NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Alternet Systems Inc., through its subsidiaries (Alternet or the Company), 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.
These condensed consolidated 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, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $(6,135,147). 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. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the restated audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K / A for the year ended December 31, 2012, collectively referred to as the 2012 Amended Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Principles of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated 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.
Long-Lived Assets Including Other Acquired Intellectual Property
Management monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles 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. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
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. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Loss per Share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Topic 260 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.
At September 30, 2013, Nil (December 31, 2012 6,009,863) warrants were excluded from the loss per share calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Reclassification
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the current periods presentation.
Revisions to Prior Periods
The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, have been revised to reflect adjustments made during the December 31, 2012 audit, which allows for comparability with the presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which is included in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. This update improves the reporting of reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for the Companys interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2013, and applied prospectively. This accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Liabilities (Topic 830): Parents Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and requires the release of any cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in foreign entity. Management does not anticipate that the accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. This update standardizes the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Management does not anticipate that the accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
On January 25, 2011, the Company signed a Copyright Agreement with a supplier for various intellectual properties of which $100,000 was due upon signing of the agreement. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $68,900 included in accounts payable and accrued charges relating to this agreement.
In December 2011, the Company purchased four software licenses from Utiba Pte. Ltd. (Utiba), a non-controlling interest investor in ATS, valued at $1,500,000. Each license provides the Company the ability to offer mobile financial services under a Software as a Services (SaaS) arrangement to its customers by providing unlimited access to Utibas underlying platform. Utiba is required to maintain the systems in working order and provide all necessary services to the Company. As the licenses are for a service that is emerging on a global scale and there is no set term for the service, the licenses have been determined to have an indefinite life.

NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE
Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; | |
Level 2 |
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; | |
Level 3 |
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |

NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE (continued)
The fair value of the Companys accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, wages payable, accrued taxes, deferred income, other loans payable, and due to related parties approximate their carrying values. The Companys other financial instruments, being cash, are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
NOTE 14 CONCENTRATIONS
Concentrations in Sales to Few Customers
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the largest two customers accounted for 38% and 23% of sales. Two other customers accounted for 46% and 22% of accounts receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the three largest customers accounted for 51%, 18%, and 17% of sales with the two largest balances of accounts receivable representing 73% and 13%.
Concentrations in Sales to Foreign Customers
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 100% of the Companys net sales were made to foreign customers. An adverse change in either economic conditions abroad or the Companys relationship with significant foreign distributors could negatively affect the volume of the Companys international sales and the Companys results of operations.
Company is Dependent on Few Major Suppliers
The Company is dependent on Utiba Pte. Ltd. (Utiba), a non-controlling interest investor in ATS, for all of its hosting services needs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, products purchased from this company were approximately 82% and 72% of cost of sales, respectively. The Company is dependent on the ability of Utiba to provide uninterrupted services. The loss of this supplier or a significant reduction in product availability from this supplier could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes that its relationship with this supplier is in good standing.

NOTE 15 LAWSUIT
On September 20, 2012, the Company received a Demand for Arbitration notice that it had been named as party in a claim whereby the Claimant is seeking a judgment for damages that may exceed $1,000,000, subsequently increased to $5,000,000 resulting from failure to perform its obligations under an Agreement signed between the Claimant and the Companys joint-venture partner. The Company was not party to the Agreement but was named in the notice. The Company engaged legal representatives which have requested a motion for the lawsuit to be dismissed against the Company as it was not party to the agreement in dispute. On September 25, 2013, a settlement agreement was signed between the Claimant and the Companys joint-venture partner; as such, the Company was cleared of any obligations under the lawsuit.
NOTE 16 RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (restated)
Management, after consultation with the Board of Directors and the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, determined that the Companys consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2012 contained errors relating to the omission of material accruals at December 31, 2012 and should be restated and, accordingly, that the Original Filing should no longer be relied upon. However, management determined that these errors did not have material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2013 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and the condensed consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2013 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013; therefore, an amendment was not considered necessary for these reporting periods.
Financial statement effect of the restatement:
The error resulted in a $126,621 increase to sales, $266,534 increase to cost of sales, and $68,734 decrease to non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2012; and a $92,831 increase to accounts payable and accrued charges and $21,292 decrease to non-controlling interest as at December 31, 2012.
The tables below shows the effects of the restatement on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report, and our restated consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. The following discussion contains 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 such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Overview
Alternet Systems Inc. competes in two distinct industries, mobile financial services and mobile security. In mobile financial services, the Company has unique features in its product offerings and is considered a global pioneer and market leader, consistently ranked by independent surveys amongst the top three in the world. The Companys technology has been developed and improved over numerous years and provides clients with a complete suite of applications and functionality that addresses all current market applications and usage. The Company is geographically focused on the entire Western Hemisphere (North, Central and South America and the Caribbean), and is the market leader in terms of deployments.
Mobile Financial Services
In 2010, the Company launched its mobile financial and mobile commerce suite of services, which it offers in equity partnership with the leading mobile financial services software developer, Utiba. Utiba Americas enjoys exclusive rights to the Utiba software platform for the Americas region, sold as a software license, or as a hosted service, also known as Software as a Service (SaaS).
Demand for our mobile financial transaction services is driven by the widespread adoption of mobile phone service and the existence of large segments of the global population which possess a mobile phone, but do not possess a bank account. The global mobile commerce industry is in its early growth and adoption stages and several successful initiatives have been launched worldwide by our competitors. We believe that as wireless usage expands, the demand for our services will grow.
Since launching in 2010, the Company has implemented mobile financial service solutions in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela and Haiti. Revenue will come from organic growth of its existing operations, primarily from its hosted service, and the Company's robust sales pipeline with many qualified opportunities throughout the region. The Company also benefits from its name recognition and reputation, being one of the leading names in mobile financial services.
Page | 30
Sales and marketing is accomplished through the Company's existing sales staff, who contact potential clients directly, and through agent sales, channel partners, trade shows, and industry associations. Marketing materials such as brochures, web sites, and technical specifications are continuously updated with an increased emphasis being placed on its offerings for specific vertical industries, specifically the telecom, financial, government and utilities sectors.
The Company has been successful in capturing a leading market share in regional deployments and is widely recognized as having among the broadest and most robust product offerings. In 2012 the Company was awarded a multi country license sale agreement with Digicel Group, with an initial launch in Haiti, as well as the sale of a license to Astra Holdings, S.A. a Central America mobile payment service provider that initially launched in Honduras and will expand in 5 Central American countries. It also successfully launched in January 2013, the electronic top up platform for Corporación Digitel S.A. a mobile network operator in Venezuela. In March 2013 the company started the implementation of the Mobile Commerce platform for Digicel Haiti. Once this implementation in successfully delivered, the Company expects to enter into additional country implementation, both in the Caribbean and in the Asia Pacific regions.
The SaaS product offering has successfully garnered key clients in Guatemala, Bolivia, México and Latin America. The Company is currently working in several other projects with a regional player with a multi country reach, and is continuing to receive widespread interest as it is currently negotiating several SaaS proposals with regional banks and mobile payment service providers.
In 2012 the company entered into strategic alliances with complimentary players in the industry. The strategic partnership with Spindle, Inc., a United States based mobile payments processor and technology developers allows ATS to enter this market and leverages Spindle's merchant acquisition suite into the existing Utiba mobile commerce offering. This partnership will expand as the companies are seeking additional technological and commercial integration. It also signed an MOU with i2C, Inc., a payments processor based in Redwood City, California to leverage their payment processing, card management and prepaid platform into a Utiba's converging payment offering. The MasterCard global partnership signed by Utiba Pte. Ltd. in October 2011, and the announcements made in 2012 contimues our expansion into the physical payments markets, as described in our Converging Payments offering.
ATS also continues to actively work with MasterCard operations in Latin America, developing a joint offering leveraging the brands strength and Utiba's market presence. Management expects several of these offers to close in 2013 in several key markets, specifically launching payments services to the unbanked markets in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Projects continue to take significant time and effort to close due to the complexity, the required participation of multiple parties, differing levels of expertise and experience amongst parties and, at times, shifting regulatory conditions.
As a result sales are below expectations. SaaS revenue, the Company's preferred product offering and pricing structure, is rapidly getting traction, while license sales have experienced a deceleration. ATS is actively engaged in final discussions and contract negotiations, with the largest clients in the market and expects to sign major projects in 2013.
Page | 31
The Company also expects to pursue potential opportunities to grow through mergers and acquisitions. Several opportunities have been identified and the Company has initiated initial discovery processes.
Digital and Mobile Security Software and Services
International Mobile Security (IMS) finalized the acquisition of proprietary technology in early 2011 and was positioned to offer software and security products in the global market segments of law enforcement, corporate, and consumer sales. Sales efforts have been conducted in house and through value added resellers. Drivers of demand include smart phones and the newly arrived mobile tablet computers.
IMS has entered into an agreement to develop opportunities with Delma MSS Ltd. ("Delma"), a company based in the United Kingdom developing location and tracking technologies. As part of the agreement, Delma will develop and enhance some of the IMS products, with the intent to develop joint business opportunities and products. The relationship with Delma will allow IMS to expand its sales reach into the Middle East and Asian markets.
The Company is also exploring reviewing ancillary businesses within the Mobile Financial Transaction Services space, such as Mobile Remittances, Consumer Analytics, Mobile Advertising Monetization and integration of its Mobile Commerce suit to Social Media opportunities.
Results of Operations:
The Companys results, on a consolidated basis, reflect its own results consolidated with its subsidiaries. For the remainder of this part, the term Company refers to both the Company and its wholly owned and two majority owned subsidiaries, International Mobile Security, Inc. (IMS) and Alternet Transactions Systems, Inc. (ATS) doing business as Utiba Americas. Alternet has a controlling interest in both subsidiaries.
Net Sales
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had net sales of $125,571 versus $176,591 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $51,020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had net sales of $1,082,129 versus $452,891 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $629,238. The increase in sales is primarily resulting from the completion of several contracts.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
The Company has cost of sales of $159,165 and a gross margin of ($33,594) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to cost of sales of $162,268 and a gross margin of $14,323 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company also has cost of sales of $810,996 and a gross margin of $271,133 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to cost of sales of $276,300 and a gross margin of $176,591 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in the cost of sales is due to the commensurate higher revenue for the period when compared to the prior period. Timing of expense recognition reflecting delays in the receipt invoices and supporting documentation from foreign vendors also impacts these items.

Net Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had a net and comprehensive loss of $852,348 or ($0.01) per share, an increase of 14.54% when compared to the corresponding period of September 30, 2012 which had a net loss of $744,170 or $(0.01) per share. The higher loss is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses.
Page | 34
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had a net and comprehensive loss of $2,744,924 or ($0.03) per share, an increase of 9.26% when compared to the corresponding period of September 30, 2012 which had a net loss of $2,512,199 or $(0.03) per share. The higher loss is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses.
The debt settlement loss included in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflected the accounting loss, not a cash outlay, attributable to the assigned value of shares received by a lender on the settlement of a convertible note. The settlement coincided with a spike in the share price.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $42,803 cash in the bank and accounts receivable of $362,843 as compared to $5,751 and $1,249,447 respectively as at December 31, 2012. Accounts payable were $1,692,946 at September 30, 2013 as compared to accounts payable of $1,457,054 at December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $6,042,316 as compared to $3,165,793 as at December 31, 2012. The Company is currently pursuing financing, and has engaged an investment bank to raise additional capital to fund ongoing operations. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern will be negatively affected if it is unsuccessful.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company held an accounts receivable of $789,565 (VEF 6,674,709) with a related company that has been outstanding for longer than one year. Due to the relationship with this Company, management is confident that the funds will be collected; however, due to the uncertainty of obtaining foreign currency, management has reserved the total balance.
Plan of Operation
The Company, as noted previously (refer to Note 17 - Subsequent Events), effective as of October 15, 2013, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement) in order to effect the sale by ATS of all of its business and assets to Utiba. For such transaction to proceed, the Company will require shareholders approval. Accordingly the Companys plan over the next 12 months hinges on the shareholders decision.
Should the sale not proceed, the Company will continue selling mobile financial services, in the form of software licenses and, increasingly more given market demand, as a service, commonly referred to as Software as a Services (SaaS), through its subsidiary Alternet Transaction Systems (dba Utiba Americas). The Company is in advanced negotiations with various clients to roll out single market, multi-market and regional mobile financial services, primarily under the SaaS product offering. SaaS transactions are multi-year in nature and are priced based on active wallets, transactions or a combination thereof. The Company is also in discussions for the sale of additional licenses and/or expansions.
Should the sale proceed, the Company will cease to offer mobile financial services and products that directly compete with Utiba. The Company will be able to offer other ancillary products and services as well as enter into new fields.
Page | 35
Conclusion
The Company may potentially enter into a transitional stage, depending on the shareholders vote on the Asset Purchase Agreement. Accordingly the Companys business profile may change significantly should the transaction be approved and with the new opportunities being pursued.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in United States dollars. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Our fiscal year-end is December 31.
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.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. Our Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our Company may differ materially and adversely from our Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Page | 36
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on managements assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings or customer deposits depending on whether the corresponding income has been recognized by the Company, and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

The Companys functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States Dollar. 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 equity (deficit), whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
Refer to the Risk Management section for further discussions on foreign exchange exposure.
Long-Lived Assets Including Other Acquired Intellectual Property
Management monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles 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. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
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. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

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 when collection has occurred, implementation services have been completed, or the contract has been cancelled.
The Company invoices support services at the beginning of the term and recognizes the revenue over the term of the agreement.
Deferred Income
The Company recognizes revenues as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which service is rendered are recorded as a liability under Deferred income.
Debt with Conversion Options
The Company accounts for convertible debentures in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options , which applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a net settlement feature, which means instruments that by their terms may be settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion. Accordingly, the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled wholly or partially in cash upon conversion should be accounted for separately in a manner reflective of their issuers nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Conversion features determined to be beneficial to the holder are valued at fair value and recorded to additional paid in capital. Any discount derived from determining the fair value to the debenture conversion features is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debenture. The unamortized costs, if any, upon the conversion of the debentures is expensed to interest immediately.

Financial Instruments
The carrying value of our companys financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, wages payable, accrued taxes, customer deposits, deferred income, other loans payable, and due to related parties, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation plans in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 CompensationStock Compensation . The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method for determining the fair value of stock option grants. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all share-based awards that are expected to vest to be recognized in the statements of operations over the service or vesting period of each award. The Company uses the straight-line method of attributing the value of share-based compensation expense for all stock option grants over the requisite service period.
Risk Management
The Company is exposed to credit risk through accounts receivable and therefore, the Company maintains adequate provisions for potential credit losses. The Company, given the relative size of a typical contract, the number of clients, timing of sales and the revenue recognition of said sales, will have an inherent concentration of sales. The Company is cognizant of such concentration and takes steps to mitigate such risks via accelerated and/or progress payment structures and contractual legal recourse. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the largest two customers accounted for 34% and 21% of sales. Two other customers accounted for 46% and 22% of accounts receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the three largest customers accounted for 51%, 18%, and 17% of sales with the two largest balances of accounts receivable representing 73% and 13%.
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.
The Company also operates in countries with strict foreign exchange controls, i.e. Venezuela, which limit access and convertibility to US dollars. While the Company is familiar with such restrictions and the programs available in each country to access foreign exchange, when available, is exposed to government vagary and fiat. Management actions are limited in such cases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which is included in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. This update improves the reporting of reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for the Companys interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2013, and applied prospectively. Management does not anticipate that the accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Liabilities (Topic 830): Parents Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and requires the release of any cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in foreign entity. Management does not anticipate that the accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. This update standardizes the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Management does not anticipate that the accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Managements Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer) and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of September 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer) and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (also our principal executive officer) and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with managements authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework . Our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Board of Directors.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
