NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

 (Unaudited)

 

Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Description of Business

 

MeetMe, Inc. (the “Company”, “MeetMe”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), was incorporated in Nevada in June 1997. On December 6, 2011, the Company changed its legal domicile to Delaware. Effective June 1, 2012, the Company changed its name from Quepasa Corporation. The Company is a social media technology company which owns and operates MeetMe.com, previously known as myYearbook.com and Quepasa.com that completed its transition to MeetMe.com in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

MeetMe is a social network for meeting new people both on the web and using its mobile applications on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets that facilitate interactions among users and encourage users to connect with each other. MeetMe monetizes through advertising, virtual currency, and paid subscriptions. MeetMe provides users with access to an expansive, multilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing and other topics of interest to users. The Company offers online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations. The Company works with its advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placement.

 

The Company acquired XtFt Games S/S Ltda (“XtFt”), on March 2, 2011. On July 14, 2011, XtFt’s name was changed to Quepasa Games S/S Ltda (“Quepasa Games”).

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepares its unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013 and its statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 14, 2013.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MeetMe and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), MeetMe Online S/S Ltda (formerly Quepasa Games S/S Ltda from March 2, 2011), and Insider Guides (from November 10, 2011 until its merger into MeetMe, Inc. effective as of January 1, 2012). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued its game development and creation of intellectual properties business. Accordingly, games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Reclassification adjustments for discontinued operations were made to the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations for the periods presented.

 

 Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Most significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of stock-based employee and non-employee awards, valuation of warrants issued with debt, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluating goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets for impairment, useful lives of intangibles assets and property and equipment, and the measurement and accrual of restructuring costs and contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Note 2 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no new accounting pronouncements or updates to recently issued accounting pronouncements disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that affect the Company’s present or future results of operations, overall financial condition, liquidity or disclosures.

 

Note 3 —Discontinued Operations – Quepasa Games

 

The games development business of our Brazilian subsidiary, Quepasa Games, were discontinued on June 30, 2012 in order to streamline efforts to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and focus on the Company’s core social network business. In connection with this closure, the Company transferred the hosting responsibilities of its games Wonderful City Rio and Amazon Alive to third parties, Quepasa Games office in Curitiba, Brazil was closed and all Quepasa Games employees were terminated. The games business closure qualifies as a discontinued operation and accordingly the Company has excluded results for Quepasa Games operations from its continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented.

Note 4—Notes Receivable

 

In February 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with BRC Group LLC (“BRC”) effective as of September 22, 2009. Under the Settlement, BRC’s indebtedness to the Company was reduced from $350,000 to $250,000, evidenced by a new promissory note (the “BRC Note”) dated September 22, 2009. The BRC Note contains a repayment term of 18 months commencing June 1, 2011, bearing interest at the rate of 4% per annum, such interest to begin accruing February 1, 2011. As collateral for the BRC Note, BRC issued us a warrant (the “Warrant”) permitting us to receive up to a 30% membership interest in BRC upon default. If BRC defaults under the BRC Note and the Warrant is exercised, BRC shall have 90 days to repurchase the membership interest for the balance of the remaining principal and interest to date. As a result of the Settlement and the BRC Note, both parties agreed to a mutual release of the current litigation between the parties by filing a dismissal of the litigation with prejudice. Furthermore, both parties agreed to terminate all prior agreements between each other entered into before September 22, 2009, along with all duties rights and obligations thereunder. During the third quarter of 2013 BRC’s obligation to the Company pursuant to the BRC Note receivable has been met. Therefore, BRC will not be required to make any future payments under the agreement.

 

Note 5—Goodwill

 

The Company’s goodwill represents the fair value of the intangible assets, not subject to amortization, from the acquisitions of Quepasa Games and Insider Guides. At December 31, 2011, management assessed relevant events and circumstances in evaluating whether it was more likely than not that its fair values were less than respective carrying amounts of the acquired subsidiaries pursuant to ASC 350 Intangibles, Goodwill and Other. After evaluation of Quepasa Games’ performance for the period ended December 31, 2011 and projected 2012 performance, management determined that Quepasa Games could not achieve the performance necessary for the earn-out provision of the stock-purchase agreement and would require an impairment adjustment. A valuation of Quepasa Games was performed and a $2.5 million fair value was determined. A comparison of the Company’s approximately $3.8 million carrying value of the Quepasa Games and the $2.4 million implied value of goodwill resulted in a loss on impairment of approximately $1.4 million in 2011. Quepasa Games operations were discontinued on June 30, 2012 and accordingly a loss on impairment of goodwill of approximately $2.2 million was recorded as loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The translated value of goodwill for Quepasa Games varied at each interim reporting period due to changes in the foreign exchange rates.

 

Management’s assessment of the events and circumstance since the acquisition of Insider Guides shows positive operating performance, key metrics, customer retention, and no indicators that its fair value was less than its carrying amount at December 31, 2012. No impairment to goodwill occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012 for Insider Guides.

Note 8— Long Term Obligations

 

Senior Loans Payable

 

On November 10, 2011, in conjunction with the acquisition of Insider Guides, the Company assumed loans payable consisting of a growth capital term loan and three equipment term loans. The loans payable are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. Under the Loan and Security Agreement Number 2 (“LSA2”) growth term and equipment term loans, dated December 13, 2010, principal and interest are payable monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.50% per annum, and the loans are due September 2014. Under the Supplemental Loan and Security Agreement (“SLSA”), dated November 21, 2008, principal and interest are payable monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.60% per annum, and the loan was repaid by April 2012. Under the Supplement Number 2 Loan and Security Agreement (“S2LSA”) dated January 22, 2010, principal and interest are payable monthly at a fixed interest rate of 12.50% per annum, and the loan is due June 2013. On February 13, 2012, the loans payable and security agreements were amended and restated to include additional debt covenants. The amendment includes limitations of additional $6 million of bank borrowing and indebtedness for leased office equipment.  The amendment requires that the Company’s unrestricted cash and accounts receivable be greater than or equal to 200% of the borrowers indebtedness and the Company’s unrestricted cash be greater than or equal to the aggregate amount of interest that will accrue and be payable through the maturity date of loans payable and security agreement. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the amended loans payable and security agreements debt covenants.

 

On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into an $8.0 million loan and security agreement with Value Lending & Leasing VI, Inc. and Value Lending and Leasing VII, Inc., at 11% fixed interest rate, maturing in 36 months, and which may be drawn in three tranches (the “Loan”). On April 29, 2013, the Company drew $5.0 million on the facility. Interest is payable monthly for the first six months of the loan term, and monthly principal and interest payments are due thereafter through the maturity date. The Company issued warrants to each of the lenders in conjunction with the loan facility with an initial aggregate exercise price of $400,000, which increased by $100,000 with the first tranche and increases by $150,000 with the second and third tranche draw down of the Loan. The Loan payable is net of the discount of valuation on the related warrants (See Note 14). The discount is amortized on the straight-line basis over the 36 month debt term. The lenders will have a priority first security lien on substantially all assets of the Company. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants related to the Loan.

Subordinated Notes Payable

 

On January 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with Mexicans & American Trading Together, Inc. (“MATT”). Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement: (i) MATT invested $5,000,000 in the Company and the Company issued MATT a subordinated promissory note due October 16, 2016 with 4.46% interest per annum (the “MATT Note”); (ii) the exercise price of MATT’s outstanding Series 1 Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $12.50 per share to $2.75 per share; (iii) the exercise price of MATT’s outstanding Series 2 Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $15.00 per share to $2.75 per share (see Note 14); and (iv) the Amended and Restated Support Agreement between the Company and MATT was terminated, which terminated MATT’s obligation to provide us with the use of a corporate jet for up to 25 hours per year through October 2016. Debt issuance costs of $24,580 related to this transaction have been capitalized within the other assets section of the balance sheet were amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. The balance of deferred debt issuance costs was approximately $11,000 at December 31, 2012 and was included in other assets.

 

On March 5, 2013, the Company, Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“AHMSA”) and MATT entered into an agreement to offset the MATT Note with approximately $6.0 million of accounts receivable that MATT and AHMSA owed to the Company (the “Receivable”).  As of March 5, 2013, $6,254,178 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding under the MATT Note, and the Receivable had a balance of $6,025,828 plus interest of $222,446 from the agreement.  MATT exercised warrants dated October 17, 2006 at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “MATT Warrants”) to purchase 2,147 shares of common stock using the amount by which the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Note exceeded the amount of the Receivable.  As a result of these transactions, both the MATT Note and the Receivable have been deemed fully satisfied.  In connection therewith, MATT has agreed to exercise or forfeit the MATT Warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000 over an eleven-month period beginning in March 2013.  The Company recorded a net loss on debt restructure of approximately $712,000 in connection with the debt offset and warrant, attributable to the write-off of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs at the date of the agreement.

Note 8— Long Term Obligations - continued

 

On January 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “RSI Agreement”) with Richard L. Scott Investments, LLC (“RSI”). Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement: (i) RSI invested $2,000,000 in the Company and the Company issued RSI a subordinated promissory note due March 21, 2016 with 4.46% interest per annum (the “RSI Note”); (ii) the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding Series 2 Warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $4.00 per share to $2.75 per share, (See Note 14); and (iii) the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding Series 3 Warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock was reduced from $7.00 per share to $2.75 per share. Debt issuance costs of $15,901 related to this transaction have been capitalized within the Other Assets section of the balance sheet and were amortized to interest expense over the life of the RSI Note. The balance of deferred debt issuance costs was approximately $6,300 at December 31, 2012 and was included in other assets.

 

On March 5, 2013, the Company and RSI entered into an agreement pursuant to which RSI exercised warrants dated as of March 21, 2006 to purchase one million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “RSI Warrants”).  RSI paid the exercise price of the RSI Warrants by offsetting that same amount under the RSI Note.  The Company paid RSI $107,504 in cash, which represented the difference between the aggregate exercise price of the RSI Warrants of $2,750,000, and the total amount of principal and interest under the RSI Note that would have accrued through the 2016 due date of $2,857,504.  As a result of these transactions, the RSI Warrants have been fully exercised and are of no further force or effect and the RSI Note has been deemed fully satisfied. The Company recorded a net loss on debt restructure of approximately $463,000 in connection with the warrant exercise and debt cancellation, attributable to the write-off of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs, and accelerated interest at the date of the agreement.

 Convertible Note Payable

 

On March 21, 2013, the Company issued a non-interest bearing $600,000 note payable to a third party, maturing six months from the origination date, in settlement of a trademark dispute. The note payable is convertible solely at the option of the Company into shares of its common stock. The Company had the option to convert as a whole or in part up to the entire amount outstanding under the note payable into Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion notice. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company executed its option to convert in whole the entire amount outstanding under the note payable into the Company’s common stock at $1.96 per share resulting in the issuance of 306,122 shares of common stock of the Company. Therefore the Company is no longer under any obligation pursuant to the convertible note agreement.

Restructuring Costs

 

On November 16, 2011, management announced a restructure plan consolidating operations. Restructuring costs include the employee relocation expenses, severance costs of terminated employees, the costs of contractual termination benefits and future service required payments, and exit costs of office, data and service center closures. Employee relocation expenses and severance costs are expensed as incurred and classified as acquisition and restructuring costs. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company announced a cost reduction initiative, including a workforce reduction of 15%. In addition, the Company implemented the workforce reduction and initiated further cost reductions by closing certain satellite offices and consolidating real estate facilities. The Company recorded restructuring costs of $2.5 million within operating expense related to the exit costs of non-cancellable leases and workforce reduction costs excluding the impact of stock based compensation expense reversals associated with employee terminations resulting from the restructure. Accrued restructuring expenses were approximately $2.0 million and $224,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company expects to pay approximately $1.8 million of the accrued restructuring expenses in severance and related employee exit costs to its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during the remainder 2013.

Litigation

 

From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. We operate our business online, which is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governments. In July 2011, the Company received a subpoena from the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) seeking records relating to our operations including specifically our e-mail marketing practices. Our attorneys advised us that federal law preempted the NYAG’s inquiry in the absence of any deceptive acts, and that they did not believe our e-mail marketing involved any deceptive practices. Nevertheless, we chose to cooperate fully with the NYAG and made certain changes to our email practices on Quepasa.com to address the concerns. On August 15, 2012, we entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with NYAG, agreed to pay $20,000 to NYAG, and agreed to comply with the State of New York laws and industry practices regarding certain e-mail marketing campaigns. The Company charged this expense to general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2012. The NYAG agreed to discontinue its investigation. 

 

On November 18, 2011, Jeffrey Valdez, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors who was also a paid consultant to the Company sued the Company in the Superior Court of California for breach of contract relating to the ownership and use of certain intellectual property that he allegedly created.  The plaintiff also claimed that the Company and John Abbott, its Chief Executive Officer, never intended to honor the contract.  The Company denied these allegations and maintained that the plaintiff did not create any original intellectual property and that the Company was not otherwise using any intellectual property created by the plaintiff.  The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss Valdez’s claim that the Company fraudulently induced him to enter into the Consulting Agreement. The Court also dismissed the claim against Mr. Abbott. On June 25, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and made a $150,000 payment to the plaintiff for release of all claims and charged this expense to general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012. Accordingly, the United States District Court in the Central District of California issued an Order to Dismiss with Prejudice on July 2, 2012.

 

On September 8, 2011, Stacey Caplan, a former employee of the Company, filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) alleging sexual discrimination by the Company in the period following her voluntary resignation from the Company. The Company denied the allegations. On July 6, 2012, the EEOC found the complaint unfounded and closed its file. On January 28, 2013, Stacey Caplan sued the Company and its Chief Financial Officer, Michael Matte, in the Florida Circuit Court for Palm Beach County for alleged unlawful discrimination on the basis of sex and tortious interference with contractual relations. On April 17, 2013 the Court dismissed the plaintiff’s tortious interference claims against the Company, and April 19, 2013 the plaintiff withdrew its claims against Mr. Matte. The Company believes the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

 

By letter dated October 23, 2012, a third party accused the Company of breach of contract and infringement of trademark. The Company recorded a contingent liability of $1 million for the probable settlement of this matter to accrued expense and other liabilities and charged this expense to general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012. In settlement of the matter, on March 21, 2013 the Company paid $400,000 to the third party and issued a non- interest bearing $600,000 note payable that was convertible solely at the option of the Company into shares of its common stock (see Note 8).

 

Future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.

Note 10—Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into a transaction with Mexicans & Americans Thinking Together Foundation, Inc. (the “Organization”) terminating the Corporate Sponsorship and Management Services Agreement (the “CSMSA”). In consideration for the Transaction, the Company issued the Organization 25,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, (the “Original Series A”). Dividends on the Original Series A accrued from the date of issuance at the rate per annum of 4.46% on the Stated Value ($100 per share) and were cumulative. On May 12, 2011 the preferred stock was converted to 336,927 of common shares at the election of the Organization and dividend accrual terminated at the date of the conversion. On August 22, 2011, November 28, 2011, and January 18, 2012, $100,000, $50,000, and $100,000 respectively, partial dividend payments were made to the Organization. Accrued dividends were $69,455 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

On September 20, 2011, the Company amended the rights and preferences of the Original Series A (“Series A”). The Company sold 1,000,000 shares of new Series A convertible preferred for $5,000,000 to Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, LTD and Harvest Small Cap Partners, LP (collectively “Harvest’). The new Series A shares were convertible at a conversion price per share based on the following: the lower of (i) $3.5785 or (ii), if the Merger of the Company and myYearbook closed, the lower of (A) 85% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the Merger or (B) 85% of the volume weighted average price during the 20 trading days ending with the date of the closing of the Merger. On November 10, 2011, Harvest converted the Series A into 1,479,949 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38.

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (“Series A-1”) to MATT for $5,000,000.  MATT was an existing stockholder of the Company.  The Series A-1 shares are convertible, at MATT’s option, into 1,479,949 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price per share of approximately $3.38, and have voting rights on as converted basis.

 

Note 11—Common Stock

 

The Company issued 122,685 shares of common stock in connection with the exercises of stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (see Note 13). During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 1,002,147 common shares in connection with the exercises of warrants (see Note 14) and 306,122 common shares to MEETMOI as a result of the conversion of the note payable to shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 8).

 

Note 12—Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

 

The Company computes and presents net earnings (loss) per share using the treasury stock method. Net earnings (loss) per common share, or basic loss per share, is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of the Company’s common shares outstanding. Net earnings (loss) per common share assuming dilutions, or diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by reflecting the potential dilution from the exercise of in-the-money stock options, unvested restricted stock, warrants and convertible preferred stock.

 

At September 30, 2013 and 2012 all potentially dilutive securities, in-the-money stock options unvested restricted stock, warrants and convertible preferred stock, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive, since the Company reported a net loss for these periods.

 

The following table summarizes the number of dilutive securities, which may dilute future earnings per share, outstanding as of the dates presented, but not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share:

Note 13—Stock-Based Compensation

 

The fair values of share-based payments related to stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect over the expected term at the time of grant. Stock based compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. During 2013 and 2012, the Company continued to use the simplified method to determine the expected option term since our stock option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term. 

 

The Company began granting restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to its employees in April 2013. The cost of the RSAs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for RSAs is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. RSAs generally vest over a three-year period with 33% vesting at the end of one year and the remaining vesting quarterly or annually thereafter.

 

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

  

Stock based compensation expense includes incremental stock-based compensation expense as follows:

Note 14—Warrants

 

In March 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share as compensation to our then Chief Executive Officer. These warrants were still outstanding on September 30, 2013 and expire in March 2016. During March 2006, the Company issued three series (Series 1, 2 and 3) of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $2.87, $4.00, and $7.00 as compensation for certain strategic initiatives, including acquiring the services of our then Chief Executive Officer. The Series 1 warrant was exercised in 2006. Of the remaining warrants 50% (1,000,000) were owned by RSI. Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding warrants was reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the RSI Note of $263,690, to be amortized over the life of the RSI Note, (see Note 8). The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and expire in March 2016. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note. On March 5, 2013, the Company and RSI entered into an agreement pursuant to which RSI exercised its warrants.   At September 30, 2013, the RSI Warrants have been fully exercised and are of no further force or effect.

In October 2006, the Company issued two series of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $12.50 and $15.00 per share to MATT in connection with the issuance of common stock. On January 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with MATT. Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement the exercise price of MATT’s outstanding warrants was reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the MATT Note of $1,341,692, to be amortized over the life of the MATT Note. These warrants expire in October 2016 and were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note. No such discount was recorded as the repriced warrants value decreased. On March 5, 2013, MATT exercised warrants to purchase 2,147 shares of common stock using the amount by which the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the MATT Note exceeded the amount of the Receivable (see Note 8).   MATT agreed to exercise or forfeit the MATT warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000 over an eleven-month period beginning in March 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 3013 400,002 warrants were forfeited. At September 30, 2013, MATT Warrants totaling 1,597,851 were outstanding.  

 

On April 29, 2013 the Company issued warrants to the lender in conjunction with a loan and security agreement with an initial aggregate exercise value of $400,000, which increases by $100,000 with the first tranche and by $150,000 with the second and third tranche draw down of the loan (see Note 8). The warrant exercise price will be the lesser of $1.96, and the price per share of the Company common stock issued in the next equity placement of the Company’s stock to occur after April 29, 2013, excluding any conversion of the March 21, 2013 Convertible Note Payable (see Note 8). The warrants expire on February 28, 2024 and include a cashless exercise provision. The aggregate exercise value of warrant is fixed at $500,000 with the initial drawn down of the Company’s loan, the exercise price of $1.96 is considered variable, and the number of warrants is a factor of the exercise value divided by the exercise price per warrant. The Company recorded the warrant as paid in capital after evaluation of the equity classification.

 

The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate:

Note 15—Transactions with Affiliates

 

Alonso Ancira serves on our Board of Directors as a non-employee director. Mr. Ancira also serves on the Board of Directors of the Organization, is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MATT, a principal stockholder of the Company and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of AHMSA, which owns MATT. The Company has participated in several significant transactions with MATT, the Organization and AHMSA. See Note 8 – Long term Obligations, Note 10 – Convertible Preferred Stock, and Note 14 – Warrants. These relationships do not qualify as related parties for accounting purposes under GAAP.

 

The Company earned $6.0 million of Social Theater revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from MATT. The Company did not have Social Theater revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from MATT or its parent company, AHMSA. At December 31, 2012, approximately $6.0 million of our combined accounts receivable were from AHMSA and MATT.

 

Note 16- Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, one non-affiliate customer, an advertising aggregator, comprised approximately 30% and 24% of total revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 an affiliate customer, a principal shareholder of the Company, MATT and its parent company, comprised zero and approximately 17%, respectively, of total revenues. The non-affiliate and affiliate customers comprised approximately 13% and 47% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

 

Note 17—Subsequent Events

 

On October 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Advertising Agreement with Pinsight Media+, Inc. (“Pinsight”) (the “Agreement”). The Agreement is effective from October 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, unless earlier terminated.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, Pinsight has the right and obligation to fill all of the Company’s advertising inventory on its MeetMe mobile app for iOS and Android (the “App”). The Agreement does not apply to other mobile apps or virtual currency features on the App, including without limitation, offer wall features and the Company’s Social Theater business. The Agreement contemplates the Company’s existing ad logic on the App. If the Company wishes to increase the number, type, frequency or scope of impressions on the App (“Additional Inventory”), it must first notify Pinsight and upon Pinsight’s written consent, said Additional Inventory will become subject to the Agreement.

 

Pinsight will pay for all ad requests that the Company delivers, whether or not Pinsight fills them. Pinsight will pay specified CPM rates depending on the type of ad; provided, however, that if more than a stated percentage of all page views on the App originate outside of the United States, then Pinsight will remit to the Company a percentage of gross revenue relating to international ad impressions in excess of such amount. The stated CPM rates for certain ads are subject to renegotiation under certain conditions; in such case, if the parties do not agree on a modified rate, then such ads will be excluded from the Agreement.

 

Prior to April 1, 2014, Pinsight will pay the Company’s invoices within ninety days; after such date, Pinsight will pay Company’s invoices within sixty days. Pinsight assumes all risk in regards to collection of all applicable advertiser fees with respect to all advertising inventory and may not delay payment to the Company as a result of non-collection or delay of payment by the advertisers. Pinsight will comply with the Company’s advertising editorial guidelines as in effect from time to time.

 

The Company may terminate the Agreement upon written notice if (i) Pinsight fails to pay any undisputed amount in a timely fashion, or (ii) in the Company’s sole discretion, Pinsight’s software development kit and those of its performance partners and the placement and running of ads on the App causes a diminution in the App user experience. Either party may terminate the Agreement (a) if the other party undergoes a change of control, (b) upon certain breaches by the other party, subject to cure periods, or (c) the other party files a petition for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or a receiver is appointed for such party or its business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

  

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation is set forth below. Certain statements in this report may be considered to be “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, these forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about:

 

 

our expectations regarding user engagement patterns;

 

our expectations regarding mobile usage by our users;

 

the impact of increased mobile usage and Social Theater competition on revenues and financial results;

 

our expectations relating to advertising and the effects of advertising and mobile monetization on our revenues;

 

our plans regarding product development, international growth and personnel;

 

our liquidity and expectations regarding uses of cash;

 

our expectations regarding payments relating to cost reduction initiatives;

 

the impact of new accounting policies; and

 

our plans for capital expenditures for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2013.

 

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

 

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include users’ willingness to try new product offerings, the risk that unanticipated events affect the functionality of our mobile application with popular mobile operating systems, any changes in such operating systems that degrade our mobile application’s functionality and other unexpected issues which could adversely affect usage on mobile devices, the risk that the mobile advertising market will not grow, the ongoing existence of such demand and the willingness of our users to complete mobile offers or pay for virtual currency. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

 

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed elsewhere in “Risk Factors,” located at Part II, Item 1A of this report and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2013, October 1, 2013 and November 6, 2013. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could materially and adversely affect any of our business, financial position, future results or prospects.

Company Overview

 

MeetMe is a social network for meeting new people both on the web and using its mobile applications on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets, including a combination of traditional social networking features (e.g. profiles, messaging, friend lists) and unique social discovery applications that facilitate interactions among users and encourage users to connect with each other. An example of such an application is the Live Feed, a location-based news feed that displays text, photo, and video posts of users geographically proximate to the viewing user. The MeetMe operating and user metrics include operating activity from the MeetMe.com and the former myYearbook.com website and mobile apps and excludes operating activity from the former Quepasa.com website and Quepasa Games.

 

Through the Live Feed and other features such as Locals and Match, users are able to discover relevant people around them. Once users connect through a feature, some portion of those users will take other actions with respect to particular users such as viewing their profiles and sending them messages. The platform’s health is a function of its number of active users, the number of new users joining per day, and the average revenue per user.

 

Trends in Our Operating Metrics

 

We measure site and application in terms of monthly active users (MAUs), visits and page views. We define “MAU” as a registered user of one of our platforms who has logged in and visited our websites or mobile applications within the last month of measurement. A “visit” represents a distinct user session, and a “page view” is a page that a user views during a visit. For the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the total MeetMe MAUs were approximately 5.34 million and 3.94 million, respectively. MeetMe visits were approximately 968 million and 370 million, respectively for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. MeetMe registered users numbered approximately 117 million and 89 million, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. MeetMe visits and page views exclude user visits and page views from iPhone users for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 because reliable data could not be tracked for that period.

 

 
24

 

 

Trends in Our User Metrics

 

We measure activity on our sites in terms of MAUs, daily active users (DAUs), average revenue per user (ARPU), average revenue per daily active user (ARPDAU), visits and page views. We define a mobile MAU as a user who accessed one of our sites by a mobile application or by the mobile-optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet such as the iPad during the month of measurement. We define a DAU as a registered user of one of our platforms who logged in and visited our websites or mobile applications within the day of measurement. We define a mobile DAU as a user who accessed our sites by one of our mobile applications or by the mobile-optimized version of our website, whether on a mobile phone or tablet such as the iPad during the day of measurement. We define ARPU as the average revenue per average monthly active user for web and mobile. We define ARPDAU as the average revenue per average daily active web or mobile user. Visits represent the number of times during the measurement period that users came to the site or mobile applications for distinct sessions. A page view is a page that a user views during a visit.

  

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, MeetMe averaged 2.66 million mobile MAUs and 5.34 million total MAUs, as compared to 1.95 million mobile MAUs and 3.94 million total MAUs on average for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and net increases of over 0.71 million and 1.40 million in mobile and total MAUs, respectively. Increases of approximately 37% for mobile and 36% for total MAUs, and international expansion and marketing. Mobile DAUs increased 112,000 to 790,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, a 16% improvement, from 678,000 in the third quarter of 2012. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, MeetMe averaged 1.14 million total DAUs, as compared to 1.11 million total DAUs on average for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, a net increase of approximately 30,000 total DAUs, or 3%.

 

We believe the shift of our audience from web to mobile is an important driver of our business. Our growth is largely driven by our mobile audience, which we currently monetize at lower rates than our web audience. We averaged 5.34 million MAUs on MeetMe in the third quarter 2013, flat to the second quarter of 2013. Our user base generated over 10.8 billion total page views in the third quarter of 2013, an upturn from the 10.4 billion page views in the same period of 2012.   The decline in web revenue is gradually being offset by growing mobile revenues. We have successfully increased our mobile ARPDAU by 42% to $0.040 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 from $0.028 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Our ability to grow our mobile audience and our mobile monetization at a faster pace than the decline in our web revenue will impact the performance of our business.

 

 

 
25

 

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, MeetMe earned an average of $1.44 in ARPU on the web and $1.10 in ARPU in our mobile applications, as compared to $2.34 in web ARPU and $0.91 in mobile ARPU for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. We believe the decline in ARPU between the quarters ended September 30, 2013 from 2012 is primarily due to lower web and mobile advertising revenue brought about from the transition to mobile access and increased international users with lower initial monetization rates. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company earned an average of $0.130 in web ARPDAU and $0.040 in mobile ARPDAU, as compared to $0.142 in web ARPDAU and $0.028 in mobile ARPDAU for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

 

  

Number of MAUs and DAUs:  We believe our ability to grow web and mobile MAUs and DAUs affects our revenue and financial results by influencing the number of advertisements we are able to show, the value of those ads, and the volume of virtual currency and subscription purchases, as well as our expenses and capital expenditures.

 

  

User Engagement:  We believe changes in user engagement patterns affect our revenue and financial performance. Specifically, the number of visits and page views each MAU or DAU generates affects the number of advertisements we are able to display and therefore the rate at which we are able to monetize our active user base.  We continue to create new features and enhance existing features to drive additional engagement.

     

  

Platform Trends:  We believe increasing use of MeetMe on mobile devices affects our revenue and financial results, as we currently display fewer ads on average to mobile users compared to users on personal computers, and we earn less revenue per ad impression as a result of the mobile advertising market being less established than the web advertising market. Increasing smart mobile device users provides opportunity for increased revenue. Mobile device users have a higher propensity to browse and engage in social media resulting in a greater share of time spent online happening on mobile devices. The majority of smart phone and tablet owners access social media from their devices through apps which are optimized for small-screen environment rather than the traditional fixed web access. The ratio of smart phone users is overtaking that of traditional phone users and a similar growth trend can be seen for the use of tablets compared to personal computers. Improving the rate at which we monetize our growing mobile traffic is a key priority, as we expect our users to continue to shift their usage from web to mobile for the foreseeable future. The acceleration in our user access to mobile impacted revenues negatively in the first nine months of 2013 and we expect the impact to gradually abate as mobile monetization continues to mature and as the mobile advertising market grows.

 

  

Advertising Rates:   Similar to many other publishers, the revenue we earn per thousand ad impressions (CPM) on the web is on a downward trend, while CPM in our mobile applications has been rising, but remains significantly lower as compared to the web. Our revenue and financial results are materially dependent on these broader industry trends, and to the extent CPM continues declining on the web and is not offset by the rising CPM on mobile, our operating results may be impacted. We expect to continue investing in new types of advertising and new placements, especially in our mobile applications. Additionally, we are prioritizing initiatives that generate revenue directly from users, including new virtual currency products and a premium subscription product, in part to reduce our dependency on advertising revenue. The Company’s mobile applications have increased our mobile native advertising unit inventory available for advertisers.

 

  

User Geography:  The geography of our users influences our revenue and financial results because we currently monetize users in distinct geographies at varying average rates.  For example, ARPU in the United States and Canada is significantly higher than in Latin America.  In 2012 and 2013, we laid the foundation for future international growth by localizing the MeetMe service into a total of thirteen languages with a focus on Western Europe and Asia.  We plan to continue to invest in user growth across the world, including in geographies where current per user monetization rates are relatively lower than in the United States and Canada.

 

   

New User Sources:  We believe the percentage of our new users that are acquired through inorganic paid sources has a material impact on our financial performance, specifically with regard to ARPU for web and mobile. Inorganically acquired users tend to have lower engagement rates, generate fewer visits and ad impressions and are less likely to buy virtual currency products. When paid marketing campaigns are ongoing, our overall usage and traffic increases due to the influx of inorganically acquired users, but the rate at which we monetize the average active user overall declines as a result.

 

  

Ad Inventory Management:  Our revenue trends are affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of advertisements we display. In general, more prominently displayed advertising units will generate more revenue per impression. Our Social Theater campaign expenses are materially dependent on the percentage of Social Theater campaigns that run on MeetMe.com and the percentage that run on our partners’ cross-platform networks. We work to maximize the share of Social Theater campaigns that run on MeetMe.com and run campaigns on our partners’ networks only when necessary to increase their reach.

 

  

Increased Social Theater Competition:  A significant portion of the revenue generated by Social Theater is derived from advertising campaigns that run on our partners’ cross-platform networks and not on MeetMe.com.  A recent increase in competitors offering similar technology solutions, and in some cases their own cross-platform distribution networks, may make it difficult to compete on price and win business. We expect this downward pressure on price to continue and impact our operating results in the future.

 

 
28

 

 

  

Seasonality:  Advertising spending is traditionally seasonal with a peak in the fourth quarter of each year. We believe that this seasonality in advertising spending affects our quarterly results, which generally reflect a growth in advertising revenue between the third and fourth quarters and a decline in advertising spending between the fourth and subsequent first and second quarters of each year.

   

  

Headcount:   We expect to leverage and supplement our current talent pool through managed growth. We plan to hire additional software engineers, other personnel with technology expertise, and sales personnel to support mobile and international expansion.

 

Growth trends in web and mobile MAUs and DAUs are critical variables that affect our revenue and financial results by influencing the number of advertisements we are able to show, the value of those ads, the volume of payments transactions, as well as our expenses and capital expenditures.

 

Changes in user engagement patterns from web to mobile and international diversification also affect our revenue and financial performance. We believe that overall engagement as measured by the percentage of users who create content (such as status posts, messages, or photos) or generate feedback increases as our user base grows. We continue to create new apps and enhance existing apps to lift social sharing and increase monetization.   

 

We believe our revenue trends are also affected by advertisement inventory management changes affecting the number, size, or prominence of advertisements we display and traditional seasonality.  Social Theater is a revenue product for MeetMe and on third-party sites.  Social Theater growth may be affected by large brand penetration, the ability to grow the advertiser base and advertiser spending budgets.

 

Recent Changes in our Senior Management

 

On September 3, 2013, Gavin Roy resigned as Chief Technology Officer of the Company. Mr. Roy has agreed to continue to assist the Company over the coming months in a non-executive capacity and will work with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Cook, on certain transition projects.

 

Also on September 3, 2013, Richard Friedman joined the Company as Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Friedman was formerly Chief Technology Officer of Stuzo, Inc., from March 4, 2013 to August 23, 2013. Mr. Friedman had served as MeetMe’s Vice President, Software Engineering, from November 10, 2011 to March 1, 2013. Mr. Friedman was appointed to that position in connection with the myYearbook merger. From December 2008 until the merger, Mr. Friedman served as the Vice President and Director of Software Engineering of myYearbook. From February 2008 to December 2008, Mr. Friedman was a founder of Ringside Networks, a social networking open source startup. From December 2004 to February 2008, Mr. Friedman held product manager roles at JBoss and its acquirer Red Hat for their respective systems management technology. From March 2003 to December 2004, Mr. Friedman served as First Vice President at Bank One and its acquirer JP Morgan Chase. From 1997 to 2004, Mr. Friedman held multiple roles, including Chief Technologist Bluestone Division, Director of Rich Media Technology and Senior Integration Architect, at Bluestone Software and its acquirer Hewlett-Packard.

 

Discontinued Operations from Quepasa Games

 

On June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued its games development and associated intellectual properties creation operations.  Accordingly, games operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Game revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, the sales price was fixed or determinable, collectability was reasonable assured, and the service was rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service had been provided to the player, we determined an implied obligation existed to the paying player to continue displaying the purchased virtual items within the online game of a paying player over their estimated life.  

 

Games expenses represented the direct expenses for hosting, marketing, site fees, reporting and foreign taxes. Games product development and content expenses included salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation for our employees, utility charges, and production office costs, were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred. Game exit costs included severance costs of terminated employees and exit costs of office closure expenses and were charged to discontinuing operations as incurred.

Results of Operations for the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues were approximately $10.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1.5 million or 13% compared to $11.6 million for the same period in 2012. The net decrease in non-affiliated revenue is attributable to decreases of approximately $2.4 million in web advertising and virtual currency products, and offset by a net increase of $0.7 million mobile advertising and virtual currency product revenues.

  

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses decreased approximately $781,000, or 27%, to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $2.7 million for the same period in 2012. Decreased sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to cost reductions of $328,000 attributable to decreased sales and marketing salaries, sales commissions, related expenses and stock compensation costs for decreased sales staff, and due to decreased advertising and marketing expenses of $470,000.

 

Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 14%, to $6.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The net decrease in product development and content expense is attributable to a net reduction of $600,000 of third party content costs for cross platform Social Theater affiliate campaigns The drop for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 expenses also reflects cost reductions of approximately $359,000 associated with decreases in salary, bonuses, related expenses, and stock compensation costs for decreased workforce.

 

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses decreased $465,000, or 23%, to $1.54 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $2.00 million for the same period in 2012. The aggregate decrease in general and administrative costs is due to reductions of approximately $300,000 from stock-based compensation expense, and $150,000 to lower salary and bonus expense.

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation expense included in the operating expense by category, decreased approximately $176,000 to $851,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,027,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily the result of reversals of unvested stock compensation for terminated employees related to the reduction in workforce that took place May 1, 2013.

Results of Operations for the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues were approximately $27.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $7.7 million or 26% compared to $35.1 million for the same period in 2012. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included $6 million of Social Theater revenue from MATT. The Company did not have Social Theater revenue from affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our revenue from non-affiliates of $27.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreased approximately $1.7 million, or 6%, from the same period in 2012. The decline in revenue is also attributable to a deceleration in web advertising and web virtual currency product revenues of $4.4 million and reductions in Social Theater revenue due to timing of campaign substantially offset by an increase of $3.6 million in mobile virtual currency product and advertising revenue.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses decreased approximately $694,000, or 11%, to approximately $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $6.1 million in 2012. Decreased sales and marketing expenses are primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $200,000 in salaries and a decrease in advertising and marketing expenses of $400,000.

 

Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses decreased approximately $3.1 million, or 14%, to $19.5 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $22.6 million in 2012. The net decrease in product development and content expense is attributable to a net reduction of $2.0 million of third party content costs for cross platform Social Theater affiliate campaigns. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 expenses also reflects cost reductions of approximately $781,000 associated with (i) decreases in salary, bonuses, related expenses, and stock compensation costs for decreased domestic workforce, (ii) cost savings achieved with the closure of our former Mexico service center and related workforce reduction, (iii) migration and merger of Quepasa.com, and (iv) $300,000 in the cost of the Company’s platform language internationalization projects which were ongoing during 2012 and completed in the first quarter of 2013.

 

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses decreased $566,000, or 9%, to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $6.3 million for the same period in 2012. The aggregate decrease in general and administrative costs is due to reductions of approximately $201,000 in trade receivable write-offs attributable to improved monitoring and collection processes; $187,000 in legal settlement costs; and a net decrease of $196,000 in travel costs, professional service fees, office expenses, and administrative costs.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation expense for continuing operations, included in the operating expense by category, decreased approximately $144,000 to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The net decreased is primarily the result of approximately $564,000 of accelerated stock compensation attributable to the immediate vesting of stock options for the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at March 31, 2013 offset substantially by the reversals of unvested stock compensation for terminated employees related to the reduction in workforce that took place on May 1, 2013. Stock based compensation expense for discontinued operations, included in the loss from discontinued operations category, was approximately $152,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and zero for the same period in 2013 and the decreased expense is attributable to employees terminated in 2012. Stock based compensation expense for continuing operations represented 7% of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $3.7 million and $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and unvested restricted stock awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately two to three years.

Depreciation and amortization expense

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $392,000 to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $2.9 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is due to the depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets associated with the server and computer equipment acquisitions made in 2012 and 2013.

 

Restructuring Costs

  

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, restructuring costs were approximately $0 and $2.5 million and $354,000 and $891,000, respectively, including the accrual of the exit cost of non-cancellable leases, employee exit and relocation costs, excluding the impact of stock based compensation expense reversals associated with employee terminations resulting from the restructure. The Company expects to pay approximately $1.8 million of the accrued restructuring expenses in severance and related employee exit costs to its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during 2013.

Our cash balances are kept liquid to support our growing infrastructure needs for operational expansion.  The majority of our cash is concentrated in two large financial institutions, Comerica and JP Morgan Chase.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had positive working capital of approximately $5.0 million. The reduction in the Company’s working capital is primarily attributable to the offset of $6 million in accounts receivable and the cancellation of subordinate note payable with accrued interest from MATT. As of the date of November 6, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $7.7 million.

  

The Company may borrow up to $6 million of debt from financial institutions and under capital leases through its Loan and Security Agreement, provided that the Company has unrestricted cash and accounts receivable greater than 200% of its outstanding debt under the Debt Agreement.  As of the date of November 6, 2013, the Company owed approximately $7.2 million on its loans payable of which $613,000 is due through September 2014, and $4.8 million through April 2016.

  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into capital leases with an approximate aggregate original principal amount of $449,000. Together with capital leases that were previously entered into by the Company, as of November 6, 2013, the Company had a $1.8 million in principal amount of capital lease indebtedness, of which approximately $613,000 is due through September 30, 2014.

 

On May 1, 2012, the Company announced a cost reduction initiative including a workforce reduction of approximately 15%, in conjunction with our focus on mobile programming. Further cost reductions were achieved by closing satellite offices and consolidating real estate facilities. The Company incurred approximately $531,000 of cash expenditures related to employee severances and employee related costs during the second quarter of 2013. The Company expects to incur approximately $72,000 of cash expenditures related to employee severances, employee related costs, and exit costs for non-cancellable leases during the third quarter of 2013. The Company also expects to pay approximately $1.8 million in severances and related employee costs to its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during 2013.

 

 
34

 

 

The Company believes that, with its current available cash, anticipated revenues and collections on its accounts receivables, and its access to capital through various financing options, it will have sufficient funds to meet its anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months. 

 

We have budgeted capital expenditures of $750,000 for the remainder of 2013, funded primarily through capital leases, which will support our growth of domestic and international business through increased capacity, performance improvement, and expanded content.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Our principal commitments consist of obligations for debt, capital and operating leases for equipment and office and data center facilities. There were no material changes in our commitments under contractual obligations for the quarter ending September 30, 2013 to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

  

Non-GAAP – Financial Measures

 

The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with GAAP, as well as a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

 

We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measure in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparison.

 

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of stock-based compensation, nonrecurring acquisition, restructuring or other expenses and goodwill impairment charges. The Company excludes stock based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our operating results from period to period after removing the impact of acquisition related costs, and other items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items.

 

We have included a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between the Company and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measure to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (loss) from continuing operations allocable to common shareholders, a GAAP financial measure:

Management uses mobile bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performances of our mobile virtual currency products and subscriptions. The Company defines mobile bookings as the total amount of revenue from the sale of our mobile virtual currency products that would have been recognized in a period if we recognized all revenue immediately at the time of sale. We record the sale of Credits and mobile subscriptions as deferred revenue. Credits are recognized when spent by the user. For the MeetMe+ subscription product, revenue is allocated between the elements of the subscriptions, Credits and services, using the relative sales value method. The service revenue element of the subscription is recognized over the respective life of the subscription and the credit revenue is recognized as revenue when used. The following table presents a reconciliation of mobile bookings, a non-GAAP financial measure to Revenue, a GAAP financial measure:

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Applying these principles requires our judgment in determining the appropriateness of acceptable accounting principles and methods of application in diverse and complex economic activities. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board. In addition, there are other items within our unaudited consolidated financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts Receivable Allowances

 

We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses and for potential discounts based on historical experience and other information available to management.  Discounts historically represent less than 1% of the related revenues.  The fees associated with display advertising are often based on “impressions,” which are created when the ad is viewed.  The amount of impressions often differs between tracking systems, resulting in discounts on some payments. We have hundreds of customers that advertise on thousands of publishers, and it is not possible for all of the parties to agree to designate a single standardized system for measuring impressions. Differences between ad serving platforms with respect to impressions is primarily due to lag time between serving of ads and other technical differences.  For example: In the publisher’s platform an impression might be counted as soon as the web page opens; however, if the user were to close his or her web browser window as soon as the page is rendered, that impression data might not be counted by the advertisers tracking system, nor would the advertiser consider it a valid impression.  The discounts would be determined by taking the difference in impressions between the two tracking systems and applying the appropriate CPM (cost per thousand) that the impressions were being served, so if we agreed to a CPM of $1.00 with an advertiser, and we reported 100,000 impressions, and the advertiser had 95,000 impressions, the discount would be calculated as follows – 5,000 impressions divided by 1,000 multiplied by $1.00 to come up with a discount of $5.00.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Our advertising revenue is a combination of two components: remnant advertising sales and Social Theater campaigns.  Social Theater campaigns may produce individually significant revenue based upon the timing of the delivery of the campaign.  The Company integrates sales with aggregators for remnant Internet advertising that represent thousands of different clients. There are many of these aggregators that could provide similar sources of advertising revenue. Our business is not dependent on any one or a few major customers; however our advertising revenue composition may result in significant customer concentrations due to the timing of large Social Theater campaigns and advertising aggregators.

 

Contingencies

 

We accrue for contingent obligations, including legal costs and restructuring costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As facts concerning contingencies become known we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters that are subject to change as events evolve and additional information becomes available.

Income Taxes

 

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock.  We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We follow the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. We have elected to use the simplified method described in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14C to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

 

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, see the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2013. There have not been any material changes in our critical accounting estimates or accounting policies since December 31, 2012.

 

Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no new accounting pronouncements or updates to recently issued accounting pronouncements disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, that materially affect the Company’s present or future results of operations, overall financial condition, liquidity or disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

There were no material changes in market risk during the three months ended September 30, 2013. 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013, noted during the evaluation of controls as of the end of the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls  

 

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.  The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business.  There are currently no such pending proceedings to which we are a party that our management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. There were no material changes in litigation during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.   

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by the risks and information set forth on our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2013, October 1, 2013 and November 6, 2013, in evaluating our business, financial position, future results and prospects. The risks described in these filings are not the only risks we face.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On September 17, 2013, the Company exercised its right to convert a $600,000 note it had issued to MeetMoi LLC on March 21, 2013 (the “MeetMoi Note”) in settlement of a contract and trademark dispute. The Company subsequently issued MeetMoi LLC 306,122 shares of its common stock at $1.96 per share (the “Securities”). The Securities were offered and sold in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and/or Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act. MeetMoi LLC is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
