Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations and Business Organization

 

Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (“Next 1” or the “Company”) is engaged in two lines of business: travel and real estate. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Next 1 Network (formerly RRTV Network and Resort & Residence TV), it operates its travel division, and through its majority owned subsidiary, RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“RealBiz Media” formerly Next One Realty), it operates its real estate division. The Company is positioning itself to emerge as a multi revenue stream “Next Generation” media-company, representing the convergence of TV, Mobile devices and the Internet by providing multiple platform dynamics for interactivity on TV, Video On Demand (VOD) and web solutions. The Company, through its subsidiaries has worked with multiple distributors beta testing its platforms as part of its roll out of TV programming and VOD Networks. The list includes Comcast, Cox, Time Warner and Direct TV.

 

Next 1 Network is engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the travel industry.  Next 1 Network has two divisions: its linear TV networks and travel Video on Demand. It currently generates revenue from advertising revenues and commissions.  Through linear TV networks, the Next 1 Network derives revenue from traditional advertising, interactive ads, sponsorships, paid programming, travel commissions and referral fees. Through Travel Video on Demand, the Next 1 Network derives revenue from monthly sponsorship packages, pre-roll advertising, travel commissions and referral fees, acceleration of our other company owned travel entities (Maupintours, Next Trip, Extraordinary Vacations and Trip Professionals).

 

RealBiz Media is engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. RealBiz Media currently generate revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees. RealBiz has positioned itself in the following three areas summarized here and explained in more detail below:

 

1.Real Estate Video on Demand Channel – We earn fees from pre-roll/post-roll advertising, banner ads and cross-market advertising promotions. We charge an $89 listing and marketing fee, and earn revenue from web-based and mobile advertising.

 

2.Website and Mobile Applications – We are developing a real estate web portal. This site is expected to be unique to the world of real estate search sites on multiple levels, from a consumer perspective the user experience is being designed to be completely visual and video centric, secondly, the site will provide local neighborhood information and allow for social interaction between home seekers and current residents who can provide an unbiased view of the selected neighborhood, and the content on the site will focus on the entire home ownership lifecycle from purchase through maintenance to home sale therefore giving the site a much deeper and more loyal audience over time.

 

3.Agent to Agent Interaction-From an industry perspective we believe the site will be revolutionary because it includes an agent only platform that is being designed to allow for agent to agent interaction, and “App Store” for relevant video content, community events, discount coupons, industry news and agent share programs. This site will completely empower the agent with content and assets that they can use to pursue prospects and generate leads at a fraction of the cost they’re currently paying. This agent only site will interact with our Microvideo App (MVA) platform. The MVA was developed and implemented to allow agents to access specific video based product strategies that are designed specifically to increase the SEO rank and traffic credit to real estate franchise systems and/or their brokers. This solution gives those franchises and brokers a much needed tool to lower their cost of prospect acquisition.

 

Effective May 22, 2012, the Company effected a 1-for-500 reverse stock split, which reduced the number of issued and outstanding shares from 1,848,014,287 to 3,696,029 shares. The consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 9, 2012, our Company, Next 1 Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Next 1”) and RealBiz Media Group, Inc., formerly known as Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 4, 2012 (the “Exchange Agreement”). Under the Exchange Agreement, our Company exchanged with Webdigs all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Next 1 (“Attaché”). Attaché owns approximately 85% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc., which is the parent corporation of RealBiz360, Inc. (“RealBiz”). RealBiz is a real estate media services company whose proprietary video processing technology provides home virtual tours to the real estate industry. In exchange for our Attaché shares, our Company received 93 million shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Webdigs Series A Stock”). The exchange of Attaché shares in exchange for Webdigs Series A Stock is referred to as the “Exchange Transaction.”

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These consolidated financial statements have not been audited.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended February 28, 2013, filed with the SEC on June 13, 2013 and as amended on July 1, 2013. The financial data for the interim periods presented may not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company owns an 85 % interest in Realbiz Holdings, Inc. and a 66% interest in Realbiz Media and these entities’ accounts are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements because we have control over operating and financial policies. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, and accordingly the Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity on its unaudited consolidated balance sheets and reports noncontrolling interest net loss under the heading “Net loss applicable to noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiary” in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets, stock based compensation, accrued expenses and derivative liabilities. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, the actual amounts of such estimates, when known, will vary from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of 90 days or less.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables, and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.

 

Property and Equipment

 

All expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset benefits the Company for a period of more than one year. Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after being placed in service. The estimated useful life of computer equipment is 3 years but as of November 30, 2013, it has not been placed in service and there is no depreciation expense recorded. When equipment is retired, sold or impaired, the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. As of November 30, 2013, the Company did not impair any long-lived assets.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.

 

Management placed the RRTV.com website into service during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period. The Company has now launched two additional websites, Maupintour.com and Nexttrip.com, during June 2013, subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

1.Significant underperformance to historical or projected future operating results;
2.Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicator of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flow, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company evaluated the remaining useful life of the intangibles and did not record an impairment of intangible assets during the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Intellectual properties that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $1,070,916 and $51,075 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as freestanding warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include the following:

 

   November 30,
2013
 
Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   216,196,488 
Series B convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   312,250 
Series C convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   36,000 
Series D convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   863,645 
Warrants to purchase common stock issued, outstanding and exercisable   8,286,759 
Stock options issued, outstanding and exercisable   4,050 
Shares on convertible promissory notes   26,461,513 
    252,163,705 

 

Revenue recognition

 

Travel

 

Gross travel tour revenues represent the total retail value of transactions booked for both agency and merchant transactions recorded at the time of booking, reflecting the total price due for travel by travelers, including taxes, fees and other charges, and are generally reduced for cancellations and refunds. We also generate revenue from paid cruise ship bookings in the form of commissions. Commission revenue is recognized at the date the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Advertising

 

We recognize advertising revenues in the period in which the advertisement is displayed, if evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. If fixed-fee advertising is displayed over a term greater than one month, revenues are recognized ratably over the period as described below. The majority of insertion orders have terms that begin and end in a quarterly reporting period. In the cases where at the end of a quarterly reporting period the term of an insertion order is not complete, the Company recognizes revenue for the period by pro-rating the total arrangement fee to revenue and deferred revenue based on a measure of proportionate performance of its obligation under the insertion order. The Company measures proportionate performance by the number of placements delivered and undelivered as of the reporting date. The Company uses prices stated on its internal rate card for measuring the value of delivered and undelivered placements. Fees for variable-fee advertising arrangements are recognized based on the number of impressions displayed or clicks delivered during the period.

 

Under these policies, no revenue is recognized unless persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is deemed reasonably assured. The Company considers an insertion order signed by the client or its agency to be evidence of an arrangement.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues includes costs directly attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as amounts paid for airlines, hotels, excursions, broadcast carriage fees, costs to produce television content, sales commissions to business partners, industry conferences and public relations costs.

 

Sales and Promotion

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, salary expenses associated with sales and marketing staff, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses. The goal of our advertising is to acquire new subscribers for our e-mail products, increase the traffic to our Web sites, and increase brand awareness.

 

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Advertising expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 was $226,105 and $57,459.

 

Share Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. See footnote 18 for fair value measurements.

 

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is typically the applicable local currency. The translation from the respective foreign currencies to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.

 

Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. We recognized net foreign exchange gains of $4,417and $-0- for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, the accumulated comprehensive loss was $54,517 and $-0-, respectively.

 

Reclassifications

 

The Company reclassified certain amounts previously reported in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 to conform to the classifications used in the period ended November 30, 2013. Such reclassifications have no effect on the reported net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, “ Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This amendment is intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived assets other than goodwill for impairment by providing entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2014, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 has not had a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 ("ASU 2012-04"). The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 has not had a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCT). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments required disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosure that provides additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 201-02 has not had a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10 Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815, provides for the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, effective for swaps entered into after July 17, 2013. This release allows the use of the overnight index swap rate as an additional benchmark for hedge accounting treatment. Management has determined that the application of this standard will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company

 

In July 2013, the FAS issued ASU 2013-11 Income Taxes Topic, Provides for the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists, effective for fiscal years beginning after 12-15-13. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if available and a company has the intent and ability to use for such purpose. Management has determined that the application of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 - Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $88,234,261 and a working capital deficit of $13,895,972 at November 30, 2013, net losses for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 of $18,224,898 and cash used in operations during the nine months ended November 30, 2013 of $3,567,694. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the growth has yet to achieve significant levels to fully support its daily operations.

 

Management’s plans with regard to this going concern are as follows: The Company will continue to raise funds with third parties by way of a public or private offering. Management and members of the Board are working aggressively to increase the viewership of our products by promoting it across other mediums which will increase value to advertisers and result in higher advertising rates and revenues.

 

While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate greater revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Notes Receivable

 

On August 23, 2013, the Company advanced $20,000 to a non-related third party and signed a 6% promissory note with a maturity date of September 30, 2013. The entire principal amount plus $128 of accrued interest was received and the note fully satisfied on October 1, 2013.

 

Note 4 – Property and Equipment

 

As of November 30, 2013, the Company recorded the purchase of $43,777 of computer equipment which has not been placed into service. Any property and equipment previously recorded in prior fiscal years, was fully impaired and written off. Therefore, there was no depreciation expense recorded for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012.

Note 5 – Website Development Costs and Intangible Assets

 

The following table sets forth the intangible assets, both acquired and developed, including accumulated amortization:

 

   November 30, 2013
   Remaining      Accumulated   Net Carrying 
   Useful Life  Cost   Amortization   Value 
                
Sales/Marketing Agreement  2.6 years  $4,796,178   $1,568,919   $3,227,259 
Website development costs  2.5 years   756,980    728,737    28,243 
Website development costs (not placed in service)  3.0 years   502,143    -0-    502,143 
      $6,055,301   $2,297,656   $3,757,645 

 

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives, estimated to be 4 years, except for the web site, which is 3 years. Amortization expense related to website development costs and intangible assets was $1,070,916 and $51,075 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Note 6 – Acquisitions

 

On October 3, 2012, the Company entered a securities exchange agreement and exercised the option purchase agreement to purchase 664.1 common shares of RealBiz Holdings, Inc. The Company applied $300,000 of cash, issued a Series D Preferred Stock subscription agreement for 380,000 shares and agreed to a $50,000 thirty day (30) day post-closing final buyout bringing the total value of the agreement to $2,250,000.

 

The Company accounted for the acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations". The Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and RealBiz Holdings, Inc. is the acquired Company. Accordingly, the Company applied pushdown accounting and adjusted to fair value all of the assets and liabilities directly on the financial statements of the subsidiary, RealBiz Holdings, Inc.

 

The net purchase price, including acquisition costs paid by the Company, was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the records of the Company as follows:

Note 6 – Acquisitions (continued)

 

On October 9, 2012, Next 1 and RealBiz Media, formerly known as Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 4, 2012 (the “Exchange Agreement”). Under the Exchange Agreement, our Company received all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Next 1 (“Attaché”). Attaché in turn owns approximately 85% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc., which is the parent corporation of RealBiz360, Inc. (“RealBiz”). RealBiz is a real estate media services company whose proprietary video processing technology has made it one of the leaders in providing home virtual tours to the real estate industry. In exchange for our Attaché shares, the Company received 93 million shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (”Webdigs Series A Stock”).

Note 8 – Notes Payable

 

On May 28, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement by and among the Company and Televisual Media, a Colorado limited liability company, TV Ad Works, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, TV Net Works, a Colorado limited liability company, TV iWorks, a Colorado limited liability and Mr. Gary Turner and Mrs. Staci Turner, individuals residing in the State of Colorado (individually and collectively “TVMW,” and together with the Company, the “Parties”), in order to resolve certain disputed claims regarding the service agreements referred to above. The final settlement agreement stipulates that any party shall not construe the settlement as an admission or denial of liability hereto.

 

On March 23, 2011, the Company entered into a debt purchase agreement whereby $65,000 of certain aged debt evidenced by a Settlement Agreement dated May 28, 2010 for $1,000,000 with a remaining balance of $815,000, was purchased by a non-related third party investor. As part of the agreement, the Company received $65,000 in consideration for issuing a 6-month, 21% convertible promissory note, with a face value of $68,500, maturing on September 23, 2011. On August 31, 2011, the noteholder entered into a wrap around agreement to assign $485,000 of its debt to investors and immediately assigned $50,000 of its principal to a non-related third party investor and the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note for the same value. On September 6, 2011, the Company re-negotiated the settlement agreement note, due to default, until February 1, 2013 for $785,000. Beginning on October 1, 2011, the Company shall make payments of $50,000 due on the first day of each month. The first $185,000 in payments shall be in cash and the remaining $600,000 shall be made in cash or common stock. On February 15, 2012, the noteholder assigned $225,000 of its $785,000 outstanding promissory note to a non- related third party investor and the Company issued a new convertible promissory note for the same value. As of November 30, 2013, the remaining principal balance is $510,000 and the note is in default.

 

On August 16, 2004, the Company entered into a promissory note with an unrelated third party for $500,000. The note bears interest at 7% per year and matured in March 2011 and is payable in quarterly installments of $25,000. As of November 30, 2013, the remaining principal balance is $137,942 and accrued interest is $155,014. The Company is in default of this note.

 

In February 2009, the Company restructured note agreements with three existing noteholders. The collective balance at the time of the restructuring was $250,000 plus accrued interest payable of $158,000, consolidated into three new notes payable totaling $408,000. The notes bear interest at 10% per year and matured on May 31, 2010, at which time the total amount of principle and accrued interest was due. In connection with the restructure of these notes, the Company issued 150,000 detachable 3-year warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The warrant issuance was recorded as a discount and amortized monthly over the terms of the note. On July 30, 2010, the Company issued 535,000 shares of common stock to settle all of these note agreements except for $25,000 of principal and $7,932 of interest still owed as of November 30, 2013 and the Company is in default of this note.

Other Matters

 

In December 2005, the Company acquired Maupintour, LLC. (“Maupintour”). On March 1, 2007, the Company sold Maupintour to an unrelated third party for the sum of $1.00 and the assumption of $900,000 of Maupintour’s debts. In October 2007, the Company was advised that purchaser had been unable to raise the required capital it had agreed to under the negotiated purchase agreement and was exercising its right to rescind the purchase. Extraordinary Vacations agreed to fund all passengers travel and moved to wind down the corporation. As part of the wind down of Maupintour, the Company created Maupintour Extraordinary Vacations, Inc. on December 14, 2007 under which certain assets and liabilities of Maupintour were assumed in order to allow for customer travel and certain past obligations of Maupintour to be met. Management estimates that there is approximately $420,000 in potential liabilities and has recorded an accrual for $420,000 in other current liabilities at November 30, 2013.

 

Note 17 – Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification 280-16 “Segment Reporting”, established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and required selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products, services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

The Company has two reportable operating segments: Media and Travel. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Each segment has its own product manager but the overall operations are managed and evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision makers for the purpose of allocating the Company’s resources. The Company also has a corporate headquarters function, which does not meet the criteria of a reportable operating segment. Interest expense and corporate expenses are not allocated to the operating segments.

 

The tables below present information about reportable segments for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012:

Note 18 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has adopted new guidance under ASC Topic 820, effective January 1, 2009. New authoritative accounting guidance (ASC Topic 820-10-15) under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, delayed the effective date of ASC Topic 820-10 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until 2009.

 

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data and requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. Further new authoritative accounting guidance (ASU No. 2009-05) under ASC Topic 820, provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update.

 

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

 

·Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

 

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

 

The following table sets forth the liabilities as of November 30, 2013, which are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, they are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Overview

 

Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (“Next 1” or the “Company”) is engaged in two lines of business: travel and real estate. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Next 1 Network (formerly RRTV Network and Resort & Residence TV), it operates its travel division, and through its majority owned subsidiary, RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“RealBiz Media” formerly Next One Realty), it operates its real estate division. The Company is positioning itself to emerge as a multi revenue stream “Next Generation” media-company, representing the convergence of TV, Mobile devices and the Internet by providing multiple platform dynamics for interactivity on TV, Video On Demand (VOD) and web solutions. The Company, through its subsidiaries has worked with multiple distributors beta testing its platforms as part of its roll out of TV programming and VOD Networks. The list includes Comcast, Cox, Time Warner and Direct TV.

 

Next 1 Network is engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the travel industry. Next 1 Network has two divisions: its linear TV networks and travel Video on Demand. It currently generates revenue from advertising revenues and commissions. Through linear TV networks, the Next 1 Network derives revenue from traditional advertising, interactive ads, sponsorships, paid programming, travel commissions and referral fees. Through Travel Video on Demand, the Next 1 Network derives revenue from monthly sponsorship packages, pre-roll advertising, travel commissions and referral fees, acceleration of our other company owned travel entities (Maupintours, Next Trip, Extraordinary Vacations and Trip Professionals).

 

RealBiz Media is engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. RealBiz Medai currently generate revenue from advertising revenues, real estate broker commissions and referral fees. RealBiz has positioned itself in the following three areas summarized here and explained in more detail below:

 

1.Real Estate Video on Demand Channel – We earn fees from pre-roll/post-roll advertising, banner ads and cross-market advertising promotions. We charge an $89 listing and marketing fee, and earn revenue from web-based and mobile advertising.

 

2.Website and Mobile Applications – We are developing a real estate web portal. This site is expected to be unique to the world of real estate search sites on multiple levels, from a consumer perspective the user experience is being designed to be completely visual and video centric, secondly, the site will provide local neighborhood information and allow for social interaction between home seekers and current residents who can provide an unbiased view of the selected neighborhood, and the content on the site will focus on the entire home ownership lifecycle from purchase through maintenance to home sale therefore giving the site a much deeper and more loyal audience over time.

 

3.Agent to Agent Interaction-From an industry perspective we believe the site will be revolutionary because it includes an agent only platform that is being designed to allow for agent to agent interaction, and “App Store” for relevant video content, community events, discount coupons, industry news and agent share programs. This site will completely empower the agent with content and assets that they can use to pursue prospects and generate leads at a fraction of the cost they’re currently paying. This agent only site will interact with our Microvideo App (MVA) platform. The MVA was developed and implemented to allow agents to access specific video based product strategies that are designed specifically to increase the SEO rank and traffic credit to real estate franchise systems and/or their brokers. This solution gives those franchises and brokers a much needed tool to lower their cost of prospect acquisition.

Sufficiency of Cash Flows

 

Because current cash balances and our projected cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, management intends to seek additional equity or obtain additional credit facilities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional capital upon terms acceptable to us. The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to the our shareholders. A portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we evaluate potential acquisitions of such businesses, products or technologies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At November 30, 2013, we had $963,234 cash on-hand, an increase of $926,883 from $36,351 at the start of fiscal 2012. The increase in cash was due primarily to funds raised through subscription agreements for Series D Preferred Stock and common shares of RealBiz Media.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,567,694 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, an increase of $251,663 from $3,819,357 used during the nine months ended November 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to an decrease in the loss on conversion of debt, amortization of intangibles, the non-controlling interest in loss of consolidated subsidiaries, amortization of intangible assets and stock based compensation, a decrease in the gain on change in fair value of derivatives, offset by a decrease in amortization in debt discount.

 

Net cash used in investing activity increased to $589,579 for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, compared to $277,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012, an increase of $312,579 primarily due to incurring website development costs, to a lesser expense the purchase of computer equipment and a notes receivable advance, offset by the reduction of the purchase of an option agreement.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $907,058 to $5,084,156, for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, compared to $4,177,098 for the nine months ended November 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the net increase of proceeds of the issuance of shares of Preferred stock, common stock and the exercise of warrants in the amount of $4,078,058, offset by decrease in net proceeds from promissory notes of $622,333, net proceeds from shareholder loans and other notes payable in the amount of $855,939 and decrease in principal payments for notes payable and capital lease in the amount of $1,692,728.

 

The growth and development of our business will require a significant amount of additional working capital. We currently have limited financial resources and based on our current operating plan, we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital upon terms that are acceptable to us. We currently do not have adequate cash to meet our short or long-term objectives. In the event additional capital is raised, it may have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

 

Since our inception in June 2002, we have been focused on the travel industry solely through the Internet. We have recently changed our business model from a company that generates nearly all revenues from its travel divisions to a media company focusing on travel and real estate by utilizing multiple media platforms including the Internet, radio and television. As a company that has recently changed our business model and emerged from the development phase with a limited operating history, we are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry. We cannot assure you that the business will continue as a going concern or ever achieve profitability. Due to the absence of an operating history under the new business model and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams.

 

We will need to raise substantial additional capital to support the on-going operation and increased market penetration of our Video on Demand real estate and travel business including the development of national sales representation for national and global advertising and sponsorships, increases in operating costs resulting from additional staff and office space until such time as we generate revenues sufficient to support the business. We believe that in the aggregate, we will need approximately $1 million to $5 million to repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and satisfy payment obligations, office space and systems required to manage the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from advertising, sponsorships, e-commerce, travel and real estate are fully- implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising the required capital to complete this portion of our business plan.

Since our inception, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from the private equity financings. We have issued these shares without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated there under because the issuance did not involve a public offering of securities. The shares were sold solely to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D there under. Currently, revenues provide less than 20% of our cash requirements. The remaining cash need is derived from raising additional capital. The current monthly cash burn rate is approximately $400,000, with the expectation of profitability by the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

 

Our multi-platform media revenue model is new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of this business model is unproven and there can be no assurance that we can achieve profitable operations. Our ability to generate revenues depends, among other things, on our ability to operate our television network and create enough viewership to provide advertisers, sponsors, travelers and homebuyers value. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, or achieve or sustain profitability.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market Risk

 

This represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument because of fluctuations in interest rates and market prices. We do not currently have any trading derivatives nor do we expect to have any in the future. We have established policies and internal processes related to the management of market risks, which we use in the normal course of our business operations.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert which represents a material weakness as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on June 13, 2013 and as amended on July 1, 2013. Due to liquidity issues, we have not been able to immediately take any action to remediate this material weakness. However, when conditions allow, we intend to expand our board of directors and establish an independent audit committee consisting of a minimum of three individuals with industry experience including a qualified financial expert. Notwithstanding the assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that there was a material weakness as identified herein, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained herein fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

During the nine months ended November 30, 2013, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule13a-15(f) of the Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
