1.1 The Company
Kiwibox.Com,
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19,
1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed
its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009, the
Company changed its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.
On August
16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media,
Inc.
The
Company, its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. were separate
legal entities until December 31, 2009, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly
owned subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constituted
a minority interest which was valued at $0. On December 31, 2009, the two
subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged into the
Company.
Prior to
the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary
product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously
marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal
year 2006, Company management concluded that the marketplace for the Company’s
ergonomic software products was not developing, and would not develop to the
material extent necessary in the next 12 to 24 months, to support and sustain
the Company’s sales efforts. Accordingly, management determined that it would be
in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to identify another
business opportunity and pursue it for the benefit of our shareholders. On
February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another
business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the
owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and
business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and
into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three
shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the
outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for
cancellation and
received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing.
Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of
Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving
corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information
Systems, Inc.
The
Company is currently subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has the authority to
issue an aggregate of One Billion Four Hundred Million (1,400,000,000) Common
Shares, par value $.0001, following an increase from 700,000,000 shares,
authorized by the shareholders of the Company on January 29, 2009, and Three
Million (3,000,000) Preferred Shares, par value $.001, of which at December 31,
2009, Two Thousand Five Hundred (2,500) were designated as Cumulative Preferred
Shares, par value $.001; Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) were designated as
Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; Three Hundred
Fifty Thousand (350,000) were designated as Series B Senior Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; One Hundred Twenty Thousand (120,000) were
designated as Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001;
Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) were designated as Series D Senior Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001; Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) were
designated as Series E Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, and
Forty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Ten (43,610) were designated Series G Senior
Convertible Preferred Stock
As of
December 31, 2009, there were outstanding 478,168,060 Common Shares, 1
Cumulative Preferred Share, and 85,890 Convertible Preferred
Shares.

Description
of Business
Overview
Prior to
the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary
product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously
marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal
year 2006, Company management concluded that the marketplace for the Company’s
ergonomic software products was not developing, and would not develop to the
material extent necessary in the next 12 to 24 months, to support and sustain
the Company’s sales efforts. Accordingly, management determined that it would be
in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to identify another
business opportunity and pursue it for the benefit of our shareholders. On
February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another
business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the
owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and
business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and
into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three
shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the
outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for
cancellation and
received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing.
Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of
Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving
corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information
Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009 Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. changed
its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.
We own
and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website. Initially launched in
1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking website dedicated to teen users
and young adults. The Kiwibox website provides online content in several
categories produced by users. We have formed a user-based contingent of
contributors that submit, review and comment upon content and articles from all
over the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Kiwibox has a
regional-based advertising-system that allows target-group-optimized ads for
advertisers and sponsors.
History
Kiwibox.com
was founded in 1999 by three students attending Carnegie Mellon University.
Kiwibox.com was built as an online destination for teens, combining editorial
content with interactive community features. Kiwibox.com produces a
“For Teen by Teens” Online Magazine, and currently has over one-thousand (1,000)
active member contributors and editors. This user generated entertainment
content is managed though a proprietary Kiwibox.com editorial system that is
unique to Kiwibox.com, and is highly acclaimed by the user
base. Acceptance of this model was demonstrated through exponential
membership growth during the first two years of operations. This membership
growth required better access to entertainment and content sources, advertisers,
and business partners, thus in 2000 the Kiwibox operations relocated from
Pittsburgh to New York City. When the 2001 “dot-com” bubble burst in
2001 many Internet advertising agencies as well as Kiwibox competitors were
forced out of business. In response Kiwibox.com reduced its
operations and focused on maintaining and growing its membership community,
while establishing itself as a highly trusted and safe website
..
Kiwibox
Operations
In the
United States alone the teenage population is approximately 44 Million, as
estimated by the US Census Bureau, and they spent over $189 billion in 2006
according to eMarketer.
Spending by and on teens is projected to grow to $208 billion by
2011. To reach teens online, marketers will increasingly look to
social networks. According to eMarketer, advertising on
social networking websites is projected to be over $2 billion for 2008 and to
grow to over $4 billion by 2011. Today’s teenagers are the first
generation to grow up with social networks where the new focus is to be always
online and connected with your friends. In fact, according to the Pew Internet
and American Life Project, 83 percent of U.S. teenagers are online. And although
there are a number of websites that have targeted this large marketplace no one
site has yet to dominate it. We will strive through technology and content
enhancements to make the Kiwibox.com website one of the most exciting social
networks in the United States
4
In
mid-year 2009 we started a review process to identify new user preferences and
trends in the market, partially driven by the growing presence of social
websites such as facebook, mySpace, and Twitter. We also started to investigate
the newest web technologies and to actively look for potential strategic
partners.
In
October 2009 we began trials and test runs of our web site on a new platform
based on most recent web technologies. This project encompasses
the utilization of modern user tools including integrated mail systems and a
proprietary messaging system, all designed to significantly increase average
on-line times of users which should project favorably on our revenue
profile. Concurrently, we improved Web 2.0 Technology user
friendliness and usability of web site features by means of
AJAX-Technology. In addition, we integrated features found in other
social networks such as Blogging, Messaging, Live-Tickers, Chat, Photo tagging,
and Event Submission. Inclusion of regional events calendars with participant
listings and „Kiwi-Shots“ are intended to motivate users to frequent log-ins and
interactive use of the website.
Overall,
we equipped the entire website with the newest state-of-the-art advertising
features which enable sponsors to self-direct their message to specific target
audiences based on gender, age, geographic region, education, and interests.
That also included a Google optimization with privacy options which improves
Google search results. Special attention was given to end up with a
scaleable and highly redundant system that can accommodate future
growth. One of the most important features of a social network
website is the Search and „be found“ function. Here we completely updated our
member search function to facilitate friends searches and establish networks of
users on a global basis.
Potential
Revenue Streams and Marketing Strategy
Currently
we generate the majority of our revenue from
advertising/sponsorships. Although we anticipate average web
advertising CPM (click per thousand) rates to decrease in 2010, revenue growth
is expected as the revitalized site is launched, membership activity increases
and new planned marketing strategies are implemented.
With the
integration of target-group optimized advertising we seek to accommodate
potential advertisers, recognizing and responding to the importance of a
contact-price in relation to the internet target “cloud”. It is getting more and
more important to get access to the right target group and know how to direct
advertising – and this is only possible in social networks.
Community
means social network – and this lives from networking. Our new website is based
on the latest web technology which makes it easier for users to stay connected
and to interact with each other. In addition, our website features
and contents spectrum are designed to enlarge our potential user audience
through inclusion of the “Young Adults” segment.
Safety
Kiwibox.com
has developed a proprietary monitoring model which assists in maintaining a safe
site for our member base, combining both technology based systems and user
moderation. Over the last 9 years our team has selected trusted long
term members to become “Helpers” known on the Kiwibox.com site as “Guides”.
These Guides utilize internal Kiwibox provided tools to remove inappropriate
content as needed, guide and warn users, and continually scan the site for
unsafe content or user activity. These helpers have an icon next to their
username denoting that they are a KiwiHelper, thus users who believe they are
not being treated respectfully, or otherwise feel uncomfortable, may easily find
and reach a Guide to gain their assistance. If a Guide deems that a
user or site issue requires further escalation, they in turn immediately contact
Kiwibox personnel, which then evaluate and resolve the issue.
5
In order
to counter inherent problems in this area, our Kiwibox website already benefits
from various safety features built right into the technology platform. This
involves the private sphere configuration of users, contact blocks in case of
larger age differentials, and anti-spam protection, as well as an intelligent
self-learning user-scoring feature.
Competition
Our
primary competitors are other youth targeted online social networks, including
Facebook.com, MyYearbook.com, and MySpace.com. MySpace and Facebook are widely
considered the industry leaders, however, recently statistics and strategic
announcements from both companies has indicated a shift in the target audience
from teens and college students to a much broader and more adult demographic,
because of their international focus. We plan to distinguish
ourselves by targeting the US-market and by combining the social-network
advantages with user generated content – from users to users.
Intellectual
Property
We
currently do not own any patents, trademarks, or licenses of any kind. However,
the copyright on the Kiwibox.com web and mobile software and other related
intellectual property rights are important assets. We hold the
Internet domain names Kiwibox.com, Kiwibox.net, Kiwibox.org, Kiwibox.info,
Kiwibox.us, Kiwibox.mobi, Kiwiboxinc.com, and 4kiwi.com.
Governmental
Regulations
Our
Kiwibox website operations are subject to state, federal and international laws,
rules and regulations that cover on-line business, privacy policies, consumer
protection and product marketing. The Kiwibox website business is subject to
state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations applicable to
online commerce, including user privacy policies, product pricing policies,
website content and general consumer protection laws. Various laws, rules
and regulations have been adopted, and probably will be adopted in the future,
that apply to the Internet, including available online content, privacy
concerns, online marketing, “spam” and unsolicited commercial email, taxation
issues, and regulations that effect and monitor the quality of products and
services.
A portion
of these laws, rules and regulations that concern the Internet and its uses have
been only recently adopted. Courts and administrative agencies have not yet
fully interpreted these legal requirements as to their application and scope.
Accordingly, our Kiwibox website business is subject to the uncertainties of
future interpretations and application of these legal requirements. The
application and interpretation of these legal requirements or the passage of new
and/or revised laws, rules and regulations could reduce the demand for Kiwibox
website services, increase its operational costs, and expose it to potential
liability. Any such events, could have a material adverse effect upon our
Kiwibox website business and financial condition. Our failure, or that of our
business partners, to accurately predict and anticipate the interpretation or
application of these laws, rules and regulations, whether now in force or
adopted in the future, could have a detrimental impact on our
operations, create negative publicity for us and expose us to potential
liability.
State and
federal agencies are applying consumer protection laws to regulate the on-line
use, collection and dissemination of personal information and website content.
These laws require us to implement programs to notify our website users of our
privacy and security programs. Consumer protection laws will require us to
obtain the consent of our website users if we want to collect and use certain
portions of their personal information.
6
The
Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is the lead federal agency monitoring Internet
websites and their content. State attorneys general have become active monitors
of the Internet at the local State level. These governmental bodies may
investigate or bring enforcement actions against website operators they deem in
violation of applicable consumer protection laws. We believe that our Kiwibox
website’s collection and dissemination of information programs, including our
privacy policies, do and will continue to comply with existing laws. However, a
decision by a federal or state agency that any of our Kiwibox website’s business
practices do not meet applicable legal standards could result in liability and
have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition.
Employees
Currently,
we have 4 full-time and 3 part-time employees. Our plans for hiring additional
personnel during 2010 are not yet firmed up.
ITEM
1.A: RISKS RELATED TO OUR
BUSINESS
Early
Stage Company; Generation of Revenues
Kiwibox.Com,
Inc. (“Kiwibox” or “the Company”) can be considered an early stage
company and investors can not reasonably assume that we will ever be profitable.
As an early stage company, we are likely to continue to have financial
difficulties for the foreseeable future. We may successfully re-develop our
website operations and generate additional revenues but still be unable to
achieve profitability. Kiwibox had devoted substantial funds to develop its
website, but investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that
Kiwibox will ever achieve revenues that exceed its operational costs. We may not
obtain the funding necessary to provide Kiwibox with the working capital
necessary to continue to develop and market its website. Moreover, the
Kiwibox.com website may not receive sufficient internet traffic to increase
revenues or achieve profitability.
Doubt
Raised About our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
Our
financial statements have been presented on the basis that we will remain a
going concern and that our assets will increase and that we will satisfy our
liabilities in the normal course of our business. Kiwibox has had minimal
revenues and has incurred operating losses during the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Our independent auditors have concluded that
these factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, among other
factors, on our continued success in raising capital.
Need
for Additional Capital; Short-Term Viability of Company
Our operations require immediate
investment of equity capital or loans to continue to operate. If we can not
secure funds in the short-term, we will be required to close our entire business
operations and our website. Assuming we can receive a current investment
or loans to fund our immediate operational needs, our Kiwibox website business’s
future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the degree to
which teenagers use the kiwibox.com Website and the degree to which Kiwibox is
able to generate revenues from users of its site. We expect to require
additional financing before we achieve a profitable level of operations,
however, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable
terms, or at all. If we elect to sell equity to raise additional funds,
there is no assurance that additional equity can be sold on terms favorable to
the Company and to its existing shareholders, with the result that existing
shareholders may incur substantial dilution. Without the necessary funding, we
may be required to delay, reduce or terminate some or all of our Kiwibox website
business or our efforts to obtain additional funding.
No
Formal Feasibility and Market Research Plan
We have
collected data and statistics concerning the potential market for the
Kiwibox.com website and the costs of marketing our services. We have relied
principally on the judgment and conclusions of our management, based on their
respective knowledge and experiences. We have not performed any formal marketing
study that confirms any absolute demand for the services we are providing on our
Kiwibox.com website.
7
Unpredictability
of Future Revenues; Potential Downturns in Operating Results
Due to
Kiwibox’s minimal revenues since inception and the uncertainty of revenues that
may be generated through potential partners and alliances, we are currently
unable to forecast our future revenues with accuracy. Our current and
future operational costs are based primarily on our marketing and website
development plans and our estimates of future revenues. Our potential
advertising and joint marketing sales results are difficult to forecast at this
stage. It will be difficult for us to realign our operational expenses
should future revenue forecasts not materialize which would require that we
curtail or cease certain aspects of our operations. Accordingly, if our future
revenues are insufficient to fund our planned operations, such a shortfall could
have an immediate adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition
and results of operations.
We may
experience cyclical downturns in our future operating results due to various
factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of the factors that could
impact our operating results include: (a) our ability to attract and retain new
members to our Kiwibox.com website; (b) new developments by our competitor
websites; (c) advertising and product price competition; (d) our ability to
develop enhancements to our website, upgrade its internet functionality and
services; (e) our ability to attract and retain necessary personnel; (f)
difficulties with our software or hardware equipment, including any
interruptions in the development and maintenance of our internet equipment and
related infrastructure systems related to our Kiwibox.com website; (g) the
future impact of governmental rules, regulations and laws, and; (h) general
economic conditions.
Website
and Service Development Risks
The
continuing development of our Kiwibox.com website is a highly complex technical
process. We are presently in the process of designing and implementing a wide
array of feature and contents enhancements in order to remain competitive in our
teen marketplace. If we are unable to develop and introduce new services or
enhancements to our website in a timely manner in response to changing market
conditions or customer requirements, our business, prospects, operating results
and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Limited
Senior Management Team; Potential Problems with Expanding Personnel
We have a
limited number of senior management personnel, planning, developing and managing
our website business. We are in the process of expanding our website operations
to accommodate potential growth in our membership and marketplace. We will
experience significant pressure on our financial resources and management
personnel as a result of the current expansion. In order to manage this
expansion, we may be required to adopt new operating procedures, develop new
advertising and marketing plans, financial controls and procedures and policies
to supervise a growing employee population. We will also be required to attract,
retain and properly administer the expansion of our employee population.
Investors should be aware that we may not be able to adequately manage all of
these new developments in our expansion, in which case our operations, business
prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
Competition
Our
website business in the teen marketplace is highly competitive. We can give no
assurances that our website business will effectively compete with the more
established teen websites currently operating in this
marketplace.
8
Many of
our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, established
brand names and significantly larger membership and customer bases and we expect
our competition to only intensify.
Dependence
on Management
The
Kiwibox.com website’s success will be substantially dependent on the continued
services and on the performance of our current senior management. We will also
be dependent upon our ability to retain and provide incentives for our
management team. The loss of services of any one or more of our senior
management team could have a material adverse affect on our operating results,
business prospects and financial condition.
Our
success will be dependent, in large part, on the services of our principal
officers and employees. The loss of any of these individuals could have a
material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. We do
not maintain “key-man” life insurance policies on the lives of our officers to
compensate us in the event of their deaths.
Except
for issues that require shareholder approval, investors should be aware that
they will have no vote on our operations, business developments or any
management issues, including expansion, website enhancements or personnel
decisions. You should not invest in our company unless you understand that all
business and operational decisions are made by our management.
Creation
of Brand Awareness
It will
be crucial to the economic success of our Kiwibox.com website that we promote
and establish brand awareness. A successful brand awareness campaign will tend
to decrease our marketing expenses over time. If we are not able to adequately
establish our brand in our marketplace, our operating results, market growth and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Potential
for Defects in our Products and Services
Our
Kiwibox.com website, its functionality, product offerings and services may
contain defects or problems yet undetected. Such defects or problems
could delay the launch of our new Kiwibox.com website, generate negative public
comment and inhibit marketplace acceptance, any one or more of which could have
a material adverse affect on our operating results and financial
condition.
Penny
Stock Regulation
Our
common shares are subject to the “penny stock rules” that require broker-dealers
who sell our shares to make specific disclosures before selling to certain
persons. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the risk associated therewith as well as
the written consent of the purchaser of such security prior to engaging in a
penny stock transaction. These penny stock restrictions will continue to apply
as long as the Company’s common stock continues to trade at market prices below
$5.00. Investors should be aware that the regulations on penny stocks may
significantly restrict the ability of any purchaser of our common shares to sell
his or her Company common shares in the market.
Absence
of Dividends
We have
not paid any dividends on our common stock and we are not likely to do so in the
foreseeable future. We presently intend to retain earnings for use in growing
our business. We may pay for some of our future expansion through debt
financing, in which case lenders traditionally prohibit the payment of any such
dividends. We also are prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock
before we have paid all dividends accrued on our preferred stock, which accruals
amounted to $479,339 at December 31, 2009. Investors should be aware, therefore,
that the Company intends to re-invest any earnings back into our business for
the foreseeable future and that they should have no expectations of receiving
any dividends on the common shares they may purchase.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT PURSUANT TO "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
The
information in this annual report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such Act
provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies
to provide prospective information about their businesses so long as they
identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary
statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to
differ from the projected results. All statements other than those statements of
historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the
statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations
or financial position are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our
actual results may differ significantly from management’s
expectations.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of Kiwibox.Com, Inc., included herewith. This
discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein
will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein
will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such
discussion represents only the best present assessment of our
management.
Description of
Business
In
mid-year 2009 we started a review process to identify new user preferences and
trends in the market, partially driven by the growing presence of social
websites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. We also started to investigate
the newest web technologies and to actively look for potential strategic
partners.
In
October 2009 we began trials and test runs of our web site on a new platform
based on most recent web technologies. This project encompasses
the utilization of modern user tools including integrated mail systems and a
proprietary messaging system, all designed to significantly increase average
on-line times of users which should project favorably on our revenue
profile. Concurrently, we improved Web 2.0 Technology user
firendliness and usability of web site features by means of
AJAX-Technology.
13
In
addition, we integrated features found in other social networks such as
Blogging, Messaging, Live-Tickers, Chat, Photo tagging, and Event Submission.
Inclusion of regional events calendars with participant listings and “Kiwi-Shots” are intended to
motivate users to frequent log-ins and interactive use of the website. Overall,
we equipped the entire website with the newest state-of-the-art advertising
features which enable sponsors to self-direct their message to specific target
audiences based on gender, age, geographic region, education, and interests.
That also included a Google optimization with privacy options which improves
Google search results. Special attention was given to end up with a
scaleable and highly redundant system that can accommodate future
growth.
Currently
we generate the majority of our revenue from
advertising/sponsorships. Although we anticipate average
web advertising CPM (click per thousand) rates to decrease in 2010,
revenue growth is expected as the revitalized site is launched, membership
activity increases and new planned marketing strategies are
implemented.
With the
integration of target-group optimized advertising we seek to accommodate
potential advertisers , recognizing and responding to the importance of a
contact-price in relation to the internet target “cloud”. It is getting more and
more important to get access to the right target group and know how to direct
advertising – and this is only possible in social networks.
Results of Operations for
the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended
December 31, 2008
The
Company had no material revenues during 2009 and 2008. Our website
presence is not yet supported by a volume of active members-users that would
provide a basis for significant growth in advertising revenues. For the year
ended December 31, 2009, total revenues amounted to $50,450 compared to $59,421
in 2008. Revenues were derived entirely from the Kiwibox
operations.
Gross
profits amounted to $11,683 after considering $38,767 in website hosting
expenses. After deducting selling, research, and general and
administrative expenses of $1,621,639 compared to the $6,229,283 recorded in
2008, the Company realized an operating loss of $1,609,956 compared to an
operating loss of $6,206,870 in 2008. Included in SG&A expenses
for 2008 was a position of $3,138,751 attributable to the impairment of goodwill
previously capitalized in connection with the acquisition of the Kiwibox
business. Excluding this charge the 2008 operating expenses would have been
$3,090,532. On this basis, management’s efforts to reduce costs and streamline
operations clearly showed the desired effect even though some cost savings
measures such as a reduction in staffing and non-essential expenditures took
effect only during the course of the year. For the year 2010 management expects
a further reduction in total operating expenses which, coupled with an expected
increase in revenues, will start a process of putting the company on a path
towards eventually eliminating the erosion of shareholder value.
The major
item included in non-operating income and expenses was a charge of $600,000
accounting for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature
associated with convertible debt. In addition, the Company arrived at a
settlement with a former principal of its Kiwibox subsidiary which among other,
entailed the write off of a $131,262 loan to that shareholder, transacted during
the time before the Company acquired Kiwibox Media Inc. We also incurred a
charge of $77,806 in connection with changes in the valuation of derivative
liabilities, and income of $114,597 from the extinguishment of debt, consisting
of $76,855 owed to a director and $37,742 from extinguishments of other company
obligations. The year concluded with a net loss of $2,440,465. After
accounting for dividends accrued on outstanding preferred stock which totaled
$51,263 the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $2,491,728 or $0.006
per share, compared to a loss of $5,545,096 or $0.015 per share for the previous
year.
14
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
We have
financed our business with new debt and equity capital since our cash flow is
insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We
recorded $815,000 in cash from subscriptions for new equity capital from
accredited private investors during 2009. In addition, we received $1,540,000
from short-term loans. We also retired $730,000 of short term debt. We have
an urgent need for working capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to
immediately receive new equity investments or obtain loans, we will not be able
to fund our operations and we will be required to close our
business.
Our
deficit in working capital amounted to $2,226,345 at December 31, 2009, as
compared to $5,148,331 at December 31, 2008. Stockholders’ equity
showed an impairment of $2,169,971 at the end of the year, compared to an
impairment of $5,048,621 at the beginning of the year. The relative improvement
stems primarily from the elimination of $3,408,618 in derivative liabilities
associated with the conversion of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock in
February 2009 which reflected directly in the equity column. The negative cash
flow from operations totaled $1,586,512 and was substantially financed by new
debt and equity which was obtained through private placements. The new equity
placements were consummated by issuance of common stock and warrants to
accredited investors. Details of such transactions can be found in the “Changes
and Issuance of Securities” sections in the Company’s quarterly reports on Forms
10-Q during the year, as well as in the pertinent section of this
report.
We have
no bank debt and aside from trade payables and accruals, our indebtedness at
December 31, 2009, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating $1,130,000.
The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $132,900 includes $76,900
for common shares and options accrued for certain officers and directors
pursuant to their respective employment and remuneration agreements, and $56,000
for stock and warrants due under consulting agreements. Current liabilities also
include $479,339 accrued unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such
dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from
operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby
unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its
business.
Our
current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near
future will be insufficient to fund our operations and website development and
marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements
with further investments in form of debt or equity capital and are in
discussions with potential investors. There can be no assurance, however, that
we will be able to identify a financing source or sources and if we do, whether
the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially
reasonable.
Absent
the receipt of immediate
equity investment or loans, we will be compelled to close our business
operations. Absent the receipt of sufficient funds, our website
development, results of operations and financial condition could be subject to
material adverse consequences. There can be no assurance that we will find
alternative funding for the working capital required to finance on-going
operations.
Subsequent Events – Fiscal
Year 2010
During
February 2010 we received an aggregate $125,000 in equity capital from
subscriptions for “units’ consisting of common stock shares and stock purchase
warrants (see “Recent Issues of Unregistered Securities”
above).

Management
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

assurance that: (i) the Company’s transactions are properly
authorized; (ii) the Company’s assets are protected against unauthorized or
improper use, and (iii) the Company’s transactions are properly recorded and
reported, all to permit the preparation of complete and accurate financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Since the
date of the most recent evaluation of the Company’s internal controls by the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there have not been any
significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or other factors for the
period covered by the subject Form 10-K that materially affected or were likely
to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

the entire board of directors. Mr. Otzen and Mr. Klaube are financial experts
with knowledge of financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles
and accounting procedures and disclosure rules. Mr. Klaube is not “independent”
as defined in Section10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A) of the Securities Exchange
Act.
COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING
COMMITTEES
Our board
of directors intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are
required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national
securities exchanges. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will
eventually be independent directors. Additionally, our board of directors is
expected to appoint a nominating committee and a compensation committee, and to
adopt charters relative to each such committee. Until further determination by
the Board, the full Board of Directors will undertake the duties of the
compensation committee and nominating committee.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS
|
During
2009 and 2008, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the
Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid or incurred an aggregate
$185,000 and $256,800, respectively, for legal services. We also granted options
for 900,000 shares, exercisable at $0.05 during four years, to this director
during 2009.
A former
director was paid $30,000 during 2008 for business consulting
services.
During
the second quarter in 2008, we paid $24,000 to a major shareholder for investor
relations services.
In June
2008, we granted options for 2,500,000 shares, exercisable at $0.025 during five
years, to four officers and directors of the Company.
In
August, 2008, we issued an aggregate 30,560,000 restricted common shares to the
three Kiwibox principals pursuant to our Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
dated February 19, 2007, and subsequent amendments, as
disclosed in our report and exhibit, filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2008.
On August
17, 2008, one of the three Kiwibox Shareholders resigned his employment. As part
of this agreement, his outstanding stock options were cancelled and the
consultant entered into an agreement that provided for his future services to
the Company as an independent consultant for six months at $12,500 per month. On
September 5, 2008, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with the
consultant whereby the Company forgave the balance of loans due from the former
shareholder in the balance of $155,459 for $75,000 in cash and by offsetting of
$75,000 of notes payable due to the former shareholder. The difference of $5,459
was treated as additional compensation. On October 30, 2008, the Company
terminated its the employment agreement with Lin Dai for cause. In the process,
his 10,300,000 stock options were cancelled. On December 8, 2008, Mr. Dai
resigned his position as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Since
this resignation, the Company has been in negotiations with Lin Dai to acquire
all of Mr. Dai's Company securities and resolve all potential claims of the
parties. Although these negotiations have ceased, neither the Company nor Mr.
Dai have formally instituted any claims against the other and it is not possible
to determine whether any claims will be instigated, or if commenced, what the
outcomes of any such litigation may be.
During
2009, we paid or incurred an aggregate $56,308 to companies controlled by the
Chief Technology Officer of the Company, for website hosting, website
development and technical advisory services, and server farm installations, and
$69,839 for promotional materials.
During
2009, the beneficial ownership in the Company’s securities held respectively, by
Tell Capital AG of Switzerland and its principal, Ulrich Schuerch on a
consolidated basis, as well as by Discover Advisory Company, located in the
Bahamas, and Cambridge Services Inc. of Switzerland, in each case amounted to
approximately 10% of the voting stock. Both Discover Advisory Company
and Cambridge Services Inc. are major creditors, having advanced operating
capital against issuance by the Company of convertible promissory notes to
during 2009. At December 31, 2009, $950,000 and $40,000 of such notes were
outstanding and owed to Discover Advisory Company and Cambridge Services Inc,
respectively (see section “Notes” in the Notes to Financial Statements, attached
hereto). Tell Capital AG was the lead investor in a $1 Million
private placement transaction consummated in late 2009 (we refer to the
Company’s filing on December 31, 2009 on Form 8-K, incorporated herein by
reference). In the process, Tell Capital AG was issued a finder’s fee payment of
$60,000.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Kiwibox.com, Inc. (f/k/a Magnitude Information Systems, Inc)
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kiwibox.com, Inc. as of December 31,
2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009.
Kiwibox.com, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Kiwibox.com, Inc. as of December
31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial
statements, the Company’s significant operating losses and significant working
capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of
Organization
Kiwibox.Com,
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19,
1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed
its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009, the
Company changed its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.
On August
16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media,
Inc.
The
Company, its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. were separate
legal entities until December 31, 2009, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly
owned subsidiary. The 1% of Magnitude, Inc. not owned by the Company constituted
a minority interest which was valued at $0. On December 31, 2009, the two
subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged into the
Company.
Prior to
the implementation of its strategic business plan in 2007, the Company’s primary
product was an integrated suite of proprietary software modules previously
marketed under the name ErgoEnterprise™. During the latter half of fiscal
year 2006, Company management concluded that the marketplace for the Company’s
ergonomic software products was not developing, and would not develop to the
material extent necessary in the next 12 to 24 months, to support and sustain
the Company’s sales efforts. Accordingly, management determined that it would be
in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to identify another
business opportunity and pursue it for the benefit of our shareholders. On
February 19, 2007, the Company, pursuant to its strategic plan to seek another
business opportunity, signed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the
owners of a social networking website, to acquire their Kiwibox.com website and
business, represented by Kiwibox Media, Inc. Pursuant to that certain Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization, in August, 2007, Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged with and
into Magnitude Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude
Information Systems, Inc., in a “reverse merger” transaction. The three
shareholders of Kiwibox Media, Inc. transferred and delivered all of the
outstanding stock of Kiwibox Media, Inc. to Magnitude Operations, Inc. for
cancellation and
received in exchange shares of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. at closing.
Also at closing and as a result of the merger, the separate legal existence of
Magnitude Operations, Inc. ceased and Kiwibox Media, Inc. became the surviving
corporation of the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnitude Information
Systems, Inc.
Cash and
cash equivalents
The
Company accounts for cash and other highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnitude Information
Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc.
through December 31, 2009. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Depreciation
Property,
plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on equipment,
furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight line method
over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 5-10 years or over the
lease term, if shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend
the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense
was $42,180 and $74,073 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Evaluation
of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In
evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their
carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset
over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows
of the related long-lived asset.
Securities
Issued for Services
The
Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services
and compensation by employees under the fair value method. For
non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of stock
issuance or option/grant is used. The Company has determined the fair
market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing
Model. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes
accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the
provisions of ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant
date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over
the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the
equity grant).
.
Reclassification
of certain securities under ASC 815-40
Pursuant
to ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s own Equity”, if a company has more than
one contract subject to this Issue, and partial reclassification is required,
there may be different methods that could be used to determine which contracts,
or portions of contracts, should be reclassified. The Company's
method for reclassification of such contracts is reclassification of contracts
with the latest maturity date first. During the first quarter of 2009, we
reclassified a position of $3,408,618 from liabilities for derivative securities
to additional paid-in capital after the indeterminate factor in connection with
the conversion clause of certain convertible preferred shares was
removed
Capitalization
of Software /Website development costs
The
Company capitalized outside-contracted development work in accordance with the
guidelines published under ASC 350-50, “Website Development
Costs”, adopted during the quarter ended March 31,
2008. Under ASC 350-50, costs incurred during the planning stage are
expensed, while costs
relating to software used to operate a web site or for developing initial
graphics should be accounted for under ASC 350-40, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, unless a plan exists or
is being developed to market the software externally. Under ASC 350-50, internal
and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the
application development stage should be capitalized. Costs to develop or obtain
software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems should
also be capitalized, excluding training costs. Fees
incurred for web site hosting, which involve the payment of a specified,
periodic fee to an Internet service provider in return for hosting the web site
on its server(s) connected to the Internet, are expensed over the period of
benefit, and included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial
statements.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASC 820, a
framework was established for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Since the number of shares issuable under the Company’s Series G
convertible preferred stock was indeterminable during the year ended December
31, 2008, the Company had measured the fair value of warrants and options
outstanding at December 31, 2008, which was determined to be $3,330,812,
measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) under a Black-Scholes
valuation method. The change in value during the twelve months ended December
31, 2009 was a loss of $77,806 and during the twelve months ended December 31,
2008 a loss of $128,159, all reported in the Statement of Operations under Other
Income (Expense).
The
Company adopted the provisions of "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities" under ASC 820, which included an amendment
with respect to improvement of financial reporting of
certain investments in debt
and equity securities. This Statement permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. The implementation of this new standard did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.
Income
Taxes
The
Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax
rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the
Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are
reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial
reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income
taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that
are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances
are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating
losses for financial- and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and
state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely
by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax
asset.
Net Loss
Per Share
Net loss
per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,”
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents
have not been included in this computation since the effect would be
anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2009, there were 10,453,542 stock options, stock
purchase warrants for 178,189,648 common shares, and 85,890 preferred shares,
convertible at the option of the holders into 729,537 common shares outstanding.
In addition, there was issued certain convertible debt which may be converted,
at the option of the holders, into up to 60,000,000 common
shares.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company’s revenue recognition policy for software sales is in accordance with
ASC 985-605 “Software Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized at the time of
licensing provided that the resulting receivable is deemed probable of
collection and is fixed or determinable. Revenue from software maintenance
contracts is recognized ratably as earned. When a sales contract includes
multiple elements, revenues are allocated to the various elements based on
Company-specific objective evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate
prices for each element that may be stated within the contract.

Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
The
Company’s revenue from its KiwiBox Media, Inc. subsidiary derives from
advertising on the KiwiBox website. Most contracts require the Company to
deliver the customer impressions, click-throughs or new customers, or some
combination thereof. Accordingly, advertising revenue is estimated and
recognized for the period in which customer impressions, click through or new
customers are delivered. Licensing or hosting revenue consists of an annual
contract with clients to provide web-site hosting and assistance.
Goodwill and Intangible
Assets
The
Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to ASC 350,
"Intangibles-Goodwill and Other". Under ASC 350, intangibles with
definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser
of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and
intangibles
with indefinite lives are evaluated at
least annually for impairment by
comparing the asset's estimated fair value with its
carrying value, based on cash flow
methodology.
The
Company’s intangible assets including goodwill are subject to impairment testing
in the event of certain indicators. Impairment in the carrying value
of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted)
from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The
amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value
of the asset and its fair value.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
principles 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 the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
2. GOING
CONCERN
The
ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing
sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Our revenues during the
foreseeable future are insufficient to finance our business and we are entirely
dependent on the willingness of existing investors to continue supporting the
Company with working capital loans and equity investments, and our ability to
find new investors should the financial support from existing investors prove to
be insufficient. If we were unable to obtain a steady flow of new debt or
equity-based working capital we would be forced to cease operation. In their
report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our auditors have made
reference to the fact that, as a result of the losses incurred, there was
substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt
capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.
3. CONCENTRATIONS
OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The
Company maintains cash balances in a financial institution which is insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Balances in
these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. At December
31, 2009, cash balances in bank accounts did not exceed this limit. The Company
provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout
the U.S. and overseas. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts
based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends, and other information.

During

and investors, to promote the Company and its website to the public markets, and
to identify potential strategic partners, acquisition opportunities, and joint

shall accrue on the Stated Value, which Stated Value shall be noted on the
certificate issued to the holder of each share of the Series E Senior
Preferred. The dividends on the Series E Senior Preferred,
payable in cash, shall be cumulative, so that if the company fails in any
fiscal year to pay such dividends on all the issued and outstanding Series
E Senior Preferred, such deficiency in the dividends shall be fully paid,
but without interest, before any dividends shall be paid on or set apart
for any other class of Preferred Stock or the Common Stock. The holders of

payable in cash or in shares of stock, securities or other consideration,
the value of which stock, securities or other consideration shall be fixed

that such remaining net assets are sufficient to cover all the before

of Common Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock of the
Company. In case such remaining net assets are insufficient to

20. RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During
2009 and 2008, one outside director of the Company who also serves as the
Company’s general and securities counsel, was paid an aggregate $180,000 and
$256,800, respectively, for legal services. During the year ended December 31,
2009, the director agreed to forgive a total of $213,570 in legal fees incurred
as of April 2009, which was treated as paid-in capital. In 2009 the director
also earned options for 900,000 restricted shares, valued at $8,910, which have
yet to be issued. The balance due to this director at December 31, 2008 was
$5,000.
During
2009 we paid our Chief Executive Officer $27,000 for outside consulting services
performed.
During
2009, we incurred an aggregate $56,308 to companies controlled by the Chief
Technology Officer of the Company, for website hosting, website development and
technical advisory services, and server farm installations, and paid $69,839 for
promotional materials.
During
2009, the beneficial ownership in the Company’s securities held respectively, by
Tell Capital AG of Switzerland and its principal, Ulrich Schuerch on a
consolidated basis, as well as by Discover Advisory Company, located in the
Bahamas, and Cambridge Services Inc. of Switzerland, in each case amounted to
approximately 10% of the voting stock. Both Discover Advisory Company
and Cambridge Services Inc. are major creditors, having advanced operating
capital against issuance by the Company of convertible promissory notes to
during 2009. At December 31, 2009, $950,000 and $40,000 of such notes were
outstanding and owed to Discover Advisory Company and Cambridge Services Inc,
respectively (see section “Notes” in the Notes to Financial Statements, attached
hereto). Tell Capital AG was the lead investor in a $1 Million
private placement transaction consummated in late 2009 (we refer to the
Company’s filing on December 31, 2009 on Form 8-K, incorporated herein by
reference). In the process, we paid a fee of $60,000 to a foreign financial
consulting firm which acted as a finder.
A former
director was paid $30,000 during 2008 for business consulting
services.
During
the second quarter in 2008, we paid $24,000 to a major shareholder for investor
relations services.
In June
2008, we granted options for 2,500,000 shares, exercisable at $0.025 during five
years, to four officers and directors of the Company.
In
August, 2008, we issued an aggregate 30,560,000 restricted common shares to the
three Kiwibox principals pursuant to our Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
dated February 19, 2007, and subsequent amendments, as
disclosed in our report and exhibit, filed on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2008.
On August
17, 2008, one of the three Kiwibox Shareholders resigned his employment. As part
of this agreement, his outstanding stock options were cancelled and the
consultant entered into an agreement that provided for his future services to
the Company as an independent consultant for six months at $12,500 per month. On
September 5, 2008, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with the
consultant whereby the Company forgave the balance of loans due from the former
shareholder in the balance of $155,459 for $75,000 in cash and by offsetting of
$75,000 of notes payable due to the former shareholder. The difference of $5,459
was treated as additional compensation. On October 30, 2008, the Company
terminated its the employment agreement with Lin Dai for cause. In the process,
his 10,300,000 stock options were cancelled. On December 8, 2008, Mr. Dai
resigned his position as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Since
this resignation, the Company has been in negotiations with Lin Dai to acquire
all of Mr. Dai's Company securities and resolve all potential claims of the
parties. Although these negotiations have ceased, neither the Company nor Mr.
Dai have formally instituted any claims against the other and it is not possible
to determine whether any claims will be instigated, or if commenced, what the
outcomes of any such litigation may be.

21. FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable,
long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations: The carrying amount
approximates fair value because of the short term maturity of these
instruments.
Limitations
Fair
value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
information and information about the financial instrument. These
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 the
estimates

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures
In
August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of liabilities at
fair value. The guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted market price in an active market for an identical liability is not
available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation
technique that uses the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an
asset or, if unavailable, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar
assets when traded as assets. If none of this information is available, an
entity should use a valuation technique in accordance with existing fair
valuation principles. We adopted the guidance in 2009, and there was no material
impact on our consolidated financial statements or related
footnotes.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for estimating fair value
when the market activity for an asset or liability has declined significantly.
We adopted the guidance in 2009 with no significant impact on our consolidated
financial statements or related footnotes. See Note 21 — Fair Value Measurements
to our consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative fair value disclosure guidance
for financial instruments. The guidance requires disclosures for interim
reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial
statements. The guidance also requires those disclosures in summarized financial
information at interim reporting periods. We adopted the guidance in 2009 with
no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or related
footnotes. See Note 21 — Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value
measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives
guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. Effective December 29, 2007, we
adopted the guidance as it applies to our financial instruments. Effective
January 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance for our non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities. The adoption of the guidance did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or related
footnotes. See Note 21 — Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial
statements.
Derivatives and
Hedging
In
March 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for enhanced disclosures
for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance. The adoption of the
guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements or
related footnotes.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
Recent Accounting
Developments
In
September 2009, FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which establishes only
two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The standard is
the exclusive source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are sources of
authoritative GAAP, for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The
standard became effective in the fourth quarter of 2009 and as it was not
intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not have any impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing
software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software
components and non-software components that function together to deliver the
product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance
on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition
guidance. This guidance should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Full retrospective
application of the new guidance is optional. This guidance must be adopted in
the same period that we adopt the amended accounting for arrangements with
multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph. We are currently
evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB amended revenue recognition guidance for
arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance eliminates the residual
method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate
of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific
objective evidence (VSOE), vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party
evidence (TPE) is unavailable. Under the guidance, non-software components
of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products have
been removed from the scope of existing software revenue recognition guidance
and will be recognized in a manner similar for other tangible products. This
guidance should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after
June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Full retrospective
application of the guidance is optional. We are currently evaluating the impact
of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2009, FASB issued authoritative guidance, which changes the
consolidation model for variable interest entities (VIEs). The standard requires
companies to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary
of a VIE based on whether the company (1) has the power to direct matters that
most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (2) has the
obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that
could potentially be significant to the VIE. The standard is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the
impact of the guidance on our results of operations and financial
position.
