QUEPASA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1—Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Quepasa Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in June 1997. The Company is a social media technology company which owns and operates Quepasa.com.  Revenues are generated from display advertising, the DSM contest platform, website development, games internally developed and distributed to ours and other sites, third party developed games introduced to the site, and royalty revenue.

The Quepasa.com community provides users with access to an expansive, multilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing, and other topics of interest to users.  We offer online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations on our website.  We work with our advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placement on the website.  The Quepasa.com website is operated and managed by the Company’s wholly owned Mexico-based subsidiary, Quepasa.com de Mexico.  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”).  The Company’s wholly owned Brazilian based subsidiary manages game development and creation of intellectual properties.

 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.
 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Quepasa.com de Mexico, Quepasa Serviços em Solucoes de Publicidade E Tecnologia Ltda (inactive), and Quepasa Games S/S Ltda (from March 2, 2011).  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.  $373,687 and $133,322, respectively, for hosting, software licenses, and production office rent were reclassified from general and administrative expense to product development and content expense for the nine months and the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Most significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimated lives and playing periods that we use for games revenue recognition, the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of the discount on notes payable, valuation of equity instruments granted for services, valuation of re-pricing of warrants, accounting for business combinations and evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.  The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions it invests with.

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.  Such amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits at September 30, 2011 approximated $14.1 million.

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows – Supplemental Disclosure
 
Non-Monetary transactions:
On March 2, 2011, the following assets and liabilities of XtFt Games S/S Ltda were acquired:
 
Goodwill
  $ 3,780,618  
Property and equipment
    119,760  
Other assets
    191,887  
Total assets acquired
    4,092,265  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
    (383,014 )
Total liabilities assumed
    (383,014 )
Issuance of common stock, 348,723 shares
    2,730,501  
Contingent issuance of common stock for acquisition
    978,750  
 
 
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s purchase price of Quepasa Games (formerly known as XtFt Games S/S Ltda), the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized.  Goodwill is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review.  Goodwill is evaluated using specific methods required in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), including potentially a discounted cash flows method to determine the fair value of one reporting unit and a comparison of the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. The analysis necessarily involves significant management judgment to evaluate the capacity of an acquired business to perform within projections.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company did not record any impairment charges related to goodwill.  In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill is impaired, the goodwill carrying value will be reduced to its implied fair value through a charge to operating expenses.
 
 
Other Assets
 
Other assets primarily consist of customer contracts, debt issue costs and deposits.  Customer contracts recorded at fair value from the acquisition of Quepasa Games are amortized using straight-line method over the life of the individual contracts.  Debt issue costs, principally loan origination and related fees, are deferred and amortized over the life of the respective debt using the straight-line method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for notes payable, net of discount, also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.

 
Fair Value Measurements

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.

The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices which are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.


Net Loss per Share
 
The Company computes and presents earnings or losses per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per share.  Basic earnings or losses per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding, calculated on the treasury stock method for options and warrants using the average market prices during the period.
 
As the Company incurred a net loss in all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect of including them is anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the number of potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of September 30, 2011 which may dilute future earnings per share:
 
Stock options
    7,899,958  
Warrants
    4,200,000  
Series A convertible preferred stock
    1,479,949  
Totals
    13,579,907  
 
 
Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
 
During the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, one customer comprised 77% and 91% of total revenues, respectively, see Note 11.  One customer comprised 87% and 90% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, see Note 11.

Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements,” and ASC 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations.”

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we signed two contracts with Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“AHMSA”), which owns MATT Inc., which qualify as Multiple-Element Arrangements. The first was a $3.5 million contract to develop a website and a series of environmental campaigns using our DSM Technology, with multiple delivery dates from May 2010 through February 2011.  The second was a $3.0 million contract to develop a website and a legislative campaign using our DSM Technology, with multiple delivery dates from June through December 2010.  The revenue from these contracts is being allocated between DSM and Website Development as separate units of accounting based on their relative selling price.  The selling price for DSM was determined using the ad impressions and click through rate that other advertising would require to generate similar engagements, since the DSM technology is a relatively new concept we developed. The selling price for Website Development was determined using the projected hours and prevailing rates for website development plus the cost of hardware, third party vendors and premium for use of our development resources.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we performed transactions with several partners that qualify as Principal Agent Considerations. We recognize revenue net of amounts retained by third party entities, pursuant to revenue sharing agreements with advertising networks for Display Advertising and with other partners for Royalties on product sales.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our revenue was generated from five principal sources: revenue earned from the sale of DSM campaigns, website development services, display advertising on our website, royalty, and games revenue.

DSM Revenues: We recognize DSM revenues over the period of the contest or as the services are provided.  Approximately 76% and 71% of our revenue came from DSM campaigns both during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Website Development Revenue: We recognize website development revenues as the service is provided.  Approximately 2% and 24% of our revenue came from website development during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Display Advertising Revenue: Display advertising revenue is generated when an advertiser purchases a banner placement within our quepasa.com website.  We recognize revenue related to display advertisements upon delivery.  Consistent with GAAP, we recognize advertising revenue from customers that are advertising networks on a net basis, while advertising revenues earned directly from advertisers are recognized on a gross basis.  Approximately 8% and 3% of our revenue came from display advertising during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Royalty Revenue: Royalty revenue is generated as a percentage of product sales from certain partnership arrangements. We recognize royalty revenues on a net basis, as reported to us by third parties.  Less than 1% of our revenue came from royalties during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Game Revenue: Game revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonable assured, and the service has been rendered. For the purpose of determining when the service has been provided to the player, we determine an implied obligation exists to the paying player to continue displaying the purchased virtual items within the online game of a paying player over their estimated life.  The virtual goods are categorized as either consumable or durable. Consumable goods represent goods that are consumed immediately by a specific player action and have no residual value. Revenue from consumable goods is recognized at the time of sale. Durable goods add to the player’s game environment over the playing period.  Durable items, that otherwise do not have a limitation on repeated use, are recorded as deferred revenue at time of sale and recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated average playing period of a paying player.  For these items, the Company considers the average playing period that the paying players typically play the game, currently to be 18 months. If we do not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual goods from the consumable virtual goods for the specific game, we recognize revenue on the sale of the virtual goods for the game ratably over the estimated average playing period that paying players typically play the game. Any adjustments arising from changes in the average playing period would be applied prospectively on the basis that such changes are caused by new information indicating a change in the game player behavior patterns.

As the Company controls the game process and acts as a principal in the transaction, revenue for internally developed games is recognized on gross basis from sales proceeds reported by pay aggregators which are net of payment rejections, charge-backs and reversals. The related games costs including the payment services, pay aggregator fees and advertising services, and taxes are recorded as cost of sales. The revenue from third party developed games is recorded net of revenue sharing payments and costs to the third party as the Company is considered to be acting as agent in these transactions. Approximately 14% of our revenue came from games during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.   No significant game revenue was generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


Note 2—Business Acquisition

On March 2, 2011, we completed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with XtFt Games S/S Ltda (“XtFt”), the owner of substantially all of the assets and business of TechFront Desenvolvimento de Software S/S Ltda, a Brazilian company (“TechFront”). The Company acquired XtFt to obtain its game development expertise and existing and future intellectual properties. On July 14, 2011 Xtft’s name was changed to Quepasa Games S/S Ltda (“Quepasa Games”).

We acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of XtFt.  The shares issued to XtFt’s owners were calculated contractually based on $3,700,000 of our common stock (348,723 shares) at $10.61 per share which was based on the average closing price per share for the 10 trading days prior to the date of closing the Agreement. The acquisition date value of the shares issued of $2,730,501 was calculated using the fair market value of the 348,723 shares, at $7.83, the quoted trading price per share at the acquisition date.  We paid a $300,000 brokerage fee and approximately $81,000 of legal and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition which were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  XtFt may receive a potential earnout fee of 250,000 shares of our common stock based on XtFt achieving specific performance milestones.  An additional cost of acquisition of $978,750 for the contingent earn out provision was calculated using the fair market value of the probable shares to be granted based on the terms of the Agreement at a price per share valued at the date of acquisition.

In connection with the Agreement, on February 1, 2011, we entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with TechFront and agreed to lend up to $500,000.  Advances under the Credit Agreement may be used to pay off certain Techfront loans specified in the Agreement.  The secured revolving line of credit shall become due and payable on February 1, 2017.  The Credit Agreement is secured by certain U.S. and Brazilian Trademarks of TechFront.  Prior to the acquisition date, $500,000 was advanced to TechFront under the Credit Agreement.  The collectability of this amount was deemed by management to be doubtful immediately upon the date of the first advance and therefore in substance to be additional cost of acquisition.

The purchase price was allocated first to record identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value and the remainder to goodwill as follows:
 
Property and equipment
  $ 119,760  
Other assets
    191,887  
Total assets acquired

Note 3—Notes Receivable

On March 27, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with BRC Group, LLC (“BRC”) for a maximum amount of $600,000. A dispute arose and on April 6, 2009, BRC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The loan receivable balance at April 6, 2009 was $350,000.  We filed an answer with counterclaims alleging a default by BRC and to accelerate the note.
 
In February 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with BRC effective as of September 22, 2009.  Under the Settlement, BRC’s indebtedness to us was reduced from $350,000 to $250,000, evidenced by a new promissory note (the “Note”) dated September 22, 2009.  The 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.   BRC commenced repayments on June 1, 2011 in accordance with the terms of the Note. As collateral for the 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 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 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.
 
On September 20, 2010, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Hollywood Creations, Inc. (“Hollywood”) and agreed to lend Hollywood $650,000 in three separate equal installments.  This agreement relates to an arrangement for Quepasa’s exclusive right and license to market and distribute games developed by Hollywood to Quepasa end users.  Those rights will be subject to a revenue sharing agreement. Each loan will be evidenced by a 6% Convertible Promissory Note due one year from the date of issuance (“Note”).   The Note may be converted (i) automatically if a Qualified Financing occurs on or before the Maturity Date, into preferred stock issued in such Qualified Financing; or (ii) if no Qualified Financing occurs on or before the Maturity Date, upon our election into common stock.  A Qualified Financing is a transaction (or series of transactions) in which Hollywood issues and sells shares of its preferred stock for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2 million with the principal purpose of raising capital. Under the automatic conversion provision, the Note may be converted at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the price per share paid by the other purchasers of the Preferred Stock sold in the Qualified Financing or (ii) the amount obtained by dividing (A) $5,000,000 by (B) the number of shares of Hollywood’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding (except for the Notes), and including any shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to an equity incentive or similar plan), with no fractional shares.  Under the voluntary conversion provision, the Note may be converted at a price per share equal to 80% of the most recent price paid for Common Stock sold by Hollywood in an arm’s length private transaction. If no such transactions have occurred, the voluntary conversion price shall be equal to 80% of the average of (i) the amount reasonably determined by a qualified independent appraiser who shall be selected in good faith by the Board of Directors of Hollywood and (ii) the amount reasonably determined by a qualified independent appraiser who shall be selected in good faith by Quepasa; such appraisals shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the Conversion Notice. In the year ended December 31, 2010, we lent the first $216,667 installment and Hollywood issued us a Note due on September 20, 2011.  
 
The second and third installments are subject to certain milestones being met with respect to the development, delivery and integration of certain social web games and skill-based wagering titles on our website. Once the applicable milestone is met, Hollywood may request the second and third loans of $216,667 each.  We have the right not to lend the second or third installments and also have a put arrangement permitting us to make the additional advances.

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. The Company received a subpoena from the New York Attorney General seeking records relating to our operations including specific information regarding our e-mail marketing practices. We intend to co-operate and have supplied those documents we believe are directly relevant to the inquiry, although our attorneys have advised us that the New York Attorney General’s inquiry is pre-empted by federal law in the absence of any deceptive acts. Our attorneys have further advised us that they do not believe our e-mail marketing involves any deceptive practices. However, we cannot make assurances that the New York Attorney General will agree or that other regulators may not challenge aspects of our business. In such event, defending this or any other action would cause us to incur substantial expenses and divert our management's attention. If we are unsuccessful, we may have to change our e-mail marketing practices which could impair our ability to obtain new users. Any change in our email marketing or defense of a regulatory investigation or action could reduce our future revenues and increase our costs and adversely affect our future operating results.

On September 8, 2011, the Company received an EEOC complaint alleging gender discrimination from a former non-executive employee who resigned voluntarily.  The Company has filed a written response denying the allegations and the matter is currently scheduled for mediation.

On August 3, 2011, a class action lawsuit was filed by Michelle Kaffko (“the Plaintiff’) against the Company in the United States District Court of Nevada. The complaint alleges that the Company sent unauthorized text messages to thousands of consumers by using equipment that had the capacity to generate random telephone number.  The Plaintiff is seeking, for herself and on behalf of the members of the class, $500 for each alleged violation.  The Company did not send the unauthorized text.  The Plaintiff’s claim is barred by the state of Nevada’s two-year statute of limitations.  The Company has filed a motion to dismiss and for summary judgment. The Company has filed a motion to transfer the case from the Nevada District Court to the Southern District of Florida.
The Court has granted the motion to transfer the case to Florida. The Company intended to vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit.

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 8—Series A 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 termination, the Company issued the Organization 25,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, with a liquidation preference of $2,500,000.  The Preferred Stock was convertible into the number of shares of common stock which result from dividing the stated value of $100 per share by the fair market value of a share of common stock at the conversion date. Dividends on the Preferred Stock accrue from the date of issuance at the rate per annum of 4.46% on the stated value and are cumulative. The Dividends are payable in a lump sum at liquidation or conversion at the request of the Organization.  Accrued dividends were $219,455 and $278,750 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  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, a $100,000 partial dividend payment was made to the Organization.

On September 20, 2011, the Company increased the designated shares to 1,500,000 and amended the conversion preference of the Series A preferred stock.  The Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for $5,000,000 to Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, LTD and Harvest Small Cap Partners, LP, (the “Selling Shareholders’).  The preferred shares are convertible, at the option of the Selling Shareholders, into shares of Quepasa common stock at a conversion price  per share based on the following: the lower of (i) $3.5785 or (ii), if the Merger of Quepasa and myYearbook closes, the lower of (A) 85% of the closing price of Quepasa’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.


Note 9—Stock-Based 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. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect over the expected term at the time of grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the vesting terms of the award.  During 2011 and 2010, 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 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.

Share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 includes incremental share-based compensation expense as follows:

We recognized stock-based compensation expense for the vesting of options of $2,699,598 and $4,545,065 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011, there was $4,799,654 in total unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a period of three years.


Note 10—Warrants
 
In March 2006, we issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share as compensation to its Chief Executive Officer. These warrants were still outstanding on September 30, 2011 and expire in March 2016.
 
During March 2006, we 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 Chief Executive Officer. The Series 1 warrant was exercised in 2006. Of the remaining warrants 50% (1,000,000) were owned by RSI. On January 25, 2008, the Company and RSI entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “RSI Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding warrants were reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the Note Payable of $263,690, to be amortized over the life of the note, see Note 6. The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were still outstanding at September 30, 2011 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 February 19, 2010, we reduced the exercise price of the remaining 1,000,000 outstanding warrants to $3.55 per share.  The warrant re-pricing resulted in a $147,813 of stock compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations.  The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were still outstanding at September 30, 2011 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.  The fair value of the modified warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate:
3.24%
Expected term:
 
6.08 years
Expected dividend yield:
 
Expected volatility:
 
105.68%
 
In October 2006, we 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 Inc. in connection with the issuance of common stock. On January 25, 2008, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with MATT Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement the exercise price of MATT Inc.’s outstanding warrants were reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the Note Payable of $1,341,692, to be amortized over the life of the note, see Note 6 above. These warrants expire in October 2016 and were still outstanding as of September 30, 2011. 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.
 
In September 2010, we granted warrants to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share as compensation to a consultant.  These warrants were subject to vesting based on performance standards detailed in the agreement. Warrants to purchase 165,000 shares vested and the remaining 100,000 expired.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 warrants to purchase 165,000 shares were exercised.  No warrants to purchase shares were outstanding and exercisable on September 30, 2011.

Our revenues were $1,469,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $ 1,252,660 or 46% compared to 2,721,760 for the same period in 2010.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction of approximately $1,300,000 in DSM and $700,000 website development revenue offset by increases of $547,000 of games revenue, and $223,000 of display advertising.  The decrease in DSM revenue for the third quarter 2011 from the third quarter 2010, is primarily due to delays in campaign executions.  Our DSM contest platform is a tool that allows advertisers and brands to deliver their brand message through viral contest engine that is shared and spread by users across the most popular social media sites.  We believe this platform is a highly effective ad product that allows brands to market their products to the broader Latino demographic, without requiring the advertiser to have to decide how to allocate its budget amongst numerous websites.  With Quepasa DSM, brands can target Latinos across all social media properties, leveraging the user’s use of viral widgets and sharing tools to spread the brand message. DSM revenue of approximately $700,000 and $1,994,000 and Website development revenue of $0 and $678,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively was received from AHMSA, which owns MATT, Inc. DSM revenue of $0 and approximately $322,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively was earned from MATT Inc., the Company’s largest shareholder, on behalf of the Municipality of Ixtapa in Mexico, without commission or fees. During the third quarter 2011, the Company launched its game, Wonderful City Rio, on Facebook. As a result of hosting the game on Facebook, ORKUT and the Company’s website, games revenue increased by approximately $323,000 or 160% from the second quarter of 2011. 

As part of our website development strategy, we have focused on establishing a platform for sustained, viral growth—based on (i) simple user registration and invitation process; (ii) effective email deliverability; and (iii) a simplified way to navigate the site through an enhanced user interface.  In June 2008, we redesigned the sign-up and invitation pages of our site, resulting in approximately a 50% increase in the number of new users who invited friends and contacts to join Quepasa.com.  In addition, we have substantially reduced the number of Quepasa.com invitation emails that fail to reach recipients’ email inboxes. Improved deliverability, together with the redesign of our sign-up and invitation steps and a more robust user experience, has resulted in meaningful gains in the number of new registered users and site traffic.

Revenues

Our revenues were $5,554,310 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $ 1,354,464 or 32% compared to $4,199,846 for the same period in 2010.  This increase is primarily attributable to increases of approximately $1,200,000 in DSM revenue, $785,000 of games revenue, and $285,000 of display advertising offset by approximately $895,000 reduction in website development revenue earned in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our DSM contest platform is a tool that allows advertisers and brands to deliver their brand message through a viral contest engine that is shared and spread by the users across the most popular social media sites.  We believe this platform is a highly effective ad product that allows brands to market their products to the broader Latino demographic, without requiring the advertiser to have to decide how to allocate its budget amongst numerous websites.  With Quepasa DSM, brands can target Latinos across all social media properties, leveraging the user’s use of viral widgets and sharing tools to spread the brand message.  DSM revenue of approximately $4,130,000 and $2,200,000 and website development revenue of $120,000 and $1,000,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively was received from AHMSA, which owns MATT, Inc. DSM revenue of $0 and approximately $800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively was earned from MATT Inc., the Company’s largest shareholder, on behalf of the Municipality of Ixtapa in Mexico, without commission or fees.  

As part of our website development strategy, we have focused on establishing a platform for sustained, viral growth—based on (i) simple user registration and invitation process; (ii) effective email deliverability; and (iii) a simplified way to navigate the site through an enhanced user interface.  In June 2008, we redesigned the sign-up and invitation pages of our site, resulting in approximately a 50% increase in the number of new users who invited friends and contacts to join Quepasa.com.  In addition, we have substantially reduced the number of Quepasa.com invitation emails that fail to reach recipients’ email inboxes. Improved deliverability, together with the redesign of our sign-up and invitation steps and a more robust user experience, has resulted in meaningful gains in the number new registered users and site traffic.

As we increased traffic through the improvements outlined in the above paragraph, we began focusing on revenue generation.  This led to the DSM campaigns together with the website development revenue.  By the fall of 2010, we saw social game revenue as an important future revenue source as social gaming experienced explosive growth both on Facebook and on other competitive websites in Latin America.  As a result, we commenced a search to acquire our own social gaming company.  This culminated in our acquisition of Quepasa Games.


Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses increased $275,293 or 46%, to $877,498 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $602,205 in 2010.  The increase is primarily attributed to a rise in stock based compensation of approximately $220,000 and net increase in salaries of approximately $99,000 due to the addition of a marketing staff and an intern and offset by a decrease of one salesperson and by reductions of $34,000 in outside sales expense and $13,000 in conference expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Product Development and Content: Product development and content expenses increased $2,566,551, or 91%, to $5,398,556 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $2,832,005 in 2010.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had an increase in content expense for DSM campaigns of approximately $1,000,000 primarily consisting of media buys and advertising campaign contest prizes fulfillment;  approximately $997,000 for Quepasa Games for salaries, payroll costs and technical consulting for games production and development; an increase of $305,000 in U.S. salaries and associated payroll to increased US head count, an increase of approximately $160,000 for hosting dues attributable to increased server traffic and an increase of $71,000 for software accreditations.  These increases from the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were partially offset by decreases of approximately $101,000 in direct advertising content costs and contest prizes, and a $67,000 decrease in technical consulting contract fees related to a consultant contract that expired in 2010.

Game Expenses: Game expenses increased to $969,197 or 100% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and relate to the direct expenses for operations of the Company’s first game internally developed by Quepasa Games launched in April 2011.  The increase is attributable to approximately $347,000 for hosting and reporting fees for game internet access, $215,000 of advertising and administration fees, $169,000 of payment service fees, $54,000 of foreign taxes, and $184,000 of direct advertisement for the launch of our game on Facebook and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  No game expenses were incurred for the same period in 2010.

The decrease is partially offset by increases of approximately $788,000 and $381,000, respectively, of non-recurring professional fees, brokerage commission and costs incurred for the myYearbook and Quepasa Games acquisitions; $123,000 for Quepasa Games administrative salaries, office rent, local legal, accounting, and other professional fees, office supplies, overtime meals and travel; an increase of $135,000 of dues and subscriptions attributable to increases NYSE AMEX reporting dues, press service subscriptions and annual proxy services; an increase of $130,000 in travel expenses; an increase of $104,000 in legal expenses, and an increase of $76,000  in salary and related payroll expenses of approximately due to increased administrative headcount in the US.

Stock Based Compensation: Stock based compensation expense, which is included in the other operating expense categories as discussed above, decreased $1,826,192 to $2,878,501 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $4,704,693 in 2010.  The Stock based compensation expense represented 23% and 55% of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  At September 30, 2011, we had approximately $4,800,000 of unrecognized stock based compensation expense, most of which we expect to recognize over the next three years.  With the 1,807,500 options we issued to myYearbook employees on November 10, 2011, our unrecognized stock based compensation will increase by $5,418,000 to a total of $10,218,000 most of which we expect to recognize over the next three years.

Non-GAAP – Financial Measures
 
 
Bookings
 
Booking is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as the total amount of revenue from the sale of virtual goods in our online games that would have been recognized in a period if we recognized all revenue immediately at the time of sale. We record the sale of durable virtual goods as deferred revenue and then recognize revenue over the estimated average life of the purchased virtual goods or as virtual goods are consumed.  Bookings are calculated as revenue recognized in the period plus the change in deferred revenue during the period.  For additional discussion of the estimated average life of virtual goods, see Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements Revenue Recognition Games.
 
Our management uses bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performances of our social games business.  We believe both management and shareholders benefit from referring to non-GAAP financial meaures such as bookings in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.  While we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not a measure meant as a substitute for revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate bookings differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.  
 
The following presents a reconciliation of bookings our non-GAAP financial measure to revenue a GAAP financial measure for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Net Cash Earn (Burn)
 
Net cash earn (burn) is a non-GAAP financial measure that may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP.  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.  We define “net cash earn (burn)” as loss from operations plus non-cash operating expenses including stock based compensation expenses, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges.  This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. 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.  We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to non-GAAP financial measures such as net cash earn (burn) in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.  Additionally, net cash earn (burn) rate provides meaningful information about our ability to meet our working capital needs.  Net cash earn (burn), as presented below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies necessarily calculate net cash earn (burn) in an identical manner and, therefore, it is not necessarily an accurate measure of comparison between companies.  The following table is a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to loss from operations.

While we previously expected to have no net cash burn in 2011, the net cash burn occurred solely related to the XtFt acquisition and the ongoing game development costs. We have budgeted capital expenditures of $250,000 for the remainder of 2011, which will allow us to continue to grow the business given our member growth, increasing capacity, improving performance and providing redundant back up for content. 
 
On November 10, 2011, we completed the myYearbook Merger paying its shareholders $18 million in cash.  On November 9, 2011 we sold $5 million of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock to MATT. Inc. an existing Quespasa shareholder.  This investment together with approximately $14.4 million in available cash permitted us to close the myYearbook Merger.
 
As of the date of the filing of this report, we have approximately $7.7 million in cash and $10.0 million in accounts receivable which includes myYearbook.  Management believes that we have sufficient working capital to operate beyond the next 12 months.

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 our integration of myYearbook, continued consumer acceptance of our social games, whether initial game revenue will grow, and catastrophic failure to our servers requiring material unanticipated capital expenditures. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Form S-4/A filed on October 4, 2011.  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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies

 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are 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.  However, 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.

**The confidential disclosure schedules are not filed in accordance with SEC Staff policy, but will be provided to the Staff upon request. The agreement contains representations and warranties, which are qualified by the following factors:
 
(i)
the representations and warranties contained in the agreement were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties and not as a means of establishing facts;
(ii)
the agreement may have different standards of materiality than standards of materiality under applicable securities laws;
(iii)
the representations are qualified by a confidential disclosure schedule that contains nonpublic information that is not material under applicable securities laws;
(iv)
facts may have changed since the date of the agreement; and
(v)
only parties to the agreement and specified third-party beneficiaries have a right to enforce the agreement.
 
Notwithstanding the above, any information contained in a schedule that would cause a reasonable investor (or that a reasonable investor would consider important in making a decision) to buy or sell our common stock has been included. We have been further advised by our counsel that in all instances the standard of materiality under the federal securities laws will determine whether or not information has been omitted; in other words, any information that is not material under the federal securities laws may be omitted. Furthermore, information which may have a different standard of materiality would nonetheless have been disclosed if material under the federal securities laws.
 
Copies of any of the exhibits referred to above will be furnished at no cost to shareholders who make a written request therefore to Corporate Secretary, Quepasa Corporation, 324 Datura Street, Suite 114, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.
