The Company generally earns&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;revenue through the online sale of service minutes. These purchases obligate the&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;Company to arrange a telephonic&amp;nbsp; conversation with a designated service provider&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;of the&amp;nbsp; customers&amp;nbsp; choosing.&amp;nbsp; The&amp;nbsp; Company&amp;nbsp; remits a&amp;nbsp; portion&amp;nbsp; of the fee to the&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;service&amp;nbsp; provider&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp; retains&amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; balance.&amp;nbsp; At the time of sale,&amp;nbsp; the formal&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;arrangements are made and the Company has fulfilled its obligation. Furthermore,&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;the&amp;nbsp; Company's&amp;nbsp; portions of any fees&amp;nbsp; collected are&amp;nbsp; non-refundable.&amp;nbsp; Revenue is&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;generally&amp;nbsp; realized or realizable and earned when all of the following&amp;nbsp; criteria&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists between the Company and&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;our customer(s); 2) services have been rendered; 3) our price to our customer is&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. For the nine&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized revenues of $987 and&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;$-0- for which each of the four aforementioned criteria were satisfied.&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;PER SHARE DATA&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;In&amp;nbsp; accordance&amp;nbsp; with "ASC 260 - Earnings&amp;nbsp; per Share",&amp;nbsp; the basic loss per common&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;share is computed by dividing net loss available to common&amp;nbsp; stockholders&amp;nbsp; by the&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;weighted&amp;nbsp; average number of common shares&amp;nbsp; outstanding.&amp;nbsp; Diluted loss per common&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;share is&amp;nbsp; computed&amp;nbsp; similar&amp;nbsp; to basic&amp;nbsp; loss per&amp;nbsp; common&amp;nbsp; share&amp;nbsp; except&amp;nbsp; that the&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;denominator is increased to include the number of additional&amp;nbsp; common shares that&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;would have been&amp;nbsp; outstanding if the potential&amp;nbsp; common shares had been issued and&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;if the additional&amp;nbsp; common shares were&amp;nbsp; dilutive.&amp;nbsp; At June 30, 2013 and September&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;30,&amp;nbsp; 2012,&amp;nbsp; the Company had no stock&amp;nbsp; equivalents&amp;nbsp; that were&amp;nbsp; anti-dilutive&amp;nbsp; and&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;excluded in the loss per share computation.&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;The Company records stock based&amp;nbsp; compensation in accordance with the guidance in&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;ASC Topic 718 which&amp;nbsp; requires the Company to recognize&amp;nbsp; expenses&amp;nbsp; related to the&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;fair value of its employee stock option awards.&amp;nbsp; This eliminates&amp;nbsp; accounting for&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;share-based&amp;nbsp; compensation&amp;nbsp; transactions&amp;nbsp; using the intrinsic&amp;nbsp; value and requires&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;Accordingly, the Company recognized expenses of $39,798 and $-0- during the nine&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Note 4).&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;The Company&amp;nbsp; capitalizes&amp;nbsp; its costs to develop its website and when&amp;nbsp; preliminary&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;development&amp;nbsp; efforts are successfully&amp;nbsp; completed,&amp;nbsp; management has authorized and&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;and the&amp;nbsp;

which&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;approximates&amp;nbsp; three&amp;nbsp; years.&amp;nbsp; Costs&amp;nbsp; incurred&amp;nbsp; prior to meeting&amp;nbsp; these&amp;nbsp; criteria,&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;together&amp;nbsp;

during the nine&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012,&amp;nbsp; respectively.&amp;nbsp; The&amp;nbsp; Company's&amp;nbsp; capitalized&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;website&amp;nbsp; amortization&amp;nbsp;

and totaled $16,133 and $975&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;for the nine months ended June, 2013 and 2012, respectively.&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;ADVERTISING COSTS&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;Advertising&amp;nbsp; costs are to be&amp;nbsp;
