Organizational History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Charlie GPS Inc. on November 29, 2010 to engage in the business of distribution of GPS tracking units with user ability to track their assets over internet based systems. We developed our business plan and commenced operations in this area but did not achieve any operating revenues. In November 2012, we engaged in discussions involving a possible purchase of social media related assets.
On November 20, 2012, we filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “First Charter Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to, among other things, (i) change our name to Live Event Media, Inc.; (ii) increase our authorized capitalization from 75,000,000 shares, consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, to 310,000,000 shares, consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share; and (iii) limit the liability of our officers and directors to us, our stockholders and our creditors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Our Board of Directors, by written consent dated November 19, 2012, approved, and stockholders holding 8,000,000 shares (approximately 76.92%) of our outstanding common stock on November 19, 2012, consented in writing to, the First Charter Amendment.
| 4 |
On February 20, 2013, we filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Charter Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to change our name to Eventure Interactive, Inc., Our Board of Directors, by written consent dated February 19, 2013, approved and stockholders holding 13,431,250 shares (approximately 75.1%) of our outstanding common stock on February 19, 2013, consented in writing to the Second Charter Amendment.
On November 21, 2012, we entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Local Event Media, Inc., our former wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, and Gannon Giguiere and Alan Johnson (collectively the “Sellers”) under which the Sellers sold to us assets (the “Social Communication Assets”) intended to enable us to engage in the social media business. The Social Communication Assets consist of a software platform with millions of lines of code authored in various languages including, but not limited to HTML, Java, Python and SQL. The software platform operates at multiple levels from a back-end, middle-ware and front-end, all which have been compiled into a fully functional web based application. The software has been and will continue to be written locally by various software developers, committed to a storage vault and then compiled into a functional application, which is then served on rented servers or what is currently referred to as a cloud server farm.
Effective July 29, 2014 we dissolved Local Event Media, Inc. Prior to dissolution, Local Event Media, Inc. transferred all of its assets and liabilities to us.
On April 8, 2015, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to create a series of preferred stock designated Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) consisting of 1,000,000 shares. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cast the equivalent of 1,000 common votes per share. The holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two directors of the Company and the holders of record of the shares of common stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one director of the Company. At any time when shares of Series A Preferred Stock shares are outstanding, the Company may not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or our Articles of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect:
| • | liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Company, effect any merger or consolidation or any other similar event, or consent to any of the foregoing; |
| • | amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock; |
| • | create, or hold capital stock in, any subsidiary that is not wholly owned (either directly or through one or more other subsidiaries) by the Company, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, or permit any direct or indirect subsidiary to sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or otherwise dispose (in a single transaction or series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of such subsidiary; or |
| • | increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Company’s board of directors. |
The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemable. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Designation may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least fifty (50%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. Except for the aforementioned voting rights, there are no other rights, privileges, or preferences attendant or relating to in any way the Class A Preferred Stock, including by way of illustration but not limitation, those concerning dividend, ranking, conversion, other redemption, participation, or anti-dilution rights or preferences. No shares of Series A Preferred Stock are presently issued and outstanding, but it is expected that shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be issued to one or more members of current management in the future to better enable them to maintain their existing voting control.

Business Overview and Strategy
Since November 21, 2012, we have engaged in the social communications business. We are a social application development company that is capturing everyday events and turning them into meaningful memories to be scrapbooked, organized, and referenced forever (automatically). Every day, millions of people are forced to use multiple applications to plan, invite, navigate, capture, organize and share their social and business events. Without organization and a simple retrieval system, sharing and recalling their memories are often difficult, and many times non-existent. In addition, currently used techniques of memory sharing are person-to-person as opposed to people-to-event, so many captured memories never end up being socially shared on an optimum basis. Most of the currently available apps are disjointed which results in a scattered experience for the user. It is not uncommon for a person to have several thousand photos on his camera roll and also replicated on his hard drive; have to toggle between multiple calendars and invite applications; and have to spend endless hours organizing and attaching photos and videos; just so he can share the memories captured from an event. Thus, there is not a simple, one-stop solution that detects relevancy of a group conversation, syncs with device applications and allows for access / review of activities.
Our technically unique, yet simple-to-use, patented mobile-to-web technology platform provides users with a single application that addresses these inefficiencies in the social marketplace by enabling captured memories to be centrally stored and effortlessly shared among event attendees in a secure, real-time, mobile ad-hoc network. “Eventure Everywhere” is keystone to our business offerings and our strategy to maximize the experience of each event with rich features to successfully schedule, capture, scrapbook (store); and share one’s life and events in a meaningful way. Eventure Everywhere includes: “Anonymous Messaging,” “Event Genius,” “Wish I was There,” “I’ll Be There,” “Intelligent Pursing” and device learning. Combined, they are core viral adoption drivers of our solution into various target markets.
During 2015, we intend to continue to develop and commercialize our social media business. This may require us to raise additional funds to support our future growth plans.
We represent a speculative investment. Investors may lose some or all of their investment in us. We have incurred losses since our inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $27,734,925 as of December 31, 2014 and further losses are anticipated in the near term in connection with the further development of our business. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a report in connection with their December 31, 2014 audit that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and accumulated deficit and expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing, attain operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures and ultimately to general revenues.
Asset Purchase Agreement
In conjunction with the November 21, 2012 Asset Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the purchase of the Social Communications Assets, we issued an aggregate of 14,582,500 shares of our restricted common stock to Messrs. Giguiere and Johnson and their assigns. In conjunction with the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement, we closed on the sale of 200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share or an aggregate of $100,000 pursuant to a private offering in which we were offering a minimum of 200,000 shares of common stock ($100,000) and a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of common stock ($1,000,000).
| 6 |
We also took the following actions:
| • | We transferred all of our pre-Asset Purchase Agreement assets, excluding the private placement offering proceeds, and all of our pre-Asset Purchase Agreement liabilities, to a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Charlie GPS Split Corp. (“Split-Off Subsidiary”) and in connection therewith transferred all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Split-Off Subsidiary to our pre-Asset Purchase Agreement principal stockholder in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock owned by such stockholder. |
| • | On November 19, 2012, our board of directors and persons holding a majority of our outstanding common stock adopted a Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) share Equity Incentive Plan for future issuances, at the discretion of our board of directors, of awards to officers, key employees, consultants and directors. On July 1, 2013 our board of directors and persons holding a majority of our outstanding shares authorized an increase in the number of shares issuable under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand (7,500,000). |
| • | Effective at closing, our pre-Asset Purchase Agreement officers and directors resigned and we appointed new executive officers and two directors to fill the vacancies created by the resignations. In connection therewith we appointed Gannon Giguiere as our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary and appointed Alan Johnson as our President and as a Director. Gannon Giguiere resigned as our Chief Executive Officer effective April 8, 2015 at which time Jason Harvey was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer. |
| • | Effective at closing, we executed 24 month lock-up agreements with all post-closing officers and directors and all stockholders holding ten percent or more of our common stock. On March 10, 2014 we terminated the lock-up agreements. |
| • | Effective at closing, we entered into Employment Agreements with Gannon Giguiere and Alan Johnson. |
| • | Effective at closing, we entered into Indemnification Agreements with Gannon Giguiere and Alan Johnson under which we agreed to indemnify Messrs. Giguiere and Johnson and to provide for advancement of expenses under certain circumstances to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. |
| • | We adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal officers. |
Our Current Business
Since November 12, 2012, we have been engaged in the social communications business, with a specific focus on socializing the invitation, calendar, photo / video sharing and local event memory experience. Leveraging a robust technology created to test and evaluate gaps in the social networking landscape, we are currently extending our technical depth and product features, while pursuing a proven, integrated promotional strategy targeting the largest social networks (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn and Google) as “beach-head” traffic sources. Our unique feature set is focused on simplicity by combining six commonly used applications into one device agnostic application which has been developed using the latest in mobile-to-web technologies.
Every month, millions of events are held and billions of photos and videos are taken. Very few of these memories are being effectively organized in a meaningful way. Our goal is to solve this problem and address this massive market opportunity with an easy to use, highly social service solution that can be monetized quickly.
Our platform was developed as a device-to-device collaboration utility. Its primary function is to collect, rank/organize and collage "event" data. The platform is delivered in two formats: (i) a consumer social utility; and (ii) a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”).
| 7 |
Our platform was initially launched under the beta domain www.yettoknow.com to: (i) evaluate gaps in the consumer social networking landscape; and (ii) stress-test the data collaboration, ranking and presentation technology for SaaS opportunities. Registered users peaked at 1 million in the United States, India, China and U.K., 21 million business listings were aggregated, 30+ million informational pieces were sourced, 5+ million active discussions took place among members and 900+ creative templates were put into circulation. When coupled with the benchmarking scores achieved by us, we believe that our platform is one of the most efficient online peer-to-peer data accumulation applications in the market.
Our simple, yet elegant, web-to-mobile application enables individuals to easily create, capture, and organize life's memories. From the most basic lunch between friends, to the most elaborate star-studded gala, Eventure allows everyone to chip in during the planning of an event, easily check-in when you arrive at the event, capture and stream pictures and video during the event, and then scrapboard the collage of activity after it is all done.
Our principal products are:
| • | Mobile application for Android-based smartphones and mobile devices; |
| • | Mobile application for iOS-based smartphones and mobile devices; and |
| • | Website – www.eventure.com, which, together with the above, collectively form the Eventure Service. |
The Eventure Service simplifies how people actually organize a gathering and share information amongst themselves, by simply “listening” and “presenting” our features that are most applicable to their planning, attending and sharing needs. Our platform streamlines the need for multiple applications to find, plan, invite, navigate, capture, organize and share events into a single, simple application.
Our core platform includes:
| • | Invitation and cards libraries – Thousands of creative pieces allowing for the creation of invitations to/from events, and transmission of those invitations via email, SMS, or direct mail, and the browsing of future events that friends are attending (and opt-in) to get invited to join via private groupings; |
| • | Native calendar – Marks the event date, time, and location. Provides enhanced RSVP management, offers organizational list generation, and gives intuitive reminders to attendees; |
| • | Local events database – Comprised of over 7 million event and activities listings; over 21 million venue listings; over 10 million interests; and over 30 million information pieces; |
| • | “Eventure Everywhere” functionality – Mobile responsiveness, securely across any mobile platform that enables a passive auto-check-in capability built on a technique called “geo-fencing”, which allows participants of events to form a private peer-to-peer network for the purpose of capturing pictures, videos, and messaging (which is the core of our Patent – US Patent No. 8,769,610) – all of which is streamed to a scrapboard and tied to each specific event for long-term memory sharing, retrieval, and storage. |
Feature highlights of the platform include:
| • | Instant, smart communications platform that allow users to tap into our rich features through text messaging; |
| • | A robust social calendar and rich creative library to create fun and stylized invites for events; |
| • | Secure and private “group forming” whereby a user has ultimate control of what photos, videos and messages may be shared with whom and when; and |
| • | Targeted recommendations of local ideas to users based on behaviors, habits, and interests. |

On August 12, 2014, we acquired the business operations, including the assets, of Gift Ya Now, an electronic gift card platform created by Vinay Jatwani, who joined us in a consulting capacity in conjunction therewith. Gift Ya Now has more than 450 retailers and restaurants on its platform which enables consumers to quickly and easily find, purchase and send electronic gift cards from leading brands. The assets of Gift Ya Now are comprised of software code base, original design / creative elements, domain name and strategic relationships. We intend to integrate Gift Ya Now into the Eventure Service as well as maintaining Gift Ya Now as a standalone brand. Mr. Jatwani will be working with us with respect to such integration and the launch of Gift Ya Now as part of our product offerings. We continue to work through partnership relationships and core integration into our Website, Android and iOS applications.
In the course of the evolution of our products and services, we anticipate receiving revenues from the following sources:
| • | Digital Invitation Sales |
| • | Event Ticket Sales |
| • | Gift Card Sales |
| • | Sponsored Content |
| • | Targeted Listings |
| • | Promotional Offers |
| • | Media Cloud Storage |
| • | Ad Suppression Subscriptions |
| • | Data licensing |
We expect to achieve operating revenue in or about the second quarter of 2016. Digital Invitation Sales, Event Ticket Sales and Gift Card Sales are expected to represent approximately 75% of revenue during the first 24 months following our achievement of revenues. Subsequently, we expect that the advertising components of the Eventure Service will begin taking shape and start representing a significant percentage of our overall revenue base.
Domain Name Acquisition
On December 28, 2012, we entered into a Domain Name Purchase and Assignment Agreement pursuant to which we acquired the internet domain name “eventure.com” for $60,000 and 25,000 shares of our common stock. We subsequently launched our social calendar application on this website.
Market
Our target market is the ever-growing social media consumer user market, which according to a 2013 study by ComputerWorld, is estimated to be 1.6 Billion users (representing 27.3% of the world’s population), and projected to grow to 2.33 billion users by 2017 (representing 31.3% of the world’s population).
We are pursuing a proven distribution model that allowed us to grow to over 1 million users during our alpha test-phase by leveraging our CEO/Co-Founder’s 20+ years of experience in online traffic generation with the large search engines that include Google, Bing, Yahoo, as well as leading social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter, all which are intended to drive mainstream adoption and long-term sustainable growth. Additionally, we intend to pursue initial user adoption by tapping into our Chief Corporate Development Officer / Co-Founder’s network of global celebrities and socialites to create awareness, generate buzz, and drive viral expansion.
We have recently created an internal “Labs Team” comprised of senior technical advisors and senior employees to further foster and commercialize technologies to further support our focus in streamlining in-event communications and make local events smarter.
| 9 |
The social applications market continues to grow with successful companies establishing focused services. For example, Facebook brought a person's "friends" in view, Pinterest socialized a browser's bookmarking feature and Waze socialized the GPS. Vintage social networking consists of Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Imgur, Instagram, Foursquare, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, Reddit, Skype and Tumblr. Our goal is to improve upon many of these applications fundamental functions, and take the market’s mainstream utilization methods of person-to-person content sharing and turn them into a people-to-event content methodology. We provide for our features to be presented to our users in a smart and effective manner and attempt to bring ordinary event creation to life by tying in text messaging.
Competition
The market for social media applications is large and growing. According to various media venues, it is speculated that nearly one in four people around the world are using social technologies. The largest social media networks in the world, measured by active users, as of June 30, 2014 were Facebook (1.3bn), Chinese social network QZone (644mn), Google+ (343mn), LinkedIn (300mn), and Twitter (255mn). This market is extremely competitive and characterized by well-funded existing players, high capital inflows, and rapidly changing technologies. In addition to competitive and technological challenges, participants in the social media industry must remain flexible enough to accommodate changes in consumer preferences and tastes.
We have identified our core competitors as being WhatsApp, SnapChat, Instagram, Ansa and Yeti. These companies have significantly greater operating histories and financial and human resources than we do. The combination of the challenges of changing consumer preferences and technological advancements, and heavy investment flow to the industry have caused high levels of acquisition activity in the space. We note that in many cases, the valuation metrics appear to be based on user growth and engagement, of which we are focused on while we bring our product offerings into the market. To become and remain competitive, we will need to consistently grow our user base, innovate with new technological breakthroughs and improve our capital base for investment in various aspects of our business.
Employees
As of March 1, 2015, we had 13 employees, including 4 operational / marketing employees (which includes our executive officers) and 9 technical service employees. We were also utilizing the services of 40 outside contractors including 33 design contractors. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
Intellectual Property
On July 1, 2014, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent (Patent No. 8769610) to Gannon Giguiere, Alan Johnson and Timothy Lyons (collectively, the “Assignors”) in furtherance of a patent application filed by the Assignors on October 31, 2013 for an invention (the “Invention”) titled “Distance Modified Security and Content Sharing.” By assignment dated October 31, 2013, the Assignors assigned their respective rights under the patent to us. The patent is focused on protecting systems and methods for sharing resources in ad-hoc, peer-to-peer networks. Among other things, such systems and methods allow users attending a concert, ball game or other event to share content with each other based on their geographic or social proximity, while maintaining various levels of control over the content that is being shared. From a broader perspective, the technology facilitates planning, inviting, attending, capturing and/or scrapboarding of photos and other information. A child application is on file with respect to the Invention. We intend to broaden the scope of coverage further, focusing on additional features, including specifics of security and inheritance.

Government Regulations
Our business as presently conducted is not subject to any unique or industry related governmental regulations.
Loans
During the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received loans from various persons including, but not limited to, officers, directors, shareholders and third parties. As of March 31, 2015, we had loans outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $930,158 which includes $175,158 in loans from related parties. Loans in the principal amount of $315,158, including $165,158 in loans from related parties, are presently due and payable. Except as provided below, we are paying interest at the rate of 1% per annum on each of the outstanding loans. See “Transactions With Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons and Corporate Governance” and “Risk Factors.”
On December 15, 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with LG Capital Funding, LLC (“LG”) pursuant to which LG purchased an 8% redeemable, convertible note (the “LG Note”) from us in the principal amount of $110,000 due December 15, 2015. The LG Note was subject to an original issue discount resulting in a purchase price of $95,000. The LG Note is convertible by LG, at its option, any time after 180 days from the date of issuance at a conversion price equal to 62% of the lowest closing bid price for our common stock for the twenty trading days prior to the date upon which LG provides us with a notice of conversion. The LG Note may be prepaid by us any time within 180 days from the date of issuance at a premium ranging from 115% for a prepayment within the initial 30 days to 145% for a prepayment after 150 days from the date of issuance but on or prior to 180 days from the date of issuance.

Aladdin Equity Purchase Agreement
On November 25, 2014, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with Aladdin Trading, LLC (“Aladdin”) in order to establish a new source of funding for us. Under the Equity Purchase Agreement, Aladdin agreed to provide us with up to $5,000,000 of funding upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1. The registration statement was declared effective on January 28, 2015. Since the effectiveness of the registration statement, we have been able to deliver puts to Aladdin under the Equity Purchase Agreement under which Aladdin is obligated to purchase shares of our common stock based on the investment amount specified in each put notice, which investment amount may be any amount up to $5,000,000 less the investment amount received by us from all prior puts, if any. Puts may be delivered by us to Aladdin until the earlier of December 31, 2015 or the date on which Aladdin has purchased an aggregate of $5,000,000 of put shares. The number of shares of our common stock that Aladdin will purchase pursuant to each put notice (“Put Shares”) is determined by dividing the investment amount specified in the put by the purchase price. The purchase price per share of common stock is set at fifty (50%) of the Market Price for our common stock with Market Price being defined as the volume weighted average trading price for our common stock during the three consecutive trading days immediately following the date of our put notice to Aladdin (the “Pricing Period”). There is no minimum amount that we can put to Aladdin at any one time. On the put notice date, we are required to deliver put shares (“Estimated Put Shares”) to Aladdin in an amount determined by dividing the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the put notice date multiplied by 50% and Aladdin is required to simultaneously deliver to us the investment amount indicated on the put notice. At the end of the Pricing Period, when the purchase price is established and the number of Put Shares for a particular put is determined, Aladdin must return to us any excess Put Shares provided as Estimated Put Shares or alternatively we must deliver to Aladdin any additional Put Shares required to cover the shortfall between the amount of Estimated Put Shares and the amount of Put Shares. At the end of the pricing period we must also return to Aladdin any excess related to the investment amount previously delivered to us. Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, Aladdin and its affiliates will not be issued shares of our common stock that would result in Aladdin’s beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we registered 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance to and sale by Aladdin pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement.
On February 2, 2015, we delivered a put notice to Aladdin for an investment amount of $75,000. This resulted in our issuance of 1,153,847 shares to Aladdin. On February 20, 2015, we delivered a second put notice to Aladdin for an investment amount of $100,000. This resulted in our issuance of 1,538,462 shares to Aladdin, 198,877 of which were required to be returned to us for cancellation resulting in a net issuance of 1,339,585 shares to Aladdin as the 1,538,462 share issuance represented an estimate as to the number of shares covered by the put. Aladdin owes us $25,000 from the second put. On March 10, 2015, we delivered a third put notice to Aladdin for an investment amount of $100,000. This resulted in our issuance of 2,352,942 shares to Aladdin. Based upon the price of our common stock for the third put valuation period we were required to issue an additional 58,322 shares to Aladdin resulting in a net issuance of 2,411,265 shares pursuant to the third put. We have deducted 58,323 shares from the share amount required to be returned to us from the second put and are now entitled to the return of 140,554 shares from the second put share issuance. Aladdin owes us $100,000 from the third put. Unless the price of our common stock increases substantially, we will not have access to the full commitment amount under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

Kodiak Equity Purchase Agreement

In June 2014, Kodiak received a one-time issuance of 85,714 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee for the investment. In addition, we paid Kodiak a $10,000 document preparation fee. Although we were not mandated to sell shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Equity Purchase Agreement gave us the option to sell to Kodiak, following effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), up to $3,000,000 worth of our common stock over the period ending December 31, 2015.
The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) of the common stock was set at eighty percent (80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock during the pricing period. The pricing period was the five consecutive trading days immediately after the put notice date.
On the put notice date, we were required to deliver put shares (the “Put Shares”) to Kodiak in an amount (the “Estimated Put Shares”) determined by dividing the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the put notice date multiplied by 80% and Kodiak was required to simultaneously deliver to our representative, to hold in escrow, the investment amount indicated on the put notice. At the end of the pricing period when the purchase price was established and the number of Put Shares for a particular put was definitely determined, Kodiak was required to return to us any excess Put Shares provided as Estimated Put Shares or alternatively, we were required to deliver to Kodiak any additional Put Shares required to cover the shortfall between the amount of Estimated Put Shares and the amount of Put Shares. At the end of the pricing period, we were also required to return to Kodiak any excess related to the investment amount previously delivered to us.
The Registration Statement was declared effective on October 21, 2014. Effective October 22, 2014, we provided an amended Put Notice to Kodiak for an investment amount of $300,000. The lowest daily VWAP for our common stock during the pricing period which ended on October 29, 2014 was $0.42038 per share resulting in a Purchase Price of $0.336304 per share. Based thereon, the number of Put Shares issued to Kodiak under the Put was 892,050. The excess Estimated Put Shares (1,407,950 shares) delivered to Kodiak were returned to the Company’s transfer agent and subsequently cancelled. On November 13, 2014 we terminated the Equity Purchase Agreement.

In connection therewith, on January 2, 2013 we issued 300,000 non-statutory stock options to Mr. Lyons under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, each option being exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of ten years from issuance. We are also paying Mr. Lyons $5,000 per month for his services. In March 2014 we issued 200,000 shares of our restricted common stock to Mr. Lyons in further consideration of services rendered. On February 2, 2015, we issued 250,000 non-statutory stock options to Mr. Lyons under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, each option vesting monthly and ratably over the 36 month period commencing upon issuance and having an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
Effective August 15, 2013, we entered into an Independent Contractor Agreement which we amended on December 31, 2014 with Jigsaw Partners Inc., (“Jigsaw”) pursuant to which Jigsaw provides us with marketing and other services intended to generate traffic/users to our products and services. Effective December 31, 2013, we amended the agreement. The agreement has a term of two years and may be renewed or extended as mutually agreed by the parties. Pursuant to the agreement, we are paying Jigsaw (i) a cash retainer of $2,500 per month, (ii) bounty payments on the basis of a $0.10 bounty per download/acquisition of new users (defined as application downloads or new user accounts created that logs in and creates two new sessions), (iii) a 10% commission on net new revenues and a 5% commission on net renewal revenues derived from invitation sales (on net new revenues only), cloud storage, ad suppression and other services offered to consumers from time to time deemed to be generated by active use accounts established via the traffic generation efforts of Jigsaw. Net new revenue is defined in the agreement as revenue minus the cost of the service allocated to the exact type of revenue. Net renewal revenue is defined in the agreement as revenue minus the cost of the service allocated to the exact type of revenue. Our obligation to pay net renewal revenue to Jigsaw continues, to the extent applicable, beyond the termination of the agreement. Jigsaw may, in its sole discretion, agree to accept shares of our common stock in lieu of any cash payments due to Jigsaw pursuant to the agreement. The number of shares issuable to Jigsaw will be determined based upon the average closing price for our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date on which we receive notice from Jigsaw as to its intention to accept shares after applying a 10% discount to such average closing price. Alternatively, the number of shares issuable to Jigsaw may be based on the price at which we are offering shares in a private placement taking place at the time we receive notice from Jigsaw to accept shares or in a private placement which closed within thirty days of the date of notice. Pursuant to the amendment, the parties agreed to limit the aggregate maximum number of shares of our common stock which can be issued to Jigsaw under the agreement in lieu of cash payment to 100,000 shares. The services being provided by Jigsaw pursuant to the agreement are being provided by Jigsaw in the capacity of an independent contractor. The agreement also contains a standard confidentiality provision.
On March 19, 2013, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with John Keema. In connection therewith, in March 2013, we issued 50,000 stock options with an exercise price of $1.00 per share to Mr. Keema.

Advisory Board
Effective December 3, 2012, we established an advisory board to provide us with financial, technical and business advice and appointed the initial four members thereto. Effective March 10, 2014, we appointed the three additional members to our advisory board. See Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – Advisory Board.

| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this Annual Report, including information in the section of this Annual Report entitled "Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements." The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS
We have incurred losses since our inception, have yet to achieve profitable operations and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $23,381,550. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $3,046,187. At December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $27,734,925. We have generated no revenues to date. We plan to increase our expenses associated with the development of our social communications business. There is no assurance we will be able to derive revenues from the development of our social communications business to successfully achieve positive cash flow or that our social communications business will be successful. If we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profits on a quarterly or annual basis.
We believe that long-term profitability and growth will depend on our ability to:
| • | develop and grow our social communications business; or |
| • | engage in any alternative business. |
Inability to successfully execute on any of the above, among other factors, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results or operations.
Because we have a limited operating history, have yet to attain profitable operations and will need additional financing to fund our businesses, there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have accumulated a loss to date and have relied on raising funds through private placements and from loans from officers, directors, and third parties. During 2014, we raised $1,575,000 from sales of our common stock and at December 31, 2014 held $2,957 in cash.
| 19 |
As of December 31 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $27,734,925 and had not generated any revenues. The future of our Company is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, upon the future success of our business and upon our ability to achieve profitable operations. Our independent registered accounting firm issued a report in connection with their December 31, 2014 audit that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and accumulated deficit and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.
If we engage in acquisition or expansion activities, we may require additional financing to fund our operations. We will seek such additional funds through private placements of our equity or debt securities or through loans from financial institutions, our officers and directors or our stockholders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds, if needed, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not obtain additional financing, when required, our planned business may fail.
Obtaining additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of the value of our social communications business. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount, terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional financing unavailable to us.
To date, our sources of cash have been primarily limited to the sale of our equity securities and loans from executive officers, directors, and third parties. We cannot be certain that additional funding via this means will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that we are able to raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing that we may secure, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital, when required, or on acceptable terms, we may have to delay or scale back significantly or discontinue our planned business projects. Inability to obtain these or other sources of capital could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results or operations.
Certain of our outstanding loans are past due. No assurance can be given that we can pay off such loans should the lenders determine to seek payment on such loans at a time or times when we do not have sufficient cash assets to do so.
$315,158 in principal, together with accrued interest due thereon, of our outstanding loans are presently due and payable, including $165,158 in loan principal due to related parties. Should the lenders seek payment at a time when we do not have sufficient cash assets to make payment and bring enforcement actions against us, this would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results and operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We have no independent directors, which poses a significant risk for us from a corporate governance perspective.
Two of our three executive officers, namely Gannon Giguiere, our president and secretary, and Michael Rountree, our chief financial officer and treasurer, also serves as two of our three directors. Alan Johnson, our chief corporate development officer, serves as our other director. Jason Harvey, our chief executive officer, does not serve as a director. Our directors and executive officers are required to make interested party decisions, such as the approval of related party transactions, their level of compensation, and oversight of our accounting function. Our directors and executive officers also exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the nomination of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. We have chosen not to implement various corporate governance measures, the absence of which may cause stockholders to have more limited protections against transactions implemented by our board of directors, conflicts of interest and similar matters. Stockholders should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
| 20 |
We may find it difficult to attract senior management in the absence of Directors and Officers Insurance.
We do not presently maintain Directors and Officers Insurance. This may deter or preclude persons from joining our management or cause them to demand additional compensation to join our management.
We will need to increase our size, and may experience difficulties in managing growth.
We are a smaller reporting company with 13 employees as of March 1, 2015. We hope to experience a period of expansion in headcount, facilities, infrastructure and overhead to develop our prospective social media businesses and to address potential growth and market opportunities. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional independent contractors and managers. Our future financial performance and our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively. Inability to manage future growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results or operations.
Our officers and directors may engage in business ventures and activities outside of their engagements with us.
Our officers and directors may devote a reasonable amount of time to civic, community or charitable activities and may serve as investors, employees, directors and/or executive officers of other corporations or entities provided that any such other corporation or entity is not a competitor of ours and that their responsibilities with respect thereto do not conflict with or interfere with the faithful performance of their duties to us. Although not expected, this may result in scheduling conflicts for such persons.
The issuance of shares of our Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock will limit the ability of the holders of shares of our common stock to approve matters subject to the vote of shareholders.
Our Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock entitles the holders of such shares to 1,000 votes per share on matters in which holders of the Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock and holders of our common stock vote as a single class. It also gives the holders of such stock the right, as a class, to elect two of our three directors and to approve certain significant transactions including, but not limited to, liquidations, dissolutions, mergers, consolidations, charter amendments and changes in the size of the board. If issued, the majority holders of the Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock will have the ability to exert control over the matters referenced above and all other matters which are subject to shareholder vote.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS BUSINESS
Our social communications business is a startup business. No assurance can be given that we can successfully achieve demand for our products and services and achieve profitability.
We started our social communications business upon the November 21, 2012 closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement. There is no certainty that our products and services will achieve market acceptance or that we will achieve profitability. Commercial relationships have to be developed with other market participants to deliver our products and services to market which cannot be guaranteed to be consummated in a timely fashion, if at all.
| 21 |
Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.
Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of our management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the market place. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected.
We are operating in a highly competitive market.
The development and marketing of a social communications business is extremely competitive. In many cases we will compete with entrenched social communications businesses. Competitors range from start-up companies to established companies, most of which have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and human resource capabilities than we have, as well as established positions in markets and name brand recognition.
The development of our business is uncertain.
Our development efforts are subject to unanticipated delays, expenses or technical or other problems, as well as the possible insufficiency of funding to complete development. Our success will depend, in part, upon our products, services and technologies meeting acceptable cost and performance criteria, and upon their timely introduction into the marketplace. All of our proposed products, services and technologies may never be successfully developed, and even if developed, they may not satisfactorily perform the functions for which they are designed. Additionally, these products and services may not meet applicable price or performance objectives. Unanticipated technical or other problems may accrue which would result in increased costs or material delays in their development or commercialization.
We may be subject to third-party claims that we require additional patents for our products and we could face costly litigation, which could cause us to pay substantial damages and limit our ability to sell some or all of our products.
Our industry is characterized by a large number of patents, claims of which appear to overlap in many cases. As a result, there is a significant amount of uncertainty regarding the extent of patent protection and infringement. Companies may have pending patent applications (which are can be confidential for up to the first eighteen months following filing) that cover technologies we incorporate in our products. Our products are based on complex, rapidly developing technologies. These products could be developed without knowledge of previously filed patent applications that mature into patents that cover some aspect of these technologies. In addition, our belief that our products do not infringe the technology covered by valid and enforceable patents could be successfully challenged by third parties. As a result, we may be subjected to substantial damages for past infringement or be required to modify our products or stop selling them if it is ultimately determined that our products infringe a third party’s proprietary rights. Due to these factors, there remains a constant risk of intellectual property litigation affecting our business. To avoid or settle legal claims, it may be necessary or desirable in the future to obtain patents or licenses relating to one or more products or services or relating to current or future technologies, and we cannot be assured that we will be able to obtain these patents or licenses or other rights on commercially reasonable terms.
The cost of litigation and the amount of management time associated with infringement cases is significant. Should an infringement case be filed against us, there can be no assurance that these matters would be resolved favorably; that we would continue to be able to research, develop or sell the products in question or other products as a result; or that any legal costs associated with defending such claims or any monetary or other damages assessed against us would not have a material adverse effect on us. Even a successful outcome may take years to achieve and the costs associated with such litigation, in terms of dollars spent and diversion of management time and resources, could seriously harm the our business. Moreover, if a third party claims an intellectual property right to technology that we use, we may be forced to discontinue the use of our platforms as they are currently used, an important research and development program, product, or product line, alter our platforms, products, and processes, pay license fees, pay damages for past infringement or cease certain activities.
| 22 |
If we fail to maintain and protect our intellectual property rights, our competitors could use our technology to develop competing products and our business will suffer.
Our competitive success will be affected in part by our continued ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our inventions, technologies and discoveries, including our intellectual property that includes technologies that we may license. Our ability to do so will depend on, among other things, complex legal and factual questions. We cannot assure you that our patents will successfully preclude others from using our technology. Our patent applications may lack priority over others’ applications or may not result in the issuance of additional patents. Even if issued, our patents may not be sufficiently broad to provide protection against competitors with similar technologies and may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented.
In addition to patents, we rely and will rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure agreements, licenses and other contractual provisions and technical measures to maintain and develop our competitive position with respect to intellectual property. Nevertheless, these measures may not be adequate to safeguard the technology underlying our products. For example, employees, consultants and others who participate in the development of our products may breach their agreements with us regarding our intellectual property and we may not have adequate remedies for the breach. Our trade secrets could become known through other unforeseen means.
Notwithstanding our efforts to protect our intellectual property, our competitors may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or products that are competitive with, equal or superior to our technology. Our competitors may also develop similar products without infringing on any of our owned intellectual property rights or design around our proprietary technologies. Furthermore, any efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights could result in disputes and legal proceedings that could be costly and divert attention from our business.
We may need to initiate lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which would be expensive and, if we lose, may cause us to lose some, if not all, of our intellectual property rights, and thereby impair our ability to compete.
We rely and will continue to rely on patents to protect a large part of our intellectual property. To protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits or interference proceedings. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time and divert management’s attention from other business concerns. They would also put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and our patent applications at risk of not issuing. We may also provoke these third parties to assert claims against us. Patent law relating to the scope of claims in the technology fields in which we operate is still evolving and, consequently, patent positions in our industry are generally uncertain. We cannot assure you that we would prevail in any of these suits or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, would be commercially valuable. During the course of these suits, there may be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions and other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation. Any public announcements related to these suits could cause our stock price to decline.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.
We may require additional capital to fund our future business operations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our common stock, who may experience dilution of their ownership interest of our common stock. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional common Stock by our board of directors may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock.
| 23 |
Our officers and directors collectively own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, and as long as they do, they may be able to control the outcome of stockholder voting.
Our officers and directors are collectively the beneficial owners of approximately 71.61% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this Annual Report. Further, it is expected that we will issue shares of our Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock in the future to one or more of our present officers and directors to better enable them to maintain their existing voting control. Accordingly, our officers and directors, individually and as a group, may be able to control us and direct our affairs and business, including any determination with respect to a change in control, future issuances of common stock or other securities, declaration of dividends on the common stock and the election of directors.
We have the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock and shares of preferred stock without asking for stockholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted. The issuance of shares of our Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock will limit the ability of the holders of our common stock to approve matters made subject to the vote of shareholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of common stock, preferred stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of common stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval. Accordingly, any additional issuance of our common stock, or preferred stock that may be convertible into common stock, may have the effect of diluting your investment.
On April 8, 2015, we created a series of preferred stock designated Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock consisting of 1,000,000 shares. The issuance of such shares will enable the holders thereof to exert voting control over matters requiring shareholder approval.
Our shares qualify as a penny stock. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with "penny stocks". Regulations relating to "penny stocks" limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares and, as a result, our stockholders may have to hold their shares indefinitely.
Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Regulation Section 240.3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation 240.15g(c)2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our Common Stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any common shares that are deemed to be "penny stock".
| 24 |
Moreover, Regulation 240.15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. Holders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks suffers from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
| (i) | control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; |
| (ii) | manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; |
| (iii) | boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; |
| (iv) | excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and mark-ups by selling broker-dealers; and |
| (v) | the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. |
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH ALADDIN TRADING, LLC
Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the Aladdin Equity Purchase Agreement.
The sale of our common stock to Aladdin in accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Aladdin in order to exercise a put under the Equity Purchase Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
| 25 |
The issuance of shares pursuant to the Aladdin Equity Purchase Agreement may have a significant dilutive effect.
Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the Aladdin Equity Purchase Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue) the information set out below indicates the potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Equity Purchase Agreement is realized.
Dilution is based upon common stock put to Aladdin and the stock price discounted to Aladdin’s purchase price of 50% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) during the pricing period. The example below illustrates dilution based upon a $0.10 market price/$0.05 purchase price and other increased/decreased prices (without regard to Aladdin’s 9.99% ownership limit or the number of shares being registered hereunder):
$5,000,000 Put
| Stock Price (Aladdin Purchase Price) | Shares Issued | Percentage of Outstanding Shares(1) | ||||||
| $0.125 ($0.0625) +25% | 80,000,000 | 56.6 | % | |||||
| $0.10 ($0.05) | 100,000,000 | 61.9 | % | |||||
| $0.075 ($0.0375) – 25% | 133,333,333 | 68.4 | % | |||||
| $0.05 ($0.025) – 50% | 200,000,000 | 76.5 | % | |||||
| $0.025 ($0.0125) – 75% | 400,000,000 | 86.7 | % | |||||
| (1) | Based on 61,466,431 shares outstanding as of April 1, 2015. |
Aladdin will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Our common stock to be issued under the Aladdin Equity Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a fifty percent (50%) discount or 50% of the VWAP during the three trading days immediately following our notice to Aladdin of our election to exercise our "put" right.
Aladdin has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If Aladdin sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, Aladdin may have a further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Equity Purchase Agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We registered an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Aladdin Equity Purchase Agreement. The sale of such shares could depress the market price of our common stock.
We registered an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Aladdin Equity Purchase Agreement. The sale of these shares into the public market by Aladdin could depress the market price of our common stock.
We May Not Have Access to the Full Amount under the Equity Purchase Agreement.
On March 16, 2015, the closing price of our common stock was $0.08. At that price we would be able to sell shares to Aladdin under the Equity Purchase Agreement at the discounted price of $0.04. There is no assurance that the market price of our common stock will increase from its current level. At a purchase price of $0.04 we would receive a maximum of $800,000 under the Equity Purchase Agreement. We will not have access to the full commitment under the Equity Purchase Agreement unless the share price of our common stock substantially increases from its current level.
| 26 |
Unless an active trading market develops for our securities, investors may not be able to sell their shares.
We are a reporting company and our common shares are quoted on the OTC Link (OTC.QB Tier) under the symbol “EVTI”. However, there is not currently an active trading market for our common stock and an active trading market may never develop or, if it does develop, may not be maintained. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price and therefore your investment could be a partial or complete loss.
Since our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to):
| • | the trading volume of our shares; |
| • | the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock; |
| • | new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors; |
| • | actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; |
| • | conditions or trends in our business industries; |
| • | announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| • | additions or departures of key personnel; |
| • | sales of our common stock and |
| • | general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded, and particularly microcap, companies. |
Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities.

| 36 |
Since the inception of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, 167,183 options granted have been forfeited, 300,000 have been cancelled and 32,818 have expired.
2015 Equity Incentive Plan
On February 2, 2015, our board of directors approved our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Our shareholders have yet to approve the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and unless they do so prior to February 2, 2016, we will not be able to issue incentive stock options under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. A total of 11,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan. If an incentive award granted under the 2015 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2015 Plan. Shares issued under the 2015 Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of acquiring another entity are not expected to reduce the maximum number of shares available under the 2015 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2015 Plan and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.
The compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2015 Plan and grants made thereunder. Subject to the terms of the 2015 Plan, the compensation committee has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2015 Plan. Any officer or other employee of the Company or its affiliates, or an individual that the Company or an affiliate has engaged to become an officer or employee, or a consultant or advisor who provides services to the Company or its affiliates, including a non-employee director of the Board, is eligible to receive awards under the 2015 Plan.
The 2015 Plan authorizes the grant to eligible recipients of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as described below:
| • | Options granted under the 2015 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of our common stock covered by an option cannot be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant unless agreed to otherwise at the time of the grant. Such awards may include vesting requirements. |
| • | Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by our compensation committee, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units. |
| • | The compensation committee may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions. |
| • | Stock awards are permissible. The compensation committee will establish the number of shares of common stock to be awarded and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions. |
| • | SARs, entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of common stock subject to the portion of the SAR exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR and the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR. |
| 37 |
Our Board of Directors or if then in place, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, may amend, suspend or terminate the 2015 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards. Unless sooner terminated, the 2015 Plan terminates ten years after the date on which it was adopted.
Effective February 2, 2015, an aggregate of 6,950,000 ten-year non-statutory stock options to purchase an aggregate of 6,950,000 shares of our common stock, vesting monthly and ratably over the 36 month period commencing upon issuance on the first day of each month during the vesting period with an initial vesting date of March 1, 2015 and a final vesting date of February 1, 2018 and an exercise price of $0.10 per share were issued under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan to 29 employees of ours. The recipients included Gannon Giguiere, our President, who received 2,000,000 options, Alan Johnson, our Chief Corporate Development Officer who received 1,000,000 options, Michael Rountree, our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer who received 1,000,000 options, and Jason Harvey, our Chief Executive Officer who received 750,000 options in his former capacity as Executive Vice President Product Development.

| ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report.
Results of Operations
Loss from Operations
We incurred a net loss of $23,381,550 for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expenses in the amount of $19,523,914. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $3,046,187, which was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expenses in the amount of $2,009,910. We have not yet generated any revenues since inception to support our operating expenses.
Revenues
We generated no revenues during the period from November 29, 2010 (date of inception) through December 31, 2014.
| 38 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect that we will need additional capital to implement our strategies. Given the currently unsettled state of the capital markets and credit markets, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the amount of capital that we seek for acquisitions or for future growth plans. Even if financing is available, it may not be on terms that are acceptable to us. In addition, we do not have any determined sources for any future funding. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital at the times we require such funding, we may have to materially change our business plan, including delaying implementation of aspects of our business plan or curtailing or abandoning our business plan. We represent a speculative investment and investors may lose all of their investment.
Since inception, we have been financed primarily by way of sales of our common stock and third party loans.
At December 31, 2014, cash was $2,957 and we had other current assets consisting of deposits of $15,196. At the same time, we had current liabilities of $2,210,205, which largely consisted of accounts payable of $400,323, accrued expenses of $924,372, related party notes of $555,250, and notes payable net of discount of $147,111, and derivative liabilities of $177,149.
At December 31, 2013, cash was $67,762 and we had a $5,000 deposit classified as a current asset. At the same time, we had current liabilities of $257,588, which consisted of accounts payable of $121,518 and accrued expenses of $136,070. We attribute our net loss from operations to having no revenues to sustain our operating costs as we are an early stage company.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,043,365 for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $867,198 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily due to increased general and administrative costs.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we used cash in investing activities of $501,690, as compared to $247,683 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was principally used for software development costs ($455,309) and for the acquisition of fixed assets ($36,185). Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 was principally used for software development costs ($204,683) and for the acquisition of fixed assets ($38,000).
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we received $1,575,000 in net cash from the sale of common stock and warrants as compared to $825,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company also received related party loans of $802,607, of which $247,357 was repaid during 2014. In addition, during 2014, the Company received $205,000 in cash for the issuance of convertible notes. The Company also received cash of $145,000 in exchange for notes payable.
General
We will only commit to capital expenditures for any future projects requiring us to raise additional capital as and when adequate capital or new lines of finance are made available to us. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any financing or enter into any form of credit arrangement. Although we may be offered such financing, the terms may not be acceptable to us. If we are not able to secure financing or it is offered on unacceptable terms, then our business plan may have to be modified or curtailed or certain aspects terminated. There is no assurance that even with financing we will be able to achieve our goals.

Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $27,734,925 as of December 31, 2014 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and/or private placement of common stock. These financials do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Stock-based Compensation
We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense, over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| • | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| • | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| • | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of December 31, 2014, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria 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, we believe that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of independent directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2014.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of independent directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
| 42 |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, that occurred during our fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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:
Assuming we are able to secure additional working capital, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. We also plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be implemented in conjunction with the growth of our business.

Board Committees
We do not have a standing audit committee, an audit committee financial expert, or any committee or person performing a similar function. We do not have any board committees including a nominating, compensation, or executive committee. We currently have no operating revenues. Presently, we have no independent directors. Management does not believe that it would be in our best interests at this time to retain independent directors to sit on an audit committee or any other committee. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations in the future, then we will likely seek out and retain independent directors and form audit, compensation, and other applicable committees. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. Our two directors perform all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees.
Board of Directors and Board Compensation
All of our three directors also serve as employees. We do not presently pay our directors for their services as such. Our directors receive compensation in their employee capacities.
Corporate Governance
Leadership Structure
Our Board has 3 members as follows: Mr. Gannon Giguiere, Mr. Alan Johnson, and Mr. Michael Rountree. We have designated Gannon Giguiere as our Chairman.

Our board members have complementary skills, enabling us to operate in a cost and time effective manner, closely managing our assets. Our Board regularly reviews this structure for optimum fit as our plans progress. We believe that our present management structure is appropriate for a company of our size and state of development.
Our board is actively involved in our risk oversight function and collectively undertakes risk oversight as part of our monthly management meetings. This review of our risk tolerances includes, but is not limited to, financial, legal and operational risks and other risks concerning our reputation and ethical standards.
Given our size, we do not have a nominating committee or a diversity policy. Our entire board monitors and assesses the need for and qualifications of additional directors. We may adopt a diversity policy in the future in connection with our anticipated growth.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| F-1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Eventure Interactive, Inc.
Costa Mesa, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eventure Interactive, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Eventure Interactive, Inc.’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 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eventure Interactive, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company does not have revenues from operations and has financial commitments in excess of current capital resources, together which 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 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 29, 2010. The Company was in the GPS tracking system business until late in 2012, when the Company redirected all of its efforts into the social media business. On February 20, 2013, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name from Live Event Media, Inc. to Eventure Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”).
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $27,734,925 as of December 31, 2014 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and/or the private placement of common stock. These financials do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
| F-7 |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per common share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Since the Company is in a loss position, it has excluded stock options and warrants from its calculation of diluted net loss per common share. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 2,583,744 stock options and 3,760,831 warrants and 2,788,688 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt that would have been included in its calculation of diluted net loss per common share if they were not anti-dilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company's bank deposits did not exceeded the insured amounts.
Software Development Costs
Costs incurred in the research and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional costs are capitalized in accordance with authoritative guidance until the product is available for general release. The Company determined its software development costs were fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2014, and the Company recorded impairment expense of $866,121.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company’s fixed assets are comprised of computer equipment and the estimated life of computer equipment is three years.
Intangible Asset - Domain Name
The Company considers the domain name an indefinite-lived intangible asset and will test for impairment on an annual basis. The Company determined that the domain name was fully impaired during the year ending December 31, 2014, and the Company recorded impairment expense of $103,750.
Revenue Recognition
We will recognize revenue when four basic criteria are met: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; performance of services has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. We will consider persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement to be the receipt of a signed contract. Collectability will be assessed based on a number of factors, including transaction history and the credit worthiness of a customer. If it is determined that collection is not reasonably assured, revenue will not be recognized until collection becomes reasonably assured. We will record cash received in advance of revenue recognition as deferred revenue.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company reviews the terms of the common stock, convertible debt and warrants it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments.
| F-8 |
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. The Company uses a Black-Scholes model for valuation of the derivative instrument.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense, over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award using the straight-line method.
Fair Value Measurements
As defined in FASB ASC Topic No. 820 – 10, fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic No. 820 – 10 requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instruments, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). The Company’s valuation models are primarily industry standard models. Level 3 instruments include derivative warrant instruments. The Company does not have sufficient corroborating evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 1 or Level 2.
As required by FASB ASC Topic No. 820 – 10, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant instruments was calculated using the black scholes model.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.
| F-9 |
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2014 through the financial statement issuance date for disclosure consideration.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 during 2014.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

6. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
LG Convertible Note
On December 15, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with LG Capital Funding, LLC (“LG”) pursuant to which LG purchased an 8% redeemable, convertible note (the “LG Note”) from the Company in the principal amount of $110,000 due December 15, 2015. The LG Note was subject to an original issue discount of $15,000 resulting in a purchase price of $95,000. The LG Note is convertible by LG, at its option, any time after 180 days from the date of issuance at a conversion price equal to 62% of the lowest closing bid price for our common stock for the twenty trading days prior to the date upon which LG provides us with a notice of conversion. The LG Note may be prepaid by us any time within 180 days from the date of issuance at a premium ranging from 115% for a prepayment within the initial 30 days to 145% for a prepayment after 150 days from the date of issuance but on or prior to 180 days from the date of issuance. The prepayment premium for the 31-60 day period is 121%, for the 61-90 day period is 127%, for the 91-120 day period is 133%, and for the 121-150 day period is 139%. The LG Note becomes immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default and subjects us to significant default penalties.
The conversion price of the $110,000 variable conversion price note is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 - 40. The fair value of the conversion feature was recognized as a derivative instrument at the issuance date and is measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Company determined that the fair value of the derivative was $113,364 at the issuance date. Debt discount was recorded up to the $110,000 purchase price of the note (of which $15,000 is an original issue discount) and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature in excess of the principal amount allocated to the notes in the aggregate amount of $18,364 was expensed immediately as unrealized loss on derivative obligation.

JMJ Convertible Note
On December 15, 2014, JMJ Financial (“JMJ”), a Nevada sole proprietorship, purchased a redeemable, convertible note (the “JMJ Note”) from us in the principal amount of $55,555 due December 15, 2016. The JMJ Note was subject to an original issue discount resulting in a purchase price of $50,000. The JMJ Note, including accrued interest due thereon, is convertible by JMJ, at its option, any time after 180 days from the date of issuance at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.16 or 60% of the average of the two lowest trading prices during the twenty trading days prior to conversion. The JMJ Note may be prepaid by us any time within 120 days from the date of issuance without payment of interest. If we do not prepay the JMJ Note within such 120 day period, a one-time interest charge of 12% will be applied to the principal amount. The JMJ Note becomes immediately due and payable upon certain events of default and subjects us to significant default penalties. JMJ may provide us with additional loans on the same terms pursuant to which JMJ would receive notes which, together with the JMJ Note, aggregate to $250,000. The JMJ Note was amended on January 16, 2015 to, among other things, remove a provision which had provided that if, at any time while the JMJ Note is outstanding, we issued securities on more favorable terms than those contained in the JMJ Note, JMJ had the option to include the more favorable terms in the JMJ Note.
The conversion price of the $55,555 variable conversion price note is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 - 40.

The KBM Note may be prepaid by us any time within 180 days from the date of issuance at a premium ranging from 115% for a prepayment within the initial 30 days to 140% for prepayment after 150 days from the date of issuance but on or prior to 180 days from the date of issuance. The prepayment premium for the 31-60 day period is 120%, for the 61-90 day period is 125%, for the 91-120 day period is 130% and for the 121-150 day period is 135%.

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Warrants
The Company has determined that certain warrants the Company has issued contain provisions that protect holders from future issuances of the Company’s common stock at prices below such warrants’ respective exercise prices and these provisions could result in modification of the warrants exercise price based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option.
The Company issued 1,800,000 warrants in connection with the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock sold for cash during June 2014. All of the warrants vested immediately. These warrants contain anti-dilution provisions that provide for a reduction in the exercise price of such warrants in the event that future common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) is issued (or becomes contractually issuable) at a price per share (a “Lower Price”) that is less than the exercise price of such warrant at the relevant time. The amount of any such adjustment is determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant warrant agreement and depends upon the number of shares of common stock issued (or deemed issued) at the Lower Price and the extent to which the Lower Price is less than the exercise price of the warrant at the relevant time. In addition, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants will be increased inversely proportional to any decrease in the exercise price, thus preserving the aggregate exercise price of the warrants both before and after any such adjustment.
The fair values of these warrants issued were recognized as derivative warrant instruments at issuance and are measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Company determined the fair values of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Activity for derivative warrant liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Sales of Common Stock for Cash
During 2013, the Company issued 825,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share for total cash proceeds of $825,000. The shares issued during 2013 pursuant to the subscription agreements contain anti-dilution protection for one year following the final closing thereunder. If the Company issues common stock at less than $1.00 per share during such one year period or if the Company issues securities during such one year period which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock with a conversion or exercise price of less than $1.00 per share, then the offering price of $1.00 gets adjusted to the lower price entitling the subscribers to additional shares. The anti-dilution clause pursuant to these subscription agreements expired in October 2014.
During 2014, the Company issued 1,275,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share for total cash proceeds of $1,275,000. The Company also issued 892,050 shares of common stock for $300,000. See Kodiak below.

Kodiak
On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“Kodiak”) in order to establish a source of funding for the Company. Under the Equity Purchase Agreement, Kodiak agreed to provide the Company with up to $3,000,000 of funding upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1. Following effectiveness of the registration statement, the Company could deliver puts to Kodiak under the Equity Purchase Agreement under which Kodiak was obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on the investment amount specified in each put notice, which investment amount may be any amount up to $3,000,000 less the investment amount received by the Company from all prior puts, if any. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that Kodiak could purchase pursuant to each put notice was determined by dividing the investment amount specified in the put by the purchase price. The purchase price per share of common stock was set at eighty (80%) of the market price of the Company’s common stock with market price being defined as the lowest daily value weighted average trading price for our common stock for any trading day during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date of the put notice to Kodiak.
On October 22, 2014, we provided a Put Notice to Kodiak for cash proceeds of $300,000 to the Company. The lowest daily value weighted average trading price for our common stock during the pricing period which ended on October 29, 2014 was $0.42 per share resulting in a purchase price of $0.34 per share. Based thereon, the number of put shares issued to Kodiak under the put was 892,050. The excess estimated put shares (1,407,950 shares) delivered to Kodiak were returned to the Company’s transfer agent but have yet to be cancelled. On November 13, 2014, we terminated the Equity Purchase Agreement with Kodiak.
Aladdin
On November 25, 2014, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with Aladdin Trading, LLC (“Aladdin”) in order to establish a source of funding for us. Under the Investment Agreement, Aladdin agreed to provide us with up to $5,000,000 of funding upon effectiveness of a registration statement. Following effectiveness of the registration statement, we can deliver puts to Aladdin under the Equity Purchase Agreement under which Aladdin will be obligated to purchase shares of our common stock based on the investment amount specified in each put notice, which investment amount may be any amount up to $5,000,000 less the investment amount received by us from all prior puts, if any. Puts may be delivered by us to Aladdin until the earlier of December 31, 2015 or the date on which Aladdin has purchased an aggregate of $5,000,000 of put shares. The number of shares of our common stock that Aladdin will purchase pursuant to each put notice (“Put Shares”) will be determined by dividing the investment amount specified in the put by the purchase price. The purchase price per share of common stock will be set at 50% of the Market Price for our common stock with Market Price being defined as the volume weighted average trading price for our common stock during the three consecutive trading days immediately following the date of our put notice to Aladdin (the “Pricing Period”). There is no minimum amount that we can put to Aladdin at any one time. On the put notice date, we are required to deliver put shares (“Estimated Put Shares”) to Aladdin in an amount determined by dividing the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the put notice date multiplied by 50% and Aladdin is required to simultaneously deliver to us the investment amount indicated on the put notice. At the end of the Pricing Period, when the purchase price is established and the number of Put Shares for a particular put is determined, Aladdin must return to us any excess Put Shares provided as Estimated Put Shares or alternatively we must deliver to Aladdin any additional Put Shares required to cover the shortfall between the amount of Estimated Put Shares and the amount of Put Shares. At the end of the pricing period we must also return to Aladdin any excess related to the investment amount previously delivered to us. Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, Aladdin and its affiliates will not be issued shares of our common stock that would result in Aladdin’s beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be registering 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance to and sale by Aladdin pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. Unless the price of our common stock increases substantially, we will not have access to the full commitment amount under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

9. INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $4,359,130 and that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2033. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31:
| 2014 | 2013 | |||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Net operating loss carry forward | $ | 1,774,275 | $ | 452,231 | ||||
| Less: valuation allowance | (1774,275 | ) | (452,321 | ) | ||||
| Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2014.

FireRock Securities Purchase Agreement
On January 6, 2015 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with FireRock Global Opportunities Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“FireRock”), pursuant to which we issued and sold to FireRock a convertible promissory note, dated January 6, 2015, in the principal amount of $137,500 (the “Initial Note”). The Initial Note was subject to an original issue discount resulting in our receipt of $125,000 in proceeds. In connection with the SPA, we also issued to FireRock 250,000 shares of our restricted common stock and a five-year warrant, dated January 6, 2015, to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The SPA and a related Registration Rights Agreement between us and FireRock, dated January 6, 2015, provide for us to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Initial Note and Second Note, as hereinafter defined, and the exercise of the warrant. The Initial Note and Second Note are hereinafter referred to collectively as the Notes. We were required to file a registration statement with respect to the shares underlying the Notes and warrant within 60 days of the January 6, 2015 issuance date and have such registration statement declared effective not more than 150 days following the issuance date. We filed the registration statement on March 6, 2015. FireRock purchased a second convertible promissory note from us in the principal amount of $137,500 (the “Second Note”) three business days following the effective date of the registration statement. The Second Note is identical, in all material respects, to the Initial Note. The Second Note is also subject to an original issue discount and resulted in our receipt of $125,000 in additional proceeds. The Notes have six-month terms and provide for payment of interest on the principal amount at maturity at the rate of 1% per annum.
The Notes, including accrued interest thereon, can be prepaid by us, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity, upon three trading days prior written notice, at a premium of 135%. The premium rate also applies to any default interest which may be due at the time of prepayment. Default interest, at the rate of 15% per annum, will become due in the event that we fail to pay principal or interest when due on the Notes. The Notes are convertible at any time after issuance at the lower of (i) $0.20 per share or (ii) 60% (50% upon an Event of Default) of the volume weighted average price for our common stock during the three consecutive trading days immediately preceding the trading day on which we receive a notice of conversion. The SPA further provides that if we complete a registered primary public offering of our securities at any time during which the Notes remain outstanding, that the Notes can be converted at the closing of such offering at a conversion price equal to a 10% discount to the offering price to investors in the offering. We are required to reserve 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to cover Note conversions and register all such shares in the registration statement. We are also required to cause our transfer agent to issue and transfer shares to the holders of the Notes within one trading day of our receipt of a conversion notice. The failure to do so constitutes an Event of Default under the Notes. Other Events of Default including, but are not limited to, our failure to pay principal and interest when due, a material breach by us of any of the terms of the FireRock transaction documents, a breach of any representation or warranty made by us in the FireRock transaction documents having a material adverse effect on the holder of the Notes, our appointment of a receiver or trustee, our becoming bankrupt, our stock becoming delisted, our failure to comply with our reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our cessation of operations, our dissolution or liquidation, our failure to maintain any of our material assets, certain restatements of our financial statements, our effectuation of a reverse stock split, and certain unvacated judgments against us involving more than $50,000. Subject to applicable cure periods, the Notes become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuation of Events of Default.
| F-22 |
The face amount of purchase price of the Initial Note is $312,500. This consists of the actual amount funded of $125,000, $12,500 in original issue discount, $125,000 to reflect the potential conversion amount penalty in the case of an uncured Event of Default and $50,000 to reflect a potential penalty in the event the registration statement is not filed within 60 days of January 6, 2015 or declared effective within 150 days of January 6, 2015. The face amount of purchase price of the Second Note will be $262,500 consisting of the $125,000 amount to be funded, $12,500 in original issue discount and $125,000 to reflect the potential conversion amount penalty in the case of an uncured Event of Default. Accordingly, the aggregate face uncured amount of the Notes will be $575,000. If we determine to prepay the Notes prior to their respective maturity dates, the 135% prepayment principal premium will be applied, in the case of each of the Notes, against the $137,500 principal amount of each of the Notes and against the accrued interest due thereon. If the holder of the Notes determines to convert the Notes prior to the respective maturity dates, the conversion will likewise be made against the $137,500 principal amount of the Notes and all accrued interest due thereon. Subject to applicable cure periods, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Notes will become immediately due and payable and we will be required to pay to the holder of the Notes, in full satisfaction of our obligation thereunder, an amount equal to (i) in the case of payments to be made in common stock, the conversion rate described above against $575,000 ($525,000 if the registration obligations have been satisfied) together with accrued interest and default interest due on the Notes through the date of payment, or (ii) in the case of payments to be made in cash, $325,000 ($275,000 if the registration obligations have been satisfied) together with accrued interest and default interest due thereon through the date of the payment multiplied by 145%. The amounts payable upon default, whether in cash or stock, will be proportionately reduced in case we make partial payments of principal or holder converts part of the Notes prior to any such default. Holder may, in its sole discretion, determine to take payment part in stock and part in cash.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan
On February 2, 2015, our board of directors approved our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Our shareholders have yet to approve the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and unless they do so prior to February 2, 2016, we will not be able to issue incentive stock options under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. A total of 11,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan. If an incentive award granted under the 2015 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2015 Plan. Shares issued under the 2015 Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of acquiring another entity are not expected to reduce the maximum number of shares available under the 2015 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2015 Plan and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

The compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2015 Plan and grants made thereunder. Subject to the terms of the 2015 Plan, the compensation committee has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2015 Plan. Any officer or other employee of the Company or its affiliates, or an individual that the Company or an affiliate has engaged to become an officer or employee, or a consultant or advisor who provides services to the Company or its affiliates, including a non-employee director of the Board, is eligible to receive awards under the 2015 Plan.
Our Board of Directors or if then in place, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, may amend, suspend or terminate the 2015 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards. Unless sooner terminated, the 2015 Plan terminates ten years after the date on which it was adopted.
