(the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 31, 2014 (the "Original Filing"). This Form 10-K/A amends the Original Filing to include the information required by Part III of the Original Filing because the Company has not and will not file a definitive proxy statement within 120 days after the end of its 2013 fiscal year. In addition, this Form 10-K/A amends Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing to include new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Except for the foregoing, we have not modified or updated disclosures presented in the Original Filing in this Form 10-K/A. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A does not modify or update the disclosures in the Original Filing to reflect subsequent events, results or developments or facts that have become known to us after the date of the Original Filing. Information not affected by this amendment remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time the Original Filing was filed. Therefore, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with any documents incorporated by reference therein and our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-K/A contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on our current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. The forward-looking statements may include statements regarding actions to be taken by us. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our business, particularly those mentioned in the section on forward-looking statements and in the risk factors in Item 1A of our Original Filing and in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer

Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman of the Board; Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Lorsch has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since 2005. He is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The RHL Group, Inc., a private equity and business management consulting firm Mr. Lorsch formed in April 1998. In 1994, he co-founded SmarTalk TeleServices, Inc. ("SmarTalk"), with $5000, leading the company through a successful public offering in 1996 and building it into one of the largest providers of prepaid telecommunications products and services. Mr. Lorsch served as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until January 1998, when, with a 500 million dollar market cap, he left the company to remain in Los Angeles while SmarTalk moved its headquarters to Dublin, Ohio. In 1986, Mr. Lorsch founded Lorsch Creative Network, a full-service advertising and sales promotion agency that did marketing, advertising and sales promotion programs for nationally and internationally recognized clients, including the ABC, CBS and NBC television networks, Marvel Entertainment, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald's Corporation and Northrop Grumman, among many others. In 1998, the Lorsch Creative Network became The RHL Group, Inc. (www.rhlgroup.com).

Mr. Lorsch continues to serve as Chairman of the Board of MMR and acts as its Chief Executive Officer.

We believe that Mr. Lorsch's qualifications to continue to serve on our Board of Directors include his 40 years of experience as the chief executive officer of various successful corporations he founded, his knowledge of business management, his experience as a member of numerous organizational committees, his position as our current Chief Executive Officer and his direct responsibility for all areas of our operations.

We believe that Mr. Finley's qualifications to continue to serve on our Board of Directors include his vast expertise in the telecommunications industry with specific marketing expertise in the mobile technology sector and his experience in senior management positions at large corporations.

Ivor Royston, Director. Dr. Royston is a Founding Managing Member of Forward Ventures. From 1990-2000, he served as the founding President and CEO of the non-profit Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. From 1978 to 1990, he was on the faculty of the medical school and cancer center at the University of California, San Diego. In 1978, Dr. Royston was a co-founder of Hybritech, Inc., San Diego's first biotechnology company; and in 1986, he co-founded IDEC Corporation, which merged with Biogen to form Biogen Idec. Dr. Royston currently serves on the boards of directors of HemaQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Biocept, Inc., and Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. He formerly served on the board of directors of LigoCyte Pharmaceuticals, Inc. before its acquisition last year by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited.

In 1997, President Clinton appointed Dr. Royston to a six-year term on the National Cancer Advisory Board.  In 2006, Dr. Royston was inducted into the San Diego Entrepreneur Hall of Fame.

We believe that Dr. Royston's qualifications to serve on our Board of Directors are invaluable to us based on his 35 years of experience as a leader in the biotechnology industry since its inception and, in particular, his more than 12 years of knowledge and experience pertaining to our biotech assets because he served on the Board of Directors of Favrille, Inc. prior to its merger with us in 2009. Dr. Royston's expertise spans the market for our patents, antibody assets and patient samples augmented by his experience as an oncologist, immunologist, venture capitalist and a director of numerous biotech companies, as well as his position as a Founding Managing Member of Forward Ventures.

Board Structure

The Board believed that the Chairman and CEO roles should be combined due to our small size and knowledge which Mr. Lorsch brings to the Company. Splitting the position would hinder our ability to more rapidly exploit new opportunities.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of Section 16(a) forms reports furnished to us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners have been complied with.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all officers, directors and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available in the Corporate Governance section under "Investor Relations" on our website at www.mymedicalrecords.com. If we make any substantive amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grant any waiver from a provision of the Code to any executive officer or director, we will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was established by the Board in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act to oversee our corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our consolidated financial statements. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of the independent auditors; determines and approves the engagement of the independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors or to appoint and engage new independent auditors; reviews and approves the retention of the independent auditors to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; monitors the rotation of partners of the independent auditors on our audit team as required by law; reviews and approves or rejects transactions between the company and any related persons; confers with management and the independent auditors regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting; establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; and meets to review the company's annual audited consolidated financial statements and quarterly consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors, including reviewing our disclosures under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Since July 17, 2013, the members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Finley, Stolar and Helm. The Audit Committee has adopted a written charter that is available to stockholders from the "Investor Relations" page on our website at www.mmrglobal.com.

Although the Company is traded on the OTC:QB, the Board of Directors reviews the Nasdaq listing standards definition of independence for Audit Committee members on an annual basis. In light of compensation received for consulting services, our Board of Directors has determined that the current members of our Audit Committee are not independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing standards). Further, our Board of Directors has determined that, notwithstanding the experience and education of our Audit Committee members, we do not have an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in applicable SEC rules. Given the size of our company and the familiarity of the Audit Committee members with our company, we believe it is not necessary to have such an expert at this time.

Under each employment agreement, the executive officers receive a base salary, subject to annual increases as determined by the board of directors, certain benefits as set forth in the employment agreements, and an annual bonus at the discretion of the board of directors.

On January 29, 2009 we entered into an employment agreement with our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert H. Lorsch, with an initial term ending on December 31, 2011, subject to successive automatic extension unless we or Mr. Lorsch elect not to extend. Under the terms of his agreement, Mr. Lorsch shall serve as both our President and Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Executive Officer of our wholly-owned subsidiary, MMR. The agreement provides for a base salary of $15,000 per month, subject to an upward increase and with an annual bonus and stock option grants in such amounts, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion. Mr. Lorsch receives a monthly auto allowance, reimbursement of certain life insurance premiums, and reimbursement for certain other insurance coverage, and is entitled to participate in benefits generally made to our senior executives.

Mr. Lorsch may terminate the agreement upon 30 days written notice without reason or for good reason (as defined in the agreements) if we fail to cure acts or omissions constituting good reason within 30 days. If Mr. Lorsch's employment is terminated by us for cause or voluntarily by Mr. Lorsch without good reason, he will not be entitled to receive any severance payments or benefits under the employment agreement.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Party Transactions

Our Board of Directors adopted a related party transaction policy, under which all related party transactions shall be presented to the disinterested directors of the Board for review and approval in advance of such transactions. If it is not feasible to obtain advance approval of a related party transaction, such transaction shall be subject to the ratification of the disinterested directors of the Board, and the Company may enter into such transaction prior to obtaining the approval of the disinterested directors only if the terms of such transaction allow it to be rescinded at no cost to the Company in the event it is not ratified by the disinterested directors of the Board.

Other than the agreements and other arrangements set forth below, since January 1, 2013, there have not been any transactions or series of similar transactions to which we were or are a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert H. Lorsch, is also the Chief Executive Officer of The RHL Group, Inc. and has full voting power over all of the capital stock of The RHL Group, Inc. Mr. Lorsch directly and indirectly through The RHL Group, Inc., beneficially owns approximately 14% our total outstanding voting stock. The RHL Group, Inc. has loaned us money pursuant to the Eighth Amended Note and any predecessor notes.

The RHL Group is an investment holding company which provides consulting, operational and technical services to the Company, which we refer to as the RHL Services. As part of the RHL Services, the RHL Group provides the Company with unrestricted access to its internal business and relationship contact database of more than 10,000 persons and entities, which includes clients of the RHL Group and other individuals which may hold value to the Company.

In addition to allowing the Company the use of its office support personnel, the RHL Group has also consented to allow the Company to utilize the full-time services of Mr. Lorsch as the Company's President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which requires substantial time and energy away from his required duties as The RHL Group's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

On September 15, 2009, we entered into a five year agreement with E-Mail Frequency, LLC and David Loftus, Managing Partner of E-Mail Frequency, LLC, a significant stockholder of the Company.

The agreement allows us to market, through the use of the Database, our MyMedicalRecords PHR, MyEsafeDepositBox virtual vault, and MMRPro document management system to physicians and their patients. Under the terms of the Agreement, we paid $250,000 to David Loftus as a one-time consulting fee in the form of 2,777,778 shares of our common stock. We recorded the $250,000 one-time licensee fee as a prepaid consulting fee. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $50,000.

We included in related party payables at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $64,615 and $49,595, respectively, in respect to these services. Furthermore, Mr. Loftus is a value-added-reseller of MMRPro systems. We recognized $18,421 and $67,883 in revenue from E-Mail Frequency for the sale of MMRPro systems, during 2013 and 2012, respectively.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The following table represents aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 by Rose, Snyder & Jacobs. Rose, Snyder & Jacobs performed the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. All fees described below were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to our pre-approval policy also discussed below.

      Fiscal Years Ended
      2013     2012
Audit Fees   $ 102,000    $ 103,500 
Audit Related Fees     4,000      9,300 
Total Fees   $ 106,000    $ 112,800 

Audit Fees include the audit of the Company's annual financial statements presented in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10- K, reviews of interim financial statements presented in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and accounting, reporting and disclosure consultations related to those audits and fees related to consents and reports in connection with regulatory filings.

The Company's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Rose, Snyder & Jacobs, and has concluded that the provision of such services to the degree utilized is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Company's registered public accounting firm. All services provided by Rose, Snyder & Jacobs in 2012 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee after review of each of the services proposed for approval.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy for auditor services, which allows the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to engage the independent registered public accountants, on a case-by-case basis, to consult with our management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions or events and/or the actual or potential impact of final or proposed rules, standards or interpretations by the SEC, Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory or standard- setting bodies.  In addition, the Audit Committee may periodically obtain from the independent registered public accountants estimates of anticipated fees for services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services, and tax services for a specified accounting period and pre-approves services in such categories up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as part of the Audit Committee's approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual explicit case-by-case basis before the independent registered public accountants are engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee's members, but the decision must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The members of the Audit Committee approved the fees during subsequent meetings of the Audit Committee.
