Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Description of Business

 

NET TALK.COM, INC. (“netTALK” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 1, 2006 under the laws of the State of Florida, under the name Discover Screens Inc. On September 10, 2008 the Company changed its name to NET TALK.COM INC. The company provides ultra-low cost home phone and smartphone communications. netTALK’s global communications network supports its flagship products which are the DUO home phone service and CONNECT mobile apps. The DUO home phone service provides local and long distance calling throughout the United States and Canada and the complementary CONNECT mobile apps provide a unified communications experience whether at home or on-the-go. The company provides this high tech, easy to use and ultra-low cost service with just one bill once a year. Additionally, the company leverages its extensive call termination agreements to offer wholesale call terminations to other carriers – powered by its carrier grade and proprietary VoIP switching platform. The company believes everyone should have access to easy to use, affordable at home or on-the-go digital phone service around the world.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, the unaudited condensed interim financial information includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future fiscal quarters of 2015, for the year ending December 31, 2015, or for future periods. The significant accounting principles used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are the same as those used in the preparation of the annual audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and other Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Note 2 - Going Concern and Liquidity

 

We have never sustained profits and our losses could continue. Without sufficient additional capital to repay our indebtedness as it matures, we may be required to significantly scale back our operations, significantly reduce our headcount, seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and or discontinue many of our activities which could negatively affect our business and prospects. Our current efforts to raise capital may not be successful on terms satisfactory to the Company, or at all.

 

We incurred net losses of $1,020,967 and $1,576,630 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to losses of 379,960 and 991,011 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, we had $7,434,822 in debt, after deducting applicable discount, of which $7,220,130 is current which includes $1,400,000 in a short term mortgage payable. The Company raised approximately $25,000 in a convertible promissory note in 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had negative working capital of $13,133,581.

 

Our current cash resources, together with anticipated future cash flows from operating activities, may not be sufficient to fund our operations or debt that is maturing in 2015 or that is due on demand. In light of these circumstances, we are seeking additional capital through public or private debt or equity financing. However, there are no assurances that those efforts will be successful or that additional capital will be available on terms that do not adversely affect our existing stockholders or restrict our operations, if it is available at all.

 

6 
 

 

Also, any equity financing would likely be substantially dilutive to our stockholders, particularly in light of the prices at which our common stock has been recently trading. In addition, if we raise additional funds through the sale of equity securities, new investors could have rights senior to our existing stockholders. The terms of any future financings may restrict our ability to raise additional capital, which could delay or prevent the further development or marketing of our products and services. Our need to raise capital before the repayment of our debt becomes due may require us to accept terms that may harm our business or be disadvantageous to our current stockholders.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant recurring losses from operations and is dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of its operations. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated April 15, 2015, in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2014, that included an emphasis of a matter paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management has been reviewing various strategic alternatives and has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, which we hope will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern, including the following:

 

·Establish and build strategic alliances and partnerships with companies offering complimentary products and services providing synergies for those involved.

 

·Leverage our extensive call termination agreements to offer wholesale call terminations to other carriers powered by our carrier grade propriety VoIP switching platform.

 

·Rental of available collocations space in our data center as well as available space on our telecommunications tower.

 

·Aggressively pursue new revenue by utilizing our mobile applications for use by our current and future subscriber base.

 

There can be no assurance that the actions outlined above will be successful or any new financing or equity infusion will be available or that we could obtain any such arrangements on terms suitable to us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

 

Note 3 - Summary of Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the Company’s financial statements and recent accounting pronouncements that may impact our financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include developing fair value measurements upon which to base our accounting for acquisitions of intangible assets and issuances of financial instruments, including our common stock. Our estimates also include developing useful lives for our tangible and intangible assets and cash flow projections upon which we determine the existence of, or the measurements for, impairments, allowance for billing adjustments, doubtful accounts and allocation of prices between device and telecom services.

 

Our estimates and assumptions are based on experience, historical trends identified by management, telecommunications industry trends and the overall economic condition in the United States and abroad. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.

 

Risk and Uncertainties

 

Our future results of operations and financial condition will be affected by many factors including the following: dependence on the worldwide telecommunication markets characterized by intense competition and rapidly changing technology, on third-party manufacturers and subcontractors, on third-party distributors in certain markets and on the successful development and marketing of new products in new and existing markets. Generally, we are unable to predict the future status of these areas of risk and uncertainty.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is generated from product sales, telecom services, mobile app sales, shipping and handling charges and leasing cell tower and co-location rack space in our operations center. All revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition and SAB 104 as follows: when evidence of an arrangement exists, in the case of products, when the product is shipped to a customer, or in the case of telecom services, when the service is used by the consumer, when the fee is fixed or determinable and amounts are collectible from the customers.

 

Revenue is recognized for a device sale when the product is shipped and the customer is invoiced for retail sales and when the customer completes the transaction for internet sales. Revenue for telecom service is recognized prorata monthly as the service is used. Revenue for shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

The initial sale of our device includes telecom service ranging from 1 month to 12 months. The revenue that is telecom is recognized ratably monthly as the service is used. The portion of the telecom service prepaid is recorded as deferred revenue. Subsequent renewals for telephone service are amortized over the corresponding number of months in the call plan.

 

International calls are billed as earned from our customers.  International calls are prepaid and customers account is debited as minutes are used and earned.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid cash balances and debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash balances only in domestic bank accounts, which at times, may exceed FDIC limits of $250,000. Our cash balances occasionally exceed the FDIC limits during the year but did not exceed the FDIC limit at June 30, 2015.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method. Obsolete inventory is reserved for, if necessary, and there is zero reserve at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment includes assets acquired which consist of network equipment, computer hardware, furniture and purchased and internally developed software. All of our equipment is stated at cost with depreciation expense calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets, which range from three to thirty-five years.  The costs of repairs and maintenance is charged to operating expenses unless it increases the assets useful life more than one year.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets includes trademarks, patents and employee agreements. All of our intangible assets are stated at cost with amortization expense calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets, which range from two to twenty years.  The costs of repairs and maintenance is charged to operating expenses unless it increases the asset’s useful life more than one year.

 

Impairments and Disposals

 

We evaluate our tangible and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently in the presence of circumstances or trends that may be indicators of impairment. Our evaluation is a two-step process. The first step is to compare our undiscounted cash flows, as projected over the remaining useful lives of the assets, to their respective carrying values. In the event that the carrying values are not recovered by future undiscounted cash flows, as a second step, we compare the carrying values to the related fair values and, if lower, record an impairment adjustment. For purposes of fair value, we generally use replacement costs for tangible fixed assets and discounted cash flows, using risk-adjusted discount rates for intangible assets.

Software Development Costs

 

The Company develops software for both internal and external use. The following describes netTALK’s policies and procedures regarding expensing versus capitalizing software development costs.

 

We capitalize costs of software to be sold, leased or marketed in accordance with FASB ASC 985-20. We account for our software development costs as costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product and are charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design or completion of a working model. Capitalization of costs stops when the product is available for general release to customers at which point the capitalized costs are amortized over the software’s useful life.

 

We capitalize costs for internally developed software in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40. Costs incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. Preliminary project stage includes conceptual formulations and evaluation of alternatives, determination of existence of needed technology and final selection of alternatives. Costs incurred in the application development stage are capitalized as incurred and includes design of chosen path, configuration, coding, installation of hardware, and testing. Capitalization of costs stops after software implementation at which point the capitalized costs are amortized over the software’s useful life.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had development costs of $265,583 and $377,172, respectively.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements in order to conform to the current year’s presentation.  

 

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

 

NetTalk adopted a 2010 Stock Option Plan, a 2011 Stock Option Plan, a 2012 Stock Option Plan and a 2015 Stock Option Plan (the "Plans") which are intended to advance the interests of the Company’s shareholders by enhancing the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key individuals by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives, thereby better aligning the interests of our employees and consultants with those of the Company. All of the Company’s employees, officers, and directors, and those Company’s consultants and advisors (i) that are natural persons and (ii) who provide bona fide services to the Company not connected to a capital raising transaction or the promotion or creation of a market for the Company’s securities, are eligible to be granted options or restricted stock awards under the Plans. The shares are compensatory in nature and are fully vested upon issuance. We value the shares consistent with fair value at the time of issuance including adjustments for certain restrictions and limitations.

 

Share–based compensation cost to employees is recorded as compensation expense and is recognized over the service period.  Share–based payments to non–employees are recorded as consulting expense and is recognized over the service period.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

9 
 

 

Financial instruments, as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification 825, Financial Instruments, consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, secured convertible debentures, and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local lending institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics.

 

We carry cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at historical costs since their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values due to their current nature. We also carry convertible debentures and redeemable preferred stock at historical cost.

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 815-10-15-83, Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

 

Certain risks and concentration

 

Our primary manufacturer accounted for approximately 13% and 23% of our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our primary telecom service provider for the six months ended June 30, 2015 accounted for approximately 22% of cost of goods sold. Our primary telecom service provider for the six months ended June 30, 2014 accounted for approximately 27% of cost of goods sold.

 

One of our customers presently operates under a consignment agreement. Under the agreement we sell and ship merchandise to our customer, and collect payments upon the sale of our product to the ultimate (final) consumer.

 

Redeemable Preferred Stock

 

Redeemable preferred stock is initially evaluated for possible classification as liabilities under Accounting Standard Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Redeemable preferred stock that does not, in its entirety, require liability classification is evaluated for embedded features that may require bifurcation and separate classification as derivative liabilities under Accounting Standards Codification 815. In all instances, the classification of the redeemable preferred stock host contract that does not require liability classification is evaluated for equity classification or mezzanine classification based upon the nature of the redemption features. Generally, any feature that could require cash redemption for matters not within our control, irrespective of probability of the event occurring, requires classification outside of stockholders’ equity.

  

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share represents our loss applicable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. We compute the effects on diluted loss per common share arising from warrants and options using the treasury stock method or, in the case of liability classified warrants, the reverse treasury stock method. We compute the effects on diluted loss per common share arising from convertible securities using the if-converted method. The effects are all anti-dilutive and are excluded.

 

Patent Costs

 

Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained as a result of past transactions or events. Legal fees and other costs incurred for successfully defending a patent from infringement are considered deferred legal costs in the sense that they are part of the cost of retaining and obtaining the future economic benefit of the patent as per Statement of Accounting Concept No. 6. If defense of the patent lawsuit is expected to be successful, costs may be capitalized to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patent per TIS Section 2260.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued standard ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers that provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2017, and are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statements.

Note 8 – Debt Restructuring, Promissory Notes and Mortgage Payable

 

Debt Restructuring

 

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company executed a redemption and debt restructuring agreement with Vicis Capital Master Fund ("Vicis") to, among other things, extend the term of our loans to September 30, 2014 with two additional one year extensions if accrued interest is paid in full, and reduce the overall loan with Vicis from approximately $17,000,000 to $3,000,000. The restated loan accrues interest at six percent (6%) per annum. In addition, pursuant to the redemption and restructuring agreement, all shares and derivative securities held by Vicis including the series A convertible redeemable preferred stock, 19,995,092 shares of the Company’s common stock, and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 76,864,250 shares of common stock have been returned to the Company and cancelled. The holders received no additional consideration to effect the modification.

 

The approximately $14,000,000 extinguishment of debt was recorded as an equity transaction and the cancelled securities have been reflected as a reduction of the related shares of preferred and common stock and other securities as of December 31, 2013. The result was a decrease to common stock of $19,995 and an increase to additional paid-in capital of $14,098,847 from the extinguishment of debt, $5,000,000 from the write-off of preferred stock and $1,601,116 from the write-off of preferred stock dividends.

 

Phoenix Vitae Holdings, LLC (“PV”), which is owned by the CEO of the Company, purchased the 6%, $3,000,000 secured promissory note from Vicis Capital Master Fund on July 7, 2014. PV extended the interest payment date for the initial interest payment from June 30, 2014 to September 1, 2014.  On September 1, 2014, a note amendment agreement was entered into whereby, the note is due on demand and the interest rate and terms are as follows: Interest on the principal amount (or any balance thereof) outstanding from time to time under the note will begin to accrue on September 1, 2014 at a fixed rate per year equal to six percent (6.00%); provided, however, interest will accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to nine percent (9.00%) during the period from July 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014; and provided further, that interest shall accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to twelve percent (12.0%); from and after September 1, 2014 until the note is paid in full.

Note 12 - Related Party Transactions

 

Iristel, Inc. (“Iristel”), a vendor that previously provided a significant portion of netTALK’s telecom service in 2013 and 2014, is owned by Samer Bishay, who was President and was a member of the board of directors of netTalk.com, Inc. until removed from the board of directors by a majority of the Company’s shareholders on November 26, 2014. Mr. Bishay also owns and or controls Telestrata, LLC (“Telestrata”), a debt and equity holder of netTalk.com, Inc., a significant portion of which debt and equity was issued in full settlement of amounts due to Iristel.

 

On October 10, 2014, Mr. Bishay caused Iristel to terminate all its contracts with netTalk.com, Inc. On October 17, 2014, Mr. Bishay, purporting to act as President of netTalk.com, Inc., attempted to cause netTalk.com, Inc. to reinstate one of its contracts with Iristel, which he had previously caused Iristel to terminate. The Company continues to deny that the reinstatement was effective.

 

16 
 

 

On or about October 24, 2014, Mr. Bishay, despite being obviously conflicted, despite acting without authorization and against the wishes of the board of directors, and despite the absence of the Company seal, filed an unauthorized mortgage on certain real property of the Company, in favor of Telestrata, which he owns and or controls. The Company is continuing to dispute that mortgage.

 

On November 5, 2014, Telestrata filed an action against the company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida titled: Telestrata, LLC v. netTalk.com., Inc. et al., 1:14-cv-24137. See footnote 14 for further discussion.

 

As a continuation of these ongoing attempts to tortiously damage the Company and its shareholders, Mr. Bishay, through Iristel and Telestrata, is attempting to overstate, or completely misstate, the amounts owed by the Company. The Company has accrued and recorded the amounts it believes are owed to Iristel. The Company completely denies the validity of any such claims, and intends to vigorously pursue Iristel, Telestrata and Mr. Bishay for the damage any such misstatements may cause.

 

The Chief Operating Officer is related to the CEO and was promoted to COO January 1, 2014 by the Board of Directors.

The Company answered the complaint, denying all of its material allegations, asserting a number of affirmative defenses, and seeking counterclaims for declaratory relief. The Company’s patent counsel has provided an opinion that the NetTalk DUO does not infringe their patent. MagicJack Vocaltec Ltd. and NetTalk filed a Joint Stipulation and motion for the dismissal. Effective November 2012, the federal court has dismissed the entire case with prejudice, including all claims, counterclaims, defenses and causes of action.

The Complaint also asserts derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty against current management and seeks a declaratory judgment that holding the employment agreements between the Company and Anastasios Kyriakides, Kenneth Hosfeld, Nick Kyriakides, Steven Healy, and Garry Paxinos are void.

 

19 
 

 

The Complaint makes direct claims against the Company and its management for: (1) a declaratory judgment stating the amount of shares owned by current management is inaccurate; (2) an accounting; (3) breach of contract for an unspecified amount of damages; (4) fraudulent inducement for an unspecified amount of damages (5) an equitable lien; and conspiracy. The Company will respond to the Complaint as required by the Court. The Company denies all such claims and intends to vigorously defend this action. On May 26, 2015, the Company served and filed its Answer in which the Company (and the individual Defendants) denied the material allegations of the Complaint. In the Answer, the Company also asserts counterclaims against Plaintiff, as well as Samer Bishay, Maged Bishara and Nadir Aljasrawa, inter alia, to remove a cloud on title to real property owned by the Company and for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and intentional interference with contracts.

 

On July 7, 2015, Plaintiff moved for a temporary restraining order and, thereafter, moved for a preliminary injunction to enjoin, among other things, the Company: (a) from increasing its authorized shares of stock from 300,000,000 to 1,000,000; (b) to enjoin Defendants from exercising any rights with respect to 114,000,000 shares authorized to be issued in May 2015; (c) from issuing any shares under the Company’s 2015 Stock Option Plan, and (d) to enjoin Defendants from taking any action related to the issuance, sale or purchase of the Company’s stock. The Court held an evidentiary hearing on the motion for a preliminary injunction on August 3, 4 and 5, 2015. The motion is now fully briefed and pending before the Court.

 

This action is currently in the discovery phase. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against it in the Complaint and further intends to vigorously prosecute its counterclaims.

 

On or about December 24, 2014, the Company filed an action against Telestrata, LLC seeking to quiet title on its property and for slander of title based on Telestrata placing a mortgage on the property without the Company’s authorization. Telestrata has filed a motion to consolidate this action with the Telestrata Derivative Litigation. This motion is fully briefed and the Company is awaiting the Court’s decision on this issue.

 

On January 14, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the derivative claims based on Telestrata not filing a demand on the board of directors and its derivative and direct claims being in conflict with each other. This action has been consolidated with the action brought by Telestrata.

 

We are aggressively defending all of the lawsuits and claims described above. While we do not believe these aforementioned claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, given the uncertainty and unpredictability of litigation there can be no assurance of no material adverse effect. The Company is engaged in other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are believed to be material to the Company.

 

Item 2 – Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, in addition to unaudited historical information, forward-looking statements, which involve risk and uncertainties. The words “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “plan,” or “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this report. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to (and we expressly disclaim any obligation to) revise or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, or otherwise (except as may be required by law), in order to reflect any event or circumstance which may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Cautionary Statement about Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written material and oral statements made from time to time by us do not relate to historical or current facts.  As such, they are referred to as “forward-looking statements,” which are intended to convey our expectations or predictions regarding the occurrence of possible future events or the existence of trends and factors that may impact our future plans and operating results. These forward-looking statements are derived, in part, from various assumptions and analyses we have made in the context of our current business plan and information currently available to us and in light of our experience and perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors we believe to be appropriate in the circumstances. You can generally identify forward-looking statements through words and phrases such as “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “budget,” “project,” “may be,” “may continue,” “may likely result,” and similar expressions. When reading any forward looking statement, you should remain mindful that actual results or developments may vary substantially from those expected as expressed in or implied by that statement for a number of reasons or factors, such as those relating to:

 

our ability to develop sales and marketing capabilities;

 

the accuracy of our estimates and projections;

 

20 
 

 

our ability to fund our short-term and long-term financing needs;

 

changes in our business plan and corporate strategies; and other risks and uncertainties discussed in greater detail in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Each forward-looking statement should be read with an understanding and in context with the various other disclosures concerning the Company and the business made elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as other public reports filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of actual results or developments. We are not obligated to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this report to reflect new events or circumstances unless and to the extent required by applicable law.

 

Going Concern and Liquidity

 

We have never sustained profits and our losses could continue. Without sufficient additional capital to repay our indebtedness as it matures, we may be required to significantly scale back our operations, significantly reduce our headcount, seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and or discontinue many of our activities which could negatively affect our business and prospects. Our current efforts to raise capital may not be successful on terms satisfactory to the Company, or at all.

 

We incurred net losses of $1,020,967 and $1,576,630 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to losses of 379,960 and 991,011 three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, we had $7,434,822 in debt, after deducting applicable discount, of which $7,220,130 is current which includes $1,400,000 in a short term mortgage payable. The Company raised approximately $25,000 in a convertible promissory note in 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had negative working capital of $13,133,581.

 

Our current cash resources, together with anticipated future cash flows from operating activities, may not be sufficient to fund our operations or debt that is maturing in 2015 or that is due on demand. In light of these circumstances, we are seeking additional capital through public or private debt or equity financing. However, there are no assurances that those efforts will be successful or that additional capital will be available on terms that do not adversely affect our existing stockholders or restrict our operations, if it is available at all.

 

Also, any equity financing would likely be substantially dilutive to our stockholders, particularly in light of the prices at which our common stock has been recently trading. In addition, if we raise additional funds through the sale of equity securities, new investors could have rights senior to our existing stockholders. The terms of any future financings may restrict our ability to raise additional capital, which could delay or prevent the further development or marketing of our products and services. Our need to raise capital before the repayment of our debt becomes due may require us to accept terms that may harm our business or be disadvantageous to our current stockholders.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant recurring losses from operations and is dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of its operations. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated April 15, 2015, in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2014, that included an emphasis of a matter paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management has been reviewing various strategic alternatives and has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, which we hope will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern, including the following:

 

·Establish and build strategic alliances and partnerships with companies offering complimentary products and services providing synergies for those involved.

 

·Leverage our extensive call termination agreements to offer wholesale call terminations to other carries powered by our carrier grade propriety VoIP switching platform.

 

21 
 

 

·Rental of available collocations space in our data center as well as available space on our telecommunications tower.

 

·Aggressively pursue new revenue by utilizing our mobile applications for use by our current and future subscriber base.

 

There can be no assurance that the actions outlined above will be successful or any new financing or equity infusion will be available or that we could obtain any such arrangements on terms suitable to us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

History and Overview

 

We are a Florida corporation, incorporated on May 1, 2006, under the name Discover Screens, Inc. (“Discover Screens”).

 

Prior to September 10, 2008, we were known as Discover Screens, a company dedicated to providing advertising through interactive, audiovisual, information and advertising portals located in high-traffic indoor venues. Our name and business operations changed in a series of transactions beginning in December of 2007.

 

On September 10, 2008, we changed our name from Discover Screens, Inc. to NetTalk.com, Inc. and we acquired certain tangible and intangible assets, formerly owned by Interlink Global Corporation (“Interlink”), directly from Interlink’s creditor who had seized the assets pursuant to a Security and Collateral Agreement.

 

General and Recent Developments

 

During the second quarter of 2015, certain investor’s in the Company converted debt into shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, the Company issued common stock to certain vendors in payment of invoices for services rendered allowing the Company to preserve cash. Also, the Company issued common stock to certain members of management in payment of back-pay, again, allowing the Company to preserve cash. As a result of these issuances and the need to restore reserve levels to the proper levels, as required by certain convertible debt holders, the Company depleted its treasury of its authorized shares that have not been issued and thus are not outstanding. As a result of the need to issue additional shares of common stock, the Company attempted to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 300 million (300,000,000) to 1.0 billion (1,000,000,000) shares. Accordingly, the Company’s board and majority shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to effect this increase. The Company has not yet filed this amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida due to the temporary restraining order obtained by Telestrata (see “Legal Proceedings”.

 

22 
 

 

On October 10, 2014, the Company received a termination letter from its primary vendor, Iristel (owned by, and with its CEO being, the previous President of netTALK), which provides telecommunications service and phone numbers (“DID”), with respect to two contracts between Iristel and the Company, one dealing with carriage and one dealing with DIDs. Upon being informed of the termination, the Company ported its carriage to a new carrier, and informed Iristel that, pursuant to its rights under the DID contract, it would port the DIDs promptly to a new provider. On October 17, 2014, Samer Bishay, previous President of the Company and CEO of Iristel, purporting to act on behalf of both the Company and Iristel, without conflict waivers of any sort, attempted to agree to rescind the termination of the DID contract, which neither Iristel nor the Company had the power to do. The Company attempted to shift the DIDs to new carriers, but Iristel, through Samer Bishay, the previous President of the Company, refused to allow these customers to be moved to new DID vendors.

 

On October 15, 2014, Telestrata LLC (“Telestrata”), a Colorado limited liability company, owned or controlled by three members of the NetTalk board of directors that were removed from the Board November 26, 2014, exercised its warrant for 19,424,000 shares of netTALK common stock. On October 16, 2014, (1) members of management exercised their warrants for 24,280,000 shares of netTALK common stock and (2) shareholders representing more than a majority of the then outstanding common stock of the Company voted, via written consent in lieu of a meeting, to remove each of Samer Bishay (President), Maged Bishara, and Nardir Aljasrawi from their positions as members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Director Removal"). The Director Removal became effective November 26, 2014.

 

On October 27, 2014, Company was notified that Samer Bishay, current President of the Company, on or about October 24th, 2014, through counsel for Telestrata, an entity with which he is affiliated, unilaterally filed a mortgage in the amount of approximately $4.5 million, encumbering certain real property of the Company. The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), through a unanimous written consent executed September 2, 2014, by all directors including Mr. Bishay, authorized the company to undertake such action only under certain conditions, including the condition that only the Chief Financial Officer of the Company could execute and authorize any such filing. Such written consent has not been revoked, modified or superseded by any subsequent valid action of the Board, and accordingly, the Company is working with counsel to rescind such unauthorized encumbrance and pursue any causes of action it or its shareholders may have against Mr. Bishay.

 

As a result of this unauthorized encumbrance, at this time the Company is unable to refinance the mortgage payable that was to mature November 29, 2014. However, the maturity date was extended to November 29, 2015.

 

Effective March 11, 2014, netTALK and Telestrata executed a restricted stock and warrant purchase agreement, pursuant to which, in part, Telestrata purchased: (a) 25,441,170 shares of the Company’s common stock and (b) a common stock purchase warrant entitling Telestrata to purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal to 20% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of netTALK. Subject to repayment obligations of the Company as provided below, Telestrata received credit of $4,571,940 to acquire the shares and warrants as follows: (a) $500,000 in the form of the conversion and cancellation of two promissory notes issued to Samer Bishay in May and July 2013, (b) $837,374 in loans to the Company received in the third and fourth quarters of 2013 and (c) the satisfaction by Telestrata of $2,734,566 of liabilities of the Company.

 

Also, on March 11, 2014, the Company executed a secured promissory note with Telestrata for $4,071,940. Interest accrues at 5% and the note and interest are payable March 1, 2016 subject to accelerated repayment terms as defined in the secured promissory note agreement. The principal balance of this note increased $500,000 from additional advances, as defined in the promissory note agreement, resulting in a new principal balance of $4,571,940. Advanced payments are required based certain conditions with qualified financing as defined in the secured promissory note agreement. The promissory note provides for a discount of up to a maximum of $1,805,785 if the Company makes timely principal and interest payments as required by the promissory note.

 

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company executed a redemption and debt restructuring agreement with Vicis Capital Master Fund ("Vicis") to, among other things, extend the term of its loans with two additional one year extensions, and reduce the overall loan with Vicis from approximately seventeen million dollars ($17,000,000) to three million dollars ($3,000,000). The restated loan accrues interest at six percent (6%) per year.

 

In addition, pursuant to the redemption and restructuring agreement, all shares and derivative securities held by Vicis were cancelled including the series A convertible redeemable preferred stock, 19,995,092 shares of the Company’s common stock, and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 76,864,250 shares of common stock. These securities have been returned to the Company and have been cancelled. The holders received no additional consideration to effect the modification.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies are discussed and summarized in Note 3 to our financial statements.  The following describes our critical accounting policies.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include developing fair value measurements upon which to base our accounting for acquisitions of intangible assets and issuances of financial instruments, including our common stock. Our estimates also include developing useful lives for our tangible and intangible assets and cash flow projections upon which we determine the existence of, or the measurements for, impairments, allowance for billing adjustments, doubtful accounts and allocation of prices between device and telecom services.

 

Our estimates and assumptions are based on experience, historical trends identified by management, telecommunications industry trends and the overall economic condition in the United States and abroad. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Financial instruments, as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825 Financial Instruments, consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, secured convertible debentures, and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local lending institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics.

 

We carry cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at historical costs since their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values due to their current nature. We also carry convertible debentures and redeemable preferred stock at historical cost.

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815-10-15-83 Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

 

24 
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is generated from product sales, telecom services, shipping and handling charges, leasing cell tower space and leasing co-location rack space in our operations center. All revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition and SAB 104 as follows: when evidence of an arrangement exists, in the case of products, when the product is shipped to a customer, or in the case of telecom services, when the service is used by the consumer, when the fee is fixed or determinable and amounts are collectible from the customers.

 

Revenue is recognized for device sales when the customer is invoiced for retail sales and when the customer completes the transaction for internet sales. Revenue for telecom service is recognized prorata monthly as the service is used and revenue for shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

 

Revenues: Net revenues were $1,091,322 and $1,276,611 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to a decrease in devices sold and a decrease in telecom renewals.

 

Cost of revenues: Cost of revenues were $409,017 and $771,176 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in cost of revenues is primarily due to a reduction in the number of devices sold and a reduction in the telecom cost per subscriber offset by higher cost of device sales due to deep discounts and free device offers to customers.

 

Gross margin: Gross profits were $682,305 and $505,435 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is due primarily to a reduction in the cost of telecom service charge per subscriber plus selling fewer low margin devices.

 

Operating expenses: Operating expenses were $1,147,328 compared to $764,693 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in operating expenses is due primarily to the increase in professional fees including legal fees to defend our legal matters and consulting fees and an increase in compensation and benefits from less wages being capitalized into development costs partially offset by a decrease in advertising expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s principal source of liquidity are cash and cash equivalent balances, cash flow from operations, and access to financial markets. Current cash resources, together with anticipated cash flows from operating activities, may not be sufficient to fund our operations, pay the mortgage payable that matures November 29, 2015 or pay our convertible promissory notes that mature in the third and fourth quarters of 2015.

 

As of June 30, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents were $119,256 compared to $372,284 at December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015 we had negative working capital of $13,133,581 compared to $9,233,886 at December 31, 2014. The increase is due primarily to the current status of virtually all debt other than promissory notes of $214,692.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $417,240 compared to net cash used in operations of $1,138,031 for the same period of 2014. The improvement in cash from operating activities was due primarily to cash provided by an increase in accounts payable in 2015 compared to reduction in accounts payable from converting accounts payable into a portion of the Telestrata promissory note. Also, the reduction in accounts receivable and inventory contributed to the improvement.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $39,691 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $233,259 for the same period of 2014. The improvement in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to the shift in development costs from using cash for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to providing cash for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $125,433 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,662,707 for the same period of 2014. The reduction in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to cash proceeds of $1,411,877 in 2014 compared to no new funding in 2015.

 

Certain Risks and Concentration

 

Our primary manufacturer accounted for approximately 13% and 23% of our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our primary telecom service provider for the six months ended June 30, 2015 accounted for approximately 22% of cost of goods sold. Our primary telecom service provider for the six months ended June 30, 2014 accounted for approximately 27% of cost of goods sold.

 

One of our customers presently operates under a consignment agreement. Under the agreement we sell and ship merchandise to our customer, and collect payments upon the sale of our product to the ultimate (final) consumer.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2015.

 

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission 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. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

As of June 30, 2015, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at June 30, 2015:

 

28 
 

 

Due to the limited resources, we have insufficient personnel resources and technical accounting and reporting expertise to properly address all of the accounting matters inherent in our financial transactions. We do not have a formal audit committee and the Board of Directors does not have a financial expert, thus we lack the Board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

 

Our small accounting department prohibits the segregation of duties necessary to ensure certain controls are effective.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed will be recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately.  Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem, and intends to developed procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations of financial resources.   While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

 

Changes in Internal Controls.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (f) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On April 4, 2012, MagicJack Vocaltec Ltd. filed a complaint in United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Civil Action No.: 9:12-cv-80360-DMM, against the Company, alleging patent infringement, seeking injunctive relief and damages as a result of the alleged patent infringement. The Company answered the complaint, denying all of its material allegations, asserting a number of affirmative defenses, and seeking counterclaims for declaratory relief. The Company’s patent counsel has provided an opinion that the NetTalk DUO does not infringe their patent. MagicJack Vocaltec Ltd. and NetTalk filed a Joint Stipulation and motion for the dismissal. Effective November 2012, the federal court has dismissed the entire case with prejudice, including all claims, counterclaims, defenses and causes of action.

 

On September 21, 2012, NetTalk.com, Inc. filed a complaint in United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Civil Action No.: 9:12-cv-810220-CIV-MIDDLEBROOK/BRANNON, against MAGICJACK VOCALTECLTD, MAGIJACK HOLDINGS CORPORATION f/k/a YMAX HOLDINGS CORPORATION and DANIEL BORISLOW.

NetTAlk.com., Inc. et al., 1:14-cv-24137. The Complaint makes claims derivatively on behalf of the Company’s shareholders for an injunction ordering the Company’s management to: (1) turn over to the Company all documents, data and other property; (2) prohibiting current management from accessing the Company’s computer systems; (3) prohibiting current management from representing they are employed with the Company; (4) suspending Anastasios Kyriakides from his position as chairman of the board of directors; and (5) preventing the Company and its employees from disclosing any information to current management. The Complaint also makes derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty against current management and seeks a declaratory judgment that holding the employment agreements between the Company and Anastasios Kyriakides, Kenneth Hosfeld, Nick Kyriakides, Steven Healy, and Garry Paxinos are void.

 

The Complaint makes direct claims against the Company and its management for: (1) a declaratory judgment stating the amount of shares owned by current management is inaccurate; (2) an accounting; (3) breach of contract for an unspecified amount of damages; (4) fraudulent inducement for an unspecified amount of damages (5) an equitable lien; and conspiracy.

In the Answer, the Company also asserts counterclaims against Plaintiff, as well as Samer Bishay, Maged Bishara and Nadir Aljasrawa, inter alia, to remove a cloud on title to real property owned by the Company and for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and intentional interference with contracts.

 

On July 7, 2015, Plaintiff moved for a temporary restraining order and, thereafter, moved for a preliminary injunction to enjoin, among other things, the Company: (a) from increasing its authorized shares of stock from 300,000,000 to 1,000,000; (b) to enjoin Defendants from exercising any rights with respect to 114,000,000 shares authorized to be issued in May 2015; (c) from issuing any shares under the Company’s 2015 Stock Option Plan, and (d) to enjoin Defendants from taking any action related to the issuance, sale or purchase of the Company’s stock. The Court held an evidentiary hearing on the motion for a preliminary injunction on August 3, 4 and 5, 2015. The court granted the motion for a preliminary injunction on August 19, 2015.

 

This action is currently in the discovery phase. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against it in the Complaint and further intends to vigorously prosecute its counterclaims.

 

30 
 

 

On or about December 24, 2014, the Company filed an action against Telestrata, LLC seeking to quiet title on its property and for slander of title based on Telestrata placing a mortgage on the property without the Company’s authorization. Telestrata has filed a motion to consolidate this action with the Telestrata Derivative Litigation. This motion is fully briefed and the Company is awaiting the Court’s decision on this issue.

 

On January 14, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the derivative claims based on Telestrata not filing a demand on the board of directors and its derivative and direct claims being in conflict with each other. This action has been consolidated with the action brought by Telestrata.

 

We are aggressively defending all of the lawsuits and claims described above. While we do not believe these aforementioned claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, given the uncertainty and unpredictability of litigation there can be no assurance of no material adverse effect. The Company is engaged in other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are believed to be material to the Company.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, there are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A, Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2015, except as follows.

 

Our common stock may be moved from the OTCQB to the OTC Pink.

 

On June 22, 2015, the Company received notice from OTC Markets Group, Inc. that the bid price of our common stock has closed below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days and thus our common stock no longer meets the Standards for Continued Eligibility for OTCQB, and that, the Company’s grace period to regain compliance expires December 21, 2015. If the closing bid price for the common stock has not closed at or above $0.01 for any ten consecutive trading days at that time, the Company’s common stock will be removed from the OTCQB marketplace. If the Company’s common stock is removed from the OTCQB marketplace, we anticipate that it will trade on the OTC Pink marketplace. If this occurs, the liquidity and market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

The Company issued 84,310,283 shares of common stock to debt holders as a result of their conversion of $166,333 of convertible debt.

 

Also, the Company issued 82,000,000 shares of common stock to vendors in exchange for $240,933 in professional fees and 4,928,500 shares of common stock to the Company’s CEO for $9,858 in back-pay. 

 

In connection with the foregoing, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Section Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.
