This Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Report (the "Financial Statements)
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States ("GAAP"). Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") are quoted in United States dollars.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity requirements arise principally from our working capital needs, including the cost of goods and marketing costs. Although in the future we intend to fund our liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand and revenues from operations, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company had incurred $3,472,424 in expenses (of which $338,260 were non-cash expenses) and had realized only $672,968 in revenues.
Accordingly, our ability to initiate our plan of operations and continue as a going concern is currently dependent on our ability to raise external capital. We have raised $350,000 on the issuance of three convertible notes. We believe that it will be very difficult to obtain any form of debt financing without equity conversion terms due to our current lack of revenues from operations and the current state of our balance sheet, including a lack of hard assets against which to borrow. Accordingly, we are focusing on obtaining equity financing.
From November, 2007, through Septmeber, 2008, the Company raised approximately $2,160,000 in three private offerings, before costs. In addition, we may be required to seek additional funding.
We hope to raise sufficient capital to finance marketing programs to gain market share. We believe the cost of marketing general purpose prepaid debit cards will increase as more competitors enter the market. These new competitive forces will increase media costs on television and radio.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008
Revenues
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, merchant processing services realized revenues of $285,437 and the Bank Freedom prepaid card realized revenues of $387,531 for a total of $672,968. This represents a decrease of 3% or $20,261 from $693,229 for the same period last year. The decrease is the result of merchant processing revenues not continuing with its consulting line of business, offset by no revenues generated in 2007 by prepaid card operations. In 2008, merchant processing revenues are generated in the form of commissions paid as a percentage of credit card volume for the retailers engaged, while the prepaid card business model earns revenues through interchange and service fees after issuance of the cards.

This represents an increase of 40% or $96,326 over $238,863 realized in the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the operations of the prepaid card business, partially offset by the decrease in merchant processing consulting costs. In 2008, Cost of Sales includes, bank and Mastercard Association fees, merchant processing fees, and fulfillment costs.
