QUEPASA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Quepasa Corporation (the Company), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated in June 1997. The Company is a Spanish/English language Internet portal and online community targeting the U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets. The Companys web site provides users search engine capabilities and performance based marketing applications as well as traditional portal services centered around the Spanish market. The quepasa.com web site is operated and managed by the Companys majority owned Mexico-based subsidiary, Quepasa.com de Mexico S.A. de C.V. Because the language preference of many U.S. Hispanics is English, the web site also offers users the ability to access information and services in the English language.
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required to be included in a complete set of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Companys 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Since the Company incurred a net loss in all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share since the effect of including them is anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the number of dilutive securities outstanding for each of the periods presented, but not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 will be effective on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 but does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

Note 2Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
The Company leases its facilities under three non-cancelable operating leases which expire in 2007 and 2009. Future minimum lease payments under these leases as of June 30, 2007 are approximately as follows:
2007 |
$ | 196,000 | |
2008 |
334,000 | ||
2009 |
135,000 | ||
Total |
$ | 665,000 | |
Litigation
On March 14, 2005, Mr. Craig Behar filed a complaint against the Company in Maricopa County Superior Court (case no. CV2005-004439) in Phoenix, Arizona. The complaint contains allegations of breach of contract and unpaid wages and seeks damages under various causes of action in amounts up to $311,400. The Company has reviewed Mr. Behars complaint with its counsel and finds the claims to be wholly without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. Moreover, management believes that the amount of damages claimed by Mr. Behar have been grossly overstated in an attempt to induce the Company to settle the action rather than to proceed to litigation.
In addition, the Company is a party to certain other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to its business. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience, management does not believe that the currently pending and threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations in any future reporting periods.

On June 27, 2007, the stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan). All stock options previously granted under the 2006 Plan that were subject to stockholder approval are now outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Plan, the Company may issue up to 3,700,000 shares of common stock plus an additional number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares previously granted under the 1998 Stock Option Plan that either terminate, expire, or lapse after the date of the Board of Directors approval of the 2006 Plan. As of June 30, 2007, there are 4,356,875 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Plan, eligible individuals may be granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or stock grant awards. In June 2007, the Company granted 32,500 unrestricted shares of common stock to its directors pursuant to the 2006 Plan.
A summary of employee stock option activity under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007 is as follows:

The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Companys common stock. The Company has elected to use the simplified method described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, Share-Based Payment, to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The fair value of each employee stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
For the Three Months Ended June 30, |
||||||
2007 | 2006 | |||||
Risk-free interest rate: |
5.0 | % | 4.9 | % | ||
Expected term: |
6 Years | 6 years | ||||
Expected dividend yield: |
0 | % | 0 | % | ||
Expected volatility: |
153 | % | 98 | % |
The Company recognized compensation expense for the issuance of options and warrants of $569,134 and $330,402 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense of $834,657 and $549,635, respectively.
As of June 30, 2007, there was $2,281,980 in total unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.47 years.
Note 4Restatement of Interim Financial Information
In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company identified accounting errors related to its accounting for stock options and warrants during 2006. Accordingly, the Company has restated its interim financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company revisited the assumptions applied in its valuation of certain warrants and stock option awards. Upon review of the assumptions applied during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, it was determined that certain assumptions related to the expected term and volatility used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model needed correction. These corrections resulted in a charge of $174,899, which resulted in an increase in net loss of $174,899 or ($0.02) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and a charge of $4,843,467, which resulted in an increase in net loss of $4,843,467 or ($0.60) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company determined that certain reclassifications between operating expense line items on the consolidated statements of operations were required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. These reclassifications had no effect on total operating expenses or net loss. The restatements had no effect on the Companys cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation |
Forward-Looking Information
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are included in Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results may differ materially because of the factors discussed in the subsection below titled Risk Factors.
Company Overview
Quepasa.com is one of the largest and longest-established, bicultural, Hispanic online communities. We seek to entertain, enrich, and empower the members of our rapidly growing Internet community. Our interactive website delivers content, products, and services to our users in both English and Spanish. We focus our business on our online social network which is comprised chiefly of Hispanic and Latino 18-to-34 year olds living in the United States and in Central and South America.
As a result of the implementation of our new business model we intend to provide an increasing array of products and services such as videos, music, ringtones, chat, email and online dating to our website visitors that are designed to promote social interaction and information sharing. These products and services are designed to attract and adhere traffic to our website. During 2007, as a result of increased traffic on our website, we determined that our technology infrastructure required substantial upgrades in order to meet the increased demand and to continue to scale our performance for our users. Our intention during 2007 is to introduce a more robust website with a variety of products and services that grow and produce positive cash flows. We expect these products and services to drive visitors to our website. As traffic grows, we expect an increasing number of major consumer product firms, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and other enterprises seeking a nexus with the emerging Hispanic market. We intend to actively pursue such advertising by mounting a sales program targeting large advertising agencies and their clients.
During 2006 and through the second quarter of 2007, we had significant performance growth on our website. The areas of growth we experienced on the site included page views, registered members, and unique visitors. Total page views for the second quarter of 2007 were 91 million, compared to 37 million for the same period in 2006, a 146% increase. Total new members for the second quarter of 2007 were 33 thousand, compared to 25 thousand for the same period in 2006, a 32% increase. Daily unique visitors for the second quarter 2007 totaled 3.7 million, compared to 1.8 million for the same period in 2006, a 106% increase.
We have restated our interim financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. We revisited the assumptions applied in our valuation of certain warrants and stock option awards. Upon review of the assumptions applied during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, it was determined that certain assumptions related to the expected term and volatility used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model needed correction. These corrections resulted in a charge of $174,899, which resulted in an increase in net loss of $174,899 or ($0.02) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and a charge of $4,843,467, which resulted in an increased in net loss of $4,843,467 or (20.60) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition, we determined that certain reclassifications between operating expense line items on the consolidated statements of operations were required for the three months ended June 30, 2006. These reclassifications had no effect on total operating expenses or net loss. The restatements had no effect on our cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006. See Note 4 - Restatement of Interim Financial Information.
Revenue sources
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, our revenue was generated from three principal sources: revenue earned from the sale of banner advertising on our website, the Google AdSense program, and subscription sales. During the same period for the six months ended June 30, 2006, our revenue also included revenue earned from performance based insertion of results from our directory and search engine based on proprietary technologies.
Banner Advertising Revenue. Banner revenue is generated when an advertiser purchases a banner placement within our quepasa.com website. We recognize revenue related to banner advertisements upon delivery.
Google AdSense Revenue. Google AdSense revenue is generated when a quepasa.com user clicks on a Google advertiser through either the displayed advertisements associated with content or by utilizing the Google search feature. We recognize revenue from Google AdSense in the period it is reported by Google.
Subscription Sales . As part of the new business model, subscription sales result from the purchase of mobile content and Internet television programming. Subscription based sales are generated through various content channels of the site, including the ringtone store and the television channel. We recognize revenue from subscription sales as products and services are delivered.
Performance-based Revenue . Performance-based revenue, or paid search results, is generated when an Internet user searches for a keyword and clicks on an advertisers listing on our website. Performance-based revenue is recognized in the period in which the click-throughs occur. Click-throughs are defined as the number of times a user clicks on an advertisement or search result. Performance-based revenue is recognized when there is evidence that the qualifying transactions have occurred at a set price. As of December 31, 2006, the performance based revenue model was discontinued as a result of implementing the new business model.
9
The majority of our revenues correlate to the number and activity level of users on our website. During 2006 and into the second quarter of 2007, we redesigned and enhanced our website to provide a more relevant and user friendly experience. We believe that enhancing the user experience leads to a more valuable experience to both our users and advertisers and provides additional opportunities to introduce users to our products and services. By providing a more robust community experience, while providing continued new products and services we seek to become an essential part of our users online experience. We believe this deeper engagement of new and existing users and our website design, coupled with the growth of the Internet as an advertising medium will increase our revenues in 2007.
Operating Expenses
Our principal operating expenses consist of:
| search services expenses; |
| product and content development expenses; |
| sales and marketing expenses; |
| general and administrative expenses; and |
| depreciation and amortization. |
Search Services Expenses. Our search services expenses consist of payments made to our affiliates and partners that have either integrated our performance based search services into their sites or provided traffic to our directory listings. There are generally two economic structures of the affiliate and partner agreements: fixed payments based on a minimum amount of traffic delivered and variable payments based on the amount of searches or paid clicks associated with affiliate or partner traffic. We expense search services costs under two methods; fixed payments are expensed pro-rata over the term of the agreement and agreements based on a percentage of revenue are expensed based on the underlying revenue multiplied by the agreed upon rate. As of December 31, 2006, we have discontinued our search services.
Product and Content Development Expenses. Product and content development expenses consist of personnel costs associated with the development, testing and upgrading of our website and systems, content fees, and purchases of specific technology, particularly software and hardware related to our infrastructure upgrade.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses of marketing and sales personnel, and other marketing-related expenses including our mass media-based branding and advertising.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs related to corporate personnel, occupancy costs, general operating costs and corporate professional fees, such as legal and accounting fees. As we move forward with our new business model, we anticipate an increase in general operating expenses, specifically, administrative salaries and dues and subscriptions and we anticipate a decrease in certain expenses, specifically, professional fees related to costs associated with business advisory services and financial consulting services.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Our depreciation and amortization expenses have consisted primarily of depreciation related to our property and equipment and the amortization pertaining to jet rights acquired in 2006.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest earned and earned grant income. We have invested our cash in money market funds and interest bearing checking and saving accounts, which are subject to minimal credit and market risk. Earned grant income represents the amortized portion of a cash grant received from the Mexican government for approved capital expenditures. The grant is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the purchased assets.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 with the three and six months ended June 30, 2006
Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were characterized by expenses that significantly exceeded revenues during the periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we reported net losses of $3.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively, compared to net losses of $1.1 million and $7.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $569 thousand and $835 thousand, respectively, in expenses related to issuance of stock options and warrants compared to $330 thousand and $6.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, $5.6 million represented costs associated with certain strategic initiatives, including acquiring the services of the Companys Chief Executive Officer. In addition, we focused on evaluating and enhancing our business infrastructure resulting in an increase in professional fees of $729 thousand and $1.8 million, an increase in travel and entertainment of $128 thousand and $271 thousand and an increase in dues and subscriptions of $53 thousand and $124 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, over the same periods in 2006. As a result, we increased our product and content development related expenses by approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million, sales and marketing expense increased by $226 thousand and $666 thousand, and depreciation and amortization by $83 thousand and $154 thousand, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, over the same periods in 2006.

Revenues
We generated $73 thousand of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $11 thousand, or 13%, from the $84 thousand of revenue generated for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 we generated $126 thousand of revenue, a decrease of $122 thousand or 49% from $248 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These changes are attributable to a decrease in performance-based revenue partially offset by increases in banner advertising and Google AdSense revenue. In order to generate significant revenue under the new business model, we must continue to enhance the development and marketing of our banner advertising inventory. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our revenue was primarily generated from banner advertising.
Banner Advertising Revenue. Banner advertising revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by approximately $55 thousand, or 1,833 %, compared to the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 banner advertising revenue increased by approximately $82 thousand, or twelve fold, from $10 thousand in the prior year. We currently expect banner advertising revenue to increase for 2007 compared to 2006 as we increase our user base and activity levels on our website. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, banner advertising revenue accounted for approximately 79% and 73% of total revenue, respectively, compared to 4% and 4% in 2006.
Google AdSense. Google AdSense revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by approximately $2 thousand, or 15%, as compared to the prior year as a result of the increase in user traffic. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Google AdSense revenue decreased by approximately $10 thousand, or 23%, as compared to the prior year as a result of the change from the old business model. We currently expect Google AdSense revenue to increase for 2007 compared to 2006 as we increase our user base and activity levels on our website. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Google AdSense revenue accounted for approximately 21% and 26% of total revenue, respectively, compared to 16% and 17% in 2006.
Performance-based Revenue. Performance-based revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by approximately $67 thousand, or 100 %, as compared to the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 performance based revenue decreased by approximately $196 thousand, or 100 %, as a result of the change from the old business model. During 2006, we shifted our business model from the less profitable performance based revenue to a banner advertising revenue model. As of December 31, 2006, we have discontinued our performance based services.
Subscription Sales. Subscription based revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 resulted in approximately 0% of total revenues. Subscription based sales were generated through various content channels of the site, including the ringtone store and the television channel.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Search Services. Search services expenses decreased $47 thousand and $165 thousand, or 100 %, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. This change is attributable to a discontinuation of our expenses related to online distribution agreements and corresponds to the discontinued performance based revenue at the end of 2006.
We do not intend to incur any search services expenses during 2007 as a result of the changes in our new business model.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased $226 thousand, or 254%, to $315 thousand, from $89 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, sales and marketing expense increased $666 thousand, or 476%, to $806 thousand from $140 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006. During 2007, as a result of expanding our sales and marketing efforts to acquire more advertisers and traffic, our expense increased compared to 2006. In 2007 we maintained sales offices in New York City and Miami and hired sales and marketing personnel to bolster our sales initiatives. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in commission expense related to the decline in revenue.
We currently believe that sales and marketing expenses will increase in 2007 compared to 2006, as we continue to grow and expand our reach to advertisers and users.
Product and Content Development. Product and content development expenses increased $1.1 million, or 480%, to $1.3 million from $231 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, product and content development expenses increased $1.9 million, or 465%, to $2.3 million from $413 thousand for the same period in 2006. As a result of our efforts to evaluate and upgrade our technology infrastructure, we had significant increases in our product and content development expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, these higher expense costs consisted mainly of increases in technology consulting of $829 thousand, increases associated with technology personnel of $576 thousand, and increases in our Mexico operations of $256 thousand. Quepasa.com de Mexico provides substantially all of our design, translation services, and website management and development services for us.
We currently believe that product and content development expenses will increase significantly in 2007 compared to 2006, as we continue to invest in our infrastructure and personnel to provide an enhanced product to our users and advertisers.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation related expenses (including stock-based compensation), salaries, travel and entertainment, dues and subscriptions expense, and professional fees.
11
General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million, or 174%, to $2.1 million, from $762 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 47%, to $3.9 million from $7.4 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease is primarily attributed to the decrease in compensation for certain strategic initiatives, including acquiring the services of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease is partially offset by increases professional fees, recruiting fees and salaries associated with building and enhancing our business.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was offset by the increases in the following areas for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006:
| An increase in general and administrative salaries of $94 thousand, or 78%, to $214 thousand, from $120 thousand for the prior year. This increase is driven by our increased staffing during 2006 and the second quarter 2007 as we build and enhance our internal services and administrative and accounting functions. |
| An increase in recruiting fees of $268 thousand, to $282 thousand from $14 thousand for the prior year and an increase in stock compensation expense of $178 thousand, or 61%, to $470 thousand from $292 thousand or the prior year. These increases are driven by the increased hiring during the second quarter 2007. |
| An increase in professional fees expense of approximately $325 thousand, or 239%, to $464 thousand, from $136 thousand for the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable an increase in technology consulting of $369 thousand, an increase in accounting fees of $209 thousand and an increase in legal fees of $139 thousand compared the prior year. These increases were required in order to enhance and our technology infrastructure and improve our accounting and legal compliance and corporate governance. |
| An increase in travel and entertainment of $117 thousand, or 325%, to $153 thousand from $36 thousand for the prior year, an increase in dues and subscriptions of $53 thousand, or 126%, to $95 thousand from $42 thousand for the prior year and an increase in printing, postage and reproduction of $101 thousand, to $102 thousand from $1 thousand for the prior year. These increases are mainly attributable to our overall growth as we build and enhance our business. |
We currently believe that general and administrative expenses, excluding non-recurring stock-based compensation charges, will increase in 2007 compared to 2006, as we continue to invest in our infrastructure to support our continued business expansion.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $84 thousand, or 420 %, to $104 thousand from $20 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, depreciation and amortization expense increased $154 thousand, or 367%, to $196 thousand from $42 thousand for the same period in 2006. This increase is attributable to the depreciation associated with recent capital purchases and approximately $50 thousand in amortization expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, related to corporate jet rights received as part of the agreement with Mexicans & Americans Thinking Together.
We have purchased and expect to continue purchasing the capital equipment we need to sustain and build our infrastructure as our user growth and product requirements expand. As a result, we expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase in 2007 and beyond as we invest in capital equipment related to our enterprise growth.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) primarily consists of interest income offset by interest expense. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $124 thousand, to $132 thousand from $8 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, other income increased $295 thousand to $310 thousand from $15 thousand for the same period in 2006. The increased income is mainly attributable to the additional interest earned on cash and cash equivalents.

We have substantial capital resource requirements and have generated significant losses since our inception. At June 30, 2007, we had $9.3 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $14.1 million at December 31, 2006.
12
We invest excess cash predominately in marketable securities that are liquid. We also invest excess cash to support our growing infrastructure needs and to expand our operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we obtained gross proceeds of $835 thousand from the exercise of stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we obtained gross proceeds of $1.1 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants. We intend to operate through a combination of cost savings and increased revenue and believe that our current cash balances, cash generated from our operations, strategic acquisitions, and our financing activities are sufficient to finance our level of operations through the next twelve months.
Cash flow changes
Cash used in operating activities is driven by our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items. Non-cash adjustments include depreciation, warrants issued for strategic initiatives, including an executive acquisition, and other stock-based compensation expense. Net cash used in operations was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used by operations consisted primarily of a net loss of $6.8 million offset by non-cash expenses of $196 thousand in depreciation and amortization plus $1.0 million related to the issuance of stock options and common stock to directors. Additionally, changes in working capital impacted the net cash used in operating activities. These changes included an increase in accounts payable of $687 thousand and other assets of $90 thousand offset by decreases in trade accounts receivable of $10 thousand, other current assets of $96 thousand and accrued expenses of $155 thousand. Net cash used by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 consisted of a net loss of $7.9 million offset by non-cash expenses of $42 thousand in depreciation and amortization plus $5.6 million related to the issuance of warrants for strategic initiatives, including an executive acquisition and $1.1 million related to the issuance of stock options and warrants for compensation. Changes in working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included decreases in accounts receivable of $36 thousand, accrued expenses of $61 thousand, other assets of $21 thousand and deferred revenue of $29 thousand offset by increases in accounts payable of $106 thousand and other current assets of $9 thousand.
Net cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures were $614 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to capital expenditures of $72 thousand for the same period in 2006. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily a result of our purchase of certain hardware to support our expanding operations.
Net cash provided by financing activities is driven by our financing activities related to stock option and warrant exercises. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants were $913 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1 million, for the same period in 2006.
Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures have generally been comprised of purchases of computer hardware, software, server equipment, furniture and fixtures. Capital expenditures were $614 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $72 thousand for the same period in 2006. Our capital expenditures in 2007 are expected to increase compared to 2006 levels as we continue to invest in the expansion of our product and services offerings. We anticipate that this increased level of expenditure will continue in the future as business conditions merit.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
On November 20, 2006, in connection with a financing transaction, the Company entered into a Corporate Sponsorship and Management Services Agreement (the CSMSA) with an investor and a foundation formed and controlled by the investor (the Organization) The CSMSA provides that the Company will develop, operate and host the Organization website and provide to it all the services necessary to conduct such operations. During the first three years of the term of the CSMSA, the Organization will reimburse the Company for its costs and expenses in providing these services, not to exceed $500 thousand per annum. The CSMSA further provides that the Company will pay the Organization operating costs through October 2016 (including certain special event costs commencing in year four), up to $1.2 million per annum, minus the Companys costs and expenses for providing the services described above. Through the six months ended June 30, 2007, the net cash outflows related to the CSMSA were $125 thousand.
Recent Acquisition
On February 7, 2007, the Company purchased certain assets of corazones.com. We acquired all existing registered users, the domains corazones.com and corazonesdemexico.com, the existing operating system including the interface, administrative and billing systems and the related logos and trademarks of the associated properties.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management must often make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Some of the judgments can be subjective and complex, and actual results could differ from those estimates.
13
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense.
We account for stock-based compensation using the fair value method outlined by SFAS 123R. Accordingly, we recognize stock-based compensation for the estimated fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant and recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the service period of the award. Prior to SFAS 123R adoption, we accounted for share-based payments under APB 25 and accordingly, recognized stock-based compensation expense using the intrinsic value method.
The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Companys common stock. The Company has elected to use the simplified method described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, Share-Based Payment, to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See Note 3 Stock Option Plans and Note 4 Restatement of Interim Financial Information for additional information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 will be effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 but does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.
Forward-looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 3. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Companys management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of that date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of 13a-15 or 15d-15 were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as a result of certain weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting, which the Company views as an integral part of its disclosure controls and procedures.
Remediation of Certain Weaknesses and Changes in Internal Controls
As discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, during the financial reporting process for the fiscal year end December 31, 2006, certain weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting were identified, including inadequate documentation of policies, procedures, and internal controls; weaknesses in information technology controls and procedures; a lack of sufficient accounting personnel and expertise to address the Companys expanding and increasingly complex financial reporting needs; and incorrect accounting treatment of certain expenses and equity issuances.
The Company is addressing these identified weaknesses by, among other things, conducting a search for additional and more experienced accounting and finance staff to bolster the Companys internal capabilities and expertise; recently hiring a Chief Technology Officer and outside consultant to address information technology controls and procedures; increased oversight of the Companys operations in Mexico; improving the Companys technology related to its business and operations; and undertaking to systemically resolve such weaknesses in consultation with its independent auditor.
Through the period ended June 30, 2007, management augmented its internal accounting resources by using external resources in connection with its review and completion of the financial reporting process. Management believes that there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact and, to the best of its knowledge, believes that the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations for the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Certain of the personnel changes described above occurred during the fourth quarter of 2006. Other than as described above, there have not been any other changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the Companys disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
On March 14, 2005, Mr. Craig Behar filed a complaint against the Company in Maricopa County Superior Court (case no. CV2005-004439) in Phoenix, Arizona. The complaint contains allegations of breach of contract and unpaid wages and seeks damages under various causes of action in amounts up to $311,400. The Company has reviewed Mr. Behars complaint with its counsel and finds the claims to be wholly without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. Moreover, management believes that the amount of damages claimed by Mr. Behar have been grossly overstated in an attempt to induce the Company to settle the action rather than to proceed to litigation.
In addition, we are party to certain other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience, our management does not believe that the currently pending and threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, cashflows or results of operations in any future reporting periods.
