ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Our Corporate History and Background

We were incorporated as iSoft International, Inc. on March 9, 2011, in the State of Nevada.  Effective March 14, 2013, under the laws of Nevada, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “iSoft International, Inc.” to “The Pulse Network, Inc.”  From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of The Pulse Network, the principal business of the Company was the development and operation of online games for social networking websites.  We partially developed our first game, titled “Curse of the Pharaohs.”  Prior to entering into a Share Exchange Agreement with The Pulse Network, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, effective March 29, 2013, we never had any revenues and had a limited operating history.
 
Reverse Acquisition of The Pulse Network

On March 29, 2013, the Pulse Network, Inc., formerly known as iSoft International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 29, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, The Pulse Network, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“The Pulse Network”), and the holders of common stock of The Pulse Network.  The holders of the common stock of The Pulse Network consisted of Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber.

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company sold 75,000,000 shares of common stock, 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 15,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in The Pulse Network.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock of the Company and requires the consent of the majority of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to change the composition of the board of directors or President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, change the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or engage in merger, sale of assets, share exchange or other reorganization of the Company. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 5 shares of common stock and equal to 100 votes of common stock of the Company.  The effect of the issuance is that The Pulse Network shareholders now hold approximately 90.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

Stephen Saber, the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, is the holder of 31,005,000 shares of common stock of the Company, 414 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 414 shares of common stock) of the Company and 6,201,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 31,005,000 shares of common stock).  Stephen Saber, therefore, controls 62,010,414 shares, or 37.5%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

Nicholas Saber, the Company’s new President, Secretary, Treasurer, as well as being a new Director, is the holder of 21,997,500 shares of common stock of the Company, 293 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 293 shares of common stock) of the Company and 4,399,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 21,997,500 shares of common stock).  Nicholas Saber, therefore, controls 43,995,293 shares, or 26.6%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.
  
John Saber, the Company’s new Chief Information Officer, as well as being a new Director, is the holder of 21,997,500 shares of common stock of the Company, 293 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 293 shares of common stock) of the Company and 4,399,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 21,997,500 shares of common stock).  John Saber, therefore, controls 43,995,293 shares, or 26.6%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber are brothers.

As a result of the share exchange with Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber, The Pulse Network is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Articles of Exchange were filed with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, effective March 29, 2013.

The share exchange transaction with The Pulse Network was treated as a reverse acquisition, with The Pulse Network as the acquiror and the Company as the acquired party. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this Form 10-K to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of The Pulse Network.

Content Marketing Platform

The Pulse Network’s social media team helps clients assess the performance of their current social channels vs. competitors, create a content roadmap to feed these channels, educate client staff via workshops, Webinars and its Pulse Networking Events, such as the Inbound Marketing Summit, and drive customer engagement and word of mouth via targeted campaigns.

The Pulse Network’s identifies and engages with influencers and community leaders, and determining each community’s nuances and protocols, tailoring client messaging and helping clients ‘speak the language’ of each channel. The goal is consistent engagement and creative delivery, aligned both with the needs of the community and business goals.

Starting with their strategy and audit, The Pulse Network offers integrated social media programs along with video-based content creation, community building and turnkey social marketing campaigns.

The Pulse-On Platform

Whether clients are building out their own community on Facebook or a gated members-only web site, content is the engine that drives discussions, community growth and conversions. Not just any content, but content that is useful and relevant, easy to share, and available where customers want it.

Increasingly, the most engaging and effective content for creating business communities and driving engagement is socially enabled video content, as 84% of those attending virtual events take some action, including visiting a vendor’s site, according to a MarketingProfs study. Yet, professional, web-ready video content has traditionally been the most expensive media to produce at the rate necessary to drive engagement.

The Pulse Network’s Video Community Development Platform helps businesses integrate content creation and/or repurposing, digital presence solutions, and the Pulse Network’s unique Content Performance Index to create and grow a client’s community and marketplace – via the power of professional video content, social media and multichannel delivery.

The Pulse-On Platform has been used to create and leverage communities for leading B2B and consumer brands.  For example, we recently launched communities for The National Fire Protection Agency and SAP.  The Pulse Network starts with an assessment of the business objectives, where the target audience lives and what they discuss, and create a content map and schedule designed to drive maximum awareness and evolve patterns of repeat engagement through listening and analytics.

The Pulse Network’s team manages all aspects of producing, syndicating and analyzing the video community content, and integrates blogs, forums, and feeds to optimize content productivity and delivery. A benchmark The Pulse Network community development platform incorporates the following elements:

·  
The Pulse Network Executive Brief 3.0 efficiently captures video content from thought leaders and builds awareness – creating a month’s worth of new content (5 segments) in just one hour of an executive’s time, saving time and making more productive content;

·  
The Pulse Network Webinar 3.0 nurtures and recruits new community members through longer format live and on demand video content, used to boost acquisition and engagement; and

·  
The Pulse Network Dashboard for listening helps clients optimize content relevancy and velocity.

The Pulse-On Platform accelerates development of the social business community through the integration of these core products, as well as program management, ongoing monitoring and listening provides feedback and visibility into what topics and key words are trending, and who the influencers are.

Regardless of the channel, content is king. Guided by a multi-layer content model and SEO best practices, The Pulse Network’s video content and tools help organizations to repurpose and monetize their content assets across digital, social and mobile channels with the reach of Enterprise Social TV. By helping clients tap the full potential of expert, curated and user-generated content, clients engage audiences on different fronts and cultivate relationships with both contributors and consumers, driving deeper engagement, fostering reuse, and lowering the overall cost of new content creation.

The Pulse Network has been a pioneer in Enterprise Social TV, and has a full web broadcast studio based in their Canton MA headquarters under the direction of a 20-year broadcast veteran. Leveraging the platform, The Pulse Network offers several video content solutions including Executive Brief 3.0, Webinar 3.0, and our Event Live 3.0 remote studio offering to capture rich content and stream live programming from a community event.

Producing the right mix of content at the optimal rate is essential to meeting specific business goals. During the initial awareness phase, which accompanies a community launch, content must be produced to build the ‘library’ and depth of community assets for maximum productivity. This requires the right mix of expert content, curated content and user-generated content according to business goals and best practices.

The Pulse Network’s community development platform is tailored to achieve the right product mix and optimal content velocity to establish and grow a client’s  target base. All content is post-produced to be consumable across communities, authentic and portable, boost SEO, recruit fans/ followers/ members, and build engagement – the foundations for a sustainable community of interest.

Pulse Networking Events and Conferences

The Pulse Network believes that it has grown to be a leader in producing engaging events and conferences around three areas: business technology for mid-sized enterprises and organizations, executive-level summits in high-growth industries, and the company’s flagship event for marketers and media professionals – the Inbound Marketing Summit, which attracted more than 1,000 attendees to Boston.

The Pulse Network programs appeal to business executives, IT decision makers, marketing professionals and technology enthusiasts, and leverage The Pulse Network’s video-powered campaign and event platform to deliver uniquely engaging experiences before, during and after each event. The Pulse Network also works with other organizations on their Event Marketing and delivers a full suite of Event Technology Solutions.
 
Event Database Platform

Created by the team that developed the industry-leading Exgenex (a company formerly operated by Nick Saber and John Saber) registration system, The Pulse Event Database Platform was built from the ground up by meeting planners, for meeting planners. In fact, the Pulse Network social event software leadership team and advisors  have over 50 years of combined tradeshow experience. In addition, the single platform approach allows a client to run their entire suite of events, both domestic and international, produced in English or foreign languages in the same master database.

The Pulse Network pioneered onsite self registration, web-based registration and reporting. In addition, The Pulse Network was a first to provide onsite electronic badge printing (eBadge), and live replication between onsite registration and back-office systems.

Other The Pulse Network capabilities include full event management support – including show production and sponsorship sales, a comprehensive speaker management system, with the ability to manage complete speaker processing through the system, from call for papers, to ranking proposals and managing sessions, and CEU session tracking and reporting, with full scheduling / tracking of CEU credits, online access for attendees, and email updates.

Overview of The Pulse Network

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, The Pulse Network was incorporated on December 24, 2008, in Massachusetts. The business of The Pulse Network was originally developed at Exgenex, Inc., a New York corporation (“Exgenex”), formed in April 2002. Exgenex changed its name to “CrossTech Group, Inc.” (“CrossTech New York”) in February 2008. On December 24, 2008, The Pulse Network was formed in Massachusetts under the name of “CrossTech Group, Inc.”, merged (as the surviving corporation) with CrossTech New York on December 31, 2009, and changed its name to “The Pulse Network Inc.” on June 2, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. It based assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues

During 2013 and 2012 the Company generated revenues from 3 primary business segments, being:

Revenues earned from usage of the Pulse Network Platform for management and support of client events or conferences.

Revenues paid by sponsors and attendees for conferences hosted by the Company.

Revenues earned by providing ongoing development and support for client content and digital marketing programs.

In 2011, the Company was also providing social media marketing agency services, which were discontinued during 2012.

Total revenues for The Pulse Network in 2013 resulted in a decrease of 9.6% to $3,757,471, from $4,157,757 in 2012.  The decrease is mainly attributed to $399,997 in revenue lost due to canceled programs.

Cost of revenues for 2013 increased by 13.3% to $1,396,421 from $1,231,897 in 2012. The increase for 2013 is mainly attributable to increased cost incurred for venues, accomodations and food in 2013 compared to 2012.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and Marketing expenses for 2013 decreased by 30.4% to $456,115, this was down from $655,851 for 2012. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses is attributable to a decrease in Company production of online content and programs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for 2013 increased by 37.5% to $3,127,651, up from the amount $2,274,193 for 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in marketing and officers payroll which increased $744,000.   General and administrative expenses include $127,337 of legal and audit fees for 2013 compared to $49,868 for 2012.  The company moved to a cloud based service in 2013 for its servers which added an additional $57,860 in expenses for 2013 General and administrative expenses also have $89,169 of property, plant and equipment depreciation for 2013 compared to $80,381 for 2012.
 
Net Loss Attributable to the Company

The net loss attributable to the Company for 2013 was $1,280,422 compared to $37,343 for 2012. The net loss was mainly attributable to the transitioning of the business from social media agency services to software based online video development and related corporate marketing along with the cancelation of programs.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s total current assets were $356,548 and our total current liabilities were $2,237,539. On March 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,060,522.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 the Company financed its operations with bank debt totaling $480,000, advances from stockholders of $464,647 and delayed payments to certain vendors as evidenced by the increase in accrued liabilities at March 31, 2013 compared to 2012 of $301,346.

As a result, the Company had negative working capital of $1,880,991 on March 31, 2013 compared with negative working capital of $995,361 on March 31, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2013 were $31,670, an increase of $20,943 from March 31, 2012.

Operating activities used cash of $942,784 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 compared to a net increase in cash of $136,467 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

The company’s sole investing activity for March 31, 2013 consisted of purchases of capital equipment of $37,154 which were financed through capital lease arrangements.

The sole investing activity in the comparable period ended March 31, 2012 was the purchase of $53,446 of equipment.

Financing activities provided cash of $963,727 in the period ended 31, 2013, compared to a use of cash totaling $137,517 in the period ended March 31, 2012.

2013 financing activities include $464,647 of primary shareholder advances, a $150,000 secured bank line and $350,000 bank loan.

The shareholder advances are unsecured, bear no interest and are to be repaid out of Company cash flow.

The bank line is secured by a first charge over the Company’s assets and guaranteed by the Company’s shareholders, bears interest at 4.5% and matures within 12 months from the date of the advance.

The bank loan is secured by a first charge over the Company’s assets and guaranteed by the Company’s shareholders, bears interest at 5% and matures within 36 months from the date of the advance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that would be expected to be reasonably likely to have a future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Outlook

The Company believes that its future success will depend upon its ability to enhance and grow its business. The Company’s current anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow are subject to many uncertainties and cannot be assured. In order to have sufficient cash to meet anticipated requirements for the next twelve months, the Company requires additional financing. The inability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to obtain required additional funds could require the Company to curtail its operations. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain the financing necessary to support its operations, it may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, the Company may be forced to cease operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Board of Directors
The Pulse Network, Inc.
437 Turnpike St
Canton, Massachusetts 02021

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Pulse Network, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Pulse Network, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

On March 29, 2013, the Pulse Network, Inc., formerly known as iSoft International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 29, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, The Pulse Network, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“The Pulse Network”), and the holders of common stock of The Pulse Network.  The holders of the common stock of The Pulse Network consisted of Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of 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 amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Cash - The Company maintains its cash balances in one financial institution.  The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  Bank deposits at times may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable represent balances due from customers. Credit risk associated with these balances is evaluated by management relative to financial condition and past payment experience.  Balances that remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years.  Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. The impairment of long-lived assets requires judgments and estimates. If circumstances change, such estimates could also change.

2.  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Concentrations of Sales to Certain Customers – During 2013 the Company had sales to one customer that accounted for approximately 13% of total revenue during 2013.  Accounts receivable from three customers accounted for approximately 45% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2013.
 
Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenue consists principally of event platform revenue derived from management of customer events and recognized at the conclusion of the event; event sponsor revenue derived from sponsors of events hosted by the Company and recognized at the conclusion of the event; and content marketing platform and other revenue are derived from providing ongoing solutions related to customer website content and are recognized as services are provided over the life of the contract.
 
Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received for future events in advance of revenue recognition. The Company recognizes these billings and payments as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria are met.
 
Income Taxes – Through March 31, 2013 the Company had elected to be treated as an S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes whereby its income or losses are passed through to its stockholders. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal income taxes in these financial statements. The Company is liable in Massachusetts for state corporate taxes based upon tangible assets
 
The Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  The Company’ policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and does not anticipate having any unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.  The Company is subject to audit by the IRS for tax periods commencing January 1, 2009.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report.  Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2013.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

As of March 31, 2013, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s President, who is also our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer, and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

·  
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

·  
Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

·  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.

In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, completed by Stephen Saber, our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and also our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer, Mr. Saber concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.

This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President in connection with the review of our financial statements as of March 31, 2013.

 
22

 
 
Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

TERM OF OFFICE

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.  The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members.  Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
 
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Our board of directors is currently composed of three members, none of whom qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.

SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
 
Other than our officers and directors, we currently have no other significant employees.


 
24

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors.  The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee.  The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees.  Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
 
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended March 31, 2013, our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table lists, as of March 31, 2013, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

The percentages below are calculated based on 3,650,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2013.  We do not have any outstanding warrant, options or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On March 29, 2013, the Company, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 29, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, The Pulse Network, and the holders of common stock of The Pulse Network.  The holders of the common stock of The Pulse Network consisted of Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber.

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company sold 75,000,000 shares of common stock, 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 15,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in The Pulse Network.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock of the Company and requires the consent of the majority of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to change the composition of the board of directors or President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, change the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or engage in merger, sale of assets, share exchange or other reorganization of the Company. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 5 shares of common stock and equal to 100 votes of common stock of the Company.  The effect of the issuance is that The Pulse Network shareholders now hold approximately 90.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. 

Stephen Saber, the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, is the holder of 31,005,000 shares of common stock of the Company, 414 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 414 shares of common stock) of the Company and 6,201,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 31,005,000 shares of common stock).  Stephen Saber, therefore, controls 62,010,414 shares, or 37.5%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

Nicholas Saber, the Company’s new President, Secretary, Treasurer, as well as being a new Director, is the holder of 21,997,500 shares of common stock of the Company, 293 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 293 shares of common stock) of the Company and 4,399,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 21,997,500 shares of common stock).  Nicholas Saber, therefore, controls 43,995,293 shares, or 26.6%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.
  
John Saber, the Company’s new Chief Information Officer, as well as being a new Director, is the holder of 21,997,500 shares of common stock of the Company, 293 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 293 shares of common stock) of the Company and 4,399,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 21,997,500 shares of common stock).  John Saber, therefore, controls 43,995,293 shares, or 26.6%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber are brothers.

As a result of the share exchange with Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber, The Pulse Network is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Articles of Exchange were filed with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, effective March 29, 2013.

In connection with the Company’s March 29, 2013 share exchange with The Pulse network, the Company entered into five-year employment agreements with its three new officers and directors:  Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber, all of whom were the sole stockholders of The Pulse Network immediately prior to the share exchange.

The individual employment agreements, dated March 29, 2013, provide for an initial annual base salary, commencing April 1, 2013, of $350,000 for Stephen Saber, $275,000 for Nicholas Saber and $225,000 John Saber.  Each salary will increase by 7% on April 1 of each year, beginning in 2014, based on the salary due in the year prior to each such 7% increase.  The agreements also provide for (i) a bonus of cash compensation equal to 1.5% of all monthly net revenues of the Company and The Pulse Network, (ii) the Company to pay for executive’s costs related to executive’s reasonable monthly cell phone and other mobile

Internet costs, home office Internet costs, (iii) the Company to pay for executive’s car and commuting costs, not to exceed $1,100 per month, and club membership costs, payable not later than 10 days after the end of each month, and (iv) a severance payment for each executive equal to his then current annual base salary rate upon the termination of the executive’s employment by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason or in the event of a change in control.  The employment agreements also entitle the executives to participate in our employee benefit programs and provide for other customary benefits.  In addition, each employment agreement provides compensation pursuant periodic grants of stock options thereafter as recommended by our board of directors (no options have been granted to any executive as of the date of this Form 10-K).  Finally, the employment agreements prohibit the executives from engaging in certain activities which compete with the Company, seek to recruit its employees or disclose any of its trade secrets or otherwise confidential information.

We operate from leased space, 50% of which is beneficially owned by Stephen Saber and Nicholas Saber, two of our officers and directors.  The Company leases its office space under a non-cancelable lease agreement with a related party which expires August 1, 2015.  Future minimum rent payment under this agreement are $72, 369 for each of the years ending March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and $24,123 for the year ending March 31, 2016. Total rent expense, including common area, maintenance, taxes, insurance and utilities, was $130,426 and $127,163 for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
