E-DEBIT GLOBAL CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2012 and 2011
(Unaudited)


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 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 consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by E-Debit Global Corporation (the “Company”) 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, 2011 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 Company’s financial statements are reflected in the interim periods included.

Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. (Company) 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 Company officially changed its name to E-Debit Global Corporation.

On October 26, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized capital to Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares of no par value common stock and Seventy Five Million (75,000,000) of no par value preferred stock.

The Company’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

Effective January 1, 2012, we retrospectively adopted new guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board by presenting a total for comprehensive income and the components of net income and other comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of this guidance resulted only in a change in how we present other comprehensive income in our consolidated financial statements and did not have any impact on our results of operations, financial position, 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 - Restricted cash

The Company 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 4 - Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers.  The nature of the receivables consists of equipment sales, parts and accessories, and service provided.  The Company considers accounts more than 180 days old to be past due, since the Company 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 Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance.

Note 7 – 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.  Most importantly, the investment in the WSI role within the processing environment, or switch, will also enable E-Debit’s direct entry into new and emerging markets such as card management and processing.

The Company determined that it would be more appropriate to capitalize the development costs instead of expensing them as incurred.  The Company’s decision was based on the criteria that ACI has established the technological feasibility for the software to provide a solution for ATM and POS transaction acquiring which is called ACI ‘Base 24 On Demand’ (AOD) and where all research and development activities for the other components of the product or process have been completed by them.  E-Debit was working with ACI to setup specific requirements as set out by WSI which will supports WSI ATM and POS devices, debit and credit transactions processing and card management requirement that is unique and scalable to WSI’s current and future requirements and not shared with other ACI customers.
 
The development costs commenced in 2007 and were capitalized as deferred costs.  The Company 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 Company assessed the useful life of the intangible asset in relation to its five-year contract with ACI.  The Company 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.

Note 8– Loans Payable

In September 2007, Vencash entered into a loan agreement with an initial term of twelve months totaling $100,185 ($100,000 CDN) with an external arms-length investor, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with blended monthly payments of interest only of $998 ($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, 2012, the balance is $100,185 ($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 $128,335 ($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 $1,307 ($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.  As of March 31, 2012, the balance is $66,123 ($66,000 CDN).  This loan is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as loans payable.

On December 20, 2011 the Company 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 $200,371 ($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 Company’s assets.  Upon demand the company has forty-five (45) days to repay the Demand Loan and interest.  As of March 31, 2012, the balance is $204,242 ($203,864 CDN).  This loan is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as Loans payable.

On April 7, 2004, the Company sued Fred and Linda Sebastian to recover an outstanding loan of $80,000 (CDN) plus interest and court costs. The Company has reserved this amount due to the uncertainty of recovery. The defendant has withdrawn the counterclaim.  As of March 2008, no further actions were filed by either party.

On May 28, 2004 Peter Gregory filed an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Vencash Capital Corporation.  Peter Gregory was a former Vencash distributor and agent who filed the action related to a claim of wrongful dismissal from Vencash of $260,000 (CDN).  On July 30, 2004 Vencash filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim in the amount of $1,600,000 for breach of contract, breach of confidence, breach of fiduciary duties, interference with economic relations, damages for inducing breach of contract, and punitive damages. The Company believes the claim by Gregory to be without merit.  In January 2012, the Company received a copy of notice of garnishment from our bank institution against Vencash’s bank account for the total amount not to exceed $31,649 CDN.  The Company did not receive the notification for the judgement and is presently seeking legal advice.  This notice was rescinded by the bank upon delivery.  The company is currently reviewing the related correspondence and in consultation with legal counsel upon completion of the review will respond to any further action initiated by Gregory in this regard.

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.

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).

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are in compliance with EMV requirements.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

On April 30, 2012 the Company concluded the sales of a portion of the Company’s eastern Canada ATMs estate to an arms-length investor for a total of $270,471 ($266,000 CDN).  As a result, the General Security Agreement (GSA) for the current debts owed to related parties and shareholders dated December 2011 was cancelled in order that this sales transaction could be filed in priority to other loans advance to the Company by related parties.

Management is in the process of negotiations with other third parties for the purchase and sale of other geographically located ATMs throughout Canada.  The Company expects such transactions to be completed by the end of the third quarter 2012.

Note 13 – 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 recurring net losses from operations, and had a working capital deficit and a stockholders’ deficit at March 31, 2012 and 2011.  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 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 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 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 Company will be successful in raising additional capital.  Furthermore, management is in the process of negotiations with a third party investor to potentially purchase part or all of the Company’s ATM estate.  In addition, there is no demand for payment on the accounts payable to related parties of $1,438,808 and shareholder loans of $291,800 as these liabilities are owed to internal officers and directors.   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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION 


Current Corporate Structure – March 31, 2012


Plan of Operations
 
During the three (3) month period of operations ended March 31, 2012, E-Debit and its subsidiaries generated a net loss from operations of $308,076, while a net loss from operations of $229,051 was realized for the same period from the previous year.  The increase in net loss of $79,025 over the same period from the previous year was mainly caused by a decrease in gross profit of $81,925, an increase in legal and accounting fees of $25,103, and an increase in interest expense of $16,125.  The increase in net loss is partially offset against a decrease in salaries and benefits of $30,439 and a decrease in other operating expenses of $18,631 over the same period from the previous year.
 
The decrease in gross profit of $81,925 was primarily caused by a decrease in residual and interchange income of $207,357 and an increase in other cost of sales of $32,725.  The decrease is partially offset against a decrease in residual and interchange costs of $158,571.
 
The decrease in residual and interchange income was caused by a decrease in processing of ABM transactions over the same period from the previous year.
 
The increase in other cost of sales was mainly caused by an increase in the installation and maintenance expense of $13,872 and an increase in the telephone expense of $24,394.
 
 
20
 
 

 

 
The increase in legal and accounting fees were mainly due to the Company recording the audit fees for the year ended December 31, 2011 in the first quarter of 2012 where the audit fees for the year ended December 31, 2010 was recorded in the second quarter of 2011.
 
The increase in interest expense was due to interest charges for the cash advanced by related parties during the year.
 
In December 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries jointly and severally signed the General Security Agreement (GSA) for the current debts owed to related parties and shareholders.  The Company has requested that the related parties and shareholders individually or collectively advance loans up to one million seven hundred and fifty thousand ($1,750,000) dollars in Canadian Funds to the Company.  The terms of loans are “On Demand” with initial thirty-six months (36) terms which can be renewed from the date initial funds were advanced.  The interest rate is Eight (8%) percent annually calculated and paid quarterly.  Under the GSA, these debts are collateralized by the Company’s Accounts Receivables, Inventory, Equipment, Intangibles, Leasehold, Real and Immovable Property, and Proceeds.
 
The decrease in salaries and benefits was caused by an elimination of four positions during year 2011: An account manager, a programmer, a sales consultant, and a junior accountant.
 
The decrease in other operating expenses was mainly related to a decrease in advertising of $12,676, a decrease in telephone of $12,761.  The decrease is partially offset against an increase in office supplies of $9,070.
 
At this date, 545 ATM are being processed between three switches. There was no change in operations during the year 2012 as compared to prior year.
 
On April 30, 2012 the Company concluded the sales of a portion of the Company’s eastern Canada ATMs estate to an arms-length investor for a total of $270,471 ($266,000 CDN).  The Company is expecting total revenue to be decreased by approximately $87,300 for the portion of ATMs sold in the year 2012 as this was reported in the year 2011.  As a result, the General Security Agreement (GSA) for the current debts owed to related parties and shareholders dated December 2011 was cancelled in order for this sales transaction could be filed in priority to other loans advance to the Company by related parties.
 
E-Debit is in the process of negotiations with other third parties for the purchase and sale of other geographically located ATMs throughout Canada.  The Company expects such transactions to be completed by the end of the third quarter 2012.
 
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.  Management recognizes that the Company 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 Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
 
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, 2012, total assets increased from $1,602,685 to $1,847,127.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in restricted cash of $254,730.
 
The increase in restricted cash was mainly caused by the surcharge and interchange settlement owed to customers as of March 31, 2012.  These surcharge and interchange settlements were returned to the customers on April 2, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, E-Debit’s current liabilities consisted of accounts payable of $1,216,206, accrued liabilities of $195,769, loans payable of $370,550, indebtedness to related parties of $1,438,808, and shareholder loans of $291,800.
 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities include a payable of $105,880 for the return of surcharge and interchange; the return of switch vault cash of $855,219; legal and accounting fees of $91,475; switch and hosting fees of $129,102; contingent expense of $31,708; accrued vacation payable of $10,153; investors deposits of $18,493; and $169,945 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 $100,185 ($100,000 CDN) with an external arms-length investor, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with blended monthly payments of interest only of $998 ($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, 2012, the balance is $100,185 ($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 $128,335 ($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 $1,307 ($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.  As of March 31, 2012, the balance is $66,123 ($66,000 CDN).  This loan is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as loans payable.
 
On December 20, 2011 the Company 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 $200,371 ($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 Company’s assets.  Upon demand the company has forty-five (45) days to repay the Demand Loan and interest.  
 
As of March 31, 2012, the balance is $204,242 ($203,864 CDN).  This loan is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as Loans payable.
As of March 31, 2012, the balance is $204,242 ($203,864 CDN).  This loan is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as Loans payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary of Working Capital and Stockholders' Equity

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,499,701 and Stockholders' Deficit of $1,666,006 compared with a working capital deficit of $2,163,452 and Stockholders' Deficit of $1,330,637 as of December 31, 2011.  The Company’s working capital deficit has increased principally as a result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $215,656 and indebtedness to related parties of $282,010.  The increase in working capital deficit is partially offset against the increase in restricted cash of $254,730.

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 for the three (3) months ended March 31, 2012 of $308,076 and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $27,293.

The Company’s consolidated operations during the three (3) month period resulted in the use of net cash of $19,719, compared to the use of net cash in the amount of $141,612 during the same period from the previous year. The decrease in the use of net cash flow from operations was primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable to related parties of $216,712 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $258,795.  The decrease in the use of net cash flow from operations is partially offset against an increase in the net loss from operation of $79,025 and a decrease in restricted cash of $268,921.

There were no investing activities during the three (3) month period ended March 31, 2012.

Financing activities during the three (3) month period resulted in the provision of net cash of $51,395, which was primarily caused by the cash advances from directors and officers to support the switch operations and general and administrative costs, offset by a repayment of loans to directors and officers of $38,772.

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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

E-Debit expects that its need for liquidity will increase in 2012 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.
 
24
 
 

 
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 Company 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 Company’s ATM estate.  In addition, there is no demand for payment on the accounts payable to related parties of $1,438,808 and shareholder loans of $291,800 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 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.
 
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 Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
