Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Organization

 

Kiwibox.Com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Kiwibox.com, Inc.

 

On August 16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media, Inc.

 

The Company, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. were separate legal entities until December 31, 2009, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. On December 31, 2009, the two subsidiaries, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged into the Company.

 

On September 30, 2011, Kiwibox.com acquired the German based social network Kwick! Community GmbH & Co. KG (“Kwick”), a wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

On September 24, 2013, Kwick Community GmbH & Co. KG signed an equity purchase agreement to acquire Interscholz Internet Services GmbH and Co KG, a German limited liability company, and all the equity of its general partner, Interscholz Beteiligungs GmbH. As of the balance sheet date, and pursuant to the terms of the contract, since full payment was not made for the purchase price of Interscholz Internet Services GmbH & Co KG, ownership does not transfer to Kwick Community GmbH & Co KG. Full payment must be made for ownership to transfer to Kwick. As of December 31, 2013 only $515,037 of the total purchase price of $1,352,000 was made. On December 9, 2013 the acquisition of Interscholz Internet Services GmbH and Co KG by Kwick was rescinded due to non compliance with the terms of the addendum to the contract, calling for the full purchase price to have been paid. However, Kwick did acquire all the equity of the general partner, Interscholz Beteiligungs GmbH, as full payment was not a requirement for transfer of ownership of that entity.

 

On December 10, 2013, the Company signed an Equity Purchase Agreement with Marcus Winkler to sell to him eighty (80%) percent of the equity of its German subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG, a German limited liability company, and Kwick! Beteiligungs GmbH, its general partner (collectively, “Kwick”). The sale was approved on December 18, 2013. Due to the fact that the parent company ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Kwick, the subsidiary was deconsolidated from that date forward.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company accounts for cash and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents

 

 

 

Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

operations as incurred. Software costs are amortized using the straight line method and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization begins when the related software is ready for its intended use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software, Subsequent Measurement.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 include the accounts of Kiwibox.com, Inc. and the activities of its former subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG (“Kwick”). Any significant inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 3-10 years, or lease term for leasehold improvements, if for a shorter period. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Software costs are amortized using the straight line method and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization begins when the related software is ready for its intended use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software, Subsequent Measurement.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Income and expense items of the Company’s former foreign subsidiary operations were translated at the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Gains and losses, if any, resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations during that period.

 

 Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $1,466 and $ 2,083 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $946 and $54,621 for the same periods in 2013, respectively.

 

Evaluation of Long Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.

 

Any impairment of the Company’s internally-developed software is recognized and measured in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software, Subsequent Measurement, which requires that assets be grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The guidance is applicable, for example, when one of the following events or changes in circumstances occurs related to computer software being developed or currently in use indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

 

 

Kiwibox.Com, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Securities Issued for Services

 

The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the fair value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used. The Company has determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

 

Reclassification of certain securities under ASC 815-15

 

Pursuant to ASC 815-15, “Contracts in Entity’s own Equity”, if a company has more than one contract subject to this Issue, and partial reclassification is required, there may be different methods that could be used to determine which contracts, or portions of contracts, should be reclassified. The Company's method for reclassification of such contracts is reclassification of contracts with the latest maturity date first.

 

 

Capitalization of Software /Website development costs

 

The Company capitalizes outside-contracted development work in accordance with the guidelines published under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”. Under ASC 350-50, costs incurred during the planning stage are expensed, while costs relating to software used to operate a web site or for developing initial graphics should be accounted for under ASC 350-50, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, unless a plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally. Under ASC 350-50, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage should be capitalized. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems should also be capitalized, excluding training costs.

 

Fees incurred for web site hosting, which involve the payment of a specified, periodic fee to an Internet service provider in return for hosting the web site on its server(s) connected to the Internet, are expensed over the period of benefit, and included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset. .

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Such common stock equivalents totaled 102,503,240 common shares at September 30, 2014, comprised of 24,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock purchase warrants, 4,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 729,537 shares

 

 

Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

exercisable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares, and 72,773,703 shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible debt. Such debt and the related accrued interest, convertible at the option of four debt holders at a price of 50% of the average closing price for the preceding 10 days, represent totals which would yield in excess of 5.8 billion shares if fully converted at September 30, 2014. However, the respective notes, all of which were issued to these investors, carry a stipulation whereby the number of all shares issued pursuant to a conversion, may in the aggregate not exceed a number that would increase the total share holdings beneficially owned by such investor to a level above 9.99%. At the end of the period, this clause limits any conversion to the aforementioned number of shares. All of the aforementioned conversions or exercises, as the case may be, are at the option of the holders.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is derived from advertising on the Kiwibox.Com website. Most contracts require the Company to deliver the customer impressions, click-throughs or new customers, or some combination thereof. Accordingly, advertising revenue is estimated and recognized for the period in which customer impressions, click through or new customers are delivered. Licensing or hosting revenue consists of an annual contract with clients to provide web-site hosting and assistance.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Our revenues during the foreseeable future are insufficient to finance our business and we are entirely dependent on the willingness of existing investors to continue supporting the Company with working capital loans and equity investments, and our ability to find new investors should the financial support from existing investors prove to be insufficient. If we were unable to obtain a steady flow of new debt or equity-based working capital we would be forced to cease operations. In their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, our auditors had expressed an opinion that, as a result of the losses incurred, there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.

 

3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

 

The Company maintains cash balances in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash balances in bank accounts did not exceed this limit. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. and overseas. The

7. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY

 

On December 10, 2013, the company signed an equity purchase agreement with Marcus Winkler to sell to him eighty (80%) percent of the equity of its German subsidiary, Kwick. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the purchaser paid 36,000 Euros as the purchase price and the company was required to obtain shareholder approval of the sale as required under applicable Delaware Law. The majority shareholder approval was obtained on December 18, 2013. In addition, the Company and Mr. Winkler signed a Lock-Up and Standstill Agreement pursuant to the general terms of which the Company agreed not to participate in the management, operations or finances of Kwick, which shall be exclusively managed and under control of the purchaser. Accordingly, the Company’s minority ownership position shall be subject, in all respects, to the exclusive control of the purchaser. Mr. Winkler also has investment and voting control over

Due to the significant reduction in the Company’s percentage of controlling interest in Kwick (down to 20%), coupled with the contract restrictions over voting rights and management of the operations of Kwick subsequent to December 18, 2013, the Company recognized the deconsolidation of Kwick as of that date, resulting in a loss on deconsolidation of $253,557, and now carries the investment in Kwick under the cost method of accounting.

13. DERIVATIVE CONVERSION FEATURES

 

On July 27, 2010, the Company issued two Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes (“Class A Notes”), one to Cambridge Services, Inc., in the principal amount of $683,996, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since June 26, 2009, and one to Discover Advisory Company, in the principal amount of $1,160,984, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since September 19, 2008 and including advances through September 30, 2010. Each of these promissory notes are due on demand, accrue interest at the rate of 10%, per annum, are convertible (including accrued interest) at the option of each lender into Common Stock of the Company at 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001 (the "Conversion Price"). Both promissory notes contain conversion caps, limiting conversions under these notes to a maximum beneficial ownership position of Company common stock to 9.99% for each lender. Each of these notes contains Company covenants, requiring the lenders’ prior written consent in order for the Company to merge, issue any common or preferred stock or any convertible debt instruments, declare a stock split or dividends, increase any compensation to its officers or directors by more than five (5%) during any calendar year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 no debt was converted.

 

The Company renegotiated certain outstanding promissory notes with its four major creditors, Discover Advisory Company of the Bahamas (“DAC”), Kreuzfeld Ltd. of Switzerland (“Kreuzfeld”), Cambridge Services, Inc. of Panama (“CSI”) and Vermoegensverwaltungs-Gesellschaft Zurich LTD of Switzerland (“VGZ”). As of August 1, 2012, the Company authorized the issue of a new series of corporate notes, the Class AA Senior Secured Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes, dated as of August 1, 2012 (the New Note(s)”) and issued New Notes: (1) to DAC, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated July 27, 2010, in the original principal amount of $1,080,984, now cancelled, which had an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $3,952,008 as of December 31, 2013 and $4,192,975 at September 30, 2014; (2) to Kreuzfeld, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated September 16, 2011, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, which had an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $4,267,834 at December 31, 2013 and $4,534,473 at September 30, 2014; (3) to CSI, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated August 1, 2011, in the original principal amount of $1,303,996, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $2,729,435 as of December 31, 2013, and $3,723,636 at September 30, 2014 and; (4) to VGZ, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated September 30, 2010, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $955,159 as of December 31, 2013 and $1,012,897 at September 30, 2014.

13. DERIVATIVE CONVERSION FEATURES (Continued)

 

2014. All of the New Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10%, are convertible into common shares at the conversion rate equal to 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001, and are due on demand.. Pursuant to an Equity and Stock Pledge Agreement, also negotiated and executed as of August 1, 2012, the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness of the New Notes is secured by all of the limited partnership interests of the Company’s partly-owned (now deconsolidated) German subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG, a private German limited partnership (“KG”), and all of its shares of the sole general partner of KG, KWICK! Community Beteiligungs GmbH.

 

On February 28, 2012 the Company signed a convertible note with Michael Pisani. This was a 1 year note that was convertible at $0.025 per share in the amount of $50,000. In the event that any portion of any outstanding Company promissory note, preferred share, warrant or stock option held of record by a non-affiliate of the Company is converted, exercised or exchanged for common shares of the Company at a conversion price or conversion rate less than $0.025 per one (1) common share anytime any part of the outstanding principal amount of this note is outstanding, the conversion rate of this note shall automatically be adjusted to such lower conversion rate. The Company evaluated this conversion contingency under the guidance at ASC 815-40-15 and determined that this conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host contract and measured at fair value. The Company valued this conversion feature utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model and a probability analysis with regard to the reset provision of the conversion price. The Company determined the initial value to be $55,241, with $50,000 recorded as a debt discount and the remainder as interest expense-derivative conversion features. The discount was amortized over the life of the note. A total of $8,333 in amortization expense was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 this debt plus accrued interest was paid in full .

 

The Company accounted for the conversion features underlying these convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contract in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares. The Company determined the value of the derivate conversion features of new debentures issued to these holders plus accrued interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 under these terms at the relevant commitment dates to be $1,664,218 utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model. The change in fair value of the liability for the conversion feature resulted in expense of $(121,827) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which is included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying financial statements. The fair value of these derivative conversion features was determined to be $13,610,624 at September 30, 2014.

16. FAIR VALUE

 

Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables.

 

Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This topic defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance supersedes all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Company accounted for the conversion features underlying certain convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.

 

Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820-10-55-23A, Scope Application to Certain Non-Financial Assets and Certain Non-Financial Liabilities, delaying application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.

 

Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.

 

Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently- traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds and are measured using present value pricing models. The company values the conversion liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions are updated using independent data such as the risk free rate, volatility and expected life for each valuation date based on changes over time.

 

The following table reconciles, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements:
Conversion Liability at January 1, 2014	$		12,068,233
Value of beneficial conversion features of new debentures			1,664,218
Change in value of beneficial conversion features during period			(121,827)
Reductions in fair value due to principal conversions			-
Conversion Liability at September  30, 2014		$	13,610,624

 

The fair value of the conversion features are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a conversion liability for the calculated value. The Company recognizes interest expense for the recognition of the conversion liability.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, total revenues amounted to $7,579 and $27,078, respectively compared to $212,570 and $790,657 recorded in the same periods in 2013. This decrease is a result in the deconsolidation that occurred when 80% of Kwick was sold in 2013 (see Note 7 of Financial Statements).

 

Gross Profit (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2,427 and $13,136, respectively, after accounting for $5,152 and $13,942 respectively, in cost of sales. After deducting selling and general and administrative expenses of $270,436 and $898,860 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $357,722 and $1,172,067 recorded in the same period in 2013 (excluding the goodwill impairment in 2013), the Company realized operating losses of $268,009 and $885,724 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to operating losses of $2,815,128 and $7,124,302 in the same periods in 2013. The decline in selling and general and administrative expenses was the result of the deconsolidation of Kwick!

The quarter concluded with a net loss of $656,147 for the quarter and net loss of $3,224,386 for the first nine months of 2014. After accounting for dividends accrued on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $38,447, the net loss applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $3,262,833 or $0.005 per share compared to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $5,819,755 or $0.009 per share for the same period in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our business with new debt since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We received $230,000 in cash from short-term loans from accredited private investors during the quarter. We have an ongoing and urgent need for working capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to continue to receive new equity investments or obtain loans, we will not be able to fund our operations and we will be required to close our business.

 

Our deficit in working capital amounted to $29,146,932 at September 30, 2014, as compared to $25,887,308 at December 31, 2013. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $29,122,850 at the end of the period, compared to an impairment of $25,860,017 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations during the nine months totaled $819,791 and was financed by new debt.

The Company had $8,408 of bank debt as of September 30, 2014. Aside from trade payables and accruals, our remaining indebtedness at September 30, 2014 consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating $11,148,699, liabilities for derivative conversion features of $13,610,624, amounts due to related parties of $62,464, and the following obligations. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $272,248 accounts for common shares due under consulting agreements, and for services to be settled in common stock options and warrants, where the underlying securities had not yet been issued. Current liabilities also include $722,839 accrued unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.

Our current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future will be insufficient to fund our operations and website development and marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements with further investments in form of debt or equity capital and are in ongoing discussions with existing investors to secure funding. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to secure needed financing in the future and identify a financing source or sources, and if we do, whether the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially reasonable.

 

Absent the receipt of needed equity investment or loans, we will be compelled to severely curtail operations and possibly, close our business operations. Assuming we can receive current funds to continue to operate our businesses, we may need additional funding for marketing and website development, absent of which our website development, results of operations and financial condition could be subject to material adverse consequences.

Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the fiscal period ended June 30, 2014 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

 

As of September 30, 2014, management assessed, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as more fully described below.  Based on management’s assessment over financial reporting, management believes as of September 30, 2014, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following deficiencies:

 

1. The Company’s control environment did not have adequate segregation of duties and lacked adequate accounting resources to address non routine and complex transactions and financial reporting matters on a timely basis.

 

2. The Company had only a part time chief financial officer performing all accounting related duties on site, presenting the risk that the reporting of these non routine and complex transactions during the preparation of our future financial statements and disclosures may not be accomplished in a timely manner. Additionally in September 2012 the Company hired a comptroller to assist the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Company management believes that notwithstanding the above identified deficiencies that constitute our material weakness, that the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

 

- When available, we will devote additional resources to supplement, where necessary, existing resources with additional qualified third party consultants;

 

- We are continuing to institute more stringent approval processes for financial transactions, and

 

- We are continuing to perform additional procedures and analyses for significant transactions as a mitigating control in the control environment due to segregation of duties issues.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Other than as stated above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

These dividends have been accrued, however, the Company’s management has refrained from making payments at this time because of the absence of positive equity and/or surplus funds.
