Organizational History

 

Our predecessor, Maximus Exploration Corporation was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 29, 2005, and was a reporting shell company (“Maximus”). Extraordinary Vacations Group, Inc. (“EXVG”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, June 2004. Extraordinary Vacations USA Inc. (“EVUSA”), EXVG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is a Delaware corporation, incorporated on June 24, 2002. On October 9, 2008, EXVG agreed to sell 100% of EVUSA to Maximus and consummated a reverse merger with Maximus. Maximus then changed its name to Next 1 Interactive, Inc. (“Next 1” or “Company”). The transaction is described below.

 

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 24, 2008, by and among Andriv Volianuk, a 90.7% stockholder of Maximus, EXVG and EVUSA, Mr. Volianuk sold his 5,000,000 shares of Maximus common stock, representing 100% of his shares, to EXVG for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. After the sale, Mr. Volianuk did not own any shares of Maximus. EXVG then reissued the 5,000,000 Maximus shares to the management of EXVG in exchange for the cancellation of their preferred and common stock of EXVG under the same terms and conditions as that offered to EXVG shareholders.

 

Pursuant to a share exchange agreement, dated October 9, 2008, between Maximus, EXVG and EVUSA, EXVG exchanged 100% of its shares in EVUSA (the “EVUSA Shares”) for 13 million shares of common stock of Maximus (the “Share Exchange”), resulting in EXVG becoming the majority shareholder of Maximus. EXVG then proceeded to distribute the 13 million shares of Maximus common stock to the stockholders of EXVG (“EXVG Stockholders”) and the management of EXVG, on a pro rata basis. As a result of these transactions, EVUSA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maximus. Maximus then amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to Next 1 and to authorize 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share. Such transactions are hereafter referred to as the “Acquisition.”

 

The purpose of the Acquisition was so that Next 1 would become a fully reporting company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and have our stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”).

At the time of the Acquisition, there were 18,511,500 shares of common stock of Next 1 issued and outstanding, of which 13,000,000 were held by the EXVG Stockholders and 5,000,000 were held by the management of Next 1 and 511,500 shares by the Company’s investors. Of the 13,000,000 shares held by the former stockholders of EXVG, 5,646,765 shares were held by the executive officers and directors of Next 1.

 

On October 9, 2012, Next 1 and RealBiz Media Group, Inc., formerly known as Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs”), , completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 4, 2012 (the “Exchange Agreement”). Under the Exchange Agreement, our Company exchanged with Webdigs all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Next 1 (“Attaché”). Attaché owns approximately 85% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc. which is the parent corporation of RealBiz360, Inc. (“RealBiz”). RealBiz is a real estate media services company whose proprietary video processing technology has made it one of the leaders in providing home virtual tours to the real estate industry. In exchange for our Attaché shares, our Company received a total of 93 million shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Webdigs Series A Stock”). The exchange of Attaché shares for Webdigs Series A Stock is referred to as the “Exchange Transaction.”

Our Business

 

We are a media based company focusing on two segments: travel and real estate. The Company's mission has been to both create and acquire travel and real estate video content that can be delivered on any screen (Television, web and mobile), all with interactive advertising and transactional shopping components that engage and enable viewers to request information, make purchase and get an in-depth look at products and services all through their device of choice.

 

Next One Interactive (NXOI) is the parent company of Maupintours Extraordinary Vacations, Next Trip VoyageTV, its travel division, and holds a significant interest in Realbiz Media Group, Inc. a publicly traded real estate media company. Additionally the Company holds certain travel film footage assets through RRTV Network (its discontinued Television Network). The Company is positioning itself to emerge as a multi revenue stream “Next Generation” media company, representing the convergence of TV, Mobile devices and the Internet by providing multiple platform dynamics for interactivity on TV, Video On Demand (VOD) and web solutions. The Company has worked with multiple distributors beta testing its platforms for both travel and real estate as part of its planned use of its TV programs and film footage for on demand viewing by consumers on web, mobile and TV Networks. The list of MSO’s (Multiple System Operator) the Company has worked with includes Comcast, Cox, Time Warner and Direct TV.

 

Over the last three years the Company accumulated significant debt as a result of launching and operating a full time television network for travel and real estate - RRTV Networks. Unfortunately the economic environment for real estate was extremely difficult as the housing market went through the greatest decline in U.S. history. As such management was faced with difficult choices and embarked on significant cost cutting and structuring efforts. As a major part of the structuring, Next 1 discontinued broadcasting of the R&R Network as well as eliminated or realigned its non-conforming operations, reduced staffing and facility leases and worked with its creditors in efforts to either extend or settle debt. Additionally its real estate division - Next 1 Realty was sold as part of as share exchange to Webdigs to create a new publicly traded real estate media service company – Realbiz Media Group, Inc. (“Realbiz”)

 

With the remaining operations, the Company turned its focus to the build out of web based operations that incorporated the Company’s significant film footage library in efforts to deliver an enhanced user experience for its travel and real estate platforms. This restructuring for both travel and real estate divisions when completed will streamline operations and better positioned the Company for the interactive revolution underway, referred to as “TV everywhere.”

 

In order to accomplish this goal the Company has and will continue to incur a number of expenditures throughout the balance of the year. New expenditures will include: (1) additional broadcast distribution fees for Video on Demand, (2) build out of complimentary websites and mobile solutions, and (3) outsourcing of key interactive technology solutions to complement our in-house expertise in maximizing the efficiency of the operation. Additionally, management has looked to use its limited financial resources to reconfigure and/or retire existing “floorless debt” while at the same time implementing new travel services with key suppliers to create travel offerings utilizing its film footage and displaying on media platforms on an on demand basis.

 

The Company’s targeted focus of reconfiguring its film assets in the travel and real estate short video clips so consumers can access them On-Demand and act on them through interactive services for television, mobile and the Internet puts the Company in a position to address advertisers’ evolving need to focus on exploiting video opportunities on multiple platforms with the convergence of internet, television and mobile. The Company has developed and assembled key assets that allow it to provide media and technology solutions for consumers in the Home and Travel arenas across multiple media platforms. These two verticals (Home and Travel) hold significant appeal to advertisers as they continuously remain in the top five advertising “spend” categories in the North American market. Management believes the steps it is taking now will create a ‘clear differentiation’ in the cable TV space and provide the Company’s shareholders and its clients with a unique and cutting edge solution to both traditional and non-linear platforms to advertise their products.

 

In management’s view, finding the funding to complete and implement its video centric model is the key to allow the Company to secure a foothold in the new interactive platforms for web, mobile and TV platforms. The Company no longer broadcasting the R&R Network as well as the elimination or realignment of non-conforming operations and build out of web based operations has resulted in both a drop in revenue from traditional operations while at the same time showed a marked increase in operational costs. These steps are deemed to be essential by management, as the Company repositions it’s travel and real estate programs to capture potentially very significant new revenue from the combination of “on demand” content and key websites and mobile solutions that can integrate components of the R&R Network.

 

The Company’s management believes that the Next 1’s separation of travel and real estate assets will allow it to focus its efforts on media and travel expansion while still maintaining an ownership in Realbiz. This relationship with Realbiz will ensure Next 1’s travel operations will have access to Realbiz’s significant distribution and reach into real estate agents and homeowners through its television, web and mobile services. The Realbiz platforms are targeted at home owners and service ideal consumers to promote travel products to. In short Realbiz will provide a great catalyst to accelerate all of Next 1’s travel programs as it reached across multiple media platforms to home owners – a key travel demographic.

 

Since this structuring, Next 1 has entered into several operating agreements and /or has active discussions underway for broadband, cable, Over the Top TV solutions and “video rich” web portals to enhance viewer experience and streamline its operations. At present the Company operates travel companies and travel media services, while indirectly through RealBiz Media Group Inc., it carries on operations of the Home Tour Network. The Home Tour Network owns technology that allows it to create video from real estate agents home listings which can be featured on hundreds of relevant real estate related websites, You Tube and VOD Television Networks in 2 cities on the Cox Communications Network and Comcast Cable Network

While web and mobile video views continue to grow exponentially (especially for the younger demographic) the Company still sees great value in television – especially for the baby boomer generation. Television is enjoyed by all ages and the Cable Market is providing On Demand services for entertainment and information at home. According to A.C. Nielson Co. “the average American watches more than four hours of TV each day, or two months of nonstop TV watching per year. In a 65 year life, that person will have spent nine years glued to the tube.” Cable reaches 70 million U.S. households penetrating 57 percent of the total TV households, and receiving $26 billion total advertising in 2008, source is TV-Free America.

 

The Company’s plan is to expand its revenue base by exploiting all avenues available to it on the Real Estate and Travel verticals – two channels where it has expertise and knowledge. During the past year, the Company concentrated on restructuring, implementing Video on Demand Solutions for both television and web. As a result we saw decreased revenues accompanied by significant increases in expenditures to put the model in place.

The site is scheduled for launch in the 2nd quarter of this year and will provide users with a diverse video experience that entertains, informs, and offers utility and savings.

NextTrip.com, in conjunction with its Connext1 program and key media partners (including Realbiz Media, M80, WAYN and Fareportal) will look to serve relevant videos to travelers via four key elements: (i) television ads (ii) travel video on demand for web and TV (iii) broadband telecast (with the web player surrounded by interactive banner ads and/or discount travel coupons) and (iv) wireless access to the network on smart phones/devices. The Company is continuing to build out a targeted travel video with interactive advertising and transactional shopping components that engage and enable viewers to request information, make reservations and get an in-depth look at products and services all through their device of choice. The Company believes this approach will allow for multiple revenue streams and integrated media platforms that deliver measurable return on investment to its advertisers, sponsors and business partners.

 

Additionally, “on demand” travel solution allows users to access travel content via digital platforms including Web, Cable, Broadband and mobile. This delivery of travel information, services and entertainment to consumers will help the Company to capture multiple revenue streams including transactional commissions, referral fees, advertising and sponsorship. NextTrip.com was originally launched in July of 2008 as Nexttrip.com. Media and travel booking solutions are being restructured with fulfillment of Travel bookings being handled by Mark Travel. The Company is targeting completion of new booking engines and video content by July 2013.The website is www.NextTrip.com.

 

3.Trip Professionals.com

 

The Company operates a Trip Professional Membership Program. The program allows members to join for a $199 annual fee and earn 80% of the commissions on travel products purchased though the member. At present the Company is working on a new booking engine whereby members can access wholesale pricing and set commissions and is currently being redesigned to allow its members access to vacations at wholesale pricing, view destination video and adjust commissions within acceptable limits.

 

Web Properties

 

The websites and mobile applications have started to drive incremental revenues based on the promotion and awareness through the Connext1 program and VOD TV platforms. The Company has engaged several tourism boards including Japan, Egypt, Columbia, Hawaii and others as it rolls out its Connext1 program. In addition to cooperative advertising programs it is anticipated that Connext1will generate long term benefits through sales commissions on the sales of tour packages in 2013.

VoyageTV and NextTrip /Connext 1 Media Overview

 

1.VoyageTV

  

Voyage.tv is an online travel channel that produces and distributes travel video programming on the Internet, cable television and Video on Demand. Voyage.tv also has a branded YouTube channel (VoyageChannel), which broadcasts select videos from Voyage’s slate and provides an alternate portal for viewers to access content.

  

The Company was founded in 2006 and was merged into Next 1 in February 2013. Functioning as a tool for exploring destinations, sharing travel experiences and booking trips, Voyage.tv is a global platform for travelers to exchange advice and access an inside look at destinations around the world. Video segments are accompanied by an array of articles written by resident editors within each destination and journalists that include travel writing on dining, nightlife, spas, area excursions, attractions, sightseeing, tours, shopping and other lifestyle interests. Program Categories include:

   

72-Hours highlights top attractions or things to do within a destination

Next 1 plans to intergrate VoyageTV’s thousands of hours of video footage, distribution channels and partners in with its Connext 1 and NextTrip platforms to accelerate awareness of travel products, promote travel sales and deliver targeted advertising to consumers at the same time it delivers unique destination videos within several branded program categories. Next 1 Interactive operated a fully programmed television network know as Resort and Residence TV from November 2009 to March of 2012. The channel delivered current and relevant programming about the two great passion areas in life – Home and Travel. While the Network served as a significant means of awareness, the Company believes one of the true hidden values is in the thousands of hours of travel video that were acquired and developed during the network operations. Adding the VoyageTV content will give the Company an impressive video library. As consumers move to an on demand world that uses videos accessible from any device, Next 1 will give consumers access to thousands of relevant videos, many with transactional capabilities linking by way of two new “over the top” television, broadband TV (web based) and Travel Video on Demand Networks – under the VoyageTV and Next Trip branding.

 

This linkage of NextTrip Video on Demand Networks with Television, Web and Mobile devices will give viewers the ability to go from watching a television show such as “Extraordinary Vacations” to link directly to specific featured trips available for purchase on the Video on Demand Network. The consumer viewing the Video on Demand Networks may request additional information, order discount coupons, request a call from a licensed agent or purchase from the comfort of their living room. This viewing and video linkage will be available on Next 1’s TV, Broadband, Web and Mobile channels.

 

Key to this interactivity is Next 1 Interactive holds licenses in the travel industries thereby allowing it to receive referral fees and commissions in addition to traditional advertising. Additionally the Company’s long term travel relationships allow it to both access travel products and produce relevant and timely video content for the viewers.

 

2.NextTrip /Connext 1 Media Overview

 

NextTrip/Connext 1 Media is positioning itself to emerge as a multi revenue stream “Next Generation” media company, representing the convergence of TV, Mobile devices and the Internet by providing multiple platform dynamics for interactivity on the consumer’s device of choice.

www.nxoi.com ;
www.RRTV.com ;
www.NextTrip.com ;
www.voyage.tv;
www.Maupintour.com ; and
www.tripprofessionals.com .

 

In travel the Company is actively working on creating and/or expanding several key relationships with travel and media suppliers to allow it to monitor and distribute its travel products, videos and key travel suppliers videos with calls to action across millions of web and mobile devices. As the travel businesses gain more awareness through these media platforms, it is expected that the Travel Unit’s revenues will increase significantly, not only from increased tour business, but from new revenue streams generated by the network, more specifically, revenue generated from web advertising and referrals as well as TV shows, commercials and leads.

 

The media assets, while generating distinct advertising revenue streams, also affords the Company the opportunity to leverage the growth of the non-media based travel businesses. This makes for a sound business opportunity to significantly improve the marketing scope of the base travel business through both traditional outlets and its extensive media reach.

 

Travel revenues are generated by Maupintour, NextTrip.com and the Trip Professionals program. Our current market is primarily the North American leisure travel industry, though our websites are available in English worldwide.

 

Maupintour’s revenue is generated from the sale of high end escorted tours and Flexible Independent Travel (FIT) tours. NextTrip.com is a travel website with primary focus centered on vacation packages. The Company currently uses certain of its media assets like clips from its Travel Magazine TV series to promote travel destinations on the Travel sites. We plan to significantly expand the number of travel clips available on the web to both our properties and other company websites by utilizing much of the content that was broadcast as part of R&R’s travel destinations programming as well as footage available through tourism boards and key travel suppliers.

The Company’s target market is the traditional travel sector, which the Company continues to operate as mature businesses. These businesses continue to serve their existing client bases, and include Maupintour and NextTrip.com. The core travel businesses cater to upscale clientele seeking customized trips. The Company estimates that its target market for Maupintour represents less than 5% of all U.S. domestic leisure travelers. We believe that upscale travelers, primarily discerning “Baby Boomers,” seek travel solutions rather than pre-packaged tours, and the Company has made a consistent business of catering to this niche marketplace, rather than compete on the lower end of the market which is now dominated by names like Expedia and Travelocity. Conversely, the introduction of programs like Trip Professionals could target a significantly larger percentage of U.S. domestic leisure travelers as the products and commission sharing represent substantial savings to the average consumer.

 

Real Estate Division

 

In 2012 the Company sold all real estate assets of Next 1 Realty to a separate public entity with Next 1 initially controlling 93 percent ownership. This move was undertaken by management to allow separation of the real estate and travel assets and thereby assist in fund raising without Next 1 incurring any additional debt. Realbiz Media then started a planned nationwide rollout of the Home Tour Network in conjunction with its partner Realtor.com by initially launching the first 2 of multiple cities in the U.S.A (Las Vegas and Atlanta). Additionally during this period the Company suspended the R&R Network distribution on DirecTV and cable distribution. It is the Company’s intention to add additional broadcast distributions through “on demand” solutions for web, mobile and television VOD networks through both its own operations and through Realbiz operations.

 

Next 1 is a multi-faceted interactive media company whose key focus is around two of the most universal, yet powerful consumer-passion categories - real estate and travel. The Company plans to deliver targeted content via digital platforms including Satellite, Cable, Broadcast, Broadband, Web, Print and Mobile. Its media platforms include a TV Network programming real estate through Realbiz’s Video-On-Demand (“VOD”) channel called Home Tour Network (“HTN”), and operated under the Realtor.com channel. The Realtor.com channel will have a video rich supporting real estate websites, and agent marketing solution known as a MicroVideo App. The Travel operations will include multiple websites including “RRTV.com”, “Maupintour.com”, “NextTrip.com” and “Voyagetv.com”. All sites will be integrated to include Video-On-Demand (“VOD”) featuring thousands of travel videos, articles, social media links and customized booking engines.

 

Next 1 has expended significant capital over the past two years in the creation of its interactive media platforms. The Company is targeting to have all platforms operational by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The platforms will allow the Company to capture multiple revenue streams including transactional commissions, referral fees, advertising and sponsorships. These media platforms have been designed to address the Advertisers’ and Marketers’ needs to provide compelling content and a delivery system in the emerging convergent landscape of the web, television and mobile platforms. Additionally, these integrated media platforms provide for the delivery of measurable return on investment to its advertisers, sponsors and business partners.

 

The most expensive media platforms to roll out will be the real estate portal that encompasses most of the real estate listings in video format as well as the VOD television network - the HTN real estate channel branded as the Realtor.com Channel. The television properties are the key platforms that differentiate the Company from our competition. The ability to launch a full time a nationwide real estate VOD TV network that reaches millions of households and can be accessed by millions of households on the device of their choice is unusual in the television industry. The price of entry, the programming and advertising needs and the opportunity to enhance the multi-platform network with interactive applications and VOD is truly unique.

 

Additionally, the Company has differentiated itself from other media companies through its ownership and operation of businesses in its verticals - travel and real estate. These businesses not only afford the Company multiple industry relationships and affiliations, but further provide industry licenses that should allow the Company to capture sales commissions and referral fees from products advertised and sold through its media platforms. This is a distinct advantage that will provide new revenue streams in addition to the traditional marketing and advertising revenues for both the travel and real estate operations The Company’s executive team has extensive backgrounds in the travel and real estate sectors and has been augmented by experienced media developers and marketers.

 

The Company is in the final stages of structuring to allow it to carefully control its expenses and share costs between its distinct business units. The roll out, promotion and marketing of its various business units and media are inter-related and cross promoted. This allows the Company to control its general and administrative expenses and to leverage the strength of its executive and sales teams for all of its media platforms. Our sales force has been trained to understand the key benefits of all of the Company’s holdings, allowing it to sell advertising, sponsorships, proprietary group travel, affinity programs and services.

RealBiz Media Group Inc. Overview and Business Model Summary

Next 1 is a major shareholder in RealBiz Media Group Inc (Realbiz). Realbiz is in the Real Estate Media and services arena focusing on both Home Search and Home Ownership solutions as key consumer-passion categories. The business model includes:

 

·Web, Mobile and Interactive TV Capabilities
·Video on Demand solutions for Real Estate
·Exclusivity and/or proprietary positioning
·Specialized and/or proprietary technology
·Utilization of Company's real estate licenses
·A scalable, profitable and portable solution for media

RealBiz. is a leader in digital media and marketing for the real estate Industry. The Company includes a fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs) , certain key TV media contracts ( Extraordinary Vacation Homes/ Third home) and a Virtual Tour and Media group (Realbiz 360) which enjoys significant real estate industry servicing contracts. As a combined group, the key driver for all is the Company’s proprietary technology which allows for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with voice and music.

 

Once created, these home listing videos are automatically distributed to multiple media platforms (Television, broadband, web and mobile) for consumer viewing. From this core technology the Company has expanded its operations to encompass the following 3 areas:

 

1.Home Tour Network - Real Estate Virtual Tour and Video on Demand Agent Offering - real estate agents can have a video created of their customer’s homes and then posted on television, over 200 real estate websites, You Tube, and mobile applications for a monthly fee of $89. The Company currently works with over 20,000 agents monthly. This Network offers unique Advertising Opportunities due to the broad media exposure of highly targeted consumers, the Company is positioned to capture income from pre-roll/post-roll advertising for televisions, lead generation fees, banner ads and cross market advertising promotions.

 

2.Realtor.com Partnership – Expanding Home Tour Networks to include Video Portal, Widget and Mobile applications – the Company is developing a major real estate web portal and Agent Widget Program to work in conjunction with Realtor.com under a multiyear agreement. Rollout is planned in the second quarter of 2013 and when finished it will include an “all about home ownership” website for the consumer along with a turnkey marketing model using widgets for the agents.

 

3.Traditional real estate sales – the Company has licenses in 19 States and is positioned to take advantage of both and a improving real estate market.

 

With the move to automate creation processes in combination with emerging video adoption, Realbiz Media now develops custom Enterprise solutions to support our existing and new Franchise partners. Though photos and virtual tours are listed as highly important on the home buyer’s lists, the astonishing growth of YouTube and Social Media fueled by the change in consumer demographics has left the Real Estate Industry scrambling to keep up. Realbiz Media`s direct feed services into listing databases provides for the automated creation and syndication of Virtual Tours and YouTube Videos posted directly to YouTube Channels and promoted on Social Networks. These solutions continue to support our Agent/Broker revenue base through setup and monthly recurring fees. These capabilities and forward thinking were key elements in the establishment of a multiyear contract with Move.com/Realtor.com

 

Overview

 

1.HOME TOUR NETWORK

 

HOME TOUR NETWORK (HTN) is our flagship product to provide hyper-geo local real estate information to localized communities through a variety of mediums such as television, internet and mobile devices. HTN Video on Demand allows consumers to interact with the Real Estate community from the convenience and comfort of home television. The market demographics for VOD are adults in the 24 to 54 age brackets. Not only does VOD allow for brand exposure, VOD allows consumers to self-select relevant programming 24/7.

 

Realbiz patented technology is specifically designed to work with cable and we are the first company to produce and provide a video based content syndication engine that drives far more real estate listing content and advertising to television and the internet, faster, in a more efficient and less costly manner than anyone in the industry. Realbiz will have direct access to both the largest real estate listing resource in the United States, Realtor.com. Realbiz completed multi-faceted long term agreement with Move.com/Realtor.com which includes a revenue sharing program for its VOD product. The first city (Las Vegas) was launched in January 2013, as the Realtor.com Channel. The Realtor.com Channel will be accessed through select cable and satellite providers in various markets, which will include iTV (IPTV) and will have a companion web portal. Our partnership with RDC will support a joint mission to providing innovative products that bring agents and the public together in a positive way. The companies are targeting growth into 180 cities across the United States in the next 24 months.

 

A major opportunity for revenue will come from advertisers who want to appeal to parties associated with the purchase and sale of a home. There are a myriad of potential advertisers including Hardware Chains, Moving and Storage systems, Mortgage Lenders, Title and Escrow, etc. The key message points for these advertisers are reach, frequency, interactivity, connectivity and scale.

With the introduction of the Home Tour Network (HTN) Portal (targeted for launch in June 2013), it will allow consumers to connect with real estate and mortgage professionals best suited to meet their needs. We are releasing a robust and unique video web portal where consumers can search at a geo-local level, locate experts/professionals, and read and join communities. Our goal is provide consumers with free access to real estate information. The plan is to provide this same information through mobile devices. The portal will continue to evolve as more consumers, agents and advertisers join and use the HTN portal. The plan is allow real estate professionals to contribute unique contents and use the social media community to make the portal more engaging and entertaining. We view the real estate and related professionals as key components of the HTN portal.

 

To enhance our agent program we developed and rolled out key improvements to our platforms in the second quarter of 2013 that greatly enhanced agents SEO/VSEO capabilities. The acquisition of YouTube by Google has presented not only challenges but new opportunities for search engine optimization. As Realtors try to understand not only video marketing but how to best utilize and get top rankings on Google search, Realbiz Media has developed a beta application that delivers the crucial elements of a SEO/VSEO strategy. The "Micro site" developed in HTML5 combines a unique property URL with a YouTube embedded video supported by keywords, metatags, and back links. As Google now indexes unique URLs with embedded video, the Micro site will deliver a powerful solution to the Real Estate Industry. The Micro site automated enterprise solution can deliver leading Franchises such as ERA real estate with their core objectives: Increased traffic to their websites and YouTube Channels combined with top search engine rankings for their members. We believe the Microsite application will generate substantial revenues through enterprise deployments, current customer upgrades and new Agent/Broker solutions

 

Real Estate On Demand -For the real estate segment the Company plans to both market the approximately 120,000 “premium VOD TV listings” as well as incorporating over 4.5 million MLS home listings from all major U.S. cities with video on demand and interactive capabilities into a supporting real estate website. This new interactive solution will create direct referral fees, advertising fees and mortgage financing for the Company. The Company recognizes that in the U.S. most consumers research the buying of a home through newspapers, magazines, internet and TV. Only after the search has been narrowed down does the average consumer look to find a real estate agent. The VOD solution allows the consumer to view, in high quality video, local listings and specialty properties (oceanfront properties, mountain homes, farms, senior communities etc) via their TV with just a click of the remote control. This familiar TV environment is especially targeted at the baby boomer and over 40 demographic who, in many cases, are more comfortable with a remote control then they are with a mouse or touch screen. The real estate VOD solution is branded as Realtor.com channel. RealBiz Media Approved Vendors Include: Century21, Coldwell Banker, ERA, Better Homes and Gardens, Sotheby’s, Keller Williams, Long & Foster, Crye-Leike and others. Its desktop solution for virtual tours is used by over 30,000 real estate agents.

 

2.REALTOR.com PARTNERSHIP

 

Realtor.com Partnership will greatly enhance the Home Tour Network as produce will include the launch of a Video Portal with accompanying Widget and Mobile applications. In late May 2012, RealBiz Media signed a significant multiyear partnership with Move.com/ Realtor.com (RDC) that included agreements to rebrand the network to “Realtor.com channel” and expand the network into 55 million households. Additionally the Company has been commissioned to develop certain key projects including a real estate web portal to work in conjunction with Realtor.com. While terms of the agreement are not yet fully released, some of the key elements include:

 

1.Expansion and rebranding of TV network to a National Video on Demand Network. Realbiz’s Home Tour Network will be rebranded to the Realtor.com Channel and expanded to 55 million households in 180 cities over the next 36 months.

 

2.Introduction of a web portal to support Video on Demand Network including a National feed so listings are supported with video. Realbiz will provide all video estimated to be in excess of 2 million home listings per month.

 

3.Set up of “Widget Marketing Program” for the real estate agents currently working with Realtor.com. The program will be a multifaceted turnkey marketing tool for the real estate agent. Under the Realtor/Realbiz model the companies both embrace and promote real estate agents vs. the competition which tends to cannibalizing them.  

 

The Widget and Asset Video Player will be a very powerful tool for agents and brokers in the real estate profession. These individual agents and small brokerages will now be able to provide access to all the listings in the U.S. from a system that’s branded to them. This will significantly extend their brand by allowing consumers to search for any property in the U.S. without having to leave that agent or broker’s site. In fact these properties can be searched from social media locations, direct from email distribution and even from mobile devices. This agent/broker branded “pocket search” capability will create more cohesion between the consumer and the real estate professional.

 

11
 

This web of personalized search tools will provide significant revenue opportunities for Move and RBM. Revenue streams exist in several layers within this system:

 

·Video advertising insertion: Placement of video advertising as pre-roll to viewing a selected property
·Video sponsorship: Placement of an advertisers brand or logo with contact information placed in the video frame of the property videos
·Video player tab sponsorship: The Asset Video Player has functional tabs with relevant information for the home shopping consumer that can be sponsored (Mortgage, Credit Score)
·Advertiser discounts and promotions within the Asset Video Player: The player will have a tab for special offers which can be populated with local or national offers targeted to consumers in transition
·Agent/Broker Upgrades: Real Estate Professionals will be able to enhance their branding and information presentation as well as gather leads from the system with upgraded service offerings.

 

Lastly, this system will create significant organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and VSEO (Video Search Engine Optimization) lift for both the HTN companion portal and Move. Since each property in the system (approximately 2.2 million) will be viewed as its own website the system will create millions of back links to both Move and HTN. When you combine the back links with the fact that the content for these sites is in video format and completely relevant to both the Move/Realtor.com site and the HTN portal, you have an incredibly powerful asset for organic search ranking.

 

3.TRADITIONAL REAL ESTATE SALES POTENTIAL

 

Over the last year, home prices have increased by 3.7% since May 2011, and that annual gain was the largest yearly increase in home prices since September 2006. It was also the first time of four consecutive annual increases since the summer of 2007.

 

Realbiz has positioned itself to capture revenues from this market through licensing itself in 19 states within the U.S. While it is not in its immediate plans the licenses would allow it to capture commissions from foreclosure properties and real estate home sales.

 

Business Strategy

 

Near-Term Objectives:

 

Next 1 is a multi-faceted interactive media company whose key focus is to continue to grow its media interests around two of the most universal, yet powerful consumer passions - real estate and travel. The Company delivers targeted content via digital platforms including cable, broadcast, and broadband, web, print and mobile. The Company has launched real estate VOD channel starting with 2 cities on the Cox Communications and Comcast Cable Network and is targeting in conjunction with RealBiz to reach over 50 million households with its “Home Tour Network” by 2015.

 

Additionally, the Company has differentiated itself from other media companies through its ownership and operation of businesses in its verticals - travel and real estate. These real estate and travel businesses not only afford the Company multiple industry relationships and affiliations, but further provide industry licenses that will allow the Company to capture sales commissions and referral fees from products advertised and sold through its media platforms. Next 1 has expended significant capital over the past two years in the creation of its interactive media platforms and the launching and roll out of its television networks. The Company is targeting to have all platforms operational by the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

The key objective for the Company, once all platforms are operating, is to capture multiple revenue streams including transactional commissions, referral fees, advertising and sponsorship.

 

12
 

 

Long-Term Objectives:

 

As we expand our business model we will become a full-service multi-media advertising outlet offering television (traditional and VOD), internet display ads, rich media ads, video ads, and mobile outlets. As we build our network, viewership and traffic, our reach and cross-promotion capabilities will lead to the launching of additional targeted on demand solutions. Our involvement in cable TV, web and mobile will keep us at the forefront of cross-platform deal-making as such activity becomes more common among advertisers.

 

Our Competitors

 

Our primary competitors are companies such as the Travel Channel, Home and Garden TV, Plum TV, Wealth TV, the Outdoor Channel, and others. These are television networks that are primarily targeted at specific verticals in the travel, real estate and lifestyle fields.

 

In the travel sector, internet sites such as “Travelocity.com”, “Expedia.com”, and “Priceline.com” appear focused on their own core functionality - fare searches and ticket sales. Therefore, they are more likely to become actual advertisers on our network then they are to be competitors. As such, we see greater potential in providing advertising solutions to drive customers to “Travel Video Showcases” and to websites, than to compete in the sale of low margin travel product.

 

In the real estate sector, internet sites such as Trulia.com and Zillow.com as well as other internet sites providing real estate information to consumers provide opportunities similar to our Realbiz products and services.

 

Other Competitors include Netflix, DVDs, other VOD advertisers, Internet sellers of travel, and other real estate advertising.

 

Intellectual Property

 

In October 2012, the Company consummated the share exchange with Webdigs and Realbiz 360 to create RealBiz. Realbiz had 28 patents on technology for the conversion of pictures and text into video. The system can process large amounts of data in a very compressed period of time. The Company has since made additional modifications and developed a MicroVideo App. It intends to add additional patents over the current year.

 

On October 29, 2008, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by a purchase agreement with the members of Loop. Loop is a technology company that owns the Detroit HPC charter agreement. Loop oversaw the development of the HPC operating technology as well as certain proprietary automated systems that can be used to expand on-demand capabilities for HPC. Pursuant to the Loop Agreement, the Company issued 5,345,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Loop. The total value of the consideration given was approximately $5,450,000. The Company acquired assets with a net realizable value of approximately $5,000 and assumed liabilities of approximately $300,000 resulting in intangible assets of approximately $5,650,000. The assets acquired consist primarily of the exclusive use of technology required to provide video-on-demand and interactive TV capabilities and are completely amortized at February 28, 2013.

 

As of February 29, 2012 the Company recognized non cash impairments of $1,856,054 reducing the carrying values of the intangible assets for the R&R TV to $- 0-. This impairment mainly related to the Company suspending distribution on Direct TV in March 2011.

 

Costs incurred in the development of our website application and infrastructure is capitalized. Management placed the website into service during prior fiscal year, subject to straight-line amortization over a three year period.

 

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers

 

Our products do not require the consumption of raw materials.

 

Dependence on One or a Few Customers

 

We do not depend on one or a few customers. As we expand our business, we do not anticipate that we will depend on one or a few customers.

 

Government Regulation

 

Our operations are subject to and affected by various government regulations, U.S. federal, state and local government authorities. The operations of cable, satellite and telecommunications service providers, or distributors, are subject to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and to regulatory supervision by the FCC. The license is also subject to periodic renewal and ongoing regulatory requirements. The rules, regulations, policies and procedures affecting our businesses are constantly subject to change. These descriptions are summary in nature and do not purport to describe all present and proposed laws and regulations affecting our businesses.

13
 

 

Effect of “Must-Carry” Requirements

 

The Cable Act of 1992 imposed “must carry” or “retransmission consent” regulations on cable systems, requiring them to carry the signals of local broadcast television stations. Direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) systems are also subject to their own must carry rules. The FCC recently adopted an order requiring cable systems, following the anticipated end of analog television broadcasting in June 2009, to carry the digital signals of local television stations that have must carry status and to carry the same signal in analog format, or to carry the signal in digital format alone, provided that all subscribers have the necessary equipment to view the broadcast content. The FCC’s implementation of these “must-carry” obligations requires cable and DBS operators to give broadcasters preferential access to channel space. This reduces the amount of channel space that is available for carriage of our network by cable television systems and DBS operators. Congress and the FCC may, in the future, adopt new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters which could affect R&R TV. We are unable to predict the outcome of future federal legislation, regulation or policies, or the impact of any such laws, regulations or policies on R&R TV’s operations.

 

Closed Captioning and Advertising Restrictions on Children’s Programming

 

Our network will provide closed-captioning of programming for the hearing impaired prior to the three-year compliance requirement. Our programming and Internet websites intended primarily for children 12 years of age and under must comply with certain limits on advertising. We are a “family-friendly” network that provides on-screen notices of programs that may not be appropriate for children.

 

Obscenity Restrictions

 

Cable operators and other distributors are prohibited from transmitting obscene programming, and our carriage/distribution agreements generally require us to refrain from including such programming on our network.

 

Regulation of the Internet

 

We operate several internet websites which we use to distribute information about and supplement our programs. Internet services are now subject to regulation in the United States relating to the privacy and security of personally identifiable user information and acquisition of personal information from children under the age of 13, including the federal Child Online Protection Act (COPA) and the federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM). In addition, a majority of states have enacted laws that impose data security and security breach obligations. Additional federal and state laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other online services, covering such issues as user privacy, child safety, data security, advertising, pricing, content, copyrights and trademarks, access by persons with disabilities, distribution, taxation and characteristics and quality of products and services. In addition, to the extent we offer products and services to online consumers outside the United States, the laws and regulations of foreign jurisdictions, including, without limitation, consumer protection, privacy, advertising, data retention, intellectual property, and content limitations, may impose additional compliance obligations on us.

 

Other Regulations

 

In addition to the regulations applicable to the television industry in general, we are also subject to various local, state and federal regulations, including, without limitation, regulations promulgated by federal and state environmental, health and labor agencies.

 

Research & Development

 

The Company is not currently engaged in any research and development. The Company is currently focused on marketing and distributing its current inventory of products and services.

 

Employees

 

As of June 13, 2013, the Company has nine full-time employees: seven are located in the headquarter office; one is located in Nevada and one in Canada. The headquarters staff is comprised of two senior management personnel and the chief executive staff.

 

We lease our employees through ADP TotalSource. The basic function of an employee leasing company is to achieve economies of scale through volume purchasing of employee health benefits and other “big-ticket” items. In addition, this service provided other HR-related functions thereby eliminating the cost associated with an in-house HR department.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information in this Form 10-K, readers should carefully consider the following important factors. These factors, among others, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, our financial condition and results of operations and could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements that appear in this Form 10-K or that we have made or will make elsewhere.

 

Risks Inherent to this Company:

 

Because of losses incurred by us to date and our general financial condition, we received a going concern qualification in the audit report from our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the most recent fiscal year that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

 

At February 28, 2013, we had $36,351 cash on hand. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $71,193,862 and a working capital deficit of $13,371,094 at February 28, 2013, net losses for the year ended February 28, 2013 of $4,233,102 and cash used in operations during the year ended February 28, 2012 of $5,244,316. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have a limited operating history and we anticipate that we will have operating losses in the foreseeable future.

 

We cannot assure you that we will ever achieve profitable operations or generate significant revenues. Our future operating results depend on many factors, including demand for our products, the level of competition, and the ability of our officers to manage our business and growth. As a result of our limited operating history and the emerging nature of the market in which we compete, we anticipate that we will have operating losses until such time as we can develop a substantial and stable revenue base.

 

We will need additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

 

We have very limited financial resources. We currently have a monthly cash requirement of approximately $300,000, exclusive of capital expenditures. We will need to raise substantial additional capital to support the on-going operation and increased market penetration of R&R TV including the development of national advertising relationships, increases in operating costs resulting from additional staff and office space until such time as we generate revenues sufficient to support itself. We believe that in the aggregate, we will need as much as approximately $1 million to $5 million to support and expand the network reach, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment, payment obligations under charter affiliation agreements, office space and systems for managing the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from media advertising and e-commerce, travel and real estate are fully- implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. Our failure to obtain additional capital to finance our working capital needs on acceptable terms, or at all, will negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, as of February 28, 2013, we had approximately $14.6 million of current liabilities. We currently do not have the resources to satisfy these obligations, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern.

 

If we continue to experience liquidity issues and are unable to generate revenue, we may be unable to repay our outstanding debt when due and may be forced to seek protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.

 

We have experienced liquidity issues since our inception due to, among other reasons, our limited ability to raise adequate capital on acceptable terms. We have historically relied upon the issuance of promissory notes that are convertible into shares of our common stock to fund our operations and currently anticipate that we will need to continue to issue promissory notes, or equity, to fund our operations and repay our outstanding debt for the foreseeable future. At February 28, 2013, we had $9.9 million of current debt outstanding. If we are unable to achieve operational profitability or not successful in issuing additional promissory notes or securing other forms of financing, we will have to evaluate alternative actions to reduce our operating expenses and conserve cash.

 

Moreover, as a result of our liquidity issues, we have experienced delays in the repayment of promissory notes upon maturity and the payment of trade receivables to vendors and others when due. Our failure to pay vendors and others may continue to result in litigation, as well as interest and late charges, which will increase our cost of operations. If in the future, holders of promissory notes demand repayment of principal and accrued interest instead of electing to convert to common stock and we are unable to repay our debt when due or resolve issues with existing promissory note holders, we may be forced to refinance these notes on terms less favorable to us than the existing notes.

 

Our business revenue generation model is unproven and could fail.

 

Our revenue model is new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of this business model is unproven and there can be no assurance that we can achieve profitable operations. Our ability to generate revenues depends, among other things, on our ability to operate our television network and operate our video on demand business and create enough viewership to provide advertisers, sponsors, travelers and home buyers value. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, or achieve or sustain profitability.

 

15
 

Our success is dependent upon our senior management team and our ability to hire and retain qualified employees.

 

We believe that our success is substantially dependent upon: (1) our ability to retain and motivate our senior management team and other key employees; and (2) our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other qualified personnel. The development of our business and operations is dependent upon the efforts and talents of our executive officers, whose extensive experience and contacts within the industries in which we wish to compete are a critical component of our business strategy. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining the services of any of the members of our senior management team or other key personnel, or in hiring qualified technical, managerial, marketing and administrative personnel. We do not have “key person” life insurance policies on any of our key personnel. If we do not succeed in retaining our employees and in attracting new employees, our business could suffer significantly.

 

We may be unable to implement our business and growth strategy.

 

Our growth strategy and ability to generate revenues and profits is dependent upon our ability to: (1) develop and provide new services and products; (2) establish and maintain sales and distribution channels, including the on-going operation and expansion of our television network; (3) develop new business opportunities; (4) maintain our existing clients and continue to develop the organization and systems to support these clients; (5) establish financial and management systems; (6) attract, retain and hire highly skilled management and consultants; (7) obtain adequate financing on acceptable terms to fund our growth strategy; (8) develop and expand our client and customer bases; and (9) negotiate agreements on terms that will permit us to generate adequate profit margins. Our failure with respect to any or all of these factors could impair our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We intend to launch new products in a volatile market and we may be unsuccessful.

 

We intend to launch new products, which include a television network and VOD for real estate and travel related products. The media, travel and real estate sectors are volatile marketplaces and we may not be able to successfully penetrate and develop all or either of them. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain the airwave space necessary to carry a new television network. We will be successful only if consumers establish a loyalty to our network and purchase the products and services advertised on the network. We will have no control over consumer reaction to our network or product offerings. If we are not successful in building a strong and loyal consumer following, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability.

 

We do not have the ability to control the volatility of sales.

 

Our business is dependent on selling our products in a volatile consumer-oriented marketplace. The retail consumer industry, by its nature, is very volatile and sensitive to numerous economic factors, including competition, market conditions and general economic conditions. None of these conditions are within our control. There can be no assurance that we will have stable or growing sales of our products and advertising space on our television network, and maintain profitability in the volatile consumer marketplace.

 

We may not be able to purchase and/or license assets that are critical to our business.

 

We intend to purchase and/or license archived video and travel collection libraries to fulfill the programming needs of the Network. The acquisition or licensure of these assets is critical to accomplishing our business plan. We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining these assets or that if we do acquire them, that we will be able to do so at a reasonable cost. Our failure to purchase and/or license these libraries at a reasonable cost would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We enter into carriage/distribution agreements with companies that will broadcast our products. If we do not maintain good working relationships with these companies, or perform as required under these agreements, it could adversely affect our business.

 

The carriage/distribution agreements establish complex relationships between these companies and us. We intend to spend a significant amount of time, effort and cost to maintain our relationships with these companies and address the issues that from time to time may arise from these complex relationships. These companies could decide not to renew their agreements at the end of their respective terms. Additionally, if we do not perform as required under these agreements or if we breach these agreements, these companies could seek to terminate their agreements prior to the end of their respective terms or seek damages from us. Loss of these existing carriage/distribution agreements would adversely affect our ability to continue to operate our network as well as our ability to fully implement our business plan.

 

Additionally, the companies that we have carriage/distribution agreements with are subject to FCC jurisdiction under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. FCC rules, among other things, govern the term, renewal and transfer of radio and television broadcasting licenses and limit concentrations of broadcasting control inconsistent with the public interest. If these companies do not maintain their radio and television broadcasting licenses, our business could be substantially harmed.

 

16
 

Our failure to develop advertising revenues could adversely impact our business.

 

Initially, we intend to generate a significant portion of our revenue from our full-time television programming network, R&RTV, through sales of advertising time, television commerce of travel packages and sponsorships of programming enhanced by interactive applications. We may not be able to obtain long-term commitments from advertisers and sponsors or fully deploy the strategy of interactive applications due to the start-up nature of our business. Advertisers generally may cancel, reduce or postpone orders without penalty. Cancellations, reductions or delays in purchases of advertising could occur as a result of a strike, or a general economic downturn in one or more industries or in one or more geographic areas. If we are unable to generate significant revenue from advertising, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may not be able to maintain our client relationships that we have developed.

 

Our clients are, and will be, comprised primarily of travel agencies, cruise lines, real estate agents and brokers, and national consumer lifestyle product advertisers. This clientele is fragmented and requires a great deal of servicing to maintain strong relationships. Our ability to maintain client loyalty will be dependent upon our ability to successfully market and distribute their products. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in maintaining relationships with our artists. Our inability to maintain these relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may encounter intense competition from substantially larger and better financed companies.

 

Our success will depend upon our ability to continue to penetrate the consumer market for media-oriented products and establish a television network with sufficient ratings to cover the costs associated with operating the network and provide a return to our investors. Our Television Network, Travel Company and Real Estate business will compete with more established entities with greater financial resources, longer operating histories and more recognition in the market place than we do. It is also possible that previously unidentified competitors may enter the market place and decrease our chance of acquiring the requisite market share. Our future success will depend upon our continued ability to penetrate the market quickly and efficiently. Our ability to respond to competitive product offerings and the evolving demands of the marketplace will play a key role in our success. Our failure to develop, maintain and continually improve our distribution process could prevent us from attaining and maintaining sufficient market share. If we are unable to respond and compete in these markets, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Certain legal proceedings and regulatory matters could adversely impact our results of operations.

 

We are involved in certain legal proceedings and are subject from time to time to various claims involving alleged breach of contract claims, intellectual property and other related claims employment issues, vendor matters and other litigations. Certain of these lawsuits and claims, if decided adversely to us or settled by us, could result in material liability to the Company or have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation or relations with its employees, customers, licensees or other third parties. In addition, regardless of the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceedings, such proceedings could result in substantial costs and may require that the Company devotes substantial time and resources to defend itself. Further, changes in governmental regulations both in the U.S. and in other countries where we conduct business operations could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. See Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” for further discussion of the Company’s legal matters.

 

We may not be able to adequately manage future growth.

 

If we are successful in implementing our business plan to maturity, the anticipated future growth of the business could place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. We cannot assure you that management would effectively manage significant growth in our business. If we are successful in executing our business plan and achieve our anticipated growth, such success will place significant demands on our management, as well as on our administrative, operational and financial resources. For us to manage our growth and satisfy the greater financial disclosure and internal control requirements that arise with exiting the development stage and becoming fully operational, we must:

 

upgrade our operational, financial, accounting and management information systems, which would include the purchase of new accounting and human resources software;

 

identify and hire an adequate number of operating, accounting and administrative personnel and other qualified employees;

 

manage new employees and integrate them into our culture;

 

incorporate effectively the components of any businesses or assets that we may acquire in our effort to achieve or support growth;

 

closely monitor the actions of our broadcast entities and manage the contractual relationships we have with them; and

 

develop and improve financial and disclosure processes to satisfy the reporting requirements of the SEC, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

17
 

 

The failure to adequately manage any growth would adversely affect our business operations and financial results.

 

Mr. Kerby, Warren Kettlewell and Don Monaco own approximately 95% of our voting securities which gives them significant influence over the affairs of our Company.

 

Bill Kerby (CEO), Warren Kettlewell (Director) and Don Monaco (Director), collectively control approximately 95% of our voting securities which gives them voting control over our Company. Bill Kerby, our Chief Executive Officer, owns 809,611 shares of Series A Preferred Stock; Warren Kettlewell a director owns 331,403 shares of Series A Preferred stock; and Don Monaco a director owns 1,075,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is equal to 100 votes and votes on the same basis as the common stock. As a result Messrs. Kerby, Kettlewell and Monaco collectively control approximately 95% of our voting securities, thereby giving them significant influence in electing our directors and appointing management possibly delaying or preventing mergers or deals and suppressing the value of our common stock.

 

We may be unable to adequately react to market changes.

 

Our success is partially dependent upon our ability to develop our market and change our business model as may be necessary to react to changing market conditions. Our ability to modify or change our business model to fit the needs of a changing market place is critical to our success, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition.

 

There are potential conflicts of interests and agreements that are not subject to arm’s length negotiations.

 

There may be conflicts of interest between our management and our non-management stockholders.

 

Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of other investors. A conflict of interest may arise between our management’s personal pecuniary interest and its fiduciary duty to our stockholders. Further, our management’s own pecuniary interest may at some point compromise its fiduciary duty to our stockholders. In addition, our officers and directors are currently involved with other blank check companies and conflicts in the pursuit of business combinations with such other blank check companies with which they and other members of our management are, and may in the future be affiliated with, may arise. If we and the other blank check companies that our officers and directors are affiliated with desire to take advantage of the same opportunity, then those officers and directors that are affiliated with both companies would abstain from voting upon the opportunity. In the event of identical officers and directors, the officers and directors will arbitrarily determine the Registrant that will be entitled to proceed with the proposed transaction.

 

Risks Related to Investment in Our Securities

 

There is not presently an active market for shares of our common stock, and therefore, you may be unable to sell any shares of common stock in the event that you need a source of liquidity.

 

Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB, the trading market in our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the trading in stock on other markets or stock of other companies quoted on the OTCBB. A public trading market in our common stock having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the market of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. In the event an active market does not develop, you may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above the price you paid for them or at any price. Also, due to a significant amount of issuances of our stock in a short period of time, the Depository Trust Corporation has placed a temporary “chill” on new issuances which may further delay the transfer of shares.

 

Existing stockholders may suffer substantial dilution with future issuances of our common stock.

 

We may continue to issue a large amount of securities or debt that can be converted into common stock within the next several years, either in connection with our equity incentive plan for directors, officers, key employees and consultants, or in private or public offerings to meet our working capital requirements. In addition, we have convertible debt and 6,495,778 outstanding warrants. Also, there are currently 2,366,014 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into shares of common stock at the lower of a) a conversion of $0.50 per share or b) at the lowest price the corporation has issued stock as part of a financing. Any grants or sales of additional shares of our common stock, or exercise of our convertible instruments will have a dilutive effect on the existing stockholders, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

 

Our management, through its significant ownership of our common and preferred stock, has substantial control over our operations.

 

Our management owns a significant portion of the total outstanding shares of our common stock. These officers and employees have been and will continue to be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.

 

We have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend and we do not expect to have any cash with which to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If we do have available cash, we intend to use it to grow our business.

18
 

 

Our incorporation documents and Nevada law may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also limit the market price of your shares of common stock, which may inhibit an attempt by our stockholders to change our direction or management.

 

Nevada law and our certificate of incorporation contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our Company. Some of these provisions include the following:

 

(a)authorize our board of directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series without further action by our stockholders; and

 

(b)Prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates.

 

These and other provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and under Nevada law could reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future and result in the market price being lower than it would be without these provisions.

 

We adopted provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limiting the liability of management to stockholders.

 

We have adopted provisions, and will maintain provisions, to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that limit the liability of our directors, and provide for indemnification by us of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Nevada law provides that directors have no personal liability to third parties for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, except for breach of duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, or transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit. Such provisions limit the stockholders’ ability to hold directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty and reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers.

 

 

We are subject to the penny stock rules, which may adversely affect trading in our common stock.

 

Currently our common stock is a “low-priced” security under the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document that describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealers’ duties in selling the stock, the customer’s rights and remedies and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions will probably decrease the willingness of broker- dealers to make a market in our common stock, decrease liquidity of our common stock and increase transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent abuses normally associated with “low-priced” securities from being established with respect to our securities.

 

As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, the Company will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by the Company contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of the Company’s failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

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

 

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. THESE STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, THOSE LISTED UNDER “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” AND “RISK FACTORS” AND THOSE INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Some of the information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

 

discuss our future expectations;

 

contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and

 

state other “forward-looking” information.

 

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors,” “Business” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. See “Risk Factors.”

 

Unless stated otherwise, the words “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “Next 1 Interactive, Inc.,” or “Next 1” in this Annual Report collectively refers to the Company.

 

Recent Acquisitions

 

On October 3, 2012, the Company entered a securities exchange agreement and exercised the option purchase agreement to purchase 664.1 common shares of Real Biz Holdings, Inc. The Company applied $300,000 of cash, issued a Series D Preferred stock subscription agreement for 380,000 shares and agreed to a $50,000 thirty day (30) day post-closing final buyout bringing the total value of the agreement to $2,250,000.

 

The Company accounted for the acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations". The Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and Real Biz Holdings, Inc. is the acquired Company. Accordingly, the Company applied push-down accounting and adjusted to fair value all of the assets and liabilities directly on the financial statements of the subsidiary, Real Biz Holdings, Inc.

 

The net purchase price, including acquisition costs paid by the Company, was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the records of the Company as follows:

 

Cash  $34,366 
Other current assets   40,696 
Intangible asset   4,796,178 
    4,871,240

On October 9, 2012, Next 1 and RealBiz Media Group, Inc., formerly known as Webdigs, Inc. (“Webdigs”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 4, 2012 (the “Exchange Agreement”). Under the Exchange Agreement, our Company exchanged with Webdigs all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Next 1 (“Attaché”). Attaché owns approximately 85% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc. which is the parent corporation of RealBiz360, Inc. (“RealBiz”). RealBiz is a real estate media services company whose proprietary video processing technology has made it one of the leaders in providing home virtual tours to the real estate industry. In exchange for our Attaché shares, our Company received a total of 93 million shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Webdigs Series A Stock”). The exchange of Attaché shares in exchange for Webdigs Series A Stock is referred to as the “Exchange Transaction.”

 

Evolving Industry Standards; Rapid Technological Changes

 

The technologies used in the pay television industry are rapidly evolving. Many technologies and technological standards are in development and have the potential to significantly transform the ways in which programming is created and transmitted. We cannot accurately predict the effects that implementing new technologies will have on our programming and broadcasting operations. We may be required to incur substantial capital expenditures to implement new technologies, or, if we fail to do so, may face significant new challenges due to technological advances adopted by competitors, which in turn could result in harming our business and operating results.

 

The Company’s success in its business will depend in part upon its continued ability to enhance its existing products and services, to introduce new products and services quickly and cost effectively to meet evolving customer needs, to achieve market acceptance for new product and service offerings and to respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or new industry standards. Moreover, there can be no assurance that competitors of the Company will not develop competitive products, or that any such competitive products will not have an adverse effect upon the Company’s operating results.

 

Moreover, management intends to continue to implement “best practices” and other established process improvements in its operations going forward. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in refining, enhancing and developing its operating strategies and systems going forward, that the costs associated with refining, enhancing and developing such strategies and systems will not increase significantly in future periods or that the Company’s existing software and technology will not become obsolete as a result of ongoing technological developments in the marketplace.

Our current revenue is primarily derived from customers accessing our travel websites: NextTrip.com, Maupintour and Cruise Shoppes. According to PhoCusWright, 2007 is the first year in which more than half of all travel in the U.S. was purchased online. The remainder of travel in the U.S. was booked through traditional offline channels. Suppliers, including airlines, hotels and car rental companies, have continued to focus their efforts on direct sale of their products through their own websites, further promoting the migration of customers to online booking. In the current environment, suppliers’ websites are believed to be taking market share domestically from both online travel companies (“OTCs”) and traditional offline travel companies.

 

In the U.S., the booking of air travel has become increasingly driven by price. As a result, we believe that OTCs will continue to focus on differentiating themselves from supplier websites by offering customers the ability to selectively combine travel products such as air, car, hotel and destination services into one- stop shopping vacation packages.

 

Despite the increase in online marketing costs, the continued growth of search and meta-search sites as well as Web 2.0 features creates new opportunities for travel websites to add value to the customer experience and generate advertising revenue. Web 2.0 is a term used to describe content features such as social networks, blogs, user reviews, videos and podcasts such as our NextTrip.com, NetTripRadio.com, Maupitour.Com, and CruiseShoppes.com websites. We believe that the ability of Web 2.0 websites will add value for customers, suppliers and third-party partners while simultaneously creating new revenue streams.

 

  

Sufficiency of Cash Flows

 

Because current cash balances and projected cash generation from operations are not sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, management intends to seek additional equity or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to the Company’s shareholders. A portion of the Company’s cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions of such businesses, products or technologies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2013 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended February 29, 2012

 

Revenues. Our total revenues decreased 24% to $987,115 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $1,292,517 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $305,402. The decrease is due to the R & R television network being off of Direct TV, offset by revenue generated from RealBiz Media Group, Inc.

 

Revenues from the travel segment decreased 36% to $550,367 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $865,878 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $315,511. Travel revenue is generated from its luxury tour operation which provides escorted and independent tours worldwide to upscale travelers. The decrease is due to the decline in tours and cruises sold.

 

Revenues from advertising increased 2% to $436,748 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $462,639 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, an increase of $10,109. Advertising revenue is currently generated from RealBiz Media Group, Inc.’s real estate advertising and in prior years was generated from the sale of advertising time on R&RTV through selling time for commercial announcements on Direct TV which was discontinued in the prior fiscal year.

 

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues decreased 86% to $501,460 for fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $3,558,714 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $3,057,254. The decrease in cost is primarily due to the network being off Direct TV.

 

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses include salaries and benefits, selling and promotion, general and administrative: finance fees incurred in raising capital, amortization of intangibles, legal and accounting fees, consulting fees and miscellaneous operating expenses. Our total operating expenses decreased 9% to $5,315,808 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 from $5,861,585 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $545,777.The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in finance fees of $5,818, amortization of intangibles of $1,154,759 and legal and accounting of $81,531; offset by an increase in salaries and benefits of $100,116,consulting fees of $49,144 and miscellaneous operating expenses of $547,071.

 

Other expense. Interest expense decreased 75% to $1,774,792 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $7,060,814 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $5,286,022 primarily due to the increase in the amount of debt converted into common and preferred shares and significant reductions in the issuance of convertible promissory notes over the prior fiscal year. Loss on settlement of debt conversions increased 20% to 309,201 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $258,443 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, an increase of $50,758 primarily due to the increase in the settlement of convertible promissory notes and shareholder loans converted into common and preferred shares. Gain in the change in fair value of derivative decreased 6% to $2,081,029 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $2,223,649 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $142,620 primarily due to the increase in the conversion of convertible promissory notes with embedded variable conversion features. A loss on impairment of intangible assets decreased 100% to $-0- for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 compared to $1,856,054 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $1,856,054 primarily due to no requirement to impair intangible assets in the current fiscal year. A gain on legal settlement decreased 54% to $701,026 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 compared to $1,520,529 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 a decrease of $819,503 primarily due to the decrease in the amount of legal settlements executed during the current fiscal year with vendors. Other expense increased 10% to $101,011 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, compared to $92,151 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 an increase of $8,860 primarily due to the increase in penalties assessed by convertible promissory notes holders requesting to convert principal into equity securities not executed in a timely manner.

 

Net Loss. We had a net loss of $4,233,102 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 compared to a net loss of $13,651,066 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 a decrease of $9,417,964 primarily due to the television network being off during the year, reducing labor and production costs. See the discussions on cost of revenues and operating expenses and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

 

Contractual Obligations. The following schedule represents obligations under written commitments on the part of the Company that are not included in liabilities:

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Going Concern

 

At February 28, 2013, the Company had $36,351 cash on-hand, an increase of $23,362 from $12,989 at the start of fiscal 2012. The increase in cash was primarily due to the funds raised by issuance of various series of the Company’s Preferred stock series over the Company’s obligation of meeting day-to-day operating expenses, promissory note obligations and compliance with terms under an option agreement.

 

25
 

 

Net cash used by operations was $5,244,316 for the year ended February 28, 2013, an increase of $421,893 from $4,822,423 used during fiscal 2012. The increase was due to the Company’s ability to satisfy its accounts payable and other current liabilities through payment in cash and settlement of past due amounts using equity securities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $305,000 to $-0- for the year ended February 28, 2013 compared to $305,000 for fiscal 2012. The decrease is attributable to the exercise of the option agreement to purchase shares of Real Biz Holdings, Inc.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was increased $547,083 to $5,267,678 for the year ended February 28, 2013 compared to $4,720,595 fiscal 2012, The increase is attributable to the increase in proceeds of stock issuances and notes payable over conversions and principal payments.

 

The growth and development of our business will require a significant amount of additional working capital. We currently have limited financial resources and based on our current operating plan, we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. We currently do not have adequate cash to meet our short or long-term objectives. In the event additional capital is raised, it may have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

  

Since our inception in June 2002, we have been focused on the travel industry solely through the internet. We have recently changed our business model from a company that generates nearly all revenues from its travel divisions to a media company focusing on travel and real estate by utilizing multiple media platforms including the internet, radio and television. As a company that has recently changed our business model and emerged from the development phase with a limited operating history, we are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry. We cannot assure you that the business will continue as a going concern or ever achieve profitability. Due to the absence of an operating history under the new business model and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating losses until such time as we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams.

 

Since our inception, we have financed our operations through numerous debt and equity issuances.

 

The Company will need to raise substantial additional capital to support the on-going operation and increased market penetration of our Video on Demand real estate and travel business and R&RTV including the development of national sales representation for national and global advertising and sponsorships, increases in operating costs resulting from additional staff and office space until such time as we generate revenues sufficient to support the business. We believe that in the aggregate, we will need approximately $1 million to $5 million to support and expand the network reach, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and satisfy payment obligations under carriage/distribution agreements, office space and systems required to manage the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from media advertising, sponsorships, e-commerce, travel and real estate are fully-implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in raising the required capital to complete this portion of its business plan.

 

To date, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from the private equity financings. The Company issued these shares without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that the issuance did not involve a public offering of securities. The shares were sold solely to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) and Regulation D thereunder.

 

Currently, revenues provide less than 10% of the Company’s cash requirements. The remaining cash need is derived from raising additional capital. The current monthly cash burn rate is approximately $300,000. We expect the monthly cash burn rate will gradually increase to approximately $1.0 million, with the expectation of profitability by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Our multi-platform media revenue model is new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of this business model is unproven and there can be no assurance that we can achieve profitable operations. Our ability to generate revenues depends, among other things, on our ability to operate our television network and create enough viewership to provide advertisers, sponsors, travelers and home buyers value. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, or achieve or sustain profitability.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts and accrued expenses. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, the actual amounts of such estimates, when known, will vary from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

26
 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables, and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. As of February 28, 2013, the Company had no long-lived assets.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.

 

Management placed the website into service during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, subject to straight-line amortization over a three year period.   

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: 

 

1.Significant underperformance to expect historical or project future operating results;

2.Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

The Company incurs an impairment charge when the Company determines if the carrying value of an intangible may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicator of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flow. The Company measures any impairment based on a project discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company evaluated the remaining useful life of the intangibles and recorded a loss on impairment of intangible assets during the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 of $-0- and $1,856,054, respectively.

 

Intellectual properties that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The amortization expense for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 was $604,008 and $1,222,861, respectively. 

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

27
 

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include the following:

 

   February 28,
2013
   February 29,
2012
 
Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   2,366,014    1,645,101 
Series B convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   2,138,000    -0- 
Series C convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   180,000    -0- 
Series D convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   5,660,385    -0- 
Warrants to purchase common stock issued, outstanding and exercisable   6,495,778    180,590 
Stock options issued, outstanding and exercisable   4,050    4,050 
Series D convertible preferred subscribed   100,000    -0- 
Shares on convertible promissory notes   32,133,155    1,819,560 
    49,077,382    3,649,301 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Barter

 

Barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising or programming for advertising, merchandise or services. Barter transactions which exchange advertising for advertising are accounted for in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-17 “Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions” (ASC Topic 605-20-25), which are recorded at the fair value of the advertising provided based on the Company’s own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising from buyers unrelated to the counterparty in the barter transactions.

 

Barter transactions which exchange advertising or programming for merchandise or services are recorded at the monetary value of the revenue expected to be realized from the ultimate disposition of merchandise or services. Expenses incurred in broadcasting barter provided are recorded when the program, merchandise or service is utilized.

 

Barter revenue of $-0- has been recognized for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively. Barter expense of $-0- has been recognized for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. 

 

Travel

 

Gross travel tour revenues represent the total retail value of transactions booked for both agency and merchant transactions recorded at the time of booking, reflecting the total price due for travel by travelers, including taxes, fees and other charges, and are generally reduced for cancellations and refunds.  We also generate revenue from paid cruise ship bookings in the form of commissions. Commission revenue is recognized at the date the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

28
 

 

Advertising

 

We recognize advertising revenues in the period in which the advertisement is displayed, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. If fixed-fee advertising is displayed over a term greater than one month, revenues are recognized ratably over the period as described below. The majority of insertion orders have terms that begin and end in a quarterly reporting period. In the cases where at the end of a quarterly reporting period the term of an insertion order is not complete, the Company recognizes revenue for the period by pro-rating the total arrangement fee to revenue and deferred revenue based on a measure of proportionate performance of its obligation under the insertion order. The Company measures proportionate performance by the number of placements delivered and undelivered as of the reporting date. The Company uses prices stated on its internal rate card for measuring the value of delivered and undelivered placements. Fees for variable-fee advertising arrangements are recognized based on the number of impressions displayed or clicks delivered during the period.

 

Under these policies, no revenue is recognized unless persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is deemed reasonably assured. The Company considers an insertion order signed by the client or its agency to be evidence of an arrangement.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues includes costs directly attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as broadcast carriage fees, costs to produce television content, sales commission to business partners, hotel and airfare, cruises and membership fees.

 

Sales and Promotion

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, salary expenses associated with sales and marketing staff, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses. The goal of our advertising is to acquire new subscribers for our e-mail products, increase the traffic to our Web sites, and increase brand awareness.

 

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Advertising expense for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 was $131,504 and $55,551.

  

Share Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

29
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

·Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

·Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

·Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. See footnote 16 for fair value measurements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts previously reported in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used in the year ended February 28, 2013. Such reclassifications have no effect on the reported net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This amendment is intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived assets other than goodwill for impairment by providing entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2014, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 ("ASU 2012-04"). The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCT). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments required disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross referenced to other disclosure that provides additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 201-02 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered in this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2013. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who concluded, that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2013. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under that Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management is also responsible for establishing internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Our internal controls over financial reporting are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal controls over financial reporting are expected to include those policies and procedures that management believes are necessary 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 our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

(iii)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

As of February 28, 2013, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2013 and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.

 

31
 

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that result in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of February 28, 2013:

 

The Company does not have an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert. These factors are counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management. Our management determined that this deficiency constituted a material weakness.

 

Due to liquidity issues, we are not able to immediately take any action to remediate this material weakness. However, when conditions allow, we will expand our board of directors and establish an independent audit committee consisting of a minimum of three individuals with industry experience including a qualified financial expert. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there was a material weakness as identified herein, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.

 

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

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Next 1 Interactive, Inc.

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Next 1 Interactive, Inc. and Subsidiaries. as of February 28, 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations,changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit),and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit 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 consolidated 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Next 1 Interactive, Inc. and Subsidiaries of February 28, 2013 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses of $4,233,102 for the year ended February 28, 2013 and the Company had an accumulated deficit of $71,193,862 and a working capital deficit of $13,371,094 at February 28, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The share exchange provided for the exchange rate of 1 share of Maximus common stock for 60 shares Extraordinary Vacations USA common stock. The consolidated financial statements of Next 1, Interactive, Inc. reflects the retroactive effect of the Share Exchange as if it had occurred at March 1, 2008. All loss per share amounts are reflected based on Next 1 shares outstanding, basic and dilutive.

 

Effective May 22, 2012, the Company affected a 1-for-500 reverse stock split, which reduced the number of issued and outstanding shares from 1,848,014,287 to 3,696,029 shares. The Company has retroactively adjusted the consolidated financial statements to reflect this reverse stock split.

 Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company owns 84.5% interest in Real Biz Holdings, Inc. and 92.66% interest in Real Biz Media Group, Inc. and these entities’ accounts are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements because we have control over operating and financial policies. We have eliminated all inter-company balances and transactions. The 7.34% non-controlling interest in RealBiz Media Group, Inc. is represented by 7,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock bear dividends at an annual rate of 10%.

  

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, and accordingly the Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets and reports noncontrolling interest net loss under the heading “Net loss applicable to noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiary” in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets, accrued expenses, stock based compensation and derivative liabilities. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, the actual amounts of such estimates, when known, will vary from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of 90 days or less.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables, and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. As of February 28, 2013, the Company had no long-lived assets.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.

 

Management placed the website into service during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, subject to straight-line amortization over a three year period.

   

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

F-12
 

  

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued)

  

1.Significant underperformance to expect historical or project future operating results;

2.Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.

 

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible many not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicator of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flow, the Company records and impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a project discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exist and in projecting cash flows. The Company evaluated the remaining useful life of the intangibles and recorded a loss on impairment of intangible assets during the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 of $-0- and $1,856,054, respectively.

 

Intellectual properties that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The amortization expense for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 was $604,008 and $1,222,861, respectively.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

  

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other comprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income (loss) include items such as foreign currency translation adjustments. For the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, the accumulated comprehensive loss was $33,459 and $-0-, respectively.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

 Derivative Instruments

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

F-13
 

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include the following:

 

   February 28,
2013
   February 29,
2012
 
Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   2,366,014    1,645,101 
Series B convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   2,138,000    -0- 
Series C convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   180,000    -0- 
Series D convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding   5,660,385    -0- 
Warrants to purchase common stock issued, outstanding and exercisable   6,495,778    180,590 
Stock options issued, outstanding and exercisable   4,050    4,050 
Series D convertible preferred subscribed   100,000    -0- 
Shares on convertible promissory notes   32,133,155    1,819,560 
    49,077,382    3,649,301 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Barter

 

Barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising or programming for advertising, merchandise or services. Barter transactions which exchange advertising for advertising are accounted for in accordance with “Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions” (ASC Topic 605-20-25), which are recorded at the fair value of the advertising provided based on the Company’s own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising from buyers unrelated to the counterparty in the barter transactions.

 

Barter transactions which exchange advertising or programming for merchandise or services are recorded at the monetary value of the revenue expected to be realized from the ultimate disposition of merchandise or services. Expenses incurred in broadcasting barter provided are recorded when the program, merchandise or service is utilized.

 

Barter revenue of $-0- has been recognized for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively. Barter expense of $-0- has been recognized for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012.

  

Travel

 

Gross travel tour revenues represent the total retail value of transactions booked for both agency and merchant transactions recorded at the time of booking, reflecting the total price due for travel by travelers, including taxes, fees and other charges, and are generally reduced for cancellations and refunds.  We also generate revenue from paid cruise ship bookings in the form of commissions. Commission revenue is recognized at the date the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

 

Advertising

 

We recognize advertising revenues in the period in which the advertisement is displayed, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. If fixed-fee advertising is displayed over a term greater than one month, revenues are recognized ratably over the period as described below. The majority of insertion orders have terms that begin and end in a quarterly reporting period. In the cases where at the end of a quarterly reporting period the term of an insertion order is not complete, the Company recognizes revenue for the period by pro-rating the total arrangement fee to revenue and deferred revenue based on a measure of proportionate performance of its obligation under the insertion order. The Company measures proportionate performance by the number of placements delivered and undelivered as of the reporting date. The Company uses prices stated on its internal rate card for measuring the value of delivered and undelivered placements. Fees for variable-fee advertising arrangements are recognized based on the number of impressions displayed or clicks delivered during the period.

 

Under these policies, no revenue is recognized unless persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is deemed reasonably assured. The Company considers an insertion order signed by the client or its agency to be evidence of an arrangement.

 

F-14
 

 

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues includes costs directly attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as broadcast carriage fees, costs to produce television content, sales commission to business partners, hotel and airfare, cruises and membership fees.

 

Sales and Promotion

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, salary expenses associated with sales and marketing staff, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses. The goal of our advertising is to acquire new subscribers for our e-mail products, increase the traffic to our Web sites, and increase brand awareness.

 

Advertising Expense

 

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Advertising expense for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 was $131,504 and $55,551.

 

Share Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

  · Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

  · Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

  · Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

F-15
 

 

Note 1 - Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. See footnote 16 for fair value measurements.

 

Reclassifications

 

We have reclassified certain amounts previously reported in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012 to conform to the classifications used in the year ended February 28, 2013. Such reclassifications have no effect on the reported net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, “ Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. This amendment is intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived assets other than goodwill for impairment by providing entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2014, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 ("ASU 2012-04"). The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCT). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments required disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross referenced to other disclosure that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 201-02 is not expected to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 - Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $71,193,862 and a working capital deficit of $13,371,094 at February 28, 2013, net losses for the year ended February 28, 2013 of $4,233,102 and cash used in operations during the year ended February 28, 2013 of $5,244,316. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the growth has yet to achieve significant levels to fully support its daily operations.

 

Management’s plans with regard to this going concern are as follows: The Company will continue to raise funds through private placements with third parties by way of a public or private offering. In addition, the Board of Directors has agreed to make available, to the extent possible, the necessary capital required to allow management to aggressively expand its planned Interactive and Video on Demand and RealBiz platforms Management and Board members are working aggressively to increase the viewership of our products by promoting it across other mediums which will increase value to advertisers and result in higher advertising rates and revenues.

 

F-16
 

Note 2 - Going Concern (continued)

 

While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate greater revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Property and Equipment

 

As of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 respectively, the Company did not record property and equipment on its books and records. Any property and equipment previously recorded was fully impaired and written off. Therefore, there was no depreciation expense recorded for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012.

 

Note 4 – Website Development Costs and Intangible Assets

 

The following table sets forth the intangible assets, both acquired and developed, including accumulated amortization:

Preferred stock

 

The aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue up to One Hundred Million (100,000,000), with a par value of $0.00001 per share.

 

The Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued in series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to divide the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and the articles of incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock.

 

Preferred Series A

 

The Company has authorized 3,000,000 shares, par value $.01 per share and designated as Series A 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one hundred (100) votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Per the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, subject to the availability of authorized and unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may, by written notice to the Corporation, may elect to convert all or any part of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion rate of the lower of (a) $0.50 per share or (b) at the lowest price the Company has issued stock as part of a financing. Additionally, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, may by written notice to the Corporation, convert all or part of such holder’s shares (excluding any shares issued pursuant to conversion of unpaid dividends) into debt obligations of the Corporation, secured by a security interest in all of the Corporation and its’ subsidiaries, at a rate of $0.50 of debt for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. On July 9, 2012, the Company amended the Certificate of Designations for the Company’s Series A Preferred stock to allow for conversion into Series C Preferred stock. Furthermore, the amendment allows for conversion at the lowest price the corporation has issued stock as part of a financing to include all financing such as new debt and equity financing and stock issuances as well as existing debt conversions into stock.

 

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary (any of the foregoing, a “liquidation”), holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof an amount per share equal to $1.00 for each share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared) from the beginning of the dividend period in which the liquidation occurred to the date of liquidation.

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging; Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) became effective for us on March 1, 2010. The Company’s Series A (convertible) Preferred Stock has certain reset provisions that require the Company to reduce the conversion price of the Series A (convertible) Preferred Stock if we issue equity at a price less than the conversion price. Upon the effective date, the provisions of ASC 815-40 required a reclassification to liability based on the reset feature of the agreements if the Company sells equity at a price below the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

For the year ended February 28, 2013, the Company, in accordance with ASC 815-40, determined the fair value of the Preferred Series A stock to be $42,881, using the Black-Scholes formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 0.25%, expected volatility of 438.93%, and expected life of 2 years (based on the current rate of conversion). At each reporting date, the Company records the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability as non-operating, non-cash income. The change in fair value of the Preferred Series A derivative liability resulted in current year non-operating income included in operations of $1,295,136.

Common Stock Options

 

On October 28, 2009, the shareholders approved the Next 1 Interactive, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) at the annual shareholders meeting. Under the 2009 Plan, 9,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance on the effective date of the 2009 Plan. Utilizing a variety of equity compensation instruments, the Company plans to use the 9,000 shares under the 2009 Plan to:

 

(1) Attract and retain key employees and directors, including key Next 1 executives, and

 

(2) Provide an incentive for them to assist Next 1 to achieve long-range performance goals and enable them to participate in the long-term growth of the Company.

 

On October 3, 2011, the Company authorized the issuance of 4,050 ten (10) year stock options with an exercise price of $7.25 per share, with 50% vesting immediately and the remaining 50% vesting in six (6) months. The 4,050 stock options were distributed as follows: 400 each were granted to board members Pat LaVecchia, Warren Kettlewell and Don Monaco; 800 each were granted to Bill Kerby, CEO and Adam Friedman, CFO; 1,250 was issued to various employees.

 

The fair value of the options granted on October 3, 2011 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the weighted average assumptions given below:

  

Weighted average fair value of options granted  $0.10 
Expected stock price volatility   236.23%
Risk-free interest rate   1.80%
Expected life of options    10.0 years

Common Stock Options (continued)

 

The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical information. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues over the equivalent lives of the options. The expected life of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise giving consideration to the contractual terms. The Company has not paid dividends on common shares and no assumption of dividend payment is made in the model.

 

Compensation expense relating to stock options granted during the year ended February 28, 2013, was $10,125.

Legal Matters

 

We are otherwise involved, from time to time, in litigation, other legal claims and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to our business, including, among other things, matters involving breach of contract claims, intellectual property and other related claims employment issues, and vendor matters. We believe that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, our assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to us or determinations by judges, juries or other finders of fact which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

 

There is currently a case pending whereby the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“defendant”) is being sued for allegedly breaching a contract which he signed in his role as CEO of Extraordinary Vacations Group, Inc. The case is being strongly contested. The defendant’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint with prejudice has been argued before the judge in the case. We are awaiting a ruling at this time.

 

The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Gari Media Group, Inc. in the United States District court for central district of California alleging that Next 1 owes $75,000 from a video and music production agreement provided for the Company’s television network.

 

Other Matters

 

In December 2005, the Company acquired Maupintour, LLC. On March 1, 2007, the Company sold Maupintour LLC to an unrelated third party for the sum of $1.00 and the assumption of $900,000 of Maupintour debts. In October 2007, the Company was advised that purchaser had been unable to raise the required capital it had agreed to under the negotiated purchase agreement and was exercising its right to rescind the purchase. Extraordinary Vacations agreed to fund all passengers travel and moved to wind down the corporation. As part of the wind down of Maupintour LLC, the Company created Maupintour Extraordinary Vacations, Inc. on December 14, 2007 under which certain assets and liabilities of Maupintour LLC was assumed in order to allow for customer travel and certain past obligations of Maupintour LLC to be met. Management estimates that there is approximately $420,000 in potential liabilities and has recorded an accrual for $420,000 in other current liabilities at February 28, 2013.

Note 16Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification 280-16 “Segment Reporting”, established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and required selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products, services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

The Company has two reportable operating segments: Media and Travel. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Each segment has its own product manager but the overall operations are managed and evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision makers for the purpose of allocating the Company’s resources. The Company also has a corporate headquarters function which does not meet the criteria of a reportable operating segment. Interest expense and corporate expenses are not allocated to the operating segments.

 

The tables below present information about reportable segments for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012:

 

    2013    2012

Note 17 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has adopted new guidance under ASC Topic 820, effective January 1, 2009. New authoritative accounting guidance (ASC Topic 820-10-15) under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, delayed the effective date of ASC Topic 820-10 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until 2009.

 

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data and requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. Further new authoritative accounting guidance (ASU No. 2009-05) under ASC Topic 820, provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update.

 

F-39
 

 

Note 17 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

  · Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  · Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

  · Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815,“Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

 

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

 

The following table sets forth the liabilities as February 28, 2013, which are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Note 18 – Income Taxes

 

Next 1 Interactive Inc. follows the guidance of ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry-forwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry-forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

 

The provision for income taxes consists of the following components for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 are as follows:

 

    2013    2012 
Current  $-   $- 
Deferred   -    - 
   $-   $- 

 

The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 are as follows:

 

   2013   2012 
Net operating loss carry-forwards  $17,572,000   $16,376,000 
Equity based compensation   3,277,000    2,790,000 
Amortization and impairment of intangibles   4,488,000    4,488,000 
Valuation allowance   (25,337,000)   (23,654,000)
   $-   $- 

 

The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rates to income before income taxes principally because of the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain.

 

The effective tax rates for years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were computed by applying the federal and state statutory corporate tax rates as follows:

  

   2013   2012 
Statutory Federal income tax rate   -35%   -35%
State taxes, net of Federal   -4%   -3%
Permanent difference   1%   10%
Increase in valuation allowance   40%   28%
    0%   0%

 

The valuation allowance has increased by $1,683,000 in 2013 and $6,348,000 in 2012.

 

The net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forward balance as of February 28, 2013 is approximately $46 million expiring between 2025 and 2032. Management has reviewed the provisions of ASC 740 regarding assessment of their valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and based on that criteria determined that it does not have sufficient taxable income to offset those assets.  Therefore, Management has assessed the realization of the deferred tax assets and has determined that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized and has provided a full valuation allowance against these assets.  The utilization of the NOL’s may be limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 which restricts annual utilization following a greater than 50% change in ownership.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, previously FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. Previously the Company has accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The statute of limitations is still open on years 2007 and subsequent. The Company recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than–not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date the Company applied ASC 740 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company did not recognize a material increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions.

Note 19Subsequent Events

  

In May 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance now codified as FASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FASC Topic 855 is effective for interim or fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company adopted the provisions of FASC Topic 855 on June 30, 2009. The Company evaluated subsequent events for the period after February 28, 2013, and has determined that all events requiring disclosure were made.

 

During March through May of 2013, the Company:
