BLUE CALYPSO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Blue Calypso, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company”), is engaged in the development, licensing and enforcement of technology and intellectual property focused on digital word-of-mouth marketing and advertising. In January 2014, the Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise to an operating company. Prior to 2014, the Company’s primary activities were the design and development of its products, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2014 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2014, or any other period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on March 31, 2014.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,027,757 and working capital of $474,783. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $1,249,977. The Company has incurred net losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $1,024,558 and $21,728 in cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options, respectively. The Company believes that its current cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements through the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from private placements of common stock, preferred stock, convertible debentures and the exercise of warrants. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private issuances of debt and equity instruments, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully execute on its business plan or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, fair values relating to warrant and other derivative liabilities, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and revenue.
As of June 30, 2014, three customers represented 43%, 31% and 15% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2013, two customers represented 49% and 24% of the Company’s accounts receivable.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, three customers represented 57%, 15% and 12% of total revenue.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, three customers represented 46%, 24% and 14% of total revenue.
The Company had minimal revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Net Loss per Share
The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
|
| June 30, 2014 |
| June 30, 2013 |
| Convertible notes payable | 3,000,000 |
| 12,600,000 |
| Series A convertible preferred stock | 11,045,655 |
| 15,823,184 |
| Options to purchase common stock | 25,870,318 |
| 14,679,073 |
| Warrants to purchase common stock | 12,004,589 |
| 32,495,753 |
| Restricted stock units | 4,442,153 |
| 13,456,667 |
| Totals | 56,362,715 |

On January 10, 2014, holders of such warrants exercised an aggregate of 11,200,000 warrants to purchase common stock at the reduced exercise price per share of $0.05 resulting in $560,000 in cash proceeds. In connection with the warrant exercise, the Company incurred a non-cash interest expense due to warrant modification of $241,176 when the inducement offer was accepted during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
On March 10, 2014, the holder of such warrants exercised an aggregate of 9,291,175 warrants to purchase common stock at the reduced exercise price per share of $0.05 resulting in $464,558 in cash proceeds. The Company issued such shares to the holder in April 2014. In connection with the warrant exercise, the Company incurred a non-cash interest expense due to warrant modification of $219,773 when the inducement offer was accepted during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
On April 1, 2014, the Company issued 200,364 shares of its common stock for investor relations services valued at $30,000.
On April 3, 2014, the Company issued 297,618 shares of its common stock for legal services valued at $50,000.
Options
Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from an index of historical stock prices of comparable entities until sufficient data exists to estimate the volatility using the Company’s own historical stock prices. Management determined this assumption to be a more accurate indicator of value. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options. The fair value of stock-based payment awards during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the number of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.
The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at a weighted average annual rate of 0% per year, as the Company does not yet have adequate historical data, for options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of employee and vesting non-employee options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:
|
| June 30, 2014 | June 30, 2013 | |
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.13%-2.73% | 0.25%-0.86% | |
| Dividend yield | 0% | 0% | |
| Stock price volatility | 77.6%-79.2% | 35.3%-117.8% | |
| Expected life | 8-10 years | 2 -5.75 years | |
| Weighted average grant date fair value | $0.11 | $0.21 |

On March 14, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an equity bonus for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer consisting of stock options with a fair value of $800,000. The total bonus awarded was $1,140,000 of which $85,000 was paid in cash and $1,055,000 was granted in stock options valued using the Black Scholes model (see Note 6). Accordingly, the Company granted options to purchase 9,232,745 shares of common stock to the Chief Executive Officer effective March 14, 2014 exercisable at $0.14 per share for ten years, vesting over a term of three years.
In April 2014, the Company awarded an aggregate of 1,730,000 of stock options to certain employees and one contractor. The stock options have exercise prices from $0.12 to $0.13 per share, will vest over a three year period, and have an approximate fair value of $170,000 using the Black Scholes model.
In May 2014, the Company awarded an aggregate of 1,250,000 of stock options to the Company’s Board of Directors. The stock options have exercise price of $0.10 per share, will vest over a three year period, and have an approximate fair value of $101,000 using the Black Scholes model.
In June 2014, the Company awarded an aggregate of 100,000 of stock options to certain employees. The stock options have exercise price of $0.11 per share, will vest over a three-year period, and have an approximate fair value of $9,000 using the Black Scholes model.

Business Overview
We develop and deliver advocacy marketing and analytics solutions and services for the business-to-consumer (B2C) marketplace leveraging mobile, social media, gamification and our intellectual property portfolio. We have developed a patented technology platform that enables brands to leverage customer and employee relationships to increase brand loyalty, syndicate brand content, improve the path-to-purchase and drive revenue. We generate revenue from service and consulting fees, platform usage and licensing and/or enforcement of such patented technologies. Our intellectual property portfolio consists of five issued patents and eight pending patent applications that cover methods and systems for communicating advertisements and electronic offers between mobile and desktop communication devices. All of the patents and patent applications that cover the core of our business, i.e., a “System and method for peer-to-peer advertising between mobile communication devices”, have been developed internally by our Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Levi, and our Director of Innovation, Bradley Bauer, and assigned to our wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Calypso, LLC. In September 2013, we acquired proprietary mobile gamification technology and subsequently applied for two additional patents based upon the enhancement and integration of this technology into our platform.
Our proprietary technology platform enables businesses to leverage word-of-mouth marketing and path-to-purchase engagement through the delivery of advertising campaigns, content and promotions across multiple social media and digital communication channels using multiple device types. Our technology facilitates the connection of brands to consumers and enables them to customize and share brand content across the most popular social media channels. Our platform then tracks performance and attribution, monitors engagement and includes robust, real-time analytics that provide acute insight regarding the adoption, interaction, performance and return on investment of our client’s promotions. Our technology is designed to help clients spread their marketing messages, acquire new customers, increase awareness and drive product sales. For example, campaigns facilitated through our platform can encourage consumers to learn more about our client’s products, watch promotional videos about particular products or click to buy products. Our platform can also assist in increasing “Likes” on Facebook, “Followers” on Twitter and encourage consumers to join our client’s email list, newsletter or blogs. All of this is accomplished by encouraging advocates of a company to interact, personalize and share messages with their friends via social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn as well as common peer-to-peer communication methods such as email and SMS/text messaging. Our clients are able to thank advocates for sharing, including offering incentives, coupons and other perks to consumer advocates who share the message. Our technology platform creates multiple opportunities for companies to interact with their most vocal brand advocates (influencers) and reward them for their loyalty.
Over the last five years, the world has seen social media, mobile technologies and digital advertising evolve dramatically and actually converge. Through this technological evolution, a sociological shift has occurred in how influential digital media can be when promoted within one’s social circles, “friend-to-friend.” We believe that people will actively endorse products with which they have a strong emotional connection or brand loyalty. When they do, these endorsements reach groups of like-minded individuals, as people generally associate with others of like mind. Social communities such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and various blogs incorporate and build on this common idea. Our platform goes a step further, leveraging mobile and social technologies and rewarding the advocates for their loyalty and performance. We believe that we have created a platform that allows large companies to leverage their own social media networks, disseminating content to their millions of advocates through email addresses, Facebook fans, Twitter followers, etc. These social media channels and mobile delivery capabilities have created a significant opportunity for companies to leverage their marketing assets by having their “fans” tell their friends about a company or product thus increasing adoption/conversion, reducing their media expenses and increasing their return on investment.
Through mobile and social media, everyone has their own unique and meaningful audience. According to Facebook, the average user has 130 friends; Twitter states the average user has 300 followers; and on average an individual has 25 unique frequent contacts they communicate with weekly via email, text messages or mobile calls. Active participation in LinkedIn, Google+, Tumblr and/or a personal blog can significantly extend one’s direct social reach significantly. With our platform, advertiser content is not bound by any single app, social media community, website, carrier or device. Once the message is shared by an advocate, it can be accessed via texts, Twitter “tweets”, LinkedIn or Facebook “posts.” As a result, our individual advocates have the capability to immediately reach hundreds or even thousands of people through their direct personal and digital social relationships.
As a by-product of campaign delivery and recipient interaction, we deliver real-time analytics and business intelligence capabilities, which provide advertisers the ability to see how campaigns are deployed, where they are getting the most traction, and which are seeing the most activity. The platform also allows advertisers to assess the conversational response to their messages which enables them to adjust their campaigns based on performance.

Litigation
On July 31, 2012, the Company filed suit against Groupon, Inc. in the Eastern District of Texas in Civil Action No. 6:12-cv-00486. The Company filed additional suits against Izea, Inc. on October 17, 2012; Yelp, Inc. on October 17, 2012; and Foursquare Labs, Inc. on October 31, 2012 in Civil Action Nos. 6:12-cv-786, 6:12-cv-788, 6:12-cv-837, respectively. Each of these cases alleges that the defendants infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 7,664,516 entitled "Method and System for Peer-to-Peer Advertising Between Mobile Communication Devices" and 8,155,679 entitled "System and Method for Peer-to-Peer Advertising Between Mobile Communication Devices." The Company subsequently added U.S. Patent Nos. 8,438,055, 8,452,646, and 8,457,670 to the cases, alleging each defendant infringed the newly added patents. Each of the defendants have answered, denying infringement and claiming that the asserted patents are invalid. Groupon, Yelp, and Foursquare filed counterclaims for declaratory judgment that the asserted patents are invalid and not infringed. Yelp filed an additional counterclaim for declaratory judgment that the asserted patents are unenforceable. The Court subsequently consolidated the actions for at least pre-trial purposes. Groupon filed a motion to transfer the case against it to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, which the Court denied on September 27, 2013.
Between July 19, 2013 and October 3, 2013, Groupon filed petitions with the Patent Trial & Appeals Board (“PTAB”) requesting institution of Covered Business Method Review of all asserted claims. On December 19, 2013 and January 17, 2014, the PTAB issued decisions instituting review on all but four of the asserted claims. On January 14, 2014, the Company and all defendants filed a joint motion to stay the district court litigation. The Court granted the motion and stayed the case on January 16, 2014 pending a decision by the PTAB. Trial on the Covered Business Method Reviews at the PTAB is set for September 5, 2014. On February 3, 2014, Groupon filed a petition to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for mandamus on the district court's denial of its motion to transfer. The Federal Circuit on April 23, 2014 denied Groupon Inc.'s bid to transfer our suit from Texas to Illinois, finding that the lower court judge correctly denied Groupon, Inc.’s earlier transfer request.

Critical Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and include the accounts of Blue Calypso, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, fair values relating to warrant and other derivative liabilities, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or service has occurred, all obligations have been performed pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue includes fees received from customers for advertising and marketing services. In each case, revenue is recognized when services are performed or licenses are granted to customers.
Revenue from the licensing of the Company’s intellectual property and settlements reached from legal enforcement of the Company’s patent rights is recognized when the arrangement with the licensee has been signed and the license has been delivered and made effective, provided license fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The fair value of licenses achieved by ordinary business negotiations is recognized as revenue.
The amount of consideration received upon any settlement or judgment is allocated to each element of the settlement based on the fair value of each element. Elements related to licensing agreements, royalty revenues, net of contingent legal fees, are recognized as revenue in the consolidated statement of operations. Elements that are not related to license agreements and royalty revenue in nature will be reflected as a separate line item within the other income section of the consolidated statements of operations. Elements provided in either settlement agreements or judgments include: the value of a license, legal release, and interest. When settlements or judgments are achieved at discounts to the fair value of a license, the Company allocates the full settlement or judgment, excluding specifically named elements as mentioned above, to the value of the license agreement or royalty revenue under the residual method. Legal release as part of a settlement agreement is recognized as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations when value can be allocated to the legal release. When the Company reaches a settlement with a defendant, no value is allocated to the legal release since the existence of a settlement removes legal standing to bring a claim of infringement and without a legal claim, the legal release has no economic value. The element that is applicable to interest income will be recorded as a separate line item in other income. The Company does not assume future performance obligations in its license arrangements.

The Company also has revenue from information technology consulting services. Revenue is recognized in the periods that satisfactory performance of services is delivered to customers. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the service has occurred, all obligations have been performed pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In cases where performance of customer contracts occurs over multiple reporting periods, the Company recognizes revenue and cost of revenue on a percentage of completion basis.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes technical service costs directly associated with initiating and supporting a customer social media program, technical service costs directly associated with providing IT consulting and legal fees directly related to the settlement of intellectual property claims that result in licensing and royalty revenue.
Intangible Assets
The Company capitalizes certain software development costs as well as purchased software upon achieving technological feasibility of the related products. Software development costs incurred and software purchased prior to achieving technological feasibility are charged to engineering and product development expense as incurred. Commencing upon initial product release, capitalized costs are amortized to cost of software licenses using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the product (which approximates the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product), which is generally up to five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment was deemed to exist as of June 30, 2014. The Company re-evaluates its amortizable intangibles at least quarterly to identify any triggering events. As described above, if triggering events require us to undertake an impairment review in the future, it is not possible at this time to determine whether it would be necessary to record a charge or if such charge would be material.
Fair Value Measurements
We have adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the consolidated statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
Results of Operations
Net Loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we had a net loss of $1,453,252, as compared to a net loss of $8,421,828 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in net loss resulted primarily from a number of one-time charges in the comparable period in the prior year, specifically; 1) loss on settlement of debt expense of $5,459,582; 2) a one-time interest cost on warrant term modification of $1,027,381; and 3) loss relative to the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $656,589.
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $122,032, as compared to $5,000 in revenues for the same period in 2013. The majority of the revenue in current year was derived from our Blue Calypso Labs group.
Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue was $71,046 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $2,503 for the same period in 2013. Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily comprised of costs related to internal IT professional staff members assigned to the Blue Calypso Labs group.
Sales and Marketing. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, sales and marketing expenses decreased by $59,867 to $144,949 as compared to the same period in 2013. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as the Company reduced senior sales executives from two in the prior year to one in the current year.
General and Administrative. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses were $1,178,874 as compared to $915,554 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This was primarily due to stock compensation associated with certain vested stock incentives and icnreased legal services during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses relate primarily to the amortization of capitalized software development. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $168,191 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $136,656 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $31,535 which was due primarily to an increase due to additional capitalized software during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred $54,449 of capitalized software development costs associated with improvements to our commercial platform. This compares to $34,546 of capitalized software development costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The Company continues to invest in the ongoing improvements to its core social media platform.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. We issued warrants and convertible debt that contain certain reset provisions in connection with financing and debt settlements. As such, we are required to record these reset provisions as a liability and mark them to market each reporting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a gain of $487 in change in the fair value of these reset provisions versus a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $656,589. As of June 30, 2014 there no longer is a liability associated with derivative liabilities as the underlying securities have been converted to common stock and are no longer outstanding.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $96,126 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $1,089,725 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The primary decrease in interest cost was from a one-time interest cost on warrant term modification of $1,027,381 charged to prior period interest.
19
Loss on settlement of debt – During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we modified the terms of a convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $515,000 and accrued interest aggregating $30,948.

The largest contributors to the increase in the net loss was a reduction in a net gain on the change of derivative liabilities of $7,559,629 that was offset by a reduction in the loss on settlement of debt of $5,459,582. In addition, there was a reduction in interest expense of $811,830 as the prior year period included a one-time interest cost on the warrant term modification of $1,027,381.
Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $286,247, as compared to $15,000 in revenues for the same period in 2013. The majority of the revenue in current year was derived from our Blue Calypso Labs group.

This was primarily associated with stock compensation associated with certain vested stock incentives during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses relate primarily to the amortization of capitalized software development. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $168,191 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $136,656 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $31,535 which was due primarily to an increase in capitalized software development costs during the period.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. In prior periods, we issued warrants and convertible notes that contain certain reset provisions in connection with financing and debt settlements. As such, we are required to record these reset provisions as a liability and mark them to market each reporting period. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a gain of $2,030 in change in the fair value of these reset provisions versus a gain for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $7,559,629. As of June 30, 2014 there is no longer a liability associated with derivative liabilities as the underlying securities have been converted to common stock and are no longer outstanding.

Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,249,977 as compared to $1,238,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was comprised of a net loss of $3,198,613 offset primarily by certain non-cash items: 1) interest cost on warrant term modification of $460,949; 2) stock based compensation expenses of $1,109,565; and, 3) depreciation and amortization of $168,191.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $63,434, as compared to $92,695 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was attributable to reduced expenditures on the development of our software.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing was $1,046,286, as compared to $2,537,500 for the same period in 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $1,024,558 in cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants and $21,728 from the exercise of stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash of $2,537,500 was provided from issuance of convertible debentures.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
None
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,027,757 and working capital of $474,783. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $1,249,977. The Company has incurred net losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $1,024,558 in cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants and $21,728 from the exercise of stock options. The Company believes that its current cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements into the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities and the exercise of warrants. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placement of equity and/or debt securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to execute on its business plan or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, management concluded that there were material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to insufficient experience to account for and disclose complex transactions under US GAAP and a limited segregation of duties within our accounting and financial reporting functions due to the small number of employees assigned to positions that involve the processing of financial information.
21
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, additional remedial actions have been implemented to address this weakness. We have devoted significant effort and resources to remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we had processes in place to identify and apply developments in accounting standards, we enhanced these processes to better evaluate our research of the nuances of complex accounting standards and engaged a third party financial reporting consultant to assist the Company in its financial reporting compliance in the latter part of 2013. Our third party consultant is a technical accounting professional, who assists us in the interpretation and application of new and complex accounting guidance. Management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive and principal financial officer, respectively) evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Management believes that the controls implemented during the period are sufficient and have concluded that such controls have been in place for a sufficient period of time in order to conclude that the identified material weakness described above have been fully remediated. Therefore, based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded that as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On July 31, 2012, the Company filed suit against Groupon, Inc. in the Eastern District of Texas in Civil Action No. 6:12-cv-00486. The Company filed additional suits against Izea, Inc. on October 17, 2012; Yelp, Inc. on October 17, 2012; and Foursquare Labs, Inc. on October 31, 2012 in Civil Action Nos. 6:12-cv-786, 6:12-cv-788, 6:12-cv-837, respectively. Each of these cases alleges that the defendants infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 7,664,516 entitled "Method and System for Peer-to-Peer Advertising Between Mobile Communication Devices" and 8,155,679 entitled "System and Method for Peer-to-Peer Advertising Between Mobile Communication Devices." The Company subsequently added U.S. Patent Nos. 8,438,055, 8,452,646, and 8,457,670 to the cases, alleging each defendant infringed the newly added patents. Each of the defendants have answered, denying infringement and claiming that the asserted patents are invalid. Groupon, Yelp, and Foursquare filed counterclaims for declaratory judgment that the asserted patents are invalid and not infringed. Yelp filed an additional counterclaim for declaratory judgment that the asserted patents are unenforceable. The Court subsequently consolidated the actions for at least pre-trial purposes. Groupon filed a motion to transfer the case against it to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, which the Court denied on September 27, 2013.
Between July 19, 2013 and October 3, 2013, Groupon filed petitions with the Patent Trial & Appeals Board (“PTAB”) requesting institution of Covered Business Method Review of all asserted claims. On December 19, 2013 and January 17, 2014, the PTAB issued decisions instituting review on all but four of the asserted claims.
22
On January 14, 2014, the Company and all defendants filed a joint motion to stay the district court litigation. The Court granted the motion and stayed the case on January 16, 2014 pending a decision by the PTAB. Trial on the Covered Business Method Reviews at the PTAB is set for September 5, 2014. On February 3, 2014, Groupon filed a petition to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for mandamus on the district court's denial of its motion to transfer. The Federal Circuit on April 23, 2014 denied Groupon Inc.'s bid to transfer our suit from Texas to Illinois, finding that the lower court judge correctly denied Groupon, Inc.’s earlier transfer request.
The court dockets for each case, including the parties’ briefs are publicly available on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records website, or PACER, www.pacer.gov, which is operated by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
