We are ITEX CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation. We operate the ITEX MARKETPLACE, in which products and services are exchanged by ITEX members utilizing ITEX DOLLARS. ITEX dollars are only usable within the Marketplace and allow thousands of member businesses ("Members" or "ITEX Members") to acquire products and services without exchanging cash. We service our member businesses through our independent licensed broker and franchise network in the United States and Canada. We administer the ITEX Marketplace and provide recordkeeping and payment transaction processing services for our members. We generate revenue by charging members percentage-based transaction fees, association fees, and other fees assessed in United States dollars and Canadian dollars where applicable. We authorize our franchisees to offer membership in and to promote transaction activity through the ITEX Marketplace. This is done under the "ITEX" brand. Franchisees may offer membership in the ITEX Marketplace to businesses and individuals for a fee.
