1.             NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Location Based Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Springbank Resources, Inc.) (the “Company,” “our,” or “LBT”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 10, 2006.

Location Based Technologies, Corp. (formerly known as PocketFinder, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on September 16, 2005. On July 7, 2006, it established PocketFinder, LLC (“LLC”), a California Limited Liability Company. On May 29, 2007, PocketFinder, Inc. filed amended articles with the Secretary of State to change its name to Location Based Technologies, Corp.

On September 30, 2009, the Company formed Location Based Technologies, Ltd. (“LBT, Ltd.”), an England and Wales private limited company, to establish a presence in Europe. LBT, Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

1.             NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock Exchange Agreement

On October 11, 2007, Location Based Technologies, Corp. effected a stock exchange agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Springbank Resources, Inc. (“SRI”) whereby SRI acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Location Based Technologies, Corp. in exchange for shares of SRI’s common stock.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, SRI issued, and the stockholders of Location Based Technologies, Corp. accepted 55,153,500 shares of SRI’s common stock in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Location Based Technologies, Corp. The shares of SRI’s common stock were allocated to the shareholders of Location Based Technologies, Corp. in accordance with the Agreement.

The former shareholders of Location Based Technologies, Corp. acquired control of SRI upon the closing of the stock exchange transaction. The exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, Location Based Technologies, Corp. was considered the accounting acquiror, and the related business combination was considered a recapitalization of Location Based Technologies, Corp. rather than an acquisition by SRI. The historical financial statements prior to the Agreement are those of Location Based Technologies, Corp., and the name of the company was changed to Location Based Technologies, Inc.

Consolidation Policy

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Location Based Technologies, Ltd. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Stock Split

All share and per-share amounts in the accompanying financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, have been retroactively restated to reflect a 3 for 1 stock split approved by the Board in October 2008, as if the split had been in effect since inception.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K of Location Based Technologies, Inc. for the year ended August 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. For further information, these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2011, included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of May 31, 2012, had an accumulated deficit of $42,125,209. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management intends to raise additional financing through debt and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, even if the Company raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.

1.             NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts or balances to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method and with useful lives used in computing depreciation ranging from 1 to 5 years. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Internal Website Development Costs

Under FASB ASC 350-50 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Website Development Costs, costs and expenses incurred during the planning and operating stages of the Company's web site development are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the web site application and infrastructure development stages are capitalized by the Company and amortized to expense over the web site's estimated useful life or period of benefit. As of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company capitalized costs totaling $1,361,959 related to its website development. 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 – Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets that requires long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value. During the year ended August 31, 2010, due to uncertainties related to the recovery of its investment in the PocketFinder® website as a result of generally poor economic conditions and the Company’s history of difficulties in obtaining financing for product launch, the Company recorded a full impairment of its Website Development Costs totaling $1,361,959.

Amortization expense totaled $4,692 and $24,848 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is a liability related to a revenue producing activity for which revenue has not yet been recognized. As of May 31, 2012, deferred revenue amounted to $362,303 and consisted of the aggregate value of on-hand inventory of PocketFinder® devices held by a distributor.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) the products or services have been provided to the customer, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where the customer, at its discretion, has the right to reject the product or services prior to final acceptance, revenue is deferred until such acceptance occurs.

Device Sales Revenue – Revenue from the sales of PocketFinder® products is recognized upon shipment to website customers and upon delivery to distributors.  Reductions to revenue for product held at distributors are recognized as deferred revenue until product is “sold through” to retailers. Revenue is further reduced for expected future product returns based on management’s judgment using historical experience and expectation of future conditions.

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes.   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements’ carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. The Company has included its $800 minimum franchise fee in its provision for income taxes for the nine months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011.

Earnings/ Loss Per Share

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with FASB ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share, which specifies the compilation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for income per share for entities with publicly held common stock or instruments which are potentially common stock.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares primarily consist of stock options and warrants issued by the Company. These potential common shares are excluded from diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The purpose of ASU 2011-04 is to clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and to change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. The objective of ASU 2011-05 is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The update will require entities to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements, and entities will no longer be allowed to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income will be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-05 to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, which amends ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. The purpose of ASU 2011-08 is to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. Entities will assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. In instances where the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, entities will perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies

In 2007, the Company sold convertible notes to accredited investors in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and similar state exemptions. Management has been advised by counsel that the availability of those exemptions cannot be determined with legal certainty due to the fact that the Company or its predecessors may not have complied with all of the provisions of exemption safe-harbors for such sales offered by rules promulgated under the Securities Act by the SEC. Thus, it is possible that a right of rescission may exist for shares underlying the convertible notes for which the statute of limitations has not run. From November 2007 through December 2007, all of the convertible notes payable totaling $5,242,000 were converted into 15,726,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, some of the shares were sold in the open market. Management has performed an analysis under FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and concluded that the likelihood of a right of rescission being successfully enforced on the remaining convertible note shares is remote, and consequently, has accounted for these shares in permanent equity in the financial statements.

11.           PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences arise from the difference between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and tax rates on the date of enactment.

11.           PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The Company did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income taxes or benefits for any of the periods presented because the Company has experienced operating losses since inception. The Company provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn sufficient income to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset as of May 31, 2012, are as follows:
 
Net operating loss carry forward and deductible temporary differences   $ 13,368,000  
Valuation allowance
    (13,368,000 )
         
Net deferred tax asset
  $ -  

A reconciliation of the combined federal and state statutory income taxes rate and the effective rate is as follows:  
 
Federal tax at statutory rate   $ 34.00 %
State income tax net of federal benefit     5.83 %
Valuation allowance

The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $2,216,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012.

As of May 31, 2012, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $33,563,000 which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2031. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. These carryforwards may be limited upon a change in ownership or consummation of a business combination under IRC Sections 381 and 382.

As of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, no accrued interest and penalties are recorded relating to uncertain tax positions. Any such interest and penalties would be included in interest expense as a component of pre-tax net income or loss. The Company's tax filings are no longer open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years prior to 2007 and by state taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2006.

Overview.  We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April 2006 as Springbank Resources, Inc. (“SRI”).  SRI was formed to engage in the exploration and development of oil and gas, and by 2007 had disposed of all of its assets and satisfied its liabilities.  In October 2007, SRI acquired all of the outstanding stock of Location Based Technologies, Corp. (“Old LBT”), following which SRI merged Old LBT into itself and, in the process, SRI’s name was changed to Location Based Technologies, Inc.  Old LBT was incorporated in September 2005 by David Morse, Joseph Scalisi and Desiree Mejia, who became our officers and directors, in order to develop the PocketFinder personal locators.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 49 Discovery, Suite 260, Irvine, California 92618, and our telephone number is 888-600-1044.
 
Our shares of common stock are currently traded in the over-the-counter market and our stock price is reported on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “LBAS.”

Unless otherwise stated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company” and similar designations refer to Location Based Technologies, Inc.
 
Location Based Technologies®, PocketFinder® and PocketFinder Pets® are registered trademarks, and PocketFinder Network™, PocketFinder People™, PocketFinder Vehicle™, PocketFinder Luggage™, PocketFinder Mobile™ and VehicleFleetFinder™ are trademarks, of the company.  With respect to this report, we reserve all rights to the foregoing trademarks regardless of whether they carry the “®” or “™” designation.
 
Our Business.  We design, develop, and sell leading-edge personal locator devices and services. Our devices utilize Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and General Packet Radio Service (“GPRS”) technologies in conjunction with our patented, proprietary hardware and software to allow users to locate their devices in real time.  Our flagship PocketFinder products are small, completely wireless, location devices that enable users to locate a person, pet, vehicle or other valuable item anytime from almost anywhere.  The device location and other critical information can be viewed by logging on to our website (www.pocketfinder.com) or by using the PocketFinder iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad Apps and, most recently, an Android App (available from Google Play or Android Market).  Customers may also access the website from any Internet capable smartphone. The PocketFinder can also push near real time location information to users via email or SMS Text Messaging.
 
Current products include: PocketFinder People, PocketFinder Pets, PocketFinder Vehicles, PocketFinder Mobile, a very long battery life asset tracking device called the PF-886, and GPSVehicleLocator devices.  These products are all based on proprietary LBT technology and will be utilized to serve strategic vertical markets with global opportunities.  

Apple Store sales began in late November of 2011 and Apple Online launched just prior to that timeframe.  With six full months of being on the shelf LBT has delivered slightly over 8,200 devices to Apple.  We have also recently expanded the sales channel to include PocketFinder Pet and Vehicle locators that are now available to purchase from our PocketFinder website.  Combined Apple and website sales and activations are showing steady increases month over month.  June sales reflect our highest combined sales and activations month with an 11% increase in device activations.  Advertising and general market awareness over the past few months includes our PocketFinder products highlighted by Dr. Gadget on radio and on  ABC’s The View and Extra; NBC’s Today Show, and a month long focus on teen driving safety in partnership with NBCUniversal in Texas.  In addition Jennifer Jolly presented our products in Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles on CNN, CBS, WGN, WLS, Daily Motion, and ABC’s Money Matters. We are significantly expanding our presence on the Worldwide Web as well as in digital and print media.

All consumer sales include two months of free service with the purchase of the device; therefore, revenues continue to reflect the latency of the monthly recurring income.  We are also exploring several service option plans for family and multiple accounts.  Some plans offered will be paid in advance, typically in one lump sum payment.

Our Apple sales include only the United States and Canada yet our devices continue to draw International attention. Work with Apple Online to open up the market in Mexico is progressing and should be open for sales soon.  We currently have devices working in over 70 countries (37% of all countries in the world) and multiple requests for distribution opportunities from 64 countries around the world.  Associated with this kind of interest, we are working with a select few of these distributors and addressing the need for local wireless carrier involvement in order to be able to provide a reasonably priced monthly service fee, solid customer and technical support, and market reach.  The first distributor in the Australasia territory is very close to closing.

Our preferred partners are the wireless carriers themselves because of their ready network and customer/billing infrastructure.  Negotiations with four Tier 1 wireless carriers have progressed and devices are being tested on their networks. Early discussions/exploration with several other Tier 2 and 3 carriers also continue.  A couple of the Tier 1 carriers cover multiple countries and their involvement, albeit slow, will net broad International market coverage.  

Commercial and Government/Military applications are also progressing as is our relationship with The World Famous West Coast Customs.  While our devices are being used in many of their custom builds we are also expanding the relationship to include co-branded distribution opportunities as well as other Commercial activities.  Filming for this September’s WCC’s TV series is well underway (showing in 28.5M households weekly) and will include demonstrations of how to install our vehicle device as well as the ease and simplicity of our multiple Interfaces. The co-branded products would be available for sale online and in select retail stores where other WCC products are sold.  We are finalizing the WCC project and anticipate launching the co-branded products later this summer.

We recently launched our new Business Solutions website and support infrastructure.  This site and intelligence was designed utilizing a vast amount of customer input and guidance.  We now have 59 businesses actively using our system with many more in the pipeline. We continue to work with several major International airlines with global cargo applications utilizing the PF-886 device.  We are also working with two major banks in Mexico interested in the vehicle solution for insurance related applications (our location products were featured during “Cargo Weeks” show during June in Mexico City, Mexico) as well as a number of national retail concerns.  There is tremendous need for various applications in these areas.

Our products are all supported by feature rich Apps that allow users to maximize the functionality and benefits of PocketFinder devices from almost anywhere at any time.  The iPhone, native iPad, and Android Apps are free downloads available through the iTunes Store or on Google Play and the Android Market respectively.  They deliver the ability to set up and manage PocketFinder devices while users are on the go throughout the day or night from virtually anywhere in the world that the user’s phone has network connectivity.  BlackBerry and Windows Mobile Professional 6.0 Operating Systems are able to access the existing www.pocketfinder.com website to manage and set up accounts.  
 
In response to specific customer demand for a small location device that delivered as much as 30 days of battery life for asset tracking and, more specifically, the shipping of high value parts and/or products, we developed the PF-886 device, an extended battery life product.  These devices provide more than 3 weeks with 5 minute locates and deliver multiple months of continuous service with a once or twice a day location option.  The devices are small (approximately 4 1/2 inches by 2 1/4 inches) and weigh just over 5.5 ounces.  Devices are available for order now.
 
Strategy Analytic’s Nitesh Patel released the “The $10 B Rule: Location, Location, Location” study in May 2011.  Mr. Patel believes that the evolution of location based services has momentum of its own sufficient to further evolve and develop the market to a point where it is projected to be valued at $10B by 2016.  He further states that “Consumers are increasingly demanding services such as search, maps, or navigation, for which location information is either fundamental to or provides greater context, utility and therefore appeal.”
 
In May 2012 Kumu Puri, Senior Executive, Accenture’s Electronics & High-Tech Group shared that over the past few years Accenture has studied usage of technology by consumers to identify major trends that might assist their corporate clients. Their most recent survey of 19 different technologies across users in 10 countries revealed four major trends that they believe will be crucial over the next several years. They are:
 
 
·
Consumers are reaching a state of “hypermobility,” rapidly adopting mobile technologies and downloading applications that keep them connected anywhere, anytime.
 
 
41

 
 
 
·
Consumers are increasingly reaching into the network and modifying their behaviors as they rely on cloud services.
 
·
Consumers’ use of electronics is increasingly more dependent on the exploding number of applications now within their reach.
 
·
Emerging markets lead in usage and spending growth of many consumer technologies.
 
Puri went on to say that, “Consumers are adopting mobile technology so rapidly that the mobility trend is in hyper-drive. While consumers still have strong ownership and usage of desktop or laptop computers (90% surveyed own them), purchase intentions for computers are slowly declining. Simultaneously, smartphone and tablet PC ownership is rising steeply. More than half of consumers we surveyed own a smartphone – up 25 points in the past 12 months. This marks a growth rate of 89% over the previous year. One-third of respondents bought a smartphone in 2011, an increase of 15 percentage points compared with 2010.  On a similar trajectory, ownership of tablets grew by 50% last year, from 8% of consumers owning them to 12%, according to our study.
 
“These survey findings paint a picture of consumers striving to get and stay connected wherever they are via mobile technologies, abundant app choices and a growing set of service alternatives from the cloud. The era of hypermobility has numerous implications for consumer electronics companies as they work to capture the greatest share of wallet among their target customers.”

We are aggressively moving the PocketFinder family of products web-based features and functionality onto more functional mobile platforms to better meet the needs of this highly mobile society.  We are seeing similar demands and requirements in families and in businesses.  By taking advantage of the latest in GPS, GSM, and Internet technology, small and medium sized businesses will be able to more effectively and efficiently manage their mobile assets and key human resources as well as to carefully monitor the shipping and delivery of high value assets.  Although we are only actively selling devices in the US and Canada, we find that many people have purchased our devices while visiting the US and then returned home to activate.  Global usage now comprises countries in much of Europe, Russia, Romania, Ukraine, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, Australia, many countries in South America.
  
In addition, vertical applications we receive customer feedback from include: outdoor enthusiasts, adult children of the elderly, elder care providers of patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia, special needs providers for those with disabilities, pet owners, and for the tracking and recovery of valuable property and luggage while traveling.  Our device is only fifty millimeters in diameter (about 2 inches).  It fits easily into a child’s pocket, into a backpack, or onto a belt.  The PocketFinder People and PocketFinder Pets devices will come with a form-fitting silicone pouch that can easily slide onto a belt or a pet’s collar.
 
We continue to tightly control our overhead and ensure that we have the right resources in place at the right time.  We have a very talented senior management team that brings the right knowledge, skills and abilities to deliver world-class products and services.  Distribution opportunities are being negotiated as we carefully analyze each market opportunity against the cost of entry, potential growth, economic value, and support capability metrics.   We are developing a business model for international market opportunities and are in discussions with wireless carriers and/or distributors in multiple countries at this time.  Key personnel have been brought in as independent contractors to supplement our existing team with customer, sales and business development skills.  Our customer service center personnel have received consistently high feedback from customers who have found need for assistance and offer their support in English and Spanish.  
 
Our Personal Locator Services. Our products are currently being sold through various online retailers, the Online Apple Store, Apple Retail Stores and through our website.  We provide customer service and support in the United States through existing, award winning call centers owned by Affinitas.  In the consumer market we are seeing multiple vertical market segments including the following:
 
  
Parents of young children (primarily 5 to 12 years of age) who seek the peace of mind of being able to know that their children are where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be there;
 
Small and mid-sized business owners;
 
1st time family drivers or for added security in heavy snow States;
 
Elder Care and Special Needs support and applications such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Dementia, and Alzheimers;
 
Pet care and location capability; and
 
Asset tracking and location capability: cars, trucks, snowmobiles, fleet management, luggage, boats, RVs, and other high-valued assets.
 
Our Intellectual Property Investment.  We continue to invest in intellectual property that consists of apparatus patents and applications and system and method patents and applications.  We have filed claims that cover many aspects of the PocketFinder, its operating system and user interface.  We have expanded and filed additional claims this fiscal year that cover new aspects of the PocketFinder People device, its operating system and user interface.  Our intellectual property portfolio includes 29 issued US patents, 16 pending US patents, 8 pending foreign patents, 6 PCT filings, 17 registered trademarks and 4 Madrid protocol trademark cases.

We own the Internet domain name www.pocketfinder.com as well as the names of numerous other related domains that could have use in future business and vertical marketing initiatives and for Internet marketing purposes.  Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as “.org,” or with a country designation.  The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names.

Our Target Markets and Marketing Strategy.  We provide wireless location based solutions for global positioning products and with its proprietary “friendly user interface” software system.  Our PocketFinder family of products delivers rugged, compact products with near real time location-based information over its proprietary server architecture.  Our products optimize the way families stay connected with one another, for pet owners to know where their pets are on demand, and provide solutions for asset tracking – such as shipping of high value assets or LoadRack Tracker’s trucking solution for controlled temperature environments.  We have the ability to add our customer’s existing location devices onto our superior location platform in order to simplify the customers need to manage all location-based devices in one easy tool.
 
PocketFinder and PocketFinder Vehicle devices are being sold in the United States and in Canada through the Apple Online Store and Apple Retail Stores. PocketFinder devices for Pets are available for purchase on our website. We are also working on several “white label” marketing opportunities.  In addition, licensing opportunities are being explored on the international front.
 
Our marketing initiatives will include:

 
Licensing opportunities for the products in international areas or regions;
 
Self-branded or “white label” opportunities for niche market or vertical market sales;
 
Affinity group marketing and outreach opportunities;
 
Utilization of direct response sales due to public relations outreach in special interest magazines and newsletters; and
 
Retail distribution initiatives.
 
  Our Revenue Sources.  We expect our revenues to be derived from the following sources:

 
Potential licensing fees;
 
Organizations that will self-brand the PocketFinder for specialized niche markets (“white label”);
 
Personal Locator device sales to retailers;
 
Personal Locator device sales through affinity groups and through our website;
 
Personal Locator device accessory sales; and
 
Monthly recurring service fees.
 
Our Growth Strategy.  Our objective is to become a premier provider of personal and asset location services in the Location Based Services market.  Our strategy is to provide high quality devices that meet the market’s requirements whether it is for business applications or for their children, pets, or asset tracking (luggage, vehicles, boats, etc.).  Key elements of our strategy include market education of this new GPS mobile application and:
 
 
A mass market retail price of under $150.00 for Personal Location devices (customized trucking solutions with additional features and capabilities will be sold at a higher cost);
 
A basic monthly service fee in the U.S. for family applications of $12.95 and for most business applications under $20/month with multiple convenient access points (Smartphone and/or via the Internet);
 
Ease of use at the location interface point as well as with the device; and
 
Rugged design that meets the rigors of life and work.
 
Our Competition.  Personal location and property tracking devices are beginning to significantly penetrate the marketplace.  We believe this condition represents a tremendous opportunity as customers will be attracted in large numbers once the intrinsic value of such devices is recognized and mass market adoption begins.
 
Our competitors include, but are not limited to: Geospatial Platform Providers, Application Developers, Garmin’s GTU-10, Qualcomm’s Tagg, Lo-Jack, and SpotLight.  These competitors may be better financed, or have greater marketing and scientific resources than we do.
 
In related markets, GPS devices have become widely used for automotive and marine applications where line-of-sight to GPS satellites is not a significant issue.  Manufacturers such as Garmin, Navman, Magellan, TomTom, Pharos, NovAtel and DeLorne are finding a market interested in using these products for both business and leisure purposes.  As a result, use of GPS technology in devices such as chart plotters, fitness and training devices, fish finders, laptop computers, and personal digital assistant (“PDA”) location devices are gaining significant market acceptance and commercialization.  Prices range from $100 to several thousand dollars.  We expect that increasing consumer demand in these markets will drive additional applications and lower price points.
 
 
43

 
 
Government Regulation.  We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applied to businesses generally as well as Federal Communications Commission, Internationale Canada (“IC”) and CE (European Economic Area) wireless device regulations and controls.  We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in all relevant jurisdictions.  We are currently seeking NOM and NYCE certifications in order to begin sales in Mexico.  We do not believe that we are subject to any environmental laws and regulations of the United States and the states in which we operate.
 
Our Research and Development.  We will continue to invest in ongoing research and development to enhance the size and performance of our existing products as well as to customize products to better fit specific vertical market needs and requirements.  We will continue to work with our manufacturer and several other entities that are conducting research on key aspects of the device itself (including expanded antennae capability, battery capacity, Iridium Satellite connectivity, and enhanced location reliability and accuracy) in an ongoing effort to provide the best quality product at the very best size and value in the market.  We anticipate ongoing involvement with some level of developmental activity throughout the foreseeable future.
  
Employees and Outsourced Assistance.  We have limited our use of contracted professionals who have been engaged in hardware and software development, early marketing and sales preparation, and preparation for customer service support.  Mr. Scalisi, our Co-President and Chief Development Officer, Mr. Morse, our Co-President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mrs. Mejia, our Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Gregory Gaines, our Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, currently devote 100% of their business time to our operations.  Our CFO, Mr. Eric Fronk, is currently serving part-time.  In addition to our new Board members, we have added several key contributors with customer service, business development, and sales leadership experience.  Remaining true to our “outsourced” model for growth and expansion, any large personnel increase will be accomplished through sales and customer support outsourced organizations contracted to provide respective services.  The company will remain focused on our core competency of providing location devices and services.

Our Website.  Our corporate websites, www.locationbasedtech.com and www.pocketfinder.com, provide a description of our corporate business along with our contact information including address, telephone number and e-mail address or product information and sales, respectively.  Our PocketFinder website also provides prospective customers with relevant information about our products, pricing and payment options, pre-ordering capability, frequently asked questions and access to corporate investor relations information.  Information contained on our websites is not a part of this report.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
For the nine months ended May 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2011.
 
Revenue.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012, we generated $368,440 of net revenue as compared to $9,442 of net revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  Net revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, consisted of $318,631 from the sales of PocketFinder devices and $49,809 from monthly subscription service income.  

Cost of Revenue.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012, cost of revenue totaled $856,215 resulting in a negative gross margin of $487,775 as compared to $21,077 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The cost of revenue was significantly higher than net revenue during the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as we incurred labor and cost overages to accelerate our initial production run to meet our distributor delivery deadlines.  In addition, certain fixed overhead charges contributed to the negative gross margin.  We anticipate that our unit cost will be significantly lower as our production volumes grow.

Operating Expenses.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012, our total operating expenses were $4,685,211 as compared to total operating expenses of $2,190,302 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  Operating expenses increased by $2,494,909 or 113% in 2012 from 2011.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributed to the following:

 
A $580,102 increase in general and administrative expenses to $1,109,434 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $529,332 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2012 as compared to 2011 is due to the following:

 
o
Increase in advertising fees to market our products;
 
o
Increase in insurance costs as a result of increasing our product liability coverage;
 
o
Increase in computer expenses related to our website and development of the PocketFinder apps; and
 
o
Recognition of board of directors fees upon the establishment of the board in October 2011.

 
A $570,359 increase in officer compensation to $974,359 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $405,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase in officer compensation is due to the addition of our Chief Marketing Officer in October 2011 and our Chief Financial Officer in March 2012.  Approximately $404,000 of the increase is due to the granting of stock options to three executive officers in accordance with Executive Employment Agreements.  The fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model amounted to $404,121;

 
44

 
 
 
An $824,837 increase in professional fees to $1,828,842 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $1,004,005 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The increase in professional fees is primarily attributed to a significant increase in legal fees related to the Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. loan defaults and to prepare the filing of our registration statement on Form S-1.  In addition, professional fees increased due to the addition of nine consultants specializing in sales and marketing, business development, financial services, technology, and customer service;

 
A $421,412 increase in research and development costs to $546,075 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $124,663 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, as we increased R&D activities related to our PocketFinder XL device; and

 
The increases above were offset by a $69,695 decrease in rent to $57,607 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $127,302 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, due to moving to smaller office space in Irvine.

Other Income/Expenses.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012, we reported net other income totaling $100,207 that consisted of net interest expense, financing costs, amortization of deferred financing costs, gain on debt settlement and foreign currency gains as compared to net other expenses totaling $3,063,929 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011.  The $3,164,136 decrease in other income and expenses is primarily due to the following:
 
 
A $2,282,434 decrease in financing costs to $78,971 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $2,361,405 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 due to a significant reduction in finder’s fees and financing activities following the private placement in July 2011;
 
 
A $236,167 decrease in the amortization of beneficial conversion features on notes payable to $0 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $236,167 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 as all convertible notes were previously converted and no new convertible notes were entered into during the nine months ended May 31, 2012;
 
 
A $150,981 decrease in interest expense to $203,904 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $354,885 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 as the majority of note payables were converted during the private placement in July 2011; and

 
A $580,598 gain on debt settlement related to the Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. notes payable was recognized during the nine months ended May 31, 2012, whereby, there was no such gain during the nine months ended May 31, 2011.

Net Loss.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2012, we reported a net loss of $5,073,579 as compared to a net loss of $5,266,666 for the nine months ended May 31, 2011, due to fluctuations in operating and other expenses as previously discussed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash and cash equivalents of $330,832 as of May 31, 2012, as compared to $3,619,576 as of August 31, 2011.  The decrease in cash as of May 31, 2012, as compared to August 31, 2011 is attributed to the purchase of device components and the production of PocketFinder devices.

Inventory totaled $4,805,514 as of May 31, 2012, as compared to $24,809 as of August 31, 2011 and consisted of $59,029 of packaging supplies, $1,697,849 of device components and $3,048,636 of finished goods.

Prepaid expenses and other assets including deferred financing costs totaled $562,240 as of May 31, 2012, as compared to $1,502,838 as of August 31, 2011 and consisted of prepaid advisor retainers, insurance, interest, commissions, license fees, and prepaid manufacturing costs.  The decrease in prepaid expenses as of May 31, 2012 from August 31, 2011 is the result of recognizing approximately $1.4 million in prepaid manufacturing costs at August 31, 2011; whereby, there were no such costs at May 31, 2012.

There were no manufacturing deposits as of May 31, 2012, as compared to $2,800,000 as of August 31, 2011.  The decrease is the result of using deposits to purchase inventory components and manufacture PocketFinder devices from August 31, 2011 to May 31, 2012.

As of May 31, 2012, the total of our property and equipment, less accumulated depreciation, was a net value of $330,333, compared to the net value of $191,855 for our property and equipment, less accumulated depreciation, as of August 31, 2011.  The increase is primarily due to the development of more robust PocketFinder apps and the purchase of tooling and equipment for device production.

Other assets, consisted of patents and trademarks, net of amortization, and deposits.  Deposits consisted of the security deposit for our office lease and amounted to $30,000 as of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011.  Patents and trademarks, net of amortization, amounted to $1,250,067 as of May 31, 2012, as compared to $1,231,084 as of August 31, 2011.  We periodically assess our patents and intellectual property for impairment and none has been recorded to date.
 
Our total assets as of May 31, 2012, were $7,642,857 as compared to our total assets as of August 31, 2011, which were $9,400,162.  The decrease in our total assets between the two periods was primarily due to a decrease in cash that was offset by an increase in inventory as previously discussed.
 
As of May 31, 2012, our accounts payable and accrued expenses were $1,380,549 as compared to $1,329,689 as of August 31, 2011.  
 
As of May 31, 2012, accrued officer compensation was $938,583 as compared to $914,765 as of August 31, 2011.  

As of May 31, 2012, deferred revenue was $362,303 and consisted of the aggregate value of on-hand inventory of PocketFinder® devices held by a distributor.
 
There were no outstanding advances from officers or related accrued interest as of May 31, 2012, as compared to $9,462 as of August 31, 2011.  Advances from officers and accrued interest at August 31, 2011 were paid off in September 2011.    
 
Convertible notes payable and related accrued interest totaled $1,752,322 as of May 31, 2012, as compared to $918,534 as of August 31, 2011.  The $1,750,000 of convertible promissory notes are short term, to be repaid out of future operating cash flow.

The outstanding balance on our line of credit and accrued interest totaled $1,000,000 and $5,597, respectively, as of May 31, 2012.  
 
On January 5, 2011, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a $1,000,000 line of credit originally expiring January 5, 2012.  On August 24, 2011, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended by a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement to waive existing and pending defaults on loan covenants.  On February 3, 2012, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended by a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement to extend the maturity date to April 4, 2012 and to waive existing and pending defaults on loan covenants.  On April 17, 2012, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended by a Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement to extend the maturity date to October 5, 2012 and to waive existing and pending defaults on loan covenants.  All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.  The outstanding balance and accrued interest due on the line of credit totaled $1,005,597 as of May 31, 2012.  Silicon Valley Bank maintains a security interest in all of our personal property.  
  
Commitments as of May 31, 2012, amounted to $499,387 compared to $685,500 as of August 31, 2011, and consisted of the liability on losses from inventory purchase commitments recognized in August 2011.

On December 1, 2010, in anticipation of entering into the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and in connection with loans that he had made to us, we entered into a Financing Agreement with Greggory S. Haugen under which, among other things, Mr. Haugen agreed to personally guaranty our obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.  We are obligated to reimburse Mr. Haugen for any amounts, including interest, he pays under the guaranty.  To compensate Mr. Haugen for his guaranty, we issued a warrant to him to purchase 3,600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share and we agreed to pay him $5,000 per month for so long as he has any obligation under the guaranty or he has not been reimbursed by us for any amounts paid by him under the guaranty.  Currently the $5,000 monthly fee is payable in cash or shares of our common stock at Mr. Haugen’s option.  Under the Financing Agreement, we granted Mr. Haugen board observation rights, certain registration rights, and the right to approve our use of funds drawn under the Loan and Security Agreement.  We also agreed to grant Mr. Haugen a security interest in all of our assets, junior only to the security interest of Silicon Valley Bank.  In the event of an “Actionable Violation,” which is defined to include, among other things, our failure to maintain certain minimum net income levels, our failure to maintain a specified minimum account balance, or our failure to make any payment required under the Financing Agreement or any other agreement between Mr. Haugen and us, Mr. Haugen may, among other things, market our assets (including our intellectual property) and require us to sell such assets (subject to the approval of Silicon Valley Bank) with the proceeds to be applied to all amounts then due to Silicon Valley Bank and thereafter to any amounts due by us to Mr. Haugen under the Financing Agreement or any other agreement or instrument.  In January 2011, we entered into the following agreements with Mr. Haugen: (i) a Security Agreement granting him a security interest in all of our assets to secure the reimbursement obligation under the Financing Agreement and every other debt, liability or obligation that we currently or at any time in the future owe to him and (ii) a related Intellectual Property Security Agreement granting him a security interest in all of our intellectual property.

In 2007, we sold $5,242,000 in convertible notes that were subsequently converted into 5,242,000 shares of common stock.  The notes were sold to accredited investors.  We made these sales in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and similar state exemptions.  Our counsel has advised us that the availability of those exemptions cannot be determined with legal certainty due to the fact that we may not have complied with all of the form filings or other notice filing provisions of safe-harbor exemptions for such sales offered by rules promulgated under the Securities Act by the SEC and applicable state laws.  Thus, it is possible that the sale of the convertible notes may have violated the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.  As to those sales, a right of rescission may exist on which the statute of limitations has not run.  We performed an analysis under FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and concluded that the likelihood of a right of rescission being successfully enforced on the convertible note sales is remote.

CASH REQUIREMENTS
 
We are an early stage wireless technology company focused on the marketing and sales of the PocketFinder family of products for retail distribution.  Since our inception, we have generated significant losses.  As of May 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $42,125,209 and we expect to incur continual losses until sometime in calendar year 2013.
 
We have a limited history of operations.  To date, we have funded our operations primarily through personal loans by the founders and the private placement of our common stock and convertible notes.
 
As of May 31, 2012, we had $330,832 in cash and cash-equivalents.  Over the next several quarters we expect to invest significant amounts of funds to develop our sales and marketing programs associated with the commercialization and launch of the PocketFinder family of products.  We also expect to fund any additional inventory requirements and any necessary general overhead requirements.
  
We expect to have to obtain additional financing in the coming months for general and administrative expenses as well as purchasing and maintaining inventory, and for related purposes such as packaging, shipping, and direct sales and marketing costs.  We are not able to estimate the amount of funds necessary as it will be determined by the volume represented by purchase orders from targeted distributors and direct end users.

Our funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:
 
 
Costs involved in production and manufacturing to fill purchase orders, software and interface customization for OEM partners, and the network necessary to commence the commercialization of the PocketFinder People and PocketFinder Pets devices;

 
The costs of outsourced manufacturing;

 
The costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution, and customer service and support;

 
Our revenues, if any, from successful commercialization of the PocketFinder devices and the PocketFinder Network platform services; and

 
Other general and administrative expenses associated with running the day to day operations of our Company.
 
 
On March, 16, 2012, we consummated a financing with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) which could net us up to $2,000,000 in capital.  As of May 31, 2012, we received investments from JMJ totaling $1,560,000, but future capital distributions shall be made solely at JMJ’s discretion.  Due to the uncertain nature of any future funding from JMJ, we may need to raise debt or equity capital this coming quarter.  The sale of additional equity securities may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.  The sale of debt securities could involve substantial operational and financial covenants that might inhibit our ability to follow our business plan.  Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or at all.  If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned commercialization activities, which could adversely affect our financial conditions and operating results.
 
Product Research and Development
 
We plan to continue to develop new product enhancements to our existing product on the market including PocketFinder People and PocketFinder Vehicles.  We are currently in the final process of testing the PocketFinder XL (“extended life”) devices with some key potential customers.
 
Plant and Equipment, Employees
 
We do not plan to purchase or sell any significant equipment, plant or properties during the foreseeable future.  We currently have nine employees and we anticipate adding up to 10 more full time employees within the next 12 months.  Our business operations are based on a strategic outsourcing model, thereby negating the need for significant amounts of plant and equipment, or significant numbers of employees.  Thus, we do not anticipate hiring any significant number of additional employees during the next 12 months but will add a few selected and strategic employees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of May 31, 2012, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures  

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2012, due to the material weaknesses resulting from a lack of segregation of duties in our accounting department, and a limited corporate governance structure.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended May 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. alleged that we were in default in the payment of the principal and unpaid accrued interest under two senior secured promissory notes in its favor in the original principal amounts of $625,000 and $100,000.  These notes were secured by a pledge of 5,600,000 shares of our common stock personally owned by one of our officers.  On or about February 1, 2010, Gemini seized all of the pledged shares and sold them to itself for a total of $10,000 at what it designated as an auction.  It is our position that, at the time of the purported auction, the shares had a fair market value that exceeded the amount of the claimed obligation.  In April 2011, Gemini filed a complaint against us for breach of contract for non-payment of amounts due under the two senior secured promissory notes.  The complaint specifies damages totaling $858,292, plus pre-judgment interest, costs of suit and other relief.  In June 2011, we filed a cross-complaint against Gemini for monetary damages related to Gemini’s disposition of the pledged shares.  It is Gemini’s position that we remain obligated to pay Gemini the $858,292 in claimed damages plus pre-judgment interest, costs of suit and other relief, less the $10,000 that Gemini claims was derived from the sale of the pledged shares.  It is our position, expressed in our cross-complaint, that Gemini’s disposition of the pledged shares failed to comply with the law and that the pledged shares had a fair market value that exceeded the debt for which they were sold, such that Gemini’s claimed obligation has been paid in full, and we are entitled to certain damages and related relief. On February 22, 2012, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release resulting in full satisfaction of the two notes payable balance and accrued interest totaling $725,000 and $168,089, respectively.
