PART I

 

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

 

General

 

We are an early stage company that is currently developing and plans to market a location-based social networking and mobile advertising platform.  We were formed as Awesome Living, Inc. in Nevada in July 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of uKarma Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“uKarma”).  uKarma developed and marketed proprietary branded personal health and wellness products, including a proprietary branded fitness DVD series (Xflowsion). On August 9, 2010, the assets of uKarma’s operating health and wellness business, including its Xflowsion DVD series, and its liabilities were transferred into Awesome Living, Inc. pursuant to a Contribution Agreement.  Therefore, our historical financial results are those of uKarma’s health and wellness business.  uKarma subsequently changed its name to Innolog Holdings Corporation (“Innolog”), and issued 10,700,000 shares of Awesome Living, Inc. common stock to our management. This, along with other subsequent issuances of our common stock, reduced Innolog’s percentage ownership of our common stock to 19.98%.

 

The Contribution Agreement anticipated a pro-rata spin-off of the Awesome Living, Inc. common stock owned by uKarma to uKarma’s shareholders of record as of August 12, 2010. We intend to complete to the spin-off as soon as practicable.

 

On June 20, 2011, we changed our name from Awesome Living, Inc. to OverNear, Inc. to better reflect our business of developing a location-based social networking and mobile advertising platform.

Business Overview

 

General

 

We intend to develop a location-based, social networking and mobile advertising platform. We are currently in development and expect to launch our mobile application to the general public via the Apple App Store during next quarter, although we cannot guarantee that the launch will take place as scheduled. Although we are developing our mobile and server-side applications, we may be required to obtain licenses from third-party vendors who provide application programming interfaces (APIs) and other off-the-shelf tool-sets which we may use from time to time to accelerate the development process. We expect to be able to obtain the licenses as and when we need them.

 

Business Strategy

 

Our strategy is to first rapidly build a user base in the top metropolitan areas by launching a free mobile tool, described below, which will allow users to connect, communicate and save money. Following the build-out of the user base, we will begin building out a business base. We expect to earn revenue by charging businesses a monthly subscription fee to use our technology as an advertising and marketing channel to reach our user base. We also expect to attract advertising dollars using traditional pay per click (CPC) and views per thousand (CPM) models on our mobile application.

 

Marketplace and Competition

 

As planned, our mobile application will compete in the rapidly growing multi-billion dollar mobile location-based services market. We may compete with other location-based mobile applications, including Foursquare, Google, Apple, and several new start-ups, many of which are significantly larger than us and have more capital to invest in their mobile advertising businesses. They, or other competing companies, may establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with their mobile operator partners, brand advertisers, app developers, or other parties, thereby limiting our ability to promote our services and generate revenue. These companies could compete with us to the extent they expand into mobile advertising. Any of these developments would make it more difficult for us to sell our services. We have no competitive presence in the mobile location based services market at this time.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Our ability to protect our intellectual property, including the development of the software application, will be an important factor in the success of our business. We currently have a provisional patent application pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and one non-provisional patent application soon to be filed. We expect to apply for additional patents to protect our intellectual property. We also continue to review whether pursuing patent protection in other countries is appropriate. We are in the process of registering a U.S. trademark registration for OverNear. We will also continue to review whether pursuing trademark protection in other countries is appropriate. In addition to the foregoing, we have established business procedures designed to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, including the use of confidentiality agreements and assignment-of-inventions agreements with employees, independent contractors, consultants and companies with which we conduct business, or will conduct business in the future.

 

Industry Regulations

 

The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is evolving, and various government and consumer agencies and public advocacy groups have called for new regulation and changes in industry practices, including some directed at the mobile industry in particular. It is possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted in the U.S. and internationally, or existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in new ways, that would affect our intended business, particularly with regard to location-based services, collection or use of data to target ads and communication with consumers via mobile devices. The U.S. government, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce, has announced that it is reviewing the need for greater regulation of the collection of consumer information, including regulation aimed at restricting some targeted advertising practices. The Federal Trade Commission has also proposed revisions to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, that could, if adopted, create greater compliance burdens on us. COPPA imposes a number of obligations, such as obtaining parental permission, on website operators to the extent they collect certain information from children who are under 13 years of age. The proposed changes would broaden the applicability of COPPA, including the types of information that would be subject to these regulations, and could apply to information that we or our clients intend to collect through mobile devices or apps that is not currently subject to COPPA.

Social Networking

 

OverNear expects to introduce a unique mobile app and web service that leverages location-based services to help connect people to people and businesses to shoppers. As currently planned, OverNear’s social networking platform will allow people who have an online connection (i.e. Facebook friends, LinkedIn contacts, etc.) to connect in person by simultaneously providing a push notification to all parties when they are in close proximity of each other.  Once the OverNear mobile app is installed on the consumer’s smartphone, the user will be presented with an opportunity to identify a list of friends and business contacts to be included in his or her OverNear contact list. OverNear will utilize appropriate application programming interfaces for mobile devices to allow users to bypass account creation and login with their existing accounts (Facebook, LinkedIn). For example, linking a Facebook account to OverNear will also enable access to the user’s Facebook friends list. From the imported lists, the user will have the ability to select (de-select) friends and contacts to include in his or her OverNear contact list.  Each user who downloads and installs the mobile app will independently establish his or her respective OverNear contact list.

 

As planned, our system will monitor each user’s OverNear contact list, and once an overlap occurs between any names, the respective persons will be simultaneously notified and required to accept their inclusion into the other OverNear contact list(s), thereby authorizing the system to notify them when they come into close proximity of each other (based on predefined preferences).  When this happens, all parties within a given OverNear contact list will be presented with an opportunity to connect with each other via instant message.  When this choice is made, a list of the persons in the OverNear contact list is presented, and each person is able to select one or more of the other persons from the list to contact with an instant message.

 

Mobile Advertising

 

As planned, OverNear will also be a location-based mobile advertising platform that will help brands and retailers reach consumers with mobile advertisements, such as promotional offers, discount coupons, and vouchers direct to their smartphones.  OverNear intends to deploy push notification campaigns to users based on where they are at any given moment, or on any number of other criteria, such as time of day, day of the week or proximity to a retailer’s location, among many other personalized preferences.  The key features that will be offered by OverNear include:

 

·Highly targeted advertising campaigns
·No SMS or MMS approval from the mobile carrier
·Campaigns are self-administered by retailer or brand
·Privacy-compliant – User location not revealed without consent
·Real-time analytics – virtual built-in ‘Marketing Consultant’
·Simple interface and easy-to-use – intuitive user interface

 

Our goal is to become a leading mobile advertising company. We believe that our technology, tools, and services will help brands and retailers maximize their advertising revenue and gain insight about their users. To advertisers, we expect to offer significant audience reach, sophisticated targeting capabilities, and the opportunity to deliver interactive and engaging ad experiences to consumers on their mobile connected devices. Our goal is to have our proprietary technology and data platform determine in real-time which ad to deliver, as well as to whom and when, thereby optimizing the effectiveness of advertising campaigns regardless of device type or operating system. We expect our platform to be initially compatible with Apple iOS and we are planning to release versions compatible with the Android and Windows mobile operating systems.

As smartphones, tablets, and other mobile connected devices become increasingly powerful and affordable, and mobile internet access becomes more widespread and faster, users are consuming more content on their mobile devices. Apps in particular are becoming a popular way for consumers to engage with and consume personalized digital content on their mobile connected devices. Gartner Inc., an industry research firm, forecasts that the total number of downloads from mobile application stores worldwide will increase from 17.7 billion in 2011 to 108.8 billion in 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate of 57%. With growth in this mobile app-based economy, mobile advertising creates new opportunities for advertisers to reach and engage audiences of potential consumers. Mobile devices are inherently personal in nature, facilitate anytime-anywhere access to their users, allow for engaging app-enabled experiences, and offer location-targeting capabilities. We believe that the combination of these features creates a powerful opportunity for delivering highly targeted, interactive advertising through mobile connected devices. However, a number of factors, including device and operating system diversity, as well as technological challenges, make it difficult and complex to deliver mobile advertising effectively.

 

We expect to help brands and retailers utilize mobile advertising without the complexities. By using our service, advertisers will be able to gain access to our tools and services to craft advertising and promotional campaigns with interactive rich media ads and video ads from our platform. As planned, our app will be able to analyze user data to build sophisticated profiles and audience groups that, in combination with the real-time decision-making, optimization, and targeting capabilities of our technology platform, will enable us to deliver highly targeted advertising campaigns for our advertiser clients. We anticipate that advertisers will pay us to deliver their ads to mobile connected device users. As we deliver more and more ads, we expect to be able to collect anonymous data about users, audiences, and the effectiveness of particular ad campaigns.We believe that this, in turn, will enhance our targeting capabilities and will allow us to deliver better performance for advertisers and better opportunities to increase their revenue streams. Our use of data for interest-based targeting, including location data, is based on consumer consent, and we offer consumers the ability to opt out of such targeting.

 

Benefits of Mobile Advertising

 

The combination of the inherently personal nature of mobile devices, their enhanced functionality, and the proliferation of app-enabled experiences creates a powerful opportunity for highly targeted and effective advertising. We believe mobile advertising enjoys a number of benefits over traditional advertising and PC-based online digital advertising, including:

 

·anytime, anywhere access to users;
·personalization of the advertising experience;
·location-based targeting;
·more complete user engagement;
·enhanced audience targeting based on location, behavioral and demographic data; and
·superior monetization opportunities for advertisers.

 

Growth Strategy

 

We seek to become the strategic independent platform partner of choice for advertisers wanting to capitalize on the large and growing mobile advertising opportunity. The key elements of our strategy are to:

 

·innovate through continued investments in technology and data;
·deepen our relationship with our users;
·acquire new users and advertisers;
·increase our share of advertising budgets from advertisers;
·increase our global market penetration;
·pursue strategic acquisitions; and
·provide further insight into the mobile app economy.

Principal Products and Services

 

Location-based services allow users to connect with others based on their current locations.  In many cases, people use their smartphones (iPhone, Android, Windows) to “check in” to businesses like restaurants, bars, and stores they visit.  Using location-based services for proximity marketing can help retailers in attracting more first-time customers, encouraging more repeat business and increasing sales.  Many of these services also have a gaming component, allowing members to compete against one another or to collect rewards (like online badges) for their activities.  More and more people are beginning to utilize location-based services and as smartphone adoption increases globally, we assume that the numbers will only continue to increase.  The rapid evolution of mobile phones, both on a hardware and a software level, combined with a surge in application storefront releases, deployments of higher-capacity network infrastructure, and recent developments in positioning technologies is expected to drive revenues.

 

We believe that location and granular geo-targeting are actually strong predictors of consumer intent because when and where someone is will likely provide information about what that person may be interested in.  For example, if it is noon and one has opted in to get offers from restaurants, a great promotion available nearby becomes easy to act on. We believe that it is becoming clear to retailers that location-based marketing is an important key to driving foot traffic among consumers who are in the mindset to make a purchase.  Furthermore, we believe that the performance of these programs is demonstrating that mobile phones and location can increase average order value, frequency, and loyalty.

 

We believe that the more technologies that marketers can leverage to pinpoint location and target advertising and messaging, the more relevant they can make their campaigns and the better the response will be from their target consumers.  We also believe that consumers are generally much more receptive to ads that are relevant to them personally.    We believe that location enhances the outbound and inbound media opportunities, allowing brands and retailers to tie their messaging to a specific location and dictate the context of the message.

 

OverNear Mobile App

 

Push Notifications.  OverNear expects to leverage the native high-accuracy network-based hybrid location engine in the Apple iOS and the Android operating systems that allows location to be extracted from the handset on a periodic and continuous basis.  OverNear expects to deploy push notification campaigns to users based on where they are at any given moment, or if they meet any number of other criteria.  As planned, the consumer will “opt in” by downloading the OverNear mobile application to his or her phone and agreeing to receive notifications, but beyond that the consumer’s privacy is protected because the alerts do not require the disclosure of either a phone number or an email address.  Push notifications appear as an alert in the message tray of the customer’s phone screen and can be acted on via messaging even if the OverNear app is not in use.  Unlike other popular apps, there is no check-in required to activate either the user’s location or his or her interest in retrieving an offer or discount.

 

Persistent Location – No Check-Ins Required.  We believe that a persistent location platform, not check-ins, will release the potential of location-based services. For example, someone is walking in the vicinity of a coffee shop and a message appears on his or her phone: "Come on in to the coffee shop (you're a few blocks away and here is a map to get there) and receive 50% off a cappuccino." With the check-in, the coffee shop will only have the ability to message a consumer based on when he or she tells the service his or her exact location.  But what is the likelihood that, as the consumer is walking, he or she will check-in to Facebook?  For the coffee shop or any other business to predictably message a potential customer when he or she is nearby, they are going to require access to the customer’s location on a persistent and continuous basis.  

 

Location-Based Marketing.  Compared to the “daily deal” providers, OverNear is expected to be more effective in reaching potential customers by pushing location-based offers that are triggered by the user’s precise location rather than by the city specified by the user as his or her next closest deal-base.  We believe that brands will be able to target consumers with offers based on their own marketing rules and campaign timing without having to share the revenue and customer information with a second party.  Real-time reporting and analytics should enable the brand or retailer to use adaptive business rules to reach highly targeted consumers.  Rather than a mobile megaphone, OverNear will provide a targeted, brand-specific marketing tool.  Assuming the user is aware that he or she will be activating such access to his or her mobile “inbox,” it will provide a kind of “tell me when…” system for consumers who are either cost-conscious or brand-loyal and who want to be alerted to special offers.  For example, users might be alerted only at certain times of the day based on whether or not they have responded to an earlier campaign or even based on their proximity to retail locations, restaurants, and events.  In that context, the easier and more flexible the marketer’s dashboard, the better the chances of success and the less this will look to the user like mobile spam.

 

7
 

  

OverNear is expected to provide a replacement for daily deal emails that clutter users’ inboxes and never get read.  Because this targeting works through an app’s connection with the Internet, rather than via SMS or MMS, the platform can deliver rich media without the per-message costs, character or size limitations, and extensive approval process associated with SMS, MMS, and email-based marketing.  And there are no carrier-related GPS costs because smart notification technology uses the phone’s internal locator beacon to persistently know consumer location.

 

Adaptive Learning Algorithm.  This is a proprietary algorithm which will monitor and refine the system’s filtering process to produce highly targeted promotions based on each individual’s tastes and preferences. Every promotional offer that will be sent by the merchant will include the quick press buttons “More like this” and “Less like this.”  Based on the responses of the shopper for each of the offers, the system will automatically tailor the user’s personal preferences to match his or her indicated interest levels by type of retailer, promotional offer, day of the week, time of day, etc.

 

Social Toolkit Integration.  Our plan is that every message sent through OverNear will be a social marketing opportunity for the merchant – in the form of tweets to Twitter followers, updates to Facebook fan pages, "likes," "re-tweets," "shares," "follows," and more.  With social toolkit integration, merchants should be able to create and share links to their offers and communications directly from within each application.  OverNear will automatically post a web-version of the offer or email message, and then report related views and clicks in the merchant’s tracking dashboard.

 

Facebook Integration.  For merchants with a Facebook profile page or fan page, our plan is that our technology will allow them to easily publish their offers or email messages and related links to their Facebook news feed and wall directly from within the OverNear application.  When the link is shared, OverNear will automatically post the offer or email message to a message archive center and then track offer redemptions and traffic activity.

 

Linked-In Integration.  With Linked-In integration, our plan is that our app will allow merchants to easily publish their offers to their Linked-In news feed directly from within the OverNear application.  When sharing Linked-In message content, our applications will automatically post the merchants’ messages to their message archive and track visitor activity or coupon redemptions.

 

OverNear Web App

 

Campaign Creation Wizard.  This will be a comprehensive, easy-to-use interface that enables subscribers to create and edit campaigns.  Through intuitive controls, subscribers will be able to readily change colors, fonts, borders, and backgrounds and insert images and logos to help ensure that their messages or offerings appear polished and professional.  The wizard operates on a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” basis whereby a subscriber will be able to change content quickly and view the offer or message prior to launching.

 

Professionally Developed Templates.  These will be pre-designed offer and message forms that are designed to help subscribers quickly create attractive and professional campaigns.  These templates will provide ideas about the kinds of offers, messages, and emails subscribers can send, promotions, and announcements, and will demonstrate, through the use of color and format, the creativity and professionalism of a potential campaign.  An advanced editing functionality will enable subscribers to easily modify the templates.  We also plan to provide templates designed to appeal to specific products and services.  For example, we will include a coupon template for a 25% discount or a ‘buy-one-get-one-free’ offer to promote a restaurant while another retail messaging template can be used to promote a new line of men’s apparel.

 

Security and Privacy.  We expect to protect our subscribers’ data at the highest level possible.  We do not intend to use our subscribers’ confidential information, including their customer/contact lists, except in the delivery of our product, nor will we share, sell, or rent this information.  In addition, we will require our business subscribers to adopt a privacy policy to assist them in complying with government regulations and marketing best practices.

 

8
 

 

Tracking and Reporting.  We plan that the tracking and reporting feature will monitor and analyze merchant promotions and shopper redemptions and tailor recommendations for a promotion based on previous campaigns and concurrent campaigns of other nearby retailers (on an anonymous basis) who have the same business but are located in different geographic regions or experience comparable social and demographic dynamics.  This feature will use a proprietary adaptive learning algorithm to monitor and refine criteria for optimized promotional offers or discount coupons based on redemption rates and other socio-economic statistics gathered over time and from neighboring businesses.

 

We plan to monetize our customer relationships by offering premium levels of service having monthly subscription fees along with other products that we will market directly to our customers.  In addition, we plan to offer product extensions and services that may include those that will be wholly owned and administered by us and those that are executed in partnership with another party.  These will represent an important component of our value planned maximization strategy.  By maintaining alternatives to third-party offers, we expect to make use of a larger proportion of acquired leads generated than would otherwise be the case with only third-party offerings.

 

Industry

 

Background

 

The convergence of several key trends is driving the growth of the mobile app economy and fundamentally changing the way that users consume content on their mobile connected devices. We believe these trends will continue to create a significant opportunity for mobile advertising. These trends include:

 

·Adoption of faster and more functional mobile connected devices. Driven by intuitive user interfaces, increased functionality, faster processing speeds, better graphics processors, and advanced display technologies with touch capabilities, it has become possible to deliver innovative, interactive, and engaging consumer media experiences on a wide variety of mobile connected devices.

 

·Widespread access to faster wireless networks facilitates consumer consumption of content. With the growth of mobile connected devices, consumers increasingly expect to have a high-quality online experience everywhere. Expansion of worldwide 3G network penetration, the rise of next-generation networks, such as 4G, and the prevalence of Wi-Fi access are facilitating the consumption of content on mobile connected devices. The combination of increased network access and faster network technologies is enabling the development of rich media content, presenting new opportunities in the mobile ecosystem.

 

·Mobile usage has disrupted how content is consumed. Consumers are increasingly using their mobile devices instead of personal computers or other traditional media to access content. Mobile devices have become an increasingly important part of daily life, with users relying on mobile connectivity to read newspapers, magazines, and blogs, watch movies, play games, check sports scores, shop, monitor weather forecasts, conduct banking transactions, find maps and directions, and listen to online radio stations.

 

·Growth of the mobile app economy. Developers have created apps as an easy, intuitive, and interactive way to instantly deliver content on mobile devices. Emerging technologies, such as improvements in computer programming languages for structuring and presenting web-based content, have allowed app developers to harness the increasing processing power and functionality of mobile devices and faster networks to deliver more engaging media to users.

 

·Advertising industry is being disrupted by mobile advertising. Traditional advertising media, such as billboards, newspapers, magazines, radio, and television, often suffer from a number of inherent limitations, including limited ability to target specific audiences, limited ability to measure audience reach and, in some cases, limited geographic range. As consumers spend more time online with personal computers, or PCs, digital advertising has proven to be more effective because it allows for user interaction, provides better measurement, and achieves expanded audience reach. However, even PC-based digital advertising suffers from a number of significant limitations with respect to personalization, accessibility, and location-based targeting, all of which can be provided through mobile advertising.

Complexities of Mobile Advertising

 

Despite the growing market opportunity for mobile advertising, companies in our industry must address several complexities and challenges in order to effectively deliver mobile advertising solutions, including:

 

·fragmentation of the mobile ecosystem caused by a wide diversity of device types, numerous operating systems, and varied delivery and user engagement mechanisms;
·limitations in using traditional identification techniques typically used in PC-based web advertising, such as "cookies";
·difficulty in predicting user behavior, including when and where a user will be consuming content on a mobile device;
·varying connection quality that a mobile device may have at any given time; and
·difficulties measuring performance of ads and user interactions with them on mobile connected devices.

 

Needs of Mobile Advertisers

 

Advertisers, to achieve their business objectives in the mobile app context, require scale, reach, and the ability to target and engage specific audiences. Advertisers need solutions that help optimize their investment by delivering effective campaigns across multiple devices and operating systems, maximizing the number of potential consumers the campaigns reach, and then measuring the effectiveness of those campaigns.

 

Market Opportunity

 

Given the benefits of mobile advertising as compared to traditional offline advertising and PC-based online advertising, we expect that brands and retailers will continue to shift their advertising budgets to mobile. Gartner estimates that worldwide mobile advertising revenue, excluding advertising delivered in connection with search requests and maps, will grow from $1.8 billion in 2011 to approximately $13.5 billion in 2015, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate of 65%.

 

Employees

 

As of July 2012, we have three employees, all of whom are full-time.

At a price of $0.10 per unit, the Company raised gross proceeds of $345,000. The Company relied on Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 in making the offering inasmuch as the Company did not engage in any general solicitation or general advertising and offered the securities solely to accredited investors.

 

During October 2011, the Company issued 1,097,500 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $57,250 for consulting services. The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in issuing the common stock inasmuch as the transaction did not involve a public offering and the consultant was an accredited investor.

 

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related notes included therein.

 

Overview and Recent Developments

 

We are an early stage company that is currently developing and plans to market a location-based social networking and mobile advertising platform.  We were formed in July 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of uKarma.  uKarma developed and marketed proprietary branded personal health and wellness products, including a proprietary branded fitness DVD series (Xflowsion).   On June 20, 2011, we changed our name to OverNear, Inc. to reflect our new business plan to develop social networking and mobile advertising services.

 

On August 9, 2010, uKarma’s operating health and wellness business’ assets, including its Xflowsion DVD series, and liabilities were transferred into the Company pursuant to a Contribution Agreement.  Thus, our historical financial results are those of uKarma’s health and wellness business.

 

We began generating revenue in the second quarter of 2007 from uKarma’s health and wellness business, however, this business was never profitable. We plan to monetize the fitness DVD series assets by either selling or licensing the intellectual property and associated products. However, we are not certain about achieving success in this line of business. To date, we have generated no revenues from our planned social networking and mobile advertising services and we are not certain that revenues will be generated from this business in the future.  Our limited history of operations makes prediction of future operating results difficult, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on 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 date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The following accounting policies, which are also described in Note 2 to our financial statements, are critical to aid the reader in fully understanding and evaluating this discussion and analysis:

 

Revenue Recognition: The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In instances where the final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Customers’ prepayments are deferred until products are shipped and accepted by the customers.

 

Inventories: Inventories consist of DVDs and are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. Market is determined by comparison with recent purchases or net receivable value. Management determines the reserve for slow-moving inventory based on historical trends and forecast of sales of the Company’s products, and accordingly recorded a reserve for slow-moving inventory in the amount of $18,092 at December 31, 2011.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed.

 

Software Development Costs: Research and development costs are charged to expenses as incurred. However, the costs incurred for the development of computer software that will be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are capitalized when technological feasibility has been established. These capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in hardware and software technologies. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Amortization is computed as the ratio of current gross revenues for a product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had capitalized software development costs of $133,068. Since the capitalized software is not yet available for general release to customers, no amortization of product development costs is recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Production Costs: Production costs incurred for recording of master copies of the fitness videos are capitalized. The costs are amortized on a straight line method over the estimated economical useful life of the fitness videos, which is estimated to be five years. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred production costs of $619,085, and recorded amortization expense of $123,817 for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to monetize the fitness DVD series, management determined that the remaining production costs were impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $35,587 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Taxes” (“FASB ASC 740”). Under FASB ASC 740, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit.

 

13
 

 

Stock Based Compensation: The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock based compensation. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Generally, all options granted expire ten years from the date of grant.

 

The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“FASB ASC 505-50”). FASB ASC 505-50 states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date).

 

New Accounting Pronouncements: Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

 

The results of operations for the year 2010 present the combined results of operations for the Company and our predecessor for the periods preceding and succeeding our inception.  We had no operations for the period from inception (July 22, 2010) through August 8, 2010.  

 

Sales.  We had no sales during 2011. We did not sell our Xflowsion DVDs while formulating the business plan and strategy for our mobile app business and initiating the development of the software for it. During 2010, we had $873 in sales.

 

Cost of Sales.  As we had no sales during 2011, we had no cost of sales during the year. In comparison, we had $384 in cost of sales during 2010.

 

Gross Profit.   Gross profit during 2010 was $489, representing a gross margin of approximately 56%.  We had no gross profit during 2011 as we had no sales.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SGA). During 2011, our SGA expenses were $1,362,450 which were comparable to total SGA expenses of $1,348,664 during 2010.

 

Impairment loss. Due to the uncertainty regarding our ability to monetize the Xflowsion DVDs, the related assets such as inventory, prepaid royalties and production costs were deemed impaired and accordingly an impairment loss of $110,992 was recorded during 2011. There was no such impairment loss during 2010.

 

Gain on Forgiveness of Debt.  During the years 2011 and 2010, we entered into arrangements with various professional service providers for amounts less than the liability recorded in accounts payable.  The Company’s officers also forgave their deferred compensation during 2011. As a result of these transactions, we recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $237,895 and $103,912 for the years 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss).  We had a net loss of $1,244,801 for the 2011 year compared to a net loss of $1,245,409 for the 2010 year.

LIQUIDITY

 

Cash Flows

 

Comparison of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $657,447 for the year ended December 31, 2011 while net cash used in operating activities was $246,167 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in cash used in operating activities is due primarily to fees related to services provided by consultants.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $113,057 for the year ended December 31, 2011 while net cash used in investing activities was $123,518 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to a significant repayment of amounts due to stockholders in the amount of $121,875 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $108,145 we paid during the year ended December 31, 2011 for the development of software.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $952,099 for the year ended December 31, 2011 while net cash provided by financing activities was $370,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in cash flow from financing activities is due to proceeds from the issuance of our securities in a private placement.

 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of December 31, 2011, we had negative working capital of $244,787. To satisfy current working capital needs, we raised $971,000 through a private placement of our securities during 2011. There is no guarantee that we will be able to meet current working capital needs if we do not receive additional infusions of cash through loans, stock sales, revenues, or other sources. We expect to incur substantial losses over the next two years.

 

As of December 31, 2011, we had cash of $181,995. We have obtained additional capital through an equity financing and intend to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings.

 

Subsequent to the year end, we raised a total of $1,007,000 in a private placement of equity securities.

 

We plan to engage outside contractors and consultants who are willing to be paid in stock rather than cash or a combination of stock and cash. Expenses incurred that cannot be paid in stock, such as auditors' fees, will be paid in cash. There are no assurances that we will be able to meet our capital requirements or that our capital requirements will not increase. We have no committed sources of capital. If we are unable to raise necessary capital to meet our capital requirements, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our location-based social networking and mobile advertising service.

 

Our financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the near term, we expect operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations. As a result, we expect to continue to incur operating losses, and the operations in the near future are expected to continue to use working capital.

 

Our management is actively seeking financing and plans to increase production of its location-based mobile platform and associated marketing to generate revenues. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet our financing arrangements and the success of our future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. The report from our independent registered public accounting firm states that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

OverNear, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of OverNear, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011. 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 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 the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As more fully described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial losses from operations and the Company may not have sufficient working capital or outside financing available to meet its planned operating activities over the next twelve months.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

OVERNEAR, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

OverNear, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated on July 22, 2010 in the State of Nevada as Awesome Living, Inc.  On June 20, 2011, the name of the corporation was changed to be OverNear, Inc.  The Company’s headquarters are located in Beverly Hills, California.

 

The Company is in the process of developing a location-based social networking and mobile advertising platform.

 

The Company’s predecessor business developed and marketed a proprietary branded fitness DVD series that targets individuals who seek to enrich their physical, spiritual, and mental wellness. Through infomercials and other marketing initiatives, the predecessor launched its products.  The Company plans to monetize the fitness DVD series assets by either selling or licensing the intellectual property and associated products. However, the Company is not certain about achieving success in this line of business.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation: On August 9, 2010, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement (“the Agreement”) with uKarma Corporation (“uKarma”) to acquire all of the assets and assume liabilities of uKarma. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 10,558,896 shares of its common stock at par value to uKarma as consideration for the acquired assets and assumed certain liabilities. Upon transfer of the assets and liabilities, the Company continued uKarma’s operations. In the accompanying financial statements, uKarma is referred to as the Predecessor entity. The accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 present combined results of operations for the Company and its Predecessor for the periods preceding and succeeding the inception of the Company. The Company had no operations for the period from inception (July 22, 2010) through August 8, 2010.

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition: The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In instances where the final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Customers’ prepayments are deferred until products are shipped and accepted by the customers.

 

Inventories: Inventories consist of DVDs and are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. Market is determined by comparison with recent purchases or net receivable value. Management determines the reserve for slow-moving inventory based on historical trends and forecast of sales of the Company’s products, and accordingly recorded a reserve for slow-moving inventory in the amount of $18,092 at December 31, 2011.

 

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years. Depreciation expense was $4,377 and $5,138 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized.

 

Software Development Costs: Research and development costs are charged to expenses as incurred. However, the costs incurred for the development of computer software that will be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are capitalized when technological feasibility has been established. These capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in hardware and software technologies. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Amortization is computed as the ratio of current gross revenues for a product to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had capitalized software development costs of $133,068. Since the capitalized software is not yet available for general release to customers, no amortization of product development costs is recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets: The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment no less frequently than annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed.

OVERNEAR, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Intangible assets: Intangible assets consist of a trademark stated at cost which is amortized on a straight-line basis over its statutory life.

 

Production Costs:   Production costs incurred for recording of master copies of the fitness videos are capitalized.  The costs are amortized on a straight line method over the estimated economical useful life of the fitness videos, which is estimated to be five years.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred production costs of $619,085, and recorded amortization expense of $123,817 for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to monetize the fitness DVD series, management determined that the remaining production costs were impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $35,587 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Fair value of financial instruments: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value.

 

Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Taxes” (“FASB ASC 740”). Under FASB ASC 740, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has established for a full reserve against all deferred tax assets.

 

FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on its technical merit.

 

Net Loss Per Share: The Company applies FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common shares available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, except for periods for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Stock Based Compensation:  The Company applies FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” when recording stock based compensation. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Generally, all options granted expire ten years from the date of grant. Compensation expense in the amount of $210,000 and $200,893 related to stock options was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“FASB ASC 505-50”). FASB ASC 505-50 states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date).

 

Reclassifications: Certain items in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements: Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the near term, the Company expects operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses, and its operations in the near future are expected to continue to use working capital.

 

Management of the Company is actively seeking financing and plans to increase production of its location-based mobile platform and associated marketing to generate revenues. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company was able to raise equity of $1,007,000 through the private placement of equity securities. (Also see Note 19.) The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its financing arrangements and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The report from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm states that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On August 9, 2010, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with uKarma Corporation (“uKarma”) to acquire all of the assets and assume the liabilities of uKarma. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 10,558,896 shares of its common stock at par value as consideration for the transfer of uKarma’s assets and liabilities. The Company recorded the acquired assets and assumed the liabilities at their book value on the date of transfer. The acquired assets and liabilities assumed were as follows:

   $(158,635)

 

The excess of purchase price over net assets acquired amounted to $169,194 and was charged to paid-in capital.

 

NOTE 5 – PREPAID EXPENSES

 

The Predecessor entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide consulting and advisory services for the Company and to appear in the Company’s yoga, health, and wellness film productions, to assist in scriptwriting for the projects such as classes, interviews and introductions, to participate in the project rehearsals, and to assist in marketing and promoting the projects. Accordingly, the Company shall pay a royalty to the consultant on all gross revenue, net of returns, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and shipping and handling charges, of 8% on the first $300,000 and 10% above $300,000.

 

Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to monetize the fitness DVD series, management determined that the prepaid royalties in the amount of $57,313 were not recoupable and accordingly recorded an impairment loss.

Income taxes are disproportionate to income due to net operating loss carry-forwards, which are fully reserved. As of the balance sheet date, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,600,000 each, which will begin to expire in 2031 and 2021, respectively. The tax benefit of such net operating losses is recorded as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of such net operating losses to be more likely than not. Based upon the Company’s short term historical operating performance, the Company has established a valuation allowance for any income tax benefit recorded for its net operating loss carry-forwards.

 

The following is a summary of the significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 11 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (continued)

 

The Company has applied the provision of FASB ASC 740, “Income Tax” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FASB ASC 740 requires the recognition of the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on a tax return upon examination by the relevant taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in interest expense and operating expenses, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States of America (“U.S”) and files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California state jurisdiction. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.

 

The reconciliation between the statutory income tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:

 

Statutory federal income tax rate   (34.0)%
State taxes   (6.0)
Stock based compensation   7.0 
Other   8.0 
Valuation reserve for income taxes   25.0 
      
   -

The Plan was subsequently amended on September 13, 2010 and July 1, 2011. Generally, all options granted expire ten years from the date of grant.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, due to the material weaknesses described below.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures:

 

1.      We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.  Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

2.      We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  To the extent possible, however, separate individuals should initiate transactions, have custody of assets, and record transactions.

 

3.      We do not have adequate review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions.  The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported.  The failure to review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information.  Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically feasible.  Management evaluated the impact of the significant number of adjustments as a result of our review and concluded that the resulting control deficiency represented a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures during the year ended December 31, 2011 to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

On August 8, 2011, we formalized our disclosure controls and procedures, and are in the process of utilizing these controls and procedures to determine their effectiveness.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (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.

 

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected in a timely manner.  Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.  Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses described above under “Disclosure Controls and Procedures.”

 

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We discuss remediation above under “Disclosure Controls and Procedures.”

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule15d-15(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Tannous for his services as Chief Financial Officer.  On March 15, 2011, we amended this agreement in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer in addition to his role as our CFO.  This amendment changed the end of his employment term to March 15, 2016.  On August 8, 2011, we amended the provisions regarding any increases in Mr. Tannous’ annual salary.

Mr. Tannous is compensated with an annual salary of $180,000.  Mr. Tannous’ annual salary will increase to $250,000 in the event that either (i) we raise an aggregate $5,000,000 in debt or equity financing after September 13, 2010 or (ii) we recognize $5,000,000 in cumulative gross revenues.  The annual salary will increase to $360,000 in the event that either (i) we raise an aggregate $10,000,000 in debt or equity financing after September 13, 2010 or (ii) we recognize $10,000,000 in cumulative gross revenues.

 

The signing bonus consisted of shares of our common stock valued at $50,000.  Mr. Tannous will also receive a bonus of 5% of our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).  The agreement also calls for 10-year options to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock under our 2010 Stock Option, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) at an exercise price of $0.025 per share, of which 1,000,000 shares became exercisable and the remainder of which will become exercisable at the rate of 1,000,000 shares at the end of each subsequent six month period.

 

As an inducement for accepting the CEO position, Mr. Tannous received 4,000,000 restricted shares of common stock. 

 

In the event of a change of control of the Company prior to the one month anniversary of Mr. Tannous’ termination, Mr. Tannous will be due the greater of (i) the remainder of his annual salary during the term of the agreement and (ii) $250,000, all unvested stock options will become vested, and any unexercised stock options will be paid out as cash in the amount equal to the difference between the consideration paid to the Company on a per share basis less the exercise price of the stock option, the value of which is multiplied by the number of options held by Mr. Tannous.

 

In the event of Mr. Tannous’ termination without cause by the Company, Mr. Tannous will be paid the lesser of (i) the remainder of his annual salary during the term of the agreement and (ii) one year’s salary, and all stock options held by Mr. Tannous under the Plan will immediately vest in full and remain outstanding and exercisable until ten years from the grant date.

 

Bill Glaser

 

On August 3, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Bill Glaser for his services as Chief Executive Officer.  On March 15, 2011, we amended his agreement in connection with his appointment as President following the appointment of Mr. Tannous as our Chief Executive Officer.   This amendment changed the end of his employment term to March 15, 2016.  On August 8, 2011, we amended the provisions regarding any increases in Mr. Glaser’s annual salary.

In the event of a change of control of the Company prior to the one month anniversary of Mr. Glaser’s termination, Mr. Glaser will be due the greater of (i) the remainder of his annual salary during the term of the agreement and (ii) $250,000, all unvested stock options will become vested, and any unexercised stock options will be paid out as cash in the amount equal to the difference between the consideration paid to the Company on a per share basis less the exercise price of the stock option, the value of which is multiplied by the number of options held by Mr. Glaser.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

Please see the section titled “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans” under Item 5 above.

 

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

The following table sets forth the number of shares of our common stock that are currently held by our directors and executive officers and each person who owns beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock based on 52,667,962 shares of common stock outstanding on July 9, 2012.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, which deem a person to beneficially own any shares the person has or shares voting or dispositive power over and any additional shares obtainable within 60 days through the exercise of options, warrants, or other purchase rights. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants, or other rights to purchase that are currently exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days (including shares subject to restrictions that lapse within 60 days) are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such shares, options, warrants or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, each person possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares identified as beneficially owned.

The consulting agreement expired on September 15, 2010.
