NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FNDS3000 Corp (the “Company”, FNDS3000”, “we”, “our” or “us”) and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. Therefore, they include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2008 of FNDS3000 Corp which was filed on December 8, 2008.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements present the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and cash flows of FNDS3000 Corp and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of May 31, 2009 and the results of operations and cash flows presented herein have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.

Our fiscal year ends on August 31 of the applicable calendar year. All references to fiscal periods apply to our fiscal quarters or year which ends on the last day of the calendar month end.

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2 – Formation, Background and Operations of the Company

Corporate History

FNDS3000 Corp was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on January 24, 2006. The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31 st .

We are headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

On March 28, 2008, the Company, with written consent of the board of directors as well as the consent of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock amended the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to FNDS3000 Corp from FundsTech Corp.

Summary of Business

We are a financial transaction processing company that provides prepaid debit cards to third parties in cooperation with financial institutions in South Africa.

Europe, Middle East, and Africa Operating Unit

We have installed our first prepaid debit card-issuing platform. In September 2008, after the completion of all necessary certifications, we launched our first payroll card program in South Africa via a pilot test phase. This phase is now in the final stages of completion and results to-date have been encouraging. Our recent private placement should fund the Company through the final Volume Testing Phase and on to production roll-out during the remainder of 2009.

The issuing of our initial Diamond Cash Card is a significant milestone in our corporate history. Our major strategic objective was to install our prepaid card-issuing platform in Johannesburg, South Africa to serve as a launching pad for tapping into the expanding unbanked or under-banked markets. The prepaid platform will service South Africa and we will evaluate expansion to other African and Middle Eastern countries. The introduction of our prepaid card solution complements the South African Government’s drive toward the economic advancement of previously disadvantaged communities.

On March 1, 2009, we invested in our infrastructure in South Africa by signing a five-year lease for a new South African operations center with enhanced information technology and this will provide ample support for full market implementation of our prepaid card programs in South Africa and beyond.

Americas Operating Unit

In July 2008, we acquired the assets of Atlas Merchant Services, Inc., an Atlanta-based company, that markets debit and credit card programs to merchants and employers throughout the United States. At the time of acquisition, the company was generating approximately $1 million in annual revenue.

As we progressed with our South African business, we found no synergy between overseas debit card operations and US merchant services. Management recognized that the two companies would fare better under separate ownership.

During March 2009, FNDS3000 Corp and Victor Geber, the owner of Atlas Merchant Services, Inc. commenced negotiations to enter into a transaction which would allow Mr. Gerber to purchase Atlas Merchant Services, LLC from the Company.

On May 14, 2009, the Company and Atlas Merchant Services LLC entered into a Settlement/Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Gerber Settlement Agreement”) with Victor F. Gerber and Atlas Merchant Services, Inc. (the “Gerber Parties”), pursuant to which the Company and the Gerber Parties agreed to the following:

 

   

In consideration for the sale of the all of the outstanding membership interests of Atlas LLC by the Company to Atlas Inc., all obligations under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2008, by and between the Company and Atlas Inc. (the “Purchase Agreement”) are terminated and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability under the Purchase Agreement.

 

   

In consideration for the payment of $30,000 by the Company to the Gerber Parties, that certain employment agreement, dated July 1, 2008, by and between the Company and Mr. Gerber (the “Gerber Employment Agreement”) is terminated and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability under the Gerber Employment Agreement.

 

   

Atlas Inc. and Mr. Gerber agreed that they are selling their entire equity ownership of the Company to Sherington Holdings, LLC, a significant investor in the Company. Raymond Goldsmith, the Chairman of the Company, is the Chairman and CEO of Sherington Holdings, LLC. The Company waived any right of first refusal it may have pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in connection with such sale.

 

   

Mr. Gerber and Company agreed that they would enter into a consulting agreement, effective July 1, 2009, pursuant to which Mr. Gerber will provide consulting services to the Company in consideration for five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) per month. The initial term of this consulting agreement shall be through December 31, 2009 but either party may terminate for any reason whatsoever on or after October 31, 2009.

 

   

The Company agreed that in the event that as of October 30, 2009, the market value of the Company’s common stock is less than $0.43 per share, the Company shall promptly deliver to Mr. Gerber an amount equal to the Shortfall. The “Shortfall” shall mean the excess of $0.43 over the market value of the Company’s common stock multiplied by 883,721. The market value of the Company’s common stock is the average publicly trade price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the ten business days ending October 30, 2009.

 

   

The Company agreed that for a period of one year from the date of the Gerber Settlement Agreement, it will not solicit any customer of Atlas Inc. for the purpose of offering the following services to such customers: (1) processing merchant transactions through third party processors (2) processing cash advances to merchants or (3) providing GVPN services.

 

   

Each of the parties mutual released the other party from all claims except as set forth in the Gerber Settlement Agreement.

Based upon information available at the time, an estimated loss of $836,000 and was recognized in the financial statements as reported for the six and three months ended February 28, 2009. As of May 14, 2009, the loss was revised to approximately $738,000 for the sale of Atlas (See Note 9).

Products and Services

Prepaid Debit Card – South Africa

Employers can use our products in lieu of cash to pay employees. Our prepaid debit cards can be utilized by employers for distribution to their employees who are then able to receive employment earnings by direct deposit onto our prepaid debit card. Employees are able to use the card to access cash through ATMs or purchase products and services wherever debit cards are accepted. Domestic and international ‘money transfers’ are also key features of our solution.

Table of Contents

We market our prepaid debit cards predominantly under the Diamond Cash Card name or under the names of our business partners in South Africa.

Card Associations: MasterCard

Card associations sponsor certain types of card programs. In December 2008, we announced that we are the first and only non-South African third party processing company to be certified by MasterCard in South Africa. This provides access to the network of financial institutions and linked ATM’s and POS systems through an arrangement among banks, transaction processors and MasterCard.

Employees

As of May 31, 2009, our company was operated by John Hancock, our Chief Executive Officer; John Watson, our Executive Vice President; Joseph McGuire, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer; Victoria Vaksman, our Executive Vice President of Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Joe Tumbarello, our Chief Operating Officer. The Company has approximately 20 full time employees. We intend to periodically hire independent contractors to execute our marketing, sales, and business development functions. Our company will hire employees when circumstances warrant. As we have begun processing operations in South Africa, we did increase our staff in South Africa with operational, administrative, customer service and IT personnel.

Note 3 – Going Concern

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses in excess of $10,000,000 from operations since our inception. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through privately placed equity financing, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing. Finally, we expect that operating revenues from the sales of our products and other related revenues will increase.

However, there can be no assurance that our plans discussed above will materialize and/or that we will be successful in funding our estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital and/or any cash generated by our operations. These factors, among others, indicate that there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FNDS3000 Corp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: FndsTech Corp. SA. (PTY), Atlas Merchant Services, LLC (includes activity through the sale date of May, 14, 2009), and Transaction Data Management, Inc., which is inactive. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain items may be reclassified in the 2008 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2009 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain 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. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements arise from our belief that we will secure an adequate amount of cash to continue as a going concern, that our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover potential losses in our receivable portfolio, and that all long-lived assets are recoverable.

In addition, the determination and valuation of stock options granted to employees and officers is a significant estimate. The markets for our products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development, evolving

standards, short product life cycles and price competition, all of which could impact the future realization of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes receivable and payable. These financial instruments are stated at their respective carrying values, which approximate their fair values.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

We will generate the following types of revenue as new business is developed:

 

   

Issuance fees, which arise from sales of our debit cards.

 

   

Transaction fees, which arise from the use, loading and reloading of cash for debit cards.

 

   

Maintenance fees, which arise from charges for keeping the cards active.

 

   

Financial float fees, which arise from cash obtained with the instant load of cash and convenience of debit cards before the funds are used.

In general, our revenue recognition policy for fees and services arising from our products is consistent with the criteria set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” for determining when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. In accordance with the requirements of SAB 104, we recognize revenue when, (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility of the receivables is reasonably assured. More specifically, issuance fee revenue for our stored-value cards are recognized when shipped, transaction fee revenue is recognized when the transaction is recorded, maintenance and financial float fees revenue are recognized when the products are used. Consulting fees are recognized as work is performed and per contractual terms with the customer. Costs of revenue, including the cost of printing the prepaid cards, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s accounts receivable arise from the sale of cards and for application and set-up fees. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payment is not made in accordance with the terms of our contracts and receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible.

We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy. The level of the allowance account, and related bad debts are based upon our review of the collectibility of our receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Inventories

Inventories will consist of non-activated debit cards and will be valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management will periodically review the available card and will, should it be deemed necessary, provide a reserve to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. Certain factors could impact the realizable value of inventory, so management will continually evaluate the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration expected demand, new product development, the effect new products might have on the sale of existing products, product obsolescence, and other factors. Should a reserve, or write-down, exist, it is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required. If actual market conditions are more favorable, reserves or write-downs may be reversed. As of May 31, 2009, we have no inventory.

Property and Equipment

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:

 

Category

  

Useful Lives

Computers and networks    3 years
Machinery and equipment    5-7 years
Furniture and fixtures    5-7 years
Office equipment    3-10 years
Leasehold improvements    Lesser of lease term or useful life of asset

Major additions will be capitalized, while minor additions and maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, will be expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment

SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets in question may not be recoverable.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets or whether the remaining balance of long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment.

We assessed the impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, specifically the software acquired during the acquisition of Atlas, and that review indicated that the fair value was less than the carrying value. As of August 31, 2008, the software was considered to be impaired and we recorded an impairment charge in our income statement.

Additionally, as a result of negotiations to sell the Atlas subsidiary, we concluded that the carrying amount of our investment in Atlas exceeded its fair value and we recognized an estimated impairment charge of $836,000 in the quarter ended February 28, 2009.

Net Earnings or (Loss) Per Share

We compute net earnings or loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” and the SEC’s SAB 98. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss for the period by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

Basic net loss per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. The number of shares used in the computation is 30,193,091 and 14,292,044 for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008, respectively. Diluted net loss per common share is not presented as the effect of conversion is anti-dilutive.

Purchased and Developed Software

Purchased and developed software includes the costs to purchase third-party software and to develop internal-use software for sale. The Company follows the guidance in Statement of Position No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” (“SOP 98-1”) for capitalizing software projects. Off-the-shelf software costs are amortized over the expected economic life of the product, generally three years. The software related to the GCC license, which has been modified to meet our needs, will be amortized over seven years as it is anticipated that the software will continue to grow with our needs.

Equity - Based Compensation

We have adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified prospective application transition method. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), we recognize stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. The Company issues stock as compensation for services at the current market fair value for our common stock.

 

10


Table of Contents

We account for equity instruments issued for services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock based compensation was determined using the fair value of the services performed due to the lack of historical fair value of the equity instruments.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the share-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment to SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative financial instruments be disclosed in terms of the underlying risk and accounting designation. Additionally, SFAS 161 requires that the fair value of derivative financial instruments and their gains and losses be presented in tabular format in order to present a more complete picture of the effects of using derivative financial instruments. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.

Our use of a derivative instrument is limited to a guarantee included in the Settlement/Membership Interest Purchase Agreement for the sale of Victor F. Gerber and Atlas Merchant Services, Inc. in which the Company agreed that in the event that as of October 30, 2009, the market value of the Company’s common stock is less than $0.43 per share, the Company shall promptly deliver to Mr. Gerber an amount equal to the Shortfall. The “Shortfall” shall mean the excess of $0.43 over the market value of the Company’s common stock multiplied by 883,721. The market value of the Company’s common stock is the average publicly trade price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the ten business days ending October 30, 2009. The Company has recorded a loss and accrued a contingent liability of $182,930 as of May 31, 2009. However, as this value will vary with the market value of our stock, should our stock price increase from its value at May 31, 2009, both the loss and the liability will be reduced and, conversely, should it decrease, an additional loss and liability will be recognized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company includes fair value information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made, which is the case for financial instruments outstanding as of May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008. The Company assumes the book value of those financial instruments that are classified as current approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. For non-current financial instruments, the Company uses quoted market prices or, to the extent that there are no available quoted market prices, market prices for similar instruments.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of the FNDS3000 South Africa operations are measured using the parent’s currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Income statement accounts, with the exception of amortized assets or liabilities, are translated at the average exchange rate during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in exchange gain or loss in the income statement. Gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the calculation of net income/(loss).

Income Taxes

We compute income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS 109, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Significant temporary differences arise from accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are not deductible for tax reporting until they are paid, and accounts receivable, less deferred revenues, that are not recognized as revenue for tax and reporting purposes until we receive payment.

For the period January 24, 2006 (inception) to May 31, 2009, the Company incurred net operating losses in an amount exceeding the net income. However, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of this deferred tax asset. At May 31, 2009, the Company had in excess of $10,000,000 of federal and state net operating losses allocated to continuing operations available. The net operating loss carry forward, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2024.

For financial reporting purposes based upon continuing operations, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception.

Note 5 – Recent Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “Subsequent Events.” The objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets forth:

 

  1. The period after the balance sheet date 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 balance sheet date in its financial statements.

 

  3. The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.

In accordance with this Statement, an entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. This Statement should be applied to the accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events. This Statement does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that provide different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. This Statement would apply to both interim financial statements and annual financial statements.

The Company does not believe that the adoption of this Statement will have a material effect on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a revision and replacement of SFAS 141 (“SFAS 141R”), “Business Combinations,” to increase the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” but, retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used and an acquirer be identified for all business combinations. SFAS 141R expands the definition of a business and of a business combination and establishes how the acquirer is to: (1) recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired company; (2) recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (3) determine what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is applicable to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 141R will impact the Company only if it elects to enter into a business combination.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”, which is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require:

 

   

The ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity.

The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF 06-11, “Accounting for the Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.” See discussion of Income Taxes above.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which is an elective, irrevocable election to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The election may only be applied at specified election dates and to instruments in their entirety rather than to portions of instruments. Upon initial election, the entity reports the difference between the instruments’ carrying value and their fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. At each subsequent reporting date, an entity reports in earnings, unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption of SFAS 159 is permitted provided the entity also elects to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 as of the early adoption date selected for SFAS 159. The Company has elected not to adopt the provisions of SFAS 159 at this time.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expanding disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. It clarifies the extent to which fair value is used to measure recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of certain measurements on earnings for the period. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is applied on a prospective basis. On February 6, 2008, the FASB announced it will issue a FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) to allow a one-year deferral of adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The FSP will also amend SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements. The FSP is expected to be issued in the near future. The Company does not believe adoption of this standard will have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and requires that a Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions

A receivable was established because the Company has paid certain operating expenses on behalf of a related party. The balance at May 31, 2008 was $27,163. Subsequently, this balance was paid in full and, although we have funded additional expenses, it has been minimal and has been paid in full.

Reimbursement for travel expenses which the company owes to various employees and members of management is approximately $14,600. Also, we owe Sherington Holdings LLC (“Sherington”), a shareholder of the Company, approximately $152,500 which represents travel-related expenses incurred by the Company.

On October 29, 2008, we entered into the Original Agreement with Sherington for the “October 2008 Note” in the principal amount of $320,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Original Agreement, the Company and Sherington closed on the sale and purchase of the October 2008 Note on October 31, 2008. The October 2008 Note bears interest at 10%, matures December 31, 2008 and is convertible into the Company’s common stock, at Sherington’s option, at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. The Company may only redeem the October 2008 Note with the written consent of Sherington. In the event that the Company issues securities at a price below the conversion price, then the conversion price shall be reduced by a weighted average. As of October 29, 2008, the Company is obligated on the October 2008 Note issued to Sherington. The October 2008 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business which constitute a direct financial obligation of the Company. Until the sale of Atlas on May 14, 2009, the Company’s obligations under the October 2008 Note were secured by all of the assets of Atlas Merchant Services LLC as well as the membership interest of Atlas Merchant Services LLC held by the Company. As a provision of the sale of Atlas, Sherington released its lien on both the Atlas assets and the membership interest in Atlas.

On December 1, 2008, we entered into the Amended Agreement with Sherington, which amended the Original Agreement. The Amended Agreement provided for an increase in the principal amount of indebtedness subject to the Amended Agreement from $320,000 to $1,000,000. On December 1, 2008, the Company issued the December 2008 Note and the December 2008 Note replaced the October 2008 Note, and the October 2008 Note was cancelled. Pursuant to the Amended Agreement and the December 2008 Note, Sherington provided an additional $680,000 in funding on December 1, 2008, resulting in total funding of $1,000,000. Interest of approximately $49,000 has been accrued as of May 31, 2009.

On July 1, 2009, the Company sold 5,714,286 shares of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) and related common stock purchase warrants to various accredited investors at a per share purchase price of $0.175 representing gross proceeds of $1,000,000 as more fully detailed below.

July 2009 Financing with Sherington

On July 1, 2009, to obtain funding for the development of the business, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Sherington June 2009 Purchase Agreement”) with Sherington Holdings, LLC (“Sherington”) pursuant to which Sherington purchased 2,857,143 shares of Common Stock (the “Sherington Purchased Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.175 per share and (ii) a warrant, to purchase 2,857,143 shares of Common Stock (the “Sherington New Warrant”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000.

The Sherington New Warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance (the “Exercise Period”) at an initial exercise price of $0.20 per share. Notwithstanding the Exercise Period, if at any time the average closing price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exceeds $1.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or more, the Company shall have the right, upon written notice to Sherington, to reduce the exercise period of the Sherington New Warrant to a period of thirty (30) days beginning on the date of the written notice. The exercise price of the Sherington New Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Sherington June 2009 Purchase Agreement, the Company and Sherington entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amended Registration Rights Amendment”), which amended that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of January 6, 2009, by and between the Company and Sherington (the “Original Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, the Company expanded the definition of Shares (as defined in the Amended Registration Rights Agreement) to include, among other things, the Sherington Purchased Shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Sherington New Warrant.

Furthermore, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Sherington June 2009 Purchase Agreement the Company and Sherington and certain other holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Voting Agreement (the “Amended Voting Agreement”), which amended that certain Voting Agreement dated as of December 1, 2008, by and among the Company, Sherington, and certain holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as identified therein (the “Original Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Voting Agreement, the parties extended the term of the Voting Agreement to December 31, 2010.

The securities were offered and sold to Sherington in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. Sherington is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

July 2009 Financing with Accredited Investors

On July 1, 2009, to obtain funding for the development of the business, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “June 2009 Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors (the “July 2009 Investors”) pursuant to which the July 2009 Investors purchased, in the aggregate, 2,857,143 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.175 per share and (ii) a warrant, to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,857,143 shares of Common Stock (the “July 2009 Warrant”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000. The July 2009 Investors include the following parties: John Hancock, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, purchased 262,857 shares of Common Stock and received a July 2009 Warrant to purchase 262,857 shares of Common Stock. Joseph F. McGuire, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, purchased 262,857 shares of Common Stock and received a July 2009 Warrant to purchase 262,857 shares of Common Stock.

Company’s Executive Vice President and Director, purchased 262,857 shares of Common Stock and received a July 2009 Warrant to purchase 262,857 shares of Common Stock and Pierre Besuchet, a director of the Company, purchased 600,000 shares of Common Stock and received a July 2009 Warrant to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock.

The July 2009 Warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance (the “Exercise Period”) at an initial exercise price of $0.20 per share. Notwithstanding the Exercise Period, if at any time the average closing price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exceeds $1.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or more, the Company shall have the right, upon written notice to the holder, to reduce the exercise period of the July 2009 Warrant to a period of thirty (30) days beginning on the date of the written notice. The exercise price of the July 2009 Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

The securities were offered and sold to the July 2009 Investors in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. The July 2009 Investors are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Amendment to December 2008 Financing Documents

On July 1, 2009, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “First Amended Agreement”) with Sherington, which amended the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement entered by and between the Company and Sherington on December 1, 2008 (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement provided for a decrease in the minimum number of card sales required to be sold in South Africa from 150,000 prior to July 31, 2009 to 100,000 on or prior to September 30, 2009.

On November 21, 2007, FNDS3000 made a down payment and entered into a Software License Agreement (the “License”) with World Processing, Ltd to allow FNDS3000 to provide a software platform for electronic payment and transaction processing.

During the year ended August 31, 2008, a total of $950,000 of the license fee was paid and an additional $97,438 of other developmental fees were capitalized.

The balance payable of $550,000 on the note as of August 31, 2008 has been paid off in three payments: $100,000 on November 30, 2008; $100,000 on December 2, 2008 and $350,000 on January 9, 2009.

Because the Company was in the process of negotiating the sale of its interest in Atlas LLC back to Mr. Gerber and Atlas Merchant Services, Inc., the $250,000 due March 31, 2009 was not paid and the fair value of the $750,000 note payable was eliminated as part of the settlement.

The Amended Agreement provided for a decrease in the minimum number of card sales required to be sold in South Africa from 150,000 prior to July 31, 2009 to 100,000 on or prior to September 30, 2009.

As our South Africa business operations developed, we found no synergy between overseas debit card operations and US merchant services. Management recognized that the two companies would fare better under separate ownership. As a result, we entered into an agreement which would allow Mr. Gerber to purchase Atlas Merchant Services, LLC from the Company and the sale was finalized May 14, 2009.

The consideration received on the sale of Atlas is $723,549, the present value of the initial purchase loan as of May 14, 2009.

In settlement of Mr. Gerber’s employment agreement, the Company paid a lump-sum payment of $30,000.

Additionally, as part of the agreement to sell Atlas, LLC back to Mr. Gerber, the Company supported a guarantee by Mr. Gerber to one shareholder with respect to its stock performance. The Company agreed that in the event that as of October 30, 2009, the market value of the Company’s common stock is less than $0.43 per share, the Company would pay to Mr. Gerber an amount equal to the excess of $0.43 over the market value of the Company’s common stock multiplied by 883,721. The market value of the Company’s common stock is the average publicly trade price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the ten business days ending October 30, 2009. The Company has recorded a loss and accrued a contingent liability of $182,930 as of May 31, 2009. However, as this value will vary with the market value of our stock, should our stock price increase from its value at May 31, 2009, both the loss and the liability will be reduced and, conversely, should it decrease, an additional loss and liability will be recognized.

July 2009 Financing with Sherington

On July 1, 2009, to obtain funding for the development of the business, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Sherington June 2009 Purchase Agreement”) with Sherington Holdings, LLC (“Sherington”) pursuant to which Sherington purchased 2,857,143 shares of Common Stock (the “Sherington Purchased Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.175 per share and (ii) a warrant, to purchase 2,857,143 shares of Common Stock (the “Sherington New Warrant”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000.

The Sherington New Warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance (the “Exercise Period”) at an initial exercise price of $0.20 per share. Notwithstanding the Exercise Period, if at any time the average closing price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exceeds $1.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or more, the Company shall have the right, upon written notice to Sherington, to reduce the exercise period of the Sherington New Warrant to a period of thirty (30) days beginning on the date of the written notice. The exercise price of the Sherington New Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Sherington June 2009 Purchase Agreement, the Company and Sherington entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amended Registration Rights Amendment”), which amended that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of January 6, 2009, by and between the Company and Sherington (the “Original Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, the Company expanded the definition of Shares (as defined in the Amended Registration Rights Agreement) to include, among other things, the Sherington Purchased Shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Sherington New Warrant.

Furthermore, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Sherington June 2009 Purchase Agreement the Company and Sherington and certain other holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Voting Agreement (the “Amended Voting Agreement”), which amended that certain Voting Agreement dated as of December 1, 2008, by and among the Company, Sherington, and certain holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as identified therein (the “Original Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Voting Agreement, the parties extended the term of the Voting Agreement to December 31, 2010.

The securities were offered and sold to Sherington in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. Sherington is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

The July 2009 Warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date of issuance (the “Exercise Period”) at an initial exercise price of $0.20 per share. Notwithstanding the Exercise Period, if at any time the average closing price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exceeds $1.00 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or more, the Company shall have the right, upon written notice to the holder, to reduce the exercise period of the July 2009 Warrant to a period of thirty (30) days beginning on the date of the written notice. The exercise price of the July 2009 Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

The securities were offered and sold to the July 2009 Investors in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D, thereunder. The July 2009 Investors are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Amendment to December 2008 Financing Documents

On July 1, 2009, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “First Amended Agreement”) with Sherington, which amended the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement entered by and between the Company and Sherington on December 1, 2008 (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement provided for a decrease in the minimum number of card sales required to be sold in South Africa from 150,000 prior to July 31, 2009 to 100,000 on or prior to September 30, 2009. In connection with the First Amended Agreement, on July 1, 2009, the Company (i) issued that certain Second Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “July 2009 Note”) and the July 2009 Note replaced the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note issued to Sherington on December 1, 2008 (the “December 2008 Note”) and the December 2008 Note was cancelled and (ii) issued that certain Second Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “July 2009 Warrant”) and the July 2009 Warrant replaced the warrant issued to Sherington on January 6, 2009 (the “January 2009 Sherington Warrant”) and the January 2009 Warrant was cancelled.

The July 2009 Note bears interest at 10% and matures on the earliest of the close of business on December 31, 2009 or upon or after the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the July 2009 Note). The July 2009 Note is convertible into the Company’s common stock, at Sherington’s option, at an initial conversion price of $0.175 per share. The conversion price of the July 2009 Note is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. The Company may only redeem the July 2009 Note with the written consent of Sherington.

As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated on the July 2009 Note. The July 2009 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. Under the Amended Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the December 2008 Note were secured by all of the assets of Atlas Merchant Services LLC (“Atlas”), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as well as 100% of the membership interest of Atlas. Since the Company is no longer the owner of Atlas, in connection with the First Amended Agreement, the Company and Sherington entered into that certain security agreement, dated July 1, 2009, pursuant to which the Company’s obligations under the July 2009 Note are secured by all the assets of the Company.

The July 2009 Sherington Warrant provides that Sherington is entitled to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 12,462,185 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), at a price equal to $0.35 per share through December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this July Sherington 2009 Warrant shall only be exercisable so that Sherington may maintain its percentage interest in the Company and is only exercisable by Sherington if and when there has occurred a full or partial exercise of any derivative securities of the Company outstanding as of July 1, 2009 (but excluding the securities held by Sherington and the July 2009 Sherington Warrant). The exercise price of the July 2009 Sherington Warrant is subject to full ratchet and anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

Adoption of 2009 Stock Incentive Plan

In June 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and the reservation of 4,000,000 shares. Following are the highlights of the Plan.

The 2009 Incentive Stock Plan is designed to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company. These objectives are accomplished by making long-term incentive awards under the Plan thereby providing participants with a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company.

Persons eligible to receive grants shall be directors, officers, employees or consultants to the Company. The term “consultant” shall mean any person, other than an employee, who is engaged by the Company to render services and is

 

23


Table of Contents

compensated for such services. Incentive Stock Options may only be issued to employees of the Company. Incentive stock options may be granted to officers or directors, provided they are also employees of the Company. Consultants will receive non-statutory options.

The total number of shares of stock which may be purchased or granted directly by options, stock awards or restricted stock purchase offers, or purchased indirectly through exercise of options granted under the Plan shall not exceed four million (4,000,000). Stock subject to grants may be either unissued or reacquired stock. If any grant shall for any reason terminate or expire, any shares allocated thereto but remaining unpurchased upon such expiration or termination shall again be available for grants with respect thereto under the Plan as though no grant had previously occurred with respect to such shares.

All or part of any stock award under the Plan may be subject to conditions established by the Board or the Compensation Committee, (the “Committee”) and set forth in the Stock Award Agreement, which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Company, achievement of specific business objectives, increases in specified indices, attaining growth rates and other comparable measurements of Company performance. Such awards may be based on fair market value or other specified valuation. All stock awards will be made pursuant to the execution of a Stock Award Agreement.

A grant of a restricted stock purchase offer under the Plan shall be subject to such (i) vesting contingencies related to the participant’s continued association with the Company for a specified time and (ii) other specified conditions as the Board or Committee shall determine, in their sole discretion, consistent with the provisions of the Plan. All restricted stock purchase offers shall be made pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Offer.

Any incentive stock option granted to a person who at the time the option is granted owns (or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company (“Ten Percent Holder”) shall have an exercise price of no less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock as of the date of grant; and (ii) incentive stock options granted to a person who at the time the option is granted is not a Ten Percent Holder shall have an exercise price of no less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock as of the date of grant.

Any option granted to an employee of the Company shall become exercisable over a period of no longer than five (5) years, and no less than twenty percent (20%) of the shares covered thereby shall become exercisable annually. No option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, prior to one (1) year from the date it is granted unless the Board shall specifically determine otherwise, as provided herein. In no event shall any option be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it is granted, and no incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Holder shall, by its terms, be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of the option. Unless otherwise specified by the Board or the Committee in the resolution authorizing such option, the date of grant of an option shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Board or the Committee authorizes the granting of such option.

If the optionee’s status as an employee terminates for any reason other than the optionee’s disability or death, then the optionee (or if the optionee shall die after such termination, but prior to exercise, the optionee’s personal representative or the person entitled to succeed to the option) shall have the right to exercise the portions of any of the optionee’s incentive stock options which were exercisable as of the date of such termination, in whole or in part, not less than 30 days nor more than three (3) months after such termination (or, in the event of “termination for good cause” as that term is defined in Florida case law related thereto, or by the terms of the Plan or the Option Agreement or an employment agreement, the option shall automatically terminate as of the termination of employment as to all shares covered by the option).

The Plan shall be administered by the Board, provided however, that the Board may delegate such administration to the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board and/or the Committee shall have authority to (a) grant, in its discretion, incentive stock options in accordance with Section 422 of the Code, or non-statutory options, stock awards or restricted stock purchase offers; (b) determine in good faith the fair market value of the stock covered by any grant; (c) determine which eligible persons shall receive grants and the number of shares, restrictions, terms and conditions to be included in such grants; (d) construe and interpret the Plan; (e) promulgate, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to its administration, and correct defects, omissions and inconsistencies in the Plan or any grant; (f) consistent with the Plan and with the consent of the participant, as appropriate, amend any outstanding grant or amend the exercise date or dates thereof; (g) determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be granted to participants without constituting termination of their employment for the purpose of the Plan or any grant; and (h) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the Plan’s administration. The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provisions of the Plan or selection of its participants shall be conclusive and final. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any grant made thereunder.

In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company (collectively, a

 

24


Table of Contents

“Reorganization”), unless otherwise provided by the Board, this option shall terminate immediately prior to such date as is determined by the Board, which date shall be no later than the consummation of such Reorganization. In such event, if the entity which shall be the surviving entity does not tender to optionee an offer, for which it has no obligation to do so, to substitute for any unexercised option a stock option or capital stock of such surviving of such surviving entity, as applicable, which on an equitable basis shall provide the optionee with substantially the same economic benefit as such unexercised option, then the Board may grant to such optionee, in its sole and absolute discretion and without obligation, the right for a period commencing thirty (30) days prior to and ending immediately prior to the date determined by the Board pursuant hereto for termination of the option or during the remaining term of the option, whichever is the lesser, to exercise any unexpired option or options without regard to the installment provisions of Paragraph 6(d) of the Plan; provided, that any such right granted shall be granted to all optionees not receiving an offer to receive substitute options on a consistent basis, and provided further, that any such exercise shall be subject to the consummation of such Reorganization.

Stock Options Granted

In June 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the issuance of stock options to purchase 2,000,000 and 1,500,000 shares of common stock to John Hancock, Chief Executive Officer and John Watson, Executive Vice President, respectfully. These options will vest immediately and are exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $0.26. The valuation date for this grant was June 29, 2009 when the stock had a value of $0.26. Under a Black-Scholes model, the main assumptions for the estimate are a discount rate of 2.13% and a volatility rate of 71.3%. With an estimated fair value of these grants of $543,300, these grants will be recognized as compensation expense in June 2009.

Debtor Default

On October 2, 2007, we filed a lawsuit in Dallas, Texas for breach of contract against Information Services Group, Inc and its owner, Ken Blow. On January 29, 2009, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to the following:

 

   

Mr. Blow agreed to release the Company from any and all claims in consideration for the Company to dismiss its claims with prejudice.

 

   

Mr. Blow and his affiliates (the “Blow Affiliates”) agreed to pay the Company an aggregate sum of $200,000, payable in monthly installments of $10,000 on the first of each month beginning on June 1, 2009 plus accrued interest of seven percent (7%) per annum (each a “Settlement Amount” and collectively, the “Settlement Amounts”).

 

   

If Mr. Blow or the Blow Affiliates do not make payment of a Settlement Amount within 10 days of when such amount shall be due and payable, the parties have agreed that the Company shall be entitled to file a judgment against Mr. Blow and the Blow Affiliates, jointly and severally, in the aggregate principal amount of $435,000.

Due to concerns related to the collectability of these funds, no amount was recorded as a receivable at the time of the Agreement. As the date for the first payment passed, the Company extended the cure period twice at the request of Mr. Blow, however, as no funds had been received as of July 7, 2009, Mr. Blow was in default of the Agreement and the Company is free to enforce its rights under the Agreement, including, without limitation, recordation of the Consent Final Judgment and collection efforts on the Judgment.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not represent historical facts. We use words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q Report include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, our plans and expectations regarding future financial results, operating results, business strategies, projected costs, products, competitive positions, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, and industry trends. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Form 10-Q Report and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Such risks

 

25


Table of Contents

and uncertainties include a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Please see “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information on risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any responsibility to, update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable.

From time to time, representatives of FNDS3000 may make public predictions or forecasts regarding the Company’s future results, including estimates regarding future revenues, expense levels or earnings from operations. Any forecast regarding the Company’s future performance reflects various assumptions. These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties, and, as a matter of course, many of them will prove to be incorrect. Further, the achievement of any forecast depends on numerous factors (including those described in this discussion), many of which are beyond the Company’s control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company’s performance will be consistent with any of management’s forecasts or that the variation from such forecasts will not be material and adverse. Investors are cautioned not to base their entire analysis of the Company’s business and prospects upon isolated predictions, but instead are encouraged to utilize the entire available mix of historical and forward-looking information made available by the Company, and other information affecting the Company and its products, when evaluating the Company’s prospective results of operations.

In addition, representatives of the Company may occasionally comment publicly on the perceived reasonableness of published reports by independent analysts regarding the Company’s projected future performance. Such comments should not be interpreted as an endorsement or adoption of any given estimate or range of estimates or the assumptions and methodologies upon which such estimates are based. Undue reliance should not be placed on any comments regarding the conformity, or lack thereof, of any independent estimates with the Company’s own present expectations regarding its future results of operations. The methodologies employed by the Company in arriving at its own internal projections and the approaches taken by independent analysts in making their estimates are likely different in many significant respects. Although the Company may presently perceive a given estimate to be reasonable, changes in the Company’s business, market conditions or the general economic climate may have varying effects on the results obtained through the use of differing analyses and assumptions. The Company expressly disclaims any continuing responsibility to advise analysts or the public markets of its view regarding the current accuracy of the published estimates of outside analysts. Persons relying on such estimates should pursue their own independent investigation and analysis of their accuracy and the reasonableness of the assumptions on which they are based.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate estimates, including those related to stock based compensation and revenue recognition on an ongoing basis. 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 values of assets, liabilities and equity, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Revenue Recognition, Deferred Revenue and Cost Recognition

In general, our revenue recognition policy for fees and services arising from our products is consistent with the criteria set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” for determining when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. In accordance with the requirements of SAB 104, we recognize revenue when, (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the receivables is reasonably assured. More specifically, initiation fee revenue for our stored-value cards are recognized when shipped, transaction fee revenue is recognized when the transaction is recorded, maintenance and financial float fees revenue are recognized when the products are used. Costs of revenue, including the cost of printing the prepaid cards, are recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our credit terms for the purchase of debit cards is net 30 days from the date of shipment and arise from our processing partners. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payment is not made in accordance with the terms of our contracts and receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed for all of our customers and we generally do not require collateral.

 

26


Table of Contents

We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy. The level of the allowance account, and related bad debts are based upon our review of the collectibility of our receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Goodwill and Intangibles

We have capitalized intangible assets such as the purchase of the Global Cash Card software license and the Atlas customer list and software (i.e. the right to receive future cash flows related to transactions of these applicable merchants) and amortize accounts at the time of attrition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” require the completion of an annual impairment test with any impairment recognized in current earnings.

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment

SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires that long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets in question may not be recoverable.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets or whether the remaining balance of long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for equity instruments issued for services based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock based compensation was determined using the historical fair value of the equity instruments.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”). SFAS 123R supersedes APB Opinion No 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statements of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the income statement based on their grant date fair values over the corresponding service period and also requires an estimation of forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. The Company has adopted SFAS 123R following the modified prospective method.

Presently, our revenue is not sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses. There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon successful roll out of our products and maintaining a break even or profitable level of operations. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue through the fiscal year ending August 31, 2009.

In July 2009, the Company closed on a private placement of stock from which it received $1 million which provides the funding to complete the Pilot Test Phase of our introduction of Prepaid Cards in South Africa. This Phase is now in the final stages of completion and results to-date have been encouraging. This placement should fund the Company through the final Volume Testing Phase and on to production roll-out during the remainder of 2009.

We require funds to enable us to address our minimum current and ongoing expenses, continue with marketing and promotion activity connected with the development and marketing of our products and increase market share. We anticipate that our cash on hand and the revenue that we anticipate generating going forward from our operations may not be sufficient to satisfy all of our cash requirements as we continue to progress and expand. If we require any additional monies, we plan to raise any such additional capital primarily through the private placement of our equity securities. Based on management’s detailed financial forecasts, if the management volume test phase proceeds as planned, the Company has sufficient financial resources to carry through to generation of a revenue stream that will cover costs. However, any delays will introduce a need for additional funding at a level of some $250,000 for each month of delay.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited annual financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation and expansion of our business is dependent upon successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

The financial requirements of our Company may be dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities of our directors and additional private placements of our equity securities to our directors and shareholders or new shareholders. The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Should additional financing be needed, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. We do not currently have any plans to merge with another company, and we have not entered into any agreements or understandings for any such merger.

We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing any phase or all phases of the proposed business plan or that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of May 31, 2009, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate as of May 31, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On October 2, 2007, we filed a lawsuit in Dallas, Texas for breach of contract against Information Services Group, Inc and its owner, Ken Blow. On January 29, 2009, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to the following:

 

   

Mr. Blow agreed to release the Company from any and all claims in consideration for the Company to dismiss its claims with prejudice.

 

   

Mr. Blow and his affiliates (the “Blow Affiliates”) agreed pay the Company an aggregate sum of $200,000, payable in monthly installments of $10,000 on the first of each month beginning on June 1, 2009 plus accrued interest of seven percent (7%) per annum (each a “Settlement Amount” and collectively, the “Settlement Amounts”).

 

   

If Mr. Blow or the Blow Affiliates do not make payment of a Settlement Amount within 10 days of when such amount shall be due and payable, the parties have agreed that the Company shall be entitled to file a judgment against Mr. Blow and the Blow Affiliates, jointly and severally, in the aggregate principal amount of $435,000.

Due to concerns related to the collectability of these funds, no amount was recorded as a receivable at the time of the Agreement. As the date for the first payment passed, the Company extended the cure period twice at the request of Mr. Blow, however, as no funds had been received as of July 7, 2009, Mr. Blow was in default of the Agreement and the Company is free to enforce its rights under the Agreement, including, without limitation, recordation of the Consent Final Judgment and collection efforts on the Judgment.

As of May 31, 2009, we know of no other material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company.
