This Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the "Financial Statements").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 2008 VS. 2007
Revenues
During the year ended December 31, 2008, merchant processing services realized revenues of $404,103 and the Bank Freedom prepaid card realized revenues of $614,793 for a total of $1,018,896. This represents an increase of 9% or $80,900 from $937,996 for the same period last year. The increase is the result of no revenues generated in 2007 by prepaid card operations, offset by merchant processing revenues not continuing with its consulting line of business. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred $425,346 in costs directly attributed to our sales. This represents an increase of 43% or $127,343 over $298,003 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.
Expenses During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred $3,248,555 in expenses. This represents a 142% or $1,903,989 increase over $1,344,566 realized in the same period last year. Expenses consisted of the following: EXPENSES: 2008 2007 ---------------------------------------- ----------- -------- Sales $1,214,914 $731,495 Professional Fees (784,219) 116,538 Selling General and Administrative Costs 1,167,261 418,941 Related Party Expense - Rent 82,161 77,592 |
Sales - Consist of internet marketing to potential cardholders using various affiliate marketing channels and pay-per-click campaigns. This category also includes direct mail, radio commercial production, radio air time, and printing expense necessary to attract new cardholders. This represents a 66% or $483,419 increase over $731,495 realized in the same period last year, as 2007 only recognized these expenses in the final quarter of the year.
Professional Fees - Consist of accounting, legal and other professional fees including the cost of the fair market value for the stock provided to investor representatives for investor referrals. This represents a 573% or $667,681 increase over $116,538 realized in the same period last year, as most of these expenses did not exist in 2007.
Selling General and Administrative Costs - Consists of insurance, office supplies and expense, payroll expenses, investor referral fees and other miscellaneous expenses. The 179% or $748,320 increase over $418,941 realized in the same period in 2007 is the result of the new prepaid card operations.
Related Party Expense - Rent - Consists of office space rental. This represents an increase of 6% or $4,569 over $77,592 realized from the same period in 2007, resulting from prorate share of office space occupied by the prepaid card operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
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 year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had incurred $3,673,901 in expenses (of which $330,689 were non-cash expenses) and had realized only $1,018,896 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
From November, 2007, through September, 2008, the Company raised approximately $2,164,237 in three private offerings, before costs. In addition, we may be required to seek additional funding.
