ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
COMPANY OVERVIEW

Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company engages in product development, production, marketing and distribution of CHIQUITA TROPICALS™. CHIQUITA TROPICALS are 100% fruit juices produced under license agreement from Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“Chiquita”).  

CHIQUITA TROPICALS contain zero added sugar and no preservatives.  They are naturally low sodium, vegan, naturally gluten free, non-genetically modified and kosher. We believe such attributes are what consumers want today in a beverage. CHIQUITA TROPICALSrequire no refrigeration before opening and, as a result of the way the juice is bottled, have a longer shelf life than most other bottled juices.

We believe in safe and sustainable corporate practices. We are proud to use Rainforest Alliance Certified fruits, which help the farmers and their families while being environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.

CURRENT OPERATIONS

Sales

CHIQUITA TROPICALS100% fruit juices first became commercially available in the New York tri-state area in late July 2013 and on Amazon.com in August 2013.   The Company currently produces four flavors: Banana Strawberry, Mango, Passion Fruit and Pineapple.

Production and Distribution

The Company sources its ingredients and packaging from multiple sources on a contract basis.  The providers of the fruits used in our juices grow on a non-genetically modified basis.  Our juices are produced without preservatives and without added sugar.  MOJO believes that these fruit sources are of high quality and are an important part of the overall taste and quality of its juice products.  The Company believes that adequate alternate suppliers exist in the event that one or more sources are unable or unwilling to provide MOJO with the fruit and ingredients needed to meet production demand.

MOJO currently produces and packages the CHIQUITA TROPICALSproducts through production facilities and services on a contract basis.  The Company believes that its current production and packaging arrangements are adequate for current and near-term anticipated demand for its products.  An important part of the Company’s overall strategy, however, will be the expansion of production capabilities and resources.

MOJO has entered into distribution agreements with several distributors and regularly seeks to broaden its distribution channels.  The Company has engaged third party sales and marketing brokers in many areas of the country. This has resulted in the placement of CHIQUITA TROPICALSin hundreds of retail outlets. The Company also intends to sell directly to retailers, including large chain stores.

Intellectual Property

On August 15, 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement with Chiquita (the “License Agreement”) for the use of Chiquita’s marks in the manufacture, sale, promotion, marketing, advertising and distribution of certain fruit juice products in select containers.  The License Agreement grants the Company an exclusive license in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York and a non-exclusive license for all of the states in the United States not included in the exclusive license, plus Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.  

The term of the License Agreement is for seven years from July 2013, (the date we first invoiced customers for products sold under the License Agreement), subject to the Company meeting certain minimum sales volume and/or minimum royalty payments.  Termination of the License Agreement could have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business.
 
 
Competition

The juice beverage market is highly competitive.  Competitors in our market compete for brand recognition, ingredient sourcing, qualified personnel and product shelf space.  As a developing company, a majority of our competitors are more established and better capitalized than us.  The juice beverage market is generally dominated by the largest beverage providers, including The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, Inc.  Many of our competitors enjoy significant brand recognition and consumer confidence and are able to readily secure shelf space and media attention for their products.  Many of our competitors also have existing relationships with the same distribution channels and retailers through which we sell our products.   We intend to compete in the market by offering consumers affordable products that taste better and possess a longer shelf life than most products in the market.

Government Regulation

Juice products are governed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  As such, it is necessary for the Company to establish, maintain and make available for inspection records as well as to develop labels (including nutrition information) that meet legal food labeling requirements.  The Company’s contracted production facilities are subject to many regulations, including Food Facility Registration, recordkeeping, Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements, reporting, preventive controls and inspections.

Employees

As of April 14, 2014, the Company had two full-time employees.  The Company mitigates the need for a production staff by using a third-party facility to produce its juice.  The Company has contracted with food brokers to represent our CHIQUITA TROPICALSto retail stores nationally.  In certain regions of the United States, we utilize the services of direct sales and distribution companies that sell our products in their distribution channels.  This mitigates the need for a large sales and merchandising force.  The Company also outsources it logistics to third-parties, which eliminates the need for employees to perform these roles.
 
CORPORATE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007 under the name MOJO Shopping, Inc. for the purpose of developing an online retail business focused on marketing merchandise to young professionals. On April 28, 2011, the Company changed its name to MOJO Ventures, Inc.  On May 13, 2011, the Company closed a merger with Specialty Beverage and Supplement, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation (“Specialty Beverage”), pursuant to which Specialty Beverage merged with and into SBSI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“SBSI”). Specialty Beverage, incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2008, was engaged in the development of beverage products and vitamin supplements, such as energy drinks, sports drinks, wellness beverages, ready-to-drink iced teas and vitamin enhanced children’s drinks.

The Company entered into a split-off agreement dated October 27, 2011 (“Split-Off”) with a newly organized, wholly owned subsidiary MOJO Organics Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation then-known as MOJO Organics, Inc., SBSI and certain stockholders of the Company (“Buyers”).  In the Split-Off, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SBSI were assigned and transferred to the Buyers in exchange for the Buyers surrender to the Company of an aggregate of 2,330,775 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), for cancellation.  Such shares represented approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock prior to the Split-Off.  In the Split-Off, SBSI assigned to the Company SBSI’s Dispensing Cap and Pinch assets (including all related intellectual property) and retained all of its other assets and all liabilities, including its (and the Company’s former) principal office and distribution facilities in Holbrook, New York, as well as the Company’s other former subsidiary, Graphic Gorilla LLC. MOJO’s management has determined that the Dispensing Cap technology and brand name Pinch do not have viable commercial value and, as a result, the Company has no current plans to market or use these assets.

On December 28, 2011, we changed our name to MOJO Organics, Inc. to better reflect our focus on the natural and organic beverage markets.

The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on April 1, 2013. The number of authorized shares and the par value of our Common Stock were not changed. All share references in this report have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:
 
 
·
Critical Accounting Policies — Accounting policies that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results and forecasts.
 
 
·
Results of Operations — Analysis of our financial results comparing the year ended December 31, 2013 to 2012. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Analysis of changes in our cash flows, and discussion of our financial condition and potential sources of liquidity.
 
This report includes a number of forward looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  Forward looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.  You should not place undue certainty on these forward looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report.  These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
 
 
All of our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:
 
Use of Estimates — The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Stock-based Compensation — ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.

ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718.
 
Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment and stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing option model to value its stock option awards which incorporate the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free rate, dividend rate, and estimated life.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities. We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management, to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
 
Results of Operations
 
Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Revenues
The Company commenced production of CHIQUITA TROPICALSin June 2013 and began selling its products in late July 2013 in the New York tri-state area.  Revenues from its four exotic juices for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $159,144. The Company had no revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of Revenues includes production costs and raw material costs.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, cost of revenues was $139,741, or 88% of sales.

Operating Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2013, operating expenses were $2,791,761, an increase of $1,193,695 or 75% over operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $1,598,066.  This increase was primarily the result of our launching commercial operations in the year ended December 31, 2013 and consisted primarily of  increases in (a) advisory service fees and consulting fees, which were paid in stock, with the vested portion thereof having a fair market value of $964,162 for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $157,500 during the year ended December 31, 2012,  (b) marketing, promotional, licensing and related fees, which were $381,081 for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to zero during the year ended December 31, 2012 and  (c) salaries and related payroll fees, which were $321,622 during the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $81,839 during the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received cash proceeds of $412,134 from the sale of its Series A Preferred Stock.  In addition, cash proceeds of $448,681 were realized as a result of the Company’s private placement offering in May and June 2013.  The aggregate amount realized from these two offerings was $860,815.  The Company utilized the majority of these funds for the development and production of its first production runs, as well as to promote and market the business.  Additionally, the Company used some of the funds for administrative costs, including legal fees, audit fees and compensation costs.

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received additional cash proceeds of $1,835,000 from the sale of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock in concurrent private placements consummated in March 2014. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about this transaction.
 
Working Capital Needs
 
As a result of the financing in March 2014, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to fund the operations of the Company for the next twelve months.  Our business prospects are difficult to predict, however, due to our limited operating history.  Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our consolidated financial statements relating to the uncertainty of our business as a going concern, due to our limited operating history and our lack of historical profitability.

 Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls 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, regardless of how remote.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s senior management, consisting of  the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The management of MOJO Organics, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, 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 this evaluation, our officers concluded that, during the period covered by this annual report, our internal controls over financial reporting were operating effectively.
 
As previously reported, the Company does not have an audit committee and is not currently obligated to have one. Although it remains management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, management does not believe that the lack of an audit committee could result in a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements in the near future. Accordingly, management has concluded that this deficiency alone does not constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and has considered the foregoing in its determination that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Attestation Report

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as such report is not required for non-accelerated filers.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Board Committees
 
The Company has not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations. Our three directors perform all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

Shareholder Communications
 
Currently, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations.
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a written code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. We believe that the Code of Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. To request a copy of the Code of Ethics, please make written request to our Company at 101 Hudson Street, 21st Floor, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Other than as disclosed below and in this Form 10-K, there have been no transactions, since January 1, 2012, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any of their respective immediate family members, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest.

In 2012, certain officers and directors of the Company advanced funds to the Company for payment of operating expenses.  On May 1, 2012, the Company issued a Note Payable to Mr. Simpson for $15,000 in connection with an advance. The note bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, with a maturity date of September 15, 2013.

Director Independence
 
We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to (and we do not) have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”
 
Our Board of Directors has considered the independence of its directors in reference to the definition of “independent director” established by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In doing so, the Board of Directors has reviewed all commercial and other relationships of each director in making its determination as to the independence of its directors. After such review, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Devlin and Mr. Spinner qualify as independent under the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards.

PART IV - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
 
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
MOJO Organics, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MOJO Organics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). 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 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 financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 3, the Company has incurred substantial accumulated deficits and operating losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Overview
MOJO Organics, Inc. (“MOJO” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007.  Headquartered in Jersey City, NJ, the Company engages in the product development, production, marketing and distribution of CHIQUITA TROPICALS.  CHIQUITA TROPICALSare 100% Fruit Juices, produced under license agreement from Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“Chiquita”).  The Company currently produces four exotic flavors: Banana Strawberry, Mango, Passion Fruit and Pineapple.
 
CHIQUITA TROPICALSfirst became commercially available in the New York tri-state area in late July 2013, and is currently sold in hundreds of retail outlets and on Amazon.com.
 
Basis of Presentation
In 2012, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and MOJO Organics Operating Company, Inc., its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary (“MOJO Operating”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

In 2013, the Company determined that the assets assigned to MOJO Operating, including the Dispensing Cap technology and Pinch sweetener, had no economic value.  Further, MOJO Operating has been dormant subsequent to the 2011 split off transaction, through which MOJO sold a portion of its business to certain of its shareholders and was deemed to be a voided entity for regulatory purposes.  MOJO Operating will no longer be considered an entity under the Company’s control for consolidation purposes.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include investment instruments, CD’s and time deposits purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, inventories consisted entirely of raw materials.
 
Supplier Deposits
Supplier Deposits consist of prepaid inventory for which the Company has not yet taken delivery.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets.  Computer equipment is depreciated over a period of 3 -5 years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, accumulated depreciation related to property and equipment was $1,553 and $544, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues from sales of products are recognized at the time of delivery when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.  Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds.

Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”.  ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. The conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and options was excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The loss for the period would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss per common share.
 
 
Start-Up Costs
In accordance with ASC topic 720-15, “Start-Up Costs,” the Company charges all costs associated with its start-up operations to income as incurred.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

ASC 740 also requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Tax returns for the years from 2009 to 2013 are subject to examination by tax authorities.

Stock-Based Compensation
ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.

ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt obligations approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and/or variable interest rates. The Company’s debt obligations bear interest at rates which approximate prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying values for these instruments approximate fair value.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Topic 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:

 
·
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical,, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 
·

The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $2,775,965.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $75,240 and accumulated losses of $13,121,722, which includes accumulated losses from discontinued operations of $8,576,094. 
 
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully obtain and retain customers in order to achieve profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes under the assets and liability method.  Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are  reduced by a  valuation  allowance  when,  in the opinion  of  management,  it is more  likely  than not  that  some portion or all of the deferred  tax assets will not be realized.

The reconciliation of income taxes at the statutory rate of 34% to the provision for income taxes recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:
 
   
Year ended December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
Tax benefit at federal statutory rate
    34.0 %     34.0 %
State tax expense, net of federal benefit
    5.6       5.6  
Change in valuation allowance
    (39.6 )     (39.6 )
Effective tax rate
    -       -  

The reported provision for income tax differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory income tax rates to the loss before income tax as follows:

   
Year ended December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
Income tax expense at statutory rate

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components:

Valuation allowance
    (1,734,335 )     (635,053 )
Net deferred tax asset
  $ -     $ -  

An income tax benefit has not been recognized for operating losses generated in prior periods based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had available net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $3,986,000 which expire in various years through the year ending December 31, 2033.  Utilization of the tax loss carry-forwards are not assured, however, because the Company has incurred significant operating losses.  As a result, the deferred income tax asset arising from these net operating loss carry-forwards and from other temporary differences are not recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s realization of this benefit, a valuation allowance was established to fully reserve such assets.
 
 
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitment

 Stock Splits
On April 1, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”). The number of authorized shares and the par value of the Common Stock were not changed.  The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

On May 1, 2013, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to 1,250,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $0.40 per share pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with each investor.  As of June 18, 2013, the last date of the offering, 1,171,705 shares of Common Stock were sold, raising an aggregate of $468,681, which amount included $20,000 of notes outstanding.

Stock Incentive Plans
In March 2013, the Company approved the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which provides the Company with the ability to issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and/or other stock based awards for up to an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of Common Stock.

Restricted Stock Compensation
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company issued shares of restricted Common Stock to certain of its directors, executive officers and employees.  Unvested restricted shares are subject to forfeiture.  With the exception of 1,165,251 shares which vest based upon achieving certain milestones, the Company records compensation expense over the vesting period based upon the fair market value on the date of grant for each share, adjusted for forfeitures.   

A summary of the restricted stock issuances to directors, executive officers and employees is as follows:

In connection with the issuance of restricted stock, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $883,139 and $1,112,981 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013, there was $4,961,202 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based compensation.  That cost is expected to be recognized during the years 2014 through 2016.

Advisory Services
On November 28, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with an advisor to provide strategic business advisory services and assist the Company with networking and capital formation. As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to the issuance of 500,000 shares of Common Stock, 50% of which was issuable upon execution of the agreement and 50% of which was issuable upon the six month anniversary of the execution of the advisor agreement.  Accordingly, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Common Stock. The value of the stock issued was recorded in 2012, resulting in an expense of $157,500.  This advisory services agreement has since been terminated and the remaining 250,000 shares have not been, and will not be, issued. 
 
 On October 3, 2013, the Company entered into an advisor agreement whereby the Company would receive strategic business advisory services, distributorship advisory services, sales and sales channel advisory services and investor relation advisory services in exchange for the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted Common Stock.  The Common Stock vests six months from the date of the agreement.  In connection with this issuance, the Company recorded $75,000 in consulting fees during the year ended December 31, 2013, and will record an additional $75,000 in fees in 2014.

Also on October 3, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement for strategic business advisory services, public relations services and investor relations services.  In connection with this agreement, the Company issued 167,204 shares of restricted Common Stock and recorded consulting fees of $501,612 during 2013.  The stock is fully vested. The advisor was also issued an additional 200,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, which will vest quarterly based upon the Company reaching certain market capitalization and revenue goals.  Should the Company not reach these goals, the additional shares will be forfeited.  The goals were met for the first two quarters.  As a result, 100,000 of the additional 200,000 shares vested in 2013, and the Company recorded $280,000 in consulting fees in connection with this vesting.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 35,000 shares of Common Stock to two firms who provided legal services to the Company in lieu of cash.  Also during 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant whereby the Company would issue stock for services in lieu of cash.  The number of shares issued is calculated monthly and based upon the last sales price of the Common Stock for the month.  The number of shares issued for the year ended December 31, 2013 was 11,263.

 NOTE 7 – STOCK OPTIONS

Stock Incentive Plans
In July 2013, the Company granted certain directors and employees of the Company stock options pursuant to the 2012 Plan to purchase 210,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.07 per share, which was 115% of the last sale price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

NOTE 8 – SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On January 12, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement for the offer and sale of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (“Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $4.00 per share.  In connection with the private sale of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company raised gross proceeds of $790,834, including $378,700 from the conversion of promissory notes.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing $4.00 by the conversion price of $0.40.

The Series A Preferred Stock includes embedded anti-dilutive provisions that meet the defined criteria of a derivative liability as described in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and therefore require bifurcation.  These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features indexed to the Company's Common Stock. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related items at their fair values as of the date of issue and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.   Changes in the fair value are charged to income at the end of each reporting period.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, a total of 197,708.5 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into 1,977,085 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were zero shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2012, various expenses of the Company, including advances for operating purposes, were paid for or made by officers and shareholders of the Company. As of December 31, 2012, amounts due to related parties totaled $187,500 in notes payable. In January 2013, the Company received an additional advance of $50,000.  The notes bore interest at rates varying between 8% and 10% and were due on September 15, 2013.  

The notes contained a conversion feature which allowed the holders, at their sole discretion, to convert some or all of the principal amount of their note outstanding into equity or debt securities issued by the Company in connection with any offering made by the Company during the period that the principal amount of the note was outstanding.  The conversion terms would be identical to the offering terms.  On January 31, 2013, the balance of notes outstanding of $237,500 was converted into 59,375 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  Accrued interest of $7,261 was paid to the holders of the notes.  Interest expense of $1,658 and $5,603 was charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 42,714 shares of Common Stock to employees in lieu of cash, equivalent to $100,692.  In addition, accrued salary amounting to $141,200 and $20,000 was converted into 35,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 50,000 shares of Common Stock as part of the Private Placement, respectively.

In December 2013, the Company received $24,000 in non-interest bearing, demand loans from certain related parties.  The loans were repaid in full by February 2014.
 
 
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. 

In March 2014, the Company consummated two concurrent private placement offerings, receiving an aggregate of $1,835,000 from accredited investors.  In one of the offerings, the Company sold an aggregate of 917,583 shares of Common Stock for $0.91 per share for a total of $835,000.  For each share purchased in this offering, investors received an immediately exercisable, five-year warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $0.91 per share.  In the concurrent offering, the Company sold 1,098,901 shares of Common Stock for $0.91 per share for a total of $1,000,000.  The investor in the concurrent offering did not acquire warrants.

The Company issued an aggregate of 465,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2012 Plan to its employees and directors in March 2014.  The shares are subject to a restricted stock agreement, pursuant to which the shares will vest one year from the date of such agreement if the grantee is an employee or director (as applicable) of the Company at the time.  As part of the compensation package for a newly appointed director, the Company issued to an affiliate of such director warrants to purchase 183,454 shares of Common Stock, exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at a price of $0.91 per share.

The Company issued 23,272 shares of Common Stock to its chief executive officer as payment of salary due for January and February 2014 in lieu of cash.  The shares were valued by the Company at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the last trading day of the applicable month for which payment was due.

Also in March 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 13,740 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.91 per share as well as 82,418 shares of Common Stock for advisory services.  The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.

Finally in March 2014, the Company entered into two agreements pursuant to which the Company will receive advisory services related to strategy, distributorship, sales and sales channels and investor relations.  The Company granted to each advisor 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, subject to forfeiture if the advisor terminates or materially breaches the agreement before the six-month anniversary thereof.  The aggregate value of the advisory fees of $260,000 was calculated based upon the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the agreement.  This amount will be charged to income ratably over the six month vesting period.
