Cautionary  Note  Regarding  Forward  Looking  Statements    

Certain   statements   in   this   presentation   and   responses   to   various   questions   include   forward-­‐looking  

statements,   including  statements   regarding  growth,  opportunities   for  our  business  model,  potential   revenue  

stream  from  data,  and  platform  expansion.    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  

effective   marketing   campaigns,   maintaining   and   establishing   relationships   with   partners,   our   ability   to  

successfully   replicate   our   platform   for   items   other   than   phones   and   small   consumer   electronics   and   our  

partners   providing   sufficient   customer   service   to   our   customers.     Further   information   on   our   risk   factors   is  

contained   in  our  filings  with   the  SEC,   including   the  Form  10-­‐K   for   the   year   ended  December   31,   2012.    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.

ROOTS  OF  RECOMMERCE  

“  Your  Personal    Trading  Community  ”  

“  Shop  Victoriously  ”  

�  eBay  was  the  original  “reCommerce”  marketplace  

�  Due  to  fraud  and  customer  experience  concerns,  eBay  has  become  a  shopping  platform  where  less  than  10%  of  sellers  are  individuals  

�  Power  sellers  must  now  find  inventory  elsewhere;  in  other  words,  they  must  become  “Power  Buyers”  

�  There  is  a  need  for  a  “Power  Buyers”  platform  that  enables  power  sellers  to  efficiently  acquire  inventory
