Organization and Going Concern

 

Organization

 

Coupon Express, Inc. (“CE” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of Nevada in June, 1991. CE provides innovative interactive customer communications systems and applications that support targeted marketing programs with unique point-of-purchase (POP) services and information that serve shoppers and distributors while building loyalty and revenue for the Company’s primary clients. Through our proprietary kiosks, we provide in-store customized couponing, in multiple languages, for immediate impact in regional, independent retailers in the grocery and convenience store industries, enabling retailers to quickly determine ideal price-points for new products and mitigate losses from hard-to-sell items.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuation of operations, the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, and do not reflect any adjustments that might result from our ability to being unable to continue as a going concern.  At January 31, 2013, we had total assets of $475,731 and liabilities of $876,677. Our management is aware that we need to raise additional capital not only to meet our financial obligations, but also to expand our business.  These factors cumulatively indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Accounting Principles

  

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.


Financial Statement Presentation

 

We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Loss per Common Share

   

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes 243,189,191 and 142,107,075 warrants and options outstanding as of January 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, since their effect is anti-dilutive.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income Taxes

 

In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may file income tax returns in various U.S. state and local jurisdictions.  The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. This policy also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different entities.  It must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption and the cumulative effect, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to stockholder's equity as of November 1, 2012.

 

Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that the adoption of this policy did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption. However, management's conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

Interest and Penalty Recognition on Unrecognized Tax Benefits

 

We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No interest expense or penalties have been recognized for the three months ended January 31, 2013.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  FASB ASC Topic 718 requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).  That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.  The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available).  If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value-Definition and Hierarchy

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches.  In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations, as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.  Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities.  Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.  To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.

 

Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined.

 

Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure.  Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.  The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation.  In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities.  This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Valuation Techniques

 

We value investments in securities that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market at their last sales price as of the last business day of the year.  

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset of 5 years.  

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 "Property, Plant, and Equipment," the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts.  

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair values of the Company's assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments," approximate their carrying amounts presented in the accompanying balance sheets at January 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

 

Revenue Recognition.

 

Online advertising revenue derived from the kiosks and signage will be recognized as revenue as they are displayed. The Company’s current revenue models include a fixed fee plus click charge and a fixed price per store model.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as their related disclosures.  Such estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


There are no recent pronouncements that have a material effect on the Company.

Bridge Loans

 

 In February and March 2007, we entered into notes (“Bridge Notes”) with several unrelated parties totaling approximately $325,000.  The Bridge Notes were originally due on November 11, 2009 with an interest rate of 12% per annum.


In August 2007, we entered into exchange agreements with the holders of $300,000 of the Bridge Notes, wherein the notes were convertable into 3,000,000 shares of our common stock which were converted in fiscal 2011. The remaining $25,000 note was converted into 208,333 shares of common stock in December 2008.

On July 2, 2010, the New Bridge Notes were amended to extend the due date to December 1, 2010. The New Bridge Notes were convertible at any time at a conversion price equal to the per share price of a new issuance. In connection with the New Bridge Notes, we issued warrants to purchase 470,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $.15 and warrants to purchase 470,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.25, which were reduced to $.05 and $.15, respectively, by the July 2, 2010 Amendment to the New Bridge Notes.

 In connection with the issuance of the warrants, we reflected a value for the warrants totaling $47,112; no value adjustment was reflected for the price reduction, as the value change was not material. The fair value of the warrant grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 15%, risk free interest rate of 4.86%; and expected lives of 5 years. On December 1, 2010, we amended the New Bridge Notes to change the warrant exercise price to $.05. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, we issued 3,047,800 shares of common stock in connection with the New Bridge Note amendments. During the year ended October 31, 2011, we issued 43,097,752 shares of common stock in payment of accrued interest and $420,000 of principal.

In connection with the Round D Notes, we also issued warrants to purchase 9,445,744 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.15 per share. The warrants may be exercisable at any time for a period of 5 years. In connection with the issuance of the warrants, we have reflected a value for the warrants totaling $549,011.

During the fiscal years ending October 31, 2010 and 2011 we issued 48,372,496 and 13,606,592 shares of common stock respectively in payment of accrued interest and principal. In fiscal 2012, $646,000 of the remaining $711,000 outstanding Round D Notes were converted into 6,960,000 shares of common stock.

Round G Loans

 

Between May and October 2010, we entered into a series of convertible notes aggregating $485,000. The notes were originally due one year from the date of issuance at an interest rate of 10% per annum. The interest is payable in cash or common shares at our discretion. The notes were convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $.035 per share. In connection with the notes, we issued five year warrants to purchase 13,857,143 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.05 per share. As of October 31, 2010, we issued 2,900,157 shares of common stock in payment of accrued interest and principal.

In October 2011 we issued 23,568,072 shares in payment of accrued interest and principal with the final $100,000 repaid to the remaining outstanding note holder in December 2011.

 

For all of the debt financing describe above, the Company has the option to either pay the interest due in cash or in shares of our common stock. During the year ended October 2012 the company offered its outstanding warrant holders ( for all rounds prior to 2011) to extend the due date of their warrants in exchange for a lower price.

Cumulative Convertible Senior Notes

 

In October 2011, May 2012, July 2012 and December 2012 we completed a private placement of $3,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Cumulative Convertible Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) and Warrants to certain investors, that included the Company’s existing Series A Preferred Stockholders.  In August 2012, the Senior Notes were converted into 110.42 shares of Preferred Stock.  In December 2012, we issued an additional 9.58 shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants for proceeds of $239,500.  .


The shares of Preferred Stock bear a cumulative dividend of 7% per annum.  Upon liquidation, and upon an acquisition of the Company, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the amount invested plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, or the amount the holders of Preferred Stock would receive had they converted the Preferred Stock to Common Stock immediately prior to such event.  Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.  The Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Stock provides that without the consent of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not:


1.

The Warrants are exercisable until 2016 and 2017 at a price of $.04 per share (subject to certain adjustments) and entitle the holder to purchase 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each $25,000 of principal amount of Senior Notes.  As of October 31, 2012 the Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 shares of common stock. The investors have entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement which among other things, provides for Board representation, registration rights, and certain provisions regarding future sales of securities by the Company.

 

In prior rounds of financing, described in Note 5 Debt, the Company issued certain warrants, rights convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock (collectively the “Derivative Securities”). The Derivative Securities contain certain anti-dilution provisions, which provide for adjustment of the conversion price, exercise price or number of shares issuable, upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company, obtained from most of the holders of the unexpired Derivative Securities, a waiver, except in the case of any capital reorganization, split, combination or subdivision or reclassification, of any anti-dilution adjustments, it may have with respect to the Derivative Securities.

Commitments

 

Operating Leases

 

Real Estate

Until November 30, 2011 we leased 2,061 square feet of office space in Colorado for $3,200 per month. In December 2011 we moved into shared office space and are subletting for $250 per month in a month to month arrangement. In December 2011, this shared office was closed and the activities were moved and consolidated to the South Carolina office. In November 2011 we leased additional space in South Carolina for our IT and Customer Service department. The lease provides for rent of $1,000 per month plus common area charges until November 2012. In November 2012 the company renewed the lease for an additional 3 years with the first year monthly rent amounting to $1,130 plus common area charges. Our New York headquarters lease is month to month. The total rent expense for these operating leases were approximately $29,414 and $30,918 for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Equipment


In June 2011 the Company entered into a Master Leasing Agreement with Yellow Box Leasing LLC.  The terms of the agreement provide up to $1.25 million in equipment lease financing for Coupon Express Kiosks. The lease provides for the creation of sub-leases for each 25 Kiosks ordered. In September 2011 and in March 2012 the Company received 50 new Kiosks with a value of $ 250,000.   Terms of this sub-lease provide for payments of $140/month for each Kiosk over 3 years.

Legal


The Company is involved in a dispute over a services contract.  S.O.S. Resources (“SOS”) and its president claim that SOS fully performed under an agreement with the Company and is entitled to receive 3,110,000 shares of our registered common stock, and later asserted that they would seek a sum of $1,191,600 from the Company.  The Company believes that SOS and its president did not perform under the contract, and intends to vigorously defend itself against such claim as well as file a claim for fraud against SOS and its president.  The Company believes that the suit filed by SOS and its president is without merit; however, we will have to pay costs associated with arbitrating this claim.


The Company has settled an action commenced by the law firm Cozen O’Connor seeking payment of approximately $195,000 in legal fees for services allegedly rendered by the firm in 2007. The Company has agreed to remit the sum of $3,000 per month for thirty (30) months, commencing on August 1, 2012 with a final payment of $114,670.66 due on January 1, 2015.


An action has been commenced against the Company seeking legal fees in the sum of approximately $47,700 allegedly incurred in connection with a Settlement Agreement dated April 13, 2009. The Company has settled this matter by agreeing to pay the total sum of $35,000, payable, (i) $15,000 upon the execution of a settlement agreement; (ii) $10,000 on the 120th day following the execution of the settlement agreement, and (iii) $10,000 following the 240th day of the settlement agreement.

7.  Income Taxes

 

We have not filed federal or state tax returns for the years ended October 31, 2004 - 2012.  We did not believe that we owed material federal or state taxes for these fiscal years as a result of our operating losses. At January 31, 2013, we had approximately $24 million of net operating losses (“NOL”) carryforwards for federal and state income purposes.  These losses are available for future years and expire through 2032. Utilization of these losses may be severely or completely limited if we undergo an ownership change pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

 

Generally accepted accounting principles requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of our history of operating losses, management has provided a valuation allowance equal to its net deferred tax assets.


8.  Subsequent Event

 

On March 11, 2013 the Company announced the signing of a Kiosk leasing facility with Premium Leasing, LLC of Vestal, New York. The terms of the lease agreement is for 60 months and includes a twenty five (25%) percent down payment for each Kiosk leased. The current cost of each Kiosk is $5,500. The Company will pay the 25% down payment or $1,375 and the remaining seventy-five (75%) balance shall be paid in monthly installments of $85.82 including interest at nine percent (9%) per annum. As security for each lease, the Company has agreed to issue Premium Leasing its common stock equal to the leased value of kiosks under lease. The common stock will be held in escrow as defined in the agreement. In addition, the company has also provided Premium Leasing with the right to purchase five million warrants of the company’s common stock at a price between two and four cents until March 2018.

Introduction


Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to facilitate an understanding of our business and results of operations. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report. MD&A consists of the following sections:


Overview


 We are a business services corporation headquartered in New York, New York. We aim to provide innovative interactive customer communications systems and applications that support targeted marketing programs with unique point-of-purchase (POP) services and information that serve shoppers and distributors while building loyalty and revenue for the our primary clients. Through our proprietary Coupon Express kiosks and services, we provide in-store customized couponing, in multiple languages, for immediate impact in regional, independent retailers in the grocery and convenience store industries by enabling retailers to quickly determine ideal price-points for new products and mitigate losses from hard-to-sell items. Our kiosks provide consumers with information and functionality needed to redeem coupons for obtaining immediate discounts in store. Digital signage screens attached to the kiosks provide advertising opportunities for both national and local advertisers.


The kiosks are primarily placed in supermarkets. The kiosks display promoted products on the digital screen as well as providing the ability to redeem coupons in order to purchase the products at a discounted rate. The system tracks the number of dispensed coupons and calculates the rebates that the store is due. The upper screen can be used as a tool to advertise store promotions and it has an interface allowing the local store to display and show special promotions. It receives its information from central servers that distributes the data to specific locations as required. The loyalty enrollment program and dispensing of loyalty cards is designed to automate the manual function provided by the store employees and allow the system to gather information on specific purchase trends.

Results of Operations


For the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company reported revenues of $35,956 and $5,640 respectively, an increase of $30,316 (537 %), respectively. Our revenues for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 were derived exclusively from advertising revenues.


The Company’s net loss applicable to common stock   for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 was $399,793 and $501,170 respectively, a decrease of $101,370 (20.2 %). The details of the increase in net loss are discussed below.


Selling and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, $29,061 and $48,547 respectively. The increase in selling expenses is attributable to the installation and deployment of additional kiosks during the three months ended January 31, 2013.


The increase in administrative expenses is attributable to the recognition of the non-cash cost of granting options and warrants to its chief executive and chief financial officer of $24,983 and increases in other expenses.


Interest expense and preferred dividends declared on a combined basis decreased $148,669 as a result of the conversion of the convertible notes to common and preferred stock. The preferred stock accrues a dividend at the same rate of interest as the cumulative convertible notes.

 

Our revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2013 were derived exclusively from advertising revenue. Our losses from operations for the three month ended January 31, 2013 were attributable to our inability to achieve significant revenues while incurring material working capital costs, including costs of development and deploying our kiosks.


The Company’s current revenue models include a fixed fee plus click charge and a fixed price per store model. Management believes that future deployments may incorporate one or both of these models. We anticipate that as more kiosks are installed throughout the United States, advertisers/manufacturers will be able to reach a critical mass of consumers that should result in generating additional advertising revenue from the kiosks. As of January 31, 2013, we had 124 kiosks installed, compared to 5 kiosks as of January 31, 2012, which have generated limited revenue to date. The cost to have each kiosk manufactured is approximately $5,000, which will either be financed from cash on hand or a sale leaseback program. Our monthly cash requirements are approximately $85,000 at the current rate of kiosk installments. Our cash on hand is expected to sustain operations for the next 30 days, at which time the Company will require additional capital to support its operations. We anticipate that the Company will need to raise additional capital of up to $1,500,000 in order to fund operations, including the purchase of additional kiosks, in the next 12 months.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Cash Flows


Cash used in operations for the three months ended January 31, 2013and 2012 was approximately $305,094 and $383,276, respectively, a decrease of approximately $78,182 (20.4%).  Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 were approximately $- 0 - and $155,000, respectively, a decrease of $155,000. Cash flows provided by or (used in) financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $352,000, and $(223,000), respectively, an increase in cash flows provided by of approximately $575,000.


In the event we do not generate sufficient funds from revenues or financing through the issuance of our common stock or from debt financing, we may unable to fully implement our business plan and pay our obligations as they became due, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects.


On December 3, 2012, the Company issued 9.58 additional Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and Warrants (the “2012 Warrants”) to purchase 11,975,000 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to a Cumulative Convertible Senior Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of May 31, 2012 (the “2012 Purchase Agreement”) for proceeds of $239,500. The shares of Preferred Stock bear a cumulative dividend of 7% per annum. Upon liquidation, and upon an acquisition of the Company, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the amount invested plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, and (ii) the amount the holders of Preferred Stock, would receive had they converted the Preferred Stock to Common Stock immediately prior to such event. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.

Cash and cash equivalents


 We had cash and cash equivalents of $79,789 as of January 31, 2013.

Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.


Critical Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Our estimates are based on assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We will evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis and make changes as experience develops or as we become aware of new information. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

     


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
