CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking statements.” These statements are based on the current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions of our management and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by language such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects,” “future” and similar expressions and may also include references to plans, strategies, objectives, and anticipated future performance as well as other statements that are not strictly historical in nature.

The risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in this Annual Report on Form 10-K include:

●

our ability to successfully retain and sell additional services to our existing clients and obtain new clients;

●

our reliance on primarily a single client and the continued use by such client of our services with favorable pricing terms;

●

changes in laws and regulations related to the communication services we provide to or through our clients;

●

the failure of our outsourced data center services providers to provide the anticipated levels of service;

●

any significant slowdown or failure of our systems or error in the performance of our services;

●

our failure to keep pace with changes in technology and the demands of our clients;

●

the ability to attract and retain key personnel;

●

our ability to obtain additional financing at favorable rates to maintain and develop our operations; and

●

competitive conditions in our industry.

There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition. Readers should carefully consider this information as well the risks and other uncertainties described in other filings we may make with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They reflect opinions, assumptions, and estimates only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.

PART I

Item 1. Business

General

We were incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under our original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, we changed our name to Single Touch Systems Inc. In the periods before the acquisition described in the next sentence, we had no active business operations. On July 24, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”). Interactive was incorporated in Nevada on April 2, 2002.

We maintain a website located at http://www.singletouch.net, and electronic copies of our periodic or other reports and any amendments to those reports, are available, free of charge, under the “Company” link on our website as soon as practicable after such material is filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

Table of Contents

Single Touch Systems Inc. is an innovative mobile media solutions provider serving retailers, advertisers and brands. Through patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, our multi-channel messaging gateway enables marketers to reach consumers on all types of connected devices, with information that engages interest, drives transactions and strengthens relationships and loyalty.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high-volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message in voice or Short Message Service (SMS), an abbreviated dial code or a coupon, promotion, or an advertisement. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Background of Industry Growth and Potential

Across the globe, the mobile channel is growing fast. People in every country are buying more and more advanced mobile devices, and business and consumers alike are using mobile phones for everyday activities like checking the weather, taking advantages of discounts, shopping or sending and receiving financial information. As mobile adoption increases, e-Business and channel strategy professionals are challenged to determine how these devices integrate with their existing sales and service channels. Rapid adoption of the mobile channel is a critical driver of the need for e-business professionals to evolve their strategy and operations to agile commerce.

According to CTIA – The Wireless Association (June 2012), there were 322 million wireless subscribers in the US, more than the entire US population. In the US alone, there were 4.59 trillion combined minutes and messages sent for the year ended June 2012, representing an increase year over year in this same June period.

In 2011 Mobile device sales outnumbered PCs for the first time in history according to BI Intelligence. For 2012 PC sales are expected to grow 4% while smartphone growth is anticipated at 40% and tablets near 60%. Consumers are not relying on one channel to receive information. They are constantly on-the-go, sending and receiving communications of all types, and they have come to expect that information be literally in-hand at all times.

Principal Products and Services

Messaging and Notifications – Our Short Message Service (SMS) gateway has proven to be an excellent channel for retailers to communicate with their brand loyalists on a very personal level. This is accomplished through integration with the client’s customer relationship management (CRM) database. With such integration, retailers were able to send targeted mobile coupons and transactional messages based on a shopper’s CRM profile. Targeted mobile coupons can be sent based on past purchase behaviors making the content relevant and timely to a shopper. Transactional messages can add another layer of value by sending shipping and order pick-up alerts, as well as notifications for reorders, layaway and new product releases. The foremost example of our solution running today is Walmart. Walmart pharmacy departments send individualized text and voice messages through our gateway to their customers letting them know when their prescriptions are ready for pick-up.

Abbreviated Dial Codes- Our abbreviated dial codes have been proven to have 10 times the recall of a common keyword-to-short-code solution. We have seen many of our clients using this as an on-ramp to mobility solutions. Walmart is currently using #wmt to make it easier for their customers to locate and download their smartphone mobile app. Forrester research called this dial code technology one of the top 4 for CMOs to watch. We see the potential for Single Touch customers to leverage the hash tags in the social media space with the # symbol in their abbreviated dial code to enhance brand awareness.

Table of Contents

Certain Agreements

Our business agreements consist primarily of customer agreements and carrier agreements. Customer agreements are typically agreements with companies which have sales relationships with the end users of the transacted media content or service application. These agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the brand owner and us or a fixed fee per transaction. Carrier agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection to the end user that enables us to deliver and collect payment for the transacted media content or service application. Carrier agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the carrier and us.

We have expanded our relationship with AT&T Services, Inc., through which we retain 11 client relationships representing nearly all of our reported revenue in the fiscal years ended in 2011 and 2012. The bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of 4 separate Walmart corporate programs. These programs and related services continue to develop nationwide, and we continue to experience increasing activity in these programs that have caused our AT&T revenues to grow.

Research and Development

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 we spent $434,915 and $502,110, respectively, on software development that was capitalized. Software development costs amortized and charged to operations in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 were $446,876 and $412,632, respectively.

Our research and development activities relate primarily to general coding of software and product development. These activities consist of both new products and support or improvements to existing products.

We believe that we may need to increase our current level of dedicated research and development resources by adding both hardware and engineers as our business continues to develop.

Patents and Licenses

We currently hold rights to multiple patents relating to certain aspects of accessing information on a mobile device, sending information to and between mobile devices, advertising and media streaming. We believe the ownership of such patents is an important factor in our existing and future business.

We regularly file patent applications to protect innovations arising from our research, development and design, and are currently pursuing multiple patent applications. Over time, we have accumulated a portfolio of issued patents primarily in the U.S. No single patent is solely responsible for protecting our systems and services. We believe the duration of our patents are adequate relative to the expected lives of our systems and services.

Table of Contents

Some of our systems and services may include intellectual property obtained from third parties. It may be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects of its systems and services. There is no guarantee that such licenses could be obtained on reasonable terms or at all. Because of technological changes in the industries in which we compete, current extensive patent coverage, and the rapid rate of issuance of new patents, it is possible that certain components of our systems and services may unknowingly infringe existing patents or intellectual property rights of others.

Government Regulation

We provide value-added and enabling platforms for carrier-based distribution of various software and media content, as well as notifications and other communications. Applicable regulations are primarily under the Federal Communications Commission and related to the operations policies and procedures of the wireless communications carriers. Messaging and safeguarding Personal Health Information, moreover, is relegated, among other things, to the Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, otherwise known as HIPAA. The wireless carriers are primarily responsible for regulatory compliance. Given the growing and dynamic evolution of digital wireless products that can be offered to consumers over a wireless communication network, regulators could impose rules, requirements and standards of conduct on third-party content and infrastructure providers such as us. We are not currently aware of any pending regulations that would materially impact our operations.

Employees

We currently have 16 full-time and no part-time employees including our chairman, our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, 6 persons serving as programmers and technical staff operators, 5 persons in sales and marketing, 1 person in accounting and 1 administrative assistant. We expect to increase our future employee levels on an as-needed basis in connection with our expected growth.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On February 21, 2012, we filed a complaint against Zoove Corporation in the United States District Court, Northern District of California. The complaint alleges patent infringement, in which we seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages resulting from Zoove’s infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,813,716 and U.S. Patent No. 8,041,341. The Complaint has been served, and Zoove has filed an answer. We had a case management conference on June 25, 2012. We filed our Claim Construction Brief on December 20, 2012, and are currently in the claim construction period. A claim construction hearing is set for February 20, 2013.

On August 23, 2012, we filed a complaint against Hulu LLC in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The complaint alleges patent infringement, in which we seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages resulting from Hulu’s infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,191,244. On December 21, 2012, we filed a dismissal of the lawsuit without prejudice. We are in the process of transferring our related Patents into our recently formed subsidiary Single Touch Systems R&D IP, Inc. Due to this transfer, the most efficient procedure was to dismiss the current lawsuit until such time that the transfers to Single Touch Systems R&D IP, Inc. are completed.

In April 2008 our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) to provide participating employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors with an additional incentive to promote our success. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to options and awards granted under the 2008 Plan is 8,800,000. The 2008 Plan is currently administered by our Board of Directors but may be subsequently administered by a Compensation Committee designated by our Board of Directors. The 2008 Plan authorizes the grant to 2008 Plan participants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, and stock appreciation rights. No option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. Upon separation from service, no further vesting of options can occur, and vested options will expire unless exercised within a year after separation, except as provided in individual employment agreements. No option granted under the 2008 Plan is transferable by the individual or entity to whom it was granted otherwise than by will or laws of decent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such individual, is not exercisable by any other person, but only by him.

In December 2009 our Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Employee and Consultant Stock Plan (“2009 Plan”) to provide common stock grants to selected employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. The total number of shares subject to the 2009 Plan is 2,000,000. The 2009 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

No disclosure required.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors such as those noted under “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high-volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and we provide the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Our business has focused on leveraging our solution in the areas of messaging/notifications and Abbreviated Dial Codes. These solutions are enhanced when we deploy imbedded advertisements, sponsorship and couponing.

“For the first time in history with near 322 million wireless subscribers in the USA, wireless penetration exceeds the U.S. population” (1)

“Short Messaging Service, simply known as SMS, sent in the USA for the 12 months ended June 2012 totaled 2.27 trillion up 3% from 2011” (1)

“SMS capable handsets on carriers networks rose to 268.5 million for the same period up 7.7% from 2011” (1) “In 2011 worldwide SMS traffic topped 8 trillion messages”

Table of Contents

We have developed and are deploying advertisements, sponsorships and couponing within our product offerings. This development is significant in that our per-message revenue increases significantly for each message that includes an advertisement or sponsorship. We see these expanded offerings, including those not based directly on messaging volume, as important steps in our continued program to creating both consumer and advertiser demand for our mobile media platform, accessing mobile notifications, advertisements, sponsorships, coupons and commerce transactions from the mobile phone.

“53% of companies surveyed have or are deploying a dedicated team assigned to mobile programs, and 51% are looking for ways to further mobile marketing capabilities”(2)

We have a portfolio of intellectual property relevant to our industry related to mobile search, commerce, advertising and streaming media. This portfolio represents our many years’ innovation in the wireless industry through patented technology developed by us, as well as patented technology we purchased from Microsoft and others.

We have law firms engaged to protect our patented technology rights against unauthorized users and infringers. We have sent letters of notification to several companies making them aware of our patent portfolio and have commenced litigation.

We have assigned 16 of our 18 and all of our intellectual property rights to Single Touch R&D IP, Inc a wholly owned subsidiary who will conduct all research, development, patent filings, patent maintenance and who will continue to identify, notify, and, where circumstances warrant, enforce against companies we believe may be infringing on the intellectual property protected by our growing patent portfolio under the guidance of our Executive Chairman.

As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations.

Throughout our history our operations have been constrained by our ability to raise funds, and our liquidity has been an ongoing issue. We have received debt and equity investments both from insiders and from private investors. We have always had negative cash flows from operations and net operating losses, although the size of the net operating losses has been magnified by a variety of non-cash accounting charges. As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations.

Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our revenue is concentrated with a single customer. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in our stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, diversify our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Years Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company had an increase in revenue of approximately 39% over revenue generated during the previous fiscal year ($6,346,919 in 2012 compared to $4,579,862 in 2011). The growth, all of which is organic, is attributable to continuing consumer adoption of our programs from existing client relationships. The Company’s net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was $3,255,186. This is lower than the net loss incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 of $7,985,163. Under the metrics employed by management to evaluate the underlying business explained below, Adjusted EBITDA, that underlying loss was reduced by $507,464 from the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and special charges. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the underlying performance of our business, and a summary of Adjusted EBITDA, reconciling GAAP amounts (i.e., items reported in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) to Adjusted EBITDA amounts (i.e., items included within Adjusted EBITDA as defined directly above) for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 follows:

Royalties and Application Costs represent the direct out-of-pocket costs associated with revenue. Royalties and Application Costs vary substantially in line with revenue and totaled $2,907,110 in 2012, compared to $2,543,885 in 2011, an increase of 14%. Because a portion of Royalties and Application Costs are fixed and all such costs are being monitored and reduced wherever possible, net margin continues to increase.

Research and Development expenses grew from $78,860 in 2011 to $84,658 in 2012, and adjusted Compensation expense grew from $1,834,375 to $2,679,008. The former reflects the growing investment in technologies that we anticipate will generate revenues for years to come while the latter reflects the increased headcount necessary to support our expanding business while concurrently relying less on outside consultants.

General and Administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, both on a GAAP and on an Adjusted EBITDA basis, consist of the following:

* Adjustments for each of these items represents the elimination of stock-based compensation included within the GAAP expense amount to arrive at the Adjusted EBITDA amount.

The diminution in adjusted Professional Fees, from $762,972 in 2011 to $732,091 in 2012, reflects management performing services previously outsourced. Professional Fees include amounts paid to external attorneys, and Professional Fees have been reduced during this latter fiscal year, notwithstanding the commencement during that fiscal year of two litigations against defendants that the Company contends infringed on its intellectual property. The same is true for the $72,870 diminution to adjusted Consulting expense over the two periods. Travel has increased $176,625 over the two periods, resulting from increased new business efforts, increased investor outreach, the hosting of an annual general meeting in August 2012, the addition of the New Jersey office, and travel between our four offices, a footprint now covering all of the Continental U.S. Office rent has increased due to the opening of the New Jersey office at the very end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, and Insurance expense has increased $36,283 over the two periods due largely to revenue growth and additional necessary coverage.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2012, we had total assets of $5,569,755 and total liabilities of $4,661,117. As of September 30, 2011, we had total assets of $3,736,694 and total liabilities of $1,554,379. The increase in assets is largely due to increases in cash of $1,633,906, from $523,801 in 2011 to $2,157,707 in 2012, and additions of accounts receivable since September 30, 2011 totaling $178,565, from $907,275 in 2011 to $1,085,840 in 2012. Cash has increased largely due to $4,312,000 of capital raised in two different convertible debt offerings, less cash offering costs and costs of funding ongoing operations and capital expenditures over the twelve months ended September 30, 2012. Accounts receivable have risen along with revenue increases.

The increase in liabilities is largely due to the two convertible debt issuances since September 30, 2011 (Footnote 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) Accounts payable has been reduced over the same period, from $1,178,057 at September 30, 2011 to $768,263 at September 30, 2012, representing resolution of open balances with vendors and the institution of more standard payment terms over those twelve months. The reduction to Current obligation on patent acquisitions represents the issuance of the penultimate payment due to a vendor of a group of patents (Footnote 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 cash used in operating activities totaled $2,084,247. Most notably receivables increased, reflecting our growing revenue base, and we paid down trade creditor balances.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $625,618, of which $434,915 represented the capitalized internal costs of our software development, $33,195 represented equipment purchases, $146,558 represented capitalized legal fees incurred in the process of applying for various patents on our technology, and $30,000 represented the expenditure of the cash component of the Anywhere purchase (Footnote 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) We continue to invest in physical and intellectual property that will separate us from competitors and allow us to continue to expend our mobile communications/advertising offering. The Company obtained a $19,050 refund of cash, relating to the reduction to the security deposit on the New Jersey office.

Cash provided from financing activities amounted to $4,343,771. The Company received $4,312,000 through the issuance of convertible debt, and $318,000 was received as proceeds for the exercise of warrants. We paid down half ($87,500) remaining on our patent purchase obligation and incurred $210,049 of offering costs associated with the convertible debt. We had an overall net increase in cash for the period of $1,633,906; the balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $523,801 while the cash balance at the end of the period was $2,157,707.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 cash used in operating activities totaled $1,505,289. Most notably receivables and prepaid expenses increased during a period of revenue growth. Offsetting those asset increases were increases of accounts payable and accrued expenses. Following this earlier fiscal year the Company reached more current and typical payment terms with its operating vendors.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $1,059,604, of which $502,110 represented the capitalized internal costs of our software development, $196,067 represented equipment purchases, and $111,177 represented capitalized legal fees incurred in the process of applying for various patents on our technology. We also expended $155,000 on the Soapbox Anywhere option and $95,250 on the initial New Jersey office lease security deposit.

Cash expended on financing activities amounted to $951,475. The Company received $17,100 from the issuance of Common Stock and $17,685 from Loans and advances from related parties. Those cash inflows were outstripped by $30,000 paid in costs of a private offering, $790,822 repaid to a related party, and $165,438 principal repaid on the patent obligation. We had an overall net decrease in cash for the period of $3,516,368; the balance at the beginning of this earlier fiscal year was $4,040,169 while the cash balance at the end of the period was $523,801.

Over the twelve months following September 30, 2012 we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds will be sufficient to sustain our current level of operations. Inasmuch as the Company is pursuing the monetization of its intellectual property, which plans are subject to change, additional external financing may, however, be required. In addition, increased acceleration in our organic business and/or other economic influences might also necessitate other financing. There can, moreover, be no assurance of when, if ever, our operations become profitable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of ours financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.

Non-monetary Consideration Issued for Services

We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration are valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.

Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with ASC Topic 505, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.

Conventional Convertible Debt

When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party) over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Software Development Costs

We account for our software development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 985-20, “Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Under ASC Topic 985-20, we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is technologically feasible, we amortize the costs capitalized over the expected useful life of the software.

Table of Contents

Fair Value Measurement

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of September 30, 2012, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012 were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

It is the responsibility of management to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and board of directors regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Table of Contents

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management has performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012 based upon criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. Based on this assessment, management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2012.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2012 we have identified the need to further enhance our existing internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect materially, our internal controls over financial reporting.

We identified that our current banking product does not have the capabilities to support procedural protocols we had previously implemented. Due to the limitations of this product it was identified that a transaction could be authorized independently although dual authorizations may have been required pursuant to our instructions to the bank.

We have determined that a new commercial banking product is required to support our previously implemented procedural protocols. We are evaluating new commercial banking products suitable to meet our requirements.

Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Under the oversight of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make any changes it deems necessary to the overall design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including implementing improvements in policies and procedures. We are committed to a proper internal control environment, and believe that, when fully implemented, these proactive measures will improve the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in response to our continued operational development.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers recommendations for nomination to the Board of Directors submitted by shareholders.

In evaluating the suitability of candidates to serve on the Board of Directors, including shareholder nominees, the Governance and Nominating Committee seeks candidates who are “independent," as defined by SEC rules adopted pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and who meet certain selection criteria established by the Governance and Nominating Committee.

Employment / Severance / Change-in-Control Agreements

Anthony Macaluso - On June 3, 2011, we entered into an employment letter agreement with Anthony Macaluso, as our executive Chairman, effective as of June 1, 2011. The agreement is for a three-year term, with successive two-year renewals unless either party elects against renewal. Mr. Macaluso is entitled to a $385,000 annual salary, subject to possible increases. Mr. Macaluso can also receive discretionary cash bonuses. We also agreed in the employment letter agreement to grant Mr. Macaluso certain stock options under our 2010 Stock Plan.

In full satisfaction of all obligations under the employment letter agreement to grant stock options to Mr. Macaluso, and after taking account of certain remissions, we granted Mr. Macaluso on June 1, 2011 a total of 4,500,000 stock options under our 2010 Stock Plan, with 1,500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.65 per share) vesting on May 16, 2012, 1,500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on May 16, 2013 and 1,500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on May 16, 2014.

If Mr. Macaluso is terminated without cause or due to disability, or if he resigns for good reason (all as defined in the employment letter agreement) or if we elect not to renew his employment term, then upon giving us a release he shall be entitled to one year of salary continuation and one year of COBRA premiums payments. Also, if we are acquired or if he is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason (all as defined in the employment letter agreement) during Mr. Macaluso’s employment, all his unvested stock options would immediately vest.

In addition, if we terminate Mr. Macaluso’s employment without cause or due to disability or if he resigns for good reason, he would be entitled to exercise any of the 4,500,000 stock options until three years after the termination date (or, if earlier, the expiration of the options).

Mr. Macaluso, participated in the November 2012 plan where we modified the terms of stock options granted to certain employees, officers, directors, and active 3rd party service providers. As a result 3,000,000 options exercisable at $0.90 per share granted pursuant to his employment agreement were reduced to 2,550,000 options exercisable at $0.469 per share. Additional options granted in 2010 were reduced from 50,000 options exercisable at $1.375 per share to 40,000 exercisable at $0.469 per share and 1,200,000 options exercisable at $0.90 per share to 1,020,000 exercisable at $0.469 per share.

On December 6, 2012, for extraordinary service to the Company to date for work related to Single Touch Systems R&D I.P, Inc., we granted options to Mr. Macaluso to purchase 2,099,400 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.469 per share. The options immediately vested and expire on December 1, 2017.

James Orsini- On March 10, 2011, we entered into an employment letter agreement with James Orsini, who began employment as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer on May 16, 2011. The agreement (as amended on May 16, 2011) is for a three-year term, with successive two-year renewals unless either party elects against renewal. Mr. Orsini is entitled to a $385,000 annual salary, subject to possible increases. Mr. Orsini can also receive discretionary cash bonuses, and after three months of employment he was entitled to and did receive a $25,000 payment in respect of certain expenses. In addition, the agreement called for us to grant to him (and we accordingly did grant to him) 4,500,000 stock options under our 2010 Stock Plan; with one-third (with an exercise price of $0.63 per share) vesting on the first anniversary of his employment start date, one-third (with an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on the second anniversary of his employment start date, and one-third (with an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on the third anniversary of his employment start date. Vesting of his stock options shall accelerate if we experience a change in majority control. Mr. Orsini agreed not to compete with us during his employment and for two years thereafter.

Table of Contents

If we terminate Mr. Orsini’s employment without cause or for disability or if he resigns for good reason (as those terms are defined in the agreement), or if we elect not to enter into a renewal term of the employment letter agreement, he will receive one year of salary continuation and one year of COBRA premium payments. In addition, if we terminate Mr. Orsini’s employment without cause or if he resigns for good reason, he would be entitled to exercise any of the 4,500,000 stock options which had vested as of the termination date, until three years after the termination date (or, if earlier, the expiration of the options).

If we experience a change in majority control (as defined in the agreement) during Mr. Orsini’s employment, all his unvested stock options would immediately vest.

Mr. Orsini, participated in the November 2012 plan where we modified the terms of stock options granted to certain employees, officers, directors, and active 3rd party service providers. As a result 3,000,000 options exercisable at $0.90 per share granted pursuant to his employment agreement were reduced to 2,550,000 options exercisable at $0.469 per share.

John Quinn - On September 26, 2011, we entered into an employment letter agreement with John Quinn, as our Chief Financial Officer, effective as of September 26, 2011. Pursuant to the agreement we pay Mr. Quinn an annual salary of $225,000. The Agreement also calls for successive one-year renewals unless either party elects against renewal. Mr. Quinn can also receive discretionary cash bonuses.

We also agreed to grant Mr. Quinn 100,000 shares of our common stock under our 2009 Employee and Consultant Stock Plan, subject to the following restriction: all of such shares would have been forfeited to us if Mr. Quinn’s employment with us ceased for any reason; such restrictions and risk of forfeiture cliff-lapsed on December 25, 2011.

We also agreed to grant Mr. Quinn a total of 1,500,000 upfront stock options under our 2008 Stock Option Plan with 500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.65 per share) vesting after one year of service, 500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting after two years of service and 500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting after three years of service.

Under the Agreement, if Mr. Quinn is terminated without cause or due to his disability, or if he resigns for good reason (all as defined in the Agreement) or if we elect not to renew his employment term, then upon giving us a release he shall be entitled to six months of salary continuation and six months of COBRA premiums payments. Also, vesting of his stock options shall accelerate if Mr. Quinn is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason, or if we are acquired.

Mr. Quinn, participated in the November 2012 plan where we modified the terms of stock options granted to certain employees, officers, directors, and active 3rd party service providers. As a result 1,000,000 options exercisable at $0.90 per share granted pursuant to his employment agreement were reduced to 850,000 options exercisable at $0.469 per share.

Soapbox Mobile, Inc. Related-Party Arrangements - Anthony Macaluso is the preferred shareholder of Soapbox Mobile, Inc. (“Soapbox”, which provided the use of certain equipment and software to us from February 2008 through June 2010 at a monthly rate of $4,000 and had been providing them to us from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 at a monthly rate of $7,500. On June 30, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Anthony Macaluso whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire his majority interest in Soapbox. Under the terms of the option grant, we were required to pay and did a deposit of $155,000 which was to be refunded in the event the acquisition did not close. Under the option agreement both parties had the opportunity to perform due diligence necessary to determine the value of the majority interest and perform other actions necessary to complete the acquisition.

On March 30, 2012, we were granted an exclusive perpetual license to utilize the “Anywhere” software and related source code from Soapbox. Under the terms of the underlying agreement, we issued 200,000 shares of its common stock to Soapbox and paid $30,000 in April 2012. All of the consideration paid was distributed to eight individuals comprising all of the common shareholders of Soapbox pursuant to instructions from Soapbox. We valued the license at $76,000, comprising of the fair value of the 200,000 shares on date of grant ($46,000) and the $30,000 of cash. The license, by its terms, has an indefinite life and is therefore not subject to amortization. Our Executive Chairman owns a majority preferred interest in Soapbox and received no portion of the consideration paid.

On November 27, 2012 we entered into a Settlement and Mutual Special Release with our Executive Chairman as final global settlement of any and all outstanding matters related to Anthony Macaluso’s ownership and control relationship in Soapbox Mobile, including any and all claims he may have individually related to or on behalf of Soapbox in any capacity held by him formerly or currently. Macaluso claimed his personal capital outlay for his ownership interest in Soapbox Mobile was $755,000, made primarily due to their Anywhere software platform. We agreed to total consideration of $755,000, which included the $155,000 received related to the original Option Agreement from June 2011.

Baksa 2011 Convertible Note and Warrants Purchase - On November 14, 2011, one of our Directors, Stephen Baksa purchased from us a $500,000 promissory note and 1,000,000 warrants, in exchange for $500,000 cash.

The modifications are consistent with the terms of the notes and warrants issued in our September 2012 offering which was completed in October 2012.

Outstanding Current Service Provider High-Exercise-Price Plan Options - In November 2012, we modified the terms of stock options granted to certain employees, officers, directors, and active 3rd party service providers. Under the modified terms, we reduced the number of shares to be purchased under these option grants from a total of 17,134,334 shares to a total of 14,534,934 shares with a reduction in the purchase price on these grants from original prices ranging from $1.375 to $0.90 per share to $0.469 per share. A breakdown of the modified grants is as follows:

	Shares under		Shares under
	Original		Modified

The modifications to options held by our officers are listed in Item 11 “Executive Compensation” of this report on Form 10-K. In addition to reducing the number of options previously granted at the reduced purchase price, Messrs. Macaluso and Orsini voluntarily agreed to amend their stock options to defer vesting of already vested options related to their employment agreements and half of their unvested options for an additional six months.

Richard Siber, a Company director, participated in the plan and as a result options granted in 2010 were reduced from 3,000,000 options exercisable at $0.90 per share to 2,550,000 exercisable at $0.469 per share. Additional options granted in 2010 were reduced from 50,000 options exercisable at $1.375 per share to 40,000 exercisable at $0.469 per share.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors presently consists of six members. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Baksa, Mr. Siber and Mr. Levine are “independent," as defined by SEC rules adopted pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Although our stock is not listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market at this time, we are required to determine the independence of our directors by reference to the rules of a national securities exchange or of a national securities association (such as the Nasdaq Stock Market). In accordance with these requirements, we have determined that Richard Siber, Stuart R. Levine and Stephen D. Baksa are "independent directors," as determined in accordance with Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

Mr. Macaluso and Mr. Orsini are executive officers of the Company, and therefore are not independent directors. Mr. Sandelman has recently joined the Board and as such it has not yet made a formal determination regarding independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Single Touch Systems

Encinitas, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Single Touch Systems ("the Company") as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2012. Single Touch Systems management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Single Touch Systems as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization, History and Business

Single Touch Systems, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems, Inc.

The Company offers its patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, and multi-channel messaging gateway to its customers enabling them to reach consumers on all types of connected devices.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2011 amounts to the 2012 classifications for comparative purposes.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Single Touch Systems, Inc. and it's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc., and HSN, Inc. (an inactive company formed in New Jersey on August 21, 2001). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived on a per message/notification basis through the Company’s patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform designed to create multi-channel messaging gateways for all types of connected devices. The Company also earns revenue for services, such as programming, licensure on Software as a Service (“SaaS”) basis, and on a performance basis, such as when a client acquires a new customer through our platform. Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable, and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:

Software development	2- 3 years
Equipment	5 years
Computer hardware	5 years
Office furniture	7 years

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. The Company determined that none of its long-term assets at September 30, 2012 or September 30, 2011 were impaired.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Prepaid Royalties

The Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it abandons.

Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration

All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services and property. The non-cash consideration paid pertains to consulting services and the acquisition of a software license (See Note 6).

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuance of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then-current fair value as of each financial reporting date.

The Company calculates the fair value of option grants and warrant issuances utilizing the Binomial pricing model. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time stock options are granted and warrants are issued to employees and non-employees, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock option or warrant. The Company estimates forfeiture rates for all unvested awards when calculating the expense for the period. In estimating the forfeiture rate, the Company monitors both stock option and warrant exercises as well as employee termination patterns. The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.

During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense totaling $502,591, of which $448,991 was recognized through the vesting of 6,700,666 common stock options and $53,600 was recognized as compensation on the modification of 1,000,000 warrants granted to a consultant under a new agreement replacing a prior agreement (See Note 12). During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense totaling $4,592,430 from the issuance of a total 3,625,000 shares of its common stock to three officers, a director, and outside legal counsel valued at $3,047,000 and from the grant of common stock options and warrants valued at $1,545,430 (See Note 12).

Loss per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2012 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 64,174,869 shares and include 23,116,595 warrants, 32,210,000 options and $ 4,424,137 of debt and accrued interest convertible into 8,848,274 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of the 64,174,869 potential common shares at September 30, 2012, 8,499,334 were not vested. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share total 49,810,986 shares and include 16,030,986 warrants and 33,780,000 options.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time to time exceed the federally-insured limit.

Of the Company’s revenue earned during the year ended September 30, 2012, approximately 99.7% was generated from contracts with eleven customers covered under the Company’s master services agreement with AT&T. Of the Company’s revenue earned during the year ended September 30, 2011, approximately 96.4% was generated from contracts with nine customers covered under the Company’s master services agreement with AT&T.

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 and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Convertible Debentures

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" ("ASU 2012-02"), which permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit's indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the asset's carrying value before applying the two-step goodwill impairment model that is currently in place. If it is determined through the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit's indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not greater than the asset's carrying value, the remaining impairment steps would be unnecessary. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing companies to go directly to the quantitative assessment. ASU 2012-02 is effective for the Company for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed beginning October 1, 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2012-02 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change.

Software license

On March 30, 2012, the Company was granted an exclusive perpetual license to utilize the “Anywhere” software and related source code from Soap Box Mobile, Inc. (“Soapbox”). Under the terms of the underlying agreement, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock to Soapbox and paid $30,000 in April 2012. All of the consideration paid was distributed to eight individuals comprising all of the common shareholders of Soapbox pursuant to instruction from Soapbox.

The license, by its terms, has an indefinite life and is therefore not subject to amortization. The Company’s Executive Chairman owns a majority preferred interest in Soapbox and received no portion of the consideration paid.

On November 27, 2012 The Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Special Release with the Company’s Executive Chairman and agreed to pay its executive chairman $755,000 for his full release from any claims related to the March 30, 2012 Soap Box Mobile, Inc. agreement and the included perpetual exclusive license to utilize “Anywhere” (See Note 14 - Subsequent Events),

7. Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The effective tax rate on the net loss before income taxes differs from the U.S. statutory rate as follows:

	September 30,

U.S statutory rate		34	%		34	%

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, formerly FIN 48, and “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the year ended September 30, 2012 or for the year ended September 30, 2011.

The Company’s policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no income tax, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years beginning on or after October 1, 2008 or California state income tax examination by tax authorities for years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. We are not currently involved in any income tax examinations.

8. Obligation on Patent Acquisitions

On March 15, 2010, the Company purchased six patents and three patent applications from an unrelated third party (the “Seller”) for $900,000 of which $550,000 was paid on the execution of the purchase agreement. Pertaining to the agreement, $175,000 was due on or before March 15, 2011, which was paid, and the final installment of $175,000 was due on or before March 15, 2012. The terms of the agreement were modified on March 1, 2012 whereby the remaining $175,000 became payable in two installments. Under the modified terms, an installment of $87,500 became due on or before March 15, 2012 and was paid. The fourth and final installment of $87,500 was paid on October 15, 2012.

As the original and modified agreements do not provide for any stated interest on the payments, the Company was required to impute interest on the payment stream. The Company present valued the payments at $831,394 using an effective interest rate of 15% in its computation. Of the $831,394, $706,685 was allocated to the purchased patents, and $124,709 was allocated to the patent applications. The patents are being amortized over 7 years. The value assigned to the patent applications is not being amortized. Upon the issuance of a patent, its respective cost will be amortized over the patent’s estimated useful life. Costs associated with abandoned applications are charged to operations. The Company granted the Seller a license to utilize all acquired patents over their respective lives on a worldwide basis for no consideration. In addition, the Company is required to reserve for the Seller ten abbreviated dialing codes for a five-year period. The patents have been pledged as collateral against the remaining balance due.

Interest accrued and charged to operations for the year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $11,320 and $33,733, respectively.

9. Convertible Debt

The expiration dates of common stock warrants issued in connection with the modified notes were also extended to September 7, 2015. The modification of the terms of the convertible debt did not extinguish any portion of debt pursuant; therefore no gain or loss was recorded due to the modifications.

In connection with the Company’s second private offering dated September 7, 2012, the Company received a total of $2,312,000 in consideration for issuing convertible notes and warrants to purchase 4,624,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to 43 investors.

11. Fair Value

The Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2012 consist principally of notes payable and convertible debentures. Notes payable and convertible debentures are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. The Company determines the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations.

The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC No. 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:
