NOTE 1 -
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(A) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.  Please refer to our most recent annual report for a more comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.  The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
 
(B) Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying 2011 and 2010 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Snap Interactive, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, eTwine, Inc. and Snap Mobile Limited (collectively, the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
(C) Use of Estimates
 
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our most significant estimates are for potential credit card chargebacks and refunds based on our historical chargeback and refund experience.  We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Sales are reduced by the amount of these estimates.
 
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
(E) Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).  Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(F) Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
 
The Company values furniture, fixtures and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. The Company depreciates software and website costs over a three-year useful life, computer equipment over a five-year useful life, furniture over a seven–year useful life and fixtures, including leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease.
 
In accordance with ASC No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
 
There were no impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

(G) Intangible Assets
 
In accordance with ASC No. 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, the Company requires that intangible assets with a finite life be amortized over their life and requires that goodwill and intangible assets be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.
 
(H) Stock-Based Compensation
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of stock-based compensation arrangements based on the grant date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Stock-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans.  As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Compensation amounts concerning stock options, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grant.
 
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to persons other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718.  ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”) defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments.  In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete and (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the ASC 505.
 
(I) Business Segments
 
The Company operates in one segment, and therefore segment information is not presented.
 
(J) Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by ASC No. 260, Earnings Per ShareDiluted net income (loss) per share includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and stock equivalents.  To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 8,162,500 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and 525,555 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 6,645,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of income and warrants per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

(K) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable, credit card holdback receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, accrued interest - related party and convertible notes payable - related party is the approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
 
(L) Research and Development
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC No. 350, Intangibles – Goodwill & Other.  Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development expenses while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be five years.  Expenses subsequent to the launch have been expensed as research and development expenses.
 
(M) Concentration of Credit Risk

At September 30, 2011, accounts receivable of $466,806 consisted of two main types of receivables; receivables from payment processors and receivables from advertising networks.

At September 30, 2011, $311,012 was receivable from payment processors constituting numerous customer charges that occurred prior to the close of the period but that were not yet remitted by the payment processor to the Company. The settlement of credit card sales typically occurs several days after the date of the charge. The Company generally receives payments from mobile payment processors each month. At September 30, 2011, 24% of accounts receivable was due from one credit card payment processor, 16% was due from a mobile payment processor, 14% was due from a second credit card payment processor and 12% was due from a second mobile payment processor.

At September 30, 2011, $155,794 was receivable primarily from one advertising network.
 
At times the Company has cash in bank accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company had approximately $2,052,823 and $2,052,693 in excess of FDIC insurance limits as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company also had a credit card holdback receivable of $445,405 as of September 30, 2011, which was held by payment processors and $269,015 of which was not FDIC insured.

(N) Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
The Company has revenue streams consisting of subscriptions, sales of points and advertisements.
 
The Company recognizes revenue from monthly premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are used. Revenues are presented net of refunds, credits and known credit card chargebacks.   Subscriptions are currently offered in durations of varying length from one month to six months – generally in one-month, three-month and six-month terms.
 
Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized over the length of the subscription term rather than when the subscription is purchased. Because a significant amount of the Company’s subscription sales occurred from subscriptions with a term of three or six months, the Company apportions that revenue over the duration of the subscription term even though it is collected in full at the time of purchase. The difference between the gross cash receipts collected and the recognized revenue from those sales during that reporting period will appear as deferred revenue.

The Company recognizes revenue from the direct sale of “points” over two months.  Points can be used in exchange for premium features on products. 
 
The Company recognizes advertising revenue as earned on a click-through, impression, and registration or subscription basis.  When a user clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicked on through the Company’s applications (CPA basis), or clicks on an offer to subscribe to premium features on the Company’s applications, the contract amount is recognized as revenue.
 
The Company’s payment processors have established routine reserve accounts to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under its service agreements, which is standard practice within the payment processing industry.  These reserve accounts withhold a small percentage of the Company’s sales in a segregated account in the form of a six-month rolling reserve.  The funds that are withheld each month are returned to the Company on a monthly basis after six months of being held in the reserve account and any remaining funds will be returned to the Company 90 to 180 days following termination of such agreements.  These funds are classified as credit card holdback receivable and totaled $445,405 and $239,452 as at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had the following revenues:

(O) Programming, Hosting and Technology Expense
 
Programming, hosting and technology expense includes the expenses associated with the operation of data centers, including labor, consulting, hosting, server, web design and programming expenses.

(R) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”), which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. ASU 2009-13 significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements upon its required adoption.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13 (“ASU 2010-13”), which amends ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) to clarify that a stock-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award is not to be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity classification. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of ASC 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted.  The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
 
The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.  The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recent nature of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating when it will adopt of ASU 2011-05, but it will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This ASU would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The ASU includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

(S) Investments

ASC 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320”), as amended and interpreted, requires that at the time of purchase, designation of a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading depending on the ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. Accordingly, all securities held at September 30, 2011 are designated as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost.

ASC 320 provides guidance on determining when an investment is other than temporarily impaired. The Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in income. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. The Company has not recorded any equity investment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  Under GAAP, fair value of such securities is determined based upon a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair values into three broad levels.
 
The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities reflects the Company's estimate of amounts that it would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from sources independent from the Company) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (the Company's assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).

The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:
 
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
     
Level 2:
 
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
Level 3:
 
Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets
    Level 2: Quoted Prices in Inactive Markets for Identical Assets    
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

On January 1, 2010, the Company and its Co-Founder revised his employment agreement and agreed to issue 300,000 shares to him in exchange for 3,000,000 options previously issued and expensed on December 1, 2007.  The shares issued will vest upon the earlier of three years or in the event that there is a change in control in the Company due to reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of the Company.  In addition, the employment agreement provides him with annual compensation of $160,000 per year, with annual bonus and salary increases determined by the Company.  The agreement also calls for its Co-Founder to receive health benefits, monthly membership for a health and fitness facility as well as a complete annual physical.  In addition, upon a change in control of the Company, the employee will receive severance payments equal to the remaining amounts due under the employment agreement plus a minimum of two years base compensation, plus any prorated share of incentive compensation and stock options associated with any signing bonus, plus health benefits up to two years and up to $50,000 in job search costs.  On October 10, 2008, the Company also issued 750,000 shares of common stock having a fair value of $50,000 on the date of grant.  Beginning February 28, 2009, the employee receives $750 per month as a transportation allowance.  As of September 30, 2011, the employment agreement had not been extended, however the employment relationship has continued under the same terms with an increased annual salary of $190,000, effective February 1, 2011.

In accordance with ASC 718, this exchange transaction was treated as a modification of an award and incremental compensation cost was measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the 300,000 shares issued over the fair value of the exchanged options immediately before its terms were modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at that date.
 
The Company has valued the exchanged options at their fair value on March 1, 2010, using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.  The assumptions used were as follows:
 
   Expected life:
 
1 year
 
   Expected volatility:
    141.34 %
   Risk free interest rate:
    3.31 %
   Expected dividends:
    0 %
 
Based on the above calculation, the Company has determined that there is no additional compensation to be realized as result of this modification.
 
On December 13, 2006, the Company executed an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer with an initial term of the employment agreement expiring on December 1, 2007.  The employment agreement was renewed for a period of one additional year through December 1, 2008, and has not been subsequently extended.  As compensation for services the President and Chief Executive Officer received a salary of a salary of $210,000 in 2010 and an increased annual salary of $250,000, effective February 1, 2011.  The President and Chief Executive Officer also receives health benefits, a monthly membership for a health and fitness facility as well as a complete annual physical.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, a $200,000 cash year-end bonus was also issued.  The Company has also agreed to indemnify its President and Chief Executive Officer against any action or suit brought against him as a result of the performance of his job duties.

Overview
 
We develop, own and operate dating and social networking software applications that can be accessed by users on social networking websites and platforms, such as Facebook, and iPhone users, as well as an online dating website and a location-based social networking application and website. Application brands that we have created and maintain include AreYouInterested.com and WhoIsNear.com.  Our portfolio of applications is designed to appeal to a broad base of Internet and iPhone users.  We transitioned our leading application AreYouInterested.com from an advertising-based revenue model to a subscription-based revenue model in late 2009, and in 2010 and through the third quarter of 2011, we have primarily generated revenue from subscription fees on our AreYouInterested.com Facebook application and our AreYouInterested.com Internet website.  WhoIsNear.com does not generate revenue at this point in time as we have prioritized increasing our share of the location-based services market and in building a best-in-class product ahead of any immediate revenue generation.  
 
 
21

 
 
During the third quarter of 2011, there were more than 8.5 million new installations of the AreYouInterested.com Facebook application and more than 675,000 new downloads of the AreYouInterested.com iPhone mobile dating application.  Installations and downloads do not necessarily translate into active users or paying subscribers.
 
We typically purchase advertising from a wide variety of sources on the Internet, third-party platforms and applications that run on such platforms on a daily basis.  We intend to increase user acquisition campaigns as additional inventory becomes available through existing sources or as we continue to identify and pursue new avenues for user acquisition campaigns.

Expanding our presence on mobile platforms is a core objective for us moving forward. Although revenue opportunities on our mobile products are not currently significant, we are investing heavily in engineering and user acquisition on our mobile products while mobile platforms are still in the early stages of development and user acquisition costs are inexpensive. We believe that mobile dating applications and location-based services applications will offer significant opportunities in the future and have increased the resources allocated to these products with the goal of positioning us as a leading provider of these products. We expect revenue opportunities to continue to emerge in the future; however, we do not expect significant revenue opportunities from our mobile products in the near-term. A primary component of our mobile initiatives is to continue creating a seamless experience for users on our products across multiple platforms.  We believe that this forward-thinking approach will better position us to be a leading provider of these mobile products in the future as more and more web browsing and web activity shifts to smart phones and other mobile devices.

How We Generate Revenue
 
In the fourth quarter of 2009, we implemented a subscription-based revenue model into our AreYouInterested.com Facebook application as well as AreYouInterested.com in order to generate additional revenue.  We had previously generated the majority of our revenue through advertisements placed on our products.  Since the beginning of 2010, subscription fees and premium sales have been our primary sources of revenue and in 2011, subscription fees have become the overwhelming majority of our revenue.  In the first quarter of 2011, we began to significantly increase our marketing and advertising expenditures, which we believe has supported growth in our subscription revenue since such time.  Our subscription-based offering on the AreYouInterested.com brand provides users with unlimited messaging, unlimited access to communicate with their matches, the ability to see who viewed their profile, the ability to send an unlimited number of premium virtual gifts, and access to several other premium features.  Our WhoIsNear.com brand does not generate revenue at this point in time as we have prioritized increasing our share of the location-based services market and in building a best-in-class product ahead of any immediate revenue generation.

Currently, most of our revenue comes from subscriptions on the AreYouInterested.com Facebook dating application. However, despite the growth in subscription revenue over the last several quarters, we remain very focused on our mobile products and plan to continue investing heavily in development of our mobile products and user acquisition on mobile platforms. While growing the subscription base of AreYouInterested.com on the web remains an objective, our priority for AreYouInterested.com and WhoIsNear.com will continue to be focused on developing these mobile products. Although revenue opportunities on our mobile products are not currently as prevalent as they are on our web-based products, we are pursuing this course of action because we have a long-term view for our product roadmap and believe this will better position our products for long-term success.
 
We recognize revenue from monthly premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are provided. Revenues are presented net of refunds, credits and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.  Our subscriptions are currently offered in durations of one-, three- and six-month terms.  Longer-term plans (those with durations longer than one month) are generally available at discounted monthly rates.  All subscription fees, however, are collected at the time of purchase regardless of the length of the subscription term.  Revenues from longer-term plans are recognized pro-rata over the subscription term.  Pursuant to our terms of service, most subscriptions automatically renew for periods of the same length as the original subscription term until subscribers terminate them.
 
We also recognize revenue from the direct sale of “points” over two months. Members can either purchase or earn points by performing activities, such as by browsing profiles, that can be used in exchange for accessing certain premium features on our applications. Determining whether the criteria for spending points has been satisfied often involves management making assumptions and judgments that may have an impact on the timing and amount of revenue we recognize in each period. At this time, we believe that our assumptions and judgments are fair, and we will continue to monitor them in order to determine if there are significant changes in usage patterns.

We currently offer several different payment method options and maintain relationships with multiple payment processors in order to: (i) diversify our risk and reliance on a single payment processor, (ii) ensure competitive rates and (iii) offer our users as many payment options as possible.  We intend to continue testing and implementing additional payment methods as opportunities arise and resources permit.
 
Our Business Objectives
 
During the remainder of 2011, our business objectives include:
 
Upgrading and developing our AreYouInterested.com and WhoIsNear.com products with new features, enhancements and optimizations;
 
Continuing to integrate and expand the overall product offering between the AreYouInterested.com Facebook application, AreYouInterested.com website and AreYouInterested.com iPhone application for an enhanced user experience across all platforms;
 
Increasing the amount of resources devoted to mobile initiatives and increasing usage and engagement on our mobile products;
 
Refining our marketing and statistical tracking tools on the AreYouInterested.com brand;
 
Determining whether to build new applications on social networking platforms and whether to develop and explore new mobile platforms and products; and
 
Identifying and exploring new opportunities that emerge in our rapidly evolving industry.

Advertising and marketing expense increased to $3,389,934 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $759,363 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, representing an increase of $2,630,571, or 346%. The increase in advertising and marketing expense is attributable to an increase in user acquisition campaigns. We anticipate experiencing further increases in marketing expenses throughout the remainder of 2011.
 
Programming, hosting and technology expense increased to $784,457 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $359,501 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $424,956, or 118%.  The increase in programming, hosting and technology expense is primarily attributable to increased salary expenses due to expansion of our staff as well as increased expenses related to the optimization of our email deliverability.

General and administrative expense also increased due to increased insurance expense, recruiting expense and increased costs associated with the overall expansion of our business.

Compensation expense (excluding the cost of developers and programmers included in programming, hosting and technology expense above) increased to $568,816 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $159,876 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, representing an increase of $408,940 or 256%.  The increase in compensation expense was due to primarily increased bonus accrual versus the prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are currently financing our operations through cash generated by our financing in the first quarter of 2011, subscription fees received from our applications and online dating website, fees for premium features of our applications and revenues derived from advertisements purchased on our various applications.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $2,692,668 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $3,018,876 as of December 31, 2010.  As of September 30, 2011, we had $9,677,811 in overall liquidity including investments.  Historically, our working capital has been generated by operations. If we continue to grow and expand our operations, our need for working capital will increase. For the near-term, we do not anticipate being profitable because we intend to increase our marketing and advertising expenditures to acquire new users and we expect to hire additional employees. We expect to finance our internal growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof. We believe that our cash provided from operations, cash on hand and investments will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

A significant portion of our expenses is related to user acquisition costs. Our marketing and advertising expenses are primarily spent on channels where we can estimate the return on investment without long-term commitments. Accordingly, we can adjust our marketing and advertising expenditures quickly based on the expected return on investment, which provides flexibility and enables us to control our expenses. We expect to continue using capital to hire additional employees and for user acquisition campaigns across all products.
 
Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $931,661 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $239,678 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease of $1,171,339 is primarily attributable to the increase in net loss, particularly from increases in advertising and marketing expense as described above.  Increased sources of cash from increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses were offset by uses of cash related to deferred revenue and increases in prepaid expenses and accounts receivable.  Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $8,003,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants in the first quarter of 2011.  Cash used in investing activities increased $7,384,192 to $7,398,372 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $14,180 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to investments in marketable securities, certificates of deposit and the purchase of fixed assets.

Financing Activities

On January 19, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), for total subscription proceeds of $8,500,000 (the “Offering”) we issued: (i) 4,250,000 shares of our common stock (the “Purchased Shares”) and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into 2,125,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $2.50 per share to certain accredited investors (the “Investors”).  The number of shares of common stock to be received upon the exercise of the Warrants and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur after the Closing Date.
 
In connection with the Offering, we granted the Investors registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we filed a registration statement on February 11, 2011, as amended by an amended registration statement filed on April 6, 2011, registering for resale by the Investors (i) all of the Purchased Shares; (ii) the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and (iii) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing.

In connection with the Offering, we paid a cash placement agency fee to the placement agent equal to 6% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors.  We further agreed to pay a cash fee equal to 6% of the aggregate cash exercise price received by us upon the exercise of the Warrants.

For a more detailed description of the Offering, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC the on January 21, 2011.

We currently have no lines of credit or access to short-term borrowing or financing options.  We are using cash generated from operations as well as cash from our private placement to fund our operations.  Because we have no lines of credit from which to finance operations, we would be dependent upon third-party financing or obtaining such borrowing facilities if the need for immediate capital were to arise.

We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 605, Revenue Recognition. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured.  We have revenue streams consisting of subscriptions, sales of points and advertisements.  We recognize revenue from monthly premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are used.  Revenues are presented net of refunds, credits and known credit card chargebacks. Subscriptions are currently offered in durations of varying length from one month to six months – generally in one-month, three-month and six-month terms.  Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized over the length of the subscription term rather than when the subscription is purchased.  Because a significant amount of our subscription sales occurred from subscriptions with a term of three-months or six-months, we apportion that revenue over the duration of the subscription term even though it is collected in full at the time of purchase.  The difference between the gross cash receipts collected and the recognized revenue from those sales during that reporting period will appear as deferred revenue.  We also recognize revenue from the direct sale of “points” over two months. Points can be used in exchange for premium features on products.  We recognize advertising revenue as earned on a click-through, impression, and registration or subscription basis.  When a user clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicked on through our applications (CPA basis), or clicks on an offer to subscribe to premium features on our applications, the contract amount is recognized as revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
We account for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).  Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
In accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), we measure the compensation costs of stock-based compensation arrangements based on the grant date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Stock-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans.  As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value.  Compensation amounts concerning stock options, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grant.  Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718.  ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”) defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments.  In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete and (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the ASC 505.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”), which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. ASU 2009-13 significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements upon its required adoption.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13 (“ASU 2010-13”), which amends ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) to clarify that a stock-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award is not to be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity classification. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of ASC 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted.  The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
 
The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.  The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recent nature of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating when it will adopt of ASU 2011-05, but it will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This ASU would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The ASU includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Not applicable.
 
Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosures Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures 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.
 
Based on the evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our  reports filed with the SEC (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting include: (i) management’s failure to issue stock certificates in a timely manner to certain employees, upon their meeting of all requirements to earn such shares and (ii) our lack of an audit committee.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Other Information.
 
On October 21, 2011, our Board of Directors amended and restated the Snap Interactive, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”) to allow for the issuance of “incentive stock option” awards, and the Board of Directors also approved the form of award agreement for such awards.  The form of incentive stock option award agreement provides that the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise, the exercise price per share and the vesting schedule of each incentive stock option award will be determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof on a grant by grant basis.  The vested portion of an incentive stock option may be exercised at any time during a ten-year period beginning on the date of grant, or a five-year period beginning on the date of grant if awarded to a 10% or more stockholder.
 
Under the current form of award agreement, in the event of a “change in control,” the vesting of the then unvested portion of the incentive stock option will automatically accelerate and become vested (i) one-half on the date of the change in control and (ii) one-half on the earlier of (a) the original date the shares would have vested or (b) equally on the first and second anniversary of the effective date of the change in control.  On the date a recipient ceases to serve as an employee, any unvested portion of his or her incentive stock option award will terminate.  Any vested but unexercised portion of the recipient’s incentive stock option award will terminate on the earliest of (i) the termination date listed in the award agreement, (ii) twelve months following the date of the recipient’s termination of service due to death, retirement or total and permanent disability, (iii) immediately, upon the recipient’s termination for “cause” and (iv) three months following the date of the recipient’s termination of service for any reason other than for death, total and permanent disability, or “cause.”

In connection with the hiring of Jon Pedersen, on October 27, 2011, the Company awarded Mr. Pedersen an incentive stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, an incentive stock option to purchase 478,609 shares of common stock and a nonqualified stock option to purchase 21,391 shares of common stock.  The incentive stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock vested one-half upon the date of grant and will vest in full on the six month anniversary of the date of grant.
