PART I

Item 1.  Business

Corporate Overview

We develop and market products for the detection of military and commercial explosives for the homeland security market. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 22, 2002, under the name of Medina International Corp. On May 4, 2006, we changed our name to ACRO Inc. We effected this change of name by merging our company with a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company that we had formed specifically for this purpose. We have a wholly-owned subsidiary, Acrosec Ltd. (Acrosec), incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Effective January 1, 2009, we entered into an Intellectual Property Assignment and Services Termination Agreement with our wholly owned subsidiary, Acrosec Ltd., pursuant to which, among others, we effected a transfer of all of our intellectual property, including patents and technology, to Acrosec, in consideration for an amount representing the value of the intellectual property as will be determined by an independent third-party appraiser selected by us and Acrosec. Concurrently, the services agreement between us and Acrosec, dated March 7, 2007, pursuant to which Acrosec provided us certain research, development, manufacturing and management services, was terminated. The Intellectual Property Assignment and Services Termination Agreement effectively render ACRO as a holding company.

Initially, our business had been to provide professional consulting services for the technical and economic evaluation of petroleum and natural gas resources.  However, since we were not successful in implementing our initial business plan for consulting services, we decided to no longer offer consulting services to oil and gas companies.  Accordingly, on March 15, 2006, we completed our acquisition of a patent for $120,000 pursuant to a patent purchase agreement with Prof. Ehud Keinan, which we refer here as the Patent Purchase Agreement. The patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,767,717, describes a method of detection of peroxide-based explosives.

 We are a development stage company with little history of research and development of explosives detection equipment. We are currently contemplating to cease our current operations and purchase new technologies.

As of December 31, 2013, we had not realized any significant revenues from operations and experienced an operating loss of $232,175.

Recent Business Developments

On March 6, 2014, we reported an amendment to the June 30, 2012 Convertible Promissory Note issued to Top Alpha Capital (“TAC”), an Israeli company and ACRO’s controlling shareholder (the "2012 Note").  Pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Note, the loan provided by TAC to ACRO was due and payable on December 31, 2013.  In accordance with the amendment, the due date for the note has been extended to December 31, 2014, and in consideration for this extension, the conversion rate has been amended from one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.0165383 principal amount of the note and accrued interest, to one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.001 principal amount of the note and accrued interest.

On February 26, 2014, we entered into a new employment agreement with Asaf Porat, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer.  Pursuant to this new employment agreement, Mr. Porat shall continue to serve as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company at an annual salary of $90,000.  The new employment agreement is effective as of February 1, 2014, and shall be in effect for a term of two years. The remaining terms of Mr. Porat's new employment agreement are substantially the same as the terms of Mr. Porat's prior employment agreement with ACRO.

Reverse Split

In January 2012, we effectuated a ten for one (10:1) reverse stock split. As a result, the outstanding common stock of ACRO, Inc. decreased from 193,487,806 to 19,349,000.

2011 Private Placement

On July 5, 2011, we entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Top Alpha Capital, an Israeli corporation, for the sale of 96,613,788 shares of our common stock, representing 49.9% of our outstanding share capital, for the total consideration of US$160,000 ("Transaction"). The purchase price was funded by available funds. Top Alpha capital is a non-U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and the issuance of the shares was made in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The share purchase closed on July 28, 2011.

Pursuant to the Agreement, simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction, convertible notes held by BioTech Knowledge LLC, a company owned by Professor Keinan, in the aggregate amount of $185,774, were converted into 23,221,750 shares of our common stock.

Pursuant to the Agreement, as long as Mr. Aner and Mr. Bronfeld continue to hold any of our shares that they held as of the closing, they shall have the right to veto any transaction with Top Alpha capital, e.g, the issuance of shares or compensation to Top Alpha capital.  This veto right shall terminate upon any of the following events: (a) a merger between ACRO and another entity; (b) an asset acquisition by ACRO; (c) ACRO’s purchase of shares of another entity, or (d) acquisition by a third party of a controlling interest in ACRO.

Our Products

Our first product is called the Peroxide Explosives Tester (ACRO-P.E.T.). ACRO-P.E.T. is a small, disposable, pen-like probe which detects the presence of peroxide-based explosives using three chemical solutions and relies on direct contact with the suspicious substance. ACRO-P.E.T. has been designed for rapid, on-site detection of peroxide-based explosives. Its main advantages are high sensitivity, high selectivity, fast response, simple operation, high mobility, small size and cost effectiveness. In November 2006, we completed the first production of the ACRO-P.E.T. for evaluation by potential customers. In 2007, we developed a new version of ACRO-P.E.T. which enables easier verification of peroxide-based explosives, such as triacetone triperoxide (TATP). In addition, in the new version we improved the sampling device to enable easy and immediate sampling of suspicious liquids, in addition to all other forms of explosives, such as powder. The new version has been available for sale since mid 2007.

In addition, we developed the ACRO-N.E.T. (Nitride Explosives Tester), which detects the presence of commercial and military explosives. ACRO-N.E.T. incorporates into our pen-like device the explosive testing kit of the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), licensed to us under an agreement dated October 28, 2007, with a subsidiary of IIBR called Life Science Research Israel Ltd. (LSRI). ACRO-N.E.T. is based on the LSRI explosive detecting kit, called ETK. The ETK is capable of identifying the full range of well known types of military and commercially available explosives, and also of homemade explosives based on nitrate and chlorate salts. This device, ACRO-N.E.T., complements ACRO-P.E.T. by providing the possibility to detect explosives other than TATP. Its operation system and advantages are the same as the ACRO-P.E.T.; however, it uses different solutions and detects different explosives. We also signed several agreements with LSRI pursuant to which we may distribute the ETK and ETK 5, exclusively, in several countries. The ETK’s kits complete our products.

The ACRO-SET is a sensitive, rapid and reliable kit for field detection and identification of trace explosives. Weighing about one-quarter of a pound, this kit contains the ACRO-PET, which detects improvised explosives such as TATP, and the ACRO-NET, which detects the entire range of the nitro explosives including all conventional explosives, the improvised ammonium nitrate, ANFO, and urea nitrate. Conveniently packed in a belt pouch, the Acro-SET is, in effect, a portable, inexpensive micro-laboratory for identification of all explosives by any law enforcement personnel.

Since the fourth quarter of 2007, we have delivered samples of ACRO-SET to several distributors and potential clients in many countries including the USA, UK, China, Canada, Spain, Singapore, Japan, South Africa, Australia, Serbia, Italy, Germany, Luxemburg, South Korea, India, New Zealand and Russia. During 2010, we had sales in the aggregate amount of $79,227, in 2011, we had sales of $3,300, in 2012 and 2013, we had sales of $0.

ACRO-N.E.T. is based on the LSRI explosive detecting kit, called ETK Nevertheless, we cannot assure that ACRO-P.E.T. and ACRO-N.E.T. will gain commercial acceptance in the marketplace.

During 2008, we developed a product called “TATP Simulant”. The TATP Simulant is a hands-on tool of practicing detection and identification of peroxide based explosives such as TATP and HMTD. We delivered samples of TATP Simulant to several clients, but at this stage we cannot estimate the commercial value of this product, if any.

During 2009, we developed the ACRO-CH.E.T. (Chlorates Explosives Tester) which detects chlorate based explosives traces and the ACRO-U.E.T (Urea nitrate Explosives Tester) which detects the presence urea nitrate traces. Both products have low false positive and negative alarm rates.

During the first quarter of 2010, we completed the development of Acro-ANET, a specific tester and a trace-detector of ammonium nitrate. The white crystals of ammonium nitrate are commonly used in agriculture as high-nitrogen fertilizer and are the main component of ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO), an increasingly popular component of improvised explosive devices.

We are currently contemplating ceasing our current operations and purchasing new technologies.

The Market

Improvised explosive devices based on peroxide, as well as other explosives materials, have increasingly been used in recent years by various terrorist organizations. This has generated growing interest in technology that can detect this threat. The main reason for the growth in the use of peroxide-based explosives by terrorist groups is that such explosives can be easily “home-made” using inexpensive, readily-available starting materials which can be purchased in most hardware and paint stores, even in bulk quantities. One class of such peroxide-based explosives can be easily produced by reacting various carbonyl compounds (e.g. ketones, aldehydes and their derivatives) with hydrogen peroxide under acid catalysis. For example, when a mixture of acetone, hydrogen peroxide and small amounts of a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid is left for several hours at room temperature, white crystals of triacetone triperoxide, commonly referred to as TATP, and diacetone diperoxide, commonly referred to as DADP, are formed.

The three overall methods of explosives detection in use today are as follows:

 
(a)
Manual – searching by hand and/or with the use of specially-trained dogs. This practice involves obvious risks.

 
(b)
Bulk Detection – attempting to detect macroscopic mass on the basis of characteristic-specific gravity using X-ray or CT techniques.

 
(c)
Trace Detection – sensing the presence of explosives through chemical identification of microscopic residues of the compound, in either vapor or particle form. Trace detection is generally used to resolve alarms raised when suspicious items are identified either manually or through bulk detection.

Consequently, and in view of the increased use of such peroxide-based explosives by terrorists, especially in the Middle East as well as in other parts of the world, there exists an urgent need for highly-sensitive methods and devices for the early detection of peroxide-based explosives and improvised explosive devices employing them.

Competition

We are competing with other developers and manufacturers of explosive detection devices. Several of our competitors announced efforts to develop devices that detect TATP. Most of these devices are based on air-sampling followed by spectral analysis using various methods. These instruments, which are quite heavy and expensive, are designed primarily for checkpoint stations, such as airports and we do not consider them as competing products to ours. There are several more products in the market that are similar to our products, but most of them are based on wet chemistry (it is necessary to drop different solutions on the suspected material), which is unfriendly and unsafe use. Another system used to identify explosives makes use of “spray” but it is unsafe and less accurate.

Manufacturing

We engage subcontractors for the manufacture of the plastic parts of our products. We have no long-term supply agreement with our sole supplier and manufacturer, and cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such components on a timely basis or at acceptable prices.

Intellectual Property

Our success will depend in part on our ability, and the ability of our future licensees, to obtain patent protection for the technology and processes we acquired pursuant to the Patent Purchase Agreement with Prof. Keinan. Under the Patent Purchase Agreement, we purchased the technology covered by United States Patent No. 6,767,717 issued on July 27, 2004.

This Patent involves a method for the detection of explosives. The abstract describes “a method of detecting a peroxide-based explosive in a sample suspected of consisting of or comprising such explosive, which method comprises dissolving said sample in a suitable organic solvent, contacting the solution with an aqueous solution of a strong acid capable of decomposing said explosive to release hydrogen peroxide, and contacting the resulting mixture with a peroxide enzyme.”

In addition, pursuant to our agreement with LSRI, we have obtained a license allowing us to incorporate the long-proven technology of IIBR’s explosives testing kit into our pen-like device. This will enable our pen-like device to detect commercial and military explosives.

We are currently contemplating ceasing our current operations and purchasing new technologies in which case, our success will depend on our ability to purchase such new technologies.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, we did not invest funds in research and development activities.

Government Approvals

Our ability to develop and commercialize our products is dependent upon approval from certain governmental security organizations.

Employees

As of February 1, 2014, we entered into an amended employment agreement with Asaf Porat, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Porat shall receive an annual salary of $90,000.

As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Porat had accrued $134,167 in unpaid salary.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Risks Relating to Our Lack of Operating History

Our business is at an early stage of development and we may not develop explosive detection devices that can be commercialized.

The success of our business is dependent on our ability to develop successfully explosive detection devices. Our ability to achieve this goal is unproven, and the lack of operating history makes it difficult to validate our business plan. In addition, the success of our business plan is dependent upon acceptance of our explosive detection devices by potential customers. Should the target market not be as responsive as we anticipate, we will not have in place alternate services or products that we can offer to ensure our continuing as a going concern.

Management believes that it currently has sufficient funds to continue our planned activities at least through the end of 2014.  We also expect to continue to incur operating losses in future periods. These losses will occur because we do not yet have significant revenues to offset the expenses associated with the development and marketing of our explosive detection devices. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in generating significant revenues in the future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.

We have a history of operating losses and we may not achieve future revenues or operating profits.

We have a history of operating losses and we anticipate generating losses until we are able to generate significant revenues. We do not anticipate generating significant revenues in the near future. Therefore, we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in us.

We have a going concern note indicating the possibility that we may not be able to continue to operate.

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2013 include a going concern note, which raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, we may face difficulty in obtaining additional necessary funding.  There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve any revenues or profitability. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are unproven, and the lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of our business.
 
 
4

 

We have had no significant revenues for the last three years.

While we had revenues of $79,227 in 2010, we only had sales revenues of $3,300 in 2011 and $0 sales revenues in 2012 and in 2013.  We intend to focus on the development or acquisition of new technologies and products, but there is no guarantee we will be able to do so.

We have a limited operating history on which investors may evaluate our operations and prospects for profitable operations.

We have not generated any significant revenues over the last three years.  There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any significant operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Our business plan may be unsuccessful.

The success of our business plan is dependent on our ability to develop successfully our explosive detection devices. Our ability to develop products for this market is unproven, and the lack of operating history makes it difficult to validate our business plan. In addition, the success of our business plan is dependent upon acceptance of our explosive detection devices by potential customers. Should the target market not be as responsive as we anticipate, we will not have in place alternate services or products that we can offer to ensure our continuing as a going concern.

Our officers have no experience in operating a company that develops, manufactures, and sells explosive detection devices.

Since our officers and directors have no experience in operating a company in our field of activity they may make inexperienced or uninformed decisions regarding the development of products for this market, the operation of our business, or the marketing of our products, which could harm our business and result in our having to suspend or cease operations, which could cause investors to lose their entire investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Our executive officers and directors have been appointed by our major stockholder and may take actions that may be different than actions sought by our other stockholders.

Our officers and directors were appointed by Top Alpha Capital, which owns approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Top Alpha Capital is therefore able to exercise significant influence over all executive matters and over all matters requiring stockholder approval. This influence over our affairs might be adverse to the interest of our other stockholders.  In addition, this concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control and might have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Our officers and directors are located in Israel and our assets may also be held from time to time outside of the United States.

Since all of our officers and directors are located in Israel, any attempt to enforce liabilities upon such individuals under the U.S. securities and bankruptcy laws may be difficult.

In accordance with the Israeli Law on Enforcement of Foreign Judgments, 5718-1958, and subject to certain time limitations (the application to enforce the judgment must be made within five years of the date of judgment or such other period as might be agreed between Israel and the United States), an Israeli court may declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if it finds that:
 
 
the judgment was rendered by a court which was, according to the laws of the State in which the court is located, competent to render the judgment;

 
the judgment may no longer be appealed;

 
the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel and the substance of the judgment is not contrary to public policy; and

 
the judgment is executory in the State in which it was given.
 
 
5

 
 
An Israeli court will not declare a foreign judgment enforceable if:
 
 
the judgment was obtained by fraud;

 
there is a finding of lack of due process;

 
the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law in Israel;

 
the judgment is in conflict with another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or

 
the time the action was instituted in the foreign court, a suit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel.

Furthermore, Israeli courts may not adjudicate a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws if the court determines that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. Even if an Israeli court agrees to hear such a claim, it may determine that Israeli law, not U.S. law, is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process.

Our assets may also be held from time to time outside of the United States.  Since our Directors and executive officers are foreign citizens and do not reside in the United States, it may be difficult for courts in the United States to obtain jurisdiction over our foreign assets or persons, and as a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to enforce judgments rendered against us or our Directors or executive officers in United States courts. Thus, investing in us may pose a greater risk because should any situation arise in the future in which you would have a cause of action against these persons or against us, you may face potential difficulties in bringing lawsuits or, if successful, in collecting judgments against these persons or against the Company.

We may not be able to raise the required capital to conduct our operations and develop and commercialize our products.

We have not generated any significant revenues over the last three years. We have not completed the development of our products, and we may not be able to execute our business plan.  If we do not generate any significant revenues, we may require additional financing in order to establish profitable operations. Such additional financing, if required, may not be forthcoming. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms we find favorable. Failure to secure any needed additional financing may have a serious effect on our company's ability to survive. At this time, there are no anticipated additional sources of funds in place.

If we continue to suffer losses, investors may not receive any return on their investment and may lose their entire investment. Our prospects must be considered speculative in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly in light of the uncertainties relating to the new, competitive and rapidly evolving markets in which we anticipate we will operate. To attempt to address these risks, we must, among other things, further develop our technology and product, successfully implement our development, marketing and commercialization strategies, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. A substantial risk is involved in investing in us because, as an early stage company we have fewer resources than an established company, our management may be more likely to make mistakes at such an early stage, and we may be more vulnerable operationally and financially to any mistakes that may be made as well as to external factors beyond our control.

We expect to continue to incur operating losses in future periods. These losses will occur because we do not yet have any significant revenues to offset the expenses associated with the development of our explosive detection devices. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in generating significant revenues in the future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.

Our lack of business diversification could result in the loss of your investment if revenues from our primary products decrease.

Currently, our business is focused on the development of explosive detection devices. We do not have any other lines of business or other sources of revenue if we are unable to successfully implement our business plan. Our lack of business diversification could cause you to lose all or some of your investment if we are unable to generate revenues from the sale of our products since we do not have any other lines of business or alternative revenue sources.

We need to retain key personnel to support our activities and ongoing operations, and a loss of certain key personnel could significantly hinder our ability to move forward with our business plan.

The development and operation of our business will continue to place a significant strain on our limited personnel, management, and other resources. Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and other needed key employees and contractors who have critical industry experience and relationships that we will rely on to implement our business plan.  Competition for senior management, marketing personnel and other employees is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.  The loss of the services of any of our officers or the lack of availability of other skilled personnel would negatively impact our ability to market and sell our product, which could adversely affect our financial results and impair our growth.

Since our officers and Directors may work or consult for other companies, their other activities could slow down our operations.

Our officers and directors are not required to work exclusively for us and do not devote all of their time to our operations. Presently, our officers and directors allocate only a portion of their time to the operation of our business.  Therefore, it is possible that their pursuit of other activities may slow our operations and reduce our financial results because of the slow-down in operations.

We are a small company with limited resources compared to some of our current and potential competitors and we may not be able to compete effectively and increase market share.

Most of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources, and name recognition, and a larger base of customers than we have. As a result, these competitors have greater credibility with our potential customers. They also may be able to adopt more aggressive licensing policies and devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products and services than we can to ours.

Failure to meet customers’ expectations or deliver expected performance could result in losses and negative publicity, which would harm our business.

If our explosive detection devices fail to perform in the manner expected, then our revenues may be delayed or lost due to adverse customer reaction. In addition, negative publicity about us and our products could adversely affect our ability to attract or retain customers. Furthermore, disappointed customers may initiate claims for damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for their disappointment.

Risks Relating to Technology and Intellectual Property

The explosive detection market is subject to rapid technological change.

Our business is in an emerging market that is characterized by rapid changes in customer requirements, frequent introductions of new and enhanced products and services, and continuing and rapid technological advancement. To compete successfully in development for the explosive detection market, we must continue to design, develop and sell new and enhanced products and services that provide increasingly higher levels of performance and reliability at lower cost. These new and enhanced products and services must take advantage of technological advancements and changes, and respond to new customer requirements. Our success in designing, developing, and selling such products and services will depend on a variety of factors, including:

 
Identifying and responding to market demand for new products and services;

 
Keeping abreast of technological changes;

 
Timely developing and implementing new product/service offerings and features;

  
Maintaining quality of performance;

 
Providing cost-effective service and support; and

 
Promoting our products and services and expanding our market share.
 
 
7

 
 
If we are unable, due to resource constraints or technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new or enhanced products and services in a timely manner, if such new or enhanced products and services do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, or if such new product and service introductions decrease demand for existing products/services, our operating results would decline and our business would not grow.

If a third party asserts that we infringe upon its proprietary rights, we could be required to redesign our product, pay significant royalties, or enter into license agreements.

Although presently we are not aware of any such claims, a third party may assert that our explosive detection devices violate its intellectual property rights. As the number of explosive detection device companies increases, we believe that infringement claims will become more common. Any claims against us, regardless of their merit, could:

 
Be expensive and time-consuming to defend;
 
 
Result in negative publicity;
 
 
Force us to stop operating our platform;
 
 
Divert management’s attention and our other resources; or
 
 
Require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to obtain the right to market our products, which right may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

In addition, we believe that any successful challenge to our use of a trademark or domain name could substantially diminish our ability to conduct business in a particular market or jurisdiction and thus could decrease our revenues and/or result in losses to our business.

Our explosive detection devices will employ proprietary technology, which will be difficult to protect.

Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. We intend to rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, together with non-disclosure agreements and technological measures to establish and protect proprietary rights in our explosive detection devices. We cannot assure investors that these efforts will provide meaningful protection for our technology because:

 
some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States;
 
 
if a competitor were to infringe on our proprietary rights, enforcing our rights may be time consuming and costly, diverting management’s attention and our resources;
 
 
measures like entering into non-disclosure and non-competition agreements afford only limited protection;
 
 
unauthorized and/or unidentifiable parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products and develop similar products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary; and
 
 
our competitors may be able to design around our intellectual property rights or independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products.
 
Regulatory Risks

We face risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules and regulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, require changes in the corporate governance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies. These new laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financial reporting, have materially increased the legal and financial compliance costs of small companies and have made some activities more time-consuming and more burdensome.

We may not have effective internal controls.

In connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we need to assess the adequacy of our internal control, remedy any weaknesses that may be identified, validate that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal controls. We may discover deficiencies that require us to improve our procedures, processes and systems in order to ensure that our internal controls are adequate and effective and that we are in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the deficiencies are not adequately addressed, or if we are unable to complete all of our testing and any remediation in time for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the SEC rules under it, we would be unable to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are designed and operating effectively, which could adversely affect investor confidence in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Risks Relating to Operating in Israel

We conduct our operations in Israel and therefore our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.
     
Our principal executive offices and our officers and Directors are located in Israel.  Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business.  Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors.  Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade within Israel or between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital.  Since September 2000, terrorist violence in Israel has increased significantly and negotiations between Israel and Palestinian representatives have not achieved a peaceful resolution of the conflict.  The establishment in 2006 of a government in Gaza by representatives of the Hamas militant group has created additional unrest and uncertainty in the region.

Further, Israel is currently engaged in an armed conflict with Hamas, which until Operation Cast Lead in January 2009 had involved thousands of missile strikes and had disrupted most day-to-day civilian activity in southern Israel.  The missile attacks by Hamas did not target Tel Aviv, the location of our principal executive offices; however, any armed conflict, terrorist activity or political instability in the region may negatively affect business conditions and could significantly harm our results of operations.

Market Information

Our shares of common stock were initially approved for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol “MNAI” on September 14, 2004. On February 6, 2006, as a result of a seven-for-one forward stock split, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. changed our trading symbol to “MDIN”. However, no market for our common stock developed until March 23, 2006. On May 4, 2006, we changed our name to ACRO Inc. We effected this change of name by merging our company with a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company that we had formed specifically for this purpose. As a result, our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the new symbol “ACRI”.

In January 2012, we instituted a ten to one (10:1) reverse stock split pursuant to which the 193,487,806 shares then outstanding became 19,349,000 shares.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, applicable contractual restrictions and any other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations.

Going Concern

The continuation of our business is dependent upon our raising additional financial support and/or on our ability to purchase new technologies. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial or other loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

We have historically incurred losses, and from inception through December 31, 2013, we have incurred losses of $5,463,767. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations.

There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern. The audited financial statements attached to this annual report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies

Share Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with (ASC) 718-10 and related interpretations, which requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized based on their fair values. The Company recorded the stock based compensation granted to a consultant on the date the consultant earned the awarded shares in the same manner as if the Company paid cash to the consultant for his services.

The Company accounts for convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20 which requires the Company to recognize separately, at issuance, the embedded beneficial conversion feature in additional paid-in capital. The recognition is done by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature in additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the effective conversion price of the convertible debt and the fair value of the shares at issuance date.

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360-10 under which recoverability of assets are tested whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR ACRO, INC.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012

Research and Development

In 2013 and 2012, we had no research and development costs of earnings.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased from $131,525 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $232,175 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $100,650.

Financial Income (Expenses)

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had interest expenses net of $5,943, and for the year ended December 31, 2013, we had interest expenses net of $4,276, a decrease of $1,667.

Benefit conversion feature

In 2013 we had expenses for benefit conversion feature in the amount of $786,053. On December 2013 due to a change in major shareholders loan conversion rights a value of the cost of benefit component was charged to capital and offset against reduction expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have been dependent on investment capital as our primary sources of liquidity. We had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2013 of $5,463,767, and at December 31, 2012 of $4,441,263.

Investing and operating activities have historically been funded through our financing activities, which provided $0 in 2013 and $0 in 2012.

On December 31, 2013, ACRO has $277,932 of long term debt (above 90 days).  On December 31, 2012 ACRO had $169,609 of long term debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None

Cash Requirements

Our cash requirement for the next 12 months is approximately $200,000. We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements at our current minimal activity phase, for fiscal year 2014 to be as follows:
 
Estimated Expenses to December 31, 2014
     
       
Development, Sales and Marketing
 
$
50,000
 
General and Administrative
 
$
150,000
 
         
Total
 
$
200,000
 

We are now operating under minimal activity note, until we successfully raise additional funds or receive a significant order to our products, according to this low volume of activity, we anticipate that we will require additional funds of up to approximately $200,000 to keep activating our business for the next twelve-month period (considering the assumption that in such minimal activity volume, directors will continue to defer their fees). In such event that we do not generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient additional funds by a public offering or a private placement, we will consider alternative financing options, if any, or be forced to cease our operations.

Purchase or Sale of Equipment

During the next 12 months, we do not plan to purchase software, furniture and office equipment.

Products Developed

Our first product is called the Peroxide Explosives Tester (ACRO-P.E.T). ACRO-P.E.T is a small, disposable, pen-like probe which detects the presence of peroxide-based explosives using three chemical solutions and relies on direct contact with the suspicious substance. ACRO-P.E.T has been designed for rapid, on-site detection of peroxide-based explosives. Its main advantages are high sensitivity, high selectivity, fast response, simple operation, high mobility, small size and cost effectiveness. In November 2006, we completed the first production of the ACRO-P.E.T for evaluation by potential customers. In 2008 developed a new version of ACRO-P.E.T. which enables easier verification of peroxide-based explosives, such as triacetone triperoxide (TATP). In addition, in the new version we improved the sampling device to enable easy and immediate sampling of suspicious liquids, in addition to all other forms of explosives, such as powder. The new version has been available for sale since mid 2008.

In addition, we have developed another device called ACRO-N.E.T., which detects the presence of commercial and military explosives. ACRO-N.E.T. incorporates into our pen-like device the explosive testing kit of the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), licensed to us under an agreement dated October 28, 2008 with a subsidiary of IIBR called Life Science Research Israel Ltd. (LSRI). ACRO-N.E.T is based on the LSRI explosive detecting kit, called ETK. The ETK is capable of identifying the full range of well known types of military and commercially available explosives, and also of homemade explosives based on nitrate and chlorate salts. This device, ACRO-N.E.T., complements ACRO-P.E.T. by providing the possibility to detect explosives other than TATP. Its operation system and advantages are the same as the ACRO-P.E.T (it is the same device) but it is using different solutions and detects different explosives

To date, the efficiency approval of ACRO-P.E.T is derived from laboratory research and limited sales. We had performed an independent research at the Technion institute laboratory, which indicated that the ACRO-P.E.T shows accurate and fast results in detecting TATP explosives. ACRO-N.E.T which is based on the ETK – kit, has a large field experience and evidences for its efficiency. Nevertheless, we cannot assure that ACRO-P.E.T and ACRO-N.E.T will gain commercial acceptance in the marketplace.

The ACRO-SET is a sensitive, rapid and reliable kit for field detection and identification of trace explosives. Weighing about one-quarter of a pound, this kit contains the ACRO-PET, which detects improvised explosives such as TATP, and the ACRO-NET, which detects the entire range of the nitro explosives including all conventional explosives, the improvised ammonium nitrate, ANFO, and urea nitrate. Conveniently packed in a belt pouch, the Acro-SET is, in effect, a portable, inexpensive micro-laboratory for identification of all explosives by any law enforcement personnel.

During 2008, we developed a product called “TATP Simulant”. The TATP Simulant is a hands-on tool of practicing detection and identification of peroxide based explosives such as TATP and HMTD. We delivered samples of TATP Simulant to several clients, but at this stage we cannot estimate the commercial value of this product, if any.

During 2009, we developed the ACRO-CH.E.T. (Chlorates Explosives Tester) which detects chlorate based explosives traces and the ACRO-U.E.T (Urea nitrate Explosives Tester) which detects urea nitrate traces. Both products have low false positive and negative alarm rates.

During the first quarter of 2010, we completed the development of Acro-ANET, a specific tester and a trace-detector of ammonium nitrate. The white crystals of ammonium nitrate are commonly used in agriculture as high-nitrogen fertilizer, and are the main component of ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO), an increasingly popular component of improvised explosive devices

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
ACRO Inc. (A Development Stage Company(:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ACRO Inc. (A Development Stage Company the “Company”) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a “going concern”. As discussed in Note 1b  to the financial statements, the company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern”. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1b. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

US Dollars

NOTE 1:-   GENERAL

a.           General

ACRO Inc. (A Development Stage Company) was incorporated on May 22, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Medina International Corp. On May 4, 2006, the Company changed its name to ACRO Inc. ACRO Inc. was originally an oil and gas consulting company in Canada and in the United States. However, during 2006, following a change of control and a private placement financing, ACRO Inc. ceased to engage in oil and gas consulting and engaged in development of products for the detection of military and commercial explosives for the homeland security market.

Hereinafter, ACRO Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary in Israel Acrosec Ltd. (“Acrosec”), will be referred to as "the Company."

The Company common stock was listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or "OTC Bulletin Board" from April 2003. It now trades on the OTCQB under the symbol "ACRI."

Since its inception, the Company had no significant revenues and in accordance with ASC 915 codified from Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”, the Company is considered a development stage company.

b.          Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a “going concern”. The company continues to incur losses ($ 1,023 thousands in the year ended December 31, 2013) from operations and has a net capital deficiency of $277 thousands that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern”. Management’s plans with regard to these matters include financing from a major shareholder Top Alpha Capital S.M. Ltd. (“Top Alpha”).  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues from its products or financing on terms acceptable to the Company.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP").
 
a.           Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions management is required to make. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.  It is at least reasonably possible that management’s estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
 
b.          Financial Statements in U.S. dollars

The majority of the Company's financing is received in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the U.S. dollar is the currency of its primary economic environment and thus, its functional and reporting currency. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured into US dollars. All transaction gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
 
c.          Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Acrosec Ltd. (“Acrosec”) All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
d.          Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:

   
%
 
Leasehold improvements
  10  
Computers and production equipment
  15 – 33  
Office furniture
  7  
 
e.          Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As of December 31, 2013, management decided to reduce all long-lived assets.
 
f.          Research and Development costs

Research and Development costs are charged to the statement of operations as incurred.
 
g.          Convertible debt with beneficial conversion feature

The Company accounts for convertible debt with beneficial conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20 which requires the Company to recognize separately, at issuance, the embedded beneficial conversion feature in additional paid-in capital. The recognition is done by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature in additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the effective conversion price of the convertible debt and the fair value of the shares at issuance date.

i.           Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes by the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

j.           Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential common shares considered outstanding during the year.

k.          Implementation of the new accounting standards

The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income". This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05 on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Because this ASU impacts presentation only, it has no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows.

NOTE 4:-   CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

On June 30, 2012 the Company signed a loan agreement in the amount of $ 62,255 (later increased to $71,274), in the form of a convertible promissory note, with Top Alpha. This note shall accrue interest at the rate of 6% per annum, the interest shall be payable semi-annually on December 31 and June 30. The above amount should be paid on or before December 31, 2013.

This note is convertible into up to 4,309,633 shares of the Company's common stock, at a price $0.0165383 per share.

On December 31, 2013 due to an amendment to the agreement, the amount of the loan was updated to $103,339, the due date for the note has been extended to December 31, 2014, and in consideration for this extension, the conversion rate has been amended from one share of Common Stock for each $0.0165383 principal amount of the note and accrued interest, to one share of Common Stock for each $0.001 principal amount of the note and accrued interest.

In respect of the loan, a value of benefit component in the amount of $910,084 was charged to capital reserve ($14,857 in debit as of December 31,2012).

NOTE 5:-   COMMITMENTS

a.          On October 28, 2007, the Company’s technology agreement with LSRI – Life Science Research Israel Ltd., a subsidiary of IIBR – Israel Institute for Biological Research, became effective. Under the terms of the agreement, LSRI will license the technology of IIBR’s explosives testing kit (ETK) to the Company, for incorporation into the Company’s pen-like device, allowing the detection of commercial and military explosives. The agreement is subject to minimum annual revenues to be achieved by the Company from the device and royalties to be paid to LSRI. The new device complements the ACRO-P.E.T., the Company’s peroxide explosive tester for the detection of improvised explosives.
 
b.          The Company received notice that the US Internal Revenue Service imposed on the Company automated late filing penalties for delay in filing a certain information schedule. The Company has filed an appeal for full abatement of the penalties according to procedures of the IRS. Based on common practice and the nature of reasoning for the delay. Company management believes there is a good reason to believe that the abatement would be approved. Accordingly, no provision was recorded on the Company books of account.
 
NOTE 6:-   SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY
 
On January, 2012, the Company executed a one-for-ten reverse split of all common shares. Following the reverse split, the number of outstanding common shares decreased from 193,487,806 to 19,349,000 and the par value per common share increased from $ 0.001 to $ 0.01.

NOTE 7:-   INCOME TAXES

a.          Tax rates

Income taxes included in the consolidated statements of operations represent current taxes as a result of taxable income of the Israeli subsidiary, which was formed in March 2006, in accordance with local tax laws.

Corporate tax structure:
Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to tax at the rate of 25% in 2012 and 2013 and 26.5% for 2014.

In the USA, Acro Inc. is subject to a 15%-35% corporate tax rate.

Gain (Loss) from continuing operations, before income taxes, consists of the following:
 
   
Year ended December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
United States
    (1,018,407 )     (128,494 )
Israel
    (4,097 )     (8,974 )
      (1,022,504 )     (137,468 )
 
The company did not recognize expenses for a benefit Conversion feature of $786,053
 
b.          Deferred Tax
 
   
December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
Deferred tax assets:
           
Net operating loss carry forwards
    1,070,011       1,546,449  
Valuation allowance
    (1,070,011 )     (1,546,449 )
Net deferred tax assets
    -       -  

The U.S. deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was a decrease of $476,438 and an increase of $128,494 respectively. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are reducible. Management considers projected taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax assets governed by the tax code. Based on the level of historical taxable losses, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
 
As of December 31, 2013, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $3.1 million, after the consideration of approximately $201,400 of net operating loss carry forwards that are expected to expire unused due to an ownership change as defined under the Internal revenue Code section 382 that occurred in early 2006. These federal net operating loss carry forwards will expire if not utilized on various dates through 2027.

Item 9.     Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

  None.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

(a)            Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013. Based on such review, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that we have in place effective controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)            Our management, under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed 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. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

 
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and asset dispositions;

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

 
provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, and use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, 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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the framework for Internal Control-Integrated Framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2013.

This management report on internal control over financial reporting shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only a management’s report in this Annual report.
 
(c)            There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified with the evaluation thereof that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Promoters and control persons.

None.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.

To the best of our knowledge, all executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders filed the required reports in a timely manner.

Code of Ethics

Effective March 23, 2005, our Company’s board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Compliance Program that applies to all of our Company’s officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Compliance Program was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed on March 30, 2005. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Compliance Program to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: ACRO Inc.  5 Kineret Street, Bnei Brak, Israel.

Corporate Governance

Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees

Our board of directors is of the view that it is appropriate for us to have neither a standing compensation nor nominating committee because there are currently only two directors on our board of directors, one of whom, Mr. Baruch Mitzengender, is an “independent director” under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Furthermore, we are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., under the symbol “ACRI” and the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees. These directors have performed the functions of nominating and compensation committees and will continue to do so. There are no policies or procedures for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our board of directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time. Given the early stage of our development as a company, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level. The process of identifying and evaluating nominees for director is conducted by our board of directors.

Based on the information gathered, our board of directors then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. We do not pay fees to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.

Board Leadership Structure

The Company has chosen to combine the principal executive officer and Board chairman positions. The Company believes that this Board leadership structure is the most appropriate for the Company for the following reasons. First, the Company is a development stage company and at this early stage it is more efficient to have the leadership of the Board in the same hands as the principal executive officer of the Company. The challenges faced by the Company at this stage – primarily obtaining financing – are most efficiently dealt with by having one person intimately familiar with both the operational aspects as well as the strategic aspects of the Company’s business. Second, Mr. Porat is uniquely suited to fulfill both positions of responsibility because he possesses management experience, venture capital experience, and experience with start-up companies.

Potential Conflict of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent Directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our Directors have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, in essence their own, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or Directors.
 
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
 
The Board assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the Company. These risks include financial, technological, competitive, and operational risks. The Board dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced by the Company at that time. In addition, since the Company does not have an Audit Committee, the Board is also responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposures.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our common stock known by us to be owned beneficially as of March 20, 2014, by: (i) each person (including any group) that owns more than 5% of any class of the voting securities of our company; (ii) each director and officer of our company; and (iii) directors and officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholders listed possess sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

In the following table, we have determined the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act based on information provided to us by our controlling shareholder, executive officers and directors, and this information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In determining the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we include any shares as to which the person has sole or shared voting power or investment power, as well as any shares subject to warrants or options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after March 20, 2014.

In February 2008, our board of directors approved an adoption of an Israeli share option plan, according to the capital gains tax track through a trustee. It was decided to reserve a pool of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock of the Company, for allocation to employees, directors and consultants under the plan.  All outstanding options were cancelled in July 2011.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Transactions with Related Persons

Except as disclosed below, since the beginning of the fiscal year preceding the last fiscal year none of the following persons has had any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which our Company was or is a party, or in any proposed transaction to which our Company proposes to be a party:

 
·
any Director or officer of our Company;

 
·
any proposed Director of officer of our Company;

 
·
any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5 percent of the voting rights attached to our common stock; or

 
·
any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons (including a spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws).

On March 6, 2014, we entered into an amendment to the June 30, 2012 Convertible Promissory Note issued to Top Alpha Capital (“TAC”), an Israeli company and ACRO’s controlling shareholder (the "2012 Note").  Pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Note, the loan provided by TAC to ACRO was due and payable on December 31, 2013.  In accordance with the amendment, the due date for the note has been extended to December 31, 2014, and in consideration for this extension, the conversion rate has been amended from one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.0165383 principal amount of the note and accrued interest, to one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.001 principal amount of the note and accrued interest.

On February 26, 2014, we entered into a new employment agreement with Asaf Porat, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer.  Pursuant to this new employment agreement, Mr. Porat shall continue to serve as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company at an annual salary of $90,000.  The new employment agreement is effective as of February 1, 2014, and shall be in effect for a term of two years. The remaining terms of Mr. Porat's new employment agreement are substantially the same as the terms of Mr. Porat's prior employment agreement with ACRO.

Director Independence

We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent Directors.”  Mr. Porat does not currently meet the definition of “independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

Tax Fees

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 Barziliy & Co. billed approximately $1,500 and $1,500 for the Israeli subsidiary’s tax reports reviewing and filing services.

All Other Fees

We do not use Barzily & Co. for financial information system design and implementation. These services, which include: designing and implementing a system that aggregates source data underlying the financial statements and generates information that is significant to our financial statements, are provided internally. We do not engage Barzily & Co. to provide compliance outsourcing services. Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before Barzily & Co. is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be: approved by our audit committee; or entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee’s responsibilities to management. The audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The audit committee has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Barzily & Co. and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Barzily & Co. independence.
