General Description and Development of Business
 
Unless otherwise noted, all dollar references are in U.S. Dollars.
 
On July 21, 1998, Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc., a Colorado corporation, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, under the name of Newslink Networks TDS, Inc. On April 23, 1999, the Corporation changed its name to “Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.”  Westsphere Asset Corporation is referred to herein as “Westsphere”, “the Corporation” “we” and “our”.

Since 2000, the Corporation has focused its business development on the “non-conventional financial services industry” and has sought opportunities available to it through acquisitions of equity positions within operating corporations or the establishment of wholly owned subsidiary companies that could assist in the asset growth of the Corporation.

“Non-Conventional Financial Services Business” is described as business related activities which would be normally associated in Canada with a registered chartered bank or bank affiliated financial institution but is privately owned and operated and not affiliated with a Canadian Chartered Bank.  The Corporation provides automated consumer financial services through its Canadian national network of automated teller machines (“ATMs”).

Westsphere has no ongoing business operations other than acting as a holding corporation.

On April 2, 2010, the Corporation changed its name to “E-Debit Global Corporation.”  E-Debit Global Corporation is referred to herein as “E-Debit”, “the Corporation”, “the Company”, “we” and “our”.

General Description and Development of Subsidiary Corporation Business
 
Vencash Capital Corporation - Vencash Financial Corporation
 
Vencash Capital Corporation (“Vencash Capital”) was incorporated in the province of Alberta, Canada on October 2, 1996.  In July 1998, Vencash Capital Corporation entered into the “non-conventional banking industry” otherwise known in the industry as the “white label” Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) marketplace. Vencash Capital became the seventh (7th) Canadian “channel” authorized to participate within the Canadian INTERAC system.
 
The “white label” ATM marketplace as used herein means the privately owned and operated ATMs that dispense cash for a fee, which are unaffiliated by ownership or operation to Canadian Registered Chartered Banks.  A “channel” as used herein means a provider of audit control which channels the fee revenues generated through customer usage of the ATM equipment to settlement accounts of contracted site holders and equipment suppliers.
 
Vencash Capital maintains offices at #12 3620 29th Street NE, Calgary, Alberta T1Y 5Z8. Vencash Capital had sites located nationally across Canada most notably in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Maritimes.  A “site” is described as used herein means a location where an ATM has been placed, and has contracted with Vencash Capital to provide monitoring, reporting and distribution of financial surcharge transaction revenues.
 
On January 7, 2009 the Board of Directors after reviewing the Corporations business operations at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on December 6, 2008 approved the consolidation of Vencash’s processing and business operations with the assignment of ATM related processing agreements and ATM assets under a purchase and sale agreement to be offset against receivables and payables to the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc.
 
While the business operations of Vencash Capital were wound down during the consolidation and integration of the ATM operations on May 1, 2009, into Westsphere Systems Inc., Vencash Capital’s corporate entity was maintained in order to secure and protect the “Vencash” brand name.  This includes the maintenance of Vencash Capital’s wholly owned subsidiary, Vencash Financial Corporation ("Vencash Financial"), as a federal corporation under the laws of Canada, in order to secure and protect the "Vencash" name in all Provincial jurisdictions in Canada.  Vencash Financial conducts no actual business activities.

Westsphere Systems Inc.
 
On May 16, 2000, Westsphere Systems Inc. (“Westsphere Systems”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta. In January 2002, Westsphere Systems began business in the area of hosting web-sites, leasing server space and network services.
 
On January 7, 2009 the Board of Directors after reviewing the Corporations business operations at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on December 6, 2008 approved the sale and transfer of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of E-Debit International to the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. also at this time the Board approved the consolidation of its wholly owned subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation’s processing and business operations with the assignment of ATM related processing agreements and ATM assets under a purchase and sale agreement to be offset against receivables and payables to Westsphere System.
 
As a result of the changes to the Interac Network EMV chip card requirements and to meet the financial requirements resulting from these changes the Company on December 1, 2011 completed the move of its ATM assets including ATM equipment and related Site Location and Placement Agreements into E-Debit Global Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary VenCash Payment Solutions Inc., which segregated the Company’s Canadian national network of automated teller machines (“ATMs”) and our technical and transaction processing operations platforms (the “Switch”) which remained within Westsphere Systems Inc.

E-Debit International anticipates becoming a provider of pre-paid debit cards. In connection with the purchase, we also acquired an option to purchase the balance of Mr. Rivera’s remaining sixty-five percent (65%) ownership in E-Debit International.
 
On March 13, 2001, we acquired an additional twenty-five percent (25%) interest in E-Debit International for $9,737 ($15,100 CDN) from another non-affiliated third party, Dev Studios Inc.

On December 1, 2011 the Corporation completed the move of its ATM assets including ATM equipment and related Site Location and Placement Agreements into E-Debit Global Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary VenCash Payment Solutions Inc., which segregated the Company’s Canadian national network of automated teller machines (“ATMs”) and our technical and operations platforms (the “Switch”) transaction processing operations.

Westsphere Systems currently provides transaction processing to the majority of our ATM estate through its participation within the Canadian INTERAC Association.  Westsphere System received approval in March 2007 by INTERAC Association, as an acquirer in the Association’s SCD Service and as an acquirer in the Association’s IDP Service. This allowed Westsphere Systems to become an indirect connector, thereby resulting in it owning and managing a switch. Westsphere Systems has been working with ACI on Demand in the switch development.   During the month of November 2008 the Corporation commenced the transfer of its previously contracted switch to Westsphere Systems.

ATM Business in Canada
 
Background of the ATM Business
 
Historically, the predominant Canadian ATM banking network is the Interac network and was the organization primarily responsible for the early development and operation of a Canadian national network of two shared electronic financial services ATM and Debit transactions.  Prior to 1997 The Interac Network was operated as a non-profit organization which under regulatory guidelines sets its fees on a cost recovery basis, and was only a closed network jointly operated by Canada's largest financial institution and the only devices that were allowed to be connected to Interac were devices owned/operated by member financial institutions.

However, in June 1996, the Canadian Competition Tribunal issued a consent order negotiated between a number of the Interac Association's members and the Competition Bureau.  As a result the Canadian Banking and Financial initiated this government deregulation program which under deregulation of the Canada Bank Act, allowed for the release of certain segments of proprietary control involving banking institutions.  One of the preliminary results of the deregulation was the allowance of the private operation of ATMs not associated with Canadian Banking financial institutions.

Designed to increase competition in the Canadian financial market for electronic payment services, the Consent Order resulted in Interac allowing nonfinancial organizations to participate as members of Interac, and permitted surcharging at ATMs and Debit Terminals in Canada.  Surcharging allows the owner of an ATM and/or Debit Terminal to charge a Surcharge Fee on each Interac transaction performed at an ATM and/or Debit Terminal. This private ownership and operation of ATM equipment has been described within the industry as the "white label ATM" market.
 
Canadian Banking Institutions had been participating in the development of new technology, particularly in regard to online computer banking.  Advances originating from the introduction of credit card and debit card services evolved into the installation of commercial point of sale management systems across the country and the development of the Canadian INTERAC system which provided complete online banking services and 24-hour customer banking between the various existing banking institutions. It also provided for full-bank service availability from remote site locations throughout Canada.
 
Evolving online financial technology being pursued by the institutional banking financial sectors has been confronted by growth of computer-based commerce. The Internet and the expansion of computer generated online commerce shifted a significant amount of consumer financial services from conventional banking and financial institutions to non-traditional and new and innovative virtual-based methods of conducting financial transactions. INTERAC connection of the conventional banking institutions is a significant factor for profits produced by Canadian conventional banking and financial institutions.
 
The Company as well as many other Canadian companies pursued participation in the field of marketing, distribution, selling, and leasing cash dispensing equipment recognized in the market place as ATMs, "ABMs" (automated banking machines), "white label machines" (a privately owned and operated cash dispensing machine).
 
Currently Canadian ATM and Debit transactions are facilitated through various Networks like Interac, VISA, MasterCard, Cirrus, Plus, etc. The two main parts of these networks are "issuers" and "acquirers". The following is a brief description of the Network functions:

Networks:  Networks have rules and regulations that members of the Network must comply with. These rules typically govern operations, security, limits, etc.
 

4
 
 

 
Acquirers:  Acquirers control the individual devices connected to a Network. Examples of these devices are ATMs and Debit Terminals. Acquirers receive transactions from devices and then route these transactions through the Network to the card issuers for approval. Acquirers settle (i.e. receive or distribute funds) cash amounts withdrawn from ATMs and purchase amounts made with Debit Terminals (based upon what has been approved by the card issuers) to the applicable merchants, debit terminal owners and ATM owners.

Card Issuers:  Card Issuers are typically financial institutions that provide their customers (also known as "account holders") with cards that have access to Networks. Card issuers receive transactions from acquirers and authorize these transactions based upon the card issuers' customer/account holders' account balances and also validate the customer's/account holder's PIN as required.
When transactions are completed the card issuers pay the applicable Networks (which funds are routed to the applicable acquirer) for amounts purchased or withdrawn plus any fees on a daily basis.

Switch:   A "switch" as used herein means a computer system that receives requests for financial transactions from ATM terminals, POS or electronic transfer terminals in retail businesses which routes transaction requests to and from ATM devices and financial institutions for final transaction processing and/or authorization. In Canada, the Canadian INTERAC network coordinates this activity. Under recent deregulation, non-financial institutions that are members of INTERAC are allowed to be indirect connectors. These non-financial institutions provide switching services for shared cash dispensing, data processing, and other associated services in connection with the network. Pursuant to the rules and regulations set out by INTERAC and current switch technology, a switch can process up to ten thousand (10,000) transactions at any given time.

Currently the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. (“WSI”) acts as an "acquirer" for Terminals that the Company owns (through arrangements called "ATM Placements" or "Debit Placements") and for Terminals that are owned by third parties (through arrangements called "ATM Processing" or "Debit Processing").

A transaction at an ATM or Debit Terminal in the Company’s network, commences when a consumer holding a card issued by an Network member decides to withdraw cash or make a purchase using a Debit Card or Credit Card.  WSI has access to various Networks (including Interac, MasterCard and VISA) through agreements WSI  has with the Networks or Network members that are authorized to enter into sponsorship arrangements for the Network. In the case of a cash withdrawal at an ATM, the cardholder inserts his or her card into the machine, enters his or her PIN and requests a sum of money.

In the case of a Debit or Point of Sale (POS) Terminal purchase the process is the same, except that instead of dispensing cash the Debit Terminal sends the merchant an approval notice and the merchant provides the goods or services that the cardholder has requested. The Acquirer (in this case WSI) sends this request through to the Acquirer's connection service provider (the “Switch”) which in turn sends the request electronically through the applicable Network to the cardholder's financial institution (the "Issuer") which verifies the cardholder's PIN and determines if sufficient funds (or credit) are available to fulfill the request. The Issuer then provides an approval response back through the applicable Network to the Acquirer, and then the Acquirer electronically causes the ATM to dispense the funds accordingly. All of this occurs in a matter of seconds. At the end of each business day, through a process referred to as "settlement" the Issuer deposits funds which are routed to the Acquirer's settlement agent (and then on to the Acquirer to reimburse for the cash dispensed from ATMs and goods/services paid for through the Debit Terminal).
 
The Corporation’s ATM business
 
In late 1997, "non-conventional banking" participation and private ownership of ATMs was authorized allowing for participation within the "Canadian INTERAC system". The "Canadian Interac Association" as used herein is a national organization linking enterprises that have proprietary networks to enable them to communicate with each other for purposes of exchanging electronic financial transactions. Five (5) Canadian Banking and Financial Institutions founded the association in 1984. As of March 2012, there were fifty-three (53) member organizations. INTERAC is the organization responsible for the development of a national network of shared electronic financial services: INTERAC Shared Cash Dispensing Service (“SCD”) at ATMs and INTERAC Direct Payment Services (“IDP”), Canada's national debit service. IDP is Canada's national debit card service, available at more than 630,000 IDP terminals and 600,000+ ATMs across the country.
 
As a result of a review and investigation of opportunities developing from the 1997 government deregulation of the Canadian Banking and Financial sectors which allowed for the private operation of ATMs not associated with Canadian Banking financial institutions, the Corporation entered the "white label" ATM marketplace through its subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation (“Vencash”). Vencash became the 7th Canadian Channel authorized to participate within the "white label" ATM business in Canada.
 
Currently the Corporation through its subsidiary holdings is a fully integrated ATM provider, and offers a complete suite of ATM management services from ATM deployment and maintenance to transaction processing, reporting and settlement. Since inception, our ATM business grew significantly peaking in 2009 with approximately 1,000 within its ATM network.  Over the past two years and with the transition over to the EMV Network Standards of Interac, the Company has reduced its network size to approximately 600 ATMs in operation as at March 22, 2011.  At present, we operate a national branded network of non-financial institution ATMs throughout Canada.  We earn revenue from the following sources: (i) transaction fees which include Interchange Fees and surcharge revenue; (ii) processing fees and maintenance fees; and (iii) margin on the sale of ATMs. We typically sign exclusive five-year agreements (which contain renewal provisions) with our customers for their ATM transaction processing and maintenance and management services.
 

5
 
 

 
Since 1999 the Company’s focus was to grow our ATM estate organically utilizing in house sales as well as established distributor relationships.  In the past, the distributor relationship has been the keystone to our national ATM presence but as the Canadian marketplace matured, so did our established distributor model, and in 2010 we took over the operation and management of our ATM estates corporately, particularly in the Maritime Provinces and southern Ontario.  Combined with network changes within the Canadian Interac Network particularly the initiation of EMV chip encryption and the marketplace’s matured state the Company’s focus has been to maximize its current ATM placements, with a site by site evaluation of the go forward profitability of our ATM estate.  It has resulted in the reduction of the size of the ATM estate, as sites which require replacement ATM equipment not deemed profitable are eliminated.  This process will continue due to the deadline of EMV implementation having to be met by the end of 2012.   While the transition process proceeds, we are continuing to put into place the foundation of re-establishing our national distributor network, which is focusing on new ATM sales and placements due to the Network changes and requirements.

On January 7, 2009 the Corporation consolidated Vencash’s business operation with its processing and switching business into the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. (“Westsphere Systems”). Westsphere Systems is one of four nation-wide companies conducting fully integrated “end-to-end” distributor/processor operation within the private ATM market in Canada.  The "switch" supplies the financial information to the "channel" in relationship to the processing of all surcharge fees that are associated with the customer use of the ATM.

Previously Vencash Capital acted as a "channel" which contracted its financial electronic transfer responsibilities with two (2) non owned "switches" (Data West Solutions and Calypso Canada Ltd.).  In November 2008 the Corporation commenced the transfer of its previously contracted switch to Westsphere Systems, and with the roll out of our ATM estate onto Westsphere System’s processing switch, reliance on outsourced switching is being reduced to near elimination.

We typically provide our leading merchant customers with all of the services required to operate ATMs which include monitoring, maintenance, cash management, customer service and transaction processing. Although we are in a very competitive marketplace, management believes our merchant customers value our high level of service, our 24-hour per day monitoring and accessibility, and that our devices are on-line and able to serve customers. In connection with the operation of our devices and our customers’ devices under our traditional ATM deployers services, we generate revenue on a per-transaction basis from the surcharge fees charged to cardholders and Network Interchange for the convenience of using our devices and from interchange fees charged to such cardholders’ financial institutions for processing the related transactions conducted on those devices. For ATMs under managed services arrangements, we typically receive a fixed monthly management fee or fixed rate per transaction in return for providing the agreed-upon suite of services.
 
Current Stage of Corporate Development
 
Our ATM network has historically provided a majority of the cash flow which fuelled its and our other expansion.  With the maturity of this aspect of the business, acceptance of the white label ATM placement has become routine, and market saturation has in the recent past been experienced.  Our management believes that ATM business operations will continue to generate positive revenues and returns.  With the move to chip enabled card products, both debit and credit, the non-conventional bank “white label” ATM business has changed.  With these changes comes the requirement for ATM equipment upgrading or exchange which holds significant opportunity in the marketplace if there is a significant sales presence “on the street”.    The Corporation plans to focus on the re-establishment of our historic distribution network to allow for the growth of the ATM business operations and to expand our Switch Direct ATM business model.
 
Growth Strategy and Market Niche
 
Westsphere Systems Inc. is an integrated ATM provider offering a complete suite of ATM management services ranging from ATM deployment, maintenance reporting and settlement and transaction processing.   Historically we have focused on organic growth and our management's plan is to continue this effort as follows:
 
i.  
Continue our review of our nationwide ATM estate to evaluate profitability of each site within the network in order to maximize our current revenues and reduce our costs of administration, which might include the sale of those ATM estates to our distribution network or other third parties.
 
1i.  
We will re-establish our nationwide distribution network, which allowed for our presence in the marketplace in the past and allow us to capitalize on the opportunities afforded with the changeover to chip based transaction processing.
 
Over the past four years the Corporation has developed and implemented its Switching capabilities and membership within the INTERAC association and our national access to all regions within Canada through the INTERAC System.  This has been a very time and financially sensitive development but one which management believes holds significant potential.  Combined with consolidation of its various business operations and elimination of administrative and operation costs we have a vertically integrated business operation.

Our Strengths
 
We are a fully integrated full service national ATM operator focusing on providing retailers with reliable, low cost ATMs with contractual relationships which provide us with recurring transactional and fixed revenue streams with a large number of geographically diverse customers including small, medium and large retail enterprises in a variety of market segments. We enter into contracts with all our customers which typically have an initial term of five years and first right of refusal to contract extensions.
 
Historically, we have deployed and operated our devices under two distinct arrangements with our retail partners: Company-owned and merchant-owned arrangements. Under Company-owned arrangements, we provide the device and are typically responsible for all aspects of its operation, including transaction processing, managing cash, supplies, and telecommunications as well as routine and technical maintenance. Under our merchant-owned arrangements, the retail merchant or the distributor owns the device and is usually responsible for providing cash and performing simple maintenance tasks, while we provide more complex maintenance services, transaction processing, and connection to the EFT networks.
 
We will continue to utilize selective placement and monitoring of ATMs, to obtain maximum value for placement and a higher percentage return per terminal. Service and information dissemination will continue to be a priority for the management team.  We have a large customer base and a large geographical area in which to market our products.
 
With a recent substantial investment in technological infrastructure which has provided us with (i) equal or an enhanced economic advantage over the majority of our ATM competitors who must totally rely on third parties to provide them with various services including transaction processing through our access to Interac; (ii) the ability to provide additional products and services which our smaller regional competitors are not able to offer such as real time and customized reporting; (iii) control of the core technologies of our business; (iv) the ability to upgrade our products by adding new functionality and services not easily replicated by our competitors; and (v) the ability to grow organically without significant incremental technical capital.

In addition to deploying our devices under Company-owned and merchant-owned arrangements, we recently began offering a managed services solution, under which we provide certain services to retailers, financial institutions and other ATM operators. We offer various forms of managed services, depending on the needs of our customers, and offer a customized ATM management solution that can include monitoring, maintenance, cash management, customer service, transaction processing and other services.

Our strategy is to enhance our position as a major provider of automated consumer financial services not only in Canada but internationally and to expand our business operations to become a significant provider of managed services to further expand our network and service offerings into select international markets.

Risk Assessment
 
We operate in a changing and unpredictable regulatory environment. If we are subject to new legislation regarding the operation of our ATMs, we could be required to make substantial expenditures to comply with that legislation, which may reduce our net income and our profit margins.

The Corporation depends on a number of counterparties in the conduct of its business operations including; Moneris Solutions Corp., Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada, ACI Worldwide Inc. and Shaw Communications Inc.  There can be no assurance that any of these counterparties will be able to continue to perform their respective obligations and contracts. An interruption in or the termination of any contract or business arrangement by any counterparty, including, in relation to our membership within Interac, the supply by banks of cash for our ATM cash loads, the use of our own employees to load our Full Placement ATMs, and the Corporation’s inability to make alternative arrangements in a timely manner, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, we periodically negotiate renewal terms for these contracts and business arrangements and there can be no assurance that such renewal terms will remain financially acceptable.  Any interruption in the Corporation’s relationship with certain of these counterparties could materially adversely affect our ability to process ATM transactions. If the Corporation were to lose its access to Interac membership, this would immediately result in a material adverse effect to our business. There can be no assurance the Corporation would be able to find alternate supplies or sources of distribution in a timely manner.

Counterparty Risk – The ATM Business:   The private "white label" ATM business is highly competitive. We face competition from large numbers of companies engaged in the selling and servicing of ATM products in all areas in which we may attempt to operate. Competition includes some of the major financial institutions in Canada who have greater financial and human resources and greater name recognition.  If existing or new competitors gain market share our business and operating results could be adversely affected. Our future and existing competitors could also introduce products with superior features and functionality at lower prices than the Company's products, and could potentially bundle existing or new products with other more established products in order to compete with us. The introduction of new technologies, and any potential limitations or changes to our network or changes to security requirements could all have a materially adverse impact on our business. Competitors could also gain market share by acquiring or forming strategic alliances with other competitors. If existing or future competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing margin on products sold, we may also be required to reduce our margins or our fee structure or increase amounts payable to third parties, retailers, sales agents and resellers, which may reduce our revenue.

We may be unable to maintain and expand our customer base and may not be able to renew our contracts on the same or similar terms and conditions as those which presently exist. As well, our profitability may be affected by a number of factors including the expiry or termination of existing placement contracts or processing contracts.

Counterparty Risk – Networks:  The profitability of the Business will be in part dependent upon the continuation of a favorable regulatory regime with respect to the continuing operations and the future growth and development of independent ATM operators. Should the regulatory regime in an applicable jurisdiction be modified in a manner which adversely affects independent operators, including increases in taxes or increased regulatory burdens (including burdens imposed by Interac, Cirrus, Maestro, Visa and Plus), revenues may be adversely affected. The failure to obtain all necessary licenses or permits, including renewals thereof or modifications thereto, may adversely affect the Corporation’s cash flows.

Interac, MasterCard or VISA have mandated hardware and software security upgrades for ATMs, Debit Terminals and our Switch, and with the accompanying change of the rules and regulations around approved devices, members or security, our revenues may continue to be adversely impacted.  The Corporation’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, provincial laws and regulations, including Interac, Cirrus, Maestro, Visa, Plus and Canadian Payment Association rules and regulations. The Corporation and the companies with whom it contracts to provide services are required to invest financial and human resources to comply with such laws and the Corporation anticipates that it will continue to do so in the future. Although such expenditures historically have not been material to us, such laws or regulations are subject to change and accordingly, it is impossible to predict the cost or impact of such laws or regulations on its future operations. Although, to our knowledge, such fees are not anticipated to change, any change that Interac makes to its interchange fees, its fee structure or acquirer fees could have an adverse impact on our revenues. As well, current revenues would be adversely impacted if Interac decided to eliminate surcharging.

If a fraud occurs in the Interac network or in the Corporation’s network, this could result in an adverse impact on the Corporation and its revenues as a result of the implementation of more stringent regulations or the loss of consumer confidence, each of which may result in the transaction volumes at our ATMs declining and our revenues being adversely impacted.

Historically, Interac has enjoyed a near monopoly status in Canada to process PIN secured Debit Card transactions (as compared to the signature secured Credit Card transaction processing that several Credit Card Networks compete for). Merchants accepting payment by Interac debit card have historically enjoyed a very low cost fee structure (typically a few cents per transaction regardless of the size of the payment) and most bank customers have account fee arrangements with their financial institution that allows for a significant number of Debit Card transactions per month to be included in their monthly account fee. In comparison, a Credit Card acquirer's typical business model involves charging a share referred to as a Merchant Discount Rate (typically a percentage of 2-5% plus a flat per transaction fee in some circumstances) of the value of all transactions which a merchant agrees to accept payment through a Credit Card. The financial institution which issued the Credit Card then receives an Interchange Fee from the Credit Card acquirer.

The Canadian affiliates of the MasterCard and VISA Networks announced in early 2009 their intention to establish Canadian networks that would allow for the issuance of PIN secured Credit Cards in Canada (i.e. that would be functionally the same as the Debit Cards historically used through Interac).  In March 20, 2011 one of Interac founding member financial institutions CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) announced the launch of the CIBC VISA debit card product.  MasterCard and VISA are profit orientated businesses. Credit Card Networks like MasterCard and VISA compete with each other to try to get financial institutions to connect their issued card base to the Credit Card Networks. Financial institutions compete for customers who open accounts with the financial institution and make money off the customers by charging interest for borrowed funds and charging various kinds of account and transaction fees.

In search for greater market penetration and share the major Canadian Banking Institutes offer enhanced product services, the latest is the issuance of Debit Cards and/or Credit Cards to their customers that can be used on multiple Networks such as Interac, MasterCard or VISA. Customers will decide to use a particular card based on a number of factors such as whether the card is associated with a network accepted by the merchant the customer purchases goods and services from, the fees the customer will pay to use the card, and any benefits the customer receives from use of the card (i.e. air miles, cash back, etc.). Concerns have been expressed by retail merchants that the new PIN secured Credit Cards offered by MasterCard and VISA will be favored by financial institutions over Interac (because financial institutions can earn more revenue through the higher pricing models typically associated with Credit Card).   The routing of the debit or credit transaction to proprietary networks such as VISA and MasterCard could have a dramatic effect on the historical revenue stream of Canada’s largest debit network Interac which could result in effecting the company’s ongoing revenue stream.  The Canadian federal government has announced that they will not be taking steps to block MasterCard and VISA from offering PIN based card products in competition with Interac.

The Corporations revenues have historically been dependent on ATM transaction volume.  In the event that transaction volume decreases with the proliferation of additional ATMs in the market, the Corporation’s revenues will be negatively impacted.  Actual expenses may exceed the Corporation’s projected amounts and/or actual revenues may be less than the Corporation currently projects, in which case the Corporation may need to raise additional funds from lenders and equity markets in the future. In addition, the Corporation may choose to raise additional financing in order to capitalize on perceived opportunities in the marketplace that may accelerate the Corporation’s growth objectives. The Corporation’s abilities to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the Corporation’s business performance. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing, if needed, on terms satisfactory to the Corporation. If additional equity or debt financing is raised by the issuance of common stock, control of the Corporation may change and shareholders may experience dilution to their equity interest in the Company.
 
c.  
Business of E-Debit International Inc.
 
E-Debit International Inc. (“E-Debit International”) initial development stages focused on meeting the payment system needs of current and potential online shoppers.  E-Debit International's business model was based on an anonymous payment system to protect the identity of the purchaser while allowing for guaranteed payment to the merchant. E-Debit International intended to accomplish this system by developing and marketing a secure, anonymous online payment system that could be used by online consumers and merchants.
 
The events of September 11, 2001 caused our management to seriously evaluate the anonymity factor of the E-debit International process, particularly because the E-debit International process allowed for the anonymous transfer of currency. The anonymity extended to E-Debit International as the E-debit International account holder's identity would not be available to E-Debit International once the account numbers had been changed by the individual account holder, thereby allowing currency transfers without any ability to track or trace the account holder.
 
On January 7, 2009 the Board of Directors after reviewing the Corporations business operations at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on December 6, 2008 approved the sale and transfer of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of E-Debit International to the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc.
 
The Corporation entered into an asset purchase agreement on June 21, 2010 with an arm’s length third party related to certain hardware equipment, and software equipment for the establishment of a proprietary card management system in order to establish the foundation platform to enable E-Debit International to launch its card product entry into the loyalty, prepaid, debit and credit card business space originating in Canada and North America wide.  E-Debit International continues the development of its card product and to date it has not been put into commercial production.
 
d.  
Business of Cash Direct Financial Services Inc.
 
Cash Direct was formed to expand our “non-conventional banking” operations branded “Personal Financial $olutions”.
 
9
 
 

 
The first Personal Financial Solutions storefront commenced business operations on November 1, 2004 supplying short-term cash advance loan agreements under the brand name “Cash Direct Advance”, cheque cashing services, corporate registry and filing and other related services.
 
Cash Direct generated revenues from its investment in Personal Financial $olutions and through its first beta site which grew on a monthly basis during the first full year of operations.  It was apparent that the beta test supported the acceptance, convenience, versatility and reliability of the Cash Direct proprietary hardware and related software and although two (2) additional Personal Financial $olutions arms length privately held distributorships – one in Edmonton, Alberta and another in Calgary, Alberta
 
With the start up of the second Calgary Personal Financial $olutions independent business centre on March 15, 2006, the Calgary beta test store was wound down and its client base was transferred to the Calgary, Alberta distributor which continued to operate into 2007.  The Calgary, Alberta based distributor wound down its business operations in mid 2007 while the Edmonton, Alberta based distributor suspended his business operations in order to renovate the building which housed his distributorship.
 
The Corporation had previously determined that the operation of cheque cashing services, corporate registry and filing services was not adding to the financial potential of our core business model as the fee per transaction based business operations of its ATM, POS and card management businesses.  On October 15, 2010, the Corporation sold forty-one (41%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Cash Direct’s subsidiary 1105725 Alberta Ltd operating as Personal Financial Solutions to 1498328 Alberta Ltd. of which E-Debit Global officer and Chief Operating Officer is a principal shareholder. The sale resulted in 1498328 Alberta Ltd. controlling ninety (90%) of the issued and outstanding shares of 1105725 Alberta Ltd.   E-Debit Global has the option to repurchase up to 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of 1498328 Alberta Ltd. at $1.00 per share on or before October 14, 2013.
 
Concurrent to the sale of the shares of 1105725 Alberta Ltd. and in order to facilitate the financing of replacement ATM equipment to meet Interac EMV requirements, the Corporation on May 1, 2011 completed the sale of ninety (90%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Cash Direct Financial Services Inc. to 732352 Alberta Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of a company controlled by Douglas Mac Donald, the Corporation’s President and CEO.  E-Debit Global has the option to repurchase up to 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cash Direct Financial Services at $1.00 per share on or before April 30, 2013.
 
Current Stage of Our Development
 
Our group of companies employs sixteen (10) full-time employees and six (6) contracted consultant groups working in Calgary & Edmonton, Alberta, Kingston, Toronto & Orangeville, Ontario and Omaha, Nebraska.
 
We were incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1998, and hold wholly owned subsidiaries which conduct business throughout Canada.  We file and prepare our financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
 
ITEM 1A   RISK FACTORS
 
The following are certain risk factors relating to E-Debit Global Corporation, and the Corporation’s subsidiary business operations.  The following information is a summary only of certain risk factors and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and must be read in conjunction with, the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this document.

E-Debit Global Corporation is organized to be a holding corporation of the various other entities held as wholly owned subsidiaries and therefore is not directly subject to risks of the Business, however, since the Corporation derives its value and cash flow from its subsidiaries, the risks faced by the Corporation’s subsidiaries  are effectively also faced by the  Corporation. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties the Corporation faces.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Corporation or that the Corporation currently deems immaterial also may impair the Corporation’s business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Corporation's business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer.  In that event the trading price of the Corporation’s Common Shares could decline and holders of the Corporation’s Common Shares could lose all or part of their investment in The Corporation Shares.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this registration statement before investing in our common stock.  Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks.

We operate in a changing and unpredictable regulatory environment. If we are subject to new legislation regarding the operation of our ATMs, we could be required to make substantial expenditures to comply with that legislation, which may reduce our net income and our profit margins.
 
10
 
 

 
We have substantial indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $2,163,452 which includes $1,208,115 payable to suppliers for day-to-day operations.  Our ability to meet our debt service requirements will depend upon achieving significant and sustained growth in our expected cash flow.  Our cash flow will be affected by our success in implementing our business strategy, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.  Accordingly, we cannot be certain as to whether or when we will have sufficient resources to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness, we will have to sell assets, restructure or refinance our indebtedness or seek additional equity capital. We cannot assure that any of these strategies can be effective on satisfactory terms, if at all, particularly in light of our high levels of indebtedness. In addition, the extent to which we continue to have substantial indebtedness could have significant consequences, including:

·  
our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes may be materially  limited or impaired,

·  
a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations may need to be dedicated to the payment of general operations and therefore not available to finance our business growth, and our indebtedness,

·  
our high degree of indebtedness may make us more vulnerable to economic downturns, limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures or reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions.

Requirements associated with being a reporting Public Corporation will require significant company resources and management attention.

Compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies such as Sarbanes Oxley will create additional costs for us, will require the time and attention of management and will require the hiring of additional personnel and outside consultants. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur, the timing of such costs or the degree of impact on our management's attention to these matters will have on our business.
       
In addition, being a reporting public Corporation could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors' and officers' liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

Regulatory Regime

The profitability of the Corporation’s subsidiary business operations will be in part dependent upon the continuation of a favorable regulatory regime with respect to the continuing operations and the future growth and development of independent ATM, Debit Terminal and Prepaid Card operators. Should the regulatory regime or the interpretation of the legislation in an applicable jurisdiction be modified in a manner which adversely affects independent operators, including increases in taxes or increased regulatory burdens (including burdens imposed by Interac, Cirrus, Maestro, Canadian Payments Association, VISA and Plus), the Corporation’s profitability may be adversely affected.

The failure to obtain all necessary licenses or permits, including renewals thereof or modifications thereto, may adversely affect profitability.  If the Networks, like Interac, VISA, MasterCard, Plus, or Cirrus change their rules to alter the financial terms under which acquirers and issuers operate, such a change could have an adverse effect on the Corporations’ profitability (or a positive effect depending on the direction of the change).

Some examples of the types of financial terms that the Networks have the power to change under their rules include, changing of amounts of interchange that is paid to/by card issuers or transaction acquirers, adjusting the fees paid by card issuers and/or transaction acquirers to the Network, creating new fees or levies charged to card issuers and/or transaction acquirers, changing the rules for allocating the liability for fraudulent transactions and their associated costs, changing the requirements for connecting to the network for transaction processing, eliminating or restricting the use of surcharging, allowing non financial institution members to deploy or process transactions, increasing Network association fees charged to card issuers or transaction acquirers, changing their rules so that different rules/fees apply to financial institutions versus non financial institution terminal deployers or processors, and changing or adding new monetary sanctions for breaches of network rules. If such changes result in increased costs or decreased revenue for the Corporation, the Corporation may or may not be able to recover the difference by altering the terms of the contracts Corporation has with its customers (or the Corporation may not be able to make the necessary adjustments until the terms of existing contracts reach the end of their current term).

If Interac, MasterCard or VISA mandate a hardware or software security upgrade for ATMs, Debit Terminals or the Corporation’s Switch, or change the rules and regulations around approved devices, members or security, profitability may be adversely impacted.
 

11
 
 

 
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 Corporation’s business operations are subject to a variety of federal laws, provincial laws and the rules of various financial networks ("Networks"), including Interac, Cirrus, Maestro, VISA and Plus. Also, the Corporation or the entities with whom the Corporation contracts are subject to the jurisdiction of various government agencies and departments, including the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions ("OSFI"), the Canadian Payments Association (the "CPA"), Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation ("CDIC"), Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada ("FINTRAC"), offices of Provincial privacy commissioners as well as various jurisdictional Securities Commissions.

Some of the more common areas where regulatory compliance can become relevant to operation of the Corporation's business include (a) anti-money laundering ("AML") requirements which includes reporting of suspicious transactions and checking of customer names against various lists of terrorist organizations, (b) know your client ("KYC") requirements (c) fee disclosure requirements ("FDR"), (d) Identification of politically exposed foreign persons ("PEFP") and collection of additional information regarding PEFP transactions. Although the cost of compliance with such requirements historically has not had a material effect financially to the Corporation, such laws or regulations are subject to change and accordingly, it is impossible to predict the cost or impact of such laws or regulations on its future operations.

Each of the Networks, the CPA and other regulators are constantly reviewing, revising and updating their rules and regulations with a view to addressing and regulating new business practices, the needs of the marketplace and generally to meet their public interest mandates. Recently some Canadian provinces have chosen to legislate their own AML requirements (in addition to those already legislated under federal legislation). If any of the Networks or government agencies that regulate financial institutions change their rules (or their interpretation of the rules) so as to increase the administrative burdens necessary to operate the Corporation’s Prepaid Card program (for example, requiring that each Prepaid Card customer become a customer of the financial institution and provide the necessary information to open and maintain a separate deposit account), such changes/increased costs could negatively impact our card product business model. If other legislation not directly dealing with financial institutions (for example, the Tax Rebate and Discount Act (Canada)) or legislation similar to the legislation introduced to regulate "gift" cards, is passed to restrict or limit the ability to charge fees on Prepaid Cards, this may make the use of Prepaid Cards in such applications uneconomic.

The Canadian affiliates of the MasterCard and VISA Networks announced in early 2009 their intention to establish Canadian networks that would allow for the issuance of PIN secured Credit Cards in Canada (i.e. that would be functionally the same as the Debit Cards historically used through Interac).  As of March 20, 2011 one of Interac’s founding member financial institutions CIBC announced the launch of the CIBC VISA debit card product.  MasterCard and VISA are profit orientated businesses. Credit Card Networks like MasterCard and VISA compete with each other to try to get financial institutions to connect their issued card base to the Credit Card Networks. Financial institutions compete for customers who open accounts with the financial institution and make money off the customers by charging interest for borrowed funds and charging various kinds of account and transaction fees.

In search for greater market penetration and share, the major Canadian Banking Institutes offer enhanced product services; the latest is the issuance of Debit Cards and/or Credit Cards to their customers that can be used on multiple Networks such as Interac, MasterCard or VISA. Customers will decide to use a particular card based on a number of factors such as whether the card is associated with a network accepted by the merchant the customer purchases goods and services from, the fees the customer will pay to use the card, and any benefits the customer receives from use of the card (i.e. air miles, cash back, etc.). Concerns have been expressed by retail merchants that the new PIN secured Credit Cards offered by MasterCard and VISA will be favored by financial institutions over Interac (because financial institutions can earn more revenue through the higher pricing models typically associated with Credit Card).   The routing of the debit or credit transaction to proprietary networks such as VISA and MasterCard could have a dramatic effect on the historical revenue stream of Canada’s largest debit network Interac which could result in effecting the company’s ongoing revenue stream.  The Canadian federal government has announced that they will not be taking steps to block MasterCard and VISA from offering PIN based card products in competition with Interac.

 The Corporation employs a significant number of employees and contractors that conduct very significant services to the Corporation’s operating systems associated to our Switch Operations.  In the course of supplying those services and supports if one or more of these individuals in key control positions were to perpetrate a fraud (for example, relating to settlement of transactions, altering account deposit account details, changing customer charging details, fraudulently ordering cash to a non Corporate owned location, or creating fake accounts), this could have a negative impact on the Corporation's cash flow.  To reduce this risk the Corporation has put into place significant internal controls and monitoring to detect any of these possible activities, and the Corporation requires dual entry for many of the encryption key loading and control processes related to the cash settlement process.

Our prior growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth rates and should not be relied upon.

You should not consider prior growth rates in our revenue to be indicative of our future operating results. The timing and amount of future revenues will depend on our ability to add new ATM/POS terminals to the switch product.  Our future operating results will depend upon many other factors, including:

     - the level of processing transactions and price competition,

     - our success in expanding our business network and managing our growth,

     - our ability to develop and market product enhancements and new products,

     - the ability to hire additional employees, and

     - the timing of such hiring and the ability to control costs.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.
 
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the growth of our business.
 
Disaster Recovery

The Corporation  has a Disaster Recovery Site located off-site in Calgary, Alberta, and it may not be possible to effectively transition on a timely basis all of the Corporation’s operations and functions to the off-site facility in the event of disaster or equipment failure. The Corporation maintains an addition manual backup program and UPS (uninterruptible power source or battery backup) on site within the Corporation’s general office and full back up auxiliary power and redundant broad band supply at our off-site Disaster Recovery Site.

Software Viruses and Network Intrusion

The Corporation maintains many different networks and management information systems (some of which are interconnected) and some of which are connected to the internet or to other external networks. The Corporation may be susceptible to viruses and network intrusions by third parties. Furthermore, network intrusions that occur on outside networks (or the internet) that the Corporation connects to can spread to the Corporation. Any intrusion or virus could impact the performance of the transaction processing capabilities of the Corporation’s Switch and management software and in a worst case scenario could require temporary shutdown of the affected systems (and the related services offered by the Corporation), and compromise information about customers, users and employees. Systems that are accessed through the internet are also subject to "denial of service" attacks.  These attacks do not involve an intrusion into the system but can effectively make the systems unavailable to the Corporation's customers and employees.
 

13
 
 

 
The Corporation maintains significant and complex security policies and procedures to manage these risks, some of which include intrusion detection software, virus monitoring software, IP blocking, IP tracking software, complex encryption for transactions, network monitoring and reporting solutions as well as application and data base level restrictions and controls through network design and implementation.

Uninsured and Underinsured Losses

The insurance coverage currently maintained by the Corporation is in the form of comprehensive property and casualty insurance, including coverage in respect of claims for bodily injury or property damage arising out of assets or operations. In many of the Corporation's customer contracts, the customer is required to maintain insurance with the Corporation named as a loss payee.  Although efforts are made to carry out verification it is difficult to monitor as to the effectiveness of the maintenance of the insurance coverage and that the necessary insurance is currently in place.  Even in cases where the Corporation’s customers remain contractually obligated to maintain insurance for the Corporation's benefit, it is possible that when a loss occurs the necessary insurance will not be in place or will deny coverage.

The Corporation does carry insurance for cash in transit. As a result, not all risks facing the Corporation are now or will be covered by insurance, and no assurance can be given that insurance will be consistently available or will be consistently available on an economically feasible basis or that the amounts of insurance will at all times be sufficient to cover each and every loss or claim that may occur involving the Corporation’s assets or operations. In particular, damage caused by an accidental or natural disaster to any or all of the Corporation's office/warehouse facilities, including the contracted Switch operation, may have a material adverse affect on the financial well being of the Corporation’s operations.

Dependency on Networks and Other Counterparties for a Number of Contracts and Business Arrangements

The Corporation depends (directly or indirectly) on a number of Networks and counterparties in the conduct of the Corporation's Business, including Interac, MasterCard, VISA, Plus, Cirrus, Moneris Solutions Corp., Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada,  Shaw Communications Inc., the DPL Group, TNSI, Trans Armored Canada Ltd., and equipment and software vendors such as ACI Worldwide Inc., Rycom Inc. and ebackup Inc. There can be no assurance that any of these counterparties will be able to continue to perform their respective obligations and contracts or that the Corporation will be allowed to continue its memberships with applicable Networks.  An interruption in or the termination of any contract or business arrangement by any counterparty (including, in relation to the Corporation's access to Networks, the supply by banks of cash for The Corporation's ATM cash loads, the use of the Corporation's own employees to load the Corporation's Full Placement ATMs, and the Corporation's inability to make alternative arrangements in a timely manner, or at all), could have a material adverse effect on The Corporation's Business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, the Corporation periodically negotiates renewal terms for these contracts, business arrangements and memberships and there can be no assurance that such renewal terms will remain acceptable to the Corporation or any such counterparty or Network. An interruption in the Corporation's relationship with certain of these counterparties could materially adversely affect the Corporation's ability to process ATM, Debit Terminal, Prepaid Card transactions.  If The Corporation were to lose the Corporation's access to Interac or MasterCard memberships, this would immediately result in a material adverse effect to the Corporation's business. The Corporation is also a large user of, and the Corporation's communication and processing systems are dependent on hardware and software sourced from ACI Worldwide Inc. and Rycom Inc. There can be no assurance that the Corporation would be able to find alternate supplies or sources of distribution in a timely manner.

We depend upon key personnel, the loss of which could seriously harm our business.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and key employees.   Our long-term success will depend on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate highly skilled personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. We have at times experienced difficulties in recruiting qualified personnel, and we may experience difficulties in the future.  The Corporation has historically been dependent on a relatively small number of key officers and employees, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Corporation. Due to the technical nature of the Corporation business operations, the Corporation is dependent upon its ability to continue to attract and retain qualified management, marketing, information technology and technical personnel. There is competition for qualified personnel in the Corporation’s business and in related businesses and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the development of the Corporation's businesses. Douglas Mac Donald continues to act as President and C.E.O. of the Corporation and its principal subsidiaries under an ongoing employment agreement with the Corporation.

Clients, Contracts & Market Saturation

The Corporation may be unable to maintain and expand the Corporation's customer base and may not be able to renew the Corporation's contracts on the same or similar terms and conditions as that which presently exist. The ATM and Debit Terminal Markets may reach saturation and organic growth may be limited to market size. As well, the Corporation's profitability may be affected by a number of factors including the expiry or termination of existing Placement Contracts, Processing Contracts or card management contracts. The Corporation may not be able to enforce the terms of certain of the Corporation's contracts depending on the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

Competition and Technological Change

The ATM, Debit Terminal and prepaid products businesses are highly competitive. The Corporation's competitors include some of the major financial institutions in Canada who have greater financial and human resources and greater name recognition than the Corporation. As well, if existing or new competitors gain market share, the Corporation's business and operating results could be adversely affected. The Corporation's future and existing competitors could also introduce products with superior features and functionality at lower prices than the Corporation's products, and could potentially bundle existing or new products with other more established products in order to compete with the Corporation.

The introduction of new technologies, and any potential limitations or changes to the Corporation's network or changes to security requirements could all have a materially adverse impact on the Corporation's business. Competitors could also gain market share by acquiring or forming strategic alliances with other competitors. If existing or future competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing margin on products sold, the Corporation may also be required to reduce the Corporation's margins or the Corporation's fee structure or increase amounts payable to third parties, retailers, sales agents and resellers, which may reduce the Corporation's revenue and cash flow.

Transaction Volumes

The Corporation's revenues are largely dependent on (a) transaction volumes at ATMs.  If these transaction volumes decrease with the proliferation of additional ATMs in the market, the Corporation's revenues and profitability will be negatively impacted.

Requirement for Additional Capital

Actual expenses may exceed the Corporation's projected amounts and/or actual revenues may be less than the Corporation currently anticipates, in which case the Corporation may need to raise additional funds from lenders and equity markets in the future. In addition the Corporation may choose to raise additional financing in order to capitalize on perceived opportunities in the marketplace that may accelerate the Corporation's growth objectives.  The Corporation's abilities to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the Corporation's business performance. There can be no assurance that the Corporation or will be successful in efforts to arrange additional financing, if needed, on terms satisfactory to the Corporation. If additional equity or debt financing is raised by the issuance of the Corporation Shares, control of the Corporation may change and holders of the Corporation Shares may experience dilution to their equity interest in the Corporation.

Vault Cash

The Corporation maintains cash in many ATMs (i.e. is the owner of the cash and is responsible for replenishing cash in such ATMs). The Corporation's vault cash requirements are funded in part from private credit facilities. Funding increasing vault cash requirements from historic lines of credit may become limited.  The Corporation's ability to fund such requirements and the Corporation’s inability to arrange an appropriate expansion of such credit facilities, would require the Corporation to consider funding alternatives for some ATMs which could result in a reduced level of profitability from the affected ATMs.

Credit Risk

The Corporation's ability to collect amounts due or realize on the personal property security act registration on the Corporation's clients may affect profitability.

Alternative Payments

Alternative payment options could be developed that change individuals' requirements to get cash from ATMs or make purchases with debit cards or credit cards. Some new payment technologies that have emerged in the past few years include pay-pass and touch and go systems and payment systems that utilize features built into cellular phones. To date these alternative technologies have not had a measurable impact. However, these technologies and new technologies developed in the future could become more prevalent and thereby negatively impact the Corporation's business.

Need to Manage Growth Effectively

If the Corporation fails to manage the Corporation's growth effectively, The Corporation's business and operating results could be adversely affected, which could impact the market price of the Corporation’s Shares to fall. The Corporation expects to continue to grow the operations of the Corporation domestically and internationally, and to hire additional employees. The growth in the Corporation's operations and staff has placed, and will continue to place, a strain on existing management systems and resources. If the Corporation fails to manage the Corporation's future anticipated growth, the Corporation may experience higher operating expenses, and the Corporation may be unable to meet the expectations of shareholders, securities analysts or prospective investors with respect to future operating results.

The Market Price of the Corporation Shares Will Fluctuate

Since being listed for trading on the OTC:QB under the trading symbol WSHE on July 21, 2001, shares of the Corporation have  not necessarily traded at values determined solely by reference to the underlying value of its assets.  In addition, the market price for the Corporation’s Shares may be affected by changes in general market conditions, fluctuations in the market for equity or debt securities and numerous other factors beyond the control of the Corporation.  The Management and Board of Directors have over the past year examined the cost-benefits of the continuation of being listed for trading, particularly on the OTC:QB.  Trading restrictions issued by various securities jurisdictions combined with less than positive brokerage acceptance of our stock for placement within our shareholders brokerage accounts has been problematic to the Board.  The Board will continue to review all options available to the Company in order to ensure preservation of shareholder value, one of which is the expansion of the preferred share position to include all current shareholders.

Proprietary Information

The Corporation relies on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other measures to protect its proprietary information. All of these measures afford only limited protection. These measures may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. Despite the Corporation's best efforts to protect proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to obtain or use information that the Corporation regards as proprietary.

Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Corporation's debt fluctuates from time to time and the Corporation pays interest on the Corporation's debt on floating and fixed interest rates. Accordingly, any increase in rates may have a negative impact on profitability.

Our management has broad discretion over the use of capital raised.

We plan on raising capital for working capital and to help pay off the outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. Thus, management will have broad discretion in allocating proceeds of any offering.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 7, 2004, the Corporation sued Fred and Linda Sebastian to recover an outstanding loan of $80,000 (CDN) plus interest and court costs. The Corporation 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 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 Corporation 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.

On January 25, 2009, Victory ATM filed an action in the Nova Scotia Superior Court of against Vencash Capital Corporation.  Victory ATM was formerly a customer of Vencash distributor Bullion Investments Inc. and claimed that supplied vault cash to a contracted armoured car company had been misappropriated for a total of approximately $45,000 CDN.  The Company has filed a statement of defense stating that Vencash had no care control or access to the vault cash supplied by Victory ATM and the only role that Vencash played was processing the Victory ATM in their designated site locations.  The Company believes the claim by Victory ATM to be without merit and has not accrued a liability for the claim.  As of March 2011, our Nova Scotia legal counsel has advised that she will monitor this situation for the next month and upon discussion with Victory ATM legal counsel will make application to the courts to have the claim initiated against Vencash terminated.

Contingency

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:
 
(c)  
EMV (Europay, MasterCard, VISA) certified chip card (the replacement technology for the historical magnetic stripe cards)software/readers, and

(d)  
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:

(c)  
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;
(d)  
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.
 

17
 
 

 
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.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
As a smaller reporting Company, the Company is not required to include this Item.
 
ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
E-Debit and its subsidiaries generated a net loss of $1,095,912 from operations for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011.  During the period of operations ending December 31, 2010, E-Debit and its subsidiaries generated a net loss of $1,152,944.  The decrease in year 2011’s net loss of $57,032 over the previous year was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits of $59,904, a decrease in stock-based compensation of $284,120, and an increase in other income of $69,773.  The decrease in net loss is partially offset against a decrease in gross profit of $222,582, an increase in other expenses of $39,286, and an increase in interest expense of $66,638 over the same period from the previous year.
 
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 stock-based compensation expense of $284,120 was related to the Company’s 2010 Option Grant to the Directors of the company, at a duly called Shareholder meeting on March 27, 2010. The stock-based compensation expense was determined by using the Black Scholes calculation.
 
The increase in other income was mainly related to the forgiveness of debt owed to the Company’s former auditor and suppliers.
 

19
 
 

 
The decrease in gross profit of $222,582 was primarily caused by a decrease in residual and interchange income of $637,861 and an increase in equipment and supplies cost of sales of $95,421.  The decrease is partially offset against a decrease in residual and interchange costs of $479,984.
 
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 equipment and supplies cost of sales was mainly caused by the write off of inventory that became obsolete in 2011.

The increase in other operating expenses was mainly related to an increase in bad debt expense of $54,972, an increase in contingent expense of $30,931.  The increase is partially offset against a decrease in advertising of $38,458 and a decrease of telephone of $12,208.

The increase in the contingent expense was related to a court order filed by the Company’s former Vencash distributor for wrongful dismissal in May 2004.
  
The increase in interest expense was due to interest charges for the cash advanced by related parties of $57,718 and the late payments to vendors of $8,920 during the year.

In February 2011, the Company and its subsidiary, Westsphere Systems Inc., jointly 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 five hundred thousand ($1,500,000) dollars in Canadian Funds to the Company.  Loans are due “On Demand” with initial thirty-six months (36) term 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.
 
At this date, 661 ATM are being processed between three switches. There was no change in operations during the year 2011 as compared to prior year.
 
In May 2011, E-Debit decided to sell 90 common shares (90%) of the issued and outstanding shares held in its wholly owned subsidiary, Cash Direct Financial Services Ltd. (CDF) at $1.00 per share.  The common shares were sold to a number company that is controlled by the president of E-Debit.  The purchaser agrees that the current outstanding advances made to the company by E-Debit will remain outstanding and owed by the related party to E-Debit.  As a result of the sale transaction, E-Debit remains a 10% shareholder in Cash Direct Financial Services.  E-Debit did not restate its financial statements to deconsolidate the CDF subsidiary, as CDF’s balances are immaterial to E-Debit’s consolidated financial statements.  CDF has had no active business activities for the last two years. CDF had total assets and an accumulated deficit of $475 and $15,145, respectively, at April 30, 2011.
 
The purpose of the sale of the subsidiary was to save administration and audit costs to E-Debit since CDF had no active business activities for the last two years.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company setup $12,259 as allowance for doubtful collections of the related parties’ receivable, as the repayment of the receivables was unknown.

On August 18, 2011, the Company granted options to three consultants in the total of 2,925,000 common shares under the 2004 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan.  The option grant triggered the stock-based compensation expense of $29,227 which was determined by using the Black Scholes calculation.

On December 1, 2011, as a result of the changes to the Interac Network EMV (Europay, MasterCard, VISA) chip card requirements and to meet the financial requirements resulting from these changes, the Company completed the move of its ATM assets including ATM equipment and related Site Location and Placement Agreements into E-Debit Global Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary VenCash Payment Solutions Inc., which segregated the Company’s Canadian national network of automated teller machines (“ATMs”) and our technical and transaction processing operations platforms (the “Switch”) which remained within Westsphere Systems Inc.  The purpose of the segregation was for the Company to sell part or all of the ATM estate.

On December 20, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries jointly and severally, signed a General Security Agreement (GSA) as well as loan agreements related to the loan from an arms length investor for $195,835 ($200,000 CDN).  Under the GSA, this debt is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets.  As a result the aforementioned GSA dated February 2011 for the current debts owed to related parties and shareholders was cancelled in order that this new loan and GSA could be filed in priority to other loans advance to the Company by related parties.

Upon completion of the first party claim related to the December loan and GSA, the Company and its subsidiaries jointly and severally signed a 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 loans are due “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.  This $1,750,000 loan replaces the February 2011 loan for $1,500,000.
 

20
 
 

 
In January 2012, the Company received a copy of notice of garnishment from the bank institution against one of the subsidiaries Vencash’s bank account for the total amount not to exceed $30,931 ($31,649 CDN).  The garnishment is related to a claim filed by the Company’s former distributor Peter Gregory back in May 2004 for wrongful dismissal. 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.

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.

E-Debit believes that the continued investment from related parties and outside investors will continue to produce sufficient ongoing funding to meet its current and future financial requirements.

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 fiscal year 2011, total assets increased from $1,507,230 to $1,602,685.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in cash of $96,492 and an increase in restricted cash of $112,363.  The increase is partially offset against a decrease in other receivable – related parties of $30,565 and a decrease in inventory of $64,478.
 
The increase in restricted cash was mainly caused by the surcharge and interchange settlement owed to customers as of December 31, 2011.  These surcharge and interchange settlements were returned to the customers on January 2, 2012.

The decrease in other receivable – related parties was mainly caused by the Company recording an allowance for doubtful accounts for other receivable - related parties as the repayment of these receivables was unknown.

The decrease in inventory was caused by the write off inventory that became obsolete in 2011.

As of December 31, 2011, E-Debit’s current liabilities consisted of accounts payable of $1,051,828, accrued liabilities of $156,287, loans payable of $358,754, indebtedness to related parties of $1,081,259, and shareholder loans of $285,194.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities include a payable of $248,545 for the return of surcharge and interchange; the return of switch vault cash of $595,044; legal and accounting fees of $92,309; switch and hosting fees of $91,357; contingent expense of $30,931; accrued vacation payable of $8,603; investors deposits of $3,464; and $137,862 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 $97,917 ($100,000 CDN) with an external arms-length investor, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with blended monthly payments of interest only of $977 ($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 December 31, 2011, the balance is $97,917 ($100,000 CDN).  This loan is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as loans payable.

In November 2007, Westsphere’s subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. (WSI) raised $128,272 ($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 $1,280 ($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 December 31, 2011, the balance is $64,626 ($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 $195,835 ($200,000 CDN) at a prime lending rate of Canadian Prime plus four (4%) percent.  Upon demand the company has forty-five (45) days to repay the Demand Loan and interest.  The purpose of the loan was to fund for the purchase of ATMs.

As of December 31, 2011, the balance is $196,211 ($200,384 CDN).  This loan is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as Loans payable.

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.
 
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.
 
E-Debit did not raise funds this year to facilitate Westsphere Systems growth opportunities due to the condition of Corporations’ financial market.
 
Short Term
 
On a short term basis, 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 commence rollover of ATMs to process all transactions.  The switch operations currently do not generate sufficient revenue to cover it expenses.  In addition, E-Debit’s subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. experiencing a steady decrease in gross profit; specifically in the residual and interchange income over the past three years. The Company has incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and as of December 31, 2011, had a working capital deficit of $2,163,452 and an accumulated deficit of $1,330,637. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability 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, there is no demand for payment on the indebtedness to relate parties of $1,081,259 and shareholders’ loan of $285,194 as these liabilities are owed to internal officers and directors. E-Debit believes that the investment from related parties, outside investors, and private offering memorandum will continue to produce sufficient ongoing funding to meet its current and future financial requirements.
 
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 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 Westsphere Systems Inc.
 
Long Term
 
E-Debit, through its subsidiary Westsphere Systems Inc. has successfully gained membership into the Canadian Interac Association as an Acquirer. This will enable the direct processing of ATM, POS and other transactions for its other subsidiaries, Vencash and Westsphere Systems Inc. E-Debit has sourced out an industry leader, ACI Worldwide, and invested in the development and ongoing support required to facilitate the processing of transactions. Westsphere Systems Inc. will process all transactions through its association with ACI thereby eliminating the costs, restrictions, and potential risks of relying on third party processors. Most importantly, the investment in the processor, or switch, will also enable E-Debit’s direct entry into new and emerging markets such as card management and processing. To fund the switch development project, E-Debit will continue to be dependent on equity funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds.
 
As mentioned above, E-Debit believes that the Corporations subsidiaries upon consolidation combined with continued investment from related parties, outside investors, and private offering memorandum will continue to produce sufficient ongoing funding to meet its current and future financial requirements. The Corporation also will continue its plan to sell some of its business operations to its current distribution network participants and/or non-related parties in order to maximize the financial potential of those assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
Board of Directors
E-Debit Global Corporation
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of E-Debit Global Corporation (Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based upon our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.   The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E-Debit Global Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in Note 14, the Company has incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and had a working capital deficit and a stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2011 and 2010, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan in regard to this matter is also discussed in Note 14. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

E-DEBIT GLOBAL CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
Note 1 – Organization and Principles of Consolidation
 
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.

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

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company has a minority interest in two entities that are not consolidated and are immaterial.  All inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
  Subsidiaries Percentage of Ownership
     
  Westsphere Systems Inc. 100%
  E Debit International Inc. 100% 
  Vencash Capital Corporation   100%
  Vencash Payment Solutions Inc.  100%
  Westsphere Capital Group Ltd.  100%
 
Minority interests in the income and equity of consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned are recorded except when the subsidiary has a deficit and there are no agreements for the minority shareholders to contribute additional capital. As of December 31, 2011 all minority-owned subsidiaries had deficits and therefore no minority interest is recorded.
 
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in United States dollars.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and to report amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents totaled $96,492 and $-0- at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
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.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 Company 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 Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative instruments.
 
F-7
 
 

 
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 1: 
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
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.

The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value. The note carries no interest rate, and requires no monthly payments.

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.
 
     2011      2010  
Accounts Receivable
           
      Equipment   $ 5,579     $ -  
      Services     462       19,752  
      Other     44,473       22,923  
      50,514       42,675  
                 
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts     (13,172 )     (902 )
    $ 37,342     $ 41,773  

The bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $74,223 and $19,251, respectively.  The bad debt is reflected in the accompanying consolidated Statements of Operations as Other operating expenses.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory consists of the following elements:
 
     Quantity     Cost  
December 31, 2011 -                
ATM     6     $ 14,058  
POS     -       -

Parts and accessories     1,237       37,840  
Total           $ 78,536  
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.
 

F-8
 
 

 
Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is calculated using a declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment.
 
Stock Splits
 

On March 26, 2010, the Board of E-Debit Global Corporation authorized the initial forward split of the Corporation’s preferred shares on a basis of 10 preferred shares for each 1 preferred share.

On October 26, 2010, pursuant to the authorization of the Company’s shareholders given at the annual shareholders meeting held on March 27, 2010, management filed a notice of corporate action with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority declaring a 5 to 1 forward split of the outstanding common stock effective November 8, 2010 or as soon thereafter as determined by FINRA.
 
On November 15, 2010, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority made the previously announced 5 to 1 forward split of the outstanding common stock effective.  The new symbol for the common stock is WSHED.  After twenty days the “D” was removed from the symbol.  The additional shares are payable upon surrender to the transfer agent.  A forward split of outstanding preferred stock on a 5 to 1 basis was also effective on November 15, 2010.
 
Total issued and outstanding share capital after the forward splits was 89,413,630 common shares and 70,855,000 preferred shares as of December 31, 2010.

All references to common and preferred shares within the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect post-split figures.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.  Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the applicable net earnings (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive E Debit Global Corporation common shares had been issued during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Total outstanding stock options of 11,739,286 and 17,575,000 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, that would potentially dilute the earnings per share.  However, these stock options are anti-dilutive and were not included in the earnings per share calculation.  As a result, there is no variance between basic and dilute earnings per share at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Total outstanding convertible preferred shares of 70,855,900 and 70,855,900 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, would potentially dilute the earnings per share.  The preferred shareholders have the right to convert such preferred share to a share of common stock (1:1) upon delivery of 21 days written notice to the Company, at a price of $0.05 per share payable to the Company.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenues from sales, leasing and servicing of individual cash vending machines are recognized when substantially all significant events to be provided by the Company have been performed. Interchange and residual revenues from the operation of vending and point-of-sale machines are recognized when the transaction is processed and due to the company.

The Company rents ATM machines to customers on a month-to-month basis. The carrying value of property rented to customers as of December 31, 2011 is $963.  Because all rental agreements are on a month-to-month basis, there are no minimum future rentals.

The Company offers no warranties or right of return beyond manufacturers’ warranties.
 
F-9
 
 

 
Foreign Currency
 
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates amounts into United States dollars using the current rate method.  Under this method, assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period, and equity account are translated at the historical rate.  Related translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company depends (directly or indirectly) on Switch equipment and software particularly ACI Worldwide Inc. related to the Company’s Switch and an interruption in or the termination of any contract or business arrangement with ACI Worldwide Inc. could have a material adverse effect on The Company's Business.  Although the Company maintains switching contract relations with two alternative Switch providers our business would be interrupted until transition and during the period of transition it could trigger financial loss to the Company.

In addition the Company relies on a contractual agreement with Moneris Solution Company to settle daily ATM vault cash dispensements throughout our ATM Network.  If Moneris fails to settle the ATM vault cash it would have a very significant adverse effect on the Company business, financial condition and operating results making the Company liable for payment of the non settled vault cash to our customer base.

Other financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk include cash equivalents, restricted cash, and notes and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains its cash balances in the form of bank demand deposits and money market accounts that management believes to be of high credit quality.  The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.  Accounts receivable are typically uncollateralized and are derived from transactions with and from customers primarily located in Canada.

No revenues to unaffiliated customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates resulting from new legislation is recognized in income in the period of enactment.  A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when management concludes more likely than not the deferred asset is recoverable.

Expected future losses represent sufficient negative evidence regarding its recoverability and accordingly, a full valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets. A full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance.

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Colorado as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined.  The Company is not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction.  The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. 

Advertising expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and the total amounts for 2011 and 2010 were nominal.

Dividends

The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during the years presented.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to conform 2010 to the 2011 financial statement presentation. There is no impact to operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-4, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on fair value measurement. The guidance clarifies how a principal market is determined, addresses the fair value measurement of instruments with offsetting market or counterparty credit risks, addresses the concept of valuation premise and highest and best use, extends the prohibition on blockage factors to all three levels of the fair value hierarchy and requires additional disclosures. ASU 2011-4 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. E-Debit is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2011-4 and has not yet determined its impact on E-Debit’ condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income — Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05).  This update changes the requirements for the presentation of other comprehensive income, eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, amongst other things.  ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  These amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively.  This ASU will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, ("ASU 2011-08"), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." Under ASU 2011-08, entities have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2011-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 – Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is being restated to correct the accounting treatment previously reported in connection with the item described below, and reported in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In June 2010, the Company purchased a card management system from a third party in exchange for 26,877,780 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Management had originally determined that the fair value of the card management system was $537,556.  In the third quarter of 2011, management recalculated the fair value of the card management system to be $363,636.

A summary of the changes to the financial statements as of December 31, 2010 is shown below:

The property and equipment, idle was related to the purchase of computer hardware and software for the card management system in June 2010.  The software and computer hardware was purchased as a turnkey operating system which focused on a loyalty based platform.  As of December 31, 2011, the system is being expanded from its loyalty based platform to cash based platform.  The Company is expecting the expansion of the systems to be completed by the second quarter of 2012.
 
Note 5 – 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.
 

F-12
 
 

 
As a result Westsphere Systems Inc. will process 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 support 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 6 – Loans Payable
 
In September 2007, WSI entered into a loan agreement with an initial term of twelve months totaling $97,917 ($100,000 CDN) with an external arms-length investor, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with blended monthly payments of interest only of $977 ($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.  WSI 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 WSI or vice versa.  The purpose of the loan is to supply vault cash to WSI’s customer-owned ATM equipment and site locations.  WSI supplies vault cash to these site locations because its customers do not have sufficient vault cash for these site locations.
 

F-13
 
 

 
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 (see note 5).

Preferred stock

The Board of E-Debit Global Corporation authorized the initial forward split of the Corporation’s preferred shares on a basis of 10 preferred shares for each 1 preferred share effective March 26, 2010.  The resulting stock split increased the Company’s issued and outstanding preferred shares from 1,417,118 to 14,171,180 shares.

The Board of E-Debit Global Corporation authorized a forward split of the Corporation’s preferred shares on a basis of 5 preferred shares for each 1 preferred share effective November 15, 2010. The resulting stock split increased the Company’s issued and outstanding preferred shares from 14,171,180 to 70,855,900 shares.
 
All preferred shares are voting shares.  However, voting of such preferred shares vest with the Board of Directors as set out in the shareholder’s resolution approved at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 7, 2002.
 
The preferred shareholders will have the right to convert such preferred share to a share of common stock (1:1) upon delivery of 21 days written notice to the Company, at a price of $0.05 per share payable to the Company. However, share certificates will be issued with the following share trading restrictions: 1/3 of the total shares to be converted will be restricted from trading for a period of six (6) months from the date of conversion; 1/3 of the total shares to be converted will be restricted from trading for a period of one (1) year from the date of conversion; 1/3 of the total shares to be converted will be restricted from trading for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of conversion.
 
The preferred shares are non-cumulative.  Any dividend distribution results in the preferred stock receiving the first 30 percent of the total dividend issued and then participating equally in a pro-rata manner with all share classes.
 
There are no liquidation rights or preferences that the preferred stock holds over common stock.

In November 2010, the Board of E-Debit Global Corporation decided in favor of setting the condition for conversion of the preferred shares of the Company to the Common Stock of the Company at two ($0.02) cents per converted share payable to the Company.  The amendment to the conversion had not been implemented as of April 2012.
 
Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company is required to file United States income tax returns, and the Company’s operating subsidiaries file Canadian income tax returns.

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  We are not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction.  The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are comprised entirely of net operating loss carry-forwards.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the reconciliation between the statutory federal tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage is as follows:

   
2011
   
2010
 
Statutory federal income tax rate
    34 %     34 %
Effect of net operating loss carry-forward
    (34 )     (34 )
      - %     - %

The Company has estimated net operating loss carry forwards of $5,105,839 available to reduce future taxable income, which expire as follows:

2021
  $ 185,899  
2022
  $ 249,921  
2023
  $ 252,849  
2024
  $ 569,296  
2027
  $ 314,427

  $ 976,297

  $ 839,597  
2031
  $  1,066,685  
    $  5,105,839  
 

F-17
 
 

 
The Company has a limited history of earnings, and there is no guarantee of future earnings to offset the net operating loss carry forwards. The deferred tax asset resulting from the net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,735,985 is offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards.  The net increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $362,673 from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, and primarily results from the operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company has no U.S. income other than from its Canadian subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that foreign tax credits allowed for payment of Canadian taxes will be sufficient so that there will be no U.S. income tax liability for the parent company.

The Company is delinquent on filing its Federal and state tax returns and may be subject to penalties and interest.  All delinquent income tax returns are subject to Federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities.  A contingency exists with respect to this matter, the ultimate resolution of which may not be presently determined.

Note 9 - Stock Based Compensation

During 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Employees Stock Option and Stock Award Plan for directors, employees and consultants. The maximum number of shares that may be optioned or awarded under the plan is 20,000,000.  In December 2009, the Company approved an amendment of the Stock Option and Stock Award Plan filed on January 26, 2005 which remains in effect through January 26, 2015.  The maximum number of shares that may be optioned or awarded under the plan is amended to 37,500,000.  Additional provisions of the plan call for awards, exercise prices and vesting to be determined by the board of directors or its designated administrator.

Risk-free interest rate       0.01% - 0.20%       0.01% - 0.68%

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.

On January 25, 2009, Victory ATM filed an action in the Nova Scotia Superior Court against Vencash Capital Corporation.  Victory ATM was formerly a customer of Vencash distributor Bullion Investments Inc. and claimed that supplied vault cash to a contracted armoured car company had been misappropriated for a total of approximately $45,000 CDN.  The Company has filed a statement of defense stating that Vencash had no care control or access to the vault cash supplied by Victory ATM and the only role that Vencash played was processing the Victory ATM in their designated site locations.  The Company believes the claim by Victory ATM to be without merit and has not accrued a liability for the claim.  As of March 2011, no further court actions have been initiated to date and our Nova Scotia legal counsel has advised that she will monitor this situation and upon discussion with Victory ATM legal counsel will make application to the courts to have the claim initiated against Vencash terminated.

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 13 – Subsequent Events

In December 2011, the Company is in the process of negotiations with the third party investor potentially purchasing part or all of the ATM estate.  Management is expecting the transaction to be completed by the end of the second quarter 2012.

In January 2012, the Company received a copy of notice of garnishment from the bank institution against one of the subsidiaries Vencash’s bank account for the total amount not to exceed $31,649 CDN.  The garnishment is related to a claim filed by the Company’s former distributor Peter Gregory back in May 2004 for wrongful dismissal as disclosed in note 10. 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 is in consultation with legal counsel, and upon completion of the review will respond to any further action.

Note 14 – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and had a working capital deficit and a stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2011 and 2010.  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, the management is in the process of restructuring, reorganization and consolidation of all its operations as a whole in order to save costs.  In addition, there is no demand for payment on the accounts payable to related parties of $1,081,259 and shareholder loans of $285,194 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  9.     CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
 
None.
 
ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Report was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions for Form 10-K.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. This is because a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in connection with generally accepted accounting principles, including those policies and procedures that:
 
     
 
-
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
     
 
-
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
     
 
-
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
26
 
 

 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of the prevention or detection of misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2011. There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
 
Although management did not conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, it has concluded that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are not effective due to material audit adjustments. This is based on the fact that we have only 15 employees. As noted in this Annual Report, we have limited resources available. As we obtain additional funding and employ additional personnel, we will implement programs to ensure the proper segregation of duties and reporting channels. 
 
Our independent public accountant has not conducted an audit of our controls and procedures regarding internal control over financial reporting and expresses no opinion with regards to the effectiveness or implementation of our controls and procedures with regards to internal control over financial reporting.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) provides information on the compensation programs established for our "Named Executive Officers" during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. All information provided herein should be read in conjunction with the tables provided below.

Our Board of Directors is responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring the policies governing compensation for our executives.  Currently our Board does not have a compensation committee.  Our officers are members of our Board of Directors and are able to vote on matters of compensation.  We are not currently under any legal obligation to establish a compensation committee and have elected not to do so at this time.  In the future, we may establish a compensation committee if the Board determines it to be advisable or we are otherwise required to do so by applicable law, rule or regulation. During the year ended December 31, 2011 our Board did not employ any outside consultants to assist in carrying out its responsibilities with respect to executive compensation, although we have access to general executive compensation information regarding both local and national industry compensation practices.  In future periods we may participate in regional and national surveys that benchmark executive compensation by peer group factors such as company size, annual revenues, market capitalization and geographical location.

The executive employment market in general is very competitive due to the number of companies with whom we compete to attract and retain executive and other staff with the requisite skills and experience to carry out our strategy and to maintain compliance with multiple Federal and State regulatory agencies.  Many of these companies have significantly greater economic resources than our own. Our Board has recognized that our compensation packages must be able to attract and retain highly talented individuals that are committed to our goals and objectives, without at this time paying cash salaries that are competitive with some of our peers with greater economic resources.  Our compensation structure is weighted towards equity compensation in the form of options to acquire common stock, which the Board believes motivates and encourages executives to pursue strategic opportunities while managing the risks involved in our current business stage, and aligns compensation incentives with value creation for our shareholders.

Components of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our current executive compensation program is entirely salary based.  In the future we intend to incorporate additional components we believe are necessary in order for the Company to provide a competitive compensation package relative to our peers and to provide an appropriate mix between short-term and long-term cash and non-cash compensation. Elements of our future executive compensation are likely to include:

     o    Base Salary
     o    Stock Awards
     o    Other benefits available to all employees
     o    Items specific to our President and Chief Executive Officer per an employment agreement

Base Salary: At present we do not have a salary structure for employees and Executives, and amounts are based on skill set, knowledge and responsibilities.  Base salaries may be established as necessary. During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Chief Executive Officers received a salary increase of $15,607.

Stock Awards:  A portion of compensation paid to our executives will be equity based.  We believe equity compensation helps align the interests of our executives with the interests of our shareholders. In that regard, our executives' compensation is subject to downside risk in the event that our common stock price decreases. In addition, we believe stock awards provide incentives to aid in the retention of key executives.  Stock compensation awards were granted to directors during the year ending December 31, 2010.

Other Benefits: Our Executive Officers and employees receive group benefits plan.

ITEM 12.    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth information concerning the beneficial ownership of our outstanding common and preferred stock as of March 31, 2012 for: each of our directors and executive officers individually; each person or group that we know owns beneficially more than five percent (5%) of our common stock; and all directors and executive officers as a group.
 
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act defines the term, “beneficial ownership”. Under this rule, the term includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting and/or investment power. The rules also deem common stock subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days, to be outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options, but do not deem such stock to be outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The applicable percentage of ownership for each shareholder is based on 95,249,344 shares of common stock and 70,855,900 shares of preferred stock outstanding as of March 31, 2012 together with applicable options for that shareholder. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe the beneficial owners of the common stock listed below, based on information furnished by them, have sole voting and investment power over the number of shares listed opposite their names.
