General economic conditions.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further under the sections titled “Description of the Business”, “Risk Factors and Uncertainties”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis”. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K by the foregoing cautionary statements.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Klever Marketing, Inc. is engaged in obtaining capital in order to file and acquire patents, to seek out and to investigate, develop, manufacture and market electronic in-store advertising, directory and coupon services which have potential for profit. The Company successfully conducted two in-store demonstrations of its shopping cart technology – the latest being in 2009 with the release of the Giving Cart and its Retailer Chime-Time Awards Programs. Subsequently, in 2010, the Company shifted its business model to mobile technology and has aggressively developed new applications using this technology.

Product Base

Following a decade of development of its shopping cart-based electronic advertising technology, which was successful in demonstrating the advantages of electronic distribution and redemption of electronic coupons and promotions, the Company realized that mobile technology, primarily cell phones, had advanced to the level where Klever’s product base could be applied and considerably expanded into an entirely new product line. Accordingly, in 2010, the Company made a dramatic shift into mobile technology. Since that time the Company has made substantial progress on its mobile application development and implementation. The software programming of the consumer KleverShop 1.0 application has been completed and successfully tested in our demonstration store. The retailer and supplier KleverDash application has completed its database and backend programming, complete with a revised graphical user interface, and successfully tested in our demonstration store.

2015 Mobile Application Development and Implementation

In 2015, the Company’s business efforts have concentrated on two areas: modifying the software to meet retailers’ refined business requirements and expanding our contacts within the retail grocery industry. We completed our Wholesome Choice Market demonstration test in 2014, and the feedback led us to conclude that to best serve our clients we needed to 1) add a loyalty program with points and 2) develop store branding and license our KleverShop software, allowing markets to brand the application as their own. Following further discussions with our investors, we also decided that now was the time to upgrade our software to an entirely new development platform that would be much more efficient and effective in addressing the desired enhancements and provide for the needed scalability.

All of these goals have been accomplished, and Klever rolled out its new and upgraded software, generically known as KleverShop 2.0. This new platform is highly efficient, and the new features deliver what our retailers have been asking for. For instance, our coupon options have been expanded. Our user interface provides for complete client branding in order to serve individual retailer needs. We have built our loyalty program designated KleverPoints, which gives retailers the opportunity to award points for various shopping functions that lead to greater basket uplift. Points are awarded for checking in and for redeeming coupons as well as total basket size.

At the same time, we have been working on upgrading our KleverDash platform. We envision a number of ways to make this tool even more useful to suppliers and retailers, with easier coupon generation, more types of coupons and expanded graphics analytics. Analytics offer the key to expanded use of this module and is a key to retailers gaining increasing market share and basket uplift. Our future work will focus on the consumer engagement uses of our software tools.

Our new software platform not only has far better built-in documentation but also allows us to embed hundreds of software tests that greatly reduce the debugging process. In addition we have purchased a Retalix POS test center to further enable us to eliminate any post-development bugs. And we are seeking certification from Retalix to be an approved 3rd party services provider.

We continue to pursue marketing on 3 fronts: 1) Marketing to retail grocers in Southern California to establish a retailer base with established regional grocers, 2) Marketing through retail grocery associations who supply support services and tools to a broad range of retail grocers, and 3) Marketing through software companies who support the Retalix ISS45 POS software throughout the grocery industry.

Towards the end of the year we recognized that customer engagement tools could greatly help us to transition consumers to a digital couponing world. Retail grocers, with their customers making 2-3 trips to the store each week offer a wonderful opportunity to engage their customers with multiple messages responding to their shopping actions or inactions. Klever wants each customer to feel that their local grocery store is “their personal store.” We do this by sending personal messages to them, recognizing them when they are at the store, and most of all offering them promotions and coupons that respond to their particular food interests. And we don’t bother them with products they are not interested in. We also reward them with loyalty points for responding to our promotions and are able to give them special promotions. The Klever Shopping Platform combined with customer engagement tools offer a very powerful resource to retailers and manufacturers, while meeting the needs of consumers.

The Company has also conducted a number of system failure tests to be sure we were prepared for network or power failures, overloading of data and a number of possible user errors in operating KleverShop. We also made further enhancements to KleverDash by including a supplier dashboard similar to the retailer dashboard. All of these features we are able to test on our in house POS laboratory.

Anticipated Business Development in the Next 12 Months

In 2015, the Company’s goals have been clear. Wrap up the programming and testing of KleverShop 2.0 and the updated KleverDash, and release these products into the marketplace for revenue operations. With the KleverShop 2.0 development complete, along with the updated KleverDash, in 2016 we will now expand our programming to be compatible with other POS systems, including those in use by NCR and IBM/Toshiba. To further establish the credibility of our KleverShop 2.0 system, the Company is currently in the process of seeking certification from Retalix.

Beyond that we are focusing on the integration of customer engagement tools into our application. Our initial feedback from this approach has been very encouraging and will greatly contribute to Klever’s future success.

We will attempt to use this retailer base to promote our relationships with product suppliers to bring them into the fold of Klever product users. With these suppliers we will attempt to promote our KleverBank® system for coupon management and consumer redemption, which when successful, is expected to place our Company in a very attractive position. We continue to differentiate ourselves as being a full service digital marketing provider to consumers, retailers and suppliers with platforms to meet all of their promotional needs. Notable progress is being made, and the Company is moving forward. However, we must caution the reader that Klever Marketing currently has no signed revenue contracts. No assurance or warranty can be given that the Company will be successful in implementing the efforts described in this report.

Recent Developments

We announced in February 2016 the filing of a new Utility Patent, which functions on top of Klever's patented APP KleverShop 2.0 technology to further incentivize and motivate customers to use their mobile phones while shopping. This unique patent is expected to further induce shoppers in selecting Retailer daily discount coupon offerings along with Manufacturer discounts which they have not been motivated to do previously.

We believe Klever's innovation, a first in the industry, will help the customer to save dollars and act as a major sales boost for the Retailer, and the Manufacturer.

This new patent application, when approved, will support the acceptance of Klever’s innovative digital couponing App KleverShop 2.0 with its customer engagement tools, which we believe represents a definite win/win for the Retailer, Manufacturer, Customer and for the Company.

We also announced that Klever is currently pursuing an agreement with one of the most successful major National Cloud-Based Companies, which we hope to be concluded in the near future. We believe this will accelerate Klever's penetration with the major retail supermarket chains, which could produce substantial revenue sources for the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Readers should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below.

Our failure to successfully address the risks and uncertainties described below would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business.

We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed.

Our independent registered public accounting firms’ reports to our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, indicate that there are a number of factors that raise substantial risks about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our accumulated deficit since inception, no sales recorded to date, our failure to attain profitable operations, the excess of liabilities over assets, and our dependence upon obtaining adequate additional financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, investors could lose their investments.

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in technology development, we face a risk of business failure.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by companies developing new technology and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the development of new technology with limited personnel and financial means. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated technical problems that extend the time and cost of product development, or unanticipated problems with the operation of our technology or that with which we are licensing that also extend the time and cost of product development.

If we do not obtain additional financing or sufficient revenues, our business will fail.

Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the full development and marketing of our mobile products, and we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently have minimal operations and we are not currently generating revenue or net income.

Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with developing our mobile phone technology and paying our current obligations. The Company currently does not have sufficient funds to pay its obligations. As a result, the Company will require additional financing to execute its business plan through raising additional capital and/or beginning to generate revenue.

We do not currently have any firm arrangements for financing, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such additional financing if required. Obtaining additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of our technology and current financial condition as well as general market conditions. These factors affect the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. And if additional financing is not arranged, the company faces the risk of going out of business. The Company’s management is currently engaged in actively pursuing multiple financing options in order to obtain the capital necessary to execute the Company’s business plan.

The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the additional sale of private equity capital or through a convertible debt instrument. Any sale of share capital will most likely result in dilution to existing shareholders.

There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that investors may have difficulty reselling their shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

Our shares qualify as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. In particular, prior to selling a penny stock, broker/dealers must give the prospective customer a risk disclosure document that: contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; contains a description of the broker/dealers’ duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violations of such duties or other requirements of Federal securities laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices; contains the toll free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions established pursuant to section 15(A)(i); defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and contains such other information, and is in such form (including language, type size, and format), as the SEC requires by rule or regulation. Further, for sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement before making a sale to you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent reselling of shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

Technology companies face intense competition. We will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees.

The technology industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. Competition includes large established technology companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to become a leader in our industry and attract and retain qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our technology development and commercialization efforts may be slowed down or suspended.

We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.

Volatility of Stock Price.

Our common shares are currently publicly traded on the OTC BB exchange under the symbol KLMK. In the future, the trading price of our common shares may be subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of the common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for software technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of the common shares, regardless of our operating performance. Readers should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.

As an enterprise engaged in the development of new technology, our business is inherently risky. Our common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below. As reported in Item 5. Market For Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters, the market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly.

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

Background

Klever Marketing, Inc. (the “Company”) was created to develop, market and distribute an electronic shopping cart device for in-store advertising, promotion and media content and retail shopper services and has not commenced its planned principal operations. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of developing various applications of its electronic shopping cart concept including its mobile application for smart phones which the Company is currently testing in retail supermarkets, obtaining patents and trademarks related to its technology, and raising capital. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failing to secure additional funding needed to finalize development of the Company’s technology and to commercialize its product in a profitable manner.

Going Concern Uncertainty

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company generated a net loss of $499,393 during the year ended December 31, 2015. Through December 31, 2015, the Company has not generated any operating revenues. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s current and total liabilities exceeded its current assets by $782,972. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $31,782 of cash available on hand.

The Company will require additional funding during the next twelve months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve its strategic objectives. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital principally through private placement offerings and is targeting strategic partners in an effort to finalize the development of its products and begin generating revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through calendar year 2016. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

Results of Operations

Revenues

To date, the Company has not generated any operating revenues.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased by $189,426 to $481,160 from $291,734 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The primary reason for the overall increase in general and administrative expenses is due to stock-based compensation of $162,911 in 2015 related to stock options issued to officers and directors. No stock options were issued in 2014. In 2015, the Company also experienced an increase in accounting fees, legal and professional fees, and outside services compared to 2014.

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased by $8,364 to $2,840 from $11,204 for the year ended December 31, 2014. During 2014, the Company incurred more costs than it did in 2015 primarily due to the Company setting up a demonstration unit to show prospective customers and investors.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $65,864 related to certain patents and capitalized software costs where management estimated the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value. The Company did not record an impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $14,123, comprised of $953 interest expense accrued on related party notes payable and $13,170 amortization of debt discount on related party notes payable. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we had no interest bearing notes payable and therefore no interest expense.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received net proceeds from settlement of patent infringement cases of $81,400 and included this amount in other income. No litigation settlements income was realized during the year ended December 31, 2015.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $10,609 where the statute of limitations had expired. No gain or loss was recognized on forgiveness of debt during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was comparable for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, amounting to $1,270 and $1,194, respectively. The biggest component of income tax expense in both years is the interest and penalties accrued associated with the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

Net Loss

As a result, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased by $221,406 to $499,393 from $277,987 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires working capital to fund its proposed product development and operating expenses for which the Company has relied primarily on short-term borrowings and the issuance of restricted common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company was able to sell 3,549,403 shares of its restricted common stock for total proceeds of $207,500. Funding of $30,000 was also provided during the year ended December 31, 2015 from proceeds from related party notes payable.

As of December 31, 2015, our cash position was $31,782, compared to $23,194 as of December 31, 2014. The Company currently does not have sufficient cash to fund its operations for the next 12 months, and will require working capital to complete development, testing and marketing of its new mobile products and to pay for ongoing operating expenses. We anticipate adding consultants for technology development and the corresponding operations of the Company, but this will not occur prior to obtaining additional capital. Management is currently in the process of looking for additional investors. Currently, loans from banks or other lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowings are not available to the Company. The Company has been able to raise working capital to fund operations from short-term borrowings from principal shareholders or officers and directors, or obtained through the issuance of the Company’s restricted common stock.

As of December 31, 2015, our current liabilities and total liability of $814,754 exceeded our current assets of $31,782 by $782,972.

By comparison, during the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash used by operating activities was $41,948, resulting from our net loss of $277,987 and non-cash gain of $10,609, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $89,438 and increases in accounts payable of $21,120 and accrued liabilities of $136,090.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The financial statements of the Company are included beginning on page F-1 immediately following the signature page to this report.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On January 27, 2016 (the “Resignation Date”) HJ & Associates, LLC (“HJ”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Company. On January 27, 2016, the Company engaged Haynie & Company (“Haynie”), Salt Lake City, Utah, as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The change of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from HJ to Haynie & Company was approved unanimously by our board of directors.

The reports of HJ on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, except the standard “going concern reservation”, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Resignation Date, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and HJ on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of HJ, would have caused HJ to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided HJ with a copy of the Form 8-K filed to report the change in independent registered public accounting firms and requested that HJ furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not HJ agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter from HJ, dated January 27, 2016, is attached as Exhibit 16.1.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through the Resignation Date, the Company has not consulted with Haynie regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Haynie concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company, and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), due to certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company. Due to limited resources, Management conducted an evaluation of internal controls based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The results of this evaluation determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2015, due to material weaknesses. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.

Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

	·	The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired level of separation of duties to achieve effective internal controls over financial reporting. We do have a separate CEO and CFO, to review and oversee the financial policies and procedures of the Company, which does achieve a degree of separation. However, until such time as the Company is able to hire a Controller, we do not believe we meet the full requirement for separation.

	·	We do not have a functional audit committee.

	·	We have not achieved the desired level of documentation of our internal controls and procedures. When the Company obtains sufficient funding, this documentation will be strengthened through utilizing a third party consulting firm to assist management with its internal control documentation and further help to limit the possibility of any lapse in controls occurring.

	·	We have not achieved the desired level of corporate governance to ensure that our accounting for all of our contractual and other agreements is in accordance with all of the relevant terms and conditions. Because of our limited capital resources, we sometimes formalize our agreements with certain contractors after the work is performed when additional resources become available to pay for the services.

As a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

To date, the Company has not been able to add any additional members to its Audit Committee due its limited financial resources. When the Company obtains sufficient funding, Management intends to add additional members to the Audit Committee and charge them with assisting the Company in addressing the material weaknesses noted above. The Company’s lack of current financial resources makes it impossible for the Company to hire the appropriate personnel needed to overcome these weaknesses and ensure that appropriate controls and separation of responsibilities of a larger organization exist. We also will continue to follow the standards for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for internal control over financial reporting to include procedures that:

	·	Pertain to the maintenance of records in reasonable detail accurately that fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;

	·	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and

	·	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has taken limited steps to meet its Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 compliance requirements and implement procedures to assure financial reports are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore fairly represent the results and condition of the Company. We are not materially compliant with the Section 404 requirements due to economic constraints.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Executive Officers and Directors

The following table sets forth the name, age, and position of each executive officer and director of the Company:

Director's Name	Age		Office	Term Expires
Paul G. Begum		75	Chairman/CEO	Future shareholder meeting

Robert A. Campbell		72	COO and CFO	Future shareholder meeting

Jerry P. Wright		63	Director	Future shareholder meeting

Paul has substantial entrepreneurial experience managing and owning controlling interest in HelpUSolve, LLC which operates a number of divisions with products ranging from filtered breathing masks (EnviroAir), food service industry cup liners, script writing, screen plays and theatrical productions. Paul also brings substantial and diverse fundraising abilities and negotiating skills to the Board.

Robert A. Campbell, age 72, retired from Parsons Corporation, a large engineering and program management Company, where he served as senior manager and director of program operations for projects and operations around the world. He has been responsible for the design and implementation of major software developments and installations.

Changes to Executive Officers and Directors

None

Audit Committee

As of December 31, 2015, the Company did not have a functioning Audit and Compliance Committee. The Company’s management is currently reviewing the Company’s SEC filings and relying on outside experts to assist with this process.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company's board of directors needs to have an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The individual needs to be capable of (i) understanding generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and financial statements, (ii) assessing the general application of GAAP principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (iii) analyzing and evaluating our financial statements, (iv) understanding our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (v) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert and meet the experience requirements specified in the SEC's definition of “audit committee financial expert.” Further, like many small companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” and competition for these individuals is significant.

Director Independence

A Director is considered independent if the Board affirmatively determines that the Director (or an immediate family member) does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with us or our affiliates or any member of our senior management or his or her affiliates. The term “affiliate” means any corporation or other entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with us, evidenced by the power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors or comparable governing body of such entity. The term “immediate family member” means spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in law, brothers- and sisters-in-laws and anyone (other than domestic employees) sharing the Director’s home.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Klever Marketing, Inc.

Salt Lake City, Utah

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Klever Marketing, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Klever Marketing, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company does not generate revenue and has negative cash flow from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Klever Marketing, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company does not generate significant revenue and has negative cash flow from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

Accounting Method

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets such as capitalized software development and licenses, office equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. For assets held and used, this analysis consists of comparing the asset’s carrying value to the expected future cash flows to be generated from the asset on an undiscounted basis. If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows, or external appraisals, as applicable. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the individual asset or the asset group level for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be identified. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $65,864 for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to certain costs for capitalized software and patents that management for which management believes the fair value are zero. The Company did record an impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of costs of capitalized software development and property and equipment as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

F-8

Capitalized Software Development

The Company capitalizes software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility has been obtained until the product is generally released to customers. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the products are available to customers and is computed using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. Currently, the Company anticipates amortization of software development costs to commence in fiscal year 2016. The Company achieved technological feasibility with regard to its mobile phone technology during the fourth quarter of 2010. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had capitalized software development costs of $535,023 and $451,706, respectively. No amortization expense was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of office equipment with a cost of $3,350 and with accumulated depreciation of $3,254 and $2,522 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Depreciation of office equipment is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated economic useful life of 3 years. Depreciation expense was $732 and $1,608 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Upon sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the determination of income or loss.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives.

Intangibles

Intangible assets, consisting of patents and trademarks, are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years from the date the patent or trademark is issued. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment on an annual basis or when the facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recovered. At December 31, 2015, intangible assets have a cost of $133,601, accumulated amortization of $54,026, and had a net book value of $79,575. At December 31, 2014, intangible assets have a cost of $96,151, accumulated amortization of $31,452, and had a net book value of $64,699. Amortization expense was $22,574 and $21,966 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Amortization expense of the Company’s existing intangible assets over their remaining lives will be $26,722 for 2016, $24,631 for 2017, $14,929 for 2018, $8,595 for 2019 and $4,148 for 2020.

Revenue Recognition

The Company currently has no revenues from its operations. We anticipate that revenues from product sales, net of estimated returns and allowances, will be recognized when evidence of an arrangement is in place, related prices are fixed and determinable, contractual obligations have been satisfied, title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common share equivalents than outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and the exercise of convertible preferred stock.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred net losses; therefore, common stock equivalents related to the conversion of stock options and convertible preferred stock have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per common shares because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic loss per common share is the same as diluted loss per common share for both years.

F-9

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Given the Company’s history of losses, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance with respect to any deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the uncertain tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. Our uncertain tax positions relate to certain state tax issues for which we have recorded an estimated current liability for in the accompanying financial statements at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit through December 31, 2015.

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $8,673 and $7,513 of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Research and Development

The Company continues to develop additional technology which facilitates the use of in-store advertising and coupon services through various technologies. As time and technology have progressed, the system being developed by the Company comprises mobile and other state of the art technology that facilitates retailers and package good companies providing "product specific" point-of-purchase advertising to its customers using proprietary software. The Company is currently developing mobile smart phone technology that will provide similar functionality to the Klever-Kart System.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $2,840 and $11,204 respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The FASB provides the framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance that defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels 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; and Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, the Company incorporates transaction-specific details that, in management’s judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value.

In arriving at fair-value estimates, the Company utilizes the most observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair-value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair-value measurement is characterized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair-value measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 for cash and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments, which management believes are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or earlier if allowed. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

F-10

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. ASU 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry-specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date by one year. The proposed deferral may permit early adoption, but would not allow adoption any earlier than the original effective date of the standard. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company currently has no operating revenues and is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09, including possible transition alternatives, will have on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15. 2018 and are to be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company generated a net loss of $499,393 during the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company did not generate any revenue from product sales during the years ended December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s current and total liabilities exceeded its current assets by $782,972. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $31,782 of cash available on hand.

NOTE 4 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities consist of the following as of December 31:

	2015		2014

Compensation - officers and bookkeeper	$	330,125	$	163,500

A reconciliation of provision (benefit) for income taxes provided at the federal statutory rate to actual provision for income taxes is as follows for the years ended December 31:

	2015			2014
Benefit (provision) for income taxes computed at federal statutory rate	$	194,720		$	94,110
State income taxes, net of federal benefit		43			9,134

Provision for Income taxes	$	(1,270	)	$	(1,194	)
Effective tax rate		-0.25%			-0.43%

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $14.7 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2035. The Company has state net operating loss carry-forwards of $5.1 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2028. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance that the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Utah jurisdictions. Tax years 2012 to current remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities.

The shareholders approved, by a majority vote, the adoption of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). As amended on August 11, 2003, the Plan reserves 20,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options which may be granted from time-to-time to officers, directors, certain employees and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries by the Board of Directors.

The Company estimated the weighted average grant date fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Risk free interest rate			0.07 – 0.83%
Expected life in years			0.58 – 2.83
Dividend yield			0%
Expected volatility			252.28 – 309.43%

A summary of the Company’s stock option awards as of December 31, 2015, and changes during the year then ended is as follows:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contract Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Outstanding at December 31, 2014		–		$	–
Granted		3,400,000		$	0.051

Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2015		2,800,000		$	0.050		2.09	$	–

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $0.035 as of December 31, 2015, which would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had the option holders exercised their options as of that date.
