1.             NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

The Company designs, develops, and sells personal, pet, and vehicle locator devices and services including PocketFinder® People, PocketFinder® Pets and PocketFinder® Vehicles. The PocketFinder® is a small, completely wireless, location device that enables a user to locate a person, pet, vehicle or valuable item at any time from almost anywhere using Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and General Packet Radio Service (“GPRS”) technologies. The Company is located in Irvine, California.

Organization

Location Based Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Springbank Resources, Inc.) (the “Company,” “our,” or “LBT”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 10, 2006.

Location Based Technologies, Corp. (formerly known as PocketFinder, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on September 16, 2005. On July 7, 2006, it established PocketFinder, LLC (“LLC”), a California Limited Liability Company. On May 29, 2007, PocketFinder, Inc. filed amended articles with the Secretary of State to change its name to Location Based Technologies, Corp.

Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K of Location Based Technologies, Inc. for the year ended August 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. For further information, these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2012, included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K/A.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of November 30, 2012, had an accumulated deficit of $48,440,466. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management intends to raise additional financing through debt and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, even if the Company raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.

1.             NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts or balances to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the balance sheets and statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The cash and cash equivalent balances at November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012 were principally held by two institutions which insured our aggregated accounts with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000 per insured banking institution. At times, the Company has maintained bank balances which have exceeded FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to its cash balances.

Revenue and Accounts Receivable For the three months ended November 30, 2012, revenue from two of the Company’s largest customers amounted to $43,011 or 21% of total net revenue. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $100,957 or 94% of total accounts receivable at November 30, 2012. For the three months ended November 30, 2011, revenue from one of the Company’s customers amounted for $39,941 or 90.5% of total net revenue. Accounts receivable from this customer amounted to $430,121 or 99.8% of total accounts receivable as of November 30, 2011.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012 the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $304,597 and is related to the LoadRack project.
 
Allowance for Sales returns
 
An allowance for sales returns is recorded as a reduction to revenue and based on management’s judgment using historical experience and expectation of future conditions. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012 the allowance for sales returns amounted to $15,875 and $34,343, respectively.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and primarily consisted of components and finished goods for the Company’s PocketFinder® products. Packaging costs are expensed as incurred. The Company provides for a lower-of-cost-or-market ("LCM") adjustment against gross inventory values. The Company recorded an inventory valuation reserve for LCM inventory adjustments amounting to $58,473 during the three months ended November 30, 2012 related to the liability from inventory purchase commitments. The Company has not recorded an allowance for obsolescence as there are no issues with obsolescence as of November 30, 2012. In addition, a portion of the inventory totaling $1,350,000 is classified as a noncurrent asset at November 30, 2012 (see Note 2).

Net losses on firm purchase commitments for inventory are recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 330 – Inventory, whereby losses arising from firm, uncancelable and unhedged commitments for the future purchase of inventory items are recognized in the current period. During the year ended August 31, 2011, the Company recognized losses and a related liability from inventory purchase commitments totaling $685,500. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, the liability from inventory purchase commitments amounted to $0 and $48,054, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Pursuant to FASB ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet. The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method and with useful lives used in computing depreciation ranging from 1 to 5 years. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 – Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets that requires long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of certain patents amounting to $455,916.

Intangible Assets – Patents and Trademarks

The Company capitalizes internally developed assets related to certain costs associated with patents and trademarks. These costs include legal and registration fees needed to apply for and secure patents. The intangible assets acquired from other enterprises or individuals in an “arms length” transaction are recorded at cost. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, the Company capitalized $753,715 for patent related expenditures. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, the Company capitalized $59,470 for trademark related expenditures.

Patents are subject to amortization upon issuance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Intangible assets are amortized in accordance with FASB ASC 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or remaining legal life. Amortization expense totaled $16,792 and $7,613 for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is a liability related to a revenue producing activity for which revenue has not yet been recognized. As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, deferred revenue amounted to $11,376 and $16,539, respectively, and consisted of prepaid service revenue from subscribers.
 
Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable

The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable when the conversion rate is below market value. Pursuant to FASB ASC 470-20 – Debt With Conversion and Other Options, the estimated fair value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded in the financial statements as a discount from the face amount of the notes. Such discounts are amortized over the term of the notes or conversion of the notes, if sooner.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features in its convertible debentures in accordance FASB ASC 815-10 – Derivatives and Hedging, which requires a periodic valuation of their fair value and a corresponding recognition of liabilities associated with such derivatives, and FASB ASC 815-40 – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of convertible debt is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance as a debt discount, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as “Loss on Valuation of Derivative” in other expense. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities is recognized as “Gain (Loss) on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability” in other income (expense).
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) the products or services have been provided to the customer, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where the customer, at its discretion, has the right to reject the product or services prior to final acceptance, revenue is deferred until such acceptance occurs.
 
In the last quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company changed its accounting policy regarding revenue recognition. Previously, the Company made reductions to revenue for product held at distributors that were accounted for as deferred revenue until product was “sold through” to retailers. The Company is no longer deferring revenue recognition until the product is “sold through” to retailers. 
 
Device Sales Revenue – Revenue from the sales of PocketFinder® products is recognized upon shipment to website customers and upon delivery to distributors net of an allowance for estimated returns. The allowance for sales returns is estimated based on management’s judgment using historical experience and expectation of future conditions.
 
Service Revenue – Service revenue consists of monthly service fees initiated by the customer upon activation of a PocketFinder® device. Services fees are billed and collected in advance of the service provided for that month. Service revenue is recognized upon billing the customer.

On March 16, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) for $500,000 pursuant to which the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement (“Note”) for $555,000 consisting of $500,000 of principal and $55,000 of prepaid interest, and “V warrants” to purchase 869,565 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Note, $555,000 of principal and interest shall be repaid by September 16, 2012. If the loan is repaid within the first 90 days, no additional interest shall be charged. If the Company extends the loan beyond the first 90 days, an additional 12% interest shall be charged for the next 90 days. The Note contains a maturity date default provision whereby the greater of a predetermined conversion amount or 130% of the principal and 100% of the accrued interest is due if the note is not repaid by the due date. The Note can be converted into the Company’s common stock at the end of the term only if the principal and interest are not repaid based upon the conversion price formula. The warrants permit for the purchase of 869,565 shares of common stock at $0.23 per share. The warrants expire on March 16, 2017. Under the terms of the SPA, $200,000 was allocated for the purchase of the warrants and the remaining $300,000 was allocated for the Note. As of November 30, 2012, the note payable balance and accrued interest totaled $555,000 and $66,600, respectively.

On September 16, 2012, the Company did not extend the due date of the $555,000 Promissory Note Agreement with JMJ Financial. As such, the Company is in default in the payment of the principal and unpaid accrued interest and the note holder is able to convert unpaid principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock.

In accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, the Company determined that the conversion feature of the Note met the criteria of an embedded derivative, and therefore the conversion feature of this Note needed to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative. The fair value of the embedded conversion was estimated at the default date when the Note became convertible using the Black-Scholes model. As such, on the default date, the Company recorded the conversion options as a liability and recorded a loss in the value of the derivative liability of $196,103. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company recorded a loss for the change in fair value of the derivative liability in the amount of $392,137 due to the fluctuation in the current market prices.

Contingencies

In 2007, the Company sold convertible notes to accredited investors in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and similar state exemptions. Management has been advised by counsel that the availability of those exemptions cannot be determined with legal certainty due to the fact that the Company or its predecessors may not have complied with all of the provisions of exemption safe-harbors for such sales offered by rules promulgated under the Securities Act by the SEC. Thus, it is possible that a right of rescission may exist for shares underlying the convertible notes for which the statute of limitations has not run. From November 2007 through December 2007, all of the convertible notes payable totaling $5,242,000 were converted into 15,726,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, some of the shares were sold in the open market. Management has performed an analysis under FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and concluded that the likelihood of a right of rescission being successfully enforced on the remaining convertible note shares is remote, and consequently, has accounted for these shares in permanent equity in the financial statements.

11.           PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences arise from the difference between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and tax rates on the date of enactment.

The Company did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income taxes or benefits for any of the periods presented because the Company has experienced operating losses since inception. The Company provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn sufficient income to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.

The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2032. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. These carryforwards may be limited upon a change in ownership or consummation of a business combination under IRC Sections 381 and 382.

As of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, no accrued interest and penalties are recorded relating to uncertain tax positions. Any such interest and penalties would be included in interest expense as a component of pre-tax net income or loss. The Company's tax filings are no longer open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years prior to 2008 and by state taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2007.

Overview.  We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April 2006 as Springbank Resources, Inc. (“SRI”).  SRI was formed to engage in the exploration and development of oil and gas, and by 2007 had disposed of all of its assets and satisfied its liabilities.  In October 2007, SRI acquired all of the outstanding stock of Location Based Technologies, Corp. (“Old LBT”), following which SRI merged Old LBT into itself and, in the process, SRI’s name was changed to Location Based Technologies, Inc.  Old LBT was incorporated in September 2005 by David Morse, Joseph Scalisi and Desiree Mejia, who became our officers and directors, in order to develop the PocketFinder personal locators.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 49 Discovery, Suite 260, Irvine, California 92618, and our telephone number is 888-600-1044.
 
Our shares of common stock are currently traded in the over-the-counter market and our stock price is reported on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “LBAS.”

Our flagship product, the PocketFinder, is a small, waterproof, rugged and completely wireless location device that enables users to easily locate anyone or anything they care about, from a computer or web-enabled device. Our products deliver critical information to users, such as: device location, longitude, latitude, heading speed and 60 days of location history. This information can be viewed passively through a user’s account or can be actively sent to a user via SMS text, email or push notification if the user sets an alert. The target markets for the PocketFinder include: young children, seniors, people with special needs and people who need to track valuable assets such as luggage or sporting equipment.  In addition to the PocketFinder, we also sell the PocketFinder Pet and the PocketFinder Vehicle products.  The PocketFinder Pet is designed for pets weighing 15 pounds or more, and we market the PocketFinder Vehicle to families with new drivers, car enthusiasts, motorcycle owners, watercraft owners and business fleets.  The PocketFinder Vehicle attaches directly to a battery or fuse box, so it has a constant supply of power.  All PocketFinder products operate on the same user interface, which enables our customers receive the same features, functionality and user-experience, regardless of which product they own.  To access their account or locate their devices, users can logon to our website at www.pocketfinder.com or use our native iPhone, iPad or Android Apps.
 
We generate revenue by selling our products and charging customers an ongoing service fee, for which we offer monthly and annual subscription plans.  All of our products that are sold in the US operate on the AT&T cellular network.  The GPS data which is collected by the device is transmitted to our customers (via our servers) on AT&T’s network.  Since AT&T’s network operates in over 95% of the wireless world, our products can work around the globe.  Customers who use their devices internationally will incur a higher monthly charge.

In addition to the PocketFinder family of products, we also sell devices and services that are designed for business and governmental use.  These devices include the PF-886 and the LBT Solutions Vehicle.  The PF-886 functions similarly to the PocketFinder, but is much larger in size primarily due to its larger battery.  The PF-886 is designed to last for up to 5 months on a single charge and is ideal for asset and cargo tracking.  The LBT Solutions Vehicle comes with 2, 3 and 4 wire options, which provides additional features such as engine on/off monitoring and engine kill capability.  All of our commercial customers also have access to enhanced reporting features.  Commercial customers access their account and view their devices by visiting www.locationbasedtech.com or by downloading our native iPhone, iPad or Android Apps.

We have completed our first year of sales for our PocketFinder products in the Apple Stores in the U.S. and Canada.  We also continued sales through Apple Online for both the PocketFinder and the PocketFinder Vehicle.

We recently expanded the sales channel for our consumer products to include Crutchfield and Amazon.  PocketFinder Pet and Vehicle locators are also available to purchase from our website at www.pocketfinder.com.  Combined sales and activations are showing steady increases of approximately 15% month over month.  Advertising and general market awareness over the past calendar year include our PocketFinder products highlighted by Dr. Gadget on the radio and on ABC’s The View and Extra, NBC’s Today Show, and a month long focus on teen driving safety in partnership with NBCUniversal in Texas.  In addition, Jennifer Jolly presented our products in Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles on CNN, CBS, WGN, WLS, Daily Motion, and ABC’s Money Matters.  Similarly, Steve Greenberg presented our products on NYC WPIX, NBC in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Miami, Seattle, Minnesota, and Denver, Chicago’s WGN, ABC in Dallas and on CBS in Houston.  We are significantly expanding our presence on the web through social media as well as in digital and print media.

Our Apple device sales are restricted to the United States and Canada yet our devices continue to draw international attention.  We currently have devices working in over 70 countries (37% of all countries in the world) and multiple requests for distribution opportunities from 64 countries around the world.  Associated with this kind of interest, we are working with a select few of these distributors and addressing the need for local wireless carrier involvement in order to be able to provide a reasonably priced monthly service fee, solid customer and technical support, and market reach.  In November 2012, we entered into an agreement with our first European distributor, EE (a partnership between Orange Telecom and Deutsche’s Telecom), which is the largest M2M telecommunications company in the United Kingdom.  We expect to have devices for sale in EE retail stores in the first calendar quarter of 2013.

Commercial growth has been a meaningful revenue contributor.  The company officially launched its Business Solutions Platform (www.locationbasedtech.com) in August of 2012 and through October of 2012 approximately 150 business customers are benefitting from our Business Solutions location services.  Our largest business customer is AT&T and they will use our devices to track their own equipment domestically.  The majority of our customers are small and mid-sized customers seeking high value pricing and simplified interfaces that minimize training time and requirements.  We are adding approximately 1.5 new business customers per day.  Orders for combined hardware sales of approximately $1.2M were received for delivery in the fourth quarter of calendar 2012.

Government and military organizations are also in various stages of testing our products. We anticipate the military could complete its testing by February of 2013.   Our relationship with The World Famous West Coast Customs (“WCC”) is moving forward as well.  We have entered into a co-branding relationship with WCC, and they will be selling a co-branded WCC PocketFinder and PocketFinder Vehicle through their distribution channels, which include Best Buy and www.bestbuy.com.  Additionally, our products will appear in several episodes the coming season of Inside West Coast Customs, and we are planning to have one episode devoted entirely to our PocketFinder Vehicle product. The show is scheduled to air in the beginning of 2013 and will reach an estimated 28.5M households.

We continue to work diligently on selling devices into Mexico.  Our products have received all of the necessary governmental certifications and we recently signed a distribution agreement with Sales and Support Representatives (“SaS Reps” or www.sasreps.com).  SaS Reps is a Distributor/Reseller/Agent of communications products and services to Central, North and South American service providers, manufacturers and resellers.  There continues to be pent up demand for various tracking applications in the world of logistics and we plan to address it through our relationship with SaS Reps.

Our products continue to be supported by feature rich Apps that allow users to maximize the functionality and benefits of PocketFinder devices from almost anywhere at any time.  The iPhone, native iPad, and Android Apps are free downloads available through the iTunes Store or on Google Play and the Android Market respectively.  They deliver the ability to set up and manage devices while users are on the go throughout the day or night from virtually anywhere in the world that the user’s phone has network connectivity.  BlackBerry and Windows Mobile Professional 6.0 Operating Systems are able to access the existing www.pocketfinder.com website to manage and set up accounts due to the Mobile Device optimization that has been done over the past few months.  
 
In February 2012, ABIresearch released a report (“Personal Location Devices and Applications Market”) stating that GPS personal tracking devices and applications were forecasted to grow with a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 40% with both markets breaking $1Billion in revenue in 2017.
 
Senior analyst Patrick Connolly stated, “The hardware market remained below 100,000 units in 2011.  However, it is forecasted to reach 2.5 million units in 2017, with significant growth in elderly, health, and lone worker markets.  Dedicated devices can offer significant benefits, with insurance and liability increasingly encouraging the use of approved equipment.”  LBT’s PocketFinder device was specifically cited in Mr. Connolly’s research findings.
 
In May 2012, Kumu Puri, Senior Executive, Accenture’s Electronics & High-Tech Group shared that over the past few years Accenture has studied usage of technology by consumers to identify major trends that might assist their corporate clients.  Their most recent survey of 19 different technologies across users in 10 countries revealed four major trends that they believe will be crucial over the next several years.  They are:
 
 
·
Consumers are reaching a state of “hypermobility,” rapidly adopting mobile technologies and downloading applications that keep them connected anywhere, anytime.
 
 
·
Consumers are increasingly reaching into the network and modifying their behaviors as they rely on cloud services.
 
 
·
Consumers’ use of electronics is increasingly more dependent on the exploding number of applications now within their reach.
 
 
·
Emerging markets lead in usage and spending growth of many consumer technologies.
 
 
41

 
 
Puri went on to say that, “Consumers are adopting mobile technology so rapidly that the mobility trend is in hyper-drive. While consumers still have strong ownership and usage of desktop or laptop computers (90% surveyed own them), purchase intentions for computers are slowly declining.  Simultaneously, smartphone and tablet PC ownership is rising steeply.  More than half of consumers we surveyed own a smartphone – up 25 points in the past 12 months.  This marks a growth rate of 89% over the previous year.  One-third of respondents bought a smartphone in 2011, an increase of 15 percentage points compared with 2010.  On a similar trajectory, ownership of tablets grew by 50% last year, from 8% of consumers owning them to 12%, according to our study.  These survey findings paint a picture of consumers striving to get and stay connected wherever they are via mobile technologies, abundant app choices and a growing set of service alternatives from the cloud.  The era of hypermobility has numerous implications for consumer electronics companies as they work to capture the greatest share of wallet among their target customers.”
  
We are aggressively moving LBT’s family of products and web-based features and functionality onto more functional mobile platforms to better meet the needs of this highly mobile society.  We are seeing similar demands and requirements in families and in businesses.  By taking advantage of the latest in GPS, GSM, and Internet technology, small and medium sized businesses are able to more effectively and efficiently manage their mobile assets and key human resources as well as to carefully monitor the shipping and delivery of high value assets.  Although we are only actively selling devices in the US and Canada, we find that many people have purchased our devices while visiting the US and then returned home to activate.  Global usage now comprises countries in much of Europe, Russia, Romania, Ukraine, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, Australia, and many countries in South America.
  
We receive customer feedback from vertical applications including outdoor enthusiasts, adult children of the elderly, elder care providers of patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia, special needs providers for those with disabilities, pet owners, and for the tracking and recovery of valuable property and luggage while traveling.  Our PocketFinder device is only fifty millimeters in diameter (about 2 inches).  It fits easily into a child’s pocket, into a backpack, or onto a belt.  The PocketFinder People and PocketFinder Pets devices come with a form-fitting silicone pouch or a rugged ballistic nylon casing that can easily slide onto a belt or a pet’s collar.
 
We continue to tightly control our overhead and ensure that we have the right resources in place at the right time.  We have a very talented senior management team that brings the right knowledge, skills and abilities to deliver world-class products and services.  Distribution opportunities are being negotiated as we carefully analyze each market opportunity against the cost of entry, potential growth, economic value, and support capability metrics.  We are developing a business model for international market opportunities and are in discussions with wireless carriers and/or distributors in multiple countries at this time.  Key personnel have been brought in as independent contractors to supplement our existing team with customer, sales and business development skills.  Our customer service center personnel have received consistently high feedback from customers who desired assistance and we offer support in English and Spanish.  
 
Our Personal Locator Services.  Our products are currently being sold through various brick-and-mortar and online retailers and through our website.  We provide customer service and support in the United States through existing, award winning call centers owned by Affinitas.  In the consumer market we are seeing multiple vertical market segments including the following:
 
  
Parents of young children (primarily 5 to 12 years of age) who seek the peace of mind of being able to know that their children are where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be there;
 
Small, mid-sized, and enterprise class business owners;
 
First time family drivers or for added security in heavy snow states;
 
Elder care and special needs support and applications such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Dementia, and Alzheimer’s;
 
Pet care and location capability; and
 
Asset tracking and location capability: cars, trucks, snowmobiles, fleet management, luggage, boats, RVs, and other high-valued assets.
 
Our Intellectual Property Investment.  We continue to invest in intellectual property that consists of apparatus patents and applications and system and method patents and applications.  We have filed claims that cover many aspects of the PocketFinder, its operating system and user interface.  We expanded and filed additional claims this fiscal year that cover new aspects of the PocketFinder People device, its operating system and user interface.  Our intellectual property portfolio includes 33 issued US patents, 12 pending US patents, 7 pending foreign patents, 6 PCT filings, 17 registered trademarks and 4 Madrid protocol trademark cases.

We own the Internet domain name www.pocketfinder.com and www.locationbasedtech.com as well as the names of numerous other related domains that could have use in future business and vertical marketing initiatives and for Internet marketing purposes.  Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as “.org,” or with a country designation.  The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names.

Our Target Markets and Marketing Strategy.  We provide wireless location based solutions for global positioning products along with its proprietary “friendly user interface” software system.  We deliver rugged, compact products with near real time location-based information over its proprietary server architecture.  Our products optimize the way businesses and families stay connected with one another: for pet owners to know where their pets are on demand and also provide solutions for asset tracking – such as shipping of high value assets or LoadRack Tracker’s trucking solution for controlled temperature environments.  We have the ability to add our customer’s existing location devices onto our superior location platform in order to simplify the customers need to manage all location-based devices through one easy tool.
  
PocketFinder and PocketFinder Vehicle devices are being sold in the United States and in Canada through the Apple Online Store and Apple Retail Stores.  PocketFinder devices for Pets are available for purchase on our website. We are also working on several “white label” marketing opportunities.  In addition, licensing opportunities are being explored on the international front.
 
Our marketing initiatives will include:

 
Licensing opportunities for the products in international areas or regions;
 
Self-branded or “white label” opportunities for niche market or vertical market sales;
 
Affinity group marketing and outreach opportunities;
 
Utilization of direct response sales due to public relations outreach in special interest magazines and newsletters; and
 
Retail distribution initiatives.
 
  Our Revenue Sources.  We expect our revenues to be derived from the following sources:

 
Potential licensing fees;
 
Organizations that will self-brand the PocketFinder for specialized niche markets (“white label”);
 
Asset and Personal Locator device sales to commercial customers and through retailers;
 
Personal Locator device sales through affinity groups and through our website;
 
Personal Locator device accessory sales; and
 
Monthly recurring service fees.

Our Growth Strategy.  Our objective is to become a premier provider of personal and asset location services in the Location Based Services market.  Our strategy is to provide high quality devices that meet the market’s requirements whether it is for business applications, for equipment and any other mobile asset, or for children, pets, or personal asset tracking (luggage, vehicles, boats, etc.).  Key elements of our strategy include market education of this new GPS mobile application and:
 
 
A mass market retail price of under $150.00 for Personal Location devices (customized asset and  trucking solutions with additional features and capabilities will be sold at a higher cost);
 
A basic monthly service fee in the U.S. for family applications of $12.95 and for most business applications under $20/month with multiple convenient access points (Smartphone and/or via the Internet);
 
Ease of use at the location interface point as well as with the device; and
 
Rugged design that meets the rigors of life and work.
 
 
43

 
 
Our Competition.  Personal location and property tracking devices are beginning to significantly penetrate the marketplace.  We believe this condition represents a tremendous opportunity as customers will be attracted in large numbers once the intrinsic value of such devices is recognized and mass market adoption begins.
 
Our competitors include, but are not limited to: Geospatial Platform Providers, Application Developers, Garmin’s GTU-10, Qualcomm’s Tagg, Lo-Jack, SpotLight, and commercial providers such as Fleetmatics,NetworkFleet, and Qualcomm.  Some competitors may be better financed, or have greater marketing and scientific resources than we do.
 
In related markets, GPS devices have become widely used for automotive and marine applications where line-of-sight to GPS satellites is not a significant issue.  Manufacturers such as Garmin, Navman, Magellan, TomTom, Pharos, NovAtel and DeLorne are finding a market interested in using these products for both business and leisure purposes.  As a result, use of GPS technology in devices such as chart plotters, fitness and training devices, fish finders, laptop computers, and personal digital assistant (“PDA”) location devices are gaining significant market acceptance and commercialization.  Prices range from $100 to several thousand dollars.  We expect that increasing consumer demand in these markets will drive additional applications and lower price points.
 
Government Regulation.  We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applied to businesses generally as well as Federal Communications Commission, Internationale Canada (“IC”) and CE (European Economic Area) wireless device regulations and controls.  We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in all relevant jurisdictions.  We are NOM and NYCE certified and ready to begin sales in Mexico.  We do not believe that we are subject to any environmental laws and regulations of the United States and the states in which we operate.
 
Our Research and Development.  We will continue to invest in ongoing research and development to enhance the size and performance of our existing products as well as to customize products to better fit specific vertical market needs and requirements.  We will continue to work with our U.S. based manufacturer and several other entities that are conducting research on key aspects of the device itself (including expanded antennae capability, battery capacity, Iridium Satellite connectivity, and enhanced location reliability and accuracy) in an ongoing effort to provide the best quality product at the very best size and value in the market.  We anticipate ongoing involvement with some level of developmental activity throughout the foreseeable future.
  
Employees and Outsourced Assistance.  We have limited our use of contracted professionals who have been engaged in hardware and software development, early marketing and sales preparation, and preparation for customer service support.  Mr. Scalisi, our Co-President and Chief Development Officer, Mr. Morse, our Co-President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mrs. Mejia, our Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Gregory Gaines, our Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, currently devote 100% of their business time to our operations.  Our CFO, Mr. Eric Fronk, is currently serving part-time.  In addition to our new Board members, we have added several key contributors with customer service, general counsel/business development, and sales leadership experience.  Remaining true to our “outsourced” model for growth and expansion, any large personnel increase will be accomplished through sales and customer support outsourced organizations contracted to provide respective services.  The company will remain focused on our core competency of providing location devices and services.

Our Website.  Our corporate websites, www.locationbasedtech.com and www.pocketfinder.com, provide a description of our corporate business along with our contact information including address, telephone number and e-mail address or product information and sales, respectively.  Our PocketFinder website also provides prospective customers with relevant information about our products, pricing and payment options, pre-ordering capability, frequently asked questions.  See www.locationbasedtech.com to access Business Solutions and our corporate investor relations information.  Information contained on our websites is not a part of this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
For the three months ended November 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2011.
 
Revenue.  For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we generated $208,555 of net revenue as compared to $44,116 of net revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  Net revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2012, consisted of $127,856 from the sales of PocketFinder devices and $80,699 from monthly subscription service income.  

Cost of Revenue.  For the three months ended November 30, 2012, cost of revenue totaled $309,040 resulting in a negative gross margin of $100,485 or 48% as compared to a negative gross margin of $210,611 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  The negative gross margin was less favorable during the three months ended November 30, 2011, as we incurred labor cost overages and higher than anticipated bill of material components costs to accelerate our initial production run to meet our distributor delivery deadlines.  We anticipate that our unit cost will be significantly lower as component costs decrease and as our production volumes grow.
 
Operating Expenses.  For the three months ended November 30, 2012, our total operating expenses were $1,910,485 as compared to total operating expenses of $1,723,763 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  Operating expenses increased by $186,722 or 11% in 2012 from 2011.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributed to the following fluctuations:

 
·
An $158,846 increase in general and administrative expenses to $607,360 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $448,514 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2012 as compared to 2011 is primarily due to increased advertising and marketing fees to market our products and increased computer expenses related to our website and development of the PocketFinder apps;

 
·
A $94,670 increase in officer compensation to $229,670 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $135,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, which was due to the addition of our Chief Marketing and Sales Officer and part-time Chief Financial Officer.  In addition, officer compensation related to the vesting of officer stock options amounted to $30,170 during the quarter ended November 30, 2012;

 
·
A $359,819 decrease in professional fees to $404,928 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $764,747 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  For the three months ended November 30, 2011, there were significant legal fees related to the Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. loan defaults and to prepare the filing of our registration statement on Form S-1, whereby there were no such fees incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2012;

 
·
A $313,935 decrease in research and development to $42,364 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $356,299 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, as a result of entering the final R&D phase for our PF886 product;

 
·
An $150,720 increase in salaries and wages to $150,720 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, whereby there were no such expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2011 due to the transition of six persons from consultant to employee status.  In addition, compensation related to the vesting of employee stock options amounted to $51,685 during the quarter ended November 30, 2012; and

 
·
The recognition of an asset impairment on certain patents totaling $455,916 during the three months ended November 30, 2012; whereby, there was no such impairment recognized during the three months ended November 30, 2011.

Other Income/Expenses.  For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we reported net other expenses totaling $1,413,734 that mainly consisted of net interest expense, financing costs, amortization of beneficial conversion feature, deferred financing costs, and loss on the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities as compared to net other expenses totaling $35,559 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.  The $1,378,175 increase in other income and expenses is primarily due to the following:

 
·
A $65,030 increase in financing costs to $81,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $15,970 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, primarily due to a $20,000 per month increase in the financing fee related to the personal guarantee for the line of credit;

 
·
A $61,233 increase in the amortization of beneficial conversion features on notes payable to $61,233 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as there was no such amortization for the three months  ended November 30, 2011;

 
·
A $79,465 increase in the amortization of deferred financing costs to $81,966 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $2,501 for the three months ended November 30, 2011 as there were several promissory notes with financing costs entered into 2012 to be amortized over the life of the related debt;

 
·
The recognition of a loss due to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities totaling $1,144,647 during the three months ended November 30, 2012; whereby, there was no such derivative liabilities during the three months ended November 30, 2011; and

 
·
A $27,763 increase in interest expense to $44,872 for the three months ended November 30, 2012, as compared to $17,109 for the three months ended November 30, 2011 as there were approximately $2.5 million in notes payable at November 30, 2012 as compared to $750,000 of note payables at November 30, 2011.
 
Net Loss.  For the three months ended November 30, 2012, we reported a net loss of $3,425,504 as compared to a net loss of $1,970,733 for the three months ended November 30, 2011, due to fluctuations in operating and other expenses as previously discussed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash and cash equivalents of $130,435 as of November 30, 2012, as compared to $376,554 as of November 30, 2011.  

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, totaled $91,799 as of November 30, 2012 as compared to $188,273 as of August 31, 2012.  The majority of accounts receivable at November 30, 2012, consists of amounts due from Navarre/Apple and several other distributors and wholesalers.

On January 5, 2011, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a $1,000,000 line of credit originally expiring January 5, 2012.  On August 24, 2011, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended by a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement to waive existing and pending defaults on loan covenants.  On February 3, 2012, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended by a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement to extend the maturity date to April 4, 2012 and to waive existing and pending defaults on loan covenants.  On April 17, 2012, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended by a Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement to extend the maturity date to October 5, 2012 and to waive existing and pending defaults on loan covenants.  On November 19, 2012, but effective as of October 5, 2012, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended by a Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement to extend the maturity date to October 5, 2013, to amend the interest rate and to waive existing and pending defaults on loan covenants.  All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.  Silicon Valley Bank maintains a security interest in all of our personal property.  The outstanding balance on our line of credit was $1,000,000 as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012.  The related accrued interest totaled $8,583 and $5,597, as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively.

On December 1, 2010, in anticipation of entering into the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and in connection with loans that he had made to us, we entered into a Financing Agreement with Greggory S. Haugen under which, among other things, Mr. Haugen agreed to personally guaranty our obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.  We are obligated to reimburse Mr. Haugen for any amounts, including interest, he pays under the guaranty.  To compensate Mr. Haugen for his guaranty, we issued a warrant to him to purchase 3,600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share and we agreed to pay him $5,000 per month for so long as he has any obligation under the guaranty or he has not been reimbursed by us for any amounts paid by him under the guaranty.  The $5,000 monthly fee is payable in cash or shares of our common stock at Mr. Haugen’s option.  Under the Financing Agreement, we initially granted Mr. Haugen board observation rights that subsequently resulted in the appointment as lead director on the board, certain registration rights, and the right to approve our use of funds drawn under the Loan and Security Agreement.  We also agreed to grant Mr. Haugen a security interest in all of our assets, junior only to the security interest of Silicon Valley Bank.  In the event of an “Actionable Violation,” which is defined to include, among other things, our failure to maintain certain minimum net income levels, our failure to maintain a specified minimum account balance, or our failure to make any payment required under the Financing Agreement or any other agreement between Mr. Haugen and us, Mr. Haugen may, among other things, market our assets (including our intellectual property) and require us to sell such assets (subject to the approval of Silicon Valley Bank) with the proceeds to be applied to all amounts then due to Silicon Valley Bank and thereafter to any amounts due by us to Mr. Haugen under the Financing Agreement or any other agreement or instrument.  In January 2011, we entered into the following agreements with Mr. Haugen: (i) a Security Agreement granting him a security interest in all of our assets to secure the reimbursement obligation under the Financing Agreement and every other debt, liability or obligation that we currently or at any time in the future owe to him and (ii) a related Intellectual Property Security Agreement granting him a security interest in all of our intellectual property.  On April 18, 2012, but effective as of January 6, 2012, we entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Guarantor Agreement to provide an additional monthly compensation fee of $20,000 per month to act as guarantor and to extend the term of the original Financing Agreement until July 6, 2012.  On August 30, 2012, we entered into a Third Amendment to Loan Guarantor Agreement to extend the terms of the original Financing Agreement and Second Amendment until January 6, 2013.  On November 19, 2012, but effective as of October 5th 2012, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Loan Guarantor to extend the terms of the original Financing Agreement and the Fourth Amendment until October 5, 2013.
    
CASH REQUIREMENTS
 
We are an early stage wireless technology company focused on the marketing and sales of the PocketFinder family of products for retail distribution.  Since our inception, we have generated significant losses.  As of November 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $48,440,466 and we expect to incur continual losses until sometime in calendar year 2013.
 
We have a limited history of operations.  To date, we have funded our operations primarily through personal loans by the founders and the private placement of our common stock and convertible notes.
 
As of November 30, 2012, we had $130,435 in cash and cash-equivalents.  Over the next several quarters we expect to invest significant amounts of funds to develop our sales and marketing programs associated with the commercialization and launch of the PocketFinder family of products.  We also expect to fund any additional inventory requirements and any necessary general overhead requirements.
  
We expect to have to obtain additional financing in the coming months for general and administrative expenses as well as purchasing and maintaining inventory, and for related purposes such as packaging, shipping, and direct sales and marketing costs.  We are not able to estimate the amount of funds necessary as it will be determined by the volume represented by purchase orders from targeted distributors and direct end users.

Our funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:
 
 
Costs involved in production and manufacturing to fill purchase orders, software and interface customization for OEM partners, and the network necessary to commence the commercialization of the PocketFinder People and PocketFinder Pets devices;

 
The costs of outsourced manufacturing;

 
The costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution, and customer service and support;

 
Our revenues, if any, from successful commercialization of the PocketFinder devices and the PocketFinder Network platform services; and

 
Other general and administrative expenses associated with running the day to day operations of our Company.

On December 10, 2012, we initiated a financing with ECPC II Capital, LLC (“ECPC”) which could net us up to $1,000,000 in capital.  As of January 14, 2013, we have not received any investments from ECPC related to this financing and future capital distributions shall be made solely at ECPC’s discretion.  Due to the uncertain nature of any future funding from ECPC, we may need to raise debt or equity capital this coming quarter.  The sale of additional equity securities may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.  The sale of debt securities could involve substantial operational and financial covenants that might inhibit our ability to follow our business plan.  Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or at all.  If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned commercialization activities, which could adversely affect our financial conditions and operating results.
 
Product Research and Development
 
We plan to continue to develop new products and to continue making enhancements to our existing products. We also continue to upgrade our device software and End-User Interface.  Since October of 2012, there have been four firmware upgrades and we are currently using device firmware version 1.4.4. We are also evaluating a satellite-only GPS platform.
  
Plant and Equipment, Employees
 
We do not plan to purchase or sell any significant equipment, plant or properties during the foreseeable future.  Our business operations are based on a strategic outsourcing model, thereby negating the need for significant amounts of plant and equipment, or significant numbers of employees.  We currently have nine employees and do not anticipate hiring any significant number of additional employees during the next 12 months but will add a few selected and strategic employees.
  
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of November 30, 2012, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures  

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of November 30, 2012, due to the material weaknesses resulting from a lack of segregation of duties in our accounting department.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 

On December 6, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against Justin Keener d/b/a JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) relating to a promissory note entered into between the Company and JMJ on March 16, 2012. The Company sought a declaratory judgment that the note – including all principal and interest purportedly owed thereunder – violates applicable usury laws and thus is unenforceable.  The Company also sought damages for alleged violations of Florida Statute 517.301.  Thereafter on December 6, 2012, JMJ filed a Complaint against the Company alleging breach of contract for two promissory notes entered into between JMJ and the Company, the first on March 16, 2012 and the second on May 1, 2012.

On December 14, 2012, the Company filed an Amended Complaint against JMJ relating to three promissory notes entered into between the Company and JMJ.  The first note was entered into on or around March 16, 2012 with a purported principal sum of $550,000. The second note was entered into on or around April 18th, 2012 with a purported principal sum of $620,000. The third note was entered into on or around May 1, 2012 with a purported principal sum of $550,000. The second note was paid off in full by the Company and the first and third notes are still outstanding.  The Company is seeking a declaratory judgment that all of the Notes violate applicable usury laws and therefore, the entire outstanding debt purportedly owed, including all principal and interest, is unenforceable.  The Company is also seeking to affirmatively recover compensatory damages for all moneys previously paid on the second note and all consequential damages arising from JMJ's prior conversions and short sales (and/or attempted short sales) of the Company’s stock. The Company is also seeking to invalidate all 1,956,522 warrants issued to JMJ pursuant to these transactions.
