E-DEBIT GLOBAL CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2013 and 2012
(Unaudited)


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from audited financial statements and the accompanying unaudited 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 the interim reporting requirements of Regulation S-X.  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by E-Debit Global Corporation (the “Corporation”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and E-Debit Global Corporation believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2012 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by E-Debit Global Corporation later in the year. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. In management’s opinion all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Corporation’s financial statements are reflected in the interim periods included.

Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. (Corporation) was incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1998 as Newslink Networks TDS, Inc. and changed its name to Westsphere Asset Corporation Inc. on April 29, 1999. On April 2, 2010, the Corporation officially changed its name to E-Debit Global Corporation.

On September 18, 2012, the Corporation amended its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized capital to Ten Billion (10,000,000,000) shares of no par value common stock and Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) of no par value preferred stock.

The Corporation’s primary business is the sale and operation of cash vending (ATM) and point of sale (POS) machines in Canada.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a non-profit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. We do not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. We do not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature or the current rates at which the Corporation could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.  The Corporation does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments.

The FASB ASC clarifies that fair value is 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. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
 
 
Level 2:
 
 
Level 2:
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 4 - Restricted cash

The Corporation relies on a contractual agreement with Moneris Solution Corporation to settle daily ATM vault cash dispensements throughout our ATM Network into our bank account.  The ATM vault cash will be settled to the cash owners within 24 hours turn around.

Note 5 - Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  The nature of the receivables consists of equipment sales, parts and accessories, and service provided.  The Corporation considers accounts more than 180 days old to be past due, since the Corporation can withhold the transactions revenue owed to the customers should their receivables become past due.  The account is deemed uncollectible and written off when the site locations are out of business and or in receivership.  The Corporation uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance.

There are no leased ATMs included in the Corporation’s property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Depreciation and amortization have been provided in amounts sufficient to recover asset costs over their estimated useful lives.  All components of property and equipment are being depreciated or amortized.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 totaled $30,108 and $29,870, respectively.

Note 8 – Deferred Costs/Intangible Assets

On the 9th of November 2007, E-Debit contracted with ACI Worldwide through its wholly owned subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. (WSI) to provide its ACI ‘Base 24 On Demand” (AOD) hosted solution for ATM and POS transaction acquiring where WSI shares responsibilities with ACI as the transaction processor.  ACI hosts the processing environment which is set up to specific requirements as set out by WSI, which supports WSI ATM and POS devices, debit and credit transaction processing and card management requirement that is unique and scalable to WSI’s current and future requirements and not shared with other ACI customers.  ACI supplies software acquisition, operation and maintenance, facilities, operations and environment development and maintenance and disaster recovery infrastructure and services; whereby WSI supports, authorizes and distributes all settlements and revenues distributions through its account maintenance software developed by WSI and specific to ACI On Demand processing platform.

As a result Westsphere Systems Inc. processed all transactions through its association with ACI hosted transaction processing solution eliminating the costs, restrictions, and potential risks of relying on third party processors.  

The Corporation capitalized costs related to development of software totaling $168,690 in 2007.  The Corporation is amortizing these costs over its expected life.  E-Debit officially launched its switch in January 2009 and commenced rollover of ATMs to process all transactions through its association with ACI.  The deferred costs were reclassified as intangible assets upon the completion of all the specific requirements including coding and testing in year 2009.  The Corporation assessed the useful life of the intangible asset in relation to its five-year contract with ACI commencing November 2008.  The Corporation also determined the technology may be outdated at the end of the term of the contract and an enhancement of the software may be required at that time.

Depreciation is calculated using a declining balance method.

Since 2009, Interac, MasterCard and VISA have mandated a hardware and software security upgrade for ATMs, Debit Terminals and the Corporation’s Switch.

Security upgrades are required under Interac, MasterCard, and VISA rules. These upgrades include the requirements to have:
 
(a)  
EMV (Europay, MasterCard, VISA) certified chip card (the replacement technology for the historical magnetic stripe cards)software/readers, and
(b)  
network approved encrypted PIN pad ("EPP") devices, installed on all ATMs and debit terminals:  thereby providing the ability to accept EMV chip card transactions. This has required and will also require further upgrading the Corporation’s Switch to process EMV chip card transactions, and adding additional encryption methods to Corporations managed ATMs and Debit terminals, Triple DES Encryption.

The Corporation’s understanding of the deadlines mandated by Interac and MasterCard for conversion of ATMs and debit terminals (i.e. to read the EMV microchip on a card rather than a magnetic stripe) are as follows:

(a)  
50% of all ATMs must be upgraded with an EMV certified chip pin entry device by December 31, 2011 and 100% of ATMs must be upgraded by December 31, 2012;
(b)  
35% of debit terminals must be upgraded with an EMV certified chip pin entry device by December 31, 2010, 60% must be converted by December 31, 2012, and 100% must be upgraded by December 31, 2015.

VISA's rule changes do not require a switch to the new technology by any particular date. However, both MasterCard and VISA rules provide that after March 31, 2011, certain liabilities (i.e. in respect of transaction errors or frauds) will be reallocated to industry participants who are still accessing the MasterCard and VISA networks using non-upgraded equipment, cards or software.

In addition to the security upgrades to ATM and Debit Terminals, in order to access Interac, cards (i.e. the debit cards issued by financial institutions) must be upgraded (i.e. reissued) to have EMV chips installed: 65% by December 31 2011 and 100% by December 31, 2012.

 
14

 
The result of non-compliance can include penalties, fines, sanctions and contractual penalties by the applicable Network(s) and ultimately disconnection of the ATM and Debit Terminal device or card from the Network for failure to comply by the end dates.  The Corporation will be investing maintenance capital and upgrading its IT department to meet these upgrade deadlines.  The Corporation’s customers who own their own equipment are encouraged to make the necessary changes to their equipment and in some cases the Corporation has the contractual right to make the necessary changes for the customer (and charge the customer for the cost of the change).

Management believes that the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries are in compliance with EMV requirements.

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 Corporation as a going concern.  The Corporation has recurring net losses from operations, and had a working capital deficit and a stockholders’ deficit at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  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 Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management recognizes that the Corporation must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations.  Management intends to raise additional funds through debt financing and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining a prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Corporation will be successful in raising additional capital.  Management’s plans also include restructuring and reorganizing its subsidiaries to save costs.  Furthermore, management is in the process of negotiations with a third party investor to potentially sell part or all of the Corporation’s ATM estate.  In addition, there is no demand for payment on the accounts payable to related parties of $1,577,303 and shareholder loans of $286,372 as these liabilities are owed to internal officers and directors.   Further, even if the Corporation raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Corporation 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 Corporation will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.

Plan of Operations
 
During the three (3) month period of operations ended March 31, 2013, E-Debit and its subsidiaries generated a net loss of $272,103, while a net loss of $308,076 was realized for the same period from the previous year.  The decrease in net loss of $35,973 over the same period from the previous year was mainly caused by a decrease in consulting fees of $8,457, a decrease in legal and accounting fees of $33,439, a decrease in salaries and benefits of $6,766, a decrease in other operating expense of $32,081, and a decrease in interest expense of $10,013.  The decrease in net loss is partially offset against a decrease in gross profit of $58,786 over the same period from the previous year.

The decrease in consulting fees was caused by a decrease adjustment in the monthly consulting fee contract effective May 2012.

The decrease in legal and accounting fees was mainly due to the increased audit work performed in 2012 for year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
The decrease in salaries and benefits was caused by an elimination of two positions during year 2012: a sales consultant and a receptionist.

The decrease in other operating expense was mainly caused by a decrease in bad debt expense of $18,102, a decrease in office supplies of $4,389, and a decrease in telephone expense of $4,719.

The decrease in interest expense was due to a repayment of loans to related parties during year 2012.

The decrease in gross profit of $58,786 was primarily caused by a decrease in residual and interchange income of $321,024.  The decrease is partially offset against a decrease in residual and interchange costs of $241,760 and a decrease in other cost of sales of $23,558.

The decrease in residual and interchange income was mainly caused by the sale of a majority of the Corporation’s ATMs site location contracts to an investor during the year 2012.

At this date, 130 ATMs are being processed by WSI’s switch. The number of ATMs being processed during the year 2013 has been decreased as compared to 545 ATMs processed in the prior year. The decrease is mainly caused by the sale of a majority of the Corporation’s ATMs site location contracts to an investor during the year 2012.

In April 2013, the Corporation is in the process of restructuring and reorganization of its subsidiaries to save costs and ensuring the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

E-Debit and its subsidiaries currently do not generate sufficient revenues to meet overhead needs. This is due to E-Debit switch operations which were launched in January 2009 and commencing rollover of ATMs to process all transactions. The switch operations currently do not generate sufficient revenue to cover its expenses. In addition, E-Debit continues to experience a steady decrease in gross profit mainly due to the sale of the majority of ATMs site location contracts during the year 2012. Management recognizes that the Corporation must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management intends to raise additional funds through debt financing and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining a prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Corporation will be successful in raising additional capital.

The Corporation believes that the Corporations subsidiaries upon restructuring, reorganization and consolidation combined with continued investment from related parties and outside investors will continue to produce sufficient ongoing funding to meet its current and future financial requirements.  The completion of the reorganization and restructuring is expecting to be completed by the second quarter 2013.

In order to meet its growth plan, E-Debit will continue to be dependent on equity funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds. E-Debit believes that it will continue as a going concern with the present revenues from its subsidiaries Westsphere Systems Inc. and Vencash Payment Solutions Inc. and loans advanced by the related parties, but it would be unable to meet its market growth projections without further funding outside of the ongoing revenue from operations of Westsphere Systems Inc. and Vencash Payment Solutions Inc.

Changes in Financial Position

During the three (3) month period ending March 31, 2013, total assets increased from $636,246 to $1,173,160.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in restricted cash of $611,476.

The increase in restricted cash was mainly caused by the surcharge and interchange settlement owed to customers as of March 31, 2013.  These surcharge and interchange settlements were returned to the customers on April 1, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, E-Debit’s current liabilities consisted of accounts payable of $1,110,804, accrued liabilities of $97,695, loans payable of $284,554, indebtedness to related parties of $1,577,303, and shareholder loans of $286,372.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities include a payable of $28,659 for the return of surcharge and interchange; the return of switch vault cash of $805,056; legal and accounting fees of $57,648; switch and hosting fees of $167,360; contingent expense of $31,118; accrued vacation payable of $8,614; investors deposits of $8,912; and $101,132 due for consulting services, office expenses and various other general fees and charges.

In September 2007, Vencash entered into a loan agreement with an initial term of twelve months totaling $98,322 ($100,000 CDN) with an external arms-length investor, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with blended monthly payments of interest only of $983 ($1,000 CDN).  The initial term may be automatically extended for further six (6) month terms (a “renewal period”) after the end of the initial term or terminated subject to mutual termination agreements.  The investor must give a written notice not less than 90 days before the end of the initial term or renewal period, whichever the case may be, to not renew the loan agreement.  Vencash must notify the investor not less than 60 days before the end of the initial term or renewal period, its intention to terminate the loan.  Currently, no written notice has been received from the investor to Vencash or vice versa.  The purpose of the loan is to supply vault cash to Vencash’s customer-owned ATM equipment and site locations.  Vencash supplies vault cash to these site locations because its customers do not have sufficient vault cash for these site locations.

The loan amount has been forwarded to an armored car company that supplies vault cash to these site locations.  The armored car company is accountable for the rotation of the cash and has signed a note receivable for the amount.

As of March 31, 2013, the balance is $98,322 ($100,000 CDN).  This loan is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as Loans payable.

In November 2007, Westsphere’s subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. (WSI) raised $127,104 ($131,000 CDN) through a loan agreement with an initial term of twenty-four months with an external arms-length investor, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with blended monthly payments of interest only of $1,288 ($1,310 CDN). The initial term may be automatically extended for further twelve month terms (a “renewal period”) after the end of the initial term or terminated subject to mutual termination agreements.  The investor must give a written notice not less than 90 days before the end of the initial term or renewal period, whichever the case may be, to not renew the loan agreement.  Vencash must notify the investor not less than 30 days before the end of the initial term or renewal period, its intention to terminate the loan.  Currently, no written notice has been received from the investor to WSI or vice versa.  The purpose of the loan was to fund the switch development project.  In February 2010, the loan was reduced by $62,212 ($65,000 CDN) in exchange for 622,123 common shares at $0.10 per share.  In May 2012, the loan was reduced by $981 ($998 CDN) in offsetting against the expenses.  In September 2012, the loan was reduced by $59 ($60 CDN) in offsetting against the expenses.  In December 2012, WSI recorded an accrued interest of $4,471 ($4,547 CDN).   In March 2013, WSI recorded an accrued interest of $1,914 ($1,947 CDN).  As of March 31, 2013, the balance is $70,237 ($71,436 CDN).  This loan is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as loans payable.

On December 20, 2011 the Corporation and its subsidiaries jointly and severally entered into a Demand Loan Agreement and related GSA with an investor for a loan of $196,643 ($200,000 CDN) at a prime lending rate of Canadian Prime plus four (4%) percent.  Under the GSA, this debt is collateralized by all of the Corporation’s assets.  Upon demand the Corporation has forty-five (45) days to repay the Demand Loan and interest.  On October 24, 2012, the loan was repaid by $105,588 ($107,390 CDN).  On December 5, 2012, the loan was repaid by $75,218 ($76,503 CDN).  As of March 31, 2013, the balance is $15,837 ($16,107 CDN).  This loan is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as Loans payable.

On August 15, 2012 the Corporation and its subsidiaries jointly and severally entered into a Demand Loan Agreement and related GSA with an arms-length third party investor for a loan of $98,322 ($100,000 CDN) at a prime lending rate of Canadian Prime plus four (4%) percent.  Under the GSA, this debt is collateralized by all of the Corporation’s assets.  Upon demand the Corporation has forty-five (45) days to repay the Demand Loan and interest.  In March 2013, E-Debit recorded an accrued interest of $1,836 ($1,868 CDN).  As of March 31, 2013, the balance is $100,158 ($101,868 CDN).  This loan is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as Loans payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary of Working Capital and Stockholders' Equity

As of March 31, 2013, the Corporation had a working capital deficit of $2,421,598 and Stockholders' Deficit of $2,183,568 compared with a working capital deficit of $2,225,293 and Stockholders' Deficit of $1,956,157 as of December 31, 2012.  The Corporation’s working capital deficit has increased principally as a result of an increase in accounts payable of $713,816 and an increase in indebtedness to related parties of $59,702.  The increase in working capital deficit is partially offset against the increase in restricted cash of $611,476.

The increase in indebtedness to related parties was from E-Debit’s directors and officers advances of working capital to support E-Debit operations.

Stockholders' Deficit increased as a result of a net loss of $272,103 for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2013.  The increase is partially offset against an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $44,692.

The Corporation’s consolidated operations during the three (3) month period resulted in the use of net cash of $144,380, compared to the use of net cash in the amount of $301,729 during the same period from the previous year. The decrease in the use of net cash flow from operations was primarily the result of the decrease in net loss from operation of $35,973 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $471,422.  The increase in the use of net cash flow from operations is partially offset against an increase in restricted cash of $360,841.

Investing activities during the three (3) month period resulted in the use of net cash of $6,859 which was primarily caused by the purchase of equipment to support the switch operations.

Financing activities during the three (3) month period resulted in the provision of net cash of $92,722 which was primarily caused by the proceeds from loans of $82,761, the cash advances from directors and officers to support the switch operations and general and administrative costs of $39,384.  The provision of net cash is partially offset against a repayment of loans to directors and officers of $29,423.

Liquidity

E-Debit and its subsidiaries currently do not generate sufficient revenues to meet overhead needs.  This is due to E-Debit switch operations which was launched in January 2009 and commencing rollover of ATMs to process all transactions.  The switch operations currently do not generate sufficient revenue to cover its expenses.  The shortages of funds, recurring losses, and stockholders’ deficit raise substantial doubt as to the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

E-Debit expects that its need for liquidity will increase in 2013 in anticipation of expending funds to meet the security upgrade plan.  The security upgrades are required under Interac, MasterCard, and VISA rules. These upgrades include the requirements to have:
 
 
(a)  
EMV (Europay, MasterCard, VISA) certified chip card (the replacement technology for the historical magnetic stripe cards) software/readers, and
(b)  
network approved encrypted PIN pad ("EPP") devices, installed on all ATMs and debit terminals thereby providing the ability to accept EMV chip card transactions. This has required and will also require further upgrading the Corporation’s Switch to process EMV chip card transactions, and adding additional encryption methods to Corporations managed ATMs and Debit terminals, Triple DES Encryption.

The result of non-compliance can include penalties, fines, sanctions and contractual penalties by the applicable Network(s) and ultimately disconnection of the ATM and Debit Terminal device or card from the Network for failure to comply by the end dates.  This has resulted in a requirement to find additional financial recourses to meet the upgrade requirements as set forth in regards to meet ongoing regulatory compliance.

Management recognizes that the Corporation must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations.  Management intends to raise additional funds through debt financing and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining a prolonged growth in its strategy phases. Furthermore, the management is in the process of negotiations with the third party investor potentially purchasing part or all of the Corporation’s ATM estate.  In addition, there is no demand for payment on the accounts payable to related parties of $1,577,303 and shareholder loans of $286,372 as these liabilities are owed to internal officers and directors.

In order to meet its growth plan, E-Debit will continue to be dependent on equity funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds. E-Debit believes that it will continue as a going concern with the present revenues from its subsidiary Vencash Payment Solutions Inc and Westsphere Systems Inc., but it would be unable to meet its market growth projections without further funding outside of the ongoing revenue from operations of Vencash Payment Solutions Inc. and Westsphere Systems Inc.  However, no assurance can be given that the Corporation will be successful in raising additional capital.  Further, even if the Corporation raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Corporation 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 Corporation will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.

Capital Resources

The primary capital resources of E-Debit are its consolidated business operations as well as equity funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
