We are primarily a B2B player and/or white-label service providing a means for businesses to communicate to its primary constituents, in particular its customers, and we do not seek to have a consumer brand presence for our own name.

RISK FACTORS
 
Your investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this prospectus carefully before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We currently rely on brand owners, and especially Walmart, to use our programs to satisfy their communication needs and thereby to generate our revenues from wireless carriers indirectly. The loss of or a change in any of these significant relationships could materially reduce our revenues.

Both our present and our future depend heavily on our relationship with Walmart. We must retain our current business there and expand the relationship into augmented programs, both for its own sake and as a reference point for possible similar business with other retailers and brand owners. Our relationship with Walmart is subject to risk based on factors such as performance, reliability, pricing, competition, alternate technological solutions and changes in interpersonal relationships.

We currently rely on wireless carriers, and especially AT&T, to market and distribute our products and services and to generate our revenues. The loss of or a change in any of these significant carrier relationships could cause us to lose access to their subscribers and thus materially reduce our revenues.

Our future success is highly dependent upon maintaining successful relationships with wireless carriers. A significant portion of our revenue has always been derived from a very limited number of carriers, and currently over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc. We expect that we will continue to generate a substantial majority of our revenues through distribution relationships with a limited number of carriers for the foreseeable future. Our failure to maintain our relationships with these carriers would materially reduce our revenues and thus harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Typically, carrier agreements have a term of one or two years with automatic renewal provisions upon expiration of the initial term, absent a contrary notice from either party. In addition, some carrier agreements, including our key agreement with AT&T Services, Inc., provide that the carrier can terminate the agreement early and, in some instances, at any time without cause, which could give them the ability to renegotiate economic or other terms. The agreements generally do not obligate the carriers to market or distribute any of our products or services. In many of these agreements, we warrant that our products do not violate community standards, do not contain libelous content, do not contain material defects or viruses, and do not violate third-party intellectual property rights, and we indemnify the carrier for any breach of a third party’s intellectual property.

Many other factors outside our control could impair our ability to generate revenues through a given carrier, including the following:

the carrier’s preference for our competitors’ products and services rather than ours;
the carrier’s decision to discontinue the sale of some or all of our products and services;
the carrier’s decision to offer similar products and services to its subscribers without charge or at reduced prices;
the carrier’s decision to restrict or alter subscription or other terms for downloading our products and services;
a failure of the carrier’s merchandising, provisioning or billing systems;
the carrier’s decision to offer its own competing products and services;
the carrier’s decision to transition to different platforms and revenue models; and
consolidation among carriers.
 
 

 

 
5

 
 
If any of our carriers decides not to market or distribute our products and services or decides to terminate, not renew or modify the terms of its agreement with us or if there is consolidation among carriers generally, we may be unable to replace the affected agreement with acceptable alternatives, causing us to lose access to that carrier’s subscribers and the revenues they afford us, which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may be unable to develop and introduce in a timely way new products or services.

The planned timing and introduction of new products and services are subject to risks and uncertainties. Unexpected technical, operational, deployment, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of new products and services, which could result in a loss of, or delay in, revenues.

We may need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. The raising of additional capital may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership interests. Our present income from operations is insufficient to achieve our business plan. We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings to meet various objectives including, but not limited to:
 
pursuing growth opportunities, including more rapid expansion;
acquiring complementary businesses;
making capital improvements to improve our infrastructure;
hiring qualified management and key employees;
developing new services, programming or products;
responding to competitive pressures;
complying with regulatory requirements such as licensing and registration; and
maintaining compliance with applicable laws.

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities. The terms of those securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect.

Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business and, further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our reported financial results.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

Our strategy envisions growing our business. Even if we do grow, if we fail to manage our growth effectively our financial results could be adversely affected. Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:
 
meet our capital needs;
expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
allocate our human resources optimally; or
identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees.
 
If we are unable to manage our growth and our operations our financial results could be adversely affected.

We have undergone a management transition.

Until May 16, 2011, Anthony Macaluso served as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer. On that date, James Orsini started his employment with us and took on those titles, with Anthony Macaluso remaining employed as our executive Chairman. On September 26, 2011 we employed John Quinn as our Chief Financial Officer. We have also recruited and hired other senior staff. We have moved our executive headquarters from Encinitas, California, to Jersey City, New Jersey. Such a management transition subjects us to a number of risks, including risks pertaining to coordination of responsibilities and tasks, creation of new management systems and processes, differences in management style, effects on corporate culture, and the need for transfer of historical knowledge.

Our management ranks are thin, and losing or failing to add key personnel could affect our ability to grow our business successfully.

Our future performance depends substantially on the continued service of our senior management and other key personnel, including personnel which we need to hire. In particular, our success depends upon the continued efforts of our management personnel, Anthony Macaluso, our Chairman; James Orsini, our President and Chief Executive Officer; John Quinn, our Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the senior management team. We need to identify and hire additional senior managers to perform key tasks and roles.

Our inability to protect or monetize our proprietary technology adequately could adversely affect our business.

Our proprietary technology is one of the keys to our performance and ability to remain competitive. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We also use technical measures, confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements to protect our proprietary rights.

We rely on copyright laws and/or trade secret laws to protect the source code for our proprietary software. We generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. The steps we take to protect our proprietary information may not prevent misappropriation of our technology, and the agreements we enter into for that purpose might not be enforceable. A third party might obtain and use our software or other proprietary information without authorization or develop similar software independently. It is difficult for us to police the unauthorized use of our technology, particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate destination or security of software or other transmitted data. The laws of other countries may not provide us with adequate or effective protection of our intellectual property.

In fact, we believe competitors are violating some of our patents. We believe this is damaging our business. Although we have engaged law firms to undertake legal actions to enjoin violations of our patent rights and/or compel compensation for use of those rights, there is no assurance of success and, even in the event of success, we will incur legal fees and expenses. Competitors might be able to work around our patents and our other intellectual property.

Applicable rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may be burdensome to us and/or make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business.

We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly-held companies. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in the issuance of a series of rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by national securities exchanges. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.
 
 
 
7


 
Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our shares of common stock on any national securities exchange (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.

We are subject to competition.

We have many actual and potential competitors, almost all of whom have more financial, personnel, intellectual property and/or reputational resources than we do. If we and our business do not grow larger, we will not be able to enjoy the economies of scale that many of our competitors do.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or detect fraud. Consequently, investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting, and this may decrease the trading price of our stock.

We must maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports and detect fraud. We will be assessing our internal controls to identify areas that need improvement. Failure to implement any required changes to our internal controls or any others that we identify as necessary to maintain an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Also, and in any event, Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements regarding internal control over financial reporting are costly to implement and maintain, and such costs are relatively more burdensome for smaller companies such as us than for larger companies.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

If wireless subscribers do not continue to use their mobile handsets to access mobile content and other applications, our business growth and future revenues may be adversely affected.

We operate in a developing industry. Our success depends on growth in the number of wireless subscribers who use their handsets to receive information and access data services and, in particular, applications of the type we develop and distribute. New or different mobile applications developed by our current or future competitors may be preferred by subscribers to our offerings. In addition, other mobile platforms may become widespread, and end users may choose to switch to these platforms. If the market for our products and services does not continue to grow or we are unable to acquire new end users, our business growth and future revenues could be adversely affected.

System or network failures could reduce our sales, increase costs or result in a loss of end users of our products and services.

Mobile content delivery relies on wireless carrier networks to deliver products and services to end users. In certain circumstances, mobile content distributors may also rely on their own hardware and software to deliver products on demand to end users through their carriers’ networks. In addition, certain products require access over the mobile Internet to our hardware and software in order to enable certain features. Any failure of, or technical problem with, carriers’, third parties’ or billing systems, delivery or information systems, or communications networks could result in the inability of end users to receive communications or download our products, prevent the completion of a billing transaction, or interfere with access to some aspects of our products. If any of these systems fails or if there is an interruption in the supply of power, an earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, or an act of war or terrorism, end users might be unable to access our offerings. For example, from time to time, our carriers have experienced failures with their billing and delivery systems and communication networks, including gateway failures that reduced the provisioning capacity of their branded e-commerce system. Any failure of, or technical problem with, the carriers’, other third parties’ or our systems could cause us to lose end users or revenues or incur substantial repair costs and distract management from operating our business, or persuade retailers or brand owners that solutions utilizing our programs are not sufficiently reliable. This, in turn, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our business depends on the growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure.

Our success will depend on the continued growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure in the United States and internationally. This includes deployment and maintenance of reliable next-generation digital networks with the speed, data capacity and security necessary to provide reliable wireless communications services. We have no control over this. Wireless communications infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it if the number of subscribers continues to increase, or if existing or future subscribers increase their bandwidth requirements. Wireless communications have experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of infrastructure and equipment failures and could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of wireless communications usage as well as our ability to distribute our products and services successfully. In addition, changes by a wireless carrier to network infrastructure may interfere with downloads and may cause end users to lose functionality. This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in mobile handsets or wireless networks could adversely affect our revenues.

Maintaining the security of mobile handsets and wireless networks is critical for our business. There are individuals and groups who develop and deploy viruses, worms and other illicit code or malicious software programs that may attack wireless networks and handsets. Security experts have identified computer “worm” programs that target handsets running on certain operating systems. Although these worms have not been widely released and do not present an immediate risk to our business, we believe future threats could lead some end users to seek to reduce or delay future purchases of our products or reduce or delay the use of their handsets, or persuade retailers or brand owners that solutions utilizing our programs are not sufficiently reliable. Wireless carriers and handset manufacturers may also increase their expenditures on protecting their wireless networks and mobile phone products from attack, which could delay adoption of new handset models. Any of these activities could adversely affect our revenues, and this could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

It is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted in the United States and elsewhere that could restrict the media and wireless communications industries, including laws and regulations regarding customer privacy, taxation, content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust. Such news laws and regulations, if any, might be adverse to our business interest. Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection and privacy laws that may impose additional burdens on companies such as ours conducting business through wireless carriers. We anticipate that regulation of our industry will increase and that we will be required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation. Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding the media and wireless communications industries may lessen the growth of wireless communications services and may materially reduce our ability to increase or maintain sales of our products and services.

We may experience unexpected expenses or delays in service enhancements if we are unable to license third-party technology on commercially reasonable terms.

We rely on technology that we license from third parties, and may find a need to license additional technology in the future. These third-party technology licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain or maintain these licenses on favorable terms, or at all, we could experience delays in completing and developing our products and services.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our common stock is not traded on any national securities exchange.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and is not heavily traded, which may increase price quotation volatility and could limit the liquidity of the common stock, all of which may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and our ability to raise additional capital.
 
 
 
9


 
Trading in our stock has been modest, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2011 was approximately 83,000 shares. If modest trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell or buy substantial quantities of shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices.

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limits the trading and liquidity of the common stock which may affect the trading price of the common stock.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and trades below $5.00 per share; therefore, the common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and potentially subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, before any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction before sale. In addition, margin regulations prevent low-priced stocks such as ours from being used as collateral for brokers’ margin loans to investors. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of the common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock. In addition, many institutional investors, as a matter of policy, do not invest in stocks which are not traded on a national securities exchange and/or which trade for less than $5.00 per share (or some lower price point).

The price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile, which could lead to losses by investors and costly securities litigation.

The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be volatile and could fluctuate in response to factors such as:

actual or anticipated variations in our operating results and prospects;
announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
additions or departures of key personnel;
introduction of new services by us or our competitors;
sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market; and
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies, and in particular the market prices of stock in smaller companies and technology companies have been highly volatile. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against the company. Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business and financial condition.

We do not expect any cash dividends to be paid on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use any future earnings, as well as any capital that may be raised in the future, to fund business growth. Consequently, a stockholders’ only opportunity to achieve a return on investment may result if the price of our common stock appreciates and that stockholder sell his or her shares at a profit. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

Securities analysts may not initiate coverage or continue to cover our common stock, and this may have a negative impact on its market price.

Common stock prices are often significantly influenced by the research and reports that securities analysts publish about companies and their business. We do not have any control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our common stock. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect its market price. If we are covered by securities analysts and our stock is downgraded, our stock price will likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish regular reports on us, we can lose visibility in the financial markets, which can cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.

We have aggressively issued common stock and other equity-based securities in support of our business objectives and initiatives. In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 205,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with preferences and rights to be determined by our Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2011, there were 130,182,392 shares of common stock outstanding, 33,780,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and 16,030,986 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding warrants and convertible notes. The holders of such options, warrants, and convertible securities can be expected to exercise (convert) them at a time when our common stock is trading at a price higher than the exercise (conversion) price of these outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities. If these options or warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, convertible debt is converted or other equity interests are granted under our 2008, 2009 or 2010 stock plans, or under other plans or agreements adopted in the future, such equity interests will have a dilutive effect on your ownership of common stock. We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. Such securities may be issued at below-market prices or, in any event, prices that are significantly lower than the price at which you may have paid for your shares. The future issuance of any such securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

We are controlled by our executive Chairman/major stockholder Anthony Macaluso.

Anthony Macaluso, our executive Chairman, beneficially owns approximately 24% of our outstanding common stock, on a Rule 13d-3 basis. Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Because of his high percentage of beneficial ownership, and his positions as an officer and director, Mr. Macaluso may be able to control matters requiring the vote of stockholders, including the election of our Board of Directors and certain other significant corporate actions. This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our other stockholders and us. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our stockholders and could depress the market price of our common stock. If you acquire common stock, you may have no effective voice in the management of the Company.

Our income statements are heavily influenced by non-cash charges, which may negatively influence investors’ view of us.

Investors like companies which report income statement profits (or relatively small net losses), and do not like companies which report large losses on their income statements. In recent years our income statements’ reported losses have been increased by large non-cash charges such as those for non-employee stock-based compensation, employee stock-based compensation, net loss on settlement of indebtedness (with below-market stock issuances), and changes in the fair value of derivative liability. This could make it more difficult for some investors to understand our operations and the situation of our business easily, especially if they prefer to use traditional stock valuation metrics and multiples, and it could cause some

investors to disregard us or to view us negatively. This could affect the demand for our stock and adversely affect our stock price. It is possible that we will take actions which result in such charges on our future statements of income, but whether or not we do, the past instances of charges will continue to be reflected in the current-period-versus-past-period comparisons, which are used in our SEC reports and by investors and analysts.

Even though we are not a California corporation, our common stock could still be subject to a number of key provisions of the California General Corporation Law.

Under Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, or CGCL, non-listed corporations not organized under California law may still be subject to a number of key provisions of the CGCL. This determination is based on whether the corporation has specific significant business contacts with California and if more than 50% of its voting securities are held of record by persons having addresses in California. Under Section 2115, we could be subject to certain provisions of the CGCL. Among the more important provisions are those relating to the election and removal of directors, cumulative voting, standards of liability and indemnification of directors, distributions, dividends and repurchases of shares, shareholder meetings, approval of certain corporate transactions, dissenters’ rights, and inspection of corporate records. We have not determined whether or not we are, or will be, subject to such CGCL requirements.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sales, if any, of the common stock covered by this prospectus. All net proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus will go to the selling stockholder. See “Selling Stockholder” and “Plan of Distribution” described below. If the warrants overlying certain of such shares are exercised for cash, we would receive such exercise-price cash proceeds, which we would intend to use for general working capital purposes.

BUSINESS
 
General

We were incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under our original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, we changed our name to Single Touch Systems Inc. In the periods before the acquisition described in the next sentence, we had no active business operations. On July 24, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”). Interactive was incorporated in Nevada on April 2, 2002.

We maintain a website located at http://www.singletouch.net, and electronic copies of our periodic or other reports and any amendments to those reports, are available, free of charge, under the “Company” link on our website as soon as practicable after such material is filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

Single Touch Systems Inc. is an innovative mobile media solutions provider serving retailers, advertisers and brands. Through patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, our multi-channel messaging gateway enables marketers to reach consumers on all types of connected devices, with information that engages interest, drives transactions and strengthens relationships and loyalty.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high-volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message in voice or Short Message Service (SMS), an abbreviated dial code or a coupon, promotion, or an advertisement. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. We are primarily a B2B player and/or white-label service providing a means for businesses to communicate to its primary constituents, in particular its customers, and we do not seek to have a consumer brand presence for our own name.

Background of Industry Growth and Potential

Cell phone penetration and usage are becoming almost ubiquitous, and business applications utilizing cell phones are growing rapidly. USA Today notes that well-known retailers and brands are employing various mobile tactics to enhance the shopping experience. A Custom Mobile Retail Advisor Survey from Sept 2011 showed 46% of mobile phone consumers engaged in shopping activities on their mobile device.

According to CTIA – The Wireless Association (June 2011), there were 327 million wireless subscribers in the US, representing 103.9% of the US population. The combined minutes and messages of this group have risen 9.5% year over year. It takes 90 minutes for the average person to respond to an email yet only 90 seconds to respond to a SMS or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) text message; and there is a 300% increase in opens for SMS/MMS vs. emails. For many consumers, cellular phones have already made the transition from a communication device to a media-consumption device. With continuing technological advancements, people are becoming more dependent on their cell phones and less dependent on landlines.

Principal Products and Services

Messaging and Notifications – Our Short Message Service (SMS) gateway offers a hosted messaging platform to SMS-enable any application, website or system. We enable the immediate capability to deliver and receive messages to and from any application, via our messaging platform.

The foremost example of our solution running today is Walmart. Walmart pharmacy departments send individualized text messages through our gateway, to their customers letting them know when their prescriptions are ready for pickup. Potentially, we would be able not only to send a customer a reminder but also let them know that a product is on sale, provide product information or product reviews, display inventory levels or enable a click-through connection to customer service.

Abbreviated Dial Codes – 75% of smartphone users prefer mobile couponing to physical paper copies based on the Custom Mobile Retailer Advisor survey from September 2011. The Association of National Advertisers reports while normal paper coupon redemption is between 1% to 3% feature phones coupon redemption is 10% and smartphone coupon redemption is 20%. Our recent case studies with Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc., showed 14% redemption. MobiLens, a unit of comscore, reported a 24% average response rate from those that received SMS advertisements during the three-month period ended September 2011. We are showing a better than 5% click-through from Rich Text Messages with embedded uniform resource locators (URL), which compares favorably with a traditional Internet banner advertising of 1% click-through rate.

Certain Agreements

Our business agreements consist primarily of customer agreements and carrier agreements. Customer agreements are typically agreements with companies which have sales relationships with the end users of the transacted media content or service application. These agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the brand owner and us or a fixed fee per transaction. Carrier agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection to the end user that enables us to deliver and collect payment for the transacted media content or service application. Carrier agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the carrier and us.

Our services agreement with AT&T Services, Inc., as amended, provides among other things that we shall provision, implement and maintain the ADC Registry Program to be licensed for use by AT&T for the purpose of marketing and promoting customer retail locations and other programs. AT&T may terminate the agreement at any time on upon proper written notice as provided in the agreement.

Research and Development

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 we spent $502,110 and $528,166, respectively, on software development that was capitalized. Software development costs amortized and charged to operations in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 were $412,632 and $438,445, respectively. In addition, in fiscal 2011 we charged off $0 in development costs we deemed impaired, compared to $218,776 in fiscal 2010.

Our research and development activities relate primarily to general coding of software and product development. These activities consist of both new products and support or improvements to existing products. Certain of our research and development resources are dedicated to improving our ADC programs while others are dedicated to refining our mobile notification and couponing products.

We believe that we may need to increase our current level of dedicated research and development resources by adding both hardware and engineers.

Government Regulation

We provide value-added and enabling platforms for carrier based distribution of various software and media content, as well as notifications and other communications. Applicable regulations are primarily under the Federal Communications Commission and related to the operations policies and procedures of the wireless communications carriers. Messaging and safeguarding Personal Health Information, moreover, is relegated, among other things, to the Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, otherwise known as HIPAA. The wireless carriers are primarily responsible for regulatory compliance. Given the growing and dynamic evolution of digital wireless products that can be offered to consumers over a wireless communication network, regulators could impose rules, requirements and standards of conduct on third-party content and infrastructure providers such as us. We are not currently aware of any pending regulations that would materially impact our operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Prospectus. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors such as those in the Risk Factors section above. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Prospectus.

Overview
 
Single Touch Systems Inc. is an innovative mobile media solutions provider serving retailers, advertisers and brands. Through patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, our multi-channel messaging gateway enables marketers to reach consumers on all types of connected devices, with information that engages interest, drives transactions and strengthens relationships and loyalty.
 
Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and we provide the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.
 
Our business has focused on leveraging our solution in the areas of messaging/notifications and Abbreviated Dial Codes. These solutions are to be enhanced by our deployment of imbedded advertisements and couponing.
 
“The vast mobile messaging industry worldwide, currently generating revenues in excess of USD 150 billion, and set to continue growing to more than USD 233 billion by 2014.” (1)
 
“Short Messaging Service, simply known as SMS, has established itself as the simplest, easiest and most economical means of personalized one-to-one communication – with SMS volume growth statistics attesting to its popularity.” (1)
 
“The performance of SMS over the last five years has been staggering and remains so mainly because it is cheap, easy to use, convenient, discreet and universally acceptable to some 4 billion consumers worldwide. SMS continues to grow in all markets. In 2009 worldwide SMS traffic topped 5 trillion messages, and that figure is set to exceed 10 trillion in 2013.” (1)

We have developed and are preparing to deploy advertisements and couponing within our product offerings. This development is significant in that our per-message revenue increases significantly for each message that includes an advertisement. We see these expanded offerings, including those not based directly on messaging volume, as important steps in our continued program to creating both consumer and advertiser demand for our mobile media platform; accessing mobile notifications, advertisements, coupons and commerce transactions from the mobile phone.
 
Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. These programs and related services continue to develop nationwide and we continue to experience increasing activity in these programs that have caused our AT&T revenues to grow.
 
We have a portfolio of intellectual property relevant to our industry related to mobile search, commerce, advertising and streaming media. This portfolio represents our many years innovation in the wireless industry through patented technology developed by us as well as patented technology we purchased from Microsoft and others.
 
We have law firms engaged to protect our patented technology against unauthorized users and infringers. We have sent letters of notification to several companies making them aware of our patent portfolio. We will continue to identify and notify companies we believe may be infringing on the intellectual property protected by our growing patent portfolio.
 
As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations.
 
Throughout our history our operations have been constrained by our ability to raise funds, and our liquidity has been an ongoing issue. We have received debt and equity investments both from insiders and from private investors. We have always had negative cash flows from operations and net operating losses, although the size of the net operating losses has been magnified by a variety of non-cash accounting charges. As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations.
 
Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our revenue is concentrated with a single customer. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in our stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, diversify our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 

 
 
Results of Operations
 
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 
During the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, the Company had an increase in revenue of approximately 57% over revenue generated during the same three-month period in the previous year ($1,589,673 in 2011 compared to $1,011,738 in 2010).   The growth, all of which is organic, is attributable to additions of programs and increased mobile adoption rates. The Company’s net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $629,196.  This compares favorably with the net loss incurred during three months ended December 31, 2010 of $4,899,323. The net loss of $629,196 incurred in 2011 included stock-based compensation of $31,106 and $155,471 of depreciation and amortization. The net loss of $4,899,323 incurred in 2010 included stock-based compensation of $3,603,708 and $137,287 of deprecation and amortization. Net loss, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, was $442,619 in 2011 as compared to $1,158,328 in 2010, a decrease of 62%.
 
We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and special charges.  We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the underlying performance of our business, and a summary of Adjusted EBITDA, reconciling GAAP amounts (i.e., items reported in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) to Adjusted EBITDA amounts (i.e., items included within Adjusted EBITDA as defined directly above) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 follows:

Our professional fees decreased from 2011 when compared to that for 2010. Professional fees of $166,960 in 2011 includes stock-based compensation of $15,006 pertaining to the vesting of options granted to the Company’s outside legal counsel to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. No stock-based compensation was included in professional fees for 2010. Professional fees excluding stock-based compensation decreased from $253,821 in 2010 to $151,954 in 2011 due largely to replacing some services previously performed by variable-priced outside advisors with those from fixed-fee outside advisors and management.
 
Travel expense has increased from $55,049 in 2010 to $138,841 in 2011. This is largely attributable to the addition of personnel and increased business development activities.
 
Consulting expense of $106,925 in 2011 includes stock-based compensation of $6,410 pertaining to the vesting of options granted to a Company director to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock Consulting expenses of $605,195 in 2010 included $421,200 of stock-based compensation mostly attributable to one outside advisors no longer compensated for such services. Excluding stock-based compensation consulting expense has decreased from $183,995 in 2010 to $100,515 in 2011. This reduction is largely attributable to replacing some services previously performed by outside consultants with those of management.
 
Other expenses not part of Loss from Operations or Adjusted EBITDA in 2011 included interest expense of $37,609, of which $15,644 pertains to interest accruing on $1,800,000 of convertible debt issued by the Company in November and December of 2011, $15,777 pertains to amortization of discounts on the convertible debt (See Note 9 to the financial statements), and $6,188 pertains to inputed interest on the Company’s obligation on the purchase of patents and patent applications (See Note 8 to the financial statements).

Other expenses not part of Loss from Operations or Adjusted EBITDA in 2010 included a $651,315 loss on settlement of indebtedness relating to the Company issuance of 723,684 shares of its common stock through a settlement with a former Note holder caused by a dispute as to the number of shares he believed he was entitled to through the original conversion of his note and interest expense of $13,622.
 
Changes in assets and liabilities
 
At December 31, 2011, we had total assets of $5,007,520 and total liabilities of $3,013,057. As of December 31, 2010, we had total assets of $6,081,465 and total liabilities of $1,437,140. The decrease in assets is largely due to the reduction in cash raised prior to December 31, 2010 and used to fund operating losses following then, and the increase in liabilities is largely due to the $1,800,000 convertible debt issuance in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 (See footnote 9 to the financial statements.)
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
During the three-month period ending December 31, 2011 cash used in operating activities totaled $580,909. Cash used in investing activities totaled $136,344, of which $92,072 represented the capitalized internal costs of our software development, $5,282 represented equipment purchases, and $38,990 represented capitalized legal fees incurred in the process of applying for various patents on our technology. Cash provided from financing activities amounted to $1,800,000 through the issuance of convertible debt. We had an overall net increase in cash for the period of $1,082,747; the beginning balance for the period was $523,801 while the cash balance at the end of the period was $1,606,548.
 
During the three-month period ending December 31, 2010 cash used in operating activities totaled $479,269. Cash used in investing activities totaled $322,045, of which $169,128 represented the capitalized internal costs of our software development, $91,850 represented equipment purchases, and $61,067 represented capitalized legal fees incurred in the process of applying for various patents on our technology. Cash provided in financing activities was $17,685 representing cash advances from a related party. We had an overall net decrease in cash for the period of $783,629; the beginning balance for the period was $4,040,169, while the cash balance at the end of the period was $3,256,540.
 
Over the next twelve months we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds from operations will be sufficient to sustain our current level of operations.  We may, however, seek additional financing to increase our cash and liquidity buffer.  In addition, increased acceleration in our organic business or other strategic initiatives may require other financing. There can, moreover, be no assurance of when, if ever, our operations become profitable.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities. 
 
Years Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010

During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, we had revenues of approximately $4.6 million and experienced a loss from operations of approximately $7.3 million, of which approximately $4.6 million pertained to stock-based compensation. Our net loss for the year was roughly $8 million, which included an approximate $650 thousand loss on settlement of indebtedness. Excluding stock-based compensation, and the loss on settlement of indebtedness, our net loss for the year was approximately $2.8 million. Stock-based compensation has no impact on our cash position.
 
During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, we had revenues of approximately $792,000 and experienced a loss from operations of approximately $4.7 million, of which approximately $1.2 million pertained to stock-based compensation. Our net loss for the year was roughly $12 million, which included an approximate $2.7 million loss from settlement of debt and a loss of approximately $3.9 million from changes if the fair value of a derivative liability. Excluding stock-based compensation and the loss from settlement of debt and the loss from the changes in the derivative liability, our net loss for the year amounted to approximately $4.2 million.

Other expenses

In fiscal year 2011, we recognized a loss of approximately $650 thousand through the issuance of 723,684 shares of our common stock in complete settlement of disputed claims. Interest expense for fiscal year 2011 totaled approximately $26 thousand.
 

 
21

 
 
In fiscal 2010 we recognized a loss on the cancelation of debt totaling approximately $2.7 million. Of the $2.7 million loss, approximately $900 thousand was recognized on the issuance of 612,500 shares of our common stock for past due professional services totaling approximately $400 thousand; approximately $1.8 million was recognized on the issuance of 3.03 million shares of our common stock in cancellation of approximately $1.12 million of notes payable; and approximately $900 thousand was recognized through the issuance of 1 million shares of our common stock to a note holder in complete settlement of the debt outstanding on the note. The other non-operating item that affected our net loss for fiscal year 2010 was the change in the fair market value of our derivative liability relating to the Peltz warrants, which created a net loss for the year of approximately $3.9 million.

Interest expense for fiscal year 2010 amounted to approximately $813 thousand, and included $500 thousand on the amortization of a beneficial conversion feature on debt that we issued to a non-affiliate, approximately $172 thousand on debt due our chief executive officer and his wholly owned corporation, and approximately $141 thousand on debt due non-affiliates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2011, we had total assets of approximately $3.7 million and total liabilities of approximately $1.5 million, while at September 30, 2010, we had total assets of approximately $6.5 million and total liabilities of approximately $1 million. Our cash balance decreased by approximately $3.5 million during the year ended September 30, 2011.

Our only outstanding indebtedness at September 30, 2011 is the approximately $164,000 (net of approximately $11 thousand implicit interest) due Microsoft on March 15, 2012 on our acquisition of patents and patent applications.

The future of our liquidity/capital resources position will hinge on how soon, if ever, our operations become profitable, as well as whether any future capital is raised.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in our operating activities totaled approximately $1.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $1 million and included approximately $155 thousand paid to Mr. Macaluso on the option of acquiring his interest in Soapbox Mobile, Inc.; approximately $95 thousand on an investment in a certificate of deposit that is pledged as a security deposit on our office lease in New Jersey; approximately $111 thousand paid in legal fees on patent and patent applications; approximately $196 thousand on equipment purchases; and approximately $502 thousand on software development. We used approximately $956 thousand in our financing activities including the reduction of approximately $791 thousand in debt due to Mr. Macaluso and the reduction of approximately $165 thousand of debt due non-affiliates.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in our operating activities totaled approximately $4.6 million. Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $1.5 million and included approximately $900 thousand on the acquisition of patent and patent applications, approximately $69 thousand on equipment purchases and approximately $528 thousand on software development. Financing activities provided us with approximately $9.95 million. During the year, we received approximately $11.6 million through the issuance of approximately 24.4 million shares of our common stock through various private offerings and $500 thousand in proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt. Of the $12.1 million received, approximately $313 thousand was used in costs associated with the private offerings; $522 thousand was used in reducing the principal balance due to Mr. Macaluso and his wholly owned corporation; approximately $875 thousand was used to reduce the principal balance due on non-affiliate debt; and $450 thousand was paid as partial consideration in the modification of the term relating to warrants granted to a consultant.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of ours financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.

Non-monetary Consideration Issued for Services
We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration are valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.

Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with ASC Topic 505, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully-vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.

Conventional Convertible Debt
When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party) over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Software Development Costs
We account for our software development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 985-20, “Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Under ASC Topic 985-20, we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is technologically feasible, we amortize the costs capitalized over the expected useful life of the software.

Fair Value Measurement
The Company complies with the provisions of ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
 
 
 
23


 
ASC 820-10 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. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Employment Agreements and Benefits

Other than health insurance, we do not currently provide any employee benefit or retirement programs. Our officers’ salaries are determined by the Board of Directors. Officers and employees may receive bonuses from time to time in the form of cash or equity at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

We have no plans in place and have never maintained any plans that provide for the payment of retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement including, but not limited to, tax qualified deferred benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, tax-qualified deferred contribution plans and nonqualified deferred contribution plans.

Employment / Severance / Change-in-Control Agreements
On March 10, 2011, we entered into an employment letter agreement with James Orsini, who began employment as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer on May 16, 2011. The agreement (as amended on May 16, 2011) is for a three-year term, with successive two-year renewals unless either party elects against renewal. Mr. Orsini is entitled to a $385,000 annual salary, subject to possible increases. Mr. Orsini can also receive discretionary cash bonuses, and after three months of employment he was entitled to and did receive a $25,000 payment in respect of certain expenses. In addition, the agreement called for us to grant to him (and we accordingly did grant to him) 4,500,000 stock options under our 2010 Stock Plan; with one-third (with an exercise price of $0.63 per share) vesting on the first anniversary of his employment start date, one-third (with an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on the second anniversary of his employment start date, and one-third (with an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on the third anniversary of his employment start date. Vesting of his stock options shall accelerate if we experience a change in majority control. Mr. Orsini agreed not to compete with us during his employment and for two years thereafter.

If we terminate Mr. Orsini’s employment without cause or for disability or if he resigns for good reason (as those terms are defined in the agreement), or if we elect not to enter into a renewal term of the employment letter agreement, he will receive one year of salary continuation and one year of COBRA premium payments. In addition, if we terminate Mr. Orsini’s employment without cause or if he resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to exercise any of the 4,500,000 stock options which had vested as of the termination date, until three years after the termination date (or, if earlier, the expiration of the options).

If we experience a change in majority control (as defined in the agreement) during Mr. Orsini’s employment, all his unvested stock options would immediately vest.

On June 3, 2011, we entered into an employment letter agreement with Anthony Macaluso, as our executive Chairman, effective as of June 1, 2011. The agreement is for a three-year term, with successive two-year renewals unless either party elects against renewal. Mr. Macaluso is entitled to a $385,000 annual salary, subject to possible increases. Mr. Macaluso can also receive discretionary cash bonuses. We also agreed in the employment letter agreement to grant Mr. Macaluso certain stock options under our 2010 Stock Plan.

In full satisfaction of all obligations under the employment letter agreement to grant stock options to Mr. Macaluso, and after taking account of certain remissions, we granted Mr. Macaluso on June 1, 2011 a total of 4,500,000 stock options under our 2010 Stock Plan, with 1,500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.65 per share) vesting on May 16, 2012, 1,500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on May 16, 2013 and 1,500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on May 16, 2014.

If Mr. Macaluso is terminated without cause or due to disability, or if he resigns for good reason (all as defined in the employment letter agreement) or if we elect not to renew his employment term, then upon giving us a release he shall be entitled to one year of salary continuation and one year of COBRA premiums payments. Also, if we are acquired or if he is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason (all as defined in the employment letter agreement) during Mr. Macaluso’s employment, all his unvested stock options will immediately vest.

In addition, if we terminate Mr. Macaluso’s employment without cause or due to disability or if he resigns for good reason, he would be entitled to exercise any of the 4,500,000 stock options until three years after the termination date (or, if earlier, the expiration of the options).

On September 26, 2011, we entered into an employment letter agreement with John Quinn, as our Chief Financial Officer, effective as of September 26, 2011. Pursuant to the agreement we pay Mr. Quinn an annual salary of $225,000. The Agreement also calls for successive one-year renewals unless either party elects against renewal. Mr. Quinn can also receive discretionary cash bonuses.

We also agreed to grant Mr. Quinn 100,000 shares of our common stock under our 2009 Employee and Consultant Stock Plan, subject to a nontransferability restriction which lapsed on December 25, 2011.

We also agreed to grant Mr. Quinn a total of 1,500,000 upfront stock options under our 2008 Stock Option Plan with 500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.65 per share) vesting after one year of service, 500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting after two years of service and 500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting after three years of service.

Under the Agreement, if Mr. Quinn is terminated without cause or due to his disability, or if he resigns for good reason (all as defined in the Agreement) or if we elect not to renew his employment term, then upon giving us a release he shall be entitled to six months of salary continuation and six months of COBRA premiums payments.

In April 2008 our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) to provide participating employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors with an additional incentive to promote our success. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to options and awards granted under the 2008 Plan is 8,800,000. The 2008 Plan is currently administered by our Board of Directors but may be subsequently administered by a compensation committee designated by our Board of Directors. The 2008 Plan authorizes the grant to 2008 Plan participants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, and stock appreciation rights. No option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. Upon separation from service, no further vesting of options can occur, and vested options will generally expire unless exercised within a year after separation. Generally, no option granted under the 2008 Plan is transferable by the individual or entity to whom it was granted otherwise than by will or laws of decent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such individual, is not exercisable by any other person, but only by him.

In December 2009 our Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Employee and Consultant Stock Plan (“2009 Plan”) to provide common stock grants to selected employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. The total number of shares subject to the 2009 Plan is 2,000,000. The 2009 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors.

In December 2010 our Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Plan (“2010 Plan”) to provide common stock option grants to selected employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. In June 2011, the Board increased the total number of shares subject to the 2010 Plan to 25,000,000. The 2010 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors.

3,825,000 of the shares shown as underlying in the “Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders” row consists of 1,000,000 shares underlying an option which we granted to Pharmacy Management Group, LLC in June 2011 as compensation for consulting services and 2,825,000 remaining shares underlying a warrant which we granted to Peltz Capital Management, LLC in October 2008 as compensation for consulting services. The Peltz warrant was amended by a September 2010 settlement and release agreement, pursuant to which 7,000,000 previously-issued warrants were returned to us under certain terms of the release. We canceled those 7,000,000 warrants in June 2011, and the 2,825,000 warrants included above are the only ones remaining outstanding to Peltz Capital Management, LLC as of September 30, 2011.

The Company also granted to Mr. Baksa 200,000 five-year stock options under our 2010 Stock Plan, which annual options would vest in one lump amount one year after they are granted, subject to continuation of service.

On June 29, 2010, we issued 606,768 shares of common stock to him in satisfaction of the total balance of $224,511 (which included accrued interest of $25,011), for an effective conversion rate of $0.37 per share.

Soapbox Mobile, Inc. Related-Party Arrangements
 
Anthony Macaluso is currently the majority shareholder of Soapbox Mobile, Inc., which provided the use of certain equipment and software to us from February 2008 through June 2010 at a monthly rate of $4,000 and had been providing them to us from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 at a monthly rate of $7,500. On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Anthony Macaluso whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire his majority interest in Soapbox. Under the terms of the option grant, the Company was required to pay and did a deposit of $155,000 which will be refunded in the event the acquisition does not close. Under the option agreement as modified, the agreement extends through March 31, 2012, during which both parties have the opportunity to perform due diligence necessary to determine the value of the majority interest and perform other actions necessary to complete the acquisition.

The warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per share and expire in three years.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus covers offers and sales of up to 3,278,119 shares of our common stock which may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus.

The table below identifies the selling stockholder and shows the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder before and after this offering, and the numbers of shares offered for resale by the selling stockholder. Our registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholder will sell all or any of its shares of common stock. However, the “Shares Beneficially Owned After Offering” columns in the table assume that all shares covered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholder and that no additional shares of common stock will be bought or sold by the selling stockholder. No estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering because the selling stockholder may offer some or all of the shares and, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares.

The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholder, and, if applicable, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, the amount of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before the offering, the amount being offered for the stockholder’s account, and the amount to be owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering. The natural person with voting and investment control over Peltz Capital Management, LLC’s beneficially owned Single Touch shares is Harlan Peltz.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act and is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 130,182,392 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 20, 2011. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of such person’s common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible promissory notes exercisable or convertible within 60 days after December 20, 2011 are deemed to be outstanding. Except as otherwise noted, we believe that the stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by it, subject to applicable community property laws. The information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon record ownership data provided by our transfer agent, information as supplied or confirmed by the selling stockholder or based upon our actual knowledge.

Pursuant to a settlement and release agreement effective as of September 29, 2010, by and among us, the selling stockholder and Anthony Macaluso, 7,000,000 of the warrants previously issued by us to the selling stockholder in a private placement on October 30, 2008, were returned to us by the selling stockholder pursuant and subject to certain terms of the settlement and release agreement. The table treats the 7,000,000 warrant shares as no longer being beneficially owned by the selling stockholder. Certain of the offered shares may have already been sold hereunder.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
General Background
 
Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 200 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 5 million shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value.
 
As of December 31, 2011, we had issued and outstanding 130,182,392 of shares of common stock, held by 251 stockholders of record. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, we had outstanding options to acquire 33,780,000 shares of common stock and outstanding warrants to acquire 16,030,986 shares of common stock.

Common Stock
 
Except as required by law, holders of our common stock are entitled to vote on all matters as a single class, and each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock owned. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends that may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Single Touch Systems, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock.

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Our outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future without further stockholder approval.

Our common stock is not currently traded on any national securities exchange and instead is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “SITO.”

Preferred Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, none of which as of the date hereof is designated or outstanding. The Board of Directors is vested with authority to divide the shares of preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series. Once authorized, the dividend or interest rates, conversion rates, voting rights, redemption prices, maturity dates and similar characteristics of the preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors, without the necessity of obtaining approval of our stockholders.

The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Single Touch Systems without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of and voting, economic and other rights of holders of our common stock.

Warrants
 
The shares and exercise-price figures below reflect adjustments for any stock splits, reverse stock splits and stock dividends. Warrants issued by Single Touch Interactive, Inc. are now exercisable only for shares of Single Touch Systems Inc. common stock.

In 2005, Single Touch Interactive, Inc. issued to one consulting firm and to Jordan Schur warrants for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. These warrants expire on July 15, 2015. In the merger, we assumed these warrants. These warrants do not have a net-exercise provision. Of these warrants, 1,250,000 have been canceled upon the issuance of 1,250,000 shares; and the remaining 1,250,000 warrants owned by Jordan Schur have been amended so that their exercise price is $0.70 per share (which exercise price can, however, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, be increased at the time of a proposed exercise to an exercise price no greater than the then market price per share).

From July 9, 2006 through July 23, 2007, in connection with issuances of convertible debt, Single Touch Interactive, Inc. issued to 20 note purchasers warrants for the purchase of 774,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.76 per share. Each respective warrant expires on the fifth anniversary of its date of grant. In the merger, we assumed these warrants. These warrants do not have a net-exercise provision. As of the date of this prospectus a total of 516,000 of these warrants were exercisable.

On July 25, 2007, Single Touch Interactive, Inc. issued to 2 consultants (including Laurence Dunn, a former director) warrants for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. These warrants expire on July 25, 2012. In the merger, we assumed these warrants. These warrants do not have a net-exercise provision.

On October 30, 2008, in connection with a Non-Exclusive Special Advisory Services Agreement, we issued to Peltz Capital Management, LLC warrants initially exercisable for the purchase of 5,952,362 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 per share. These warrants have a net-exercise provision and expire on October 30, 2013. The number of underlying shares and the exercise price of these warrants were subsequently adjusted to 11,000,000 and $0.08, respectively, under the terms of a September 29, 2010 settlement and release agreement, and as of the date of this prospectus 1,175,000 of such warrants have been satisfied via cash or net-exercise; and (under the terms of the September 29, 2010 settlement and release agreement) 7,000,000 of the warrants previously issued were returned to us in 2011 by Peltz Capital Management, LLC pursuant and subject to certain terms of the settlement and release agreement.

From December 13, 2009 through January 7, 2010, in connection with the sale of common stock, we issued to Mike Robert warrants to purchase 3,500,000 shares; 1,750,000 at an exercise price of $1.00 expiring on December 11, 2011 and 1,750,000 at an exercise price of $1.00 expiring on January 7, 2012.

These warrants were to expire on March 21, 2012. The warrants were extended on September 30, 2011 pursuant to the terms of a Settlement, Release & Discharge Agreement with Mr. Robert to expire on September 3, 2013. These warrants do not have a net-exercise provision.

The warrants expire three years after issuance; the exercise price of the warrants is $0.25 per share. The warrants do not allow for cashless exercise.
 
Anti-takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and our Charter and Bylaws
 
Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may make it more difficult to acquire control of us by various means. These provisions could deprive our stockholders of opportunities to realize a premium on the shares of common stock owned by them. In addition, these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our stock. These provisions are intended to:
 
enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board and in the policies formulated by the board;
discourage certain types of transactions which may involve an actual or threatened change in control of Single Touch Systems;
discourage certain types of transactions which may involve an actual or threatened change in control of Single Touch Systems;
discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights;
encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to consult first with the board of directors to negotiate the terms of any proposed business combination or offer; and
reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all our outstanding shares or that is otherwise unfair to our stockholders.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the board of directors or an officer authorized by it to do so. This limitation on the right of stockholders to call a special meeting could make it more difficult for stockholders to initiate actions that are opposed by the board of directors. These actions could include the removal of an incumbent director or the election of a stockholder nominee as a director. They could also include the implementation of a rule requiring stockholder ratification of specific defensive strategies that have been adopted by the board of directors with respect to unsolicited takeover bids. In addition, the limited ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders may make it more difficult to change the existing board and management.
 
Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
 
 
 
38

 
 
The Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws may be amended generally by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon or by the act of a majority of our directors.
 
We believe that we currently would not satisfy the elements of Section 203 of the DGCL (Section 203), and accordingly that currently the provisions of Section 203 would not apply to any proposed business combination in which we would be acquired. Under Section 203, certain business combinations between a Delaware corporation whose stock generally is publicly traded or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and an interested stockholder are prohibited for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the corporation has elected in its original certificate of incorporation not to be governed by Section 203 (we did not make such an election), (ii) the business combination was approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation before the other party to the business combination became an interested stockholder, (iii) upon consummation of the transaction that made it an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the commencement of the transaction (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to render or vote stock held by the plan), or (iv) the business combination was approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation and ratified by two-thirds of the voting stock which the interested stockholder did not own. The three-year prohibition also does not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of the majority of the corporation’s directors. The term business combination is defined generally to include mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation and an interested stockholder, transactions with an interested stockholder involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested stockholder’s percentage ownership of stock. The term interested stockholder is defined generally as a stockholder who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or, within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock. If it should become applicable to us in the future, Section 203 could prohibit or delay a merger, takeover or other change in control of our company and therefore could discourage attempts to acquire us.

Applicability of California Corporate Law
 
Although we are incorporated in Delaware, we may nonetheless be subject to Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, which imposes various requirements of California corporate law on non-California corporations if they have specified characteristics of ownership and operations indicating significant contacts with California. Public companies listed on a recognized national securities exchange are generally exempt from Section 2115. Since our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are potentially subject to the provisions of Section 2115. The key provision of California corporate law that may apply to us is the right of our stockholders to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

In May 2005, the Delaware Supreme Court in VantagePoint Venture Partners 1996 v. Examen, Inc. held that Section 2115 violates the internal affairs doctrine and thus does not apply to Delaware corporations. If followed by California courts, this ruling would mean that the cumulative voting requirements and other sections of the California Corporations Code do not apply to us. The impact of the Delaware Supreme Court’s decision on our situation, as it may be interpreted by California courts, is uncertain.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its current and former directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in connection with a legal proceeding. To be indemnified, the person must have acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person must not have had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.

The DGCL permits a present or former director or officer of a corporation to be indemnified against certain expenses if the person has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding brought against such person by virtue of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of the corporation. In addition, the DGCL permits the advancement of expenses relating to the defense of any proceeding to directors and officers contingent upon the person’s commitment to repay advances for expenses against such person is not ultimately entitled to be indemnified.
 
 
 
39

 
 
The DGCL provides that the indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL are not exclusive of any other right that a person seeking indemnification may have or later acquire under any provision of a corporation’s by-laws, by any agreement, by any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Furthermore, the DGCL provides that a corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect its directors and officers against any expense, liability or loss, regardless of whether the corporation has the power to indemnify such persons under the DGCL.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, we will indemnify our current and former directors and officers against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of their being threatened with or otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding by virtue of the fact that they are or were one of our officers or directors. However, we will not be required to indemnify an officer or director for an action, suit or proceeding commenced by that officer or director unless we authorized that director or officer to commence the action, suit or proceeding. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that we shall advance expenses incurred by any person we are obligated to indemnify, upon presentation of appropriate documentation.

Furthermore, our Bylaws provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of our directors and officers against any liability, expense or loss, whether or not we would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person under our Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL.
 
Also, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our (outside) directors and with Mr. Quinn.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors and officers, we have been advised that, although the validity and scope of the governing statute have not been tested in court, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In addition, indemnification may be limited by state securities laws.

Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling stockholder and any of its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock, registered hereunder, on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions, at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
to cover short sales made after the date this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission;
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon being notified in writing by the selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will, if then required, file a supplement to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the being notified in writing by the selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will, if then required, file a supplement to this prospectus in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
 
 
1.    Organization, History and Business
 
Single Touch Systems, Inc. (“the Company’) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc.  On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems, Inc.
 
On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”), a company incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2002, in exchange for issuing 42,967,554 shares of its common stock. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby Interactive’s operations continue to be reported as if it had actually been the acquirer. Assets and liabilities continue to be reported at Interactive’s historical cost, as the Company had nominal assets, liabilities and operations before the reverse acquisition.
 
The Company offers its patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, and multi-channel messaging gateway to its customers enabling them to reach consumers on all types of connected devices.
 
On May 27, 2008, Interactive declared a 1-for-2 reverse split of its common stock.  All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Company believes that the disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 filed with the Commission on December 30, 2011.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 
2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2012 amounts to 2011 classifications for comparative purposes.
 
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Single Touch Systems, Inc. and it’s wholly- owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc., and HSN, Inc. (an inactive company formed in New Jersey on August 21, 2001). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is derived on a per message/notification basis through the Company’s patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, designed to create multi-channel messaging gateways for all types of connected devices. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts.  Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses.  Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers.  Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.
 
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:
 
 
Software development
2- 3 years
 
Equipment
5 years
 
Computer hardware
5 years
 
Office furniture
7 years
 
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.  The Company determined that none of its long-term assets at December 31, 2011 were impaired.
 
Prepaid Royalties
The Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties, and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.
 
Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it abandons.
 
Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.
 
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 505-50, formerly SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.”  These standards define a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Binomial or Black-Scholes option-pricing models, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense totaling $31,106 through the vesting of 750,000 common stock options (See Note 12). During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $2,700,000 through the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to its executive chairman and $903,708 through the granting of options to management, employees, and non-executive directors to purchase 9,655,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.90 per share (See Note 12).
 
Loss Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of
 
 
 
 
Single Touch Systems, Inc.

the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of December 31, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 16,030,986 warrants and 33,780,000 options. Potential common shares as of December 31, 2010 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 39,336,820 warrants, 8,675,000 options, and $789,182 of debt convertible into 2,132,924 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time-to-time exceed the federally-insured limit.
 
Of the Company’s revenue earned during the three months ended December 31, 2011, approximately 99% was generated from contracts with eight customers covered under the Company’s master services agreement with AT&T. Of the Company’s revenue earned during the three months ended December 31, 2010, approximately 97% was generated from contracts with eight customers covered under the Company’s master services agreement with AT&T.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Convertible Debentures
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”).  A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
 
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-08, an amendment to Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” which simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. Previous guidance under Topic 350 required an entity to test goodwill for impairment using a two-step process on at least an annual basis. First, the fair value of a reporting unit was calculated and compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Second, if the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, the amount of impairment loss, if any, was required to be measured. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads the entity to determine that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to test goodwill for impairment under the two-step process as described under paragraphs 350-20-35-4 and 350-20-35-9 under Topic 350. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether early adoption is necessary.
 
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company ’ s financials properly reflect the change.

8.    Obligation on Patent Acquisitions
 
On March 15, 2010, the Company purchased six patents and three patent applications from an unrelated third party (“Seller”) for $900,000 of which $550,000 was paid on the execution of the purchase agreement. $175,000 was  due and paid on or before March 15, 2011 and the final installment of $175,000 is due on or before March 15, 2012. As the agreement did not provide for any stated interest on the payments, the Company was required to impute interest on the payment stream. The Company present valued the payments at $831,394 using an effective interest rate of 15% in its computation. Of the $831,394, $706,685 was allocated to the purchased patents and $124,709 was allocated to the patent applications. The patents are being amortized over 7 years. The value assigned to the patent applications is not being amortized. Upon the issuance of a patent, its respective cost will be amortized over the patent’s estimated useful life. Costs associated with abandoned applications are charged to operations.  The Company granted the Seller a license to utilize all acquired patents over their respective lives on a worldwide basis for no consideration. In addition, the Company is required to reserve for the Seller ten abbreviated dialing codes for a five-year period. The patents have been pledged as collateral against the remaining balance due.

9.    Convertible Debt
 
During the months of November and December 2011, the Company received a total of $1,800,000 in consideration for issuing convertible notes and warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to seven investors including a Company director.  The notes are assessed interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Principal and accrued interest is fully due one year from the respective date of each loan, but may be extended by mutual consent of the holder and the Company. Principal and interest accruing in one year are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.  Interest accrued on the notes during the three months ended December 31, 2011 charged to operations totaled $15,644.
 
The warrants became exercisable into common shares commencing on the date of each loan at a price of $0.25 per share and expire three years from the respective date of grant.
 
Pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” the convertible notes were recorded net of discounts that include the relative fair value of the warrants’ and the notes’ beneficial conversion features totaling $414,425. The discounts are being amortized to either interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party) over the one year term of the various notes using the effective interest method.  The initial value of the warrants of $362,909 was calculated using the binomial option model with a risk free interest rates ranging from 0.39% to 0.43%, volatility ranging from 100.79% to 103.00%, and trading prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.35 per share. The beneficial conversion feature of $51,516 was calculated pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 using trading prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.35 per share and an effective conversion price $0.0322 per share.
 
Amortization of the discounts for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totaled $19,965 of which $15,777 was charged to interest expense and $4,188 was charged to equity.

10.  Other Related Party Transactions
 
On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with its executive chairman whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire his majority interest in Soapbox. Under the terms of the option grant, the Company is required to pay a deposit of $155,000 which will be refunded in the event the acquisition does not close. Under the original option agreement the term was six months in which both parties would perform due diligence necessary to determine the value of his majority interest and perform other actions necessary to complete the acquisition. The option has been extended to March 31, 2012.
 
As discussed in Note 9, a Company director provided $500,000 of the $1,800,000  received in the Company’s convertible debt. issuance. As part of the consideration received for the $500,000, the director received warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of three years at a price of $0.25 per share, The $500,000 note is convertible into the Company’s common shares at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share.
 
 
11.  Fair Value
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of notes payable, convertible debentures and a derivative warrant liability.   Notes payable and convertible debentures are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value.  The Company determines the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations.  The Company determines the fair value of its derivative warrant liability based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Binomial Option Model in valuing the fair value of its derivative warrant liability.
 
The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”  ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
 
ASC 820-10 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. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, which  are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
 
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
 
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Single Touch Systems
Encinitas, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Single Touch Systems ("the Company") as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Single Touch Systems as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 and 2010

 
1.     Organization, History and Business
 
Single Touch Systems, Inc. (“the Company’) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc.  On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems, Inc.
 
On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002, in exchange for issuing 42,967,554 shares of its common stock. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby Interactive’s operations continue to be reported as if it had actually been the acquirer. Assets and liabilities continue to be reported at Interactive’s historical cost, as the Company had nominal assets, liabilities and operations before the reverse acquisition.
 
The Company offers its patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, and multi-channel messaging gateway to its customers enabling them to reach consumers on all types of connected devices.
 
On May 27, 2008, Interactive declared a 1-for-2 reverse split of its common stock.  All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.
 
 
2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Reclassification
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2010 amounts to 2011 classifications for comparative purposes.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Single Touch Systems, Inc. and it’s wholly- owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc., and HSN, Inc. (an inactive company formed in New Jersey on August 21, 2001).  Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is derived on a per-message/notification basis through the Company’s patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, designed to create multi-channel messaging gateways for all types of connected devices. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts.  Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses.  Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers.  Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed.  At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts.  Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
 
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:
 
 
Software development
2- 3 years
 
Equipment
5 years
 
Computer hardware
5 years
 
Office furniture
7 years
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by

estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.  The Company determined that none of its long-term assets at September 30, 2011 were impaired. During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized impairment losses totaling $218,776 pertaining to certain abandoned software development costs.
 
Prepaid Royalties
 
The Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties, and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.
 
Capitalized Software Development Costs
 
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it abandons.
 
Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration
 
All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 505-50, formerly SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment” and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.”  These standards define a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock for awards issued prior to October 1, 2010. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense totaling $4,592,430 from the issuance of a total 3,625,000 shares of its common stock to three officers, a director, and outside legal counsel valued at $3,047,000 and from the grant of common stock options and warrants valued at $1,545,430 (See Note 14). During the year September 30, 2010, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $1,152,626 from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor and $85,094 on the vesting of options to purchase 1,355,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 14).
 
Loss Per Share
 
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 16,030,986 warrants and 33,780,000 options. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2010 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 38,736,820 warrants, 8,675,000 options, and $771,497 of debt convertible into 2,085,126 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”  ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
 
ASC 820-10 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. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
 
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
 
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 and 2010

 
In November 2011, the Company approved borrowing of up to $2,000,000 against 1-year promissory notes, which term can be extended by mutual agreement of the holder and the Company, in minimum $100,000 units bearing 10% interest per annum payable annually. The notes can be prepaid without penalty at the option of the Company upon ten days written notice to the Holder. The principal and interest for 12 months is convertible, at the option of the holder, into common stock of the company at $0.50 per share. Each $100,000 note includes a warrant exercisable within three years entitling the holder to purchase as many as 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.25 shares; the warrants do not allow for cashless exercise. The terms of the Notes include standard default terms for acceleration, which include non-payment and insolvency. The Notes allow for the Company to obtain debt financing from a financial institution or other financial sponsor on typical terms and for such debt to be senior to the notes.
 
On November 14, 2011, the Company accepted a total of $1,000,000 in financing on the above-indicated terms. One of our Directors, Stephen Baksa, invested $500,000 in the units, and another shareholder invested $500,000.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, except that no indemnification will be provided to a director, officer, employee or agent if the indemnification sought is in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person without the authorization of the board of directors. The bylaws also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification shall be a contract right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreements, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity.
 
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our (outside) directors and our Chief Financial Officer.
 
In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any actions involving gross negligence. Notwithstanding this provision the DGCL does not permit us to eliminate personal liability for (i) breaches of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (iii) certain transactions under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) transactions from which a director derives an improper personal benefit.
 
We have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which provides, subject to certain policy limits, deductible amounts and exclusions, coverage for all persons who have been, are or may in the future be, our directors or officers, against amounts which such persons may pay resulting from claims against them by reason of their being such directors or officers during the policy period for certain breaches of duty, omissions or other acts done or wrongfully attempted or alleged. Such policies provide coverage to certain situations where we cannot directly provide indemnification under the DGCL.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, although the validity and scope of the governing statutes have not been tested in court in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Financial Statement Schedules.

Item 17.  Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser,
 
(ii) each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale before such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately before such date of first use.
 
Insofar as indemnification by the registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
