Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. The Company

 

DubLi, Inc. (“DubLi,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a global E-commerce and network marketing company. The Company is organized in Nevada and its principal executive offices are located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are incorporated in Florida, the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates and India.

 

Our E-commerce transactions are conducted through DubLi.com websites in Europe, North America, Australia and through a global portal serving the rest of the world. We have a large network of independent Business Associates that sell our various E-commerce products. Prior to March 28, 2013, DubLi’s principal business included reverse auctions program conducted online that were designed to: (i) sell its proprietary electronic gift cards; and (ii) enable consumers to purchase merchandise through its shopping portals from online retailers at discount prices. Effective March 28, 2013 the Company discontinued its auctions program.

  

Our sole director, Michael Hansen has a direct ownership of approximately 79.8 million shares of our common stock and 185,000 shares of our Super Voting Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2015. As a result, Mr. Hansen had the power to cast approximately 56% of the combined votes that could be cast by our stockholders. Accordingly, he has the power to influence or control the outcome of important corporate decisions or matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including, but not limited to, increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company, the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company’s assets, the size and membership of the Board of Directors, and all other corporate actions.

 

Liquidity

The Company incurred accumulated losses for the period from our inception through March 31, 2015 of approximately $40.7 million. As a result, the Company had stockholders’ and working capital deficits of approximately $13.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2015. However, the calculation of working capital deficit included $13.9 million of a deferred nature in current liabilities which are not subject to repayment or refund. Therefore an adjusted working capital deficit would instead be $1.3 million since the amount of $13.9 million is not repayable or refundable.

 

We continue to update our product offerings, which places additional demands on future cash flows and may decrease liquidity as we improve our systems. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including market acceptance of our revised product offerings and revenues generated from such operations, competitive pressures, and acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses. We intend to increase our marketing efforts in order to grow our network of Business Associates which we expect will improve sales of our E-commerce products. The marketing efforts will place additional demands on our cash flows and liquidity. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful in generating revenues from operations; adequately dealing with competitive pressures; acquiring complementary products, technologies or business; or increasing our marketing efforts.

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with two unaffiliated foreign private investors for the sale of 20 million shares of common stock at $0.10 per share (“Stock Transaction”) for a total cash consideration of $2 million. The Stock Transaction closed on May 12, 2015.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we owed Mr. Hansen a total of approximately $4.1 million in loans and advances. Mr. Hansen has also provided a revolving loan commitment to fund the Company up to $5 million through December 31, 2015 out of which there is $3.5 million remaining in available funds.

 

The Company is pursuing the sale of a parcel of land in Dubai for approximately $1.25 million. Management anticipated that the completion of the land sale would occur within ninety days from February 9, 2015, the date of the Sale Agreement – Memorandum of Understanding which was entered into with an unaffiliated purchaser. As of May 9, 2015, certain documentation required to be filed with the recording authorities has not been completed. Management now anticipates that the completion of the land sale transaction will occur during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. However, there is no assurance that the land sale will be completed.

  

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for future periods, including the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.

 

7
 

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to interim financial statements and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted in these condensed financial statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DubLi, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01 (ASU 2015-01) Income Statement -Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This ASU 2015-01 is part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and eliminates from US GAAP the concept of extraordinary items, which were previously required to be segregated from the results of ordinary operations and shown separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. Entities were also required to disclose applicable income taxes for the extraordinary item and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item. Items which are considered both unusual and infrequent will now be presented separately within income from continuing operations in the income statement or disclosed in notes to the financial statements. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Companies may apply ASU 2015-01 prospectively, or may also apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Foreign Currency

Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries operating in other than highly inflationary economies are translated at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and historical exchange rates during the period for income and expense accounts. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Financial statements of subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies are translated using a combination of current and historical exchange rates and any translation adjustments are included in current earnings. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded in operating expense. The Company has no subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters, companies with foreign operations or foreign currency transactions are required to prepare the statement of cash flows using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the cash flows. The Company uses an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the period for translation if the result is substantially the same as if the rates at the dates of the cash flows were used. The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows reports the effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies as a separate part of the reconciliation of the change in cash and cash equivalents during the period.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing the income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The potential impact of all common stock equivalents were excluded from the number of shares outstanding used for purposes of computing net loss per share as the impact of such equivalents was anti-dilutive due to the loss from continuing operations. Potential dilutive securities, which consisted of outstanding stock options and other compensation arrangements not included in dilutive weighted average shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately 1.4 million and 3,000, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, were approximately 1.4 million and 0.3 million, respectively.

Segment Policy

The Company derives its revenues from the E-Commerce and Memberships segment which includes business license fees, membership subscription fees, commission income, advertising and marketing programs; and the Auctions segment (reported as discontinued operations) as described in Note 12 - Segment Information.

 

3. Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents chargeback reserves held by the Company’s credit card processor. Amounts of restricted cash held, by type of currency were as follows:

 

   March 31,   September 30, 
   2015   2014 
Euro  $158,242   $206,312 
Australian Dollar   65,444    77,563 
United States Dollar   1,129,571    620,590 
           
Total  $1,353,257   $904,465 

 

4. Deferred Costs

 

Deferred costs represent commission costs which are directly related to: (i) deferred subscription fees which are expensed ratably over the subscription periods; and (ii) advertising and marketing programs which are expensed when all services and obligations are fulfilled or upon breakage. Deferred costs expensed are included in cost of revenues.

 

5. Land Held for Sale

   March 31,   September 30, 
   2015   2014 
Cost  $2,114,412   $2,114,412 
Less: Valuation allowance   889,143    889,143 
           
   $1,225,269   $1,225,269 

 

On August 14, 2012, the Company acquired two mixed-use parcels of vacant land in Dubai, United Arab Emirates at a fair value of approximately $3.5 million. During fiscal 2013, the carrying value of approximately $3.5 million exceeded its revised fair value and as a result the carrying value was reduced to its new fair value of approximately $2 million. On March 12, 2014, the Company disposed of the first parcel of land for a cash consideration which equaled to its carrying value of approximately $0.8 million. Upon completion of the sale of the first parcel, the cost of the second parcel was recorded at approximately $2.1 million less a valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million.

 

On February 9, 2015, the Company entered into a Property Sale Agreement – Memorandum of Understanding (“Sale Agreement”) for the sale of the second parcel with an unaffiliated third party for approximately $1.25 million. Management anticipated that completion of the land sale would occur within ninety days from February 9, 2015 as stipulated in the Sale Agreement. As of May 9, 2015, certain documentation required to be filed with the recording authorities has not been completed. Management now anticipates that the completion of the land sale transaction will occur during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. However, there is no assurance that the land sale will be completed. In the event that the land sale does close, the Company is not expected to realize any significant gain or loss on disposal.

Land Held for Sales Incentives 

The Company acquired a land parcel consisting of 15 lots in the Cayman Islands in March 2010. As of March 31, 2015, the land value of approximately $0.9 million consisted of the contract price and land fill cost of approximately $3.6 million less a valuation allowance of approximately $2.7 million that was based on Management’s evaluation of the estimated fair value.

 

The investment in the land parcel in the Cayman Islands is intended to provide incentive rewards to the best performing DubLi Business Associates upon attaining certain performance objectives.

 

Depreciation

Depreciation expense was $56,424 and $49,660, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $104,576 and $99,287 for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Amounts due for services rendered are comprised of accrued compensation due to the officers of the Company and unpaid Board of Directors fees. Amounts due for advances and services rendered are non-interest bearing and have no terms of repayment.

 

8. Discontinued Operations

 

The Company discontinued all auction activities effective March 28, 2013. As a result, the operating results for the auctions program have been reclassified to income from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, revenues recognized from Credits breakage from inactive Business Associates amounted to approximately nil and $1.1 million, respectively, and during the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $249,000 and $4.3 million, respectively. All the costs associated with the Credits have been fully expensed as of the effective date of the termination. As a result, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations, net of taxes of approximately nil and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $249,000 and $4.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively.

 

Included in liabilities of discontinued operations at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 are unused Credits of approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

9. Income Taxes

 

We conduct business globally and report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our reported income tax rate was lower than the US federal statutory rate primarily due to lower income tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions where we operate, and as a result of net income or losses for the periods, the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

 

10. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

As of March 31, 2015, a total of approximately 3.6 million shares were committed for issuance and reflected as issued on the books of the Company, but stock certificates were not issued due to certain administrative and documentation requirements.

11. Stock Based Compensation 

 

The Company’s Omnibus Plan was approved on September 30, 2010 by Mr. Hansen, who was the Company’s majority stockholder at the time. An Information Statement including the Omnibus Plan has been filed with the SEC and a final information statement will be disseminated to all stockholders in compliance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Omnibus Plan’s participants include board members, executives, employees and certain consultants and advisers of the Company and the Omnibus Plan has been implemented in order to attract, incentivize and retain highly qualified individuals and keep the Company competitive with other companies with respect to executive compensation. Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be made to participants in the form of (i) incentive stock options; (ii) non-qualified stock Options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) deferred stock; (vi) stock awards; (vii) performance shares; (viii) other stock-based awards; and (ix) other forms of equity-based compensation as may be provided and are permissible under the Omnibus Plan and the law. A total of 50 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. As described above, the Company is effecting an action to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan to 100 million. 

 

Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $7,013 and $103,999, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, was $37,242 and $402,533, respectively.

On February 9, 2015, and as described in Note 5 – Land Held for Sale, the Company entered into a Property Sale Agreement – Memorandum of Understanding for a parcel of land in Dubai with an unaffiliated third party for approximately $1.25 million. Management anticipated that completion of the land sale would occur within ninety days from February 9, 2015 as stipulated in the Sale Agreement. As of May 9, 2015, certain documentation required to be filed with the recording authorities has not been completed. Management now anticipates that the completion of the land sale transaction will occur during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. However, there is no assurance that the land sale will be completed. In the event that the land sale does close, the Company is not expected to realize any significant gain or loss on disposal.

Introduction

 

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting: (i) our condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014; and (ii) financial liquidity and capital resources. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Report. 

 

Overview

 

DubLi, Inc. has created a framework for attracting and maintaining consumers through an E-commerce based shopping and travel community. The foundation of DubLi is based on technology that is adaptive to changes in the E-commerce marketplace, a global marketing platform and an expertise in understanding and capitalizing on international economic trends and changing consumer behaviors. The central hub of the DubLi community is DubLi.com; from which all other components of the business model are derived.

 

DubLi is a global E-commerce and network marketing company that operates an online shopping and travel portal through which our customers search and purchase products offered by various online stores, including consumer products, travel related products and services. Our online transactions are conducted through DubLi.com websites in Europe, North America, Australia and through a global portal serving the rest of the world. We have a large network of independent Business Associates that sell our various E-commerce products.

 

13
 

 

During October 2014, the Company introduced a promotional campaign during a sales conference event which offered additional commission incentives to incentivize our Business Associates to increase sales of our membership subscriptions through their respective network of Business Associates. The promotional campaign generated increased sales activity and as a result we reported an increase in revenues and a corresponding increase in cost of revenues (principally commissions) during the three months and six months ended March 31, 2015.

 

During the three months and six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our revenues from continuing operations were generated primarily from (a) business license fees paid by Business Associates and partner program participants; (b) membership subscription fees; (c) commission income from participating online shops and stores affiliated with our online Shopping Mall arising from the purchase transactions our customers generated; and (d) advertising and marketing programs. Our revenues from discontinued operations during the six months ended March 31, 2015 and, three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 were recognized from Credits breakage associated with inactive Business Associates. We did not recognize any revenues from Credits breakage during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

The components of revenues for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:

 

   March 31, 2015 
   Three Months   Six Months 
   Ended   Ended 
         
E-Commerce and Memberships        
Business license fees  $1,073,157   $2,087,432 
Membership subscription fees and commission income   2,681,251    5,578,491 
Advertising and marketing programs   70,152    898,872 
Other   5,998    11,892 
           
    3,830,558    8,576,687 
Discontinued operations   -    248,891 
           
Total revenues  $3,830,558   $8,825,578 

 

Revenues from business license fees paid by our Business Associates and partner program participants enable them to begin their sales operations of DubLi’s products. Our Business Associates no longer pay a monthly maintenance fee to remain as an active member effective March 2014. Our partner program participants continue to pay a monthly maintenance fee to remain as an active member.

 

Effective April 2014, our Business Associates were required to purchase our membership subscription products in the form of qualifying vouchers or membership packages for Business Associates or membership packages for DubLi’s customers as described below.

 

We offer one free membership package and two paid membership subscription packages (Premium and V.I.P.), to customers that enable them to earn cash back from all the purchases that they make online through our Shopping Malls. The Premium and V.I.P. membership subscription packages allow our customers to earn a higher percentage of cash back on their purchases. For the Premium member, we charge a monthly subscription fee and for the V.I.P. member we charge an annual subscription fee.

 

Through the purchase transactions our customers generated from participating online shops and stores via our Shopping Malls, we receive commission income from the participating merchants. We share this commission income with our customers in the form of cash back.

 

Our network marketing organization of Business Associates is represented in 127 countries throughout the world. We offer a wide variety of products and services to our Business Associates for them to market to their customers, many of whom are also recruited to become Business Associates themselves. Business Associates earn commissions on sales of products and services that they sell directly, and also on “downstream” sales of products and services made by Business Associates that they recruit into the marketing network. Business Associates also earn commissions on: (1) the sale of our Premium and V.I.P. Member subscriptions packages; and (2) purchase transactions from customers who shop in our online Shopping Malls.

 

Trends in Our Business

 

We continue to focus our resources on potentially more profitable programs in our E-commerce platform. Shopping transactions continue to shift from traditional to online retailers as the digital economy evolves. This shift has contributed to the growth of our business since inception, resulting in increased revenues. Although we expect our business to continue to grow, our revenues growth rate may not be sustainable over time due to a number of factors, including increasing competition, the difficulty of maintaining growth rates if our revenues increase to higher levels, and increasing maturity of the online shopping market. We plan to continue to invest in our core areas of strategic focus, but cannot provide any assurance that such investment will result in increased revenues or net income.

 

14
 

 

We have taken steps to improve and increase the products offered on our web site via direct signing of dedicated private-label merchants providing cash back shopping programs, travel related products and services, and an expanded global online Shopping Mall that provides a true worldwide shopping experience. We have begun to implement incentive offerings to attract new signups of customers to increase our commission income program and to introduce new advertising programs to increase our advertising revenues.

 

Seasonal fluctuations in Internet usage and traditional retail seasonality have affected our business, and are likely to continue to do so. Internet usage generally slows during the summer months, and shopping typically increases significantly during the holiday season in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. These seasonal trends have caused, and will likely continue to cause fluctuations in our quarterly results.

 

We continue to invest in our systems, data centers, corporate facilities, information technology infrastructure, and human resources. We expect the following to be important components in our business strategy: (i) acquisitions of compatible businesses; (ii) “Partner” programs whereby we partner with large retail customer bases interested in earning incremental revenues by co-branding our shopping and travel related web site; and (iii) expansion in new markets or countries. We also expect that the total cost of revenues will increase and may increase as a percentage of revenues in future periods, primarily because of forecasted increases in traffic acquisition costs, data center costs, credit card and other transaction fees, content acquisition costs and other costs.

 

As we expand our shopping programs and other products offered to international markets, we continue to increase our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency to US dollar exchange rates.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

 

Consolidated Results

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $2.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to a reduction in income from discontinued operations of approximately $1.0 million. Loss from continuing operations increased $0.8 million. Further discussions on the results from continuing operations and discontinued operations are provided in the following paragraphs.

 

Continuing Operations

 

Revenues were approximately $3.8 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in: (i) business license fees from Business Associates and partner program participants as a result of more sign-ups under the program; (ii) membership subscription fees from increased sales of membership packages partly from a promotional campaign undertaken during October 2014; and (iii) commission income received from online shops and stores as a result of higher purchase transactions by our customers shopping through our Shopping Malls.

 

Gross income was approximately $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as described above. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, gross income as a percentage of revenues (after adjusting for certain components of non-commission revenues of approximately $335,000 and $285,000, respectively) were approximately 32% and 47%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a promotional campaign the Company undertook which resulted in an additional bonus commission payout to Business Associates. No comparable promotion was undertaken during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

15
 

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses were approximately $3.0 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to approximately: (i) $0.4 million in outside service fees; and (ii) $0.3 million in payroll costs. Details of our SGA expenses are summarized as follows:

 

   For the three months ended March 31, 
   2015   2014   Change 
   (All amounts in $ thousands) 
     
Depreciation  $57   $49   $8 
Outside service fees   862    476    386 
Payroll costs   1,394    1,137    257 
Rent and office expenses   206    91    115 
Banking and processing fees   250    126    124 
Foreign exchange   (7)   (33)   26 
Travel expenses and others   211    111    100 
                
Total  $2,973   $1,957   $1,016 

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company did not recognize Credits breakage associated with inactive Business Associates during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $1.1 million recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

 

Our net revenues and related expenses generated from international locations are denominated in the functional currencies of the local countries, primarily in Euros. The results of operations and certain of our intercompany balances associated with our international locations are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The consolidated statements of operations of our international subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. The US dollar average rate strengthened against the Euro during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 which resulted in these exchange rate fluctuations decreasing the consolidated net revenues, operating expenses, loss from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.

 

At the beginning of fiscal year 2015, the Company had a deficit in net equity of approximately $22.8 million recorded in our foreign subsidiaries which used the Euro as its functional currency. As a result of the average translation rate of the Euro to US dollars at the beginning of fiscal year 2015 being stronger than the closing rate as of March 31, 2015 used for translation of the assets and liabilities, the foreign currency translation adjustment for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 represented a gain of approximately $1.2 million.

 

Six Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2014

 

Consolidated Results

 

Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $3.1 million as compared to a net income of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a reduction in income from discontinued operations of approximately $4.0 million and an increase in loss from continuing operations of approximately $0.3 million. Further discussions on the results from continuing operations and discontinued operations are provided in the following paragraphs.

 

Continuing Operations

 

Revenues were approximately $8.6 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in: (i) business license fees from Business Associates and partner program participants as a result of more sign-ups under the program; (ii) membership subscription fees from increased sales of membership packages partly from a promotional campaign undertaken during October 2014; (iii) commission income received from online shops and stores as a result of higher purchase transactions by our customers shopping through our Shopping Malls; and (iv) revenues recognized from breakage associated with inactive Business Associates under the advertising and marketing programs.

 

Gross income was approximately $2.9 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2015 as described above. During the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, gross income as a percentage of revenues (after adjusting for certain components of non-commission revenues of approximately $574,000 and $793,000, respectively) were approximately 38% and 50%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a promotional campaign the Company undertook which resulted in an additional bonus commission payout to Business Associates. No comparable promotion was undertaken during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

  

16
 

 

SGA expenses were approximately $6.3 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to approximately: (i) $0.8 million in outside service fees; and (ii) $0.7 million in banking and processing fees as a result of higher transactions processed. Details of our SGA expenses are summarized as follows:

 

   For the six months ended March 31, 
   2015   2014   Change 
   (All amounts in $ thousands) 
     
Advertising expenses  $17   $138   $(121)
Depreciation   105    99    6 
Outside service fees   1,902    1,086    816 
Payroll costs   2,527    2,423    104 
Rent and office expenses   283    547    (264)
Banking and processing fees   957    267    690 
Foreign exchange   13    (41)   54 
Travel expenses and others   472    198    274 
                
Total  $6,276   $4,717   $1,559 

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Income from discontinued operations was approximately $0.2 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues recognized for Credits breakage associated with inactive Business Associates.

 

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

 

Our net revenues and related expenses generated from international locations are denominated in the functional currencies of the local countries, primarily in Euros. The results of operations and certain of our intercompany balances associated with our international locations are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The consolidated statements of operations of our international subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. The US dollar average rate strengthened against the Euro during the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2014 which resulted in these exchange rate fluctuations decreasing the consolidated net revenues, operating expenses, loss from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.

 

At the beginning of fiscal year 2015, the Company had a deficit in net equity of approximately $22.8 million recorded in our foreign subsidiaries which used the Euro as its functional currency. As a result of the average translation rate of the Euro to US dollars at the beginning of fiscal year 2015 being stronger than the closing rate as of March 31, 2015 used for translation of the assets and liabilities, the foreign currency translation adjustment for the six months ended March 31, 2015 represented a gain of approximately $1.7 million.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

We incurred accumulated losses for the period from our inception through March 31, 2015 of approximately $40.7 million. We continue to require additional financing to meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements. We can provide no assurance that such additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon our business plan and pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We continue to update our product offerings which places additional demands on future cash flows and may decrease liquidity as we improve our systems. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including market acceptance of our revised operations and revenues generated from such operations, competitive pressures, and acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses. We intend to increase our marketing efforts in order to grow our network of Business Associates which we expect will improve sales of our E-commerce products. These marketing efforts will place additional demands on our cash flows and liquidity. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful in generating revenues from operations; adequately dealing with competitive pressures; acquiring complementary products, technologies or business; or increasing our marketing efforts.

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with two unaffiliated foreign private investors for the sale of 20 million shares of common stock at $0.10 per share (“Stock Transaction”) for a total cash consideration of $2 million. The Stock Transaction closed on May 12, 2015.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we owed Mr. Hansen a total of approximately $4.1 million in loans and advances. Mr. Hansen has also provided a revolving loan commitment to fund the Company up to $5 million through December 31, 2015 of which $3.5 million remains available.

 

The Company is pursuing the sale of a parcel of land in Dubai for approximately $1.25 million. Management anticipated that the completion of the land sale would occur within ninety days from February 9, 2015, the date of the Sale Agreement – Memorandum of Understanding which was entered into with an unaffiliated purchaser. As of May 9, 2015, certain documentation required to be filed with the recording authorities has not been completed. Management now anticipates that the completion of the land sale transaction will occur during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. However, there is no assurance that the land sale will be completed.

Cash in Foreign Subsidiaries

 

The Company has significant operations outside the United States (“US”). As a result, cash generated by and used in the Company's foreign operations is used only in amounts sufficient to pay general and administrative expenses in the US, or to fund certain US operational costs. As of March 31, 2015, the Company held approximately $0.4 million of unrestricted and approximately $1.4 million of restricted cash in foreign subsidiaries.

 

Should foreign cash be repatriated, the Company will be subject to US tax at the applicable US federal statutory rate on the amount treated as a dividend for US income tax purposes. Dividend treatment will largely be the result of the collective financial position of the foreign subsidiaries at the time of repatriation. Any US income tax attributable to repatriated earnings may be offset by foreign income taxes paid on such earnings. Due to the significance of our foreign operations, the Company does not presently foresee a need to repatriate foreign cash in excess of our US funding needs.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Sale of Land in Dubai

As of May 9, 2015, certain documentation required to be filed with the recording authorities has not been completed. Management now anticipates that the completion of the land sale transaction will occur during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. However, there is no assurance that the land sale will be completed.

On May 6, 2015 the Company filed a preliminary information statement on Schedule 14c (“Information Statement”) with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a final information statement will be disseminated to all stockholders to effect the above actions in compliance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The information to be reported under this item is not required of smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, as a result of our principal executive officer’s and principal financial and accounting officer’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014, we identified the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014. These material weaknesses had not been remediated as of March 31, 2015. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Plans

 

To address the identified material weakness discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014, we have taken the following measures:

 

1.Engaged an internal audit firm to assist with control assessment and remediation;
2.Commenced a reorganization of our finance, accounting and other support staff to improve work flow and enhance internal controls;
3.Hired a Director of Compliance to evaluate and implement corrective action on our material weaknesses; and
4.Hired a Vice President of Information Technology to oversee and implement proper internal control over IT and our business operating systems.

  

In addition, we have improved or are in the process of improving our internal controls as follows:

 

Control Environment

(a)We have implemented a whistle-blower program and are in the process of implementing other programs to identify and manage fraud risks;
(b)Formalized job descriptions have been developed for all finance and accounting personnel that specifically: (i) identify required financial reporting roles, responsibilities, and necessary competencies; and (ii) clarify responsibilities for maintaining our internal controls over financial information; and
(c)We have increased the utilization of the features and controls provided in our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system and reduce the use of spreadsheets.

 

Monitoring of internal control over financial reporting, and period end financial closing

(a)We continue to review and update our policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting operations;
(b)We are completing a risk assessment process in order to improve our monitoring function in conjunction with our ERP system; and
(c)We are developing forecasts and plans by which our Management can measure achievement against formalized benchmarks.

 

If the remedial measures described above are insufficient to address any of the identified material weaknesses or are not implemented effectively, or additional deficiencies arise in the future, material misstatements in our interim or annual consolidated financial statements may occur in the future and we may continue to be delinquent in our filings. We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Key factors in the success of our remediation efforts are our ability to recruit and retain qualified individuals, and to make the investments required to enhance our financial reporting systems. Therefore, the success of our remediation efforts will also be dependent in part upon our ability to obtain sufficient funding. Among other things, any un-remediated material weaknesses could result in material post-closing adjustments in future financial statements.
