PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

QuoteMedia, Inc. (OTCQB: QMCI) is a leading provider of financial data, news feeds, market research information, and financial software solutions to online brokerages, clearing firms, banks, financial service companies, media portals, and public corporations. We are a single source for a wide array of market information and services, including streaming stock market data feeds, research and analysis information, content applications, portfolio management systems, software products, corporate investor relations provisioning, news services, wireless applications, and custom development. Our portfolio management products are provided on a "software as a service" basis, as are our other interactive content and data applications.

We have created a scalable system that aggregates, manages, and streams information from the stock exchanges and from other information and content feeds across both the Web and dedicated telecommunication lines. Because QuoteMedia is a comprehensive single-source market data provider, our clients are not required to deal with multiple data vendors, many of which continue to employ outdated infrastructures and delivery technologies. This allows our clients to license comprehensive financial information applications and raw data feeds more efficiently and cost-effectively.

QuoteMedia offers clients the advantages of a single source for a broad range of data, information, and services, including:

Our array of data delivery solutions are fast, lightweight, reliable, and easy to implement across all platforms. Our products are technologically advanced, providing a framework for quick implementation, seamless client integration and complete customization.

We are a United States reporting public company which was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1999. Our shares are quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets under the trading symbol QMCI. Our corporate head office is located at 17100 East Shea Boulevard, Suite 230, Fountain Hills, Arizona 85268, and our telephone number is (480) 905-7311.

Products and Services

QuoteMedia has developed a full range of financial data and market information solutions which are licensed to our clients on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Our products and services are divided into three main categories: Data Feed Services; Interactive Content and Data Applications; and Portfolio Management and Real-Time Quote Systems.

Data Feed Services

QuoteMedia offers comprehensive, ultra low latency, tick-by-tick enterprise level streaming market data feeds delivered over the Internet or via dedicated telecommunication lines, as well as supplemental fundamental, historical, and analytical data, keyed to the same symbology which provides a complete market data solution to our customers. Currently, QuoteMedia's Data Feed services include complete coverage of North American exchanges and over 70 exchanges worldwide. Data Feeds coverage includes equities, options, futures, commodities, currencies, mutual funds, and indices. The data is normalized for ease of use and is provided in a wide range of formats and delivery methods. Data is available in real-time, delayed, and end of day format.

QuoteMedia is in the process of launching Quotestream Connect^TM, a hybrid of our existing Data Feed Services, and our Portfolio Management Systems. It is a new method of delivering realtime data feeds to individual users to power 3^rd party applications. In most cases, this allows QuoteMedia to retain Vendor of Record status with the exchanges – resulting in significant savings for our clients in resources and exchange fees.

Interactive Content and Data Applications

QuoteMedia's proprietary financial software applications comprise a unique suite of custom Web technologies that combine the power and depth of established financial databases with the flexibility and efficiency of the Web to deliver customized high-quality content to clients around the world. QuoteMedia financial data delivery application products and components comprise an extensive product line that spans the spectrum of Quote Modules, Charts, Market Movers, News, Watch Lists, Tickers, Market Summaries, Option Chains, SEC Filings, Investor Relations Solutions, Component Fundamentals and much more. Our lightweight and fast-loading applications provide an extensive array of information in a variety of delivery vehicles. All of our content solutions are completely customizable, embed directly into client Web pages for seamless integration with existing content, and are licensed to our Clients on a recurring subscription basis. Our Interactive Content and Data Applications include the following:

Quote Modules – allow users to enter information and look up various data points on equities, funds, rates, currencies and the markets.

The data returned is compact, customizable, and incorporates comprehensive information, including charts, news, historical stock prices, market depth, SEC filings, insiders, financials, and other information.

Real-Time Snap Quotes – Cost-effective, customizable, instant real-time quotes and market data, real-time charts, real-time level II, and real-time options.

QMod – QuoteMedia's proprietary web delivery system, called QMod, was created for secure market data provisioning as well as ease of integration and unlimited customization and responsiveness. QMod is an extensible market data component JavaScript library used to deliver market data content to Web platforms powered by JSON back-ends. With extensibility in mind, QMod can be utilized to build custom applications on demand for clients as well as continue to improve existing and new components with ease. The resulting widgets are mobile-ready, because they automatically re-size and optimize based on the type of device they are viewed on – whether a lap top, tablet, or any model of mobile phone. And, unlike competitive products, QMod is SEO friendly, providiong self-generating, automatically updating content that is optimized for search engine indexing – whereas the content and associated links delivered through most competitors' widgets are essentially invisible to search engine web crawlers.

Portfolio Management Systems

QuoteMedia offers three leading edge portfolio managements systems: Quotestream™ Desktop and Mobile; Quotestream™ Professional; and a Web Portfolio Management product. Each of these systems can be implemented independently, or they can be employed in conjunction with each other to provide a complete portfolio management solution for both nonprofessionals and professionals.

Quotestream™ Desktop and Mobile

QuoteMedia's proprietary software, Quotestream, is our unique, Web-delivered, embedded application providing real-time, tick-by-tick, streaming market quotes and research information. Quotestream is the next generation portfolio management system for nonprofessional users, with enhanced features and functionality compared to our original Quotestream product – most notably tick-by-tick true streaming data, significantly enhanced charting features, and a broad range of additional research and analytical content and custom functionality. Quotestream is geared towards providing a professional-level experience to nonprofessional users. Coverage includes North American and LSE real-time data, NASDAQ, TSX, TSXV and LSE Level 2 data (market depth), market indices, dynamic and interactive charts, options, news and research information, and end-of-day quote data for over 35 international exchanges, in an easy-to-use and highly configurable interface.

No downloads or installations are required with this quick, lightweight and robust application. It is a sophisticated streaming portfolio management solution that can readily be embedded in any Web environment, allowing users to track investments and access research data with ease.

Quotestream has been designed specifically for syndication and private branding by brokerage, banking, and other corporate clients. It can be fully integrated into existing user registration databases, portfolio systems and on-line trading systems, thus enabling any brokerage, clearing firm, bank or other corporation to seamlessly complement their existing product offerings and differentiate themselves from their competition.

QuoteMedia corporate clients purchase volume licenses for their customers, gaining significant increases in customer attraction, retention and activity, and increased revenues as a result.

Quotestream offers the user ten portfolios, market summaries, NASDAQ Level 2 data, a last-ten-trade trend meter, volume leaders, top gainers and losers, company news, insider activity, SEC filings, research, analysis and opinions, earnings forecasts, news, stock ticker, intraday through twenty year historical charting, interactive charting, desktop pop-up alerts, and email alerts. Users may fully customize their workspaces to suit their needs. The design also offers a very simple point-and-click and drag-and-drop navigation with little or no typing involved. Quotestream displays in full screen mode, providing a comprehensive professional trade terminal-style interface.

QuoteMedia's Quotestream Mobile is a revolutionary mobile companion to the desktop product that allows users to access financial data, news, and charting in real-time or delayed modes, from many different handheld devices. Users are able to access and manage their Quotestream portfolios wirelessly through a cellular telephone or other mobile devices. Quotestream Mobile offers an extensive array of features and advanced functionality, and supports a large selection of mobile devices, including iPhone™, Android™, BlackBerry™, and several other handheld devices.

Quotestream Mobile can be integrated with any brokerage/clearing firm's existing on-line trading platform without the installation of expensive business enterprise servers. Additionally, the application is designed to allow private branding by brokerage, banking, and other corporate clients.

Quotestream Mobile and Quotestream Desktop are true companion products as any changes made to portfolios in either application are automatically reflected in the other.

Quotestream™ Professional

Quotestream Professional is designed specifically for use by financial services professionals and their key support personnel, offering exceptional coverage and functionality at extremely aggressive pricing. Quotestream Professional features broad market coverage, reliability, complete flexibility, ultra low-latency tick-by-tick data, as well as completely customizable screens, advanced charting, comprehensive technical analysis, news and research data.

Quotestream Professional was created with the latest technology, making QuoteMedia's professional application one of the most sophisticated, user-friendly and dependable market data and technical analysis solution available to market professionals today. It provides true thin client access as there is no software to download, no upgrades to install, and no technical staff required. QuoteMedia Professional is accessed via the Internet, avoiding expensive server and circuit infrastructure requirements.

Quotestream Professional also features wireless access to the same portfolios and market data entitlements through mobile devices. The desktop and mobile applications work in a co-companion relationship, where any changes made on one device immediately transfer to the other.

Web Portfolio Manager

The Web Portfolio Manager is a user-friendly yet powerful solution allowing users to track their holdings, conduct in-depth research and analyze performance for all stocks, mutual funds and indices listed on any of the major global exchanges.

The Web Portfolio Manager provides immediate Web access to detailed Quote Data, Market and Company News, Charting, Depth / Level II, Filings, Historical Data, Snap Quotes and more. The Web Portfolio Manager is an efficient and economical solution for both the new and experienced investor.

The Web Portfolio Manager offers corporate clients such as banks, wealth management companies, brokerages, clearing firms and Web portals an ideal opportunity to cost-effectively provide premium online portfolio management services for their investor customers.

The Web Portfolio Manager can be integrated with the Quotestream products so that changes in any one platform are reflected across the other systems, and real-time data entitlements are consistent across the board.

Quotestream Connect^TM

As discussed previously, QuoteMedia is in the process of launching Quotestream Connect^TM, a hybrid of our existing Data Feed Services, and our Portfolio Management Systems. It is a new method of delivering realtime data feeds to individual users to power 3^rd party applications. In most cases, this allows QuoteMedia to retain Vendor of Record status with the exchanges – resulting in significant savings for our clients in resources and exchange fees.

Products Competitive Advantage

Our products attract a broad market base, targeting corporate clients worldwide and providing comprehensive financial data services in a wide selection of custom packages. Markets for our services include:

Our financial data services provide a sensible solution to the high up-front cost of in-house developed software. We leverage our technical talent and innovative infrastructure across multiple client platforms, thus creating an economical, efficient and scalable system that can manage and deliver information application capabilities to an unlimited number of entities from data centers and content feeds across the worldwide Web and over telecommunications lines. Our data feeds have among the lowest latency of any available in the market and are developed and delivered using technology that is more current than that used by many major competitors in this market. Our marketing strategy is based on the following key competitive advantages:

Superior Products – Our goal has always been to create the best products on the market. We develop all of our products in-house and take pride in creating quality applications. Our products stand out for their superior design, user-friendliness, ease of implementation, customizability, reliability, data speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness.

Custom Development – QuoteMedia's ability to provide complete custom design and development services differentiates us from our competitors. We are able to create custom market data applications and software engineered precisely to our clients' specifications, and the speed with which we are able to take a product from concept to deliverable truly sets us apart.

Data Speed and Quality – Our connections to the world's exchanges for equities and derivatives have most sources of latency removed. This allows us to deliver extremely fast, accurate, and reliable data.

Single Source Provider – Clients are eager to acquire premium market data feeds, financial applications, streaming solutions, and news and research information from a single source provider. Rather than having to license applications, information and market data from multiple sources, our clients enjoy the benefits of dealing with a single comprehensive market data supplier.

Cutting Edge Data Delivery Technology – We use state-of-the-art hardware and software systems for maximum speed and efficiency. This provides us with a distinct advantage over our competitors, most of whom use outdated data delivery technologies based on legacy style data networks.

Effective Marketing – We have implemented a marketing strategy that focuses on multiple markets for our products and services, from individual nonprofessional end users to corporate and institutional clients and their customers.

Low Infrastructure Costs - Because of the unique technological advancements in data delivery developed by our company, our distribution model, and the strategic partnerships that are in place, we have maintained very low corporate overhead. All of our development is completed in-house, resulting in significant cost efficiencies. This allows us to focus our resources on data management, data acquisition, customer satisfaction, and business development activities. Our low cost base of development and operation also allows us to maintain very competitive pricing.

Competition

Many companies provide financial market data and related information. Companies such as Bloomberg, Thompson Reuters and Interactive Data Corporation (IDC) are some of the data providers in this highly competitive marketplace.

While there are many financial data providers, what mainly differentiates us from others is that we offer clients a comprehensive solution for stock market-related information provisioning with more advanced technologies than employed by most of our competitors. Our diversity of technical expertise, agile responsiveness to custom corporate requirements and development needs, and proven commitment to superior delivery technologies have established QuoteMedia as a frontrunner in the financial market data industry.

QuoteMedia's array of products benefit clients with an exceptional number of strong technical differentiators in embedded, fully private-labeled and seamlessly integrated environments which combine to offer strong market differentiation.

Trademarks, Domain Names and Intellectual Property

We own the trademarks for "QuoteMedia" and "Quotestream" and the domain names www.quotemedia.com; www.quotestream.com; and www.quotestream.ca. We will continue to own and protect these key assets into the future.

We protect our other intellectual property by a combination of copyrights, trademarks and confidentiality agreements with our employees, customers and other agents.

Regulatory Issues

We are not subject to any special governmental regulation concerning our supplying of products and services to the marketplace, and we believe we are in compliance in all material respects with all existing regulations governing other aspects of our businesses.

Employees

We currently have 55 full-time employees. Our employees are not members of any union, nor have we entered into any collective bargaining agreements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should consider carefully the following factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this report, in evaluating our company and our business.

Declining activity levels in the securities markets or the failure of market participants, could lower demand for our services. Our business is dependent upon the health of the financial markets as well as the financial health of the participants in those markets. The recent uncertainty in the global financial markets has resulted in lower activity levels, including lower trading volumes and a substantial reduction in the number of issuances of new securities. It has also led to the collapse of some market participants. Some of the demand for financial market data is dependent upon activity levels in the securities markets, while other demand is static and is not dependent on activity levels. In the event that a downturn in the global financial markets results in a prolonged, significant decline in activity levels or continues to have an adverse impact on the financial condition of our customers, our revenue could be materially adversely affected.

The impact of cost-cutting pressures across the industries we serve could lower demand for our services. During 2015 we saw customers continue their focus on containing or reducing costs as a result of the more challenging market conditions and this trend may continue into 2016. Customers within the financial services industry that strive to reduce their operating costs may continue to reduce their spending on financial market data and related services. If customers elect to reduce their spending with us, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Alternatively, customers may use other strategies to reduce their overall spending on financial market data services by consolidating their spending with fewer vendors, by selecting vendors with lower-cost offerings or by self-sourcing their need for financial market data. If customers elect to consolidate their spending on financial market data services with other vendors instead of us, if we cannot price our services as aggressively as the competition, or if customers elect to self-source their needs, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Consolidation of financial services within and across industries, or the failure of financial services firms could lower demand for our services. The recent recession has resulted in consolidation among some participants in the financial markets and the collapse of others. We continue to deliver services to a number of customers currently involved in the process of a merger or acquisition. As consolidation occurs and synergies are achieved, there may be fewer potential customers for our services. There are two types of consolidations: consolidations within an industry, such as banking; and across industries, such as consolidations of insurance, banking and brokerage companies. When two companies that separately subscribe to or use our services combine, they may terminate or reduce duplicative subscriptions for our services, or if they are billed on a usage basis, usage may decline due to synergies created by the business combination. A large number of cancellations, or lower utilization on an absolute dollar basis resulting from consolidations, could have a material adverse effect on our revenue. In addition, if financial services firms accounting for a material percentage of our revenues or profit cease operations as a result of bankruptcy and the assets of such customers are not acquired by successor entities, such events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Adverse capital and credit market conditions could limit our access to capital. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for the past few years. Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the capital and credit markets may limit our access to capital required to operate and grow our business. As such, we may be unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital which could reduce our financial flexibility.

If we are unable to maintain relationships with key suppliers and providers of market data, we would not be able to provide our services to our customers. We depend on key suppliers for the data we provide to our customers. Some of this data is exclusive to particular suppliers, such as national stock exchanges, and cannot be obtained from other suppliers. In other cases, although the data may be available from secondary sources, the secondary source may not be as adequate or reliable as the primary or preferred source, or we may not be able to obtain replacement data from an alternative supplier without undue cost and expense, if at all. We generally obtain data via license agreements. The disruption of any license agreement with a major data supplier could disrupt our operations and lead to an adverse impact on our results of operations.

A prolonged outage at one of our data centers that we share could result in reduced revenue and the loss of customers. Our customers rely on us for time-sensitive, up-to-date data that is reliably delivered. Our business is dependent on our ability to rapidly and efficiently process substantial quantities of data and transactions on our computer-based networks and systems. Our computer operations and those of our suppliers and customers are vulnerable to interruption by fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, acts of war, Internet failures, computer viruses and other events beyond our reasonable control. We maintain a back-up facility for our major data center that we share with Nexa Techologies, Inc. to seek to minimize the risk that any such event will disrupt operations. In addition, we maintain insurance for such events. However, the business interruption insurance we carry may not be sufficient to compensate us fully for losses or damages that may occur as a result of such events. Any such losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we seek to minimize these risks through security measures, controls and a backup data center, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful or effective.

We compete against companies with greater financial resources. We operate in highly competitive markets in which we compete with other distributors of financial and business information and related services. We expect competition to continue to be rigorous. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. These competitors may be able to expand product offerings and data content more effectively, and to respond more rapidly than us to new or emerging technologies, changes in the industry or changes in customer needs. They may also be in a position to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Increased competition in the future could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share or maintain our margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

New product offerings by competitors or new technologies could cause our services to become obsolete. We operate in an industry that is characterized by rapid and significant technological change, frequent new services, data content and coverage enhancements, and evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new services and data content and coverage enhancements, our services could become technologically obsolete or inadequate over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current services, to enhance data content and coverage and to introduce new services and technologies. These competitors may adapt more quickly to new technologies, changes in the industry and changes in customers' requirements than we can. If we fail to adequately anticipate customers' needs and technological trends accurately, we will be unable to introduce new services into the market and our ability to compete would be materially adversely impacted. Further, if we are unsuccessful at developing and introducing new services that are appealing to customers, with acceptable prices and terms, or if any such new services are not made available in a timely manner, our ability to compete would be materially adversely impacted. In both cases our ability to generate revenue could suffer and our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected. We will need to successfully enhance or add to current services in order to effectively expand into new geographic areas. In addition, new services, data content and coverage that we may develop and introduce may not achieve market acceptance and would result in lower revenue.

We may need additional capital with which to implement our business plan and there is no agreement with any third party to provide such capital. Implementing our business plan may require additional equity or debt financing. If we require additional funding or determine it appropriate to raise additional funding in the future, there is no assurance that adequate funding, whether through additional equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us. Further, any such funding may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. The inability to obtain sufficient funds from operations and external sources when needed may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We depend on key personnel and expect to hire additional personnel. Our performance substantially depends on the services of R. Keith Guelpa, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and David M. Shworan, President and Chief Executive Officer of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. The loss of Mr. Guelpa or Mr. Shworan, or our other key employees, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our future success will also depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled management, technical engineers, sales and marketing personnel, and finance and technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of any key personnel, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, or any delays in hiring required personnel, particularly technical engineers and sales personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may need to spend significant amounts of money to protect against security breaches. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our Internet operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against the threat of such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Consumer concern over Internet security has been, and could continue to be, a barrier to commercial activities requiring consumers to send their credit card information over the Internet. Computer viruses, break-ins, or other security problems could lead to misappropriation of proprietary information and interruptions, delays, or cessation in service to our customers. Moreover, until more comprehensive security technologies are developed, the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet as a merchandising medium. Were these risks to occur, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The success of our anticipated future growth depends upon our ability to manage successfully the growth of our proposed operations. We expect to experience significant growth in our number of employees and scope of operations. Our future success will depend upon our ability to manage successfully the expansion of our operations. Our ability to manage and support our growth effectively will depend on our ability to implement adequate improvements to financial and management controls, reporting, order entry systems, and other procedures and hire sufficient numbers of financial, accounting, administrative, and management personnel. Our expansion and the resulting growth in the number of our employees will result in increased responsibility for both existing and new management personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, attract, and retain experienced accounting and financial personnel. Our future operating results will depend on the ability of our management and other key employees to implement and improve our systems for operations, financial control, and information management and to recruit, train, and manage our employee base. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or manage any such growth successfully or to implement and maintain adequate financial and management controls and procedures. Any inability to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our future success depends upon our ability to address potential market opportunities while managing our expenses to match our ability to finance operations. This need to manage our expenses may place a significant strain on our management and operational resources. If we are unable to manage our expenses effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Penny stock rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult. Our common stock in the past has been, and from time to time in the future may be, subject to the "penny stock" rules as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event that no exclusion from the definition of a "penny stock" under the Exchange Act is available, then any broker engaging in a transaction in our common stock will be required to provide each customer with:

The bid and offer quotation and compensation information must be provided prior to effecting the transaction and must be contained on the customer's confirmation. Certain brokers are less willing to engage in transactions involving "penny stocks" as a result of the additional disclosure requirements described above, which may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to dispose of their shares.

Investors should not expect to receive a dividend in the future. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not currently anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to apply earnings to the expansion and development of our business.

Subject to the preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board of Directors, from time to time, out of legally available funds. Payments of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, and capital requirements as well as other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

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

Overview

We are a developer of financial software and a distributor of market data and research information to online brokerages, clearing firms, banks, media properties, public companies and financial service corporations worldwide. Through the aggregation of information from many direct data, news, and research sources, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions for all market-related information provisioning requirements.

We have three general product lines: Data Feed Services, Interactive Content and Data Applications, and Portfolio Management Systems.

Our Data Feed Services consist of raw streaming real-time market data delivered over the Internet or via dedicated telecommunication lines, and supplemental fundamental, historical, and analytical data, keyed to the same symbology, which provides a complete market data solution to be offered to our customers. Currently, QuoteMedia's Data Feed services include complete coverage of North American exchanges and over 70 exchanges worldwide.

Our Interactive Content and Data Applications consist of a suite of software applications that provide publicly traded company and market information to corporate clients via the Internet. Products include stock market quotes, fundamentals, historical and interactive charts, company news, filings, option chains, insider transactions, corporate financials, corporate profiles, screeners, market research information, investor relations provisions, level II, watch lists, and real-time quotes. All of our content solutions are completely customizable and embed directly into client Web pages for seamless integration with existing content. We also recently launched QMod, our new proprietary Web delivery system. QMod was created for secure market data provisioning as well as ease of integration and unlimited customization. Additionally, QMod delivers SEO-ready responsive content designed to adapt on the fly when rendered on mobile devices or standard Web pages – automatically resizing and reformatting to fit the device on which it is displayed.

Our Portfolio Management Systems consist of Quotestream, Quotestream Mobile, Quotestream Professional, and our Web Portfolio Management systems. Quotestream Desktop is an Internet-based streaming online portfolio management system that delivers real-time and delayed market data to both consumer and corporate markets. Quotestream has been designed for syndication and private branding by brokerage, banking, and Web portal companies. Quotestream's enhanced features and functionality – most notably tick-by-tick true streaming data, significantly enhanced charting features, and a broad range of additional research and analytical content and functionality – offer a professional-level experience to nonprofessional users.

Quotestream Professional is designed specifically for use by financial services professionals, offering exceptional coverage and functionality at extremely aggressive pricing. Quotestream Professional features broad market coverage, reliability, complete flexibility, ultra-low-latency tick-by-tick data, as well as completely customizable screens, advanced charting, comprehensive technical analysis, news and research data.

Quotestream Mobile is a true companion product to the Quotestream desktop products (Quotestream and Quotestream Professional) – any changes made to portfolios in either the desktop or mobile application are automatically reflected in the other.

A key feature of QuoteMedia's business model is that all of our product lines generate recurring monthly licensing revenue from each client. Contracts to license Quotestream to our corporate clients, for example, typically have a term of one to three years and are automatically renewed unless notice is given at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the current license term. We also generate Quotestream revenue through individual end-user licenses on a monthly or annual subscription fee basis. Interactive Content and Data Applications and Market Data Feeds are licensed for a monthly, quarterly, annual, or biannual subscription fee. Contracts to license our Financial Data Products and Data Feeds typically have a term of one to three years and are automatically renewed unless notice is given 90 days prior to the expiration of the contract term.

Business environment and trends

The global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption in recent years. As a result, financial institutions globally have acted to control or reduce operational spending. While in some areas the anticipated impact of current market conditions may lead to a decision to reduce demand for market data and related services, we expect overall spending on financial information services will grow modestly over the next several years.

The Canadian dollar depreciated an average of 16% versus the U.S. dollar for the year ending December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This has resulted in lowering both our reported Canadian dollar revenues and expenses in 2015 compared to 2014 once translated into U.S. dollars. Approximately 27% of our revenues and 28% of our expenses are in Canadian dollars, so while the appreciation of the U.S. dollar lowers our revenue figures, it has little impact on our bottom line.

Plan of operation

In 2016 we will maintain our focus on marketing Quotestream for deployments by brokerage firms to their retail clients and continue our expansion into the investment professional market with Quotestream Professional. We also plan to continue the growth of our Data Feed Services client base, particularly through Quotestream Connect^TM, our new method of delivering realtime data feeds directly to individual users to power 3^rd party applications. Quotestream ConnectTM represents a huge opportunity for QuoteMedia in the coming year, as this allows QuoteMedia to retain Vendor of Record status with the exchanges in most cases – resulting in significant savings for our clients in resources and exchange fees.

QuoteMedia will continue to focus on increasing the sales of its Interactive Content and Data Applications, particularly in the context of large-scale enterprise deployments encompassing solutions ranging across several product lines. QMod is expected to be a major component of this strategy, given the broad demand for mobile-ready, SEO-friendly web content.

Important new development projects for 2016 include broad expansion of data and news coverage, including the addition of a wide array of international exchange data, real-time forex coverage, and several premium news services.

New deployments of our trade integration capabilities, which allow our Quotestream applications to interact with our brokerage clients' back-end trade execution and reporting platforms (enabling on-the-fly trade execution and tracking of holdings) will also be a priority in the coming year.

Opportunistically, efforts will be made to evaluate and pursue the development of additional new products that may eventually be commercialized by our company. Although not currently anticipated, we may require additional capital to execute our proposed plan of operation. There can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available to our company on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Our future performance will be subject to a number of business factors, including those beyond our control, such as a continuation of market uncertainty and evolving industry needs and preferences, as well as the level of competition and our ability to continue to successfully market our products and technology. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our marketing strategy, continue our revenue growth, or achieve profitable operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's Discussion and Analysis discusses our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized over contractual periods as services are performed and when collection of the amount due is reasonably assured. Amounts recognized as revenue are determined based upon contractually agreed-upon fee schedules with our customers. We account for subscription revenues received in advance of services being performed by deferring such amounts until the related services are performed. We consider the following factors when determining if collection of a fee is reasonably assured: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If these factors do not indicate collection is reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

We exercise judgment in assessing the creditworthiness of our customers and therefore in our determination of whether collectability is reasonably assured. Should changes in conditions cause us to determine that these criteria are not met for future transactions, revenue recognized in future reporting periods could be adversely affected.

Capitalized Application Software

Capitalized software costs include costs incurred in connection with the development of software and purchased software. These costs relate to software used by subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in the Company's databases. Capitalized costs associated with internally developed software are amortized over three years which is their estimated economic life.

We exercise significant judgment in determining that capitalized application software costs meet the criteria established in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 350-985, Software. Software production costs for computer software that is to be used as an integral part of a product or process shall not be capitalized until both (a) technological feasibility has been established for the software and (b) all research and development activities for the other components of the product or process have been completed.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized $677,638 and $832,450 of costs, respectively, related to the development of new software applications and enhancements made to existing software applications. Software applications are used by our subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in our databases. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, amortization expenses associated with the internally developed application software was $791,475 and $775,709 respectively. At December 31, 2015, the remaining book value of the application software was $1,151,396.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 (as subsequently amended) is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (beginning in calendar year 2018 for the Company), with earlier application permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014 15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update will explicitly require a company's management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendment requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. The new standard is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs and does not affect the recognition or measurement of debt issuance costs. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) which amends lease accounting by lessors and lessees. This new standard will require, among other things, that lessees recognize a right-to-use asset and related lease liability for all significant financing and operating leases, and specifies where in the statement of cash flows the related lease payments are to be presented. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years (beginning in calendar year 2019 for the Company), and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Licensing revenue has decreased 5% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The decrease is a result of a decrease in revenue from licensing both our Interactive Content and Data Applications and Portfolio Management Systems.

Our revenue was negatively impacted by the change in average exchange rate from the comparative period in 2014. The U.S. dollar has appreciated an average of 16% versus the Canadian dollar for the year ending December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This resulted in lowering our reported Canadian dollar revenue by approximately $370,000 once translated into U.S. dollars. Had the exchange rate remained unchanged from the comparative period, revenue would have decreased 0.5% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Total Portfolio Management System revenue decreased by a total of 5% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Corporate Quotestream revenue decreased 3% in 2015 from the comparative period in 2014 due to the depreciation of the Canadian dollar. The depreciation of the Canadian dollar resulted in a 6% decrease in Corporate Quotestream revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparative period in 2014 as approximately 36% of our Corporate Quotestream revenue is in Canadian dollars. Had the exchange rate remained unchanged from the comparative period, Corporate Quotestream revenue would have increased 3% due to new contracts signed during 2015.

Individual Quotestream revenue decreased 9% from the comparative period in 2014, resulting from a decrease in the number of subscribers from the comparative period and from the depreciation of the Canadian dollar. The depreciation of the Canadian dollar resulted in a 6% decrease in Individual Quotestream revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparative period in 2014 as approximately 39% of our individual Quotestream revenue is in Canadian dollars.

Interactive Content and Data Application revenue decreased 4% from the comparative period in 2014. The decrease from the comparative period are primarily due to the depreciation of the Canadian dollar. The depreciation of the Canadian dollar resulted in a 3% decrease in Interactive Content and Data Application revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparative period in 2014 as 18% of our Interactive Content and Data Application revenue is in Canadian dollars.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit Summary

Our cost of revenue consists of fixed and variable stock exchange fees and data feed provisioning costs. Cost of revenue also includes amortization of capitalized application software costs. We capitalize the costs associated with developing new products once technological feasibility has been established.

Cost of revenue remained relatively unchanged when comparing the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. We incurred increased financial content fees from the comparative period due to new and increased fees levied by a number of content providers, offset by the cost savings from co-location fees that are incurred in Canadian dollars.

Overall, the cost of revenue increased as a percentage of sales, as evidenced by our gross margin percentage which decreased to 41% in 2015 from 44% in 2014. The decrease in gross margin from the comparative period is mainly due to impact of the depreciation of the Canadian dollar on our revenue and increased stock exchange fees that we were unable to fully pass on to our clients.

Operating Expenses Summary

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing consists primarily of sales and customer service salaries, investor relations, travel, and advertising expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $81,014 (5%) for the year ended December 31, 2015 when compared to fiscal 2014.

The increase was due to the extension of stock options and warrants in May 2015. On May 15, 2015, the Company extended the term of a total of 8,458,803 options and warrants. The extension of the options and warrants was accounted for as an exchange of the original awards for new awards. The incremental increase in fair value of the new awards resulted in additional stock-based compensation expenses totaling $278,828 that was recognized in full in May 2015. Of the $278,828 stock-based compensation expense recognized, $268,493 was classified as sales and marketing expense. The increase was offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Canadian dollar as our sales and marketing expenses are incurred mainly in Canadian dollars.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries expense, office rent, insurance premiums, and professional fees. General and administrative expenses decreased $139,405 (7%) for year ended December 31, 2015 when compared to fiscal 2014.

The decrease is due to the impact of the appreciation of the U.S. dollar on the translation of our Canadian dollar general and administrative expenses, as well as a decrease in customer service outsourcing expenses. Starting in July 2013, we outsourced our level 1 customer service functions. This outsourcing agreement was terminated effective May 31, 2014 and customer service functions were moved back in house and included in development expenses.

Software Development

Software development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the design, programming, and testing of our software applications prior to the establishment of technological feasibility. Software development expenses also include costs incurred to maintain our software applications.

Software development expenses decreased $42,588 (4%) for the year ended December 31, 2015 when compared to fiscal 2014. The decrease from the comparative period is due mainly to the depreciation of the Canadian dollar, as our development expenses are incurred mainly in Canadian dollars.

We capitalized $677,638 of development costs for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $832,450 in 2014. These costs relate to the development of application software used by subscribers to access, manage, and analyze information in our databases. Capitalized costs associated with application software are amortized over their estimated economic life of three years.

Other Income and (Expense) Summary

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

We recognized a foreign exchange gain of $234,651 in 2015, compared to a foreign exchange gain of $97,840 in 2014. Exchange gains and losses arise from the re-measurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. Gains and losses related to foreign exchange forward contracts are also included in foreign exchange gains and losses.

The foreign exchange gain in 2015 is due to the gain arising from the re-measurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars, as we have a net Canadian dollar liability and the U.S. dollar appreciated 19% versus the Canadian dollar from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2015 was $881,137, compared to $780,699 in 2014. Interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2015 due to additional borrowings compared to the same period in 2014. Interest is accrued at 10% per annum on certain amounts owed to related parties. Interest income earned on cash balances is netted against interest expense.

Provision for Income Taxes

In 2015, the Company recorded Canadian income tax expense of $3,129, compared to a Canadian income tax expense of $3,622 in 2014.

Net Loss for the Period

As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $(1,656,782) or $(0.02) per share compared to a net loss of $(1,384,719) or $(0.02) per share for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash totaled $251,834 at December 31, 2015, as compared with $423,053 at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $171,219. Net cash of $622,578 was provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to noncash depreciation and the increase in accounts payable and amounts due to related parties. This was offset by the net loss for the period. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $793,797 resulting primarily from capitalized application software costs and the purchase of new computer equipment and intangible assets.

Our current liabilities include $607,024 in deferred revenue. The expected costs necessary to realize the deferred revenue in 2016 are minimal.

As of December 31, 2015, long-term liabilities consist of $9,436,923 due to related parties which are classified as long term because we do not expect to repay amounts owed to related parties during 2016. All repayments of amounts due to related parties must be approved by our Board of Directors. Repayments are subject to our company having sufficient cash on hand and are intended not to impair continuing business operations.

Based on the factors discussed above, we believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next 12 months. However, to implement our business plan may require additional financing. Additional financings may come from future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to our stockholders. Further, current adverse capital and credit market conditions could limit our access to capital. We may be unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital which could reduce our financial flexibility.

Our long-term liquidity requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which we expand our business and whether we do so internally or through acquisitions. To the extent that the funds generated from operations are insufficient to fund our activities in the long term, we may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if it is available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than office lease commitments discussed in Note 10 to our financial statements, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of QuoteMedia, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, and affected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley Rule 404 (c).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the last quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table sets forth information with respect to our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, and rights to purchase shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2015.

1999 Stock Option Plan

During March 1999, we adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 1999 Stock Option Plan to advance the interests of our company by encouraging and enabling key employees to acquire a financial interest in our company and link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of our stockholders. A total of 400,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 1999 plan. In September 1999, this number was increased to 2,500,000. As of December 31, 2015, 1,144,817 shares of our common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 1999 plan, and there were outstanding options to acquire 1,355,183 shares of our common stock under the 1999 plan.

The 1999 plan is administered by our Board of Directors or a committee appointed by our board. Our board or the committee has the authority to grant options, determine the purchase price of shares of our common stock covered by each option, determine the persons who are eligible under the 1999 plan, interpret the 1999 plan, determine the terms and provisions of an option agreement, and make all other determinations deemed necessary for the administration of the 1999 plan. Options may be granted to any director, officer, key employee, or any advisory board member of our company. Incentive stock options may not be granted to a director, consultant, or advisory board member that is not an employee of our company.

The price of any incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The price of any incentive stock options granted to a person who owns more than 10% of our common stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The option price for nonincentive stock options may not be less than 50% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options may be granted for terms of up to but not exceeding ten years from the date of grant; however, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an individual who beneficially owns 10% more of the stock of our company, the exercise period shall not exceed five years from the date of grant. Our Board of Directors may accelerate the exerciseability of any outstanding options at any time for any reason.

In the event of any change in the number of shares of our common stock, the number of shares of common stock covered by outstanding options and the price per share of such options will be adjusted accordingly to reflect any such changes. Similar changes will also be made if our company engages in any merger, consolidation, or reclassification in which it is the surviving entity. In the event that we are not the surviving entity, each option shall terminate provided that each holder will have the right to exercise during a ten day period ending on the fifth day prior to such corporate transaction. In the event of a change of control, our board or the committee may terminate each option, provided that each holder receive the amount of cash equal to the difference between the exercise price of each option and the fair market value of each share of stock subject to such option.

Our board may suspend, terminate, modify, or amend the 1999 plan provided that, in certain instances, the holders of a majority of our common stock issued and outstanding approve the amendment.

2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan

Our Board of Directors has approved our 2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2003 plan, approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting held on February 14, 2003. The purpose of the 2003 plan is to assist our company in attracting, motivating, retaining, and rewarding high-quality executives and other employees, directors, officers, and independent contractors by enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in our company in order to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and our stockholders, and providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value.

At December 31, 2015, there are 15,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2003 plan. As of December 31, 2015, 2,350,372 shares of common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 2003 plan, and there were 4,820,000 options outstanding under the 2003 plan.

Eligibility and Administration

The persons eligible to receive awards under the 2003 plan are the officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors of our company. The 2003 plan is to be administered by a committee designated by our Board of Directors consisting of not less than two directors, each member of which must be a "nonemployee director" as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an "outside director" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. However, except as otherwise required to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, or Section 162(m) of the Code, our Board of Directors may exercise any power or authority granted to the committee. Subject to the terms of the 2003 plan, the committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to select eligible persons to receive awards, determine the type and number of awards to be granted and the number of shares of common stock to which awards will relate, specify times at which awards will be exercisable or settleable (including performance conditions that may be required as a condition thereof), set other terms and conditions of awards, prescribe forms of award agreements, interpret and specify rules and regulations relating to the 2003 plan, and make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2003 plan.

Stock Options and SARs

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant stock options, including both incentive stock options, or ISOs, which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to the participant, and nonqualified stock options, and SARs entitling the participant to receive the amount by which the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise (or defined "change in control price" following a change in control) exceeds the grant price of the SAR. The exercise price per share subject to an option and the grant price of a SAR are determined by the committee, but in the case of an ISO must not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the 2003 plan, the term "fair market value" means the fair market value of common stock, awards, or other property as determined by the committee or our Board of Directors or under procedures established by the committee or our Board of Directors. Unless otherwise determined by the committee or our Board of Directors, the fair market value of common stock as of any given date shall be the closing sales price per share of common stock as reported on the principal stock exchange or market on which common stock is traded on the date as of which such value is being determined or, if there is no sale on that date, then on the last previous day on which a sale was reported. The maximum term of each option or SAR, the times at which each option or SAR will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options or SARs at or following termination of employment generally are fixed by the committee or our Board of Directors, except that no option or SAR may have a term exceeding ten years. Options may be exercised by payment of the exercise price in cash, shares that have been held for at least six months, outstanding awards, or other property having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, as the committee or our Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Methods of exercise and settlement and other terms of the SARs are determined by the committee or our Board of Directors. SARs granted under the 2003 plan may include "limited SARs" exercisable for a stated period of time following a change in control of our company, as discussed below.

Restricted and Deferred Stock

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant restricted stock and deferred stock. Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold or disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment, prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the committee or our Board of Directors. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder of our company, unless otherwise determined by the committee or the Board. An award of deferred stock confers upon a participant the right to receive shares of common stock at the end of a specified deferral period, subject to possible forfeiture of the award in the event of certain terminations of employment prior to the end of a specified restricted period. Prior to settlement, an award of deferred stock carries no voting or dividend rights or other rights associated with share ownership, although dividend equivalents may be granted, as discussed below.

Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Cash Obligations

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant shares of common stock as a bonus free of restrictions, or to grant shares of common stock or other awards in lieu of company obligations to pay cash under the 2003 plan or other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as the committee or our Board of Directors may specify.

Acceleration of Vesting; Change in Control

The committee or our Board of Directors may in the case of a "change of control" of our company, as defined in the 2003 plan, in its discretion, accelerate the exercisability, the lapsing of restrictions, or the expiration of deferral or vesting periods of any award (including the cash settlement of SARs and "limited SARs" which may be exercisable in the event of a change in control). In addition, the committee or our Board of Directors may provide in an award agreement that the performance goals relating to any performance based award will be deemed to have been met upon the occurrence of any "change in control." Upon the occurrence of a change in control, if so provided in the award agreement, stock options and limited SARs (and other SARs which so provide) may be cashed out based on a defined "change in control price," which will be the higher of

For purposes of the 2003 plan, the term "change in control" generally means
 

Amendment and Termination

Our Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the 2003 plan or the committee's authority to grant awards without further stockholder approval, except stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment or alteration if such approval is required by law or regulation or under the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which shares of common stock are then listed or quoted. Thus, stockholder approval may not necessarily be required for every amendment to the 2003 plan which might increase the cost of the 2003 plan or alter the eligibility of persons to receive awards. Stockholder approval will not be deemed to be required under laws or regulations, such as those relating to ISOs, that condition favorable treatment of participants on such approval, although our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, seek stockholder approval in any circumstance in which it deems such approval advisable. Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the 2003 plan will terminate at such time as no shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the 2003 plan and we have no further rights or obligations with respect to outstanding awards under the 2003 plan.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

The duties and responsibilities of our Audit Committee include the pre-approval of all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services permitted by law or applicable SEC regulations (including fee and cost ranges) to be performed by our independent auditor. Any pre-approved services that will involve fees or costs exceeding pre-approved levels will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Unless otherwise specified by the Audit Committee in pre-approving a service, the pre-approval will be effective for the 12-month period following pre-approval. The Audit Committee will not approve any non audit services prohibited by applicable SEC regulations or any services in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which will not be supported by the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

To the extent deemed appropriate, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the Board or any one or more other members of the Audit Committee provided that any member of the Audit Committee who has exercised any such delegation must report any such pre-approval decision to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee will not delegate the pre-approval of services to be performed by the independent auditor to management.

All of the services provided by Hein & Associates LLP described above under the captions "Audit Fees" were approved by our Audit Committee.

Index to Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Quotemedia, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quotemedia, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quotemedia, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Nature of operations

We are a software developer and distributor of financial market data and related services to a global marketplace. We specialize in the collection, aggregation, and delivery of both delayed and real-time financial data content via the Internet. We develop and license software components that deliver dynamic content to banks, brokerage firms, financial institutions, mutual fund companies, online information and financial portals, media outlets, public companies, and corporate intranets.

b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of QuoteMedia, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

c) Foreign currency translation and transactions

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of all our company's operations. Foreign currency asset and liability amounts are remeasured into U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates, except for equipment and intangible assets, which are remeasured at historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the year, except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts remeasured at historical exchange rates. Because the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, exchange gains and losses arising from remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in income in the period in which they occur.

d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include money market investments that have an original maturity of three months or less and are redeemable on demand. We maintain our accounts primarily at one financial institution. At times throughout the year, our cash and cash equivalents balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

e) Allowance for doubtful accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The Company determines the allowance by reviewing the age of the receivables and assessing the anticipated ability of customers to pay. No collateral is required for any of the receivables and the Company does not usually apply financing charges to outstanding accounts receivable balances. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $90,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014. Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $108,306 and $33,030 respectively.

QUOTEMEDIA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

f) Property and equipment

Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases or useful lives, whichever is shorter. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in income.

Capitalized software costs include costs incurred in connection with the development of software and purchased software. These costs relate to software used by subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in the Company's databases. Capitalized costs associated with internally developed software are amortized over three years which is their estimated economic life.

Depreciable and amortizable assets are evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating environment. In these circumstances, if an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on discounted future cash flows. Useful lives are periodically evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate the need for revision. There were no impairments recorded for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

g) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share takes into account shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options outstanding). The effect of a stock split or reverse split is applied retroactively to preceding periods. For the years ended 2015 and 2014 all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

h) Stock-based compensation

FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensationrequires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized.

Total estimated stock-based compensation expense, related to all of the Company's stock-based awards, recognized for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was comprised as follows:
