Given the uncertainties that surround such statements, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are primarily engaged in the monetization of mobile application software or "Apps" through four revenue generating platforms: (i) development of customized Apps for third parties to monetize their particular intellectual property, persona or brand, (ii) incubation of Apps in partnership with third parties and from a library of more than 75,000 original Apps concept submissions, (iii) sale of advertising and sponsorship opportunities directly to brands via mobile advertising networks, and (iv) acquisition of Apps from other developers and use of a proprietary application programming interface, or API, to make Apps recommendations for our user base.
Share Exchange
On June 24, 2011, we completed a share exchange pursuant to which we acquired all of the capital stock of MEDL Mobile, Inc., a California corporation ("MEDL"), which became our wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with this share exchange, we discontinued our former business and succeeded to the business of MEDL as our sole line of business. The share exchange is accounted for as a recapitalization. MEDL is the acquirer for accounting purposes and we are the acquired company. Accordingly, MEDL's historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition have become those of the Registrant retroactively restated for, and giving effect to, the number of shares received in the share exchange. The accumulated earnings of MEDL were also carried forward after the acquisition. Operations reported for periods prior to the share exchange are those of MEDL.
Inedible Acquisition
On February 28, 2012, we acquired Inedible Software, LLC ("Inedible"), a developer of mobile apps and related mobile app technologies whose principal asset was a customer list. While the acquisition of Inedible was structured as a purchase of an entity, we did not acquire any ongoing business operations and the purpose of the transaction was to acquire Inedible's customer list as a conduit to Apple for future potential. As a result, Inedible became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The results of operations of Inedible are included on a going forward basis from the date of acquisition, although Inedible is no longer actively engaged in any business activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to investment tax credits, bad debts, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Any amounts of cash in financial institutions over FDIC insured limits, expose us to cash concentration risk.
Revenue Recognition
Our main source of revenue is from the development of custom applications or "Apps" for customers. We use a hybrid method for recognizing revenue that includes elements from both ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition and ASC 605-35, Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.
We recognize revenues in accordance with ASC 985-605 when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Nonrecurring revenues related to perpetual license sale with multiple elements are recognized in accordance with the guidance on software revenue recognition.
When the arrangement with a customer includes significant production, modification, or customization of the software, we recognize the related revenue using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the accounting guidance and certain production-type contracts contained in ASC 605-35. We use the percentage of completion method provided all of the following conditions exist:
• the contract includes provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement;
• the customer can be expected to satisfy its obligations under the contract;
• the Company can be expected to perform its contractual obligations; and
• reliable estimates of progress towards completion can be made.
We measure completion based on achieving milestones detailed in the agreements with the customers. Costs of providing services, including services accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-35, are expensed as incurred.
The following is an example of how revenue is recognized involving an
arrangement with a customer that includes significant production, modification,
or customization of the software: a typical project will require between 50-100
working days from beginning to end. On average 25-50 cumulative working days
are expended prior to the start of development and this work typically includes,
design, storyboards, and architecture. Prior to developing the App, hard costs
are incurred as a number of variables are taken into account for preparation.
Those often include the following:
• understanding the client's business situation and environment, including their competitive landscape;
• researching and establishing the goals of the App;
• understanding and researching the target and potential App use cases;
• developing a monetization strategy;
• determining functionality and articulating the functionality through a storyboard and functional specification document; and
• determining the resources and timeline needed to complete the final work product.
Therefore, since significant work has been undertaken by us, we typically receive a non-refundable payment of up to fifty (50%) percent of the proposed project contract at the time that the contract is signed or soon thereafter. The revenue is recognized at this point in time. Another twenty five (25%) percent of the contract is typically billable per stated terms of the contract and revenue is recognized at that time, typically upon release of beta version of the App. Upon completion of the App to the client typically the remaining twenty five (25%) percent is billed to the client and recognized as revenue to us.
We also generate revenue from the sale of Apps through the Apple store and other App marketplaces. This revenue is recognized in the period the App is sold to the end user on an accrual basis.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes . Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods 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 tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that the recoverability of the asset is unlikely to be recognized. We follow ASC 740 rules governing uncertain tax positions, which provides guidance for recognition and measurement. This prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognition, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Under ASC 740-10-25 recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions is required using a "more-likely-than-not" approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.
Research and Development
We incur costs on activities that relate to research and development of new technology and products. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure , for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that require the use of fair value measurements which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC-820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are
corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market
data, which require the use of the reporting entity's own
assumptions.
|
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of this instrument.
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 (formerly SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ), we assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets were comprised of website assets. Factors we consider to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When we determine that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, we record an impairment charge. We measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.
Stock Based Compensation
We apply ASC 718-10 and ASC 505-50 (formerly SFAS 123R) in accounting for stock options issued to employees. The amount of compensation cost for share-based payments is measured based upon the fair value on the grant date of the equity instruments issued. For stock options issued to non-employees, we apply the same standard.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased to $1,118,232 as compared to $705,028 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $413,204 or 59%. The increase is primarily attributable to growth of our customer base through our direct sales efforts. The revenue increase was driven by the demand for the development of customized mobile applications for third parties to monetize their particular intellectual property, persona or brand. Specifically, there has been significant growth in the demand for mobile applications with a limited supply of qualified developers available to meet the demand. Based upon our success with past clients, we have become a preferred vendor in long-term relationships with some of our larger customers, yielding organic revenue growth. In addition, our services have expanded resulting in increased project fees. Historically, we have been tasked to develop mobile front-end applications. However, more recently we have worked on more expansive projects including back-end development and website development, as well as marketing and monetization strategies.
Based on the unpredictability of market and customer demand, we cannot accurately predict revenue trends on a quarter to quarter basis.

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
Our business is still in the early stages, having commenced operations on March 4, 2009. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had cash of $944,034 and $1,075,307, respectively and working capital of $627,830 and $1,281,354, respectively.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,542,025 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $681,604 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the $1,973,235 net loss for the period versus a net loss of only $483,906 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $77,524 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $61,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was attributable to fixed asset purchases. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,488,276 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2,459,466 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of $1,485,000 of net proceeds from a private placement described below that closed on March 28, 2012.
To date we have financed our operations through internally generated revenue from operations, the sale of our equity, the issuance of notes and loans from a shareholder.
In connection with the closing of the share exchange on June 24, 2011, we sold 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share in a private placement to accredited investors, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000 (including the exchange of bridge notes in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000).
On March 28, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor whereby we sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 units (the "Units"), each Unit comprised of three shares of our common stock and a warrant . . .
