Part I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Company and Business

 

We are a telephone company, which manufactures, provides, sells and supplies commercial and residential telecommunication services, including services utilizing voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology, session initiation protocol (“SIP”) technology, wireless fidelity technology, wireless maximum technology, and other similar type technologies. Our main products are the “DUO”, DUO II” and the “DUO WIFI”. All of these products are analog telephone adapters that provide connectivity for analog telephones and faxes to home, home office or corporate local area networks (“LAN”). The DUO WIFI allows users to use these services without an Ethernet cable plugged into the device.

 

Our DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI and their related services are cost effective solution for individuals, small businesses and telecommuters connecting to any analog telephone, fax or private branch exchange (“PBX”). Our DUO, DUOII and DUO WIFI provide a USB port, one Ethernet port and one analog telephone port. The DUO WIFI additionally provides a wireless chip so that users can connect to the device over WIFI hotspots. A full suite of internet protocol features is available to maximize universal connectivity. In addition, analog telephones attached to our DUO, DUOII and DUO WIFI are able to use advanced calling features such as call forwarding, caller ID, 3-way calling, call holding, call retrieval, SMS, international call plans, local number portability and call transfer.

 

History and Overview

 

We are a Florida corporation, incorporated on May 1, 2006 under the name Discover Screens, Inc. (“Discover Screens”).

 

On September 10, 2008, we changed our name from Discover Screens, Inc. to NetTalk.com, Inc. and acquired certain tangible and intangible assets, formerly owned by Interlink Global Corporation (“Interlink”), related to our VOIP products.

 

Our Strategy

 

We continue to improve and enhance the following factors in building and expanding our customer base:

 

·

Deployment and distribution of our main products the DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI, NetTalk TV devices, IPhone and Androids applications for smartphones and tablets .

 

·

We offer our customers an attractive and innovative value proposition: a portable telephone replacement with multiple and unique features that differentiates our services from the competition.

 

·

Innovative, high technology and low cost technology platform. We believe our innovative software and network technology platform provides us with a competitive advantage over our competition and allows us to maintain a low cost infrastructure relative to our competitors.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We provide, sell and supply commercial and residential telecommunication services, including services utilizing voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology, session initiation protocol (“SIP”) technology, wireless fidelity technology, wireless maximum technology, marine satellite services technology and other similar type technologies. We are developing our business infrastructure and new products and services.

 

 

Our Products

 

At this time, our main products are the DUO, DUOII and DUO WIFI. Our DUO, DUOII and DUO WIFI are designed to provide specifications unique to each customer’s existing equipment. They allow the customer full mobile flexibility by being able to take internet interface anywhere the customer has an internet connection. Our DUO and DUO WIFI both have the following features:

 

	·	A Universal Serial Bus (“USB”) connection allowing the interconnection of our DUO and DUO WIFI to any host computer.

·

In addition to the USB power source option, our DUO and DUO WIFI have an external power supply allowing the phone to independently power itself when not connected to a host computer;

 

·

Unlike most VoIP telephone systems, our DUO and DUO WIFI both have standalone feature allowing them to be plugged directly into a standard internet connection.

 

·

Our DUO and DUO WIFI are compact, space-efficient products.

 

Our DUO, DUOII and DUO WIFI have interface components so that the customer can purchase multiple units that can communicate with each other allowing simultaneous ringing from multiple locations.

 

Our DUO products are portable and allow our customers to make and receive phone calls with a telephone anywhere a broadband internet connection is available. We transmit the calls using Voice over Internet Protocol “VOIP” technology, which converts voice signals into digital data transmissions over the internet.

 

Our Services

 

Our business is to provide products and services that utilize Voice Over Internet Protocol, which we refer to as “VoIP.” VoIP is a technology that allows the consumer to make telephone calls over a broadband internet connection instead of using a regular (or analog) telephone line. VoIP works by converting the user’s voice into a digital signal that travels over the internet until it reaches its destination. If the user is calling a regular telephone line number, the signal is converted back into a voice signal once it reaches the end user. Our business model is to develop and commercialize software technology solutions for cost effective, real-time communications over the internet and related services.

 

Patents – Domestic and International

 

Our product is under US patent number 8,243,722 as well as International patent pending in over 123 countries.

 

Marketing

 

We have developed direct sales channels, as represented by web sites and toll free numbers. Our direct sales channels are supported by highly integrated advertising campaigns across multiple media such as infomercials, television and other media channels. Our website is www.nettalk.com, our telephone number is 305-621-1200 and our fax number is 305-621-1201.

 

Our primary source of revenue is the sale and distribution of our netTalk DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI. We also generate revenue from the sale of accessories to our product and international long distance monthly charges that are billed to our customers.

 

Advertising

 

Our goal is to position ourselves as a premier supplier of choice for VoIP services. Our current business strategy is to focus our advertising dollars on our home market in South Florida. Our advertising will consist of mass marketing campaigns focusing on television infomercials for the South Florida market and other states including cable television channels..

 

Customers

 

Our customers are made up of retail, residential and small businesses. We anticipate that future services will appeal to our existing customers and hope that our additional phone products and services will provide a complete phone package experience to our customers.

 

 

Our target audience is individual consumers and small businesses looking to lower their current cost of telecommunications. We are also reaching a large audience with our websites. We hope that consumers will find our websites by doing an internet search for VoIP service providers. We also use other means of advertising such as direct to consumer sales, ecommerce and retail marketing co-ops with retail customers.

 

Geographic Markets

 

Our primary geographic market is North America. Our target audiences are individual consumers and small businesses looking to lower their current cost of telecommunications. We also expect to reach a large audience with our websites. We hope that consumers will find our websites by doing an internet search for VoIP service providers. We will also use other means of advertising such as direct to consumer sales, ecommerce and coop marketing with retail stores.

 

We have been granted and or are applying for Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) Licenses in multiple states, as follows:

 

Alabama	Hawaii	Massachusetts	New York	Utah
Arizona	Idaho	Michigan	North Carolina	Vermont
Arkansas	Illinois	Minnesota	North Dakota	Washington, D.C.
California	Indiana	Missouri	Ohio	Washington
Colorado	Iowa	Montana	Oregon	West Virginia
Connecticut	Kansas	Nebraska	Pennsylvania	Wisconsin
Delaware	Kentucky	Nevada	South Carolina	Wyoming
Florida	Maine	New Jersey	South Dakota
Georgia	Maryland	New Mexico	Texas

 

It is our intent to focus our expansion on the geographic markets in which we have been granted CLEC Licenses. We also intend to expand our market place to reach customers worldwide.

 

The Industry

 

In the past decade, the use of the internet for all purposes has exploded. VoIP is a technology that enables communications over the internet through the compression of voice, video and/or other media into data packets that can be efficiently transmitted over data networks and then converted back into the original media at the other end of the transmission. Since the introduction of the first VoIP technology in the mid 1990s, the quality and clarity of VoIP connections have continued to evolve and improve. Perhaps the biggest jump in VoIP quality came with the introduction of SIP, or Session Initiation Protocol. SIP is a text-based protocol suitable for integrated voice-data applications. Today SIP is the predominant industry standard for establishing multimedia communications over the Internet. As the clarity and quality of VoIP services have increased, so has the acceptance of VoIP by consumers.

 

As a result of the potential cost savings and added feature availability of VoIP, consumers, industry leaders and traditional telecommunication service providers see VoIP as the future of telecommunications. Factors that have been contributing to the boom in VoIP use include: (a) increased consumer demand for lower cost telephone services; (b) increased demand for long distance services as the market place becomes increasingly global; (c) improved reliability and quality of VoIP due to technological advances; and (d) innovations that allow services for VoIP users that are not available in traditional telephone services. These factor, and others, have resulted in various service providers and consumers exploring VoIP alternatives to traditional analog phone services.

 

Our Competition

 

The communications industry is highly competitive and significantly affected by regulatory changes, technology evolution, marketing strategies, and pricing decisions of the larger industry participants. The market for our services is evolving rapidly and is subject to shifting customer demands and the introduction of new products and services. Our current and potential competitors come from different market sectors and vary in size and scope with respect to the products and services that they offer or intend to offer in the future.

 

One of our competitors in the domestic market is traditional telephone service providers that are increasingly adding advanced service features to traditional telephone services. Domestic telephone providers have the advantage of having strong name recognition, large research and development budgets and existing service and market networks.

 

 

In addition, numerous vendors sell products and services using VoIP technology. Our competitors use innovations such as Analogue Terminal Adapters, or ATAs, to connect an analogue telephone to a VoIP network. Sometimes referred to as VoIP Gateways, these devices are widely advertised and sold. Sales are conducted by many different methods, including internet and infomercial sales, and barriers to entry into the business are low.

 

We also face competition from alternative communication methods such as internet, fax providers and voice mail service providers.

 

Many of our competitors may be better established, larger and better financed than us, and are able to use their visibility and substantial marketing resources to attract customers. In particular, many of our competitors are large, established network service providers that are able to market and distribute enhanced communication services within their already large base of subscribers.

 

As a result, these competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. They may also be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. Moreover, we may not have sufficient resources to undertake the continuing research and development necessary to remain competitive.

 

We differentiate our services from those offered by our competitors by offering exceptional customer service and lower cost alternatives. We have worked hard to control the development costs associated with the DUO, DUO II and DUOWIFI.                          We have done this by choosing phone components and component vendors that are economical but do not compromise on quality.        We have developed and marketed our own products and services, rather than simply reselling another manufacturer’s innovations. Finally, our DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI products are standalone phone products that do not require the user to first invest in a computer. For these reasons, we believe that our DUO DUOII and DUO WIFI product is a lower cost alternative to similar telephone products currently being marketed (because we are engaged in the same cost saving measures for the services we offer).                            We are able to offer those services at a competitive price.

 

Our products and services are user friendly and convenient for our customers; for example, our packaging includes detailed, user friendly instructions and diagrams to allow for easy installation and activation. We have distinguished ourselves from our main competitors through the level of customer service offered to our consumers following their purchase or our products or services. Many of our competitors only offer customer service through an email query program. This does not allow the customer to receive rapid, real-time problem solving assistance in the event our competitor’s product or service fails. We have established a customer service online forum where our users can post their questions and read other users’ responses. The forum has key word or key phrase search option so that our customers can easily find a solution to the problem they are experiencing. Our forum is moderated by one of our development engineers to ensure that all questions are being properly addressed and issues resolved. We also offer a live customer support hotline. This allows us to provide superior customer service, while still keeping our costs low.

 

Government Regulation

 

As a telecommunications supplier, we are subject to extensive government regulation. The majority of our government regulation comes from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”).

 

Telecommunications is an area of rapid regulatory change. Changes in the laws and regulations and new interpretations of existing laws and regulations may affect permissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and amounts paid to us for our services. We cannot predict the future of federal, state and local regulations or legislation, including FCC regulations.

 

Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulation

 

The FCC is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC’s jurisdiction covers all fifty states, the District of Columbia and U.S. possessions.

 

The FCC works to create an environment promoting competition and innovation to benefit communications customers. Where necessary, the FCC has acted to ensure VoIP providers comply with important public safety requirements and public policy goals.

 

Interconnected VoIP providers must comply with the Commission’s Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) requirements, including contributing to the TRS Fund used to support the provision of telecommunications services to persons with speech or hearing disabilities, and offering 711 abbreviated dialing for access to relay services. Interconnected VoIP providers and equipment manufacturers also must ensure that, consistent with Section 255 of the Communication Act, their services are available to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if such access is readily achievable.

 

 

Finally, the FCC now requires interconnected VoIP providers and telephone companies that obtain numbers from them to comply with Local Number Portability (LNP) rules. These rules allow telephone, and now VoIP, subscribers that change providers to keep the subscribers telephone numbers provided that they stay in the same geographic area. VoIP providers must also contribute to funds established to share LNP and numbering administrative costs among all telecommunications providers benefiting from these services.

 

The FCC monitors and investigates complaints against VoIP providers and, if necessary, can bring enforcement actions against VoIP providers that do not comply with applicable regulations.

 

Federal CALEA

 

On August 5, 2005, the Federal Communication Commission (the FCC) released an Order extending the obligation of the Communication Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (“CALEA”) to interconnect VOIP providers. Under CALEA , telecommunication carriers must assist law enforcement in executing electronic surveillance, which includes the capability of providing call content and call identifying information to local enforcement agencies, or LEA, pursuant to a court order or other lawful authorization.

 

The FCC required all interconnect VOIP providers to become CALEA compliant by May 14, 2007. We are fully compliant with CALEA.

 

State Telecommunication Regulation

 

We are also registered with the Florida Public Utilities Commission as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) and Interexchange (“IXC”) Carrier.

 

In Florida, a “competitive local exchange carrier” is defined as any company, other than an incumbent local exchange company, certificated by the Public Service Commission to provide local exchange telecommunication services in the state of Florida on or after July 1, 1995. CLEC companies providing services in Florida after July 1, 1995, must be certificated by the Florida Public Service Commission, and competitive local exchange companies are required to file a price list specifying their rates and charges for basic local telecommunication services.

 

Florida, as well as other states, also regulates providers of Interexchange Telecommunications (“IXC”). The Florida Public Service Commission includes the following as examples of IXC providers: (1) operator service providers; (2) resellers; (3) switchless re-billers; (4) multi-location discount aggregators; (5) prepaid debit card providers; and (5) facilities based interexchange carriers. Section 364.02(13) of the Florida Statutes requires IXCs to provide current contact information and a tariff to the Florida Public Service Commission.

 

We have been granted and or are applying for Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) Licenses in multiple states, as follows:

 

Alabama	Hawaii	Massachusetts	New York	Utah
Arizona	Idaho	Michigan	North Carolina	Vermont
Arkansas	Illinois	Minnesota	North Dakota	Washington, D.C.
California	Indiana	Missouri	Ohio	Washington
Colorado	Iowa	Montana	Oregon	West Virginia
Connecticut	Kansas	Nebraska	Pennsylvania	Wisconsin
Delaware	Kentucky	Nevada	South Carolina	Wyoming
Florida	Maine	New Jersey	South Dakota
Georgia	Maryland	New Mexico	Texas

 

The law relating to regulation of VoIP technology is in a flux. In recent court cases, other VoIP providers have challenged whether state regulations can be applied to VoIP technology or whether such regulation has been preempted by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other Federal laws. At least one of our competitors has successfully fought the application of state laws to VoIP technology. However, to be cautious, we will continue to obtain a competitive local exchange carrier license from each state in which we conduct business. An added advantage of obtaining a CLEC license from each state is that we can obtain an operational carrier number from the North American Numbering Plan Administration. The operational carrier number will allow us to assign our customers telephone numbers in the area code in which they reside.

 

 

Employees

 

We employ 26 full time employees, none of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We regard our domain names, patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade-secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners, and others to protect our proprietary rights.

 

We have filed multiple patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the technology associated with our products. We also have software under development by our employees, subcontractors and consultants.

 

The status of any patent involves complex legal and factual questions, and the breadth of claims allowed is uncertain. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that any patent application filed by us will result in a patent being issued or that our issued patents, and any patents that may be issued in the future, will afford adequate protection against competitors with similar technology. We similarly face the risk that any patents issued to us might be infringed or designed around by others.

 

Patents – Domestic and International

 

Our DUO product is under US patent number 8,243,722 as well as International patent pending in over 123 countries.

 

Research and Development

 

We expense research and development expenses as these costs are incurred. We account for our offering-related software development costs as costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product which are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. At this time, our main product the DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI is being sold in the market place. Therefore, research and development cost reported in our financial statements relates to development of upcoming new products.

 

On July 14, 2010 we revealed our product the netTALK DUO (“DUO”).

 

Our DUO offers our customers free nationwide calls to any landline or mobile phone in the U.S. and Canada from anywhere in the world, as well as low-cost international rates. It’s also a versatile digital phone service with no monthly fees, no contracts and no computer required.

 

Our DUO is flexible enough to connect directly to your Internet connection through the router/modem, there is also a convenient option with our DUO to connect to your computer. The sleek design is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, making it a portable device.

 

Our DUO reduces the wear and tear on your home or office computer and reduces energy costs, resulting in money savings. Our fax-friendly DUO, offers fax (incoming and outgoing), a unique feature not offered, to our knowledge, by similar digital phone services.

 

The portability of this small device is also great for international travelers who want to place free nationwide calls to the U.S. and Canada, or who are looking for a low-cost solution for international rates. Calls to other netTALK customers are always free.

 

We are presently working on other new products and anticipate future deployment the later part of this year and over the next year, including Nettalk “APP” for IPhone and Android and Nettalk TV.

 

Item 1 A. Risk factors

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Reference is made in particular to the description of our plans and objectives for future operations, assumptions underlying such plans and objectives and other forward-looking statements included in this section, “Item 1 Business,” “Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in other places in this Annual Report. Such statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of such terms. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Factors that could cause such results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth below.

 

 

Our business faces many risks. We believe the risks described below are the material risks we face. However, the risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional unknown risks or risks that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described below actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline significantly. Investors should consider the specific risk factors discussed below, together with the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other documents that we will file from time to time with the SEC.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS:

 

We have not sustained profits and our losses could continue. Without sufficient additional capital to apply to repay our indebtedness, we may be required to significantly scale back our operations, significantly reduce our headcount, seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and/or discontinue many of our activities which could negatively affect our business and prospects. Our current capital raising efforts may not be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms, or at all.

 

We have experienced significant losses in the past and never sustained profits. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded net losses of $14.7 and $29.8 million, respectively. For the three month ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we recorded net losses of $3.4 and $1.2 million, respectively. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 we recorded net losses of $27.7 and $6.4 million, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2012, we had $15.6 million in current senior debentures, demand notes and $1.4 million in long term mortgage debt.

 

While we believe that our current cash resources, together with anticipated cash flows from operating activities, will be sufficient to fund our operations, including interest payments, in 2013, they will not be sufficient to fund repayment of principal on our outstanding indebtedness in 2013. Further, we do not anticipate having sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay the debt should the senior debentures or mortgage debt lenders accelerate the maturity date of outstanding debt, and we would be forced to seek alternative sources of financing. In light of these circumstances, we will need to seek additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings.

 

However, there are no assurances that those efforts will be successful or that additional capital will be available on terms that do not adversely affect our existing stockholders or restrict our operations, if it is available at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights that are senior to holders of our common stock and could include different financial covenants, restrictions and financial ratios. The conversion of the convertible notes resulted in substantial dilution to our stockholders and any additional equity financing would also likely be substantially dilutive to our stockholders, particularly in light of the prices at which our common stock has been recently trading. In addition, if we raise additional funds through the sale of equity securities, new investors could have rights senior to our existing stockholders. The terms of any future financings may restrict our ability to raise additional capital, which could delay or prevent the further development or marketing of our products and services. Our need to raise capital before the repayment of our debt becomes due may require us to accept terms that may harm our business or be disadvantageous to our current stockholders, particularly in light of the current illiquidity and instability in the global financial markets.

 

Our business may be affected by factors outside our control .

 

Our ability to increase sales and to profitably distribute and sell our products and services is subject to a number of risks, including changes in our business relationships with our principal distributors, competitive risks such as the entrance of additional competitors into our markets, pricing and technological competition, risks associated with the development and marketing of new products and services in order to remain competitive and risks associated with changing economic conditions and government regulation. Our inability to overcome these risks could materially and adversely affect our operations.

 

 

Item 2. Properties

 

Description of properties

 

On August 8, 2011 we purchased an existing building located in Miami Gardens, Florida, currently used as our corporate offices and operational center. The building, a 21,675 square foot free standing structure, was purchased for $2,700,000 from Core Development Holdings Corporation, which entity has no relationship to the Company.

 

Interconnection Leasing Agreements

 

The Company will be entering into lease arrangements to provide interconnection services in multiple states. “Interconnection services” is defined in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the “Telecommunications Act”) as the linking of two telecommunication systems so that users of either system may utilize the system components of the other. Pursuant to the FCC rules implementing the

 

Telecommunications Act, we negotiate interconnection agreements with incumbent local exchange carriers to obtain access to facilities. Facilities leasing occurs where one network service provider leases the facilities of another network service provider to provide services to end users. We currently have executed two interconnection leasing agreements and are negotiating an interconnection leasing agreement with other major hosting/bandwidth companies. Our current interconnection leasing agreements are with multiple carriers. The agreements relate to facilities located or to be located in the following states:

 

Alabama	Hawaii	Massachusetts	New York	Utah
Arizona	Idaho	Michigan	North Carolina	Vermont
Arkansas	Illinois	Minnesota	North Dakota	Washington, D.C.
California	Indiana	Missouri	Ohio	Washington
Colorado	Iowa	Montana	Oregon	West Virginia
Connecticut	Kansas	Nebraska	Pennsylvania	Wisconsin
Delaware	Kentucky	Nevada	South Carolina	Wyoming
Florida	Maine	New Jersey	South Dakota
Georgia	Maryland	New Mexico	Texas

 

The agreements will grant us interconnection leasing rights in all forty-three states in which we have obtained or are pursuing a CLEC license. If we enter new markets, we expect to establish interconnection agreements with incumbent local exchange carriers on an individual state basis, as the need arises.

RULES GOVERNING LOW-PRICE STOCKS THAT MAY AFFECT ABILITY TO RESELL SHARES. Our common stock is subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks generally are securities with a price of less than $ 5.00 other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information with respect to transaction in such securities. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which could limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

 

 

The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver prior to any transaction involving the penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with the respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Holders

 

As of December 31, 2012, there were 170 registered holders or persons otherwise entitled to hold our common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. The transfer agent of our common stock is Fidelity Transfer.

 

Dividends

 

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception, and our Board of Directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future. Any future payment of dividends to holder of common stock will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

 

In June 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the treatment of participating securities in the calculation of earnings per shares (“EPS”). This guidance addresses whether instruments granted in share – based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing EPS under the two - class method. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position, or on basic or diluted EPS.

 

We apply the grant date fair value method to our share – based payment arrangements with employees and consultants. Share – based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant date fair value based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period. Share – based payments to non – employees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and reflected in expense over the service period.

Borrowing Arrangements

 

Long-term and short term debt

 

Securities Option Agreement:

 

On June 30, 2012, we executed Securities Option Agreement with Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) whereby Vicis grants us an option to purchase and redeem all securities and debentures held by Vicis. The option becomes exercisable on the date that all principal and accrued interest on all debentures have been paid in full, and may be exercised at any time after initial exercise date through and including December 31, 2013 (expiration date). Upon exercise of the “option” the redemption price for the securities shall be an amount equal to $16,000,000 minus the sum of principal and accrued interest paid on all debentures held by Vicis. Upon exercise of the option, any and all unpaid dividends on the securities shall be surrendered and cancelled without payment of additional consideration.

 

 

Extension of Maturity Dates of Outstanding Non-Convertible Debentures:

 

On June 30, 2012, we entered into an agreement to modify our outstanding debentures solely to extend their maturity dates that originally ranged from June 30, 2012 to July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. There were no other material modifications to the debentures and the holders received no additional consideration to effect the modification. As a result of these modifications, we evaluated each debenture to determine whether the maturity extension constituted a substantial modification. Under current accounting standards, from a debtor’s perspective, a modification of a debt instrument is deemed equivalent to the exchange of debt instruments if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the modified arrangement are at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original debt instrument. In cases where the difference in cash flows exceeds this level, extinguishment accounting is prescribed. As a result of our calculations, we concluded that the present values, using the effective interest rates on the issuance dates, of our face value $5,266,130, $2,000,000, and $3,500,000 debentures exceeded the substantive threshold. Accordingly, the debentures were adjusted to their respective fair values of $6,150,160, $2,313,888, and $3,852,748 and a corresponding charge to income in the amount of $3,135,235 representing the extinguishment loss.

 

The fair values of the debentures were determined based upon their future cash flows, discounted at a credit-risk adjusted market interest rate of 7.4%.

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

Revenues: Our operating revenue amounted to $5,790,983 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $3,548,714 at December 31, 2011. The increase in revenues relates to increases in sales to large retail customers and increases sales volume during the period ended December 31, 2012. We have historically benefitted from a high degree of revenue retention from both subscription based renewals and on demand customers. This high degree of customer retention means that our customers provide a stable and reliable cash flow retention model. Our customers typically pay us upfront and then use their downloads in a predictable pattern over time, which results in favorable cash flow and is adding predictability and stability to our financial performances.

 

Cost of sales: Our cost of sales amounted to $6,184,787 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $3,631,360 at December 31, 2011. The increase in cost of sales relates to increased sales to large retail customers and increasing sales volume during the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Advertising: Our advertising expenses amounted to $1,019,882 the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $2,391,898 at December 31, 2011. The breakdown of our advertising expense is as follows:

 

		12/31/2012				12/31/2011
Media and others		$	914,427			$	2,130,823
Smartphone			105,455				261,075
Total		$	1,019,882			$	2,391,898

 

Compensation and Benefits: Our compensation and benefits expense amounted to $1,692,237 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1,036,201 at December 31, 2011. This amount represents normal salaries and wages paid to management members and employees. The increase is due to the addition of employees in our development, engineering and operations departments.

 

Professional Fees: Our professional fees amounted to $884,580 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $379,929 at December 31, 2011. This amount includes normal payments and accruals for legal, accounting and other professional services related to general business and being a public company. The increase also relates to legal fees incurred in defending and securing our intellectual property rights and patents.

 

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $262,842 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $327,421 at December 31, 2011. These amounts represent amortization of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets using the straight-line method and lives commensurate with the assets’ remaining utility. Our long-lived assets, both tangible and intangible, are subject to annual impairment review, or more frequently if circumstances so warrant. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not calculate or record impairment charges, however, negative trends in our business and our inability to meet our projected future results could give rise to impairment charges in future periods.

 

Research and Development and Software Costs

 

We expense research and development expenses, as these costs are incurred. We account for our offering-related software development costs as costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product which are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. At this time our main products, the DUO, DUO II and DUO-WIFI are being sold in the market place.

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

Revenues: Our operating revenue amounted to $1,298,623 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $470,378 at December 31, 2010. The increase in revenues relates to increase in sales to large retail customers and increase sales volume during the three month period. We have historically benefitted from a high degree of revenue retention from both subscription based renewals and on demand customers. This high degree of customer retention means that our customers provide a stable and reliable cash flow retention model. Our customers typically pay us upfront and then use their downloads in a predictable pattern over time, which results in favorable cash flow and is adding predictability and stability to our financial performances.

 

Cost of sales: Our cost of sales amounted to $1,787,815 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compare to $724,988 at December 31, 2010. The increase in cost of sales relates to increased sales to large retail customers and increasing sales volume during the period.

 

Advertising: Our advertising expenses amounted to $606,209 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $109,996 at December 31, 2010. The breakdown of our advertising expense is as follows:

 

		12/31/2011				12/31/2010

Smartphone			74,576				-
Total		$	606,209			$	109,996

 

Compensation and Benefits: Our compensation and benefits expense amounted to $289,652 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $104,750 at December 31, 2010. This amount represents normal salaries and wages paid to management members and employees. The increase is due to the addition of employees in our development, engineering and operations departments.

 

 

Professional Fees: Our professional fees amounted to $136,118 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $68,094 at December 31, 2010.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $60,765 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $90,033 at December 31, 2010. These amounts represent amortization of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets using the straight-line method and lives commensurate with the assets’ remaining utility. Our long-lived assets, both tangible and intangible, are subject to annual impairment review, or more frequently if circumstances so warrant. During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not calculate or record impairment charges, however, negative trends in our business and our inability to meet our projected future results could give rise to impairment charges in future periods.

 

Research and Development and Software Costs

 

We expense research and development expenses, as these costs are incurred. We account for our offering-related software development costs as costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product and are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. At this time our main products, the DUO are being sold in the market place. Therefore, research and development cost reported in our financial statements relates to pre – marketing cost and are expensed accordingly.

Other			360,260				146,394
Total		$	1,484,971			$	547,075

 

Loss from operations: Loss from operations amounted to $6,323,169 and $3,091,901 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase in payroll and advertising expense to sustain our growth in the retail segment and support awareness of the Company’s products. Research and development expenses increased as a result of the DUO WIFI and other products expected to roll out during 2012.

 

Interest Expense: Interest expense amounted to $1,070,522 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $1,058,363 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Such amount represented (i) stipulated interest under our aggregate $4,998,773 face value convertible debentures that were converted to common stock during the year and our secured debenture issued on August 8, 2011, (ii) the related amortization of premiums and discounts (iii) the amortization of deferred finance costs. Aggregate premiums continue to be credited to interest expense over the term of the debentures using the effective interest method.

 

Derivative Income (Expense): Derivative income (expense) amounted to $(17,280,018) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 as compared to derivative income of $1,445,632 for the year ended September 30, 2010. Such amount represents the change in fair value of liability-classified warrants. Derivative financial instruments are carried as liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements with changes reflected in income. In addition to the liability-classified warrants, we also had certain compound derivative financial instruments related to our $4,998,773 face value convertible debentures that had de minimus values. We are required to adjust our warrant and compound derivatives to fair value at each reporting period. The fair value of our warrant derivative is largely based upon fluctuations in the fair value of our common stock. The fair value of our compound derivative is largely based upon estimates of cash flow arising from the derivative and credit-risk adjusted interest rates. Accordingly, the volatility in these underlying valuation assumptions will have future effects on our earnings.

 

Debt extinguished: Debt extinguished amounted to $1,293,538 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $3,617,983 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The amount represents loss recognized related to the June 30, 2011 transaction whereupon the investor converted debt into shares of our common stock and was granted inducement warrants to convert such debt; expense was also incurred to settle accrued interest as part of the transaction. The expense incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 related to the issuance of new debentures on February 24, 2010.

 

Net Loss: Net loss amounted to $26,176,565 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $6,306,963 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share: Basic loss per common share represents our net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. We compute the effects on diluted loss per common share arising from warrants and options using the treasury stock method. We computed the effects on diluted loss per common share arising from convertible securities using the if-converted method. The effects, are anti-dilutive and are excluded.

Critical Accounting Policies and estimates

 

Our accounting policies are discussed and summarized in Note 1 to our financial statements. The following describes our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The financial information contained in our comparative results of operations and liquidity disclosures has been derived from our financial statements. The preparation of those financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. The following significant estimates were made in the preparation of our financial statements and should be considered when reading our Management’s Discussion and Analysis:

 

●

Impairment of Long-lived Assets: Our telecommunications equipment, other property and intangible assets are material to our financial statements. Further, they are subject to the potential negative effects arising from technological obsolescence. We evaluate our tangible and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently in the presence of circumstances or trends that may be indicators of impairment. Our evaluation is a two-step process. The first step is to compare our undiscounted cash flows, as projected over the remaining useful lives of the assets, to their respective carrying values. In the event that the carrying values are not recovered by future undiscounted cash flows, as a second step, we compare the carrying values to the related fair values and, if lower, record an impairment adjustment. For purposes of fair value, we generally use replacement costs for tangible fixed assets and discounted cash flows, using risk-adjusted discount rates, for intangible assets. These estimates are made by competent employees, using the best available information, under the direct supervision of our management.

 

●

Intangible assets: Our intangible assets require us to make subjective estimates about our future operations and cash flows so that we can evaluate the recoverability of such assets. These estimates consider available information and market indicators including our operational history, our expected contract performance, and changes in the industries that we serve.

 

●

Share-based payment arrangements: We currently intend to issue share-indexed payments in future periods to employees and non-employees. There are many valuation techniques, such as Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model that we may use to value share-indexed contracts, such as warrants and options. All such techniques will require certain assumptions that require us to develop forward-looking information as well as historical trends. For purposes of historical trends, we may need to look to peer groups of companies and the selection of such groups of companies is highly subjective.

 

●

Common stock valuation: Estimating the fair value of our common stock is necessary in the preparation of computations related to acquisition, share-based payment and financing transactions. We believe that the most appropriate and reliable basis for common stock value is trading market prices in an active market.

 

●

Derivative Financial Instruments: We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as our secured convertible debenture and warrant financing arrangements that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. We are required to carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements. The fair value of share-indexed derivatives will be significantly influenced by the fair value of our common stock (see Common Stock Valuation, above). Certain other elements of forward-type derivatives are significantly influenced by credit-adjusted interest rates used in cash-flow analysis. Since we are required to carry derivative financial instruments at fair value and make adjustments through earnings, our future profitability will reflect the influences arising from changes in our stock price, changes in interest rates, and changes in our credit standing.

 

 

Revenue recognition

 

We derive revenue from (i) product sales and (ii) telecom services. All revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition and SAB 104 as follows: when evidence of an arrangement exists, in the case of products, when the product is shipped to a customer, or in the case of telecom services, when the service is used by the consumer, when the fee is fixed or determinable and finally when we have concluded that amounts are collectible from the customers. Shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

 

Operating revenue consist of customer equipment sales of our main product the NetTalk DUO (“DUO”), telecommunication service revenues, shipping and handling revenues.

 

Our DUO provides for revenue recognition from the sale of the device and from the sale of telephone service. The initial year of telephone service is included on the sale price at time of sale and billed subsequently thereafter. Therefore, revenue recognition on our DUO is fully recognized at the time of our customer equipment sale, the one year telephone service is amortized over 12 month cycle. Subsequent renewals of the annual telephone service are amortized over the corresponding 12 months cycle.

 

International calls are billed as earned from our customers. International calls are prepaid and customers account is debited as minutes are used and earned.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of the cost of customer equipment and is stated at the lower of cost or market.

 

 At the present time we do not provide for inventory allowance. As we continue to sell our product we will evaluate the need for such an allowance.

 

		December 31,				December 31,
Inventory		2012				2011
Productive material and supplies		$	869,740			$	1,186,916
Finished goods			598,034				1,018,339
Total		$	1,467,774			$	2,205,255

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, in accordance with our lower of cost or market analyses we did not record any lower of cost or market adjustments to our finished goods inventories.

 

Of our $598,034 of finished goods inventory at December 31, 2012, $140,200 is held on consignment at one of our distributors.

 

Of our $1,018,339 of finished goods inventory at December 31, 2011, $170,402 was held on consignment at one of our distributors.

 

Income taxes

 

We recognize deferred taxes for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using tax rates in effect for the year. We have recorded a valuation allowance on the assumption that realization of the benefits is not more likely than not.

 

Net operating loss carry-forwards

 

As of December 31, 2012, we had net operating loss carry-forwards in the amount of $35,490,620 for US federal and state tax purposes expiring at various times thru 2031.

 

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update that amends the guidance provided in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, by clarifying some existing concepts, eliminating wording differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changing some principles to achieve convergence between GAAP and IFRS. The update results in a consistent definition of fair value, establishes common requirements for the measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and IFRS, and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This update became effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data

 

The financial statements are part of this filings and are contained herein.

 

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in 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. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

As of December 31, 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at December 31, 2012:

 

·

Due to the Company’s limited resources, the Company has insufficient personnel resources and technical accounting and reporting expertise to properly address all of the accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions. The Company does not have a formal audit committee, and the Board does not have a financial expert, thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

 

The Company’s small size and “one-person” office prohibits the segregation of duties and the timely review of accounts payable, expense reporting and inventory management and banking information.

 

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to developed procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

 

Management report on internal control over financial reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financing reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by or under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

●

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of assets of the company;

 

●

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

●

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not detect or prevent misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in internal control – integrated framework. Based on our assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria.

 

In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at December 31, 2012:

 

·

Due to the Company’s limited resources, the Company has insufficient personnel resources and technical accounting and reporting expertise to properly address all of the accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions. The Company does not have a formal audit committee, and the Board does not have a financial expert, thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

·

The Company’s small size and “one-person” office prohibits the segregation of duties and the timely review of accounts payable, expense reporting and inventory management and banking information.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to developed procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented. Failure to develop adequate internal control and hiring of qualified accounting personnel may result in a “material weakness” in the Company’s internal control relating to the above activities.

 

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, the management’s report is not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

 

The following is a discussion of our program for compensating our named executive officers and directors. Currently, we do not have a compensation committee, and as such, our board of directors is responsible for determining the compensation of our named executive officers.

 Our board of directors considers a variety of factors in determining compensation of executives including the executive’s background, training and prior work experience.

Our compensation program for the named executive officers consists primarily of base salary. There is no bonus plan or retirement plan.

The base salary we provide is intended to equitably compensate the named executive officers based upon their level of responsibility, complexity and implementation of our business plan.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NetTalk.com, Inc. at December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles .

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses from operations its total liabilities exceeds its total assets, and is dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Nature of operations and basis of presentation:

 

NetTalk.com, Inc. (“NetTalk” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 1, 2006 under the laws of the State of Florida. We are a telephone company, who provides, sells and supplies commercial and residential telecommunication services, including services utilizing voice over internet protocol (“VoIP”) technology, session initiation protocol (“SIP”) technology, wireless fidelity technology, wireless maximum technology, marine satellite services technology and other similar type technologies. Our main products are the DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI, they are analog telephone adapters that provides connectivity for analog telephones and faxes to home, home office or corporate local area networks (“LAN”). The DUO WIFI can connect to an internet hotspot without the use of an Ethernet cable. Our DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI and their related services are a cost effective solution for individuals, small businesses and telecommuters connecting to any analog telephone, fax or private branch exchange (“PBX”). Our DUO, DUO II and DUO WIFI provide one USB port, one Ethernet port and one analog telephone port.

A full suite of internet protocol features is available to maximize universal connectivity. In addition, analog telephones attached to our DUO. DUO II and DUO WIFI are able to use advanced calling features such as call forwarding, caller ID, 3-way calling, call holding, call retrieval and call transfer.

 

Note 2 – Going concern and management’s plans:

 

The presentation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles contemplates that operations will be sustained for a reasonable period. However, we have incurred operating losses of $14,715,006 and $28,389,302 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The company is also highly leverage with $15.6 million senior debentures and demand notes and $1.4 million in mortgage debt. In addition, during these periods, we used cash of $5,248,675 and $7,577,533, respectively, in support of our operations. As more fully discussed in Note 6, we have material redemption requirements associated with our senior debentures and demand notes, during the year ended December 31, 2013. Since our inception, we have been substantially dependent upon funds raised through the sale of preferred stock and warrants to sustain our operating and investing activities. These are conditions that raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

 

If future defaults occur under the senior debentures or mortgage agreement, the Company does not anticipate having sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay the debt under these agreements should it be accelerated and would be forced to restructure these agreements and/or seek alternative sources of financing. There can be no assurances that restructuring of the debt or alternative financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. In the event of an acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the senior debentures or mortgage agreement and the Company’s failure to pay the amounts that would then become due, the senior debenture lender and mortgage agreement lender could seek to foreclose on the Company’s assets.

 

In order for the Company to meet the debt repayment requirements under the senior debentures and mortgage agreement, the Company will need to raise additional capital by refinancing its debt, raising equity capital or selling assets. Uncertainty in future credit markets may negatively impact the Company’s ability to access debt financing or to refinance existing indebtedness in the future on favorable terms, or at all. If additional capital is raised through the issuance of debt securities or other debt financing, the terms of such debt may include different financial covenants, restrictions and financial ratios other than what the Company currently operates under. Any equity financing transaction could result in additional dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders.

 

In January 2013 the company received $400,000 of funding from an additional advance on a promissory note from the mortgage from 1080 NW 163 Drive, LLC. Notwithstanding the additional funding, our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period is dependent upon achieving our management’s plan for the company generating profitable operations. We cannot give any assurances regarding the success of management’s plan. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability of recorded assets or liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Change in Fiscal Year

 

On May 26, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30, to December 31, effective December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “years” of “fiscal” refer to the twelve-month fiscal year, which prior to October 1, 2011 ended on September 30. As a result of this change, the financial statements include the Company’s financial results for the three month transition period of October 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include developing fair value measurements upon which to base our accounting for acquisitions of intangible assets and issuances of financial instruments, including our common stock. Our estimates also include developing useful lives for our tangible and intangible assets and cash flow projections upon which we determine the existence of, or the measurements for, impairments. In all instances, estimates are made by competent employees under the supervision of management, based upon the current circumstances and the best information available.

 

Risk and Uncertainties

 

Our future results of operations and financial condition will be impacted by the following factors, among others: dependence on the worldwide telecommunication markets characterized by intense competition and rapidly changing technology, on third-party manufacturers and subcontractors, on third-party distributors in certain markets, on the successful development and marketing of new products in new and existing markets. Generally, we are unable to predict the future status of these areas of risk and uncertainty.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We derive revenue from (i) product sales and (ii) telecom services. All revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition and SAB 104 as follows: when evidence of an arrangement exists, in the case of products, when the product is shipped to a customer, or in the case of telecom services, when the service is used by the consumer, when the fee is fixed or determinable and finally when we have concluded that amounts are collectible from the customers. Shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

 

Operating revenue consist of customer equipment sales of our main product the NetTalk DUO (“DUO”), telecommunication service revenues and shipping and handling revenues.

 

Our DUO provides for revenue recognition from the sale of the device and from the sale of telephone service. The initial year of telephone service is included on the sale price at time of sale and billed subsequently thereafter. Therefore, revenue recognition on our DUO is fully recognized at the time of our customer equipment sale, the one year telephone service is amortized over 12 month cycle. Subsequent renewals of the annual telephone service are amortized over the corresponding 12 months cycle.

 

International calls are billed as earned from our customers. International calls are prepaid and customers account is debited as minutes are used and earned.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid cash balances and debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash balances only in domestic bank accounts, which at times, may exceed FDIC limits. Our cash balances did not exceed the FDIC limits at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are recorded at average cost or market, whichever is lower.

 

		December 31,
Inventory		2012				2011
Productive material and supplies		$	869,740				1,186,916
Finished goods			598,034				1,018,339

During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, in accordance with our lower of cost or market analyses, we did not record lower of cost or market adjustment to our finished goods inventories.

Of our $1,018,339 of finished goods inventory at December 31, 2011, $170,402 was held on consignment at one of our distributors.

 

 

Telecommunications Equipment and Other Property

 

Property, equipment and telecommunication equipment includes acquired assets which consist of network equipment, computer hardware, furniture and software. All of our equipment is stated at cost with depreciation calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets, which range from three to five years. The costs associated with major improvements are capitalized while the cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operating expenses.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Our intangible assets were recorded at our acquisition cost, which encompassed estimates of their relative fair values, as well as estimates of the fair value of consideration that we issued. We amortize our intangible assets using the straight-line method over lives that are predicated on contractual terms or over periods we believe the assets will have utility.

 

Impairments and Disposals

 

We evaluate our tangible and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently in the presence of circumstances or trends that may be indicators of impairment. Our evaluation is a two-step process. The first step is to compare our undiscounted cash flows, as projected over the remaining useful lives of the assets, to their respective carrying values. In the event that the carrying values are not recovered by future undiscounted cash flows, as a second step, we compare the carrying values to the related fair values and, if lower, record an impairment adjustment. For purposes of fair value, we generally use replacement costs for tangible fixed assets and discounted cash flows, using risk-adjusted discount rates for intangible assets.

 

Research and Development and Software Costs

 

We expense research and development costs, as these costs are incurred. We account for our offering-related software development costs as costs are incurred internally in creating a computer software product which are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Thereafter, all software production costs shall be capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. Research and development costs reported in our financial statements relate to pre–marketing costs of new upcoming products.

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years financial statements in order to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassification had no impact on net earnings previously reported.

 

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

 

We apply the grant date fair value method to our share – based payment arrangements with employees and consultants. Share – based compensation cost to employees is measured at the grant date, fair value is based on the value of the award, and is recognized over the service period. Share – based payments to non – employees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and reflected in expense over the service period.

Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments, as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825 Financial Instruments, consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, secured convertible debentures, and derivative financial instruments.

 

We carry cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at historical costs since their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values due to their current nature. We also carry convertible debentures and redeemable preferred stock at fair values.

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815-10-15-83 Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

 

Certain risks and concentration

 

Our manufacturing partner accounted for approximately 44% of our cost of goods sold and 0% of outstanding accounts payable at year ended December 31, 2012.

 

One of our customers presently operates under a “Consignment Agreement”. Under the agreement we sell and ship merchandise to our customer and collect payments upon sale of our product to ultimate (final) consumer.

 

Redeemable Preferred Stock

 

Redeemable preferred stock is initially evaluated for possible classification as liabilities under ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Redeemable preferred stock that does not, in its entirety, require liability classification is evaluated for embedded features that may require bifurcation and separate classification as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. In all instances, the classification of the redeemable preferred stock host contract that does not require liability classification is evaluated for equity classification or mezzanine classification based upon the nature of the redemption features. Generally, any feature that could require cash redemption for matters not within our control, irrespective of probability of the event occurring, requires classification outside of stockholders’ equity. See Note 7 for further disclosures about our redeemable preferred stock.

 

Loss per common share

 

Basic loss per common share represents our loss applicable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. We compute the effects on diluted loss per common share arising from warrants and options using the treasury stock method or, in the case of liability classified warrants, the reverse treasury stock method. We compute the effects on diluted loss per common share arising from convertible securities using the if-converted method. The effects, are all anti-dilutive and are excluded.

 

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update that amends the guidance provided in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, by clarifying some existing concepts, eliminating wording differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changing some principles to achieve convergence between GAAP and IFRS. The update results in a consistent definition of fair value, establishes common requirements for the measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and IFRS, and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This update became effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 6 – Securities Option Agreement, Secured Convertible Debentures, Senior Debentures and Demand Notes :

 

Mortgage promissory note:

 

On November 29, 2012, we borrowed $1,000,000 from a lender and in exchange, the Company issued a 12% promissory note and a mortgage and security agreement. The 12% promissory note, among other matters, accrues interest at 12% per annum, is payable in full on November 29, 2014, and is secured by our corporate office building, located at 1080 NW 163^rd Drive, Miami Gardens, FL 33169.

 

 

At December 31, 2012, principal repayments requirements on mortgage payable were as follows:

 

For the year ended December 31,:
2013		$	0
2014		$	1,000,000
		$	1,000,000

 

On January 11, 2013, we received an additional advance of $400,000 pursuant to its existing lending facility with 1080 NW 163rd Drive, LLC. The additional advance of $400,000 was endorsed by a promissory note which was consolidated with the initial advance of $1,000,000 from the mortgage on 1080 NW 163rd Drive, LLC. The consolidated promissory mortgage note has an aggregate principal balance of $1,400,000, accrues interest at 12% per annum, is payable in full on November 29, 2014, and is secured by our corporate office building, located at 1080 NW 163rd Drive, Miami Gardens, FL 33169.

 

Securities Option Agreement:

 

On June 30, 2012, we executed a Securities Option Agreement with Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) whereby Vicis grants us an option to purchase and redeem all securities and debentures held by Vicis. The option becomes exercisable on the date that all principal and accrued interest on all debentures has been paid in full, and may be exercised at any time after initial exercise date through and including December 31, 2013 (expiration date). Upon exercise of the “option” the redemption price for the securities shall be an amount equal to $16,000,000 minus the sum of principal and accrued interest paid on all debentures held by Vicis. Upon exercise of the option, any and all unpaid dividends on the securities shall be surrendered and cancelled without payment of additional consideration.

 

Extension of Maturity Dates of Outstanding Non-Convertible Debentures:

 

On June 30, 2012, we entered into an agreement to modify our outstanding debentures solely to extend their maturity dates that originally ranged from June 30, 2012 to July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. There were no other material modifications to the debentures and the holders received no additional consideration to effect the modification. As a result of these modifications, we evaluated each debenture to determine whether the maturity extension constituted a substantial modification. Under current accounting standards, from a debtor’s perspective, a modification of a debt instrument is deemed equivalent to the exchange of debt instruments if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the modified arrangement are at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original debt instrument. In cases where the difference in cash flows exceeds this level, extinguishment accounting is prescribed. As a result of our calculations, we concluded that the present values, using the effective interest rates on the issuance dates, of our face value $5,266,130, $2,000,000, and $3,500,000 debentures exceeded the substantive threshold. Accordingly, the debentures were adjusted to their respective fair values of $6,150,160, $2,313,888, and $3,852,748 and a corresponding charge to income in the amount of $3,135,235 representing the extinguishment loss.

 

The fair values of the debentures were determined based upon their future cash flows, discounted at a credit-risk adjusted market interest rate of 7.4%.

 

2012 Issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures and Demand Notes

 

On March 29, 2012, we issued a face value $500,000, 10% senior secured debenture, due June 30, 2012, extended to December 31, 2013

15,640,336

 

2011 Issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures

 

On August 8, 2011 and September 30, 2011, we issued face value $2,000,000 12% debentures, due July 1, 2013, and face value $3,500,000 10% debentures, due June 30, 2012, respectively, for aggregate cash of $5,500,000. Concurrent with these financing transactions we also issued the investor warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of our common stock for $0.50 for periods of five years.

 

We allocated the gross proceeds from the financing transactions to the debentures and the warrants based upon their relative fair values, as reflected in the following table:

 

August 8, 2011 Financing Arrangement		Fair Values				Relative Fair Values
$2,000,000 face value of debentures		$	2,127,063			$	721,642
Warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares of common stock			3,768,000				1,278,358
		$	5,895,063			$	2,000,000

 

September 30, 2011 Financing Arrangement		Fair Values				Relative Fair Values
$3,500,000 face value of debentures		$	3,560,675			$	1,695,404
Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock			3,790,000				1,804,596
		$	7,350,675			$	3,500,000

 

The fair value of the debentures was computed based upon the present value of all future cash flows, using a credit risk adjusted discount rates ranging from 7.63% to 7.86%. This discount rate was developed based upon bond curves of companies with similar high risk credit ratings plus a range of 0.25% to 0.36% risk free rate based upon yields for zero coupon government securities with maturities consistent with those of the debentures. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Binomial Lattice technique. The effective volatility and risk free rates resulting from the calculations were 55.15% — 129.86% and 0.07% — 1.11%, respectively.

 

June 30, 2011 Financing, Debt Settlement, and Accrued Interest Settlement

 

On June 30, 2011, we issued face value $5,266,130, 12% debentures, due July 1, 2013 and warrants to purchase 21,064,520 shares of our common stock for $0.50 per share, which expire five years from the issuance date, for $2,500,000 cash, settlement of $2,500,000 in bridge financing and settlement of $266,130 in accrued interest on the former convertible debentures. See discussion on the conversion of the convertible debentures, below. The cash and advance settlement were accounted for as financing transactions. The settlement of the accrued interest was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt.

 

 

The debentures were allocated $5,000,000 face value and $266,130 to the financing and extinguishment, respectively. Applying that same relationship, we allocated 20,000,000 and 1,064,520 warrants to the financing and extinguishment, respectively.

 

We allocated the gross proceeds from the financing transaction to the debentures and the warrants based upon their relative fair values, as reflected in the following table:

 

		Fair Values				Relative Fair Values
$5,000,000 face value of debentures		$	5,340,195			$	2,029,536
Warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of common stock			7,816,000				2,970,464
		$	13,156,195			$	5,000,000

 

The fair value of the debentures was computed based upon the present value of all future cash flows, using a credit risk adjusted discount rate of $7.75%. This discount rate was developed based upon bond curves of companies with similar high risk credit ratings plus a 0.50% risk free rate based upon yields for zero coupon government securities with maturities consistent with those of the debentures. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Binomial Lattice valuation technique. The effective volatility and risk free rate used in the calculation were 113.8% and 1.70%, respectively.

 

For purposes of the extinguished instrument, we recorded the allocated face value of the debentures and the allocated number of warrants at their fair values. The difference between these amounts and the carrying value of the settled obligation was recorded as an extinguishment loss in our income, as follows:

 

		Extinguishment Calculation
$266,130 face value of debentures		$	284,238
Warrants to purchase 1,064,520 shares of common stock			416,014
			700,252
Carrying value of settled obligation			266,130
Extinguishment loss		$	434,122

  

The fair value of the debentures and the warrants were determined in the same manner as those allocated to the financing and as described above.

 

The total carrying value of the debentures arising from the financing and the extinguishment transactions amounted to $2,313,774. This discounted balance is subject to amortization through charges to interest expense over the term to maturity using the effective interest method. Amortization commenced on July 1, 2011.

 

2011 Conversion of All Outstanding Convertible Debentures:

 

On June 30, 2011, the holder of all of our secured convertible debentures issued in connection with 2010 Convertible Debenture Exchange (see discussion below) converted said debentures for an aggregate of 19,995,092 shares of common stock, which was in accordance with the contractual conversion price. On the date of the conversion, the compound embedded derivatives associated with the secured convertible debentures were adjusted to fair value resulting in a credit to derivative income in the amount of $2,514,209. Following the derivative adjustment, the adjusted carrying value of the compound embedded derivative ($8,797,840) and carrying value of the secured convertible notes ($4,998,773) were combined in the amount of $13,796,613 and reclassified to stockholders equity to give effect to the issuance of the common shares.

 

Further, on the June 30, 2011 conversion date we issued the holders of the secured convertible debentures warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock as conversion inducement consideration. These warrants have a five year term and a strike price of $0.50 per common share. The warrants meet all conditions for equity classification. The fair value of the warrants, determined using the Noreen Wolfson dilution adjustment model for the Black Scholes Merton valuation technique, amounted to $390,800 which has been recorded in expense. The volatility and risk free rate used in the Black Scholes Merton calculation were 113.8% and 1.70%, respectively.

 

 

2010 Convertible Debenture Exchange:

 

Our convertible debentures were issued on February 24, 2010 in connection with an exchange agreement with our creditors that provided for, among other things, the consolidation of our previous secured convertible debt instruments, originally issued in connection with our 2008 Convertible Debenture Financing and 2009 Convertible Debenture (see discussion below), and included the capitalization of $798,773 of accrued interest. The newly issued convertible debentures bore interest at 12%, which was payable at the earlier of the maturity date or the date that the debentures were converted, if ever. Such interest was payable at the Company’s option in cash or common stock at $0.25 per common share. The principal amount of the debentures was convertible into common stock at $0.25. Accordingly, the convertible debenture was indexed to 19,995,092 shares of our common stock.

 

Our accounting for the aforementioned exchange transaction required us to consider whether the exchange resulted in a substantial modification to the original convertible debentures based upon either cash flows or the fair value of the embedded conversion feature, wherein is generally defined as a change greater than 10%. In all instances, our calculations indicated that the exchange of convertible debentures resulted in changes that were substantial to either cash flows, the embedded conversion option, or both. As a result, we were required to extinguish the prior debt instruments and reestablish the new convertible debentures at fair value, with the difference reflected in our expenses.

 

The following table reflects the components of our extinguishment calculations on February 24, 2010:

 

		Convertible Debenture Due
		June 30, 2011				July 20, 2011				September 30 2011				Total
Fair value of new debenture		$	7,767,450			$	1,490,256			$	3,196,102			$	12,453,808
Carrying value of old debentures:
Debentures			1,713,124				152,755				267,000				2,132,879
Accrued Interest			546,000				87,166				165,607				798,773
Compound embedded derivative			3,723,200				750,000				1,632,400				6,105,600
Deferred finance costs			(85,372	)			(23,933	)			(92,122	)			(201,427	)
			5,896,952				965,988				1,972,885				8,835,825
Extinguishment loss		$	1,870,498			$	524,268			$	1,223,217			$	3,617,983

 

The fair values of the Secured Convertible Debentures were determined based upon their respective discounted cash flow, using observable market rates, plus the fair value of the embedded conversion options. Observable market rates on the exchange date ranged from 7.91% for one-year and 8.47% for two years and were derived from publicly available surveys of corporate bond curves for issuers with similar risk characteristics as ours. The fair value of our compound embedded derivatives were determined using the Monte Carlo Simulations model. See Note 8. The compound embedded derivatives were adjusted to fair value on the exchange date, immediately before the exchange transaction, which amount is included in our derivative income (expense).

 

The fair value of the new convertible debentures was allocated to the debt balance, the compound embedded derivative and paid-in capital. Paid-in capital arises in this transaction, because the allocation resulted in premiums which, under accounting principles, are considered equity components. The following table summarizes the allocation on the exchange date:

 

		Convertible Debenture due
		June 30, 2011				July 20, 2011				September 30 2011				Total
Convertible debentures		$	3,146,000			$	587,166			$	1,265,607			$	4,998,773
Compound embedded derivative			4,505,072				880,749				1,878,161				7,263,982
Paid-in capital			116,378				22,341				52,334				191,053
		$	7,767,450			$	1,490,256			$	3,196,102			$	12,453,808

 

Our accounting for the original debenture financings is as follows:

 

2008 Convertible Debenture Financing

 

On September 10, 2008, we issued a $1,000,000 face value, 12% secured convertible debenture (T-1), due September 10, 2010 and Series B warrants indexed to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for the Interlink Asset Group, discussed in Note 3. Also on September 30, 2008, we issued a $500,000 face value 12% secured convertible debenture (T-2), due September 10, 2010 and Series B warrants indexed to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for net cash proceeds of $472,800. The warrants have a term of five years. These financial instruments were issued to the same creditor under contracts that are substantially similar, unless otherwise mentioned in the following discussion.

 

 

The principal amount of the debentures was initially payable on September 10, 2010 and the interest was payable quarterly, on a calendar quarter basis. While the debenture was outstanding, the investor had the option to convert the principal balance, and not the interest, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per common share. Each such debenture was exchanged on February 24, 2010 for a new debenture issued by the Company.

 

2009 Convertible Debenture Financings

 

We entered into several Securities Purchase Agreements with Debt Opportunity Fund, LLP (“DOF”) during the year ended September 30, 2009.

 

On January 30, 2009 we issued (a) 12% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 with a maturity date of January 30, 2011, convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25; and (b) Series C Warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 for net cash proceeds of $507,900. The warrants have a term of five years.

 

On February 6, 2009 we issued (a) 12% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 with a maturity date of January 30, 2011, convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25; and (b) Series C Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 for net cash proceeds of $443,250. The warrants have a term of five years.

 

On July 20, 2009, we issued (a) 12% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 with a maturity date of July 20, 2011, convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25; and (b) Series C Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 for net cash proceeds of $446,250. The warrants have a term of five years.

 

On September 25, 2009, we issued (a) 12% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000 with a maturity date of July 20, 2011, convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25; and (b) Series C Warrants to purchase 4,400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 for net cash proceeds of $1,000,000. The warrants have a term of five years.

 

Each debenture bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum from the date of issuance until paid in full. Each such debenture was exchanged on February 24, 2010 for a new debenture issued by the Company. (see discussion above)

 

Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“Midtown Partners”), a NASD registered broker dealer, acted as the placement agent for the Company in connection with the January 30, July 20, and September 25, 2009 Convertible Debt Offerings (“2009 Convertible Debt Offerings”). We paid Midtown Partners cash commissions equal to $198,000 and we issued Series BD Common Stock Purchase Warrants to Midtown Partners entitling Midtown Partners to purchase 1,720,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share and 440,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price $0.25 per share. Since the Series BD warrants offered full ratchet anti-dilution protection, any previously issued and outstanding warrants with a conversion price greater than $0.25 automatically had their conversion price ratchet down to $0.25 as subsequent issuances were made with a conversion price of $0.25.

 

On September 22, 2009 we voided and reissued warrants in connection with our financing transactions. The cancellation and reissuance of warrants was treated as a modification under ASC 470-50 Modifications and Extinguishments although the change in cash flow was <10% so extinguishment accounting was not applicable.

 

Cancelled and re-issued warrants were as follows:

 

Original Warrants		Indexed Shares				Strike Price				Reissued Warrants		Indexed Shares				Strike Price
C-1 warrants			2,400,000			$	0.50			C-3 warrants			2,400,000			$	0.50
C-2 warrants			2,000,000			$	0.50			C-4 warrants			2,000,000			$	0.50
BD-1 warrants			480,000			$	0.50			BD-4 warrants			240,000			$	0.25
										BD-5 warrants			240,000			$	0.50
BD-2 warrants			400,000			$	0.50			BD-6 warrants			200,000			$	0.25
										BD-7 warrants			200,000			$	0.50
BD-3 warrants			200,000			$	0.50			BD-8 warrants			200,000			$	0.25
BD-4 warrants			200,000			$	0.50			BD-9 warrants			200,000			$	0.50

 

 

Accounting for the Financing Arrangements:

 

We have evaluated the terms and conditions of the secured convertible debentures under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. We have determined that, while the anti-dilution protections preclude treatment of the embedded conversion option as conventional, the conversion option is exempt from classification as a derivative because it otherwise achieves the conditions for equity classification (if freestanding) provided in ASC 815. We have further determined that the default redemption features described above are not exempt for treatment as derivative financial instruments, because they are not clearly and closely related in terms of risk to the host debt agreement. On the inception date of the arrangements through June 30, 2010, we determined that the fair value of these compound derivatives is de minus. However, we are required to re-evaluate this value at each reporting date and record changes in its fair value, if any, in income. For purposes of determining the fair value of the compound derivative, we have evaluated multiple, probability-weighted cash flow scenarios. These cash flow scenarios include, and will continue to include fair value information about

 

our common stock. Accordingly, fluctuations in our common stock value will significantly influence the future outcomes from applying this technique. As discussed above, the embedded conversion options did not require treatment as derivative financial instruments; however, we were required to evaluate the feature as embodying a beneficial conversion feature under ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) is present when the fair value of the underlying common share exceeds the effective conversion price of the conversion option. The effective conversion price is calculated as the basis in the financing arrangement allocated to the hybrid convertible debt agreement, divided by the number of shares into which the instrument is indexed. Because the two hybrid debt contracts dated September 10, 2008 were issued as compensation for the Interlink Asset Group and as further discussed in Note 3 we concluded that they should be combined for accounting purposes and the accounting resulted in no beneficial conversion feature. The financings issued in 2009 were found to have a BCF which gives effect to the (i) the trading market price on the contract dates and (ii) the effective conversion price of each issuance after allocation of proceeds to all financial instruments sold based upon their relative fair values. Notwithstanding, the BCF was limited to the value ascribed to the remaining hybrid contract (using the relative fair value approach). Accordingly, the BCF allocated to paid-in capital from the 2009 financings amounted to $872,320 for the year ended September 30, 2009.

 

We evaluated the terms and conditions of the Series B, Series C and Series BD warrants under the guidance of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). The warrants embody a fundamental change-in-control redemption privilege wherein the holder may redeem the warrants in the event of a change in control for a share of assets or consideration received in such a contingent event. This redemption feature places the warrants within the scope of ASC 480-10, as put warrants and, accordingly, they are classified in liabilities and measured at inception and on an ongoing basis at fair value. Fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique and in applying this technique we were required to develop certain subjective assumptions which are listed in more detail below.

 

Premiums on the secured convertible debentures arose from initial recognition at fair value, which is higher than face value. Discounts arose from initial recognition at fair value, which is lower than face value. Premiums and discounts are amortized through credits and debits to interest expense over the term of the debt agreement.

 

Direct financing costs were allocated to the financial instruments issued (hybrid debt and warrants) based upon their relative fair values. Amounts related to the hybrid debt are recorded as deferred finance costs and amortized through charges to interest expense over the term of the arrangement using the effective interest method. Amounts related to the warrants were charged directly to income because the warrants were classified in liabilities, rather than equity, as described above. Direct financing costs are amortized through charges to interest expense over the term of the debt agreement.

 

Note 7 – Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stock Option Agreement:

 

Securities Option Agreement:

 

On June 30, 2012, we executed Securities Option Agreement with Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) whereby Vicis grants us an option to purchase and redeem all securities and debentures then held by Vicis. The option becomes exercisable on the date that all principal and accrued interest on all debentures has been paid in full, and may be exercised at any time after initial exercise date through and including December 31, 2013 (expiration date).

 

Upon exercise of the “option” the redemption price for the securities shall be an amount equal to $16,000,000 minus the sum of principal and accrued interest paid on all debentures then outstanding.

 

In addition, upon exercise of the option, any and all unpaid dividends on the securities shall be surrendered and cancelled without payment of additional consideration.

 

 

Redeemable preferred stock consists of the following as of:		December 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, stated value $10,000 per share; 500 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2012; redemption value $5,000,000, and 500 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2011; redemption value $5,000,000.
Initial carrying value		$	13,246,609			$	13,246,609
Accumulated accretion			(6,867,593	)			(2,863,652	)
Carrying values		$	6,379,016			$	10,382,957

 

Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock became mandatorily redeemable for cash of $5,000,000 on June 30, 2011. On that date, after negotiations with our preferred investors, we modified the underlying Certificate of Designation solely to extend the mandatory redemption date to July 1, 2013 (extended to December 31, 2013). In considering all facts and circumstances, including the changes in future cash flows and the fair value of the embedded conversion feature, we concluded that the modification to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was substantial, thus warranting accounting analogous to extinguishment accounting for debt wherein the fair value of the amended contracts replace the carrying value of the original contracts. The difference between those two amounts in the case of preferred stock is recorded in stockholders equity.

 

We first accreted the Series A Convertible to the June 30, 2011 redemption date with a charge to paid-in capital (in the absence of accumulated earning) in the amount of $2,442,686. The accretion adjustment resulted in a carrying value of our redeemable preferred stock in the amount of $5,000,000. We then adjusted the compound embedded derivative that had been carried in liabilities at fair value on the modification date, which resulted in a reduction credit of $2,500,000 and was recorded in income. The derivative fair value adjustment resulted in a carrying value of $8,800,000. Therefore, the combined carrying value of the Series A Convertible Preferred immediately preceding the modification amounted to $13,800,000. We computed the fair value using a combination of the forward cash flow, at risk adjusted discount rates, plus the fair value of the embedded conversion feature using Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”) techniques. The value of the preferred stock on this basis amounted to $13,246,609. As a result, our calculation of the extinguishment resulted in a credit to paid-in capital in the amount of $553,391.

 

The discount rate that we used to present value future cash flows from the modified preferred stock amounted to 7.75%. This rate was developed using bond curves for companies with similar high-risk credit ratings, plus a risk free rate of 0.50% representing the yield on zero coupon government securities with two year remaining terms. Material inputs into the MCS included volatilities ranging from 89.9% to 105.3%, a market interest rate equal to the contractual coupon of 12%, and credit adjusted yields ranging from 7.19% to 7.75%.

 

On February 24, 2010, we designated 500 shares of our authorized preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; par value $0.001 per share, stated value $10,000 per share (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash on June 30, 2011 at the stated value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends accrue, whether or not declared, at a rate of 12% of the stated value. The Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at the holder’s option at $0.25 based upon the stated value (20,000,000 linked common shares). Such conversion rate is subject to adjustment for traditional reorganizations and recapitalization and in the event that we sell common stock or other equity-linked instruments below the conversion price. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to a preference equal to the stated value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. While the Preferred Stock is outstanding, holders vote the number of indexed common shares.

 

We sold 300 shares of Series A Preferred on February 24, 2010, with warrants to purchase 12,000,000 shares of our common stock for proceeds of $3,000,000. We sold 200 shares of Series A Preferred on October 25, 2010, with warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares of our common stock for proceeds of $2,000,000.

 

Our accounting for the Preferred Stock and warrant financing transaction required us to evaluate the classification of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants. As a prerequisite to establishing the classification of the embedded conversion option, we were required to determine the nature of the hybrid Preferred Stock contract based upon its risks as either a debt-type or equity-type contract. The presence of the mandatory cash redemption and the requirement to accrue dividends were persuasive evidence that the Preferred Stock was more akin to a debt than an equity contract, with insufficient evidence to the contrary (e.g. voting privilege). Given that the embedded conversion feature, when evaluated as embodied in a debt-type contract, did not meet the definition for an instrument indexed to a company’s own stock, the embedded conversion feature required bifurcation and classification in liabilities, at fair value. Similarly, the warrants did not meet the definition for an instrument indexed to a company’s own stock, resulting in their classification in liabilities, at fair value.

 

 

The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase price on the financing date:

 

Allocation:		October 25, 2010				February 24, 2010
Redeemable preferred Stock		$	624,000			$	—
Warrants			936,000				5,062,800
Compound embedded derivative			440,000				4,260,000
Derivative loss, included in derivative income (expense)			—				(6,322,800	)
		$	2,000,000			$	3,000,000

 

Warrants issued with the February 24, 2010 financing were valued on the financing date using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. Significant assumptions were as follows: Market value of underlying, using the trading market of $0.58; expected term, using the contractual term of 5.0 years; market volatility, using a peer group of 90.20%; and, risk free rate, using the yield on zero coupon government instruments of 2.40%. Warrants issued with the October 25, 2010 financing were valued on the financing date and subsequently using Binomial Lattice. Significant assumptions were as follows: Market value of the underlying, using the trading market of $0.26; market volatility, using a peer group ranged from 76.06% to 99.78% with an equivalent volatility of 89.40%; and risk free rate using the yield on zero coupon government instruments ranging from 0.12% to 2.01% with an equivalent rate of 0.66%. The implied expected life of the warrant is 4.7 years.

 

The compound embedded derivative was valued using the Monte Carlo Simulations (“MCS”) technique. The MSC technique is a generally accepted valuation technique for valuing embedded conversion features in hybrid convertible notes, because it is an open-ended valuation model that embodies all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs that management of the Company believe would likely be considered in connection with the arms-length negotiation related to the transference of the instrument by market participants. However, there may be other circumstances or considerations, other than those addressed herein, that relate to both internal and external factors that would be considered by market participants as it relates specifically to the Company and the subject financial instruments.

 

Given its redeemable nature, we are required to classify our Series A Preferred Stock outside of stockholders’ equity. Further, the inception date carrying value is subject to accretion to its ultimate redemption value over the term to redemption, using the effective method. During the period from its issuance to September 30, 2010, we accreted $224,969, which was reflected as a charge to paid-in capital in the absence of accumulated earnings.

 

Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments:

 

On June 30, 2011, our investors agreed to modifications of our Series A Preferred Stock and our Series D Warrants that provided for reclassification of the derivatives to stockholder’s equity or, in the case of the preferred stock, redeemable preferred stock. The components of our derivative liabilities consisted of the following at June 29, 2011 (the last closing prices available prior to the modifications) and September 30, 2010:

 

		June 29, 2011

Total			78,955,092			$	24,287,440			$	5,905,622

 

 

On January 11, 2011, certain warrants previously issued to brokers and that were linked to 2,160,000 shares of our common stock were modified to remove provisions that could result in adjustments to the exercise prices if we sold common shares or common share linked contracts at a per share price that was less than the exercise price of these warrants. As a result of this modification, these warrants no longer require liability classification and measurement at fair value. On the modification date we adjusted these warrants to their fair values with a charge to income and reclassified the balance, amounting to $274,200 to paid-in capital. On June 30, 2011, warrants linked to 36,800,000 shares of our common stock were modified to remove provisions that could result in adjustments to the exercise prices if we sold common shares or common share linked contracts at a per share price that was less than the exercise price of these warrants. As a result of this modification, these warrants no longer require liability classification and measurement at fair value. On the modification date we adjusted these warrants to their fair values with a charge to income and reclassified the balance, amounting to $6,689,600 to paid-in capital.

Effective on January 1, 2011, we changed our method for valuing our derivative warrants from a Black-Scholes Merton Model, adjusted to give effect to the anti-dilution features (the Noreen Wolfson Model) to Binomial Lattice. Binomial Lattice was considered by our management to be more appropriate because it both provides for early exercise scenarios and incorporates the down-round anti-dilution protection possibilities that could arise in early exercise scenarios.

 

The following table reflects the activity in our derivative liability balances from October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2012:

Effective on October 1, 2009, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 07-05 Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”). EITF 07-05 amended previous guidance related to the determination of whether equity-linked contracts, such as our convertible debentures, meet the exclusion to bifurcation and derivative classification of the respective embedded conversion feature. Under EITF 07-05, the embedded conversion option was no longer exempt from bifurcation and derivative classification because the conversion option was subject to adjustments that are not allowable under the new standard. We have accounted for the change as a change in accounting principle where the derivative liability in the amount of $1,865,600 was established and the cumulative effect, which amounted to $872,319, was charged to our opening accumulated deficit on October 1, 2009.

 

As more fully discussed in Note 6, on February 24, 2010, we exchanged our convertible debentures for newly issued convertible debentures. This amount represents the change in the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives between the old and new debentures, which in part arose from the capitalization of accrued interest and in part arose from other changes to the debentures. As further noted in Note 6, the exchange transaction gave rise to the extinguishment of the old debentures, and therefore the compound derivative, due to the substantive nature of these changes. Since an extinguishment is recorded by replacing the carrying value of the old debentures with the fair value of the new debentures, with a charge to expense for the difference, this amount is included in the extinguishment loss that we recorded in connection with the exchange.

 

 

Fair Value Considerations

 

We adopted the provisions of ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) with respect to our financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Our derivative financial instruments which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under of ASC 815 are all measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

We selected the Monte Carlo Simulations valuation technique to fair value the compound embedded derivative because we believe that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving such types of derivatives while the financial instruments were outstanding. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk free rates. On June 29, 2011, we valued the compound embedded derivatives at intrinsic value since there was no or no material remaining time value associated with mature or near mature financial instruments.

Note 11 – Income taxes:

 

Our income tax provision (benefit) for the year ended December 31, 2012, three months ended December 31, 2011 and fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2011 consisted of the following:

 

Our effective tax rate differs from statutory rates, as follows:

 

		12/31/2012				12/31/2011				09/30/2011				09/30/2010
Federal statutory rate			34.0	%			34.0	%			34.0	%			34.0	%
State rate, net of federal benefit			3.6	%			3.6	%			3.6	%			3.6	%
Derivative income			0.0	%			4.3	%			4.3	%			4.3	%
Change in valuation allowance			(37.6	)%			(41.9	)%			(41.9	)%			(41.9	)%
Effective tax rate			0.0	%			0.0	%			0.0	%			0.0	%

 

Deferred tax assets and (liabilities) reflects the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred taxes are as follows:

 

		12/31/2012				12/31/2011				09/30/2011				09/30/2010
Property and fixed assets		$	(58,032	)		$	(34,102	)		$	(37,723	)		$	(62,704	)
Reserves and accruals			8,554				8,554				8,554				8,554
Net operating loss carry forwards			12,355,046				7,069,018				5,786,123				2,902,843
			12,305,568				7,043,470				5,756,954				2,848,693
Valuation allowance			(12,305,568	)			(7,043,470	)			(5,756,954	)		$	(2,848,693	)
Net deferred taxes, after valuation allowance		$	-			$	-			$	-			$	-

 

Our valuation allowance increased $5, 262,098 and $1,286,506 during the period ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Based on our prior earnings and insufficiency of income to be utilized in carry back years and future taxable income, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that these net deferred tax assets will not be utilized. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been set up to reduce deferred tax assets to zero. As of December 31, 2012, we have net operating loss carry forwards amounting to $35,490,620 that are available, subject to limitations, to offset future taxable income through 2031. The company is also not taking any uncertain tax position in the calculation of current or deferred taxes.

 

The Company files income tax returns for U. S. Federal and State of Florida purposes. The Company is not currently under any tax examination, but the statute of limitations has not yet expired. The company generally remains subject to examination of its U. S. Federal income tax returns for 2009 and subsequent years as the Internal Revenue Service has a three year window to assess/collect taxes. In addition, the company also remains subject to examination of its State of Florida tax returns for 2009 and subsequent years.
