yet been identified, but are expected to be the result of requests by clients and/or their customers for additional functionality, services, payment methods and/or product availability.
We are currently in the final stages of our quality assurance phase for our new ShopFast Mobile POS software, which is based on a different design platform than the prior versions, allowing it to operate faster and under all computer operating systems that can fully support all internet browsers.
In addition to our ShopFast products we offer an extended service which allows our customers to obtain health-related discount benefit plans which are included as part of the ShopFast program. These healthcare insurance programs are generally renewable monthly and include elements sold through contracts with third-party providers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company used $75,896 of cash for operating activities and received $75,051 from financing activities.
The financial statements as of June 30, 2012 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern through December 31, 2012. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued their report on the December 31, 2011 financial statements that included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will require a need to obtain additional financing. The Company's primary source of financing in the past consisted of loans from its Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder, Ronny Yakov. Although Mr. Yakov has provided financing in the past, he has no binding commitment to continue such financing. More recently the company has been able to fund its operations from revenue, stockholders' loans and the sale of common stock.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues will be recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is accounted for in accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB ASC 605, reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since our company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Our company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred.
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
As a rule, a majority of revenue for The Company is recognized when actual collection of cash occurs. This is true for License revenue paid in full, Advanced Solutions revenue and Subscription revenue. Our License revenue on payment plans allows for customers to pay over time in installments and is recognized upon delivery of the product at the present value of the installment payment stream.
Costs are recorded at the time the related revenue is recorded. Payment processing costs are recorded in the period the costs are incurred and customer acquisition costs are comprised primarily of telemarketing costs and service costs and other additional benefit services.
Membership Fees
The Company recognizes revenues from membership fees for the sales of
health-related discount benefit plans as earned as part of the ShopFast program.
These arrangements are generally renewable monthly and revenue is recognized
over the renewal period. As these products often include elements sold through
contracts with third-party providers, the Company considers each contractual
arrangement in accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB ASC
605. The Company's current contracts meet these requirements for reporting
revenue on a gross basis. The Company records a reduction in revenue for
refunds, chargeback's from credit card companies, and allowances based upon
actual history and management's evaluation of current facts and circumstances.
Commissions
The Company will pay commissions for its sales of third-party products. Commissions are recognized as products are sold and services performed and the Company has accomplished all activities necessary to complete the earnings process.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis over two years. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.
