NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Alternet Systems Inc. (Alternet or the Company), through its subsidiaries, provides leading edge mobile financial solutions and mobile security and related solutions. The former are offered throughout the Western Hemisphere, but most actively in Central and South America and the Caribbean, and the latter are offered globally.
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 26, 2000, under the name North Pacific Capital Corp. In 2001 the Company changed its name to SchoolWeb Systems Inc. and then, in 2002, to Alternet Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2007 the Company executed a merger with TekVoice Communications, Inc. of Miami, Florida. Since then the Company has changed business focus and strategy to mobile financial services and mobile security. In 2011 TekVoice became inactive.
In July 2009, the Company purchased 51% of the outstanding shares of Alternet Transactions Systems, Inc. (ATS), a company incorporated in the State of Florida on July 29, 2009, for $5,100. ATS is doing business as Utiba Americas. In December 2011, ATS opened a branch in Ecuador.
In September 2009, the Company purchased 60% of the outstanding shares of International Mobile Security, Inc. (IMS), a company incorporated in the State of Florida for $6,000.
In February 2011, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Megatecnica, S.A., a company incorporated in Panama.
In August 2011, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Utiba Guatemala, S.A., in Guatemala.
In September 2011, the Company formed two one-member limited liability companies, Alternet Financial Solutions, L.L.C. and Alternet Payment Solutions, L.L.C., in the State of Florida.
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2012 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,015,136. The Companys continued operations are dependent on the successful implementation of its business plan, its ability to obtain additional financing as needed, continued support from creditors, settling its outstanding debts and ultimately attaining profitable operations.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the following companies:
The minority interests of ATS, IMS, and ATSs and IMSs wholly owned subsidiaries have been deducted from earnings and equity. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the
Companys financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all
liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less when
purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Equipment
Fixed assets are recorded at cost and
depreciated at the following rates:
Computer equipment | - | 30% declining balance basis |
Computer software | - | 30% declining balance basis |
Equipment | - | 20% declining balance basis |
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
Management monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets
based on estimates using factors such as current market value, future asset
utilization, and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its
investment or use of the related assets. The Companys policy is to record any
impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of
the asset may not be recoverable. Any impairment loss is calculated as the
excess of the carrying value over estimated realizable value.
Intellectual Property The Company accounts for its intellectual property in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Under the provisions of SFAS 142, intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are subject to impairment tests at each reporting date. The Company assesses the impairment of intangible assets on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value is less than its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is considered impaired and the second step of the test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues
from the sale of licenses of software, implementation services, support
services, and telecommunication services. Revenues are recognized when title
transfers or services are rendered, as follows:
a) |
Revenue from the sale of licenses is recognized when the title of the license transfers to the customer. | |
b) |
Revenue from implementation services performed is recognized upon completion of the service. | |
c) |
Revenue from support services is recognized as earned. | |
d) |
Revenue from telecommunications and hosted services are recognized when billed, which occurs in the month the services are provided. |
The Company invoices 100% of the implementation services and requires customers to pay a non-refundable deposit prior to any services being performed. The Company recognizes the customer deposit as unearned revenue until either completion of the implementation or upon the contract being cancelled at which time the revenue is recognized. The uncollected portion of the implementation invoice is recorded as customer deposits until collection has occurred, completion of the implementation services, or upon the contract being cancelled.
The Company invoices support services at the beginning of the term and recognizes the revenue over the term of the agreement.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial
statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation,
foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their
United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at
the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of
exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a
separate component of stockholders deficit, whereas gains or losses resulting
from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of
operations.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, the Company has determined
the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information
and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments
classified as current assets or liabilities approximate carrying value due to
the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
under a method which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in the Companys financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and tax basis of
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. The Company presently prepares
its tax returns on the cash basis and financial statement on the accrual basis.
No deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recognized at this time, since
the Company has shown losses for both tax and financial reporting.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006,
the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and
measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees using the intrinsic value
method of accounting, under which compensation expense was only recognized if
the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options was less than the
market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123R Share Based Payments, using the modified prospective
transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized
for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January
1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all share-based
payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair
value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Loss per Share
The Company computes net earnings
(loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No.
128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on
the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net
loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives
effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period
including warrants using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all
dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As the
Company has net losses, no common equivalent shares have been included in the
computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Risk Management
The Company is exposed to credit
risk through accounts receivable and therefore, the Company maintains adequate
provisions for potential credit losses.
The Companys functional currency is the United States dollar. The Company operates in foreign jurisdictions, giving rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk to the Company's operations arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Company History and Business
Alternet Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 26, 2000, under the name North Pacific Capital Corp. In 2001 the Company changed its name to SchoolWeb Systems Inc. and then, in 2002, to Alternet Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2007 the Company executed a merger with TekVoice Communications, Inc. of Miami, Florida. Since then the Company has changed business focus and strategy to mobile financial services and mobile security. In 2011 TekVoice became inactive.
2009 - to present Focus on Mobile Financial Services and Security
Since late 2009 the Company has focused its investment and operational expertise on the mobile value added services markets of mobile financial transactions and security, through two new subsidiaries. These subsidiaries, Alternet Transaction Systems (dba Utiba Americas, which is 49% owned by Utiba Pte, Ltd) and International Mobile Security (IMS, which is 40% owned by General Services Holding LLC) were launched within the fiscal year 2010. The new lines of business and Company focus were intended to provide new revenue streams and profitability from the high growth segments of the mobile value added service market, namely mobile financial services and mobile security, Growth of both of these market segments is driven by the exponential adoption of mobile phones which in 2011 reached more than 70%, of the global population, with a total of 5 billion phones.
Competition
The Company competes in two distinct industries, mobile financial services and mobile security. Although the Company has unique features in its product offerings, and in mobile financial services is considered a pioneer and market leader, it competes with companies that are better financed. In 2010 and 2011 some market consolidation has taken place. Smaller competitors with market name recognition have been absorbed by larger organizations eager to capture market share and/or obtain technology and continued consolidation is expected over the next couple of years.
Research and Development
The Company spends a judicious amount in research and development expenditures. In mobile financial services, the Company primarily relies on its joint-venture partner's longstanding and continued research and development, and as appropriately purchases the necessary technology. In 2011, the Company purchased $1.5 million in intellectual property from its joint-venture partner. In mobile security the Company has its own proprietary technology and is in constant development to address client and market needs.
Employees
The company continued to increase staffing in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in its operating subsidiaries. At September 30, 2012, total staff stood at 27 versus 17 the prior year. The Company continues to outsource contract employment as appropriate.
Nine months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the nine months Ended September 30, 2011
Net Sales
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had $452,891 in net sales compared to $128,794 for the corresponding period in 2011. Sales increased significantly in percentage terms (251%) but coming in well below the volume anticipated for the period as delays arose in closing qualified prospects of mobile commerce and mobile security license software by Alternet Transaction Systems, (DBA Utiba Americas) and International Mobile Security. Contract negotiations and/or project implementations are proceeding. Additionally discussions with major new clients have been initiated with the high likelihood of finalizing contracts in near term, most likely in the beginning of 2013.
Delays continue to reflect the long, complex, business to business sales cycle, the slow evolution of mobile money regulations in different countries, and delays not uncommon in the rollout of new technology. Additionally, in Utiba Americas, the transition from sales of software licenses to sale of Software as a Service (SaaS) continues apace with the adverse effect on the timing of revenue recognition. In the formers case, revenue reflects the one-time nature of the sale and is recognized at the time of the contract. SaaS revenue, on the other hand, is recognized over the term of the contract, typically being three to five years, based on the number of users and/or transactions. Management is cognizant of the timing issue and believes that the longer term and more reliable transactional revenue will generate significantly greater value to the Company. Moreover, the market for the Companys SaaS offering is expected to be significantly greater than straight license sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $176,591 in the nine months ending September 30, 2012 compared to $30,008 in the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, representing an increase in gross profit for the period of $146,583. As noted up above, such results were well below anticipated performance.
Operating Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Companys operating expenses increased ($2,872,562 in 2012 versus $1,916,628 in prior year, an increase of $779,343, or 41%) when compared to the prior year. The increase was attributable to the Companys additional staffing and infrastructure growth necessary to properly service market opportunities and customer demand. This increase can best be seen in the year-over-year growth of the combined management and consulting and salary expenses ($2,063,777 in 2012 versus $1,304,029 in 2011, an increase of $759,748, or 58%). Most of this increase, when compared to the year-to-date prior year results, occurred in the third quarter (an increase of $504,862, equivalent to 126%, in third quarter of 2012 versus the third quarter of 2011). The increase in management and consulting and salary expense for the nine months accounts for 82% of the total $925,926 increase in operating expenses. Another 13% of the increase is accounted by in bank and finance charges, which reached $52,905in 2012 versus $10,087 the prior year.
Accounts payable totaled $1,129,472 and accounts receivable were $1,789,478 at September 30, 2012
Net Loss
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $2,492,012 or $(0.03) per share, which was an increase of $649,217 when compared to the net loss for the corresponding prior year period of $1,842,795. The higher loss was primarily due to increased operating expenses, foreign exchange losses of $247,384 (an increase of $247,030, versus $354 in the prior year) primarily attributable to operations in Venezuela, and higher loss on debt settlement (an increase of $289,212). The latter reflects the accounting loss, recorded on the date of such events, based on fair market value (refer to Note 2).
Interest and other expenses
As shown in operating expenses, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had bank charges and interest expense of $168,510, including the $85,198 of warrants (refer to Note 8c) compared with $44,718 for the corresponding period to September 30, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had current assets including cash on hand of $2,284,595 as at September 30, 2012 ($772,395 at September 30, 2011).
The Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,015,136 at September 30, 2012 ($977,784 at September 30, 2011). Management of the Company has determined that the Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital and achieving increased sales of its operating subsidiaries, Alternet Transaction Systems (DBA Utiba Americas), and International Mobile Security (IMS).
Management can give no assurance that any increase in sales will occur in the future and if they do occur, may not be enough to cover the Companys operating expenses or any other costs. Should this be the case, we would be forced, unless sufficient working capital can be raised, to suspend operations and possibly liquidate the assets and wind up and dissolve the Company.
RISK FACTORS
The Company is exposed to a number of risks, including the following:
- |
The Company may be unable to market and sell its products; |
- |
The Companys sales are currently insufficient and its future prospects are dependent on the ability to market its products and services; |
- |
The Company has a history of operating at a significant loss; |
- |
The Company requires additional equity financing to continue operations and may be unable to obtain this financing; |
- |
If further equity financing is obtained, it will dilute the value of existing shareholders stock; |
- |
The Company has limited working capital with which to continue operations; The Company is active in competitive industries and faces competition from more established companies with greater financial resources and established sales and distribution capabilities; |
- |
The Company has a significant number of shares outstanding which may be eligible for resale under Rule 144 and which, if sold, could depress the market price of the Companys shares. |
Our business operations are also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below:
We have had negative cash flows from operations. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment.
To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash needs. We expect positive cash flow from operations in 2012 but there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, or that our sales projections will be realized as estimated. The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.
In the near term we will depend on outside capital to pay for the continued development of our business. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. Capital may not continue to be available to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results.
There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will purchase our products and/or services, the size of customers purchases, the demand for our production and/or services, and the level of competition and general economic conditions. If we cannot generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our operations.
We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.
We have limited history of revenues from operations and have limited significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. Our companys operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and to find purchases for our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.
Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development.
