TIPPT Media Inc.

On December 23, 2011, the Company obtained a sixty-five (65%) percent ownership interest in TIPPT Media Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TIPPT”), which will sell coupons and/or discount codes on behalf of third parties by engaging individuals with a public profile to promote products via internet-based social networking and microblogging websites and other similar internet-based methods of electronic communications.   In consideration for its investment in TIPPT, the Company paid $2,000 in cash, forgave the repayment of a $250 promissory note owed to the Company by TIPPT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the minority stockholder of TIPPT, and agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to 115% of the 20-day trading average of the Company’s common stock if certain performance conditions are met within four months of the closing of the transaction.  The Company deems it probable that these performance conditions will be met.  The shares of common stock exercisable under the warrant were valued at $2,378 using the Black Scholes valuation model.  The Company recorded the value of these shares of common stock to intangible assets and current liabilities and will reclassify the liability to equity upon meeting the performance conditions.  The warrant value will be marked to market until the warrants are earned.  At December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a mark to market valuation increase of $324 recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a five-year Line of Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Company may provide advances to TIPPT to finance its working capital obligations, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000, with an interest rate not to exceed four percent (4%) per annum.  The facility is secured by the remaining 35% of the common shares of TIPPT Media, Inc. owned by TIPPT, LLC, subject to release under certain circumstances described in the loan agreement in the event the shares are converted into common shares of FNCX.  The credit facility may be drawn for approved expenses in accordance with the budget approved at the time of the commitment, as updated quarterly.  In addition, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement with TIPPT LLC regarding, among other things, restrictions on the transfer of shares in TIPPT and the potential exchange under certain circumstances of all or a portion of the 35% interest in TIPPT held by TIPPT LLC into the Company’s common stock.

The Company determined that immediately before the transaction , the activities of TIPPT did not constitute a business.  Therefore, the Company accounted for the TIPPT transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.

Loyalize

On December 31, 2011, in furtherance of its business plan, the Company, through a newly created wholly owned subsidiary, FN(x) I Holding Corporation,  now known as Loyalize Inc (“FN(x)I” or “Loyalize”), purchased from Trusted Opinion Inc. (“Trusted Opinion”), substantially all of its assets, including certain intellectual property and other assets relating to the “Loyalize” business owned by Trusted Opinion, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement executed by the Company and FN(x) I on such date (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) .  In consideration for its purchase of the such assets, the Company agreed to pay Trusted Opinion $3,000 in cash and agreed to deliver 275,038 of the Company’s common shares as follows:  65,254 shares delivered directly to Seller within three business days of delivery of the financial statements and 209,784 shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) delivered within three business days of closing to American Stock Transfer and Trust Company LLC, as escrow agent, to be held until December 31, 2012 to secure certain representations, warranties and indemnities given by Trusted Opinion under the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The Company valued the 275,038 common shares as of the date of closing at $1,719 based on the $6.25 per share closing price of its common stock on the date of closing.  In addition to certain minor purchase price adjustments to be made post-closing, the Company is obligated to also fund as a purchase price adjustment the difference, if any, by which $1,839 exceeds the calculated value (computed based on the average closing price of the Company’s common shares during the 20 days prior to December 31, 2012) of the 275,038 shares on December 31, 2012, either in cash or in common shares of the Company, at the Company’s option.  Such additional consideration shall not be payable until claims which remain subject to determination and secured by all the Escrowed Shares are no longer outstanding.  The additional consideration shall be eliminated to the extent final claims exceed the value of the shares then remaining in escrow.
