EXPLANATORY NOTE

This quarterly report contains the restated condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and the effects of the restated condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and from September 11, 2009 (date of inception) through March 31, 2013.  Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail.

On August 26, 2013, after consulting with the Company’s Audit Committee and with the Company’s newly appointed Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Marcum LLP, management changed its accounting for certain of the Company’s warrants previously issued in connection with preferred stock and common stock and conversion features related to previously issued convertible notes which were recorded in periods prior to the engagement of Marcum LLP in order to comply with US GAAP. Such warrants and the embedded conversion options should have been reflected as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets included in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “Annual Report”) and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2012,  June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013 (the “Quarterly Reports”), rather than as a component of equity. In addition, management determined that the Company had not properly accreted compensation expense for certain restricted stock grants in 2012. Within the quarterly report as Form 10-Q, the company also corrected certain errors in our Condensed statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a result of this change in accounting treatment, the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file amendments to the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports as soon as possible.

Specifically, the change in treatment of the warrants and the conversion feature embedded in certain convertible notes and the accretion of stock compensation will result in a change to the equity, and liability portions of the consolidated balance sheets at the aforementioned reporting dates and will result in a gain or loss on the fair value of the derivative liabilities and additional stock compensation expense which will impact results of operations and earnings (loss) per share as reported in our statement of operations for such periods.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Blue Calypso, Inc. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) is engaged in the development and monetization of technology and intellectual property focused on digital word-of-mouth marketing and advertising. The Company has developed a patented platform which enables brands to leverage customer and employee relationships in order to increase brand loyalty and drive revenue. 

The Company has been presented as a "development stage enterprise.” The Company’s primary activities since inception, have been the design and development of its products, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital. The Company has not commenced its principal operations, nor has it generated significant revenues from its operations since inception.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2013, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from September 11, 2009 (inception) to June 30, 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2013. 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues, and has incurred net losses since inception. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,424,623  and a working capital deficit of $1,134,895. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company used net cash in operating activities of approximately $1,240,000. The Company believes that its current cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its projected  operating requirements through December  2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the issuance of common shares and preferred shares to its initial investors, proceeds from the issuance of convertible secured debentures, the sale of common stock and debentures  in private placements and the issuance of common stock as payment of fees for services from third parties. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS (continued)

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013, management changed its accounting for certain of the Company’s warrants previously issued in connection with preferred stock and common stock and conversion features related to previously issued convertible notes which were recorded in prior periods in order to comply with US GAAP. Such warrants and the embedded conversion options should have been reflected as derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets included in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “Annual Report”) and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2012,  June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013 (the “Quarterly Reports”), rather than as a component of equity. In addition, management determined that the Company had not properly accreted compensation for certain shares of restricted stock granted in 2012. Within this quarterly report as Form 10-Q, the company also corrected certain errors within the condensed statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a result of this change in accounting treatment, the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file amendments to the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports as soon as possible.

Specifically, the change in treatment of the warrants and the conversion feature embedded in certain convertible notes and accretion the of stock based compensation will result in a change to the equity, and liability portions of the consolidated balance sheets at the aforementioned reporting dates and will result in an increase in operating expenses and a gain or loss on the fair value of the derivative liabilities which will impact results of operations and earnings (loss) per share as reported in our statement of operations for such periods. 

The effects of the revision on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is summarized below:

The effects of the above described adjustments resulted in a change in the net gain or loss for the three month period March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013, six month periods June 30, 2012. The inception to date through March 31, 2013.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, fair values relating to warrant and other derivative liabilities, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparison purposes to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:

Preferred Stock

Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares, which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity. At all other times, the Company classifies its preferred shares in stockholders’ deficiency.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company does not have any preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption outstanding.

Convertible Instruments

GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

Common Stock Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company's own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

The Company’s free standing derivatives consist of warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with its private placement transactions (see Note 7) and embedded conversion options with convertible notes. The Company evaluated these derivatives to assess their proper classification in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under GAAP. The Company determined that certain common stock purchase warrants and the embedded conversion features do not contain fixed settlement provisions.  The exercise price of such warrants is subject to adjustment in the event that the Company subsequently issues equity securities or equity linked securities with exercise prices lower than the exercise price in these warrants. The convertible notes contained a conversion feature such that the Company could not ensure it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands.

As such, the Company was required to record the warrants and debt derivative which do not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value at the end of each reporting period.   

The Company has adopted a sequencing policy that reclassifies contracts (from equity to assets or liabilities) with the most recent inception date first. Thus any available shares are allocated first to contracts with the most recent inception dates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.  Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3— inputs that are unobservable based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Financial liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The Company determined that the warrants issued in connection with certain financing transactions and certain conversion options related to convertible notes did not have fixed settlement provisions and are deemed to be derivative financial instruments, since the exercise prices were subject to adjustment based on certain subsequent equity issuances. Accordingly, the Company was required to record the warrants and conversion option as liabilities and mark all such derivatives to fair value each reporting period. Such instruments were classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair value of the warrants and the conversion options was calculated using a binomial lattice formula with the following weighted average assumptions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013:

The risk-free interest rate is the United States Treasury rate on the measurement date having a term equal to the remaining contractual life of the warrant. The volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s share price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Since the Company’s common stock has not been publicly traded for a long period of time, an average of the historical volatility of comparative companies was used. The dividend yield is 0% as the Company has not made any dividend payment and has no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who reports to the Chief Executive Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures.

The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and are approved by the Chief Executive Officer.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Significant observable and unobservable inputs include stock price, exercise price, annual risk free rate, term, and expected volatility, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. An increase or decrease in volatility or interest free rate, in isolation, can significantly increase or decrease the fair value of the warrant. Changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of the following:

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE

May 6, 2013 convertible debentures

On May 6, 2013, the Company issued a convertible debenture in exchange for cash proceeds of $2,400,000 (the “Debenture”).  The Debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, is due two years from the issuance date and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.25 per share.  In connection with the Debenture, the Company granted the note holder an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $254,400.  The aggregate grant date fair value of the common stock was applied to the principal amount of the Debentures to determine the debt discount. Accordingly, the Company allocated $224,382 of the proceeds to the relative fair value of the common stock on the grant date and recorded such amount as a debt discount on the date of the transaction.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized $1,804 in amortization of the deferred debt discount relating to the Debenture.  In connection with the Debenture, the Company incurred fees payable to a third party aggregating $62,500, and issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares with a grant date fair value of $172,000 to a third-party.  Such amounts have been recognized as Deferred Financing Costs on the date of the transaction, and are being amortized over the term of the Debenture.   During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized $17,347 in amortization of the deferred financing costs relating to the Debenture. 

April 12, 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Debentures

From April 2012 through January 2013, the Company issued senior secured convertible debentures (the “Secured Convertible Debentures”) in exchange for an aggregate cash proceeds of $515,000 ($50,000 of which were received during the six months ended June 30, 2013). The  Secured Convertible Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, were due June 30, 2013 and were originally convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of market on the trading day immediately preceding the date of determination.

The Company identified an embedded derivative related to a conversion option in the Secured Convertible Debentures. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivative as of the inception date of the Secured Convertible Debentures and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

12

At the inception of the Secured Convertible Debentures, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of $122,938 of embedded derivatives.

On April 29, 2013, the Company modified the Secured Convertible Debentures and accrued interest, in aggregate amount of $545,958 to a fixed conversion price of $0.03 per share and a maturity date of June 30, 2013.  In connection with the debt modification, the Company recorded a loss on debt modification of $5,459,582 representing the difference between the fair value of the aggregate shares issuable under the new conversion price and the original conversion terms of the Secured Convertible Debenture.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the holder of the Secured Convertible Debentures converted the aggregate principal amount of $515,000 and accrued interest and fees aggregating $85,000 into 20,000,000 shares of common stock.  Of these shares, 17,866,363 were issued as of June 30, 2013 and 2,113,637 were issued in July 2013. Concurrently with this transaction, a shareholder cancelled 12,886,346 shares of his common stock and returned them to the Company. 

November 15, 2012 Unit Offering

On November 15, 2012, the Company commenced a private offering of up to $3,000,000 of units (the "Units") at a purchase price of $50,000 per unit pursuant to the securities purchase agreement dated November 15, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each Unit consists of a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $50,000 (the “10% Debenture”) and 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 10% Debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, is due two years from the issuance date and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per share. Though December 31, 2012, we issued and sold an aggregate of 9 units totaling $450,000. The 10% Debentures were determined to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) under the provisions of FAS ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” based on the issue date market value and the exercise price of $0.20 per share. In accordance with ASC 470-20, an embedded beneficial conversion feature shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid capital. Accordingly, a discount of $225,000 was recorded at issuance. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 an additional $150,000 of 10% Debentures were issued and a discount of $16,667 was recorded. Amortization of approximately $60,000 was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The note balance was $420,116 net of discount of $179,884 at June 30, 2013.

NOTE 8 - WARRANT DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company issued warrants in conjunction with the issuance of convertible debentures and the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred and Common Stock.  These warrants contain certain reset provisions. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company classified the fair value of the warrant as a liability at the date of issuance.  Subsequent to the initial issuance date, the Company is required to adjust the warrant to fair value as an adjustment to current period operations.

The Company recorded a gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $7,559,629 and $1,991,396 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $2,417,965 and $(667,629) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

On April 19, 2013, the reset provisions of an aggregate of 22,091,310 warrants expired, Accordingly, the fair value at the date of expiration of $4,027,945 was reclassified from liabilities to equity.

On April 29, 2013, in connection with an amendment to Secured Convertible Debentures, the Company reinstated the reset provisions of an aggregate of 11,045,655 warrants and extended their term from August 31, 2016 to April 30, 2018.  The fair value of the modified warrants of $3,041,343 was recorded as a liability with $2,013,972 reclassified from equity (based on original terms) and $1,027,381 charged to current period interest (based on term modifications). The fair values were determined using the binomial lattice model.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

Common Stock

In May 2013, 625,538 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into an aggregate of 9,213,636 shares of common stock at the stated conversion price of $0.0679 per share.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 486,401 shares of common stock to consultants valued at approximately $112,500 for services previously rendered.

Stock Options   

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 4,968,530 shares of common stock to certain employees and directors. These options vest over a 2 to 3 year period, have a term of 10 years, and contain an exercise price of $0.24 per share. The options had an aggregate grant fair date value of $522,749.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock to certain consultants. These options vest over a 3 year period, have a term of 10 years, and contain an exercise price of $0.24 per share. The options had an aggregate grant date fair value of $26,500.

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from an index of historical stock prices of comparable entities until sufficient data exists to estimate the volatility using the Company’s own historical stock prices. Management determined this assumption to be a more accurate indicator of value. The Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method which enables the use of the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options as defined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.  The fair value of stock-based payment awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions as follows:

In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the number of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at a weighted average annual rate of  0% per year, as the Company does not yet have adequate historical data, for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, stock-based compensation of $2,283,953 remains unamortized and is expected to be amortized over the weighted average remaining period of 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock

The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

Stock based compensation expense related to restricted stock grants was $436,194 and $145,398 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (as restated - see note 3), respectively; and $872,388 and $145,398 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (as restated - see note 3) respectively. As of June 30, 2013, the stock-based compensation relating to restricted stock of $3,503,845 remain unamortized and is expected to be amortized over the remaining period of approximately 2 years.    

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Aztec Systems, Inc. (“Aztec”) was an affiliate of the Company that provided administrative and technical support services to the Company.  The majority owner of Aztec was also the majority stockholder of the Company until the date of sale of Aztec on June 15, 2012.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, Aztec converted convertible debentures aggregating $522,891 and accrued interest aggregating $30,103 into 3,686,864 shares of common stock. Concurrently with this issuance a shareholder cancelled 3,686,864 shares of his common stock and returned them to the company. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2013, the company recorded amortization of the debt discount relating to this note aggregating approximately $245,000.  

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Legal fees for such matters are expensed as incurred and we accrue for adverse outcomes as they become probable and estimable.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 Recent Developments

On May 6, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which we issued and sold a 10% Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture") in the principal amount of $2,400,000 and 1,200,000 shares of our common stock in consideration of gross proceeds of $2,400,000. The Debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, is due two years from the issuance date and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share.

We initiated litigation in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, against Groupon, Inc., Living Social, Inc., YELP, Inc., IZEA, Inc., MyLikes Inc., and Foursquare Labs, Inc. for patent infringement of two of our patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 7,664,516 and 8,155,679), which cover peer-to-peer advertising.  We subsequently amended our complaints to add claims of infringement on our three other patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 8,438,055, 8,452,646, and 8,457,670.  A summary of each of the cases is set forth below. With the payment of all maintenance fees, all of our patents will expire on December 27, 2024.

On July 31, 2012, we filed a patent infringement complaint against Groupon, Inc. (Case No. 6:2012-cv-00486) alleging infringement of two of our patents, 7,664,516 and 8,155,679, focused on our peer-to-peer marketing technology. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division.  On April 26, 2013, the Court issued a Scheduling Order setting the Markman hearing for November 7, 2013 and trial for July 9, 2014.  On June 13, 2013, we moved to amend our complaint and add claims for infringement by Groupon of three additional patents, U.S Patent 8,438,055, U.S. Patent No. 8,452,646 and U.S. Patent 8,457,670.  On July 19,  2013, the Court granted our motion.  In addition, the Court extended the Markman hearing date to February 5, 2014 and the trial date to October 6, 2014 as a result of the three additional patents being added to the case.  The case is presently in the early stages of discovery.

On August 24, 2012, we filed a patent infringement complaint against Living Social, Inc. (Case No. 2:2012-cv-00518) alleging infringement of two of our patents, U.S Patent 7,664,516 and U.S Patent 8,155,679. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.  In March 2013, the Court issued a Scheduling Order setting the Markman hearing date for August 27, 2013 and trial for August 7, 2014. On June 14, 2013, we amended our complaint and added claims for infringement by LivingSocial of three additional patents, U.S Patent No. 8,438,055, U.S. Patent No. 8,452,646 and U.S. Patent 8,457,670.  Living Social had until August 19, 2013 to file an amended answer, affirmative defenses and any counterclaims related to the amended complaint.  We provided our preliminary infringement contentions for all five asserted patents on June 25, 2013.  The parties are to file proposals for a case schedule on or before August 29, 2013. As a result of the addition of the additional patents to the case, the Markman hearing was extended until February 11, 2014 as to all patents.  A pretrial conference is set for September 25, 2014 with jury selection to follow on October 6, 2014.  On August 16, 2013, we dismissed our patent infringement action against Living Social pursuant to the terms of an otherwise confidential settlement and license agreement.

On October 17, 2012, we filed patent infringement complaints against YELP, Inc. (Case No. 6:2012-cv-00788) and IZEA, Inc. (Case No. 6:2012-cv-00786) The suits allege infringement of two of our patents, 7,664,516 and 8,155,679. The complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division.  On April 26, 2013, the Court issued a Scheduling Order setting the Markman hearing for November 7, 2013 and trial for July 9, 2014.  On June 13, 2013, we moved to amend our complaint and add claims for infringement by Yelp and IZEA of three additional patents, U.S Patent 8,438,055, U.S. Patent No. 8,452,646 and U.S. Patent 8,457,670.  On July 19,  2013, the Court granted our motion.  In addition, the Court extended the Markman hearing date to February 5, 2014 and the trial date to October 6, 2014 due to the addition of the three new patents to the case.  The cases are presently in the early stages of discovery.

On November 6, 2012, we filed patent infringement complaints against MyLikes (Case No. 6:2012-cv-00838) and Foursquare (Case No. 6:2012-cv-00837). The suits allege infringement of two of our patents, 7,664,516 and 8,155,679. The complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division.  On April 26, 2013, the Court issued a Scheduling Order setting the Markman hearing for November 7, 2013 and trial for July 9, 2014.  On June 13, 2013, we moved to amend our complaint and add claims for infringement by MyLikes and Foursquare of three additional patents, U.S Patent 8,438,055, U.S. Patent No. 8,452,646 and U.S. Patent 8,457,670.  On July 19,  2013, the Court granted our motion.  In addition, the Court extended the Markman hearing date to February 5, 2014 and the trial date to October 6, 2014 due to the addition of the three new patents to the case.  In an ancillary action, Foursquare filed a declaratory judgment action against us in the Southern District of New York that alleged that U.S Patent 8,438,055, U.S. Patent No. 8,452,646 and U.S. Patent 8,457,670 were not infringed and were invalid.  That case was transferred to the Eastern District of Texas on August 2, 2013.  On July 23, 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement and license agreement with MyLikes to resolve the case. MyLikes agreed to pay us the equivalent of a 3.5% royalty for the use of our patents. The case against MyLikes was subsequently dismissed on July 31, 2013.  The case against Foursquare is presently in the early stages of discovery.

Business Overview

We are engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of technology and intellectual property focused on digital word-of-mouth marketing and advertising. We have developed a patented platform which enables brands to leverage customer and employee relationships in order to to increase brand loyalty and drive revenue. Our intellectual property portfolio consists of five patents and four pending patent applications that cover methods and systems for communicating advertisements and electronic offers between communication devices, including mobile and desktop devices. All of our patents and patent applications have been developed internally by our Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Levi, and our Director of Innovation, Bradley Bauer, and assigned to our wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Calypso, LLC.

We have developed a proprietary technology platform that facilitates the delivery of advertising campaigns, content and promotions across social media channels using multiple device types. Our technology facilitates the connection of brands to consumers and matches them using attributes such as geo-location or demographic profile. Our platform tracks performance, monitors engagement and deploys robust analytics that deliver acute insight regarding the return on investment of our client’s promotions. Our technology is designed to help clients spread their marketing messages, acquire new customers, increase awareness and drive product sales. Campaigns facilitated through our platform can encourage consumers to learn more about our client’s products and watch promotional videos about particular products. Our platform can also assist in increasing “likes” on Facebook, followers on Twitter encouraging consumers to join our client’s email lists. All of this is accomplished by encouraging advocates of a company to interact and personalize messages to people that they think would like to hear about a particular brand or product. Our clients are able to thank advocates for sharing, including offering incentives, coupons and other perks to advocates who share. Our technology platform creates multiple opportunities for companies to interact with their most vocal brand advocates and reward them for their loyalty.

Critical Accounting Policies

Development Stage Company   

 We are a development stage company as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, “Development Stage Entities” and are still devoting substantial efforts to establishing our business. Our principal operations have commenced but there has been no significant revenue thus far. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered part of our development stage activities.

Use of Estimates   

                           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, fair values relating to warrant and other derivative liabilities, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Results of Operations 

Net Loss.  For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we had a net loss of $8,421,828, as compared to a net loss of $979,769 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from: 1)  changes in the fair value of our warrant liabilities; 2) a one-time interest cost on warrant term modification of $1,027,381 charged to current period interest; and  3)  a loss on debt settlement of $5,459,582.

 Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Results of Operations 

Net Income (Loss).  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had net loss of $1,623,935 as compared to a net loss of $2,775,125 in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The largest contributors to the loss were a gain attributed to the fair value of our derivative liabilities offset by the loss on the settlement of debt of $5,459,582 and a one-time interest cost on the warrant term modification of $1,027,381 charged to current period interest.

Revenue.   Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $15,000, as compared to $760 in revenues for the same period in 2012.  We are a development stage company and have had modest revenue to date.

Cost of Revenue.  Our cost of revenue was $6,826 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $145,516 for the same period in 2012. Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily comprised of payments to endorsers for promoting advertiser content.  The decrease was related to elimination of endorser fees in the current period under our new commercial model.

Sales and Marketing. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, sales and marketing expenses decreased by $332,988 to $330,772 as compared to the same period in 2012.   Sales and marketing expense includes the compensation and benefit expense of the four sales and marketing staff members as well as travel, entertainment and advertising expense directly attributable to the sales and marketing function. Last year had higher stock option expense of $217,526.

General and Administrative.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,413,913 to $1,838,708 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. Expenses decreased in the current period related to the compensation and vested stock incentives expenses of the Company’s CEO and CTO. There were no expenses for these salaries in the prior year, as these employees were hired in the 3rd quater of 2012. As such this accounts for an increase of $286,282 over the prior year.  The preceding increase is offset by stock incentives in the previous year that were higher by $1.8 million associated with the recruitment of the Company's new CEO.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses relate primarily to the amortization of capitalized software development.  Depreciation and amortization expenses were $136,656 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $111,303 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, representing an increase of $25,353 which was due primarily to an increase due to additional capitalized software during the period.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. We issued warrants and convertible notes that contain certain reset provisions in connection with financing and debt settlements.  As such, we are required to record these reset provisions as a liability and mark them to market each reporting period.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a gain of $7,559,629 in change in the fair value of these reset provisions versus. a gain for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $1,991,386.

 Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $1,426,021 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $594,071 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The primary increase in interest cost was from a one-time interest cost on warrant term modification of $1,027,381 charged to current period interest. In addition, the increase in interest expense was also attributable to the issuance of a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $2,400,000 on May 6, 2013, the issuance of 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 between April 19, 2012 and February 4, 2013, and the issuance of 10% Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 between November 15, 2012 and March 27, 2013. 

Loss on settlement of debt – During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we modified the terms of 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures aggregating $515,000 and accrued interest aggregating $30,948.  In connection with the modification, the Company incurred a loss on settlement of debt of $5,459,582 during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Cash Flows

Net Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,238,980 as compared to $1,004,203 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were comprised of: a net loss of $1,623,935 offset by non-cash changes in the fair value of our warrant liabilities of $7,559,629; a one-time interest cost on warrant term modification of $1,027,381; a loss on the modification of the Secured Convertible Debentures of $5,459,582 and stock based compensation expenses of $950,616.

Net Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $92,695, as compared to $192,142 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was attributable to reduced expenditures on the development of our software platform related to a more cost effective operating model. 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash provided by financing was $2,537,500, as compared to $916,778 for the same period in 2012.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash of $2,537,500 was provided from issuance of convertible debentures. 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None   

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues, and has incurred net losses since inception. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,424,623 and a working capital deficit of $1,134,895. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company used net cash in operating activities of approximately $1,240,000. The Company believes that its current cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements through December 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the issuance of common shares and preferred shares to its initial investors, proceeds from the issuance of convertible secured debentures, the sale of common stock and debentures in private placements and the issuance of common stock as payment of fees for services from third parties. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On November 9, 2012, we entered into an exchange agreement with Aztec Systems, pursuant to which we agreed to exchange our note payable to Aztec Systems in the principal amount of $368,059.24 and our existing accounts payable to Aztec Systems for an 8% Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $545,958. The 8% Convertible Note was due on March 31, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, this note converted into 3,686,634 shares of our common stock.

On November 15, 2012, we commenced a private offering of up to $3,000,000 of units at a purchase price of $50,000 per unit pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 15, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each unit consists of a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $50,000 (the “2012 10% Debenture”) and 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2012 10% Debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, is due two years from the issuance date and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per share. As of June 30, 2013, we have issued and sold an aggregate of 12 units in consideration of gross proceeds to us of $600,000.

On April 29, 2013, we entered into a series of agreements with the holder of our 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “8% Debentures”). The Debentures were due on November 30, 2012. As of April 29, 2013, the aggregate amount outstanding under the Debentures, including all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, was $600,000. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the 8% Debentures, the conversion price of the Debentures was amended such that the aggregate amount outstanding under the Debentures was convertible into an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock. The issuance of the shares of common stock underlying our 8% Debentures did not result in any dilution to our existing stockholders as our Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Levi, committed 20,000,000 shares of common stock currently held by him in connection with this transaction. The holder of our 8% Debentures also agreed to immediately terminate the Security Agreement dated April 19, 2012 by and between us, our subsidiaries and the holder, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated April 19, 2012 by and between us, our subsidiaries and the holder, and the Subsidiary Guarantee executed by us, our subsidiary, Blue Calypso, LLC, and all of the security interests created thereby. The maturity dates of the 8% Debentures were extended to June 30, 2013. As of the date of this report, the holder of the 8% Debentures has converted the full principal amount of the 8% Debentures into an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock.

In connection with the Amendment to 8% Debentures, we also agreed to amend the terms of certain warrants currently held by the holder of the 8% Debentures. We also agreed to extend the maturity date of the warrants originally issued to the holder of the 8% Debentures in September 2011 to April 30, 2018 and to extend the anti-dilution protection of such warrants for the life of the warrants. We also agreed to extend the maturity date of the warrants originally issued to the holder of the 8% Debentures in April 2012 to April 30, 2018 and to extend the anti-dilution protection of such warrants for the life of the warrants.

On May 6, 2013, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which we issued and sold a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $2,400,000 (the “10% Debenture”) and 1,200,000 shares of common stock in consideration of gross proceeds to the Company of $2,400,000. The 10% Debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, is due two years from the issuance date and is convertible into shares of tour common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share.

As a development stage company, we have been and continue to be dependent upon outside sources of cash to pay operating expenses.  We have had only nominal revenue and we expect operating losses to continue through the foreseeable future.  Until we develop a consistent source of revenue to achieve a profitable level of operations that generates sufficient cash flow, we will need additional capital resources to fund growth and operations.  We are continuing our efforts to raise capital through equity and/or debt offerings.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise equity or debt capital on terms we consider reasonable and prudent, or at all.   The availability of capital to us may be subject to the volatility in the financial markets, our future financial condition and credit rating, and whether sufficient assets are available to be used as debt collateral in connection with any future debt financing, among other factors.  Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to the existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.   Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements. On August  27, 2013, after consulting with the Company’s Audit Committee and with the Company’s newly appointed Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Marcum LLP, management changed its accounting for certain of the Company’s warrants and conversion features related to previously issued convertible notes and preferred stock which were recorded in periods prior to the engagement of Marcum LLP in order to comply with US GAAP. Such warrants and the embedded conversion options should have been reflected as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets included in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “Annual Report”) and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2012,  June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2013 (the “Quarterly Reports”), rather than as a component of equity. In addition, the Company determined that the Company had not properly accreted compensation expense for certain restricted stock grants in 2012. Within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the company also corrected certain errors in our condensed statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a result of this change in accounting treatment, the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file amendments to the Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports as soon as possible.

Remediation plan. Since the determination regarding this deficiency, we have devoted significant effort and resources to remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting.  While we had processes in place to identify and apply developments in accounting standards, we enhanced these processes to better evaluate our research of the nuances of complex accounting standards and engaged a third party financial reporting consulting firm to assist the Company in its financial reporting compliance. Our enhancements included retaining a third party consultant, who is a technical accounting professional, to assist us in the interpretation and application of new and complex accounting guidance.  The firm has been engaged to assist in the analysis of complex financial instruments. Management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We initiated litigation in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, against Groupon, Inc., Living Social, Inc., YELP, Inc., IZEA, Inc., MyLikes Inc., and Foursquare Labs, Inc. for patent infringement of two of our patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 7,664,516 and 8,155,679), which cover peer-to-peer advertising.  We subsequently amended our complaints to add claims of infringement on our three other patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 8,438,055, 8,452,646, and 8,457,670.
