Non-cash investing and financing activities:

For the six months ended March 31, 2014

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 147,981 shares of its common stock through cashless excercises of 1,166,476 stock options granted to employees.

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, debt totaling $50,000 was converted into 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

For the six-months ended March 31, 2013

During the six month ended March 31,2013, the Company received $688,000 through the issuance of convertible debt including common stock warrants to purchase 1,376,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share. The Company recognized discounts against the principal amounts due totaling $163,849 with an offsetting amount charged to equity. (See Note 9)

In connection with the above debt issuance, the Company paid placement fees that included cash totaling $48,475 and warrants to purchase 110,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.304 per share. The warrants were valued at $27,445. The total placement fee of $75,920 is recognized as a loan fee and is reflected in the balance sheet as an additional discount against the principal and accrued interest due on the underlying convertible debt. (See Note 9)

During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company's Executive Chairman granted an option to a third party to purchase a total of 5,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock personally owned by him. Of the 5,750,000 options granted, 3,750,000 have an exercise price of $0.295 per share and 2,000,000 have an exercise price of $0.48 per share. The options expire two years from date of grant. The options were granted in exchange for consulting services that directly benefit the Company. Therefore, the Company recorded the fair value of the options granted of $847,300 to equity as contributed capital with an offset to prepaid expense. The $847,300 is being amortized to operations over the two year term of the consulting agreement (See Note 10).

During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized stock-based compensation totaling $1,596,963 of which $950,818 was recognized on the vesting of 3,194,400 options, $489,726 was recognized as addiitonal compensation on the November 30, 2012 modification of 17,134,334 previously granted options, and $156,419 from the above indicated amortization of prepaid consulting expense.

During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company charged amortization of a beneficial conversion feature on convertible debt due to a Director of $3,996 to equity.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED 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 is a technology based mobile solutions provider serving businesses, advertisers and brands. Through patented technologies and a modular, adaptable platform, Single Touch's 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2013 amounts to the 2014 classifications for comparative purposes.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Single Touch Systems Inc. and its wholly- owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc., and Single Touch Interactive R&D IP, LLC. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are 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, net

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 March 31, 2014 were impaired.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

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 over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Capital Leases

Assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased assets. The assets are depreciated over the lower of their related lease terms or their estimated productive lives. Depreciation of the assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.

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. The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the six months ended March 31, 2014 or for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense. During the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no income taxes, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liabilities on the balance sheet.

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 Notes 5 and 7).

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.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 505-50, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment” and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.” These standards define a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Binomial or Black-Scholes option-pricing models, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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 March 31, 2014 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 52,095,000 shares and include 13,489,500 warrants, 30,849,500 options and $3,878,000 of debt and accrued interest convertible into 7,756,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

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.

13. Fair Value

The Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2014 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.

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 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.

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:

March 31, 2014:

	Fair Value Measurements
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
Assets:

Employment Agreements

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) 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, 750,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on May 16, 2013, 750,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on November 16, 2013 and 1,500,000 of the options (at an exercise price of $0.90 per share) vesting on May 16, 2014. 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. 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 program where we modified the terms of stock options granted to certain employees, officers, directors, and active third 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.

Effective November 1, 2013, Kurt Streams serves as our Chief Financial Officer.

Our agreement with Mr. Streams also calls for successive one-year renewals unless either party elects against renewal. Mr. Streams can also receive discretionary cash bonuses. We also agreed to grant Mr. Streams 25,000 shares of our common stock under our 2009 Employee and Consultant Stock Plan, subject to the following restriction: all of such shares shall be forfeited to us if Mr. Streams’ employment with us ceases for any reason; provided, that such restriction and risk of forfeiture shall cliff-lapse on the 180th day after his start date at the Company.

16. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through May 13, 2014, the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

On April 25, 2014, the Company entered into a 38-month operating lease for office space in Boise, Idaho effective May 1, 2014, with a Company option to extend the term by three years. The lease calls for free rent for the first two month, followed by twelve monthly rent payments of $2,086, twelve monthly rent payments of $2,158 and twelve monthly payments of $2,229.

On April 21, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), Single Touch Interactive R&D IP, LLC (“Interactive”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, through a joint venture arrangement organized as a limited liability company (the “JV”) with Personalized Media Communications, LLC (“PMC”), entered into a Joint Licensing Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a national broadcasting entity (“Licensee”) pursuant to which the JV grants the Licensee a term-limited license ( the “License”) to all patents licensable by the JV (“Patents”), including an exclusive license to assert the Patents against certain infringing parties in the media distribution industry. In exchange for the License, the Licensee will pay an annual fee of $1,250,000 for a minimum of three years (“Annual Fee”). Commencing three years from the Effective Date, the Licensee may each year, at its sole option, pay a $1,250,000 license fee to renew the License for every year for four additional years. Once the Licensee has paid a total of $8,750,000 in license fees, either in one lump sum or after paying $1,250,000 annually for seven years, the License is deemed to be perpetual. For Patents infringement actions provided for under the License, the Licensee will pay 20% of the gross proceeds from settlements received less any Annual Fee amounts paid and litigation costs incurred (“Share of Proceeds”). Interactive and its joint venture partner will serve as co-plaintiffs with the Licensee in infringement actions under the License and the Licensee will be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs of the JV associated with being a co-plaintiff in supporting Licensee in such litigation, including attorneys’ fees. The Licensee will pay the Annual Fee and any Share of Proceeds to the JV. Proceeds received by the JV are shared by Interactive and PMC on a 30% and 70% basis, respectively. In the event that the Licensee does not assert any infringement actions under its rights in the License within five years of the Effective Date, the JV may, at its sole option, choose to terminate Licensee’s exclusive right to assert infringement claims with no reduction or adjustment to the Annual Fee.

Item 2 - 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. The Management's Discussion and Analysis may contain “forward-looking statements.” Any statements that are not statements of historical fact 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 grow our business and repay our convertible debentures and 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 our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.

Overview

We are 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 solutions are 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, media placement on mobile devices and Abbreviated Dial Codes. These solutions are enhanced when we deploy imbedded advertisements, sponsorship and couponing.

Our portfolio of intellectual property represents our many years’ innovation in the wireless industry through patented technology that we developed, as well as patented technology we purchased from Microsoft and others. We are dedicated to the monetization of our patents, primarily through licensing agreements that allow others to use our patents in exchange for royalty income and other consideration.

Throughout our history, we have been constrained by the availability of funds to develop and operate our business and intellectual property. We have raised funds by selling shares of our stock, convertible debentures and warrants to insiders and private investors. A variety of non-cash accounting charges have traditionally increased our net losses, including charges for stock based compensation that we have paid to officers, directors, employees, consultants and key vendors who have developed our business from its start-up pre-revenue phase to a fully operational business in which we have grown annual revenues by more than ten times in the past three years.

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, we continued reducing our negative cash flows from operations as a result of 26% growth in revenues and 9% decrease in costs directly associated with revenue. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, on a pro-forma basis when separating out intellectual property related initiatives, our core, underlying business generated positive operating profits and positive cash flow, a trend that was established during fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

As we expand operational activities and seek to monetize our patented technology, we may from time to time experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and we will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations. We are heavily reliant on the revenue we generate from a single customer relationship. Our core mobile media business operates in a relatively new and evolving industry that seeks to gain a larger share of business spending which has traditionally been directed toward older established media solutions. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing these challenges and others that we face, 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

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

During the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2014, our revenue increased by approximately 1% over revenue generated during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 ($1,817,192 in quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1,808,836 in quarter ended March 31, 2013).

Of our revenue earned during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, approximately 99% was generated from contracts with six customers covered under our master services agreement with AT&T. Of our revenue earned during quarter ended March 31, 2013, approximately 100% was generated from contracts with five customers covered under our master services agreement with AT&T.

Royalties and Application Costs represent the direct out-of-pocket costs associated with revenue. Royalties and Application Costs vary substantially in line with Wireless Applications revenue and totaled $767,696 in the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $776,540 in 2013, a decrease of 1%. Our gross margin improved to 58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 57% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase is attributable to the media placement business that started in December 2013 having a relatively higher gross margin than our messaging business. Our underlying gross margin from messaging was 57% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which is unchanged from the 57% gross margin from messaging for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Research and Development expense decreased from $24,050 in quarter ended March 31, 2013 to $11,632 in quarter ended March 31, 2014, representing approximately 1% of revenues, a level that is consistent with past quarters.

Compensation expense, excluding stock based compensation, was $810,876 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $635,203 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $175,673 or 28%, that is primarily attributable to our accruing $574,787 in compensation expense in connection with terminating our employment agreement with our former Executive Chairman on December 13, 2013.

General and administrative expense, excluding stock based compensation, was $726,187 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $815,717 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $89,530 or 11%. The decrease is largely related to less spending on professional fees related to patent matters.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, total stock based compensation expense increased 40% to $266,684 from $190,421 for quarter ended March 31, 2013 as a result of expense recognized for consulting services that were previously paid through issuances of stock options.

Interest expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $191,034 and $279,046, respectively, a decrease of $88,012 or 32%. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to a decrease in the outstanding principal on our convertible debentures.

Our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $1,109,076 as compared to a net loss of $1,072,289 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $36,787 or 3.4% that is primarily attributable to the $175,673 increase in compensation expense and the $76,263 increase in stock based compensation expense for employees, directors and consultants that was partially offset by a $88,012 decrease in interest expense. Excluding stock based compensation, our net loss for March 31, 2014 was $842,392, which includes the one-time compensation expense charge $574,787 noted above. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our net loss, excluding stock based compensation, was $881,868.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, our revenue increased by approximately 26% over revenue generated during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 ($4,724,321 in the six months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $3,756,114 in quarter ended March 31, 2013).

Of our revenue earned during the six months ended March 31, 2014, approximately 83% was generated from contracts with seven customers covered under our master services agreement with AT&T and 16% was generated from our agreement with Zoove Cooperation. Of our revenue earned during the six months ended March 31, 2013, approximately 99% was generated from contracts with eight customers covered under our master services agreement with AT&T.

Royalties and Application Costs represent the direct out-of-pocket costs associated with revenue. Royalties and Application Costs vary substantially in line with Wireless Applications revenue and totaled $1,635,789 in the six months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,660,333 in 2013, a decrease of 2%. Our gross margin improved to 65% for the six months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 56% for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to the $750,000 in licensing revenue in six months ended March 31, 2014, for which there are no Royalties and Application Cost. Our underlying gross margin from messaging, which excludes licensing and media placement business, was 58% for the six months ended March 31, 2014, which is improved from the 56% gross margin from messaging for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Research and Development expense increased from $32,756 in the six months ended March 31, 2013 to $35,725 in the six ended March 31, 2014, representing approximately 1% of revenues, a level that is consistent with past periods.

Compensation expense, excluding stock based compensation, was $1,873,755 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $1,280,821 for the six months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $592,934 or 46%, that is primarily attributable to our accruing $574,787 in compensation expense in connection with terminating our employment agreement with our former Executive Chairman on December 13, 2013.

General and administrative expense, excluding stock based compensation, was $1,545,800 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $1,586,398 for the six months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $40,598 or 3%. The decrease is largely related to less spending on professional fees related to patent matters and travel expenses.

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, total stock based compensation expense decreased 31% to $1,108,390 from $1,596,963 for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is attributable to fewer stock based compensation issuances as part of our effort to reduce the number of issued and potentially issuable shares of our common stock.

Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $383,823 and $587,553, respectively, a decrease of $203,730 or 35%. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to a decrease in the outstanding principal on our convertible debentures.

Our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was $2,160,809 as compared to a net loss of $3,304,444 for the six months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1,143,635 or 35% that is primarily attributable to the $968,207 increase in revenue, our improved gross margin and the $488,573 decrease in stock based compensation expense for employees, directors and consultants. Excluding stock based compensation, our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was $842,392, which includes the one-time compensation expense charge $574,787, noted above. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, our net loss, excluding stock based compensation, was $881,868.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2014, we had total assets of $7,619,781 and total liabilities of $6,337,684. As of September 30, 2013, we had total assets of $6,523,206 and total liabilities of $5,398,842. The $1,096,575 or 17% increase in assets is primarily attributable to the $1,165,297 increase in cash and cash equivalents and $450,697 increase in accounts receivable. At March 31, 2014, we had cash of $2,312,292 as compared to $1,146,995 at September 30, 2013, an increase of $1,165,297. The $938,842 increase in liabilities in the year since September 30, 2013 is largely due to the $574,787 of severance costs accrued as of March 31, 2014 for the termination of the employment agreement with our former Executive Chairman on December 13, 2013.

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, we used $133,612 in cash for operating activities as compared to the $749,731 that we used for operating activities during the six months ended March 31, 2013. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, on a pro-forma basis when separating out intellectual property related initiatives, our core, underlying business generated positive operating profits and positive cash flow, a trend that has been established during fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was $392,413, of which $191,521 represented the capitalized internal costs of our software development for our core operations and $145,415 represents investments in our IP that is designed to strengthen our IP portfolio and expand our mobile communications/advertising offerings.

Cash provided from financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $1,691,322. The Company received $1,900,907 from issuances of our common stock in connection with stock options and warrants exercised and we spent $201,461 to repurchase 389,060 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $0.52, which we retired.

Over the next twelve months we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds from operations may be sufficient to sustain our current level of operations. Inasmuch as the Company is pursuing the monetization of its IP, which plans are subject to change, additional external financing relating to such efforts will be required. Increased acceleration in our organic business and/or other economic influences might also necessitate other financing. In addition, our convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,708,000 have maturity dates ranging from August 31, 2014 to October 5, 2014. While the convertible notes are convertible at a price of $0.50 per share, if the investors do not convert the convertible notes, we will be required to repay the notes. Currently, we believe our funds on had will be insufficient to repay the notes and we may be forced to raise funds to repay thenotes. There can be no assurance that we will be able obtain additional financing, if at all or upon terms that will be acceptable to us. There can, moreover, be no assurance of when, if ever, our operations will become profitable.

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 of America. 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 keys to an understanding of our 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 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.

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 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for Smaller Reporting Companies.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have not made a change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 will continue to implement measures to improve the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in response to our continued operational development.
