Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Organization

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

On December 10, 2013, the Company signed an Equity Purchase Agreement with Marcus Winkler to sell to him eighty (80%) percent of the equity of Kwick. The sale was approved on December 18, 2013. Due to the fact that the parent company ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Kwick, the subsidiary was deconsolidated from that date forward.

 

Interim Financial Information

The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2014 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The other information in these condensed financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and additional information as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

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

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $1,000 and $ 1,100 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and $677 and $0 for the same periods in 2014, respectively.

 

Evaluation of Long Lived Assets

 

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

 

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

 

a. Internal-use computer software is not expected to provide substantive service potential.

b. A significant change occurs in the extent or manner in which the software is used or is expected to be used.

c. A significant change is made or will be made to the software program.

d. Costs of developing or modifying internal-use computer software significantly exceed the amount originally expected to develop or modify the software. 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASC 820, a framework was established for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company accounted for certain convertible debentures issued in the year ended December 31, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 as derivative liabilities required to be bifurcated from the host contract in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares (see Note 13).

Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Securities Issued for Services

 

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

 

Reclassification of certain securities under ASC 815-15

 

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

 

Capitalization of Software /Website development costs

 

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

 

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

 

Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.

 

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset. .

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Such common stock equivalents totaled 88,503,240 common shares at June 30, 2015, comprised of 10,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock purchase warrants, 4,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 729,537 shares exercisable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares, and 72,773,703 shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible debt. Such debt and the related accrued interest with principal totaling $11,738,700 convertible at the option of four debt holders at a price of 50% of the average closing price for the preceding 10 days, would yield in excess of 14.8 billion shares if fully converted at June 30, 2015. However, the respective notes, all of which were issued to these investors, carry a stipulation whereby the number of all shares issued pursuant to a conversion, may in the aggregate not exceed a number that would increase the total share holdings beneficially owned by such investor to a level above 9.99%. At the end of the period, this clause limits any conversion to the aforementioned number of shares. All of the aforementioned conversions or exercises, as the case may be, are at the option of the holders.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Our revenues during the foreseeable future are insufficient to finance our business and we are entirely dependent on the willingness of existing investors to continue supporting the Company with working capital loans and equity investments, and our ability to find new investors should the financial support from existing investors prove to be insufficient. If we were unable to obtain a steady flow of new debt or equity-based working capital we would be forced to cease operations. In their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, our auditors had expressed an opinion that, as a result of the above, there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.

 

3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

 

The Company maintains cash balances in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Balances in these accounts may, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, cash balances in bank accounts did not exceed this limit. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. and overseas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

 

  

4. PREPAID EXPENSES

 

Prepaid expenses consist of the following at:

		June 30, 2015				December 31, 2014
Consulting Fees		$	110,000			$	220,000

Total		$	0			$	0

7. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY

 

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

Kreuzfeld Ltd., a major creditor of the company, which holds a Class AA convertible promissory note with an outstanding balance (including accrued interest) of $4,979,462 as of June 30, 2015.

 

Due to the significant reduction in the Company’s percentage of controlling interest in Kwick (down to 20%), coupled with the contract restrictions over voting rights and management of the operations of Kwick subsequent to December 18, 2013, the Company recognized the deconsolidation of Kwick as of that date, resulting in a loss on deconsolidation of $253,557, and now carries the investment in Kwick under the cost method of accounting. Due to the significant reductions in fair value of this reporting unit that were considered other than temporary, and impairment of the related goodwill, the carrying value of this cost method investment was zero at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015.

On July 27, 2010, the Company issued two Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes (“Class A Notes”), one to Cambridge Services, Inc., in the principal amount of $683,996, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since June 26, 2009, and one to Discover Advisory Company, in the principal amount of $1,160,984, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since September 19, 2008 and including advances through September 30, 2010. Each of these promissory notes are due on demand, accrue interest at the rate of 10%, per annum, are convertible (including accrued interest) at the option of each lender into Common Stock of the Company at 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001 (the "Conversion Price"). Both promissory notes contain conversion caps, limiting conversions under these notes to a maximum beneficial ownership position of Company common stock to 9.99% for each lender. Each of these notes contains Company covenants, requiring the lenders’ prior written consent in order for the Company to merge, issue any common or preferred stock or any convertible debt instruments, declare a stock split or dividends, increase any compensation to its officers or directors by more than five (5%) during any calendar year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 no debt was converted.

 

The Company renegotiated certain outstanding promissory notes with its four major creditors, Discover Advisory Company of the Bahamas (“DAC”), Kreuzfeld Ltd. of Switzerland (“Kreuzfeld”), Cambridge Services, Inc. of Panama (“CSI”) and Vermoegensverwaltungs-Gesellschaft Zurich LTD of Switzerland (“VGZ”). As of August 1, 2012, the Company authorized the issue of a new series of corporate notes, the Class AA Senior Secured Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes, dated as of August 1, 2012 (the New Note(s)”) and issued New Notes: (1) to DAC, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated July 27, 2010, in the original principal amount of $1,080,984, now cancelled, which had an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $4,764,109 as of December 31, 2014 and $5,402,385 at June 30, 2015; (2) to Kreuzfeld, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated

September 16, 2011, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, which had an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $4,696,785 at December 31, 2014 and $4,979,462 at June 30, 2015; (3) to CSI, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated August 1, 2011, in the original principal amount of $1,303,996, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $3,807,184 as of December 31, 2014, and $3,884,065 at June 30, 2015 and; (4) to VGZ, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated September 30, 2010, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $1,032,355 as of December 31, 2014 and $1,070,635 at June 30,2015. All of the New Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10%, are convertible into common shares at the conversion rate equal to 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001, and are due on demand.. Pursuant to an Equity and Stock Pledge Agreement, also negotiated and executed as of August 1, 2012, the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness of the New Notes is secured by all of the limited partnership interests of the Company’s partly-owned (now deconsolidated) German subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG, a private German limited partnership (“KG”), and all of its shares of the sole general partner of KG, KWICK! Community Beteiligungs GmbH.

 

The Company accounted for the conversion features underlying these convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contract in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares. The Company determined the value of the derivate conversion features of new debentures issued to these holders plus accrued interest during the six months ended June 30, 2015 under these terms at the relevant commitment dates to be $1,151,137 utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model. The change in fair value of the liability for the conversion feature resulted in expense of $151,110 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which is included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying financial statements. The fair value of these derivative conversion features was determined to be $15,482,454 at June 30, 2015.

16. FAIR VALUE

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

	Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange - trade securities and exchange-based derivatives
	Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-echange-based, derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
	Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled.

16. FAIR VALUE (continued)

 

investment funds and are measured using present value pricing models. The company values the conversion liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and the assumptions are updated using independent data such as the risk free rate, volatility and expected life for each valuation date based on changes over time.

 

The following table reconciles, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements:

Balance of Emb                   Conversion Liability at January 1, 2015		$	14,482,427
Present V                             Value of beneficial conversion features of new debentures			1,151,137
Present V                             Change in value of beneficial conversion features during period			(151,110	)
Reductions in fair value due to principal conversions			—
Conversion Liability at June 30, 2015		$	15,482,454

 

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

 

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

During July 2015 and through August 4, 2015, 2015 we received $120,000 of working capital from accredited investors, which are covered by convertible promissory notes.

Description of Business

 

Overview

 

On December 31, 2009 Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. changed its name to Kiwibox.Com, Inc.

 

We own and operate “Kiwibox.com”, a social networking website. Initially launched in 1999, Kiwibox.com is an online social networking community. Kiwibox has a regional-based advertising-system that allows target-group-optimized ads for advertisers and sponsors.

 

Kiwibox Operations

 

Kiwibox.com is a social network for young adults all around the world for web based - and mobile usage, a community to find new friends and to meet new people online and in the real world. Kiwibox continues to follow the mobile trend by updating its mobile applications to keep members engaged across its multiple platforms. Unlike traditional social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, Kiwibox combines "magazine" content and social networking technology in its website, creating attractive topics for its membership to peruse and enjoy. Kiwibox provides advertisers with a superior, worry-free advertising platform with Profile targeted technology to reach Web browser based and mobile Apps Customers.

 

The Company has successfully integrated Pixunity, a photo-sharing application, to the US market and will continue to add enhancement features throughout the year. At the same time we continue to increase our market presence. Our promotional teams, both inside and outside of New York City, continue to develop partnerships with event organizers and businesses along the West Coast of the United States and plan further expansion of these types of market alliances throughout 2015.

 

Our operating expenses, not including stock-based compensation, are at a level of approximately $110,000 per month (see sections “Loans and Notes Payable”).

 

Kiwibox shall continue to rely upon its advertising agreement with Triple Double U (”TDU”), an exclusive German online advertising agency, which agreements have been negotiated by our former subsidiary, Germany-based Kwick, for the Kiwibox network for web and mobile advertisements

 

Overall, we have equipped our entire Kiwibox.com website with the newest state-of-the-art advertising features which enable sponsors to self-direct their message to specific target audiences based on gender, age, geographic region, education, and interests. Included in this array of features is our “search and be found” function, incorporating Search-Engine optimization with privacy options that improves search results.  We have continued in the second quarter of 2015 to facilitate friends’ searches and establish networks of users on a global basis.

 

Potential Revenue Streams and Marketing Strategy

 

Currently we generate the majority of our revenue from advertising/sponsorships. We anticipate revenue growth from increased membership activity and our revitalized website as we continue to implement new marketing strategies. Our software and networking technologies that we incorporated during the last 2 years now permit our mobile devices to accept and receive direct advertising. Our social networks permit us to work with potential advertisers to identify the right member groups for direct target advertising, a marketing channel that is readily accessible to our social media community.

 

Our continuing membership growth is fueled by infiltrating our users into local event venues where they participate and simultaneously communicate with our social network via the regular deployment of our cutting-edge App updates. As a result, the Kiwibox network enjoys continuing user sign-ups and continuing loyalty of users to our social network. Due to our long-time experience with our German affiliate, the KWICK! Community (“Kwick”), we were able to fulfill the front-end and back-end needs for this remarkable growth.

 

Community means social network – and thrives on membership networking. Our new website is based on the latest web technology which makes it easier for users to stay connected and to interact with each other. Most importantly, our website features permit our community members to stay informed in “real” time about events and parties in areas we are targeting through our promotional teams.

 

The results of our marketing efforts clearly show the following positive trends in the growth of our community at June 30, 2015:

 

•                     Active Members – Our Kiwibox.com website has 4.49 Million Active Members as of June 30, 2015, an increase of approximately 8 % over the first quarter,2015. Active users are those which have logged in to Kiwibox.com during the last 30 days.

 

•                     New Registrations – We had 641,125 new registrations in the 2nd quarter ended June 30, 2015, an increase of approximately 1% over the first quarter 2015, an increase of approximately 41% more than in the same quarter of 2014. New registrations represent a participant’s initial registration on our Kiwibox.com website as a new member.

 

•                     Unique Visitors- – For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we had 5.0 Million Unique Visitors to our Kiwibox.com website, an increase of approximately 11% over first quarter 2015 results.

Market Position

The Kiwibox Network is in a unique position because it combines the excitement of a dating community with the benefits and accessibility of a real social network. The Kiwibox Network encourages members to explore local events in their area, connect with other members and enjoy the additional member exclusive benefits the social network is offering, such as games, blogging, chatting, picture-sharing and online-flirting. This community behavior binds users to the platform and is the base for our viral marketing.

Safety

 

Kiwibox.com has developed an effective monitoring model which assists in maintaining a safe site for our member base, combining both technology based systems and user moderation. Users communicate and share information in an environment where they feel both secure and at ease. Members of the Kiwibox team monitor forums and groups daily to ensure the content is appropriate.

 

In addition to our monitoring system, the Kiwibox.com platform is equipped with advanced technology safety features. This includes the private sphere configuration of users, contact blocs for larger age differentials, anti-spam protection and intelligent self-learning user-scoring feature. In addition to this, Kiwibox.com has implemented state of the art security features such as former Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo’s hash value database in order to block images of illegal sexual content.. With the combination of human moderation and advanced technology, users are afforded a safe and secure site.

 

Competition

 

Our primary competitors are other online social networks, including Facebook, Instagram, Tinder and Tumbler. Facebook is widely considered as the industry leaders, however, recently statistics and strategic announcements have indicated a shift in the target audience from teens and college students to a much broader and more adult demographic, because of their international focus. We plan to distinguish ourselves by targeting the US-market and by combining the social-network advantages with user generated content – from users to users, while stressing the community feeling. As these other social networks have made changes to their websites we have been able to capitalize on the disenfranchised users and bring them into our online community.

 

Technology Development

The Company attaches great importance to its innovative technology developments and continues to follow the top social network market leaders with technology upgrades, providing its users with an alternative social networking opportunity.

The Kiwibox Network is focusing on the fast growing mobile usage phenomenon, being online with friend’s every time and everywhere. The Kiwibox Network released multiple updates in the 4^th quarter of 2014 for its iOS and Android Applications. At present, more than 700,000 company Apps are installed in our social media marketplace. Our entire Event page was redesigned during the last quarter of 2014, targeted to generate income based on direct advertisement sales with partners and not through the Banner Ads market. In 2015, Kiwibox plans to optimize the Ads-Sales by organizing a department dedicated to target group based editorial and exclusive Ads-Sales. The Kiwibox Group expects to release Kiwibox 4.0 during the third quarter 2015.

Intellectual Property

 

The Kiwibox.com web and mobile software and other related intellectual property rights are important assets. We hold the Internet domain names Kiwibox.com, Kiwibox.net, Kiwibox.org, as well as other country-code top level domains and feature-based domains like 4kiwi.com.

 

Governmental Regulations

 

Our Kiwibox website operations are subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations that cover on-line business, privacy policies, consumer protection and product marketing. The Kiwibox website business is subject to state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations applicable to online commerce, including user privacy policies, product pricing policies, website content and general consumer protection laws.  Various laws, rules and regulations have been adopted, and probably will be adopted in the future, that apply to the Internet, including available online content, privacy concerns, online marketing, “spam” and unsolicited commercial email, taxation issues, and regulations that effect and monitor the quality of products and services.  

 

A portion of these laws, rules and regulations that concern the Internet and its uses have been only recently adopted. Courts and administrative agencies have not yet fully interpreted these legal requirements as to their application and scope. Accordingly, our Kiwibox website business is subject to the uncertainties of future interpretations and application of these legal requirements. The application and interpretation of these legal requirements or the passage of new and/or revised laws, rules and regulations could reduce the demand for Kiwibox website services, increase its operational costs, and expose it to potential liability. Any such events could have a material adverse effect upon our Kiwibox website business and financial condition. Our failure, or that of our business partners, to accurately predict and anticipate the interpretation or application of these laws, rules and regulations, whether now in force or adopted in the future, could have a detrimental impact on our operations, create negative publicity for us and expose us to potential liability.

 

State and federal agencies are applying consumer protection laws to regulate the on-line use, collection and dissemination of personal information and website content. These laws require us to implement programs to notify our website users of our privacy and security programs. Consumer protection laws will require us to obtain the consent of our website users if we want to collect and use certain portions of their personal information. We are currently voluntarily working in partnership with the New York State Attorney General’s office and have incorporated hash value technology into our website.

 

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) is the lead federal agency monitoring Internet websites and their content. State attorneys general have become active monitors of the Internet at the local State level. These governmental bodies may investigate or bring enforcement actions against website operators they deem in violation of applicable consumer protection laws. We believe that our Kiwibox website’s collection and dissemination of information programs, including our privacy policies, do and will continue to comply with existing laws. However, a decision by a federal or state agency that any of our Kiwibox website’s business practices do not meet applicable legal standards could result in liability and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

 

Employees

After accounting for dividends accrued on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $25,632, the net loss applicable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,170,523 or $0.003 per share compared to a net income applicable to common shareholders of $2,593,871 or $0.004 per share for the same period in 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our business with new debt since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We received $545,000 in cash from short-term loans from accredited private investors during the quarter.

 

We have an ongoing and urgent need for working capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to continue to receive new equity investments or obtain loans, we will not be able to fund our operations and we will be required to close our business.

 

Our deficit in working capital amounted to $32,772,389 at June 30, 2015, as compared to $30,608,081 at December 31, 2014. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $32,755,830 at the end of the period, compared to an impairment of $30,585,307 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations during the six months totaled $484,972 and was financed by new debt.

 

The Company had $0 of bank debt as of June 30, 2015. Aside from trade payables and accruals, our remaining indebtedness at June 30, 2015 consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating $12,178,699, liabilities for derivative conversion features of $15,482,454 amounts due to related parties of $63,293, and the following obligations. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $284,488 accounts for common shares due under consulting agreements, and for services to be settled in common stock options and warrants, where the underlying securities had not yet been issued. Current liabilities also include $761,287 accrued unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.

 

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

 

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

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the fiscal period ended June 30, 2015 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

 

As of June 30, 2015, management assessed, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as more fully described below.  Based on management’s assessment over financial reporting, management believes as of June 30, 2015, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following deficiencies:

 

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

 

2. The Company had only a part time chief financial officer performing all accounting related duties on site, presenting the risk that the reporting of these non routine and complex transactions during the preparation of our future financial statements and disclosures may not be accomplished in a timely manner. Additionally in September 2012 the Company hired a comptroller to assist the Chief Financial Officer. Effective May 31, 2015 the chief financial officer resigned and the CEO Andre Scholz took over the position as chief financial officer while comptroller that was assisting the previous part time chief financial officer assumed the day to day transactional activity.

 

Company management believes that notwithstanding the above identified deficiencies that constitute our material weakness, that the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Other than as stated above, during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
