YAPPN CORP.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

November 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

All references to “dollars”, “$” or “US$” are to United States dollars and all references to “Canadian” are to Canadian dollars. United States dollar equivalents of Canadian dollar figures are based on the exchange rate as reported by the Bank of Canada on the applicable date.

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Organization

 

Yappn Corp., formerly “Plesk Corp.”, (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2010. The business plan of the Company is to provide effective unique and proprietary tools and services that create dynamic solutions that enhance a brand’s messaging, media, e-commerce and support platforms. The Company has offices in the United States and Canada. In March 2013, the Company acquired a concept and technology license from Intertainment Media Inc., a Canadian company, in exchange for 70,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of this exchange, Intertainment Media Inc. acquired, at that time, a 70 percent ownership of the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared from the accounts of the Company under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) of the Company as of November 30, 2014, and for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of November 30, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2015. The accompanying interim financial statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for additional information including significant accounting policies.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Yappn Acquisition Corp. and Yappn Canada, Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting within the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues when completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

The cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with the delivery and distribution of services. These include expenses related to the operation of data centers, salaries, benefits and customer project based costs for certain personnel in the Company’s operations.

Marketing, Advertising and Promotion Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $608,291 and $167,658 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively and totaled $891,724 and $290,432 for the six months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013.

 

Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of November 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding 2,010,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (note 8) with a conversion feature to shares of common stock at an conversion price of $0.10, five year warrants to purchase an additional 54,326,666 shares of common stock (note 8) at a per share exercise price ranging from $0.054 to $0.22, 5,436,667 stock options (note 10) that have vested with an exercise price of $0.10, and convertible notes and debentures that are convertible into 21,856,666 shares of common stock at the option of the holder based on the value of the debt host at the time of conversion with exercise prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.15. All of these issuances have a dilutive effect on earnings per share when the Company has net income for the period.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Tax”. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States. All of the Company’s tax years since inception remain subject to examination by Federal and state jurisdictions.

 

The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). There have been no penalties or interest related to unrecognized tax benefits reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

 

The Company follows FASB (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. US GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

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

 

9
 

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The warrants (Notes 8 and 9) and the convertible promissory notes and debentures (Note 6) are classified as Level 2 financial liabilities.

 

As of November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014, the carrying value of accounts payable, accrued expenses, short term loans, accrued development and related expenses and line of credit approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments, Preferred Stock and Warrants

 

The Company entered into subscription agreements whereby it sold Units consisting of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. Both the preferred stock and the warrant initially had price protection provisions and when such provisions are present, the instruments are treated as liabilities rather than as equity instruments resulting from the variability caused by the favorable terms to the holders. The Series A Preferred Stock and the five year warrants provide the holder with full anti-dilution ratchet provisions that provide the holder with a potential increase in the amount of common stock exchanged or a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the stated exercise price. The Company also issued other five year warrants as part of subscription agreements that included convertible promissory notes, debentures and line of credit, some of which have similar price protection provisions that expire after twelve months. Upon expiration of the price protection, the instruments will be treated as an equity instrument. The Series A Preferred Stock ratchet provisions ended after twelve months and as such any unconverted preferred shares are no longer treated as a liability, but as an equity instrument.

 

In the event the Company has exceeded its authorized number of common stock issuable on a diluted basis, the Company applies the earliest issuance date sequencing approach to determine which derivatives recorded in additional paid in capital, require reclassification to financial liabilities. Under the earliest issuance date sequencing approach, the financial instruments recorded in equity that have stock issuable in commons stock (excluding stock options) earlier than the date of the breach of the authorized stock limit continue to be classified as a component of additional paid in capital. All derivatives that are issuable into common stock (other than stock options) issued subsequent to the breach of the authorized stock limit on a diluted basis, are recorded as financial liabilities. Upon a rectification of the breach of the authorized stock limit, those instruments that would otherwise be recorded as component of additional paid in capital, will be reclassified to additional paid in capital at the time of the rectification.

 

When applicable, the instruments are measured at fair value using a binomial lattice valuation methodology and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as derivative liabilities. Both unrealized and realized gains and losses related to the derivatives are recorded based on the changes in the fair values and are reflected as a financing expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Hybrid Financial Instruments

 

The Company elected to apply the fair value option to account for its hybrid financial instruments. The Company made an irrevocable election to measure such hybrid financial instruments at fair value in their entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each balance sheet date. The election may be made on an instrument by instrument basis.

 

Fair Value of Convertible Promissory Notes and Debentures

 

The Company has issued convertible promissory notes and debentures that are convertible into common stock, at the option of the holder, at conversion prices based on the trading price per share over a period of time. As a result of the variability in the amount of common stock to be issued, these instruments are reflected at fair value. These instruments are measured at the greater of the present value of the note discounted at market rates or using a binomial lattice valuation methodology and are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “convertible promissory notes and debentures”. Any unrealized and realized gains and losses related to the convertible promissory notes are recorded based on the changes in the fair values and are reflected as change in fair value of derivatives and convertible notes on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Estimates

 

The interim financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s significant estimates include the fair value of financial instruments including the underlying assumptions to estimate the fair value of derivative financial instruments and convertible notes and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.

 

Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

 

These significant accounting estimates bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates and certain estimates are difficult to measure or value.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard outlines a five-step model for revenue recognition with the core principle being that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers control of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Companies can choose to apply the standard using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Under the modified approach, financial statements will be prepared for the year of adoption using the new standard but prior periods presented will not be adjusted. Instead, companies will recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has not yet made a determination as to the method of application (full retrospective or modified retrospective). It is too early to assess whether the impact of the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

 

“Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements” (“ASU 2014-10”) issued in June 2014, ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statement of operations, cash flows and stockholder’s equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-10 for its financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2015 beginning with the quarter ended August 31, 2014.

 

On August 27, 2014 the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, Update 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this update apply to all companies. They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

 

2. Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has incurred a deficit of $11,763,006 through November 30, 2014.

 

11
 

 

As of November 30, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,158,785. During the six months ended November 30, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $2,106,693. The Company expects to have similar cash needs for the next six months. At the present time, the Company does not have sufficient funds to fund operations over the next twelve months.

 

Implementation of our business plan will require additional debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. We have limited revenues to cover our operating costs. As such, we have incurred an operating loss since inception. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Management plans to meet its operating cash flow requirements from financing activities until the future operating activities become sufficient to support the business to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to work on generating operating cash flows from the commercialization of its software platform. Until those cash flows are sufficient the Company will pursue other financing when deemed necessary.

 

The Company is pursuing a number of different financing opportunities in order to execute its business plan. These include, short term debt arrangements, convertible debt arrangements, common share equity financings, either through a private placement or through the public markets and has engaged a number of investment brokers to assist management in achieving its financing objectives. During the six months ended November 30, 2014, the Company raised $1,420,160 through various financial instruments net of repayments.

 

There can be no assurance that the raising of future equity or debt will be successful or that the Company’s anticipated financing will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory to the Company. Failure to achieve the equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may have to cease operations.

 

3. Concentration of Credit Risk

 

All of the Company’s revenues are attributed to a small number of customers.

 

4. Short Term Loans

On August 4, 2014, the Company borrowed $93,458 (Canadian $100,000) in the form of a bridge loan from a private investor, with combined origination fees and interest of $3,210 (Canadian $3,500), due on August 14, 2014. The Company repaid $22,768 (Canadian $25,000) of this loan on August 25, 2014. As of November 30, 2014, the value of the remaining balance of the loan was $65,558 (Canadian $75,000).

 

During August 2014, the Company received a total of $125,000 from intended subscribers for convertible debentures, which closed on September 2, 2014. The Company treated these as short term loans where interest is accrued at 6% (same rate as the convertible debenture) for each lender from the date of the loan to the date of the subscription for the convertible debenture.

5. Line of Credit - Loan Agreement and Promissory Note

 

On March 26, 2014, the Company received an advance in the amount of $150,000 on a loan agreement and promissory note, finalized on April 7, 2014, whereby the Company can borrow up to $3,000,000 from a third party lender. The loan agreement is for an initial two year term subject to the lender’s right to demand repayment of the outstanding balance. It carried a one-time arrangement fee of $60,000 recognized as a financing expense at origination, carries an interest rate of 12% per annum and a 1% draw down fee on each draw. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10. Upon the Company’s first draw down of $200,000 from the line of credit, 2,000,000 five year warrants vest. For each subsequent $100,000 the Company draws, 1,000,000 five year warrants will vest until the 8,000,000 warrants are vested. The Company’s common stock that are issuable on the exercise of warrants will be granted registration rights, allowing the shares to be sold, once registration occurs. In addition, the Company entered into a general security agreement with the lender to which it granted the lender a first position security interest in all of its assets and in the event of default under the security agreement or the promissory note, the lender may foreclose on the assets of the Company.

During the year ended May 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $800,000 from the lender without any repayments and the 8,000,000 warrants issued to the lender on April 7, 2014 became fully vested. The warrants were valued at $1,495,200 and were reflected as a financing expense and reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss below operating income as an “other expense” for the year ended May 31, 2014.

 

From June 1, 2014 to November 30, 2014, the Company drew $1,550,155 against the line of credit and repaid $425,155 resulting in a net additional amount of $1,125,000 and an outstanding obligation of $1,925,000 at November 30, 2014.

 

6. Convertible Promissory Notes and Debentures

 

The Company has issued various convertible notes and debentures with various terms. As a result of the variability in the amount of shares of common stock to be issued in accordance with conversion price protection clauses, the Company has recorded these instruments as liabilities at fair value. The Company has determined the convertible notes and debentures to be Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to calculate the fair value as of November 30, 2014, May 31, 2014 and the commitment date.

Convertible Debentures with Series A and B Warrants

 

On January 29, 2014, February 27, 2014, and April 1, 2014 the Company issued 395, 305 and 469 Units for $395,000, $305,000, and $469,000 respectively, to accredited investors under subscription agreements. The Units, as defined in the subscription agreements, consist of (i) one unsecured 6% convertible promissory note, $1,000 par value, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock (individually Series A Warrant) at an exercise price of $0.15; and, (iii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock (individually Series B Warrant) at an exercise price of $0.20. The purchase price for each unit is $1,000 and resulted in a funding total of $1,069,000 in cash and the retirement of $100,000 debt obligation to a private individual (Note 4).

The Notes matures 24 months from the issuance date and has an interest rate of 6% per annum payable in arrears on the earlier of a default date or the maturity date. The Notes may be converted at any time after the original issuance date at the election of their holders to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued interest at a conversion price of $0.10. Under the subscription agreement, the Company has granted price protection provisions that provide the holder of Series A warrants with a potential increase in the amount of common stock exchanged or a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the stated exercise price of $0.15 for a period of twelve months from issuance. The Company determined the warrants issued to the Line of Credit lenders (Note 5) qualified as a breach of this covenant, therefore all Series A warrants were revalued to a $0.10 exercise price with the adjustment reflected as a change in the fair value. Any amount of principal or interest which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at the rate of 16% per annum from the date it is due.

 

As some of the instruments are considered derivatives and the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a financing expense on issuance of derivative instruments for accounting purposes and reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss below the operating income as an “other expense”.

As a result of the price protection being removed after one year, the remaining 2,010,000 preferred shares were reclassified on the condensed consolidated balance sheet from a derivative preferred share liability to stockholders’ equity at a value of $201,000 (Note 9).

 

As a result of the twelve month price protection provisions in the subscription agreement, the Company recognized its preferred stock in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as a derivative liability prior to the expiration of the price protection provisions. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative preferred stock liability for the year ended May 31, 2014 are described in Note 9 – Derivative Preferred Stock and Warrant Liabilities.

Subscription Agreement with Series A Preferred Shares

 

On March 28, 2013, May 31, 2013 and June 7, 2013, the Company issued a total of 9,360,000 five year warrants as part of a Unit under subscription agreements that included Series A preferred shares with full ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions. The price protection provisions were effective for twelve months from date of issuance.

 

On March 29, 2014, the price protection provisions expired on 4,010,000 shares issuable under warrants and the fair value of $917,087 was reclassified from a derivative liability to equity. As of May 31, 2014, the remaining shares issuable under warrants of 3,700,000 and 1,650,000 with issuance dates of May 31, 2013 and June 7, 2013, respectively were still reflected as a derivative liability and were revalued to $0.054. However, subsequent to May 31, 2014, when the price protection provisions expired, they were reclassified from derivative liability to equity.

 

On November 15, 2013, the Company issued 120,000 warrants under the same full ratchet anti-dilution provisions as the other warrants, to a broker as compensation for a portion of the private placement made on May 31, 2013 for these Units. These warrants were estimated using the same valuation techniques and have a value of $12,888 as at May 31, 2014.

 

Series A, B, C and D Warrants

 

On January 29, 2014, February 27, 2014, and April 1, 2014, the Company issued 395 Series A and Series B warrants, 305 Series A and Series B warrants, and 469 Series A and Series B warrants, respectively, with unsecured 6% convertible promissory notes (Note 6), as part of the defined offered Unit under the subscription agreements on those respective dates. Each Series A warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.10 per share after the re-pricing of the instruments took place. Each Series B warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $0.20 per share.

 

The Series A and Series B warrants permit cashless exercise beginning with the effective date unless and until a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrants is effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Series A warrants, for a period of twelve months from the original date of issuance, provide full ratchet price protection provisions and as such are treated as a derivative liability at the commitment date and until such provisions expire. The Series B warrants do not provide any price protection provisions and therefore are treated as equity instruments at the commitment date and thereafter. Both the Series A and Series B warrants have a five year life.

 

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, the Company authorized and issued Series C warrants to acquire 333,333 and 6,666,667 shares of common stock on April 23, 2014 and May 30, 2014, respectively, to accredited investors with unsecured 6% convertible debentures, $1,000 par value, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share with a price protection clause on any conversion feature issued after the issuance date that matures on April 23, 2016 and May 30, 2016 respectively. The Series C warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.22 per share and have a five year life. The Series C warrants do not provide any price protection provisions and therefore are treated as equity instruments at the commitment date and thereafter.

 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company authorized and issued two separate issues of 125 Units on June 27, 2014. This total authorized and issuance of 250 Units, at a value of $250,000, was to two independent accredited investors in exchange for $150,000 in cash and release of $100,000 in the loan originated on January 7, 2014 as described in Note 6. The Units, as defined in the subscription agreement, consist of (i) one unsecured 6% convertible debentures, $1,000 par value convertible into shares of the Company’s at a common stock conversion price of $0.15 per share with a price protection clause on any conversion feature issued after the issuance date that matures on June 27, 2016; and (ii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 1,666,667 shares of common stock (Series C Warrant) at a purchase price of $0.22 per share that expires on June 27, 2019.

 

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company authorized and issued Series C warrants to acquire 833,333 shares of common stock on September 2, 2014 and issued Series D warrants to acquire 333,333 and 333,333 shares of common stock on October 6, 2014, and October 27, 2014 respectively, to accredited investors. The Units, as defined in the subscription agreement, consist of (i) one unsecured 6% convertible debentures, $1,000 par value convertible into shares of the Company’s at a common stock conversion price of $0.15 per share with a price protection clause on any conversion feature issued after the issuance date that matures on September 2, 2016, October 6, 2016, and October 27, 2014 respectively; and (ii) a warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 1,666,667 shares of common stock (Series D Warrant) at a purchase price of $0.22 per share that expires on September 2, 2016, October 6, 2016, and October 27, 2014 respectively. The Series D warrants do not provide any price protection provisions and therefore should be treated as equity instruments at the commitment date and thereafter; however these warrants are booked as liabilities as the Company breached its authorized share limit on a diluted basis, which required any additional warrants that otherwise would have been recorded as equity instruments to be recorded as liability instruments.

 

Due to the Company’s breach of the authorization limit of common stock on a diluted basis on August 14, 2014, the Company is classifying the above noted warrants issued since this date as financial liabilities, which would otherwise be recorded as equity instruments and classified as part of additional paid in capital. All derivatives other than stock options issuable into common stock will be classified and accounted for as financial liabilities (see note 1 for applicable accounting policies) until the breach of the Company’s authorization limit of common stock on a diluted basis is rectified. The accounting impact of the August 14, 2014, breach only occurs under the earliest issue date sequencing approach at the date of the next issued applicable derivative, which was September 2, 2014.

Line of Credit Arrangement

 

Pursuant to the loan agreement and promissory note entered on April 7, 2014 (Note 5), the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10.

The outstanding warrants at November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014 have a weighted average exercise price of approximately $0.14 and $0.16 per share, respectively, and have an approximate weighted average remaining life of 4.2 and 4.7 years, respectively.

 

The price protection provisions of those warrants issued as part of the Series A Preferred Stock subscription prior to May 31, 2013, have expired and, as such, the instruments issued on March 28, 2013 are now recognized as equity instruments. The Series B warrants, Series C warrants, and warrants associated with the Line of Credit arrangement do not provide the holder any price protection, and as there is no variability in the determination of common stock, these warrants are also reflected as equity instruments.

 

The Company issued warrants to two separate consulting firms in the amount of 2,000,000 and 1,300,000 respectively included in financing expense on October 6, 2014 with an exercise price of $0.15 both with expiry dates of May 30, 2019.

For those warrants with price protection provisions, the calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability are described in Note 9 – Derivative Preferred Stock and Warrant Liabilities.

 

9. Derivative Preferred Stock and Warrant Liabilities

 

For the three and six months ended November 30, 2014 and the year ended May 31, 2014, the Company has Series A warrants outstanding with price protection provisions that provide the holder with a reduction in the exercise price of the instruments should the Company subsequently issue stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the exercise price of $0.10 (the revised price for the Series A warrants). The conversion price of the warrants will be decreased to the new price. The price protection on the preferred shares was for a twelve month period from date of issuance and all of these price protection periods have expired (see below), while the price protection on the warrants varies based on the individual warrant instruments issued with some having twelve months and others with no protection.

 

The Company has determined its derivative warrant liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to calculate the fair value as of November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014. The binomial lattice model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.

 

Accounting for Derivative Preferred Stock Liability

 

As of May 31, 2014, as a result of the expiration of the price protection provision on the preferred shares outstanding, any outstanding preferred stock has been reclassified to equity.

 

The following is a summary of the derivative preferred stock liability for the year ended May 31, 2014 and the six months ended November 30, 2014:

 

   Value   Number of Preferred Stock Units 
Balance as of June 1, 2013  $3,479,862    7,710,000 
Preferred stock issued June 7, 2013   1,025,475    1,650,000 
Decrease in fair value of derivative preferred stock liability   (3,569,337)   - 
Conversion into common stock   (735,000)   (7,350,000)
Transfer value of preferred stock to equity   (201,000)   (2,010,000)
     Balance as of May 31, 2014 and November 30, 2014  $-    - 

 

23
 

 

For the six months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the revaluation of the preferred stock at each reporting period resulted in the recognition of $0 and a gain of $4,007,756 respectively within the Company’s interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and convertible notes”. The changes in fair value of the preferred stock liability had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated cash flows. As the price protection provisions for the remaining 2,010,000 outstanding preferred stock expired as of March 28, 2014, the value of $201,000 was reclassified from a derivative preferred stock liability to equity. As a result, the Company no longer has a preferred stock liability as at May 31, 2014 and November 30, 2014.

 

Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

 

The Company’s derivative warrant instruments with price protection provisions have been measured at fair value at November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014 using the binomial lattice model. The Company recognizes all of its warrants with price protection provisions in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as a liability. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The initial recognition and subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative warrant liability have no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated cash flows.

 

The following is a summary of the derivative warrant liability for the year ended May 31, 2014 and the six months ended November 30, 2014:

For the six months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the revaluation of the warrants at each reporting period resulted in the recognition of a gain of $492,969 and $4,173,979 respectively within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and convertible notes”. The fair value of the warrants at November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014 was $531,546 and $2,531,282, respectively, which is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative warrant liability”.

 

Warrants under Subscription Agreement with Series A Preferred Shares

 

The warrants, issued as part of a Unit with the Series A preferred shares, have price protection provisions that expire twelve months from the date of issue (Note 8). Fair values were calculated after the expiry period for the calculation of the value to be transferred to equity.

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

 

The key inputs used in the determination of fair value after the expiry period on June 8, 2014 and June 1, 2014 and the year ended May 31, 2014 when these warrants were recorded as liabilities are as follows:

 

   June 8,
2014
   June 1,
2014
   May 31,
2014
 
Stock price  $0.14   $0.16   $0.16 
Current exercise price  $0.054   $0.054   $0.054 
                
Time to expiration – days (range)   1,461    1,461    1,461–1,468 
Risk free interest rate   1.66%   1.54%   1.54%
Estimated volatility   150%   150%   150%
Dividend        -    - 

 

The key inputs used in the May 31, 2014 and November 15, 2013 issuance of 120,000 warrants for determination of fair value calculations were as follows:

 

   November 30,
2014
   May 31,

10. Employee Benefit and Incentive Plans

 

On August 14, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2014 Stock Option Plan. The total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under this plan is 15,000,000. The Company completed its first grant of stock options immediately after the plan was approved. The following table outlines the options granted and related disclosures:

 

   Stock Options   Weighted-
Average
Exercise Price
 
Outstanding August 14, 2014 (First Grant)   10,470,000   $0.10 
Exercised   -    - 
Cancelled, forfeited or expired   -    - 
Outstanding at November 30, 2014   10,470,000   $0.10 
Options exercisable at November 30, 2014   5,436,667   $0.10 
Fair value of options vesting during the six months ended November 30, 2014  $524,349      

 

As at November 30, 2014, vested and exercisable options do not have any intrinsic value and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 4.3 years. It is expected the 5,033,333 unvested options will ultimately vest, and each has an exercise price of $0.10 and a weighted average remaining term of 4.6 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, the difference between our closing stock price as at November 30, 2014 and the option’s exercise price, for all options that are in the money. This value was $nil as at November 30, 2014.

 

As at November 30, 2014, there is $332,864 of unearned stock based compensation cost related to stock options granted that have not yet vested (5,033,333 options). This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.2 years. 7,100,000 of the stock options granted on August 14, 2014 vest 1/3 immediately, 1/3 after one year and 1/3 after two years. 150,000 options vest contingent on revenue targets, and 150,000 options vest on April 1, 2015. The remaining options all have immediate vesting terms.

 

The estimated fair value of options granted on August 14, 2014 is measured using the binomial model using the following assumptions:

 

   Total number of shares issued under options   10,470,000 
   Stock price  $0.10 
   Exercise price  $0.10 
   Time to expiration – days (2 year options)   730 
   Time to expiration – days (5 year options)   1,826 
   Risk free interest rate (2 year options)   .42%
   Risk free interest rate (5 year options)   1.58%
   Estimated volatility (all options)   150%
   Weighted-average fair value of options granted   0.09 
   Dividend   - 

 

The assumptions used in the stock based compensation binomial models are consistent with the methodology used in valuing the Company’s convertible debt instruments with two year lives, and the Company’s warrants with five year lives. Due to a lack of history, the Company has assumed the expected life of the options, is the contractual life of the options.

 

11. Related Party Balances and Transactions

 

On March 28, 2013, the Company purchased the Yappn assets from Intertainment Media, Inc. in consideration for 70,000,000 shares of common stock for a controlling 70 percent interest (as of that date) in the Company. The Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, David Lucatch is the Chief Executive Officer and directors of Intertainment Media, Inc. and Herb Willer, is a director of Intertainment Media, Inc.

 

On March 28, 2013, as part of the assets purchased the Company also assumed a technology services agreement with Ortsbo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intertainment Media, Inc. Mr. Lucatch is also the president and a member of the Board of Directors of Ortsbo, Inc. Mr. Lucatch is also a member of the Board of Directors of Ortsbo USA, Inc. The service agreement requires the Company to pay cost plus thirty percent (30%) for actual cost incurred by Ortsbo in providing technology services. In addition, the Company shall pay to Ortsbo, Inc. an ongoing revenue share which shall equal seven percent (7%) of the gross revenue generated by the Company’s activities utilizing the technology.

 

26
 

 

On October 23, 2013, the Company and Ortsbo, Inc., entered into an amendment to the Services Agreement dated March 21, 2013 for an exclusive license to use the Ortsbo property and an option to purchase a copy of the Ortsbo source code in exchange for 1,666,667 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. The shares of common stock were valued at the market price on the date of the agreement for a value of $133,333. On April 28, 2014, the Company exercised its right to purchase a copy of the source code for the Ortsbo property in exchange for 13,333,333 shares of restricted common stock. Since both the Company and Ortsbo are under the common control of Intertainment Media, Inc., and as Ortsbo’s carrying value for these assets was $nil, the Company reflected the acquisition value at $nil on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

JMJ Financial

 

On December 12, 2014, the Company paid $55,556 to settle in full the outstanding balance of the $40,000 draw from April 16, 2014 plus original issuance discount and due diligence on the $500,000 convertible promissory note from JMJ Financial (note 6).

On December 22, 2014, the Company held its annual shareholder’s meeting. During the meeting shareholders approved the increase of authorized and issued shares of common stock to 400,000,000.

Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases like “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “target,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” “we may,” “we will,” “we should,” “we seek,” “we plan,” the negative of those terms, and similar words or phrases. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate as of the date of this Quarterly Report. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted, quantified or controlled and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements. Statements in this Quarterly Report describe factors, among others, that could contribute to or cause these differences. Actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect. Because the factors discussed in this Quarterly Report could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statement. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available after the date of this Quarterly Report or the date of documents incorporated by reference herein that include forward-looking statements.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to important factors and risks including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Business History

 

We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2010 under the name of “Plesk Corp.”  Our initial business plan was to import consumer electronics, home appliances and plastic house wares. In March 2013, we filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation to change our name to “YAPPN Corp.” and increase our authorized capital stock to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.  Further, in March 2013, our Board of Directors declared a stock dividend, whereby an additional 14 shares of our common stock was issued for each one share of common stock outstanding to each holder of record on March 25, 2013.  All per share information in this report reflect the effect of such stock dividend. On December 22, 2014, we held our annual shareholder’s meeting. During the meeting shareholders approved the increase of authorized and issued shares of common stock to 400,000,000 shares of common stock. We have filed an amendment with the State of Delaware to affect this change.

 

On March 28, 2013, we purchased a prospective social media platform and related group of assets known as Yappn (“Yappn”) from Intertainment Media, Inc. (“IMI”), a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, for 70,000,000 shares of our common stock, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” and the transaction, the “Asset Purchase”) by and among IMI, us, and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Yappn Acquisition Sub., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Yappn Sub”).  Mr. David Lucatch, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the Chief Executive Officer of IMI.  IMI, as a result of this transaction has a controlling interest in our company.  Included in the purchased assets is a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) dated March 21, 2013 by and among IMI and its wholly owned subsidiaries Ortsbo, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (“Ortsbo Canada”), and Ortsbo USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ortsbo USA” and, collectively with Ortsbo Canada, “Ortsbo”).  Ortsbo is the owner of certain multi-language real time translation intellectual property that we believe is a significant component of the Yappn business opportunity.

 

We have abandoned our plan to import consumer electronics, home appliances and plastic house wares. Immediately following the Asset Purchase, under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations, we transferred all of our pre-Asset Purchase assets and liabilities to our wholly owned subsidiary, Plesk Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Thereafter, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, we transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of Plesk Holdings, Inc. to certain of our former shareholders in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 112,500,000 shares of our common stock held by such persons.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 1001 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10018 and our telephone number is (888) 859-4441. Our website is http://www. yappn.com (which website is expressly not incorporated into this filing).

Our Business

 

The related group of assets known as Yappn (“Yappn”) is a real-time multilingual business that amplifies brand messaging, helps conduct commerce and provides customer support by globalizing these experiences with its proprietary approach to language. Through its Real Time Multilingual Amplification platform, Yappn eliminates the language barrier, allowing the free flow of communications in nearly 70 languages to support brand and individuals’ marketing objectives, commerce revenue goals and customer support objectives by making language universal for all fans and consumers. These services are increasingly becoming essential for companies to conduct business online as English is no longer the language of the internet. Over 73% of the world’s internet users speak a language other than English (Source: “Internet World Stats 2011” at http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats7.htm). Even domestically, over 66 million or 21% of the U.S. population does not speak English at home as of 2011 (Source: http://www.census.gov/prod/2013pubs/acs-22.pdf). We anticipate that those figures are expected to grow significantly in the following five years.

 

Through Yappn, we have developed cost effective unique and proprietary technology tools and services that create dynamic solutions that enhance a brands messaging, media, e-commerce and support platforms. Through the use of Yappn’s services, we contend that device, location and connection are no long issues for the digital user.

 

 We believe that Yappn redefines global social marketing by providing a set of stand-alone commercial tools for brands providing easy to implement and cost effective globalization solutions as they are complementary, not competitive, to today’s top social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr and YouTube, web, mobile, video players, blogs, online broadcasting, private networks and event virtualization.

 

 Yappn will also be used to enable eCommerce in the multi-language/multi-social media marketing feed of an online store, the multi-language translation of the store, and the multi-language post-sale support of a transaction. We are planning to work with our customers on an incremental revenue based model deriving revenue from a percent of each sale plus professional services, when applicable.

 

Implementation of our business plan will require additional debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained on acceptable terms. We are in the development stage, and have limited revenues to cover our operating costs. As such, we have incurred an operating loss since inception. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. Our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph, specifically Footnote 2, in their audit report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern and Footnote 2 to the Notes to this Quarterly Report also discusses concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our Strategy

 

The Yappn e-Commerce business model includes a business plan that we believe allows companies to extend their reach online and become truly “international” by servicing customers in nearly 70 languages to improve their relationship with their consumers through the elimination of the language barrier and offering the shopping cart and catalog in multiple languages.   Out of 2.3 billion internet users, only 540 million speak English (Source: Miniwatts Marketing Group). Management believes that prime markets for eCommerce growth are in China and Eastern Europe. We provide services on a fee for services basis, percentage of revenue per transaction, professional service fees and in some cases on a CPM (cost per thousand) or as a percentage of revenue to online advertising and monetization events.  

 

The Yappn chat platform (chat.yappn.com, which website is expressly not incorporated into this filing) allows users to create and moderate discussion rooms based on interest topics where users can view content and chat in their native language in real time. Each user's experience is individualized to their native language allowing for a global free flow of communication without a language barrier. Revenue in the chat platform is driven by sponsorship programs, private chat boards and other upcoming upgrades in the future.

 

The Yappn tool set (yappn.com,, which website is expressly not incorporated into this filing) provides brands with a series of technology add-ons to complement their current social media activities and allows them to reach a global audience by instantly providing key messaging in almost 70 languages.

 

  The Social Media Wall is an aggregation of major social media accounts for fans and consumers to interact with in almost 70 languages.

 

  Live video captioning is to broadcast a live event with real-time video closed captioning in almost 70 languages.

 

  Post production video provides closed captioning in almost 70 languages for archive videos and feature films.

 

29
 

 

  A live Q&A is an interactive live stream with fans worldwide allowing them to participate and ask moderated questions in almost 70 languages.

 

  Engagement events such as a custom branded Twitter Q&A session which allows for real-time multilingual events to activate on a global scale for brands and individuals.

 

  Real-Time Social Imagery allows for the creation of real-time conversation via social media with professional photography at major events

 

The tools are a "build once and deploy everywhere" arrangement allowing brands to embed key social media like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr and Tumblr and mobile into existing platforms. Yappn tools have been effectively tested and commercially deployed through a number of entertainment, sports and commercial brands and they are now available to agencies to enhance their client's domestic and global outreach plans. The programs are available on a servicing contractual basis and we have begun to receive contractual commitments from various brands for the use of its tool sets.

 

Yappn will continue to develop additional revenue-centric features and tools and refine our current business plan. Each new feature set is built on a prime revenue driver for our business as it continues to work with clients and their agencies to develop new deployment tools and programs to reach an expanding global audience.

 

FotoYapp

 

Fotoyapp is a multichannel consumer platform for web, portable and mobile devices and allows users to instantly connect photos and images to almost any content in almost any language. This builds on the idea that “a picture is worth a thousand words” by revolutionizing social engagement and allowing images and content to be linked to each other and shared instantly, creating the ability to share beyond the image. A user simply takes an image from a camera, tablet, computer, etc. and uploads it to Fotoyapp along with key words that describe the image. Fotoyapp automatically adds the users current social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook and Sina Wibo and crawls the web for related social media posts using the selected key words. A Web crawler is a software application that systematically browses the World Wide Web, typically for the purpose of Web indexing. The result is a stand-alone page where images are socially and visually enabled with all types of related content that automatically defaults to the view’s language, regardless of what language the social content was posted in.

 

Fotoyapp will offer advance features not currently found, to our knowledge, in other leading social and mobile content channels. For example, a user uploads an image of the dinner they ordered at a restaurant. That image could be connected to the restaurant’s location and URL, popular restaurant rating sites and other related online content, providing viewers of the image with a total picture of the image. The restaurant, in turn, could share the image with its other constituents and sites. This process can be duplicated for products and services where images can be used to create value for commercial purposes and connect to Yappn’s eCommerce multilingual offerings.

 

Yappn has completed a business agreement with Getty Images for its FotoYapp multi-channel app. Pursuant to this agreement, Influencers (defined as a celebrity, athlete or otherwise famous individual with a social network of fans which consists of but not limited to, significant Facebook fans, twitter followers and Instagram followers.) that Yappn and Fotoyapp have agreements with will have authenticated access to photography through the Getty Images platform allowing them to instantly tag, comment and share images through Fotoyapp, giving them the ability to broaden their social outreach. Additionally, consumers will have access to some of the world’s best imagery through select Getty Images collections offered on Fotoyapp, providing new opportunities to create global social engagement with content and FotoYapp’s multi-lingual social sharing with a wide range of business solutions.

 

Digital Widget Factory

 

Yappn has executed a three-year Master Services Agreement and SOW (statement of work) with Digital Widget Factory to develop and manage a minimum of 200 multilingual E-commerce sites which will include multilingual online marketing through traditional online services and social engagement. Expected first year revenues for the program are estimated to be up to $3,000,000 in revenues (although no assurances can be provided that such amounts will be achieved or profitability realized) with rapid expansion of sites planned for 2016 and 2017. Contract terms allowed for pre-paid fees in association with the project of a minimum of $250,000 plus 20% net profit on the program for the term duration. A copy of the Master Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.36.

 

The Services Agreement

 

We acquired the rights under the Services Agreement dated March 21, 2013 between IMI and IMI’s wholly owned Ortsbo subsidiaries upon the closing of the Asset Purchase. Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, Ortsbo made available to us its representational state transfer application programming interface (the “Ortsbo API”), which provides multi-language real-time translation as a cloud service. The Services Agreement also provides that Ortsbo makes its “Live and Global” product offering, which enables a cross language experience for a live, video streaming production, available to us as a service for marketing and promoting the Yappn product in the marketplace (the “Services”).  The Services do not include the “chat” technology itself and we shall be solely responsible for creating, securing or otherwise building out our website and any mobile applications to include chat functionality, user forums, user feedback, and related functionality within which the Ortsbo API can be utilized to enable multi-language use.  Under the initial agreement, no intellectual property owned by Ortsbo would be transferred to us except to the extent set forth in the Services Agreement as described in “Intellectual Property” set forth below.

 

30
 

 

For all ongoing services provided under the Services Agreement, we shall pay Ortsbo an amount equal to the actual cost incurred by Ortsbo in providing the Services, plus thirty percent (30%).  In addition, we shall pay to Ortsbo an ongoing revenue share which shall equal seven percent (7%) of the gross revenue generated by our activities utilizing the Services.  If we are earning revenue without use of the Services because, for example, all communications are taking place in English, then no revenue share shall be owing to Ortsbo with respect thereto.  If there is a blend of multi-language and English-English communications, then the parties shall do their best to pro rate or apportion the revenues appropriately in order to compensate Ortsbo for the portion of our revenues enabled by use of the Services from Ortsbo.  The Services Agreement may be terminated by either party with 60 days written notice and both parties may not, for the term of the Agreement and a period of two years thereafter, (i) directly or indirectly assist any business that is competitive with the other party’s business, (ii) solicit any person to leave employment with the other and (iii) solicit or encourage any customer to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the other.

 

In October 2013, we amended the Services Agreement.  Under the terms of the amendment to the Services Agreement, we will have the first right of refusal to purchase the Ortsbo platform and all its assets and operations for a period of two years; increasing its use of Ortsbo's technology for business to consumer social programs at a purchase price to be negotiated at the time we exercise our right. We also have a right to purchase a copy of the source code only applicable to Yappn programs for $2,000,000 which may be paid in cash or restricted shares of our common stock at a per share price of $.15 per share. As part of the enhancement agreement, we issued Ortsbo 1,666,667 shares of our restricted common stock. On April 28, 2014, we exercised our right to purchase a copy of the source code for the Ortsbo property in exchange for 13,333,333 shares of restricted common stock for a value of $2,000,000.

 

Competition

 

Our new business focus relating to and arising from the development of the Yappn assets is characterized by innovation, rapid change, and disruptive technologies.  We will face significant competition in every aspect of this business, including from companies that provide tools to facilitate the sharing of information, that enable marketers to display personalized advertising and that provide users with multi-language real-time translation of social media platforms.  We will compete with the following, many of whom have significantly greater resources than we do: 

 

  Companies that offer full-featured products that provide a similar range of communications and related capabilities that we provide.  These offerings include, for example, Facebook, LinkedIn, Craigslist, Google+, which Google has integrated with certain of its products, including search and Android, as well as other, largely regional, social networks that have strong positions in particular countries, such as Mixi in Japan and vKontakte and Odnoklassniki in Russia.

 

  Companies that provide web- and mobile-based information and entertainment products and services that are designed to engage users.

 

  Companies that offer platforms for game developers to reach broad audiences with free-to-play games including Facebook and Apple's iOS and Google's Android mobile platforms.
     
  Traditional and online businesses that offer corporate sponsorship opportunities and provide media for marketers to reach their audiences and/or develop tools and systems for managing and optimizing advertising campaigns.

 

We anticipate that we will compete to attract, engage, and retain users, to attract and retain marketers, to attract and retain corporate sponsorship opportunities, and to attract and retain highly talented individuals, especially software engineers, designers, and product managers.  As we introduce new features to the Yappn platform, as the platform evolves, or as other companies introduce new platforms and new features to their existing platforms, we may become subject to additional competition. We believe that our ability to quickly adapt to a changing marketplace, and our experienced management team, will enable us to compete effectively in the market.  Further, we believe that our focus on encouraging user engagement based on topics and interests, rather than on “friends” or connections, will differentiate us from much of the competition.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We own (i) the yappn.com domain name (which website is expressly not incorporated into this filing) and (ii) the Yappn name and all trademarks, service marks, trade dress and copyrights associated with the Yappn name, logo and graphic art.  We may prepare several patent filings in the future. Upon payment of the applicable fees pursuant to the Services Agreement, we will become the exclusive owner of copyright in the literary works or other works of authorship delivered by Ortsbo to us as part of the Services provided under the Services Agreement (the “Deliverables”).  All such rights shall not be subject to rescission upon termination of the Services Agreement.  Also as set forth in the Services Agreement, we shall grant to Ortsbo (i) a non-exclusive (subject to certain limitations) license to use the Deliverables for the sole purpose of developing its technology, (ii) a non-exclusive license to use, solely in connection with the provision of the Services, any intellectual property owned or developed by us or on our behalf and necessary to enable Ortsbo to provide the Services and (iii) a license to use intellectual property obtained by us from third parties and necessary to enable Ortsbo to provide the Services.  All such licenses shall expire upon termination of the Services Agreement.

 

On April 28, 2014, we purchased a copy of the source code for the Ortsbo property and all the rights associated with it.

 

31
 

 

Marketing

 

We intend that the Yappn community will grow virally with users inviting their friends to connect with them, supported by internal efforts to stimulate user awareness and interest. In addition, we plan to invest in marketing its services to build its brand and user base around the world and to regularly host online events and conferences to engage with developers, marketers and online consumers.

 

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state, and foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet, many of which are still evolving and being tested in courts, and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. These may involve user privacy, rights of publicity, data protection, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, taxation and online payment services. In particular, we are subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the United States. U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly-evolving industry in which we operate. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies, and foreign governments concerning data protection which could affect us.  For example, a revision to the 1995 European Union Data Protection Directive is currently being considered by legislative bodies that may include more stringent operational requirements for data processors and significant penalties for non-compliance.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

None.

 

Registration Statement

 

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-199569) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2014 (amended November 7, 2014) for up to 75,926,665 shares of Yappn Corp.’s $0.0001 par value per share common stock (the "Common Stock") by certain selling stockholders upon conversion of promissory notes and/or warrants currently held by those selling stockholders, specifically (i) 18,440,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to them upon exercise of promissory notes and (ii) 45,880,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to them upon exercise of warrants. The warrants have an exercise prices varying from $0.10 to $0.22 per share (subject to adjustment). The Registration Statement covering the above noted shares was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 on November 17, 2014.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013

 

Revenues

 

We are in the process of commercialization of our multi-language platform.  We had revenues of $77,975 and $25,500 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Comparative period revenues resulted from services provided for a few limited customer events prior to launch of the platform. Our management is focusing on developing relationships with commercial partners and influencers, which has delayed revenue realization in recent quarters.

 

Cost of revenue

 

We incurred costs of revenue of $206 and $6,440, for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These costs were directly attributable to the revenues generated in the comparative period and resulted in a gross profit of $77,769 and $19,060, for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Total operating expenses

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, total operating expenses were $1,551,272 and $977,419, respectively.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2014, the operating expenses consisted of marketing expense of $608,291, research and development expenses of $175,755, general and administrative expenses of $399,857, legal and professional fees of $62,360, consulting fees of $220,495 and stock based compensation of $84,453. For the comparable three months ended November 30, 2013, total operating expenses were $977,419.  The operating expenses consisted of marketing expenses of $167,658, research and development expenses of $330,760, general and administrative expenses of $311,037, professional fees of $61,043 and consulting fees of $106,921.

 

32
 

 

All of our research and development costs have been incurred since the fourth quarter of the 2013 fiscal year. These research and development expenses are primarily for fees to technology consultants from Intertainment Media and Ortsbo.  As the social media platform and products become commercialized we expect the costs of research and development to decrease, but would expect maintenance costs on the social media platform to increase.

 

General and administrative expenses include executive and office salaries, administrative services for accounting and finance, outside consulting costs for business development, costs for investor relations and general business needs and averaged approximately $325,000 per quarter. These costs have grown as we have worked to develop a customer base and meet the needs of investors to finance our operation. Management has made some direct hires over the comparative period which has increased the overall costs as well. Professional fees were incurred primarily for use of legal counsel related to financing arrangements for convertible promissory notes and warrants and for accounting and auditing services. We expect our professional fees to vary from period to period based upon our corporate needs. Consulting fees incurred primarily for consulting service costs for third party consultants. We have used a number of different outside firms to provide strategic position of our products, markets and customer introductions. Some of the fees of the firms providing these services were paid with common stock.

 

Total other income and expenses

 

Other (income) expenses totaled $(575,536) and $270,247, for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. The change of $(845,783) is primarily due to the change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments. Many of our financing instruments are either convertible into our common stock or have provisions that provide an option to convert into our common stock. For accounting purposes we are required to value such instruments at fair value which can fluctuate as the market price of our common stock fluctuates.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2014, total other (income) consisted of interest expense of $85,066, financing expenses related to convertible debentures, warrants and contractual obligations totaling $576,339, a gain resulting from the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities and convertible notes of $(1,187,810) and other miscellaneous income of $(49,131).

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2013, total other income and expenses resulted in losses of $270,247.  The other expenses consisted of interest expense of $20,248 and financing expenses on the issuance of derivative liabilities of $85,546. Other income consisted of the decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities resulting in income of $155,297 and miscellaneous other income of $9,156.

 

During the six month period ended November 30, 2014 and year ended May 31, 2014, we raised $1,420,160 and $3,860,093, respectively, in cash from short term notes payable, line of credit, convertible notes and debentures through normal channels and private placements. For accounting purposes, since certain financial instruments had convertible provisions and in some cases provisions that protect the holder by including full ratchet anti-dilution measures, they are treated as derivatives liabilities and are valued using a binomial lattice fair value model upon inception and adjusted accordingly to market at the close of the period.  The financing expense associated with the capital raises and prior obligations were $576,339 and $85,546, for the three month period ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. There was less financing raised in the quarter ending November 30, 2014 from convertible notes and no financing from preferred share issuance than the comparative period, instead the we made more use of bridge loans and the line of credit arrangement.

For the three month period ended November 30, 2014, the gain from fair value adjustment largely relates to the passage of time where value naturally erodes, as well as the moderate decreases in the our stock price. In the comparative period, there was a significant decline in the market price compared to those prices that were in effect at the time of the original issuance of these convertible instruments and warrants from Fiscal 2013. The changes in market value of our common stock coupled with the other parameters used in the binomial lattice model for all instruments marked to market, resulted in a gain of $1,187,810 for the three month period ended November 30, 2014 in contrast to a loss of $155,297 for the three month period ended November 30, 2013, a change of $1,343,107.

 

Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss)

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, we had net loss and comprehensive loss of $897,967 and 1,228,606 respectively.

 

Six Months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013

 

Revenues

 

We are in the process of commercialization of our multi-language platform.  We had revenues of $77,975 and $31,260 for the six months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Comparative period revenues resulted from services provided for a few limited customer events prior to launch of the platform. Our management is focusing on developing relationships with commercial partners and influencers, which has delayed revenue realization in recent quarters.

 

Cost of revenue

 

We incurred costs of revenue of $206 and $9,983, for the six months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These costs were directly attributable to the revenues generated in the comparative period and resulted in a gross profit of $77,769 and $21,277, for the six months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Total operating expenses

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, total operating expenses were $3,141,642 and $2,036,094, respectively.

 

For the six months ended November 30, 2014, the operating expenses consisted of marketing expense of $891,724, research and development expenses of $496,732, general and administrative expenses of $720,033, professional fees of $99,237, consulting fees of $324,995 and stock based compensation of $608,802. For the comparable six months ended November 30, 2013, total operating expenses were $2,036,094.  The operating expenses consisted of marketing expenses of $290,432, research and development expenses of $668,936, general and administrative expenses of $464,743, professional fees of $191,870 and consulting fees of $420,113.

 

34
 

 

All of our research and development costs have been incurred since the fourth quarter of the 2013 fiscal year. These research and development expenses are primarily for fees to technology consultants from Intertainment Media and Ortsbo.  As the social media platform and products become commercialized we expect the costs of research and development to decrease, but would expect maintenance costs on the social media platform to increase.

 

General and administrative expenses include executive and office salaries, administrative services for accounting and finance, outside consulting costs for business development, costs for investor relations and general business needs and averaged approximately $325,000 per quarter. These costs have grown as we have worked to develop a customer base and meet the needs of investors to finance our operation. Management has made some direct hires over the comparative period which has increased the overall costs as well. Professional fees were incurred primarily for use of legal counsel related to financing arrangements for, convertible promissory notes and warrants and for accounting and auditing services. We expect our professional fees to vary from period to period based upon our corporate needs. Consulting fees incurred primarily for consulting service costs for third party consultants. We have used a number of different outside firms to provide strategic position of our products, markets and customer introductions. Some of the fees of the firms providing these services were paid with common stock.

 

Total other income and expenses

 

Other (income) expenses totaled $(1,438,975) and $(5,956,446), for the six months ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. The change of $(4,517,471) is primarily due to the change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments. Many of our financing instruments are either convertible into our common stock or have provisions that provide an option to convert into our common stock. For accounting purposes we are required to value such instruments at fair value which can fluctuate as the market price of our common stock fluctuates.

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2014, total other (income) consisted of interest expense of $148,966, financing expenses related to convertible debentures, and warrants that are considered derivative liabilities totaling $580,506, a gain resulting from the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities and convertible notes of $(2,132,875) and other miscellaneous income of $(35,572).

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2013, total other income and expenses resulted in income of $(5,956,446).  The other expenses consisted of interest expense of $28,094 and financing expenses on the issuance of derivative liabilities of $2,043,076. Other income consisted of the increase in the fair value of the derivative liabilities resulting in a gain of $8,026,438 and miscellaneous other income of $1,178.

 

The financing expenses related to the issuance of derivative liabilities increased for the six months ended November 30, 2013 related to our raising capital by issuing 1,650,000 units of preferred stock and warrants.  For accounting purposes, since these instruments protect the holder by including full ratchet anti-dilution measures, they are treated as derivatives liabilities and are valued using a binomial fair value model upon inception and adjusted accordingly to market at the close of the period.  The accounting for the derivative liabilities are recorded as a financing expense on the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

 

As of November 30, 2013, we adjusted the fair value of the derivatives instruments related to the sale of 9,360,000 units of preferred stock and warrants previously issued. The market price of the common shares declined from a May 31, 2013 share price of $0.55 to a November 30, 2013 share price of $0.09. As a result of the revaluation of the derivative instruments on November 30, 2013, the related derivative liabilities were reduced, which contribute to the vast majority of the $8,026,438 recorded gain for the six months ended November 30, 2013.

 

During the six month period ended November 30, 2014 and year ended May 31, 2014, we raised $1,420,160 and $3,860,093, respectively, in cash from short term notes payable, line of credit, convertible notes and debentures through normal channels and private placements. For accounting purposes, since certain financial instruments had convertible provisions and in some cases provisions that protect the holder by including full ratchet anti-dilution measures, they are treated as derivatives liabilities and are valued using a binomial lattice fair value model upon inception and adjusted accordingly to market at the close of the period.  The financing expense associated with the capital raises and prior obligations were $580,506 and $2,043,076 for the six month period ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. There were less financing raised in the quarter ending November 30, 2014 from convertible notes and No financing from preferred share issuance than the comparative period, instead we made more use of bridge loans and the line of credit arrangement.

For the six month period ended November 30, 2014, the gain from fair value adjustment largely relates to the passage of time where value naturally erodes, as well as the moderate decreases in our stock price. In the comparative period, there was a significant decline in the market price compared to those prices that were in effect at the time of the original issuance of these convertible instruments and warrants from Fiscal 2013. The changes in market value of our common stock coupled with the other parameters used in the binomial lattice model for all instruments marked to market, resulted in a gain of $2,132,875 for the six month period ended November 30, 2014 in contrast to a larger gain of $8,026,438 for the six month period ended November 30, 2013, a change of $5,893,563

 

Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss)

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, we had net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income of $(1,624,898) and 3,941,629 respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of November 30, 2014, we had a cash balance of $300,566, which is a decrease of $688,126 from the ending cash balance of $988,692 as of May 31, 2014. We do not have sufficient funds to fund our expenses over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. Since we have no other financial arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable going concern.

 

To fund our operations, we have issued convertible preferred stock, short term notes, convertible debt instruments and warrants under various subscription private placements to accredited investors for gross cash receipts of $1,420,160 and $3,860,093 for the six months ended November 30, 2014 and the year ended May 31, 2014. We have used this financing for funding operations and replacing short term high cost debt instruments with lower cost longer term financial instruments where the economics made sense.

 

We estimate we will need additional capital to cover our ongoing expenses and to successfully market our product offerings. This is only an estimate and may change as we receive feedback from customers and have a better understanding of the demand for our application and the ability to generate revenues from our new products. Both of these factors may change and we may not be able to raise the necessary capital and if we are able to, that it may not be at favorable rates.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

We incurred net losses and comprehensive losses resulting in a deficit of $11,763,006 through November 30, 2014. At November 30, 2014, we had total assets of $397,198 and liabilities totaling $6,403,510 and a working capital deficit of $3,158,785. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Implementation of our business plan will require additional debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that additional financing can be obtained on acceptable terms.  We are in the development stage, and have limited revenues to cover our operating costs. As such, we have incurred an operating loss since inception. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise adequate capital to fund operating losses until we are able to engage in profitable business operations. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

There can be no assurance that the raising of equity or debt will be successful or that our anticipated financing will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory us. Failure to achieve the equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and we may have to cease operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, as well as internal control over financial reporting, may not prevent or detect all inaccurate statements or omissions.

 

Our management, with the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2014 were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

(b) Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2014, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a materially affect, on our internal control over financial reporting.
