PART I

ITEM 1.                 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General
The Company was founded on September 17, 2003 in Tampa, Florida.  We were formed for the purpose of developing and marketing advanced fingerprint biometric technology and encryption software solutions.   Our biometric identification and encryption software solutions provide innovative and new ways for customers to securely access, store, send and receive confidential information.  Biometric technology is the science of analyzing specific human characteristics which are unique to each individual in order to identify a specific person from a broader population.  The use of biometrics enables enterprise and consumer users to login to different systems and applications using secure credentials based on their unique characteristics, while blocking unauthorized users.  We commenced marketing our products in the first half of 2007 following more than three years of technology and product development.  We believe that our products meet the needs of companies that require strong data, systems and applications security including financial institutions, healthcare providers, insurance companies, government agencies, utilities, eMerchants, social network providers, and any business where security and identification are key concerns.  We have invested over $12 million in the operations of the business including research and development, product development and marketing of our products.

As announced on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 27, 2012, Ceelox completed the fulfillment of the demand notice from CIP, LLC.  In this agreement, Ceelox converted over $8 million in debt to 24 million shares of common stock and turned over all intellectual property and software to CIP.  Since that time Ceelox has continued development of its business plan surrounding virtual credit card, social networking, and mobile, security.  Ceelox will continue to seek merger and acquisition candidates with synergies within these areas.  Ceelox is currently in discussions with CIP and will seek to license and/or purchase the intellectual property from CIP as appropriate to complete their new product rollout.

The Market and Our Opportunity
The identity and authentication Security Market is a multi-billion dollar market that is experiencing explosive growth.  Identity-based access control is a growing concern for IT and Information Security professionals driven by increasing regulation, cybercrime and identity theft, and the need to protect consumer personally identifiable information, personal electronic health information, and confidential business information from data breach.  Recent national security issues are also driving demand for more effective identity solutions.  We believe that Ceelox, with its focus on the credit card/financial banking transactions, social networking, and mobile markets and corresponding business strategies, is favorably positioned to exploit this growth and fulfill the need for stronger user access authentication tools.

Passwords, the most common form of user authentication in use, are the weakest form of authentication and are costly to administer and support.  The Company’s biometric logical access control products replace weak username and password authentication.  In the large and medium enterprise market, smart cards and tokens provide a more secure user authentication.  VASCO Data Security International has sized the 2013 security token authentication market at $4.5 billion.   Our products and solutions compete with token solutions.  Tokens are costly, inconvenient for users, can be lost, misplaced, stolen and compromised.  Ceelox believes it can penetrate and expand the security token authentication market.  The Company’s identity-based access authentication products provide stronger security, are easier to use, cannot be lost, forgotten or stolen, cannot be replayed, and are more cost effective.

Weaknesses Addressed by Ceelox
Historically, businesses have relied heavily on passwords to control access to internal and customer-facing applications.  It is now commonly accepted that passwords alone are no longer a safe method of access control because of the numerous weaknesses associated with their use.  Passwords are the most common authentication mechanism and the weakest.  Since ‘strong’ passwords are difficult to remember, users often weaken password security by writing them down and hiding them in obvious places.  The FDIC and FTC regulations now require financial institutions, as well as any business that collects, uses, and stores individuals’ personal information, to identify and address reasonably foreseeable internal and external threats that could result in unauthorized disclosure of customer information.  The following known password weaknesses identified by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council, must be addressed, if institutions are to remain within the law.


 
4

 


Known Password Weaknesses:
·     
Keylogger attacks through which a monitoring device is placed on the user computer to capture passwords for the attacker;
·     
Dictionary and brute force attacks through which the attacker obtains the system password file and compares the hashed password against hashes of commonly used passwords;
·     
Password guessing attacks used with some knowledge about the account holder and the bank’s password policies;
·     
Social engineering attacks used to trick the user into giving up their password;
·     
Phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks lure users to fake bank sites for the purpose of identity theft;
·     
Relay attacks through which an attacker eavesdrops on communications between customer and the financial institution to obtain username and password information.
·     
Pass phrases are subject to nearly all the same password weaknesses above although may require additional time or attempts on the part of the hacker.
·      
Internet banking authentication presents unique challenges, because banks do not benefit from physical security and controlled computing and communications; the bank cannot control the user; and passwords are more likely to be static and significantly more vulnerable.
·     
Warehouse attacks result in the compromise of a storage system using one or more attack methods described above.  Warehouse attacks typically compromise an entire authentication system or worse, an entire customer database as was the case with the TJX data breach that exposed

Token systems have these inherent weaknesses, also identified by the FFIEC:
·     
Tokens can be lost or stolen during delivery or while in the possession of the end user;
·     
Ease in guessing any password-generating algorithm within the token;
·     
Ease in forging authentication credentials that unlock the token;
·     
Tokens have been reverse engineered and cloned;
·     
Tokens are subject to man-in-the-middle and phishing attacks;
·     
And like passwords, tokens can be shared.

Every one of the above threats, hazards and weaknesses are either completely eliminated or greatly reduced with Ceelox biometric authentication and access control.  Keyloggers cannot capture a biotemplate rendering dictionary and brute force attacks useless.  Internet banking is more secure, because a password, compromised by phishing or social engineering, is useless without a biotemplate captured during a live scan.  Ceelox also has none of the above token weaknesses.  Management believes its Parallel Key Infrastructure provides the strongest available protection of the biometric credential in a network application.  And current state-of-the-art fingerprint biometric technology used by Ceelox, makes forging biotemplate authentication nearly impossible, because a live scan is required.

The need for low cost, efficient access security is a competitive necessity for all businesses.  Not only is Ceelox security economical, but with Ceelox ID™, businesses can eliminate passwords altogether and with them, eliminate all or nearly all associated costs of password administration and helpdesk support costs too.  According to a Gartner Group and IDC estimate, 20% to 50% of the helpdesk calls are related to username and password issues and resets, and the average cost of a helpdesk call is $38.  Per their research, the cost of password administration and management can total $200 to $300 per user per year, not including the cost of any breaches.  Ceelox believes the percentage of helpdesk calls for password reset is rising as businesses attempt to make passwords stronger and require more frequent password changes.

Product Focus
Our business plan identifies three business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) mass market opportunities that are on the forefront of the previously mentioned exploding adoption of mobile computing with internet-based applications.  These consumer solutions are currently susceptible to the man-in-the-middle threats but are cured though the Ceelox’ parallel key infrastructure approach.  Any one of these opportunities could produce significant revenues.  Each also requires significant partners in the related space that offer significant market presence and recognition, scale, infrastructure, and speed to market.

These are:

VIRTUAL CREDIT CARD --- a form of ecommerce that removes the need for the transmission of any financial information such as credit card number, user social security number and other personal information that is so vulnerable to identity theft.  We will describe the details of this solution, but the head line is “your finger is your credit card”.  This approach could also be applied to a point-of-sale application where stolen or fraudulent credit cards are often used.

Introduction.  The business of doing business online, at a minimum, is compromised by the following factors:

·      
The current state of the art in technology designed to stop online credit card fraud is highly imperfect and results in billions of dollars in lost sales each year due to “false positive” user authentication (the “Authentication Problem”)

·      
In 2009, online vendors suffered over $4 billion in credit card charge backs resulting from vendors accepting a bogus credit card charge on-line (the “Vendor Chargeback Problem”)

It is widely believed that more people would make purchases online if they believed the payment mechanism was secure. The Ceelox approach allows for Strategic Corporate Partners in this business opportunity to guarantee online vendors that they would suffer no charge backs on transactions using the Ceelox Virtual Credit Card.

Summary Solution Concept.  In the technology solution that Ceelox plans to implement, the Consumer will not transmit his or her credit card credentials over the internet to the vendors’ site to pay for his or her transaction. Rather, the user applies for his virtual credit card responding to one of the same marketing approaches employed today to sell credit cards—albeit, the Ceelox powered card would be marketed with a ‘No Fraud’ guarantee. The virtual cardholder’s pertinent data is entered into the Ceelox Virtual Credit Card Authentication system.  Cardholders are then directed to the secure Virtual Credit Card Authentication Server site with one time password and challenge question(s) for user identity vetting before enrolling multiple fingerprints or other form of biometric i.e. retna, voice recognition, vein scan, etc.  The card number and related cardholder information is then linked one-to-one with the biometric of the user.

The Corporate Partnering Strategy.  For this business opportunity to be viable, Ceelox must have a strategic corporate partner. The logical choices are as follows:

·      
An existing major credit card association (e.g. AMEX, Mastercard, Visa and Discovery)
·      
An aspiring credit card vendor (e.g. Wal-Mart or its bank subsidiary, Arvest Bank, etc.) seeking to differentiate itself
·      
An on-line payment intermediary (e.g. PayPal, Google Checkout, or AliPay in China)
·      
A consumer bank seeking to offer a differentiated (i.e., secure) credit card to its clients
·      
An independent host of the Virtual Credit Card Authentication Server (e.g., VeriSign/Symantec)

Because Ceelox’ approach, arguably the entity that partners with Ceelox on this opportunity will have a highly advantaged competitive market position with both (i) vendors who seek to avoid online credit card fraud charge backs and (ii) consumers who will find this method of doing business online to be virtually secure.

The Business Model for the Strategy.  The Ceelox Virtual Credit Card should have two immediate impacts:

·      
The guarantee of no cyber crime-linked charge backs should cause all on-line retailers to want to settle their online consumer transactions using the Ceelox virtual card payment solution, thereby eliminating the severe profit drain on their business from online credit card fraud;
·      
On-line sales should increase because:
o  
sales should not be lost to false negative authentications (a problem which costs the industry an estimated $14B today); and
o  
The clearly superior transactions security afforded by the solution should cause an increase in the number of consumers transacting purchases online for the first time.

Current credit card fees for online transactions average 2% to 3%, depending on a variety of factors. Because of the benefits that the Ceelox Technology brings to the online retailer (and the “peace of mind” it will bring to consumers), capturing as little as 0.1% fee share on Ceelox authenticated online sales seems more than feasible, which is worth millions for a minute share of the online sales revenue.

TRUST ID  -- a secure way of identifying oneself, through identity proofing in the enrollment process and biometric authentication, within a social website.  This provides everyone, of all ages, confidence that the person you are conversing with is an actual person with the claimed identity.  With a swipe of your finger (or presentation of some other “live” biometric i.e. retna, voice recognition, vein scan, etc.) Trust ID will provide safe, secure social networking.

Introduction.  Social Networks are great places to meet and network with people sharing similar personal or business interests, but they also pose serious security threats to users and their companies.   The number of these sites is increasing and the aggregate enrolled population of these sites is massive; with the top three representing over 1 billion members.

Social Network sites are replete with fraudulent users with phony identities and stolen accounts making social networking unsafe.  Reputations are at risk, children are at risk, and all users are at risk from predators, sex offenders and the like.  Facebook alone is believed to have millions of phony users.

Summary Solution Concept.  The Ceelox Trust ID Digital Identity will use its process to create a trusted identity for each social network member. In this way, the Ceelox solution will create a safe, trusted social networking environment with the knowledge that Trust ID users are real people with vetted identities.  When a registered user seeks to sign on to a social network site, the Trust ID user will be prompted when logging in to confirm their identity by swiping their finger (or other “live” biometric) confirming their identity via the Ceelox Trust ID Authentication Server.  The Social Network partner will place the Trust ID icon next to any social networker online to identify them to all other social networkers as a real person with a vetted identity.

The Corporate Partnering Strategy.  For this business opportunity to be viable, Ceelox must have strategic corporate partners. In this case, the partner solicitation strategy is obvious: the social networks.
 
 
The Business Model for the Strategy.  Insofar as the product will be offered and hosted by the subject social network, the simplest business model would be one where the social network offers its members the opportunity to subscribe on an annual basis for the Trust ID.  With over 1 billion social members, even a miniscule penetration could yield millions in annual, recurring revenue.

SECURE MOBILE PHONE --- a vast number of consumers (9 of 10) use their mobile phone to conduct business online, chat, share pictures, send and receive corporate email, etc. As a result, they are at high risk of theft and exposing personal and sensitive business information.  To further expand the opportunity, the Wireless Telecom Market is a commodity market and Carriers are searching for add-on revenue sources.  Through the introduction of a biometric on a phone coupled with Ceelox authentication software, a solution for both of these opportunities is provided enabling a new platform for revenue growth, including secure mobile commerce.

Introduction.  While billions of dollars are spent each year for personal end-point security of the PC and the information stored thereon, the security of mobile phone access and the data and communications stored and transacted thereon is hugely vulnerable.

This problem is mounting as more and more mobile phone users upgrade to a smart phone and subscribe to a 3G or 4G network service:

·     
As of June 2010, 93% of the US household population had a cell phone.

·     
Of these, 123 million are 3G network subscribers.


 
7

 


·      
A recent KPMG report notes that the global percentage of respondents who have used their mobile device for banking has more than doubled from 19% to 46%, while the percentage that have used it to buy goods and services has gone from 10% to 28%. This surge is being led by the world's fastest-developing economies. In China, 77% of respondents say they have used their mobile phones for banking and 44% for retail transactions, while in India 38% are using them to shop, and 43% for financial business.

·     
On the global retail purchasing side, the market for electronic mobile wallet services is growing fast and Gartner Group predicts it could reach $245 billion in value by 2014.

The immense macro trends associated with the rising importance of the mobile phone in the global economy speak for themselves. The issue remains that the mobile phone, as currently configured, is extremely vulnerable to unauthorized access and use.

Summary Solution Concept. Ceelox has the technology to limit phone access solely to its registered owner, secure the data resident on the phone, and safeguard any payment and banking transactions performed thereon. Just as PC’s today can be equipped on an OEM basis with an inexpensive fingerprint reader to control access, so too can the mobile phone (“100% Secure Access Control”); Note: or other form of biometric can be used i.e. retna, voice recognition, facial recognition, etc.  Through the use of a “live” biometric, the Ceelox process will provide 100% Secure Access Control by allowing the user to register his personal data in a Secure Biometric Server hosted by the service provider (the “Hosting Service Provider”) that is linked one-to-one with the user’s biometric file.

As with its Virtual Credit Card implementation, the power of Ceelox’ process is that, even if a cyber criminal had possession of the mobile phone user’s name, address, phone number and credit card or bank account number and even the users mobile phone itself, the cyber criminal could not gain access to the phone and the subject transaction accounts.

The Corporate Partnering Strategy.  For this business opportunity to be viable, Ceelox must have a strategic corporate partner, which could be implemented in one of several ways as follows:

·      
Carrier-Led Partnering Strategy.  The most logical partnering strategy for this market opportunity would be an existing Telco carrier that has an established 3G mobile network and could most easily host and deliver the service as part of a strategy to provide a highly desired and differentiated premium service to its customers. Because the opportunity is a global one, logically the solicitation of corporate partners would include both (i) US mobile service providers and (ii) international mobile carriers.

·      
Other Partnering Strategies.  An alternative partnering strategy would be to pursue mobile phone OEM’s to deploy and host the recurring hosted services described above.

Business Model: With regard to the US alone, if Ceelox were able to obtain a small user fee e.e. $1.00 per month from the customers electing to use the premium services, we believe that each 1% share of such market is worth $12 million in annual revenue and growing.

Competition

The markets for our products and technologies are developing and characterized by intense competition and rapid technological change. No assurance can be given that our competitors will not develop new or enhanced technologies that will offer superior price, performance, or features, or render our products or technologies obsolete.

In addition to companies that provide existing commonplace methods of restricting access to facilities and logical access points such as pass cards, PIN numbers, passwords, locks and keys, there are numerous companies involved in the development, manufacturing and marketing of fingerprint biometrics products to commercial and consumer markets. These companies include, but are not limited to, Bio-Key, Cogent, NEC, L-1 Identity Solutions, SAFRAN, Digital Persona, and Precise Biometrics.

Although most companies that target consumer application markets have completed development of their biometric products, such technologies have not been widely accepted in the commercial markets to date. Most companies competing for commercial opportunities are in the business of selling scanning devices and tie their algorithm to a specific device.  We have created a process that is “device independent” and agnostic to the type of biometric, i.e. retna, voice recognition, vein scan, etc.   Therefore, by being agnostic to hardware, the Company offers flexibility to customers in their implementation designs.

The commercial markets have been slow to widely accept biometrics as a viable alternative to their current security methods. As a result, the primary competition for biometric technology consists of traditional security methods such as passwords, PINs, cards and tokens, challenge questions or knowledge-based authentication, and device authentication.

With respect to competing biometrics technologies, each has its strength and weaknesses and none has emerged as a market leader:

-
Fingerprint identification is generally viewed as inexpensive and non-intrusive.
 
 
-
Iris scanning is viewed as accurate, but can be expensive and inconvenient to use.
   
-
Facial recognition has recently received substantial attention; however, it can have accuracy limitations associated with the quality and capability of the video capture device and be highly dependent on ambient lighting conditions, angle of view and other factors.

The market for biometric technology is evolving. Computer breaches, identity theft, phishing and other events in the recent past are driving the need for large-scale biometric deployments. In addition, companies such as Lenovo/IBM, Dell, Gateway, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Acer and HP have all introduced computers with integrated finger scanning devices to complement the conventional username/password technique since it is highly susceptible to hackers and security breaches.

Our competitiveness depends on our ability to offer high-quality products that meet our customers’ needs on a timely basis.  The principal competitive factors of our products are time to market, quality, price and breadth of product line.  Many of our competitors have significant advantages over us such as far greater name recognition and financial resources than we have.  At this time we do not represent a significant competitive presence in our industry.


ITEM 1A.              RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

We have a history of losses and may not be profitable in the future.

We have incurred substantial losses and had negative cash flow in operating activities for the last two fiscal years and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we had an accumulated deficits of $25,639,942 and $23,975,687 respectively.

We sustained net losses of $1,722,241 and $3,052,432 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations or achieve operating profits in the future.

We have relinquished an exclusive license to a related party for all of our intellectual property.

As announced in an 8-K dated January 27, 2012, Ceelox completed the fulfillment of the demand notice from CIP, LLC.  In this agreement, Ceelox converted over $8 million in debt to 24 million shares in equity and turned over all intellectual property and software to CIP.  Since that time Ceelox has continued development of its business plan surrounding credit card, social networking, and mobile, security.  Ceelox will continue to seek merger and acquisition candidates with synergies within these areas.  Ceelox is currently in discussions with CIP and will seek license and/or purchase the intellectual property from CIP as appropriate to complete their new product rollout.

Even if we successfully complete any acquisition as part of our business strategy, we may fail to successfully integrate the business of any such acquisition into our operations and realize the anticipated benefits from such integration on a timely basis, or at all, which could negatively impact our business.

The success of any acquisition will depend on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from integrating a target company’s business into our operations. Our business could be disrupted and our management’s attention diverted due to these integration planning activities and as a result of the actual integration of our company with any such acquisition following the acquisition. Following any such acquisition, we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits therefrom on a timely basis, or at all, for a variety of reasons, including the following:

·      
difficulties entering new markets or manufacturing in new geographies where we have no or limited direct prior experience;
·      
failure to identify or assess the magnitude of any liabilities we may assume in connection with an acquisition, which could result in unexpected litigation or regulatory exposure, unfavorable accounting treatment, unexpected increases in taxes due, a loss of anticipated tax benefits or other adverse effects on our business, operating results or financial condition; and
·      
difficulties or delays in incorporating acquired technologies into our proposed products.

If we are not able to successfully integrate the business and technology of any such acquisition into our operations, the anticipated benefits and efficiencies of any such acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and our ability to compete may be adversely affected.

Biometric technology has yet to gain widespread market acceptance and we do not know how large of a market will develop for our technology.

Biometric technology has received only limited market acceptance, particularly in the private sector. Our technology represents a cutting edge security solution and we have not yet generated significant sales. Although recent security concerns relating to identification of individuals and systems and data access control has increased interest in biometrics generally, it remains an undeveloped, evolving market. Biometric based solutions compete with more traditional security methods including keys, cards, personal identification numbers and security personnel. Acceptance of biometrics as an alternative to such traditional methods depends upon a number of factors including:

·      
the reliability of biometric solutions;
·      
public perception regarding privacy concerns; and
·      
costs involved in adopting and integrating biometric solutions.

For these reasons, we are uncertain whether our biometric technology will gain widespread acceptance in any commercial markets or that demand will be sufficient to create a market large enough to produce significant revenue or earnings. Our future success depends, in part, upon business customers and ultimately consumers adopting biometrics generally, and our solution specifically.

Biometric technology is a new approach to Internet security which must be accepted in order for our products and solutions to generate significant revenue.

Our solutions represent a new approach to Internet security which has been adopted on a limited basis by companies which distribute goods, content or software applications over the Internet. The implementation of our products and solutions requires the distribution and use of a finger scanning device and integration of database and server side software. Although we believe our solutions provide a higher level of security for ecommerce, banking and other Internet transactions and information transmitted over the Internet than existing traditional methods, unless business and consumer markets embrace the use of a scanning device and believe the benefits of increased accuracy outweigh implementation costs, our solutions will not gain market acceptance.


 
10

 


Our solutions may contain defects which will make it more difficult for us to establish and maintain customers.

Despite extensive testing during development, our products may contain undetected design faults and errors, or “bugs” that are discovered only after it has been installed and used by customers. Any such defect or error in new applications could cause delays in delivering our technology or require design modifications. These could adversely affect our competitive position and cause us to lose potential customers or opportunities. Since our technologies are intended to be utilized to secure electronic access, the effect of any such bugs or delays will likely have a detrimental impact on us. In addition, given that biometric technology generally, has yet to gain widespread acceptance in the market, any delays would likely have a more detrimental impact on our business than if we were a more established company.

In order to generate revenue from our products, we are dependent upon third parties and strategic partners yet to be defined  which we do not control. As a result, it may be more difficult to generate sales.

Our success will depend upon the ability of these distribution channel partners to effectively integrate our technology into products and services which they market and sell. We have no control over these partners and cannot assure you that they have the financial, marketing or technical resources to successfully sell, integrate and distribute products or applications to end users or generate any meaningful revenue for us. These third parties may also offer the products of our competitors to end users.

We will need to raise additional capital in order to implement our long-term business plan.

Our ability to implement our long-term strategy and expand our operations largely depends on our access to capital.  To implement our long-term strategy, we plan to make ongoing expenditures for the expansion and improvement of our product line and the promotion of our products.  We may also wish to make expenditures to acquire other businesses.  To date, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity, the issuance of notes and advances from a related party.  If we were to attempt to expand our business at a faster pace than currently contemplated, or if we were to identify an acquisition target, we would need to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities or debt instruments.  However, additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us.  Our failure to obtain sufficient additional capital could curtail or alter our long-term growth strategy or delay needed capital expenditures.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.

Our strategy envisions growing our business.  We plan to continue to develop our products and to hire additional sales, software engineers, administrative and marketing personnel.  Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems.  In order to expand our business, we may be required to purchase or lease additional machinery and equipment, hire, train and supervise additional personnel and make significant outlays of capital.  These measures are time consuming and expensive, will increase management’s responsibilities and will divert management’s attention from our day-to-day operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:

·      
expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
·      
allocate our human resources optimally;
·      
meet our capital needs;
·      
identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or
·      
incorporate effectively the components of any business or product line that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.

Our inability or failure to manage our growth effectively could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Competition may force us to shorten our product life cycles and more rapidly introduce new and enhanced products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may become subject to litigation for infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

Others may initiate claims against us for infringing on their intellectual property rights.  We may be subject to costly litigation relating to such infringement claims and we may be required to pay compensatory and punitive damages or license fees if we settle or are found culpable in such litigation.  In addition, we may be precluded from offering products that rely on intellectual property that is found to have been infringed by us.  We also may be required to cease offering the affected products while a determination as to infringement is considered.  These developments could cause a decrease in our operating income and reduce our available cash flow, which could harm our business.

We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, experienced, highly skilled personnel, which could adversely affect the implementation of our business plan.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled and qualified personnel.  If we fail to attract, train and retain sufficient numbers of these qualified people, our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.  In particular, we are heavily dependent on the continued services of Mark Grannell, our Chief Executive Officer. Our success depends on our ability to attract, train and retain employees with expertise in developing, marketing and selling software solutions. In order to successfully market our products, we will need to retain, replace, and grow with additional engineering, technical support and marketing personnel. The market for such persons remains highly competitive and our limited financial resources will make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain qualified persons.

We face intense competition and may not have the financial and human resources necessary to keep up with rapid technological changes, which may result in our technology becoming obsolete.

The Internet and information security markets are subject to rapid technological change and intense competition. We compete with both established biometric companies and a significant number of startup enterprises as well as providers of more traditional methods of access control. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than we do and may independently develop superior technologies, which may result in our technology becoming less competitive or obsolete. We may not be able to keep pace with this change. If we are unable to develop new applications or enhance our existing technology in a timely manner in response to technological changes, we will be unable to compete in our chosen markets. In addition, if one or more other biometric technologies such as voice, face, iris, hand geometry or blood vessel recognition are widely adopted, it may cause us delays in adapting our products and services to these other biometric form factors.

Our products may become obsolete due to rapid technological change within the industry.

Product technology evolves rapidly, making timely product innovation essential to success in the marketplace.  The introduction of products with improved technologies or features may render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable.  If we cannot develop products in a timely manner in response to industry changes, or if our products do not perform well, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

A Majority of our Common Stock is owned and controlled by William P. Moore, our Chairman, which will limit your ability to voice your opinion on corporate matters over which you will effectively have no vote.

CIP, LLC, our majority shareholder, of which our Chairman, William P. Moore is a control person, currently owns approximately 69.6% of our issued and outstanding common stock.   Since CIP, LLC controls more than 50% of our issued and outstanding common stock, you effectively have no vote in how we conduct our corporate affairs.

Applicable SEC Rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limits the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. Since our common stock trades below $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations, which impose limitations upon the manner in which our shares can be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.

We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid a dividend on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile.

The trading price of our shares has from time to time fluctuated widely and in the future may be subject to similar fluctuations. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including the risk factors set forth in this Report as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the biometrics and access control industries, and other events or factors. In recent years broad stock market indices, in general, and the securities of technology companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the future-trading price of our common stock.

Overview

We were originally formed for the purpose of developing and marketing advanced fingerprint biometric technology and encryption software solutions.   Our biometric identification and encryption software solutions provide innovative and new ways for customers to securely access, store, send and receive confidential information.  We commenced marketing our products in the first half of 2007 following more than three years of technology and product development.  We have invested over $12 million in the operations of the business including research and development, product development and marketing of our products.

As announced on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 27, 2012, Ceelox completed the fulfillment of the demand notice from CIP, LLC.  In this agreement, Ceelox converted over $8 million in debt to 24 million shares of common stock and turned over all intellectual property and software to CIP.  Since that time Ceelox has continued development of its business plan surrounding virtual credit card, social networking, and mobile, security.  Ceelox will continue to seek merger and acquisition candidates with synergies within these areas.  Ceelox is currently in discussions with CIP and will seek to license and/or purchase the intellectual property from CIP as appropriate to complete their new product rollout.

Results of Operations

Net Revenue

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company had revenues of $21,101 and $33,889, respectively.   This results from the fact that the Company was focused on continued product development and securing funding to execute its business plan.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses

Our total costs and expenses which consist of payroll and related benefits, consulting expenses, marketing, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and research and development expenses decreased by $1,045,605 or 41% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease in Operating Costs and Expenses was due to a decrease of $1,153,716 or 47% in marketing, general and administrative expenses.

Loss from Operations

Our operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,453,418 compared to a loss of $2,486,235 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decreased loss from operations of $1,032,817 or 42% was due largely to focus on product development and pursuit of funding to execute our business plan.

Interest Expense

Interest expense and related financing fees for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $268,823 compared to $566,201 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $297,378 or 53%.  In August 2005, Ceelox of Florida, a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a convertible note from a related party totaling $300,705 (see footnote 5 of the Company’s financial statements).  Interest on that note was $45,739 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $39,574 for the same period in 2010.  In February 2010, the Company issued convertible notes to a related party totaling $450,000 (see footnote 7 of the Company’s financial statements) which contributed $28,826 additional interest expense.  Between December 2009 and February 2010, the Company issued convertible bridge loan notes totaling $626,735, of which $350,000 was converted in February 2010.  Interest expense on these notes was $34,970 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Of the $34,970 in interest expense, $23,095 is related to accrued interest and $11,875 is related to debt discount.  On July 20, 2007, Ceelox of Florida, a majority owned subsidiary of the Company granted a related party an exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, assignable license, with the right to sublicense in and to all the Company’s intellectual property (the “License Agreement”).  Subject to the License Agreement the Company maintains all of its right, title and interest in and to the intellectual property. The License Agreement was effective immediately and continues indefinitely, unless and until terminated by mutual agreement.

Additionally and in connection with this agreement, the Company entered into a Software Services Agreement with the related party whereby they agreed to pay Ceelox costs associated with marketing its products and maintaining and developing our products based on our biweekly cash burn rate, net of sales collections.  During the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company received additional advances under this agreement of $385,552 which resulted in additional interest expense of $96,388.  See Footnote 4 of the Company’s financial statements for additional detail.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued promissory notes to a related party in the amount of $626,824, which resulted in additional interest expense in the amount of $1,597. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense related to lock-up agreements in the amount of $57,500. The remaining interest expense of $3,802 is related to financing fees.

Net Loss

During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company incurred net losses of $1,722,241 and $3,052,436, respectively.  The decreased losses of $1,330,195 were primarily due to a reduction in workforce expenses while seeking additional funding for its business plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $10,115,840, as compared to a working capital deficit of $8,726,580 as of December 31, 2010.  In the past we have relied on sales of our equity to raise funds for our working capital requirements, as well as loans from our majority stockholder.  We will need to raise additional capital in order to implement our business plan and will seek to sell additional equity and/or debt to accomplish this objective.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise funds sufficient to carry out our business plan, or that if funds are available to us that they will be on acceptable terms.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operations of $961,165 during the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily a result of our $1,722,241 net loss reconciled with our net non-cash expenses relating to stock-based compensation expense, accrued interest, and depreciation and amortization expense.  Cash used in operations of $1,849,253 during the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily a result of our $3,052,436 net loss reconciled with our net non-cash expenses relating to stock-based compensation expense, accrued interest, and depreciation and amortization expense

Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we expended $0 and $1,272, respectively.  The amount we expended for the year ended December 31, 2010 was for the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we generated proceeds of $942,376 from our financing activities which consisted of: (i) advances from related parties of $385,552, and (ii) proceeds from notes payable, related parties in the amount of $556,824.

Seasonality Results

We do not expect to experience any seasonality in our operating results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special purpose entities.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the SEC’s accounting rules under Regulation S-X. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates also affect our reported revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgment, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgment on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements are set forth in Note 3 to our audited financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, approximate the carrying amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined using a combination of factors to ensure that trade and unbilled receivables balances are not overstated due to uncollectibility. The Company performs ongoing customer credit evaluation within the context of the industry in which it operates, does not require collateral, and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. A specific allowance for a doubtful account up to 100% of the invoice will be provided for any problematic customer balances. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not possible.

Inventory

Inventories consist of computer equipment merchandise that is in its finished form and ready for sale to end-user customers. Inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. In-bound freight-related costs from our vendors are included as part of the net cost of merchandise inventories. Other costs associated with acquiring, storing and transporting merchandise inventories are expensed as incurred. Our inventories are acquired and carried for retail sale and, accordingly, the carrying value is susceptible to, among other things, market trends and conditions and overall customer demand. We use our best estimates of all available information to establish reasonable inventory quantities. However, these conditions may cause our inventories to become obsolete and/or excessive. We review our inventories periodically for indications that reserves are necessary to reduce the carrying values to the lower of cost or market values. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that no reserves was necessary.

 
17

 


Property and Equipment

Computer equipment, computer software and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years. Upon disposal, assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the related gain or loss is included in results from operations.

Software Development Costs, Patents and Trademarks

The Company capitalizes certain direct software development costs based upon stages of development. Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Capitalization ceases upon the products market introduction.  Amortization of software development cost is computed on an individual product basis on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life ranging from three to five years, and begins when a product is available for general release to customers.

Patents and trademarks costs consist of internal and external costs relating to the filing patents and costs of licensing trademarks. Patent and trademark costs are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years, the expected period of future utility and economic benefit.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Intangible Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets with finite lives in accordance with ASC 350. Intangible assets, including purchased technology and other intangible assets, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.  Finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five to ten years. ASC 350 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. A significant impairment of finite-lived intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As further discussed in Note 5, for the year ended management recorded a loss on assets of $84,566.

The Company also assesses the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company determines if impairment has occurred through adverse changes.  When it is determined that the estimated future cash flows of an asset will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment loss must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. As discussed further in Note 4 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2011, management recorded a loss on assets of $8,677.

Revenue Recognition

Overview

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, we have delivered the product or performed the service, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. If any of these criteria are not met, we defer recognizing the revenue until such time as all criteria are met. Determination of whether or not these criteria have been met may require us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates based upon current information and historical experience.

The Company markets its software products direct to commercial customers, to Value Added Resellers and Systems Integrators and to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”).  Revenue may have four components: 1) license software revenue which provides a right to use Ceelox software products on a per seat/client or per server basis for an unlimited period; 2) software maintenance, 3) hardware, such as fingerprint readers and flash memory devices, and 4) professional services, primarily installation support. The Company also performs custom software development on a limited basis when necessary to support significant account or revenue opportunities.


 
18

 


Revenue Recognition

Overview

The Company has developed suggested retail pricing for all revenue components which include volume related discounting where appropriate. In addition the Company may negotiate prices on an individual case basis for significant volume or significant account opportunities.

Hardware and Software Revenue

The Company recognizes hardware revenue upon invoicing. Invoicing is triggered upon shipping. In products that have a hardware and software component that is not broken out in the Company’s pricing, that includes hardware in the form of flash memory, the Company considers the value of the hardware to be de minimis and records the sale under the Software/Hardware classification.

Software License Revenue

License software revenue is recognized at the time of invoicing.  Invoicing is timed with shipment or delivery of licensed software. The Company warrants that its software is free from material defects and will replace any defective products with a functional replacement.

Maintenance includes customer access to and right to software bug fixes and new releases of the company’s software. These releases are made available to customers who download releases at their discretion. The Company’s licensed software includes first-year maintenance. Subsequent year maintenance is offered, at a percentage of the initial software license revenue, on an annual basis on the anniversary of the original purchase date. When deemed material, this revenue is amortized over the life of the license agreement on a straight-line basis.

Contract Revenue

Professional Services: Our customers occasionally request professional services support related to server installation support. The Company recognizes professional services revenue at the time the support is provided.  Billing is on a rate per day basis.

Custom Software Development: Revenues from multi-element arrangements are allocated to the individual elements based upon relative fair values using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. Revenues received from customers where all revenue recognition criteria have not been established are deferred until such criteria have been achieved.

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as they are incurred.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation and Equity Incentive Plans

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company maintained a stock plan covering equity grants including stock options and warrants.



 
19

 


The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. The standard requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense in the Company’s statement of operations for all share-based payment awards made to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants including employee stock options, non-vested equity stock and equity stock units, and employee stock purchase grants. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, reduced by an estimate of the annualized rate of expected forfeitures, and is recognized as expense over the employees’ expected requisite service period, generally using the straight-line method. In addition, ASC 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under previous accounting rules. Ceelox Inc.’s forfeiture rate represents the historical rate at which Ceelox Inc.’s stock-based awards were surrendered prior to vesting. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised on a cumulative basis, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Computation of (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, warrants and shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes. The dilutive effect of the convertible notes is calculated under the if-converted method. The dilutive effect of outstanding shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.  This method includes consideration of the amounts to be paid by the employees, the amount of excess tax benefits that would be recognized in equity if the instruments were exercised and the amount of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to future services. No potential dilutive common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss is reported. Accordingly, we did not include 25,372,824 and 24,255,264 of potentially dilutive options, warrants and convertible debt instruments at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

ITEM 7A.              QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rates

We are not being exposed to market risks relating to changes in interest rates because all outstanding debt bears interest at a fixed rate.  We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging activity and have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future.

Foreign Exchange

The company has no exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Ceelox, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ceelox, Inc. and Subsidiary (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ceelox, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and a stockholders’ deficit, significant current and cumulative losses and negative operating cash flows.  Furthermore, the Company’s cash and working capital positions as of December 31, 2011 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for the upcoming year.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan regarding those matters are also described in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CEELOX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    Nature of Business and Recapitalization Transaction

Ceelox, Inc. (the “Company”) (formerly Nicaragua Rising, Inc. or “Nicaragua”) was incorporated on October 24, 2007 in Nevada; The Company was a development stage company until the occurrence of the following recapitalization transaction. On February 12, 2010, (the “Merger Date”), pursuant to the share exchange agreement between Ceelox Private (defined below), certain shareholders of Ceelox Private, the Company and the Company’s majority shareholder, the Company exchanged 1 share of the Company’s common stock for every 9 shares of Ceelox Private common stock (the “Merger”).  As a result of the Merger, Ceelox Private became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company.  See Note 11 for a more detailed discussion of the Nicaragua-Ceelox Private Share Exchange.
 
The Company’s majority-owned subsidiary Ceelox, Inc. (“Ceelox Private”) was incorporated in the State of Florida and commenced operations on September 17, 2003.  Through the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, the Company offers software solutions and devices that deliver biometric identity-based user access authentication, verification, and data and email encryption.  The Company’s biometric authentication provides protection against identity theft, and our solutions also meet regulatory requirements for two-factor authentication.

Prior to the above transaction, on November 5, 2009, the majority beneficial owner of Ceelox Private acquired 11,091,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 98.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock. The net assets of Ceelox Private and the Company were combined at their respective net asset value on February 12, 2010 and no goodwill was recorded as a result of the Merger.

The Company formally changed its name from Nicaragua Rising, Inc. to Ceelox, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, on September 30, 2010.


2.          Going Concern and Management’s Plans

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company was engaged in advertising and marketing activities directed at generating interest in its fully developed products.  As indicated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $6,940 and $25,729 in cash, respectively, and $10,115,840 and $8,789,424 in negative working capital, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had a net loss of $1,722,241 and $3,052,436, respectively, and utilized $961,165 and $1,849,253, respectively, in cash from operations.    These factors, among others, indicate that the Company is in need of additional financing in order to continue its planned activities for the year that began on January 1, 2011.   No adjustment has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

License and Intellectual Property

On August 3, 2011, CIP, the Company’s majority stockholder executed a majority stockholder written consent authorizing Ceelox Sub to deliver all of the Collateral to CIP on August 12, 2011 in exchange for CIP’s agreement to forgive all amounts due under the Note and all other amounts due to CIP by Ceelox Sub. This action will result in the termination of (i) that certain License Agreement dated July 20, 2007 between CIP and Ceelox Sub and (ii) that certain Exclusive Software Development Maintenance and Marketing Services Agreement dated July 20, 2007 between CIP and Ceelox Sub. In connection with the stockholder consent, Ceelox Sub has agreed to execute and return certain documents that accompanied the Demand Letter on or before August 12, 2011, including the following: (i)Termination, Settlement and Full Release, (ii) Omnibus Bill of Sale and Assignment and (iii) Global Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights, (collectively, the “Settlement Agreements”).

2.          Going Concern and Management’s Plans (continued)

Although authorized to act as indicated, the Company has held off doings so as CIP indicated verbally that it would give Ceelox Sub and the Company some additional time past August 12, 2011 to find financing or some other acceptable solution.

As announced on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 27, 2012, Ceelox completed the fulfillment of the demand notice from CIP, LLC.  In this agreement, Ceelox converted over $8 million in debt to 24 million shares of common stock and turned over all intellectual property and software to CIP.  Since that time Ceelox has continued development of its business plan surrounding virtual credit card, social networking, and mobile, security.  Ceelox will continue to seek merger and acquisition candidates with synergies within these areas.  Ceelox is currently in discussions with CIP and will seek to license and/or purchase the intellectual property from CIP as appropriate to complete their new product rollout.

Leased Space

Until July 31, 2011, the Company’s offices were located at 13976 Lynmar Blvd., Tampa, FL 33626 where the Company leased approximately 7,000 square feet of office space.  Pursuant to the lease, the monthly rent is $6,710, and as of December 31, 2011, the Company owes $44,937 in deferred payments. After July 31, 2011, the Company did not renew the lease agreement at 13976 Lynmar Blvd, Tampa, Florida 33626, and the Company’s office is now located at 10801 Mastin, Suite 920, Bldg # 8, Overland Park, Kansas 66210.

Employee Furlough

During the month of July the Company furloughed all remaining employees with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer.  The Company may bring back certain employees if new funding is secured and/or the Company enters into a strategic transaction.  Although the Company furloughed substantially all its employees, the Company continues to sell and develop its products and pursue funding and/or a strategic transaction with a third party.


3.          Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

CEELOX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


3.          Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, approximate the carrying amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined using a combination of factors to ensure that trade and unbilled receivables balances are not overstated due to uncollectibility. The Company performs ongoing customer credit evaluation within the context of the industry in which it operates, does not require collateral, and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. A specific allowance for a doubtful account up to 100% of the invoice will be provided for any problematic customer balances. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not possible.

Inventory

Inventories consist of computer equipment merchandise that is in its finished form and ready for sale to end-user customers. Inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. In-bound freight-related costs from our vendors are included as part of the net cost of merchandise inventories. Other costs associated with acquiring, storing and transporting merchandise inventories are expensed as incurred. Our inventories are acquired and carried for retail sale and, accordingly, the carrying value is susceptible to, among other things, market trends and conditions and overall customer demand. We use our best estimates of all available information to establish reasonable inventory quantities. However, these conditions may cause our inventories to become obsolete and/or excessive. We review our inventories periodically for indications that reserves are necessary to reduce the carrying values to the lower of cost or market values. For all periods presented, the Company determined that no reserves were necessary. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that the inventory was obsolete. Therefore, the company recorded a loss on disposal of inventory in the amount of $36,492.

Property and Equipment

Computer equipment, computer software and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years. Upon disposal, assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the related gain or loss is included in results from operations.

Software Development Costs, Patents and Trademarks

The Company capitalizes certain direct software development costs based upon stages of development. Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Capitalization ceases upon the products market introduction. Amortization of software development cost is computed on an individual product basis on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life ranging from three to five years, and begins when a product is available for general release to customers.

Patents and trademarks costs consist of internal and external costs relating to the filing patents and costs of licensing trademarks. Patent and trademark costs are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years, the expected period of future utility and economic benefit.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Intangible Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets with finite lives in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other. Intangible assets, including purchased technology and other intangible assets, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.  Finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five to ten years. ASC 350 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. A significant impairment of finite-lived intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As further discussed in Note 5, for the year ended December 31, 2011 management recorded a loss on assets of $84,566.

The Company also assesses the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company determines if impairment has occurred through adverse changes.  When it is determined that the estimated future cash flows of an asset will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment loss must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. As discussed further in Note 4, for the year ended December 31, 2011, management recorded a loss on assets of $8,677.

Revenue Recognition

Overview

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, we have delivered the product or performed the service, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. If any of these criteria are not met, we defer recognizing the revenue until such time as all criteria are met. Determination of whether or not these criteria have been met may require us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates based upon current information and historical experience.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Overview (continued)

The Company markets its software products direct to commercial customers, to Value Added Resellers and Systems Integrators and to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”). Revenue may have four components: 1) license software revenue which provides a right to use the Company software products on a per seat/client or per server basis for an unlimited period; 2) software maintenance 3) hardware, such as fingerprint readers and flash memory devices and 4) professional services, primarily installation support. The Company also performs custom software development on a limited basis when necessary to support significant account or revenue opportunities.

The Company has developed suggested retail pricing for all revenue components which include volume related discounting where appropriate. In addition the Company may negotiate prices on an individual case basis for significant volume or significant account opportunities.

Hardware and Software Revenue

The Company recognizes hardware revenue upon invoicing. Invoicing is triggered upon shipping. In products that have a hardware and software component that is not broken out in the Company’s pricing, such as with Ceelox Portable Vault that includes hardware in the form of flash memory, the Company considers the value of the hardware to be de minimis and records the sale under the Software/Hardware classification.

Software License Revenue

License software revenue is recognized at the time of invoicing. Invoicing is timed with shipment or delivery of licensed software. The Company warrants that its software is free from material defects and will replace any defective products with a functional replacement.

Maintenance includes customer access to and right to software bug fixes and new releases of the company’s software.  These releases are made available to customers who download releases at their discretion. The Company’s licensed software includes first-year maintenance. Subsequent year maintenance is offered, at a percentage of the initial software license revenue, on an annual basis on the anniversary of the original purchase date. When deemed material, this revenue is amortized over the life of the license agreement on a straight-line basis.

Contract Revenue

Professional Services: Our customers occasionally request professional services support related to server installation support. The Company recognizes professional services revenue at the time the support is provided. Billing is on a rate per day basis.

Custom Software Development: Revenues from multi-element arrangements are allocated to the individual elements based upon relative fair values using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. Revenues received from customers where all revenue recognition criteria have not been established are deferred until such criteria have been achieved.

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as they are incurred.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Such costs for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $46,000 and $127,000, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation and Equity Incentive Plans

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company maintained a stock plan covering equity grants including stock options and warrants. (See Note 11, “Equity Incentive and Stock-Based Compensation Plan,” for a detailed description of the Company’s plans.)

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The standard requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense in the Company’s statement of operations for all share-based payment awards made to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants including employee stock options, non-vested equity stock and equity stock units, and employee stock purchase grants. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, reduced by an estimate of the annualized rate of expected forfeitures, and is recognized as expense over the employees’ expected requisite service period, generally using the straight-line method. In addition, ASC 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under previous accounting rules.

The Company’s forfeiture rate represents the historical rate at which the Company’s stock-based awards were surrendered prior to vesting. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised on a cumulative basis, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Computation of (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  Potentially dilutive common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, warrants and shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes. The dilutive effect of the convertible notes is calculated under the if-converted method.  The dilutive effect of outstanding shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.  This method includes consideration of the amounts to be paid by the employees, the amount of excess tax benefits that would be recognized in equity if the instruments were exercised and the amount of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to future services.  No potential dilutive common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss is reported.   Accordingly, we did not include 25,277,878 and 24,255,264 of potentially dilutive options, warrants and convertible debt instruments at December 31, 2011 and 2010, as shown below:

Details of changes in the non controlling interests are reflected in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company recorded a loss on disposal of software development costs, patents and trademarks in the amount of $84,566 to equal the full amount of the carrying value. The impairment charge resulted from the fact that on January 24, 2012, CIP, the Company’s majority shareholder executed a majority shareholder written consent authorizing Ceelox Sub to deliver all of the assets of Ceelox that secured the note (the “Collateral”) to CIP on January 27, 2012 in exchange for CIP’s agreement to forgive all debt (other than an aggregate of $118,368 which shall remain due and owing to CIP) in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock.  Consequently, at December 31, 2011, management did not believe there was a future economic benefit to these assets based on CIP’s intentions.


6.    Advances from Related Party

On July 20, 2007 the Company granted a related party an exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, assignable, license, with the right to sublicense in and to all the Companies intellectual property (the “License Agreement”).  Subject to the License Agreement the Company maintains all of its right, title and interest in and to the intellectual property.  The License Agreement was effective immediately and continues indefinitely, unless and until terminated by mutual agreement.  Additionally and in connection with this agreement, the Company entered into a Software Services Agreement with the related party whereby they agreed to pay the Company costs associated with marketing its products and maintaining and developing our products based on our biweekly cash burn rate, net of sales collections.

The agreements contain a provision allowing for the reassignment of the intellectual property back to the Company at both the option of the Company and the affiliate, each option independent of the other.  Under these options the Company may reacquire all its rights granted in the exclusive license agreement above for an amount equal to the total costs paid under this agreement plus 25 percent in cash or in common equity at a conversion rate of $0.50625 (“Reacquisition Fee”).  On February 12, 2010, CIP LLC agreed to transfer, under certain conditions, the licensing and software services agreement to Nicaragua Rising, Inc in consideration of 14,520,865 shares.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company received advances under this agreement of $385,552 and $1,721,111, respectively. Interest accrued for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $96,388 and $430,278, respectively.

As previously reported on Form 8-K dated July 13, 2011 and subsequently amended on August 9, 2011, the Company reported that it received a demand letter (“Demand Letter”) from its primary creditor and majority stockholder, CIP, which requires the Company to either (i) make payment in full of all amounts owed to CIP by Ceelox Sub under the $300,705 Face Value Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party plus accrued interest (See Note 5) or (ii) deliver title to all of the assets of Ceelox that secure the Note (the “Collateral”) to CIP, in either event on or before August 12, 2011.  Additionally, if CIP so elects, it could require immediate payment from Ceelox Sub related to the outstanding related party advances plus accrued interest. As of December 31, 2011, the Advances from Related Party are considered in default.

On January 24, 2012, CIP, the Company’s majority shareholder executed a majority shareholder written consent authorizing Ceelox Sub to deliver all of the Collateral to CIP on January 27, 2012 in exchange for CIP’s agreement to forgive all debt (other than an aggregate of $118,368 which shall remain due and owing to CIP) in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock. In this agreement, Ceelox converted over $8 million in debt to 24 million shares of common stock and turned over all intellectual property and software to CIP.  As a result, all of the advances from related party were converted.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, interest expense amounted to $22,420. On February 12, 2011 the term of the note was modified from February 10, 2011 to ‘on demand by the holder’.

On February 10, 2010, the Company converted a related party advance into a convertible note in the amount of $100,000. The note has a term of one year and accrues interest at 8% per annum.

8.    Convertible Notes Payable – Bridge Loans (continued)

The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, into Ceelox Private’s Common Stock or in connection with a Reverse Merger such public company’s common stock in accordance with certain terms of the agreement at $0.81 per share of the Company’s Common stock.

Purchasers in this offering are granted warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of their note divided by the applicable conversion price of the notes as described above and the exercise price per share shall be equal to the conversion price of the notes. Upon the Merger, 777,451 of warrants were issuable under this agreement.

Ceelox Private had issued $495,000 of notes under this subscription agreement through December 31, 2010. In February 2010, the Company exchanged a non interest bearing shareholder advance payable for a convertible bridge loan in the amount of $134,735. Ceelox Private determined that, based upon the contractual terms of the agreement, the maximum number of warrants to be issued, in aggregate, would be 1,166,176 and has calculated a gross discount at inception in the amount of $58,064 ($17,739 of discounts recorded during the period for new issuances) and is amortizing this amount on a straight line basis over the term of the agreements.  Ceelox Private considered the guidance under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, in evaluation of whether an embedded feature is considered indexed to a Company’s own stock.  Ceelox Private determined that the guidance did not apply and the debt did qualify as conventional convertible debt.
 
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, holders of notes with a face value totaling $345,000 converted the face value plus accrued interest of $8,476 into 436,391 post merger common shares. Unamortized discounts of $25,069 were charged to interest expense upon conversion.  Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Ceelox Private recorded amortization of discounts in the amount of $11,875 and $16,343 related to unconverted instruments, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the carrying amounts of convertible bridge notes were $331,385, net of $538 in un-amortized discount. However, as of December 31, 2011, $174,400 of the Convertible Notes Payable – Bridge Loans is considered in default.

On January 24, 2012, CIP, the Company’s majority shareholder executed a majority shareholder written consent authorizing Ceelox Sub to deliver all of the Collateral to CIP on January 27, 2012 in exchange for CIP’s agreement to forgive all debt (other than an aggregate of $118,368 which shall remain due and owing to CIP) in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock.

This modification to the contractual terms of the warrant agreements generated incremental financing fees of $4,699 and was charged to interest expense.

Nicaragua-Ceelox Private Share Exchange

On February 12, 2010 (the “Merger Date”), pursuant to the share exchange agreement between Ceelox Private and the Company, certain shareholders of Ceelox Private participated in the share exchange agreement whereby 1 share of the Company’s common stock was exchanged for every 9 shares of Ceelox Private common stock (the “Merger”).  As a result of the Merger, Ceelox Private became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The historical financial statements of Ceelox Private for periods prior to this transaction are considered to be the historical financial statements of the combined entities as the substance of the transaction is a reverse merger or recapitalization of Ceelox Private with and into the Company, which was deemed to be a shell company.  Ceelox Private is the accounting acquirer as its shareholders obtained control of the combined entities as a result of the Merger.

In connection with the recapitalization transaction, Ceelox Private retired 121,111 shares of its Treasury Stock.  In addition, the Company recorded non-controlling interest in the initial amount of $192,243 related to 385,635 shares of Ceelox Private common stock not participating in the Nicaragua-Ceelox Private Share Exchange.

Simultaneously with the Share Exchange, the Company and its majority beneficial shareholder agreed cancel 1,175,101 of the 11,091,101 Nicaragua shares purchased by the Company and exchange 9,916,000 shares of Nicaragua common stock for consideration of a $350,000 convertible note (see Note 6).  The shares purchased by the Company were reissued with the recapitalization transaction.

Income tax benefit resulting from applying statutory rates in jurisdictions in which we are taxed (Federal and State of Florida) differs from the income tax provision (benefit) in our financial statements.

As of December 31, 2011, we have $20,890,000 in net operating loss carry forward that, subject to limitation, may be available in future tax years to offset taxable income.  The net operating loss carry forwards expire through 2031.

The amount of income taxes and related income tax positions taken are subject to audits by federal and state tax authorities. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s most recently filed income tax return dates are as of December 31, 2010, and generally three years of income tax returns commencing with that date are subject to audit by these authorities.  Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax positions is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time, pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes.  ASC 740 requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Company’s policy is to record a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to ASC 740 and tax position taken or expected to be taken on the tax return.  Then, to the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. During the periods reported, management of the Company has concluded that no significant tax position requires recognition under ASC 740.

The Company previously reported in Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on January 27, 2012, that it received a demand letter (“Demand Letter”) from its primary creditor and majority shareholder, CIP, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“CIP”).

The Demand Letter requires the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Ceelox, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Ceelox Sub”) to either (i) make payment in full of all amounts owed to CIP by Ceelox Sub under that certain 8% Convertible Promissory Note dated August 17, 2005 in the original principal amount of $500,000 (as subsequently amended from time to time, the “Note”) or (ii) deliver title to all of the assets of Ceelox that secure the Note (the “Collateral”) to CIP, in either event on or before January 27, 2012.  The current amount due under the Note is approximately $431,705 (which includes $300,705 in principal and approximately $131,000 of interest as of the date of the Demand Letter, and in addition to the obligations to CIP under the Note, Ceelox Sub has other contractual obligations to CIP that, if CIP so elected, would require an immediate payment from Ceelox Sub to CIP of approximately $9,460,000.

The Demand Letter further states that if Ceelox Sub agrees to deliver title to all of the Collateral to CIP on or before August 12, 2011 (subsequently verbally extended to January 27, 2012), CIP will agree that (i) all indebtedness under the Note will be deemed satisfied and (ii) all other contractual agreements between CIP and Ceelox Sub will be terminated and any amounts due will be converted into 24,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On January 24, 2012, CIP, the Company’s majority shareholder executed a majority shareholder written consent authorizing Ceelox Sub to deliver all of the Collateral to CIP on January 27, 2012 in exchange for CIP’s agreement to forgive all debt (other than an aggregate of $118,368 which shall remain due and owing to CIP) in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock.

This action will result in the termination of (i) that certain License Agreement dated July 20, 2007 between CIP and Ceelox Sub and (ii) that certain Exclusive Software Development Maintenance and Marketing Services Agreement dated July 20, 2007 between CIP and Ceelox Sub.

In connection with the shareholder consent, Ceelox Sub has agreed to execute and return certain documents that accompanied the Demand Letter on or before January 27, 2012, including the following: (i)Termination, Settlement and Full Release, (ii) Omnibus Bill of Sale and Assignment and (iii) Global Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights, (collectively, the “Settlement Agreements”).

The conversion price shall be determined as follows: (i) a 25% discount from the price per share (denominated in US dollars) at which the common stock is sold in a Qualified Offering (such price at which the common stock is sold in a Qualified Offering is referred to as the “Offering Price”) if the Qualified Offering occurs on or before the six (6) month anniversary of the final Closing Date; (ii) a 40% discount from the Offering Price if a Qualified Offering occurs after the six (6) month anniversary of the final Closing Date but on or before the twelve (12) month anniversary of the final Closing Date; or (iii) the greater of (x) a 40% discount from the VWAP of the common stock over the five (5) trading days prior to conversion, and (y) $0.10 per share if a Qualified Offering does not occur on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the final Closing Date.  For purposes hereof, the final Closing Date shall be the earlier of February 28, 2012 and the sale of an aggregate of $500,000 principal amount of the Notes.

The Company issued a five year warrant to the investor pursuant to which the investor shall have the right to acquire additional shares of the Company’s common stock.  The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note by the Conversion Price (as defined above pursuant to the Note) multiplied by twenty percent (20%).

Pursuant to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2012:  On November 23, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (“Agreement”) with P2P Cash, Inc. (“P2P”) for the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of P2P Ceelox, Inc. (“P2P Acquisition Corp.”).  The Agreement has been terminated by the mutual agreement of P2P and the Company.

Subsequent to the year end, the Company issued an aggregate 200,000 shares of common stock to service providers.

ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.


ITEM 9A.              CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), 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 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. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, Mr. Grannell, our CEO, and Mr. Moore, our CFO, concluded that our Disclosure Controls were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. As of December 31, 2011 we do not believe that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  The small size of our company does not provide for the desired separation of control functions, and we do not have the required closing process related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements.  The potential remedies for this situation are described below.

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). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2011 due to material weaknesses. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Audit Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting. Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

·     
The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired level of separation our internal controls and financial reporting. We do have a separate CEO and CFO; however, we do not have an Audit Committee to review and oversee the financial policies and procedures of the Company. Until such time we are able to install an audit committee, we do not meet the full requirement for separation. In the interim, we will continue to strengthen the role of our CEO and CFO and their review of our internal control procedures.

·     
The small size of our Company also limits our ability to achieve the desired level of closing process related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements to ensure that the Company identified and accumulated all required supporting information to ensure completeness and accuracy of the consolidated financial statements and that balances and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements reconciled to the underlying supporting schedules and accounting records.  Management hopes to further mitigate the risk of material weakness going forward by utilizing external financial consulting services, in a more effective manner, prior to the review by our principal independent accounting firm to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to material affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
