Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this presentation and responses to various questions includes forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein,
including statements regarding the continued growth in our core platform, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,”
“may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and
similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking
statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect
our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Important factors that could cause actual results
to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include: issues that affect the functionality of our mobile application with
popular mobile operating systems, any changes in such operating systems that degrade our mobile application’s functionality and
other unexpected issues which could adversely affect usage on mobile devices, the willingness of our users to purchase virtual credits
on their mobile devices, changes in consumer preference that adversely affect the smart phone penetration of the market, and
acceptance of our new brand in Latin America and globally. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our filings with the
SEC, including the Form 10-Q for the quarter’s ended March 31, 2012, June 30 and September 30, 2012 and the Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2011. Any forward-looking statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors
or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of
them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future
developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Both Platforms Must Improve Internationally
Both iOS and Android are overly reliant on a faulty expectation that everyone
    has a credit card – need to support popular local payment methods,

  • 2. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this presentation and responses to various questions includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, including statements regarding the continued growth in our core platform, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include: issues that affect the functionality of our mobile application with popular mobile operating systems, any changes in such operating systems that degrade our mobile application’s functionality and other unexpected issues which could adversely affect usage on mobile devices, the willingness of our users to purchase virtual credits on their mobile devices, changes in consumer preference that adversely affect the smart phone penetration of the market, and acceptance of our new brand in Latin America and globally. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-Q for the quarter’s ended March 31, 2012, June 30 and September 30, 2012 and the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Any forward-looking statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
