Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Mobivity Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “we”) is in the business of developing and operating proprietary platforms over which brands and enterprises can conduct national and localized, data-driven mobile marketing campaigns. Our proprietary platforms, consisting of software available to phones, tablets, PCs, and Point of Sale (“POS”) systems, allow resellers, brands, and enterprises to market their products and services to consumers through text messages sent directly to consumers via mobile phones, mobile smartphone applications, and dynamically printed receipt content. On November 14, 2018, we completed the acquisition of certain operating assets relating to Belly, Inc.’s proprietary digital customer loyalty platform, including client contracts, accounts receivable, and intellectual property. We generate revenue by charging the resellers, brands, and enterprises a per-message transactional fee, through fixed or variable software licensing fees, or via advertising fees.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.
In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2022.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used are those related to stock-based compensation, asset impairments, the valuation and useful lives of depreciable tangible and certain intangible assets, the fair value of common stock used in acquisitions of businesses, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions of businesses, the fair value of options issued with related party debt, and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassifications did not affect previously reported net losses.
Acquisitions
We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method, our consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. In addition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective estimated fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We minimize our credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of our primary financial institution. Our balances at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on our cash accounts.
Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Concentrations
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. We grant unsecured credit to substantially all of our customers. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed, and potential credit losses are charged to operations at the time the account receivable is estimated to be uncollectible. Since we cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our reserves will continue to be adequate.
As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.
We conducted our annual impairment tests of goodwill as of December 31, 2021. As a result of these tests, we had a total impairment charge of $
Intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer and merchant relationships, purchased trade names, purchased technology, non-compete agreements, and software development costs. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from year to years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets.
The Company’s evaluation of its long-lived assets resulted in $
Software Development Costs
Software development costs include direct costs incurred for internally developed products and payments made to independent software developers and/or contract engineers. The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance for the costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed (Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, or “ASC Subtopic 985-20”). Software development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established, and such costs are determined to be recoverable. The technological feasibility of a product encompasses technical design documentation and integration documentation, or the completed and tested product design and working model. Software development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable against future revenues. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a project-by-project basis. Amounts related to software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to the appropriate expense account. Amounts that are considered ‘research and development’ that are not capitalized are immediately charged to engineering, research, and development expense.
Capitalized costs for those products that are canceled or abandoned are charged to product development expenses in the period of cancellation. Commencing upon product release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to “Amortization Expense - Development” based on the straight-line method over a -month period.
The Company evaluates the future recoverability of capitalized software development costs on an annual basis. For products that have been released in prior years, the primary evaluation criterion is ongoing relations with the customer. The Company’s evaluation of its capitalized software development assets resulted in impairment charges of $
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary from the local (functional) currency into US Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of ASC subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”). Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Revenue Recognition and Concentrations
Our Recurrency platform is a hosted solution. We generate revenue from licensing our software to clients in our software as a service model, per-message and per-minute transactional fees, and customized professional services. We recognize license/subscription fees over the period of the contract, service fees as the services are performed, and per-message or per-minute transaction revenue when the transaction takes place. Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We consider authoritative guidance on multiple deliverables in determining whether each deliverable represents a separate unit of accounting. Some customers are billed on a month-to-month basis with no contractual term and fees are collected by credit card. Revenue is recognized at the time that the services are rendered, and the selling price is fixed with a set range of plans. Cash received in advance of the performance of services is recorded as deferred revenue.
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, applying the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, the Company discontinued revenue deferral under the sell-through model and commenced recording revenue upon delivery to distributors, net of estimated returns. Generally, the new standard results in earlier recognition of revenues.
We determine revenue recognition under ASC 606 through the following steps:
| ● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
| ● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | identification of the transaction price; |
| ● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. We are required to record all components of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net loss and other comprehensive loss, including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments, are reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at a comprehensive loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the comprehensive loss was $
Stock-based Compensation
We primarily issue stock-based awards to employees in the form of stock options. We determine compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We recognize compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period.
Research and Development Expenditures
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred, and consist primarily of compensation costs, outside services, and expensed materials.
Advertising Expense
Direct advertising costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of trade shows, sales enablement, content creation, paid engagement and other direct costs. Advertising expense was $
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the assets and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when, based on available objective evidence, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such assets will not be realized. We recognize in the consolidated financial statements only those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, shares subject to repurchase, and warrants. Diluted net loss per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had securities outstanding which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. Those were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share when their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards promulgated by the FASB are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements. The following is a summary of recent accounting developments.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 requires that the if-converted method of computing diluted Earnings per Share. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022.

Valuation Assumptions
The fair value of each stock option award was calculated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

| Expected volatility |

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon published interest rates appropriate for the expected life of our employee stock options.
The expected life of the stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and was determined based on the historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of the Company's stock-based awards.
The dividend yield assumption is based on our history of not paying dividends and no future expectations of dividend payouts.
The expected volatility in 2022 and 2021 is based on the historical publicly traded price of our common stock.

9. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. This hierarchy requires companies to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2022 on a recurring and non-recurring basis:

Overview
Mobivity Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “we”) is in the business of developing and operating proprietary platforms over which brands and enterprises can conduct national and localized data-driven marketing campaigns.
Mobivity’s Recurrency platform enables multi-unit retailers to leverage the power of their own data to yield maximum customer spend, frequency and loyalty while achieving the highest Return on Marketing Spend (ROMS) possible. Mobivity’s customers use Recurrency to:
| ● |
Transform messy point-of-sale (POS) data collected from thousands of points of sale into usable intelligence. |
|
| ● |
Measure, predict, and boost guest frequency and spend by channel. |
|
| ● |
Deploy and manage one-time use offer codes and attribute sales accurately across every channel, promotion, and media program. |
|
| ● |
Deliver 1:1 promotions and offers with customized Mobile Messaging, Personalized Receipt Promotions, and Integrated Loyalty programs. |
Mobivity’s Recurrency, delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform, is used by leading brands including Subway, Sonic Drive-In, Baskin Robbins, Chick-fil-A and Checkers/Rally’s across more than 40,000 retail locations globally.
We’re living in a data-driven economy. By 2003 — when the concept of “Big Data” became common vernacular in marketing - the amount of data being created every two days was equal to the amount created in all of the time prior to 2003. Today, 90% of the world’s data has been created in just the past two years. Unfortunately, despite there being so much data accumulated, only one percent of data is being utilized today by most businesses.
The challenge for multi-unit retailers isn’t that they don’t have enough data; in fact, national retailers are collecting millions of detailed transactions daily from thousands of points of sale around the world. The challenge is being able to make sense of this transaction data, which is riddled with data entry errors, collected by multiple POS systems, and complicated by a taxonomy compiled by thousands of different franchisee owners. To normalize such an overwhelming amount of data into usable intelligence and then leverage it to optimize media investment and promotion strategy requires numerous teams of data analysts and data scientists that many retailers and restaurant operators simply don’t have. This is why so many technology and data companies, that can help solve these challenges, have been invested in and acquired by brands including, McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Yum Brands.
Mobivity’s Recurrency platform fills this need with a self-service SaaS offering, enabling operators to intelligently optimize their promotions, media, and marketing spend. Recurrency drives system-wide sales producing on average a 13% increase in guest spend and a 26% improvement in frequency, ultimately delivering an average Return on Marketing Spend of 10X. In other words, for every dollar invested in marketing, retailers using Recurrency to manage, optimize and deliver multi-channel consumer promotions generate an average of ten dollars in incremental revenue from their customers.
The Recurrency Platform
Mobivity’s Recurrency™ platform unlocks valuable POS and mobile data to help transform customer transactions into actionable and attributable marketing insights. Our technology provides transactional data, in real-time, that uncovers market-basket information and attributes both online and traditional promotions. Recurrency is comprised of seven components, described in detail below.
POS Data Capture
Recurrency captures, normalizes, integrates, and stores transaction data and is compatible with most POS systems used by restaurants and retailers today. The result is a clean useful dataset upon which to predict and influence customers’ buying behavior and deliver basket-level insights.
Analytics Powered by Machine Learning
Recurrency uses Machine Learning (“ML”) to uncover patterns in the buying behaviors of consumers and leverages that data to suggest pricing optimizations, and guide marketing campaigns.
Offers and Promotions
Recurrency provides a digital wallet system for creating and managing dynamic offers and promotions, enabling accurate and complete closed-loop attribution across all channels, media, and marketing efforts. Retailers can deploy one-time, limited-use, and multi-use promotions across all online and offline marketing channels that are scannable at the POS or redeemable online, enabling fraud-free, controllable promotion delivery and attribution at scale. Marketing teams can use the comprehensive attribution analysis and insights to optimize media mix and spend for maximum Return on Marketing Spend (“ROMS”).
Predictive Offers
Recurrency leverages the normalized data captured at the POS and applies Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to build profiles of both known and anonymous customers, analyzes pre and post-redemption behavior, and then predicts offers that will drive the highest increases in customer spend and frequency at the lowest discount possible. The result is optimized, personalized promotions that produce the highest ROMS possible.
Personalized Receipt Promotions
Recurrency unlocks the power of transactional data to create relevant and timely customer messages printed on the receipts already being generated at the POS. Both clients and agencies are using Recurrency to drive better results and make decisions around offers, promotions, and customer engagement through the medium of the printed receipt. Software integrated with leading POS systems, such as Oracle or MICROS, or installed directly onto receipt printer platforms, such as Epson’s OmniLink product, dynamically controls what is printed on receipts including images, coupons, announcements, or other calls-to-action, such as invitations to participate in a survey. Recurrency offers a Web-based interface where users can design receipt content and implement business rules to dictate what receipt content is printed in particular situations. All receipt content is transmitted to cloud-based Recurrency for storage and analysis.
Customized Mobile Messaging
Recurrency transforms standard short message service (“SMS”), multimedia messaging service (“MMS”), and rich communication services (“RCS”) into a data-driven marketing medium. Recurrency tracks and measures offer effectiveness at a more granular level than other solutions, allowing clients to create smarter offers and drive higher redemption rates. Our proprietary platform connects to all wireless carriers so that any consumer, on any wireless service (for example, Verizon), can join our customer’s SMS/MMS mobile marketing campaign. Our customers use Recurrency’s self-service interface to build, segment, target and optimize mobile messaging campaigns to drive increased guest frequency and spend. Recurrency is an industry leader in RCS messaging and has an industry-leading broadcast reach.
Belly Loyalty
Mobivity’s Belly Loyalty solution drives increased customer engagement and frequency with a customer-facing digital rewards platform via an app and digital pad. Using Belly, customers can customize rewards and leverage pre-built email campaigns and triggers to encourage greater frequency as well as to identify and reactivate lapsed customers.
Company Strategy
Our objective is to build an industry-leading SaaS product that connects consumers to merchants and brands. The key elements of our strategy are:
| ● |
Exploit the competitive advantages and operating leverage of our technology platform. The core of our business is our proprietary POS Data Capture technology. Several years of development went into designing POS Data Capture such that the process of intercepting POS data and performing actions, such as controlling the receipt printer with receipt is scalable, portable to a wide variety of POS platforms, and does not impact performance factors including the print speed of a typical receipt printer. Furthermore, we believe the transmission of POS data to Mobivity’s cloud-based data stores presents a very competitive and innovative method of enabling POS data access. Additionally, we believe that our Recurrency platform is more advanced than technologies offered by our competitors and provides us with a significant competitive advantage. With more than ten years of development, we believe that our platform operates SMS/MMS text messaging transactions at a “least cost” relative to competitors while also being capable of supporting the SMS/MMS text messaging transactional volume necessary to serve our goal of several thousand end users. Leveraging our Recurrency platform allows for full attribution of SMS/MMS offers, which we believe is a unique combination of both SMS/MMS text messaging and POS data. |
| ● |
Evolve our sales and customer support infrastructure to uniquely serve very large customer implementations such as franchise-based brands that operate a large number of locations. Over the past few years, we have focused our efforts on the development of our technology and solutions with the goal of selling and supporting small and medium-sized businesses. Going forward, we intend to significantly increase our investments in sales and customer support resources tailored to selling to customers that operate franchise brands. Today we support more than 30,000 merchant locations globally. |
| ● |
Acquire complementary businesses and technologies. We will continue to search and identify unique opportunities which we believe will enhance our product features and functionality, revenue goals, and technology. We intend to target companies with some or all of the following characteristics: (1) an established revenue base; (2) strong pipeline and growth prospects; (3) break-even or positive cash flow; (4) opportunities for substantial expense reductions through integration into our platform; (5) strong sales teams; and (6) technology and services that further build out and differentiate our platform. Our acquisitions have historically been consummated through the issuance of a combination of our common stock and cash. |
| ● |
Build our intellectual property portfolio. We currently have nine issued patents that we believe have significant potential applications in the technology industry. We plan to continue our investment in building a strong intellectual property portfolio. |
While these are the key elements of our current strategy, there can be no guarantees that our strategy will not change or that our strategy will be successful.

The warrants are exercisable for a period commencing upon issuance of the notes and ending 36 months after issuance of the financing. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the lender additional warrants entitling the lender to purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount of the advances made divided by the volume-weighted average price over the 30 trading days preceding the advance (the "VWAP"). Each warrant will be exercisable over a three-year period at an exercise price equal to the VWAP. Under the original terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company was to begin repaying the principal amount, plus accrued interest, in 24 equal monthly installments commencing on June 30, 2022, and ending on June 30, 2024.

This compares to an average rate of $1 Canadian equals $0.79 during the same period in 2021. The Company’s functional or measurement currency is the U.S. Dollar. Based on a U.S. Dollar functional currency, the following are the key areas impacted by foreign currency volatility:
| ● |
The Company sells products primarily in U.S. Dollars; therefore, reported revenues are not highly impacted by foreign currency volatility. |
|
| ● |
A portion of the Company’s expenses are incurred in Canadian Dollars and therefore fluctuate in U.S. Dollars as the U.S. Dollar varies. A weaker U.S. Dollar results in an increase in translated expenses, and a stronger U.S. Dollar results in a decrease. |
|
| ● |
Changes in foreign currency rates also impact the translated value of the Company’s working capital that is held in Canadian Dollars. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations result in foreign exchange gains or losses based upon movement in the translated value of Canadian working capital into U.S. Dollars. |
The change in foreign currency was a loss of $76,228 and a loss of $13,150 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The change in foreign currency was a loss of $76,862 and a loss of $22,391 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

INDEMNIFICATION
Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was an officer or director of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer or director of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as an officer or director shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Nevada General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or director and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided herein with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided however, that, if the Nevada General Corporation Law requires the payment of such expenses incurred by an officer or director in his or her capacity as an officer or director (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while an officer or director, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, payment shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such officer or director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified under the Section or otherwise.
If a claim hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may, at any time thereafter, bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful, in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim.

But if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is, or must be fixed (see Section 2.5 of this Article 2) then notice must be given pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.4, to those persons who are shareholders as of the new record date.
(c) Waiver of Notice A shareholder may waive notice of the meeting (or any notice required by the Act, Articles of Incorporation, or Bylaws), by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, which is delivered to the corporation (either before or after the date and time stated in the notice) for inclusion in the minutes of filing with the corporate records.

Likewise, if the corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to an officer or director, this shall be reported to all the shareholders with or before notice of the next shareholder meeting.
2.5 FIXING OF RECORD DATE
For the purpose of determining shareholders of any voting group entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution or dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date. Such record date shall not be more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive a share dividend or distribution. The record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on:
(a) With respect to an annual shareholder meeting or any special shareholder meeting called by the Board of Directors or any person specifically authorized by the Board of Directors or these Bylaws to call a meeting, the day before the first notice is given to shareholders;
(b) With respect to a special shareholder meeting demanded by the shareholders, the date the first shareholder signs the demand;
(c) With respect to the payment of a share dividend, the date Board of Directors authorizes the share dividend;
(d) With respect to actions taken in writing without a meeting (pursuant to Article 2, Section 2.12, the first date any shareholder signs a consent; and
(e) With respect to a distribution to shareholders, (other than one involving a repurchase or reacquisition of shares), the date the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution.
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made, as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
If no record date has been fixed, the record date shall be the date the written notice of the meeting is given to shareholders.
2.6 SHAREHOLDER LIST
The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the corporation shall, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of shareholders, make a complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The list must be arranged by class or series of shares. The shareholder list must be available for inspection by any shareholder, beginning two business days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting. The list shall be available at the corporation's principal office or at a place in the city where the meeting is to be held, as set forth in the notice of meeting. A shareholder, his agent, or attorney is entitled, on written demand, to inspect and, subject to the requirements of Section 2.14 of this Article 2, to copy the list during regular business hours and at his expense, during the period it is available for inspection. The corporation shall maintain the shareholder list in written form or in another form capable of conversion into written form within a reasonable time.
2.7 SHAREHOLDER QUORUM AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS
A majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
If a quorum exists, a majority vote of those shares present and voting at a duly organized meeting shall suffice to defeat or enact any proposal unless the Statutes of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws require a greater-than-majority vote, in which event the higher vote shall be required for the action to constitute the action of the corporation.
2.8 INCREASING EITHER QUORUM OR VOTING REQUIREMENTS
For purposes of this Section 2.8, a "supermajority" quorum is a requirement that more than a majority of the votes of the voting group be present to constitute a quorum; and a "supermajority" voting requirement is any requirement that requires the vote of more than a majority of the affirmative votes of a voting group at a meeting.
The Shareholders, but only if specifically authorized to do so by the Articles of Incorporation, may adopt, amend, or delete a Bylaw which fixes a "supermajority" quorum or "supermajority" voting requirement.
The adoption or amendment of a Bylaw that adds, changes, or deletes a "supermajority" quorum or voting requirement for shareholders must meet the same quorum requirement and be adopted by the same vote required to take action under the quorum and voting requirement then if effect or proposed to be adopted, whichever is greater.
A Bylaw that fixes a supermajority quorum or voting requirement for shareholders may not be adopted, amended, or repealed by the Board of Directors.
2.9 PROXIES
At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person, or vote by written proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or executed by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation or other person authorized to tabulate votes before or at the time of the meeting. No Proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise specifically provided in the proxy or coupled with an interest.
2.10 VOTING OF SHARES
Unless otherwise provided in the articles, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without the transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without transfer of such shares into his name.
Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the Court by which such receiver was appointed.
A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares are transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter, the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or held by it in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.
Redeemable shares are not entitled to vote after notice of redemption is mailed to the holders and a sum sufficient to redeem the shares has been deposited with a bank, trust company, or other financial institution under an irrevocable obligation to pay the holders the redemption price on surrender of the shares
2.11 CORPORATION'S ACCEPTANCE OF VOTES
(a) If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, is entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder.
(b) If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment does not correspond to the name of its shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, is nevertheless entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if:
(1) the shareholder is an entity, as defined in the Act, and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity;
(2) the name signed purports to be that of an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment;

(4) the name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the corporation of the signatory's authority to sign for the shareholder has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment; or
(5) the shares are held in the name of two or more persons as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all the co-owners.
(c) The corporation is entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment if the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory's authority to sign for the shareholder.
(d) The corporation and its officer or agent who accepts or rejects a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this Section 2.11 are not liable in damages to the shareholder for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection.
(e) Corporation action based on the acceptance or rejection of a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment under this section is valid unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise.
2.12 INFORMAL ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by shareholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, unless a "supermajority" vote is required by these Bylaws, in which case a "supermajority" vote will be required. Such consent shall be delivered to the corporation secretary for inclusion in the minute book. A consent signed under this section has the effect of a vote at a meeting and may be described as such in any document.

For purposes of this Section 3.8, a "supermajority" quorum is a requirement that more than a majority of the directors in office constitute a quorum; and a "supermajority" voting requirement is one which requires the vote of more than a majority of those directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present to be the act of the directors.

if originally adopted by the Board of Directors, either by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors. |
A Bylaw adopted or amended by the shareholders that fixes a supermajority quorum or supermajority voting requirement for the Board of Directors may provide that it ay be amended or repealed only by a specified vote of either the shareholders or the Board of Directors.
Subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, action by the Board of Directors to adopt, amend, or repeal a Bylaw that changes the quorum or voting requirements for the Board of Directors must meet the same quorum requirement and be adopted by the same vote required to take action under the quorum and voting requirement then in effect or proposed to be adopted, whichever is greater.
3.9 DIRECTOR ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING
Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if all the directors sign a written consent describing the action taken. Such consents shall be filed with the records of the corporation. Action taken by consent is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A signed consent has the effect of a vote at a duly noticed and conducted meeting of the Board of Directors and may be described as such in any document.
3.10 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
The shareholders may remove one or more directors at a meeting called for that purpose if notice has been given that a purpose of the meeting is such removal. The removal may be with or without cause unless the Articles of Incorporation provide that directors may only be removed for cause. If cumulative voting is not authorized, a director may be removed only if the number of votes cast in favor of removal exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.
3.11 BOARD OF DIRECTOR VACANCIES
Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, if a vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors, excluding a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, the director(s) remaining in office shall fill the vacancy. If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the Board of Directors, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.
If a vacancy results from an increase in the number of directors, only the shareholders may fill the vacancy.
A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date (by reason of a resignation effective at a later date) may be filled by the Board of Directors before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.
The term of a director elected to fill a vacancy expires at the next shareholders' meeting at which directors are elected. However, if his term expires, he shall continue to serve until his successor is elected and qualifies or until there is a decrease in the number of directors.
