FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “should”, “would”, “could”, or “may”, or other such words, verbs in the future tense and words and phrases that convey similar meaning and uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward–looking statements. There are a number of important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward–looking statements. While we make these forward–looking statements based on various factors and using numerous assumptions, you have no assurance the factors and assumptions will prove to be materially accurate when the events they anticipate actually occur in the future. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this annual report on Form 10-K.

 

The forward–looking statements are based upon our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time we make these statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward–looking statements as (i) these statements are neither predictions nor guaranties of future events or circumstances, and (ii) the assumptions, beliefs, expectations, forecasts and projections about future events may differ materially from actual results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward–looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the date of this report.

   

 

 
 

PART I

 

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

(a) General Business Development

 

Corporate History

 

800 Commerce, Inc. (the “Company” or “800 Commerce”) was formed in the State of Florida on February 10, 2010. The Company was founded for the purpose of marketing credit card processing services on behalf of merchant payment processing service providers.

 

On June 20, 2012 the Board of Directors approved a stock dividend whereby the Company issued two (2) additional shares of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, the Company issued 12,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Dividend Shares”) on July 5, 2012. Immediately subsequent to the issuance of the Dividend Shares, the Company had 18,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

On August 9, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, whereby the Company has registered 6,000,000 shares of its’ common stock owned by Agritek Holdings, Inc. (“Agritek”). Agritek distributed the 6,000,000 shares of common stock to their shareholders of record as of September 3, 2013. The shares were distributed on September 4, 2013.

  

(b) Financial Information about Segments

 

The Company currently operates in one reporting segment

 

(c) Narrative Description of Business

 

The Company commenced revenue producing activities based on the marketing of credit processing services in March 2010. The Company generates revenue from the marketing of credit processing services by way of fees received from merchant payment processing service providers on whose behalf the Company brokers their processing services. On August 1, 2012, the Company began to receive additional revenue pursuant to a processing service provider’s assignment to the Company of a portion of its fee income under one or more of its service contracts in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of our common stock.

 

In addition to marketing credit card processing services, the Company also has developed on-line portals and mobile applications offering directories of professional service providers. The Company has completed its’ initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however the Company has not commenced revenue producing operations by way of the medical directory. The Company intends to maintain its 800 short code and platform, which will be used to run its medical portal and service other developments.

 

Products and Services

 

Merchant Payment Processing Business

 

Currently, 100% of our revenues are derived as agent for electronic merchant payment processing services. On August 1, 2012, the Company began to receive additional revenue pursuant to a processing service provider’s assignment (the “Assignment Agreement”) to the Company of a portion of its fee income under one or more of its service contracts in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Approximately 97% and 99% of the Company’s revenues were as a result of the Assignment Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company has entered into agent referral agreements with merchant payment processing service providers, including PayVentures, LLC and FrontStream Payments, Inc., pursuant to which we receive a commission based on a percentage of the net revenue received by the payment processor from customers the Company’s introduces to them. These merchant payment processing services include payment solutions that are available to both bricks and mortar businesses and online businesses worldwide.  The electronic payment processing services the Company sells enable the clients to accept all major credit cards, debit cards and ATM cards, as well as many other forms of payment.  These other payment forms include payroll cards, gift cards, loyalty program cards, ACH check drafts, money transfers and pay-by-check verification/guarantee services.  The payment gateway platform offered by the Company’s merchant processors are accessible via websites, retail stores, mail order, telephone order call centers, wireless terminals and hand held devices. 

4
 

 The licensed payment gateway platforms offered by our merchant processors comply with the Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) Data Security Standard.  PCI was developed by the major credit card companies as a guideline to help organizations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud, cracking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats.  A company processing, storing, or transmitting payment card data must be PCI compliant or risk losing its ability to process credit card payments and being audited and/or fined.  Merchants and payment card service providers must validate their compliance periodically. We also market re-branding, private label or “white label,” of the payment gateway platforms offered by our merchant processors.  White labeling enables our merchant clients to appear to their customers as if they “own the payment network.”

 

Our suite of e-commerce payment services include:

 

  merchant processing customized solutions

  private label gateway

  credit card acceptance

  private label debit card issuance

  e-commerce processing

  gift, payroll and loyalty cards

  check services

  wireless/mobile payment platforms

  ACH

 

“MY800” PORTALS

 

The Company owns the phone number 800-COMMERCE, and has been approved by US Short-Codes for use and operation of the international short code “MY800” (69800) with the use of unlimited keywords. The Company has been approved for use of its’ MY800 or 69800 shortcode by such mobile phone carriers including Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, Nextel and others.  The Company plans to introduce and market a suite of consumer services via online directories, designed for a marketing and lead generation business, to be built on the “MY800” theme available to consumers online and via their mobile devices. The Company has completed the initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however revenue producing operations by way of our medical directory has not yet commenced. The Company expects to commence the marketing of the medical directory in the second calendar quarter of 2014, and hopes to commence receipt of revenue from the marketing of the medical directory in the third quarter of 2014, however there can be no assurance we will be able to do so or that we will be successful in generating any revenues from our planned lead generating business model.

 

The Company has purchased a number of URLs for this business purpose including: www.800commerce.com, www.my800doctor.com, www.my800realtor.com, www.my800creditrepair.com, my800lawyer.com, www.my800homeloan.com, www.my800travel.com, among others. Each directory will be enhanced with the Company’s mobile platform enabling mobile devices and a SMS feature to provide two-way text message communication between the service provider and consumer.  The Company’s directory portal business model will seek to complete a transaction by providing consumers with an easy way to (i) find information to help them make informed decisions; (ii) compare offers from various companies that offer the respective product or service, and (iii) help them easily complete their transaction. Most of the services are free for consumers, with merchants paying for directory listings, premium placement and use of keywords under the MY800 SMS mobile platform.

 

My800Doctor.com

 

The Company’s first 800 directory is available on our website, www.My800Doctor.com, as an interactive health and wellness portal. The portal allows consumers to choose a personal physician, dentist or health and wellness professional from our acquired database of over 400,000 medical professionals, make an appointment online and receive mobile and email confirmation of the appointment. In the future, we plan to provide a variety of proprietary content from the site and offer medical processionals the ability to market services and products via SMS text messaging. My800doctor.com, through various partnerships, intends to offer to this network of 400,000 private physician’s premium services either for 1) preferred listing within a specific practice and zip code location for a monthly fee or 2) online appointment setting fee for each appointment made via the online form at MY800doctor.com, without committing to a monthly fee.  Management believes that the MY800 platform will offer value added services including the above functionality as well as additional options including SMS appointment and prescription alerts. If we are not able to sell these services to our database of physicians, we will not realize any revenue.

“My800” Mobile Platform

In addition to the Company’s web-based MY800 directories, the Company intends to offer the directories via a mobile application. The “MY800” Mobile Marketing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform is planned to be a hosted solution enabling clients to develop, execute, and manage a variety of engagements to a consumer’s mobile phone. The Company has completed the development of the platform and plans to begin marketing of the platform in the second quarter of 2014. The platform is intended to offer SMS, MMS, and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) interactions, which can be facilitated via a set of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Reporting and analytics capabilities are also planned to be available to users through our MY800 mobile platform.

 

The Company intends that the 800 Commerce mobile marketing platform and the “MY800” brand will help create an easy and convenient way for businesses to further ingrain top-of-mind awareness with customers through mobile connectivity with their customers. Once completed, consumers will be able to access a particular search engine by texting MY800 (followed by the category name) and receive a text reply identifying multiple service providers within the consumer’s immediate geographic area, thereby providing a simpler and direct approach to receiving answers and connecting directly to a vendor of choice.

 

The Company plans to generate revenue from licensing the Company’s shortcode with specific keywords to clients within our MY800 directories and mobile platform in software as a service (Saas) model, per-message and per-minute transactional fees, and customized professional services. 800 Commerce plans to charge each merchant/client in every category or for each keyword listing on a monthly, recurring basis. The user, after “opting in” to the MY800 texting database, will receive free listings of every business within the chosen category. The Company believes that merchants will pay a premium for placement within the list of 800 vendors in the returned text message with direct dial access to their business available to the consumer. Clients may also agree to pay for lead generation services created by the mobile engine of MY800.

 

Employees

 

Other than our executive officers we do not have any employees.

The Company has entered into agreements with various third party service providers and independent contractors to assist in its development and execution of our business plan.  

Sales and Marketing Strategy

 
The Company plans to utilize direct response advertising and marketing campaigns, including billboard advertising and Internet to attract visitors to the Company’s portal websites, as well as to the Company’s mobile applications. The methods of advertising used and the level of advertising investment will vary based on a variety of factors that influence the effectiveness of direct response advertising. Management believes that this business model and revenue plans will have success based on other lead generating business models, whereby the Company is connecting third parties (for example; doctors, lawyers and realtors) directly with consumers who have initiated the contact. Management believes the more consumers are aware of the various products, the more leads will be generated and therefore more revenues will be realized by the Company.

 

Internet and affiliate marketing targets various demographics by advertising on publisher websites and on search engines, most commonly with keyword-based text ads, as well as with banners and contextual banners, focused on generating potential customers by driving traffic to our websites. Internet marketing also reaches customers who are using the web on their smart phones.

 

Mobile phone marketing will target mobile phone users, and provide the ability to specifically target owners of smart phones in general and certain specific models.

 

Our specific marketing plan consists of: 

 

Online Advertising Campaigns

The Company will negotiate and utilize online advertising campaigns with services such as Yahoo! and Google AdWords to ensure that the company name reaches as many people as possible.  Google AdWords provides pay-per-click ads on search pages linking consumers directly to the 800 Commerce online directories.

6
 

Email Newsletters

Email newsletters are the paper-free option of the 21st century, enabling businesses to stay in contact with customers or even potential customers, by letting them know about company news, promotional advertising or other company events. 800 Commerce will sponsor and pay for advertising in highly targeted email newsletters in relevant industries consistent with our online portals.

 

Billboard Campaigns

 

800 Commerce will negotiate billboard campaigns for our online portal “My800Doctor” and “My800Lawyer” in metropolitan areas such as South Florida, Southern California and Las Vegas. Placement of the Company’s online portals on these billboards will help create viral campaigns and site traffic for online portals and increase brand awareness of the “MY800” shortcode with various key words such as “Doctor” and Lawyer” or “Injury” by consumers and replace numerous 800 numbers presently used by attorneys and medical professionals for ease of use.

 

Each campaign will be carefully monitored to ensure the highest returns, factoring in revenue and cost, as well as conversion rates at each phase of the process. By optimizing our advertising to focus on the most successful campaigns, we will ensure the highest returns on our investments and can consistently deliver the most cost efficient customer lead costs to our partners. These benefits will be amplified even further as we increase the levels of our advertising investments going forward.

 

Competition

 

While management believes we serve a niche market, the larger market for mobile applications and marketing is intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Barriers to entry are relatively low, many of our potential competitors are larger and have more resources than we do, and with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. If we fail to compete effectively, our operating results will be harmed. Some of our principal competitors may offer their products at a lower price, which would result in pricing pressures. If we are unable to maintain competitive pricing, our future operating results could be negatively impacted.

 

We cannot be considered a significant participant in any of the markets in which we compete. Many competitors offering the same or similar services to what we offer are well established with high brand recognition, large economies of scale and substantially greater resources, financial and otherwise. We also compete against small companies who specialize in industries and provide custom services. These businesses are highly automated and capital-intensive. The profitability of individual market participants depends on efficient operations, as services are sold largely based on cost.

 

The Company is seeking to position itself in a niche market by providing high volume merchants a very competitive pricing model per transaction, excellent gateway technology, superior customer service, and features not available from other gateways such as merchant terminal integration, ACH, and recurring billing, to name a few. Currently, there are in excess of 5 million Internet merchants with nearly 5,000 new ones opening on a daily basis requiring a shopping cart and payment gateway. (Statistics gathered from SIC Code Info and the Green Sheet, an industry trade source).

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before investing in our common stock. If any of the events anticipated by the risks described below occur, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected which could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock, causing you to lose all or part of your investment.

 

In addition to the forward-looking statements outlined in the preceding topic in this Annual Report and other comments regarding risks and uncertainties included in the description of our business and elsewhere in this Annual Report, the following risk factors should be carefully considered when evaluating our business. Our business, financial condition and financial results could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. The following risk factors do not include factors or risks which may arise or result from general economic conditions that apply to all businesses in general or risks that could apply to any issuer or any offering.

 

Risk Related to Our Corporation

 

Our auditors have raised substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Since inception in February 2010, we have experienced recurring losses from operations, and these losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,649,832 as of December 31, 2014. Other than the Assignment Agreement, the Company generates only minimal revenues and the Company continues to experience operating losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase and we will continue to incur substantial losses in future periods until we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and cash flow. There are no assurances that we will be able to increase our revenues and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations and provides sufficient funds to pay our obligations. If we are unable to meet those obligations, we could be forced to cease operations, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. Accordingly, we will not be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for as long as we are an emerging growth company. As a newly public company, our management can wait until our second annual report on Form 10-K as a public company to issue our annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last date of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under this registration statement; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act. We will be deemed a large accelerated filer on the first day of the fiscal year after the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, measured on October 31.

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions available to emerging growth companies. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

8
 

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company,” at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company,” the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company,” or a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings, are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, are not required to conduct say-on-pay and frequency votes until annual meetings occurring on or after January 21, 2013, and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.

 

Because we have elected to defer compliance with new or revised accounting standards, our financial statement disclosure may not be comparable to similar companies.

  

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of our election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We have incurred losses from operations since inception and continued losses threaten our ability to remain in business and pursue our business plan.

 

Since inception in 2010, we have incurred cumulative losses of approximately $1,649,832 from operations. We anticipate incurring additional losses from operating activities in the near future. Even if we are able to obtain additional debt or equity funding, you have no assurance we will be able achieve profitability in our operations. Until we achieve break even between revenues and expenses, we will remain dependent on obtaining additional debt and equity funding. Without sufficient revenues, we may be unable to create value in our common stock, to pay dividends and to become a going concern. And, our lack of or expectation of profitability in the near future, if at all, can be expected to hamper our efforts to raise additional debt or equity funding. In the event we do not become profitable within a reasonable period of time, we may cease operations, in which event you will lose your entire investment.

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for you to evaluate the merits of purchasing our common stock.

 

We have been in business for just over three years and are an early revenue-stage enterprise. Our limited revenues and sales do not provide a sufficient basis for you to assess our business and prospects. You have no assurance we will be able to generate sufficient revenues from our business to reach a break-even level or to become profitable in future periods. We are subject to the risks inherent in any new business in a highly competitive marketplace. Products and services that we have recently introduced or plan to introduce in the near future increase our new-business risks and your difficulty in assessing our prospects. You must consider the likelihood of our success in light of the problems, uncertainties, unexpected costs, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in developing and expanding a new business and the competitive environment in which we operate. If we fail to successfully address these risks, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed. Your purchase of our common stock should be considered a high risk investment because of our unseasoned, early stage business which may likely encounter unforeseen costs, expenses, competition and other problems to which such businesses are often subject.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company. These costs will adversely impact our results of operations.

 

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that a private company does not incur. We estimate these costs to be approximately $50,000 annually and include the costs associated with having our financial statements prepared, audited and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) via EDGAR (the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system) and XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) costs. In addition, we have costs associated with our transfer agent. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) and related rules resulted in an increase in costs of maintaining compliance with the public reporting requirements, as well as making it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance. These added costs will delay the time in which we may expect to achieve profitability, if at all.

Our management may not devote sufficient time to our business and affairs because of their management positions in other public and private enterprises. Without adequate management attention, we may not be able to establish our business and you risk the loss of your entire investment.

 

Each of our executive officers will devote a portion of his working time to at least one other publicly traded company, including Agritek, and in more than one other publicly traded company and private business activities. Without sufficient attention to our business and affairs by our management, our operations may suffer and we may be unable to achieve our potential and become profitable. Risks resulting from lack of profitability are described in preceding risk factors, and include a risk that we will not be able to maintain ongoing operations.

 

Our officers, directors, consultants and advisors are not obligated to commit their time and attention exclusively to our business and therefore they may encounter conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation of time between our operations and those of other businesses.

 

Our directors are not obligated to commit their time and attention exclusively to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter conflicts of interest in allocating their own time between our operations and those of other businesses.

 

Currently, B. Michael Friedman, our President and Director, and Barry Hollander, our Chief Financial Officer, each commit between 25% and 50% of their time to our business in their capacities as officers and directors. Nevertheless, if the execution of our business plan demands more time than is currently committed by any of our officers, directors, consultants or advisors, they will be under no obligation to commit such additional time, and their failure to do so may adversely affect our ability to carry on our business and successfully execute our business plan.

 

If you invest in our stock, your investment may be disadvantaged by future funding, if we are able to obtain it.

 

To the extent we obtain equity funding by issuance of convertible securities or common stock, or common stock purchase warrants in connection with either type of funding, you may suffer significant dilution in percentage of ownership and, if such issuances are below the then value of stockholder equity, in stockholder equity per share. Future increases in the number of our shares outstanding will have a negative impact on earnings per share; increasing the earnings we must achieve to sustain higher prices for our common stock. In addition, any debt financing we may secure could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital with which to pursue our business plan, and to pay dividends. You have no assurance we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.

 

Loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 

We are particularly dependent upon our current executive management during the period before we achieve commercially sustainable operations, of which we can provide no assurance. The termination of one or more members of our current executive management, all of whom we employ on a part-time basis, for any reason in the near future could be expected to have a materially adverse effect on us because we only have three members of management at the date of this Annual Report and we believe we cannot employ replacements for any of them who would have their level of dedication to, vision for and financial interest in us. Furthermore, it is probable any qualified replacements would require full-time employment with salary and benefits which can be expected to exceed our financial resources in the foreseeable future.

Voting control by management and two other persons means it is unlikely you and other stockholders will be able to elect our directors and you will have little influence over our management.

 

Currently, management owns approximately 31% of the Company’s common stock, and two individuals own approximately 11% and 9% of the Company’s common stock. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each nominee for a directorship and on other matters presented to stockholders for approval. Our Articles of Incorporation do not authorize cumulative voting for the election of directors. Any person or group who controls or can obtain more than fifty percent of the votes cast for the election of each director, as does management and the two other stockholders in the aggregate, will control the election of all directors and other stockholders will not be able to elect any directors or exert any influence over management decisions. Removal of a director for any reason requires a majority vote of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

We have assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting and management concluded they are not effective. If there is a material weakness in either, there are no assurances that our financial statements will not contain errors which could require us to restate our financial statements.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) requires public companies to establish disclosure controls and procedures and controls over financial reporting and to periodically assess the effectiveness of the controls and procedures. Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Annual Report is part, we will be required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and thereafter to report on a quarterly basis, in our quarterly and annual reports which we will file the SEC, our management’s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.. As of December 31, 2014, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at December 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.

 

We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

 

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 

Lack of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

We have discussed the material weaknesses noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

A significant part of our business plan depends on marketing of our products and services, which may not be accepted in the marketplace.

 

Our industry is extremely competitive and we have a very small market share. In order to achieve successful operations we will depend on effective marketing to gain a significantly larger market share. At the date hereof, other than our officers and directors, we do not have any employees. We do not engage independent sales representatives. We do not employ a marketing agency. Employing a greater number of marketing personnel or a marketing agency would require greater financial resources than we currently possess. Furthermore, our ability to attract independent sales representatives may be limited without greater name recognition, an advertising campaign and market penetration. Unless we are able to address these limitations in our marketing capabilities, you may expect our revenues to be limited and we may have difficulty staying in business. And under such circumstances, our stock would not gain in value.

 

11
 

We operate in and plan to expand into extremely competitive environments, which will make it difficult for us to achieve market recognition and revenues.

 

We operate in an extremely competitive environment and the markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles and evolving industry standards. Our success depends, in substantial part, on the timely and successful introduction of our new products and services and thereafter upgrades of our products and services to comply with emerging industry standards and to address competing technological and product developments by our competitors. The research and development of new, technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation and investment, as well as the accurate anticipation of technology, market trends and customer needs. We may focus our resources on technologies that do not become widely accepted, are not timely released or are not commercially viable. In addition, our products may contain defects or errors that are detected only after deployment. If our products are not competitive or do not work properly, our business could suffer and our financial performance could be negatively impacted. You have no assurance that our new products and services, which we intend to be a significant part or our business, will be accepted in the marketplace. If our products and services do not achieve market acceptance, our revenues will be significantly below the level we anticipate.

 

We face many risks relating to intellectual property rights.

 

Our business could be harmed if: (1) we, our customers and/or our suppliers are found to have infringed intellectual property rights of third parties, (2) the intellectual property indemnities in our supplier agreements are inadequate to cover damages and losses we suffer due to infringement of third-party intellectual property rights by our suppliers’ products, (3) we are required to indemnify our customers for significant amounts under agreements providing for intellectual property indemnities that have been entered into with some of our customers, (4) our intellectual property protection is inadequate to protect our proprietary rights, (5) the indemnity rights passed through by our customers are insufficient, or (6) our competitors negotiate significantly more favorable terms for licensed intellectual property. 

 

Our business will rely on text messaging services, and any fees for the sending or receiving of messages could adversely affect our revenue and business.

 

Our business will be dependent upon text messaging services. In most cases, the mobile communication networks charge a fee to the sender or receiver of a text message. The fees charged by the mobile communication networks could have a material adverse effect on the market’s acceptance of our proposed mobile directories and mobile marketing via text messaging. Because of the importance of messaging services to our business, if we are unable to successfully deliver messages to our potential subscribers, or if subscribers opt-out of receiving our messages, the success of our proposed mobile directories and mobile marketing would be adversely affected.

 

We derive a substantial part of our revenue from one merchant service provider pursuant to an Assignment Agreement. If this Agreement is cancelled or terminated for any reason, our revenues, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

We received approximately 97% and 99% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement. Per the terms of the Assignment Agreement, as amended on October 1, 2012, a merchant service provider assigned thirty percent (30%) of their rights to receive residual payments from certain Assigned Customer(s), in exchange for five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock. The term of the Assignment Agreement commenced on September 1, 2012 and shall continue for a period of one (1) year after which it shall renew for successive one year terms automatically, unless terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. Either party has the right to terminate this Agreement at the end of the then current Term, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. The merchant service provider may terminate the Agreement at any time on thirty (30) days written notice to 800 Commerce provided however, that if such termination is without default or other material cause by 800 Commerce, then the Company shall continue to receive the referral fees contemplated therein despite such termination, subject to the other provisions thereof that survive termination. If we lose this merchant service provider or they reduce the amount of business they do with us, our revenues and profitability would be adversely affected. In addition, we are subject to credit risk due to concentration of our trade accounts receivables, and the inability of the Assignor of the Assignment Agreement to meet its obligations to us would adversely affect our financial results. At December 31, 2014, accounts receivable from the Assignor amounted to 98% of accounts receivable. Although we are making efforts to reduce our dependency on the Assignment Agreement, we believe this concentration of sales to one customer will continue in the near future.

 

12
 

Existing federal, state and foreign laws regulating email and text messaging marketing practices impose certain obligations on the senders of commercial emails and text messages, which could increase our operating expenses to the extent financial penalties, are triggered.

 

The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or CAN-SPAM Act, establishes certain requirements for commercial email messages and specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content. The CAN-SPAM Act, among other things, obligates the sender of commercial emails, and someone who initiates commercial emails, to provide recipients with the ability to opt out of receiving future emails from the sender. In addition, some states have passed laws regulating commercial email practices that are significantly more punitive and difficult to comply with than the CAN-SPAM Act, particularly Utah and Michigan, which have enacted do-not-email registries listing minors who do not wish to receive unsolicited commercial email that markets certain covered content, such as adult content or content regarding harmful products. Some portions of these state laws may not be preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act. We, our endorsers and our advertisers may all be subject to various provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act. If we are found to be subject to the CAN-SPAM Act, we may be required to change one or more aspects of the way we operate our business, including eliminating the option for endorsers to send emails containing our advertisers’ messages or by not allowing endorsers to receive compensation directly or indirectly as a result of distributing emails containing our advertisers’ messages.

 

If we were found to be in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, other federal laws, applicable state laws not preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act, or foreign laws regulating the distribution of commercial email, whether as a result of violations by our endorsers or any determination that we are directly subject to and in violation of these requirements, we could be required to pay penalties, which would adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our reputation and our business.

 

Risks Relating to Investment in our Shares

  

You may find it difficult to sell our shares because there is no public market for our common stock and you have no assurance a public market will develop.

 

There is no public market for our common stock and there are no assurances a public market will ever be established. While the Company has taken steps to secure a quotation of our common stock on the OTC Quotation Board of OTC Markets (“OTCQB”) following the completion of the spin-off, this is a lengthy process and there are no assurances we will be successful. Even if our common stock is ultimately quoted on the OTCQB, there are no assurances a liquid market for our stock will ever develop.

  

No broker-dealer has committed to create or maintain a market in our common stock.

 

We have no agreement with any broker or dealer to act as a market maker for our common stock following the spin-off and there are no assurances we will be successful in obtaining any market makers. As a result, no broker or dealer will have any incentive to make a market for our common stock. The lack of one or more market makers for our securities could adversely influence the market price for our common stock, as well as your ability to dispose of your shares of our common stock received in the spin-off, or to obtain accurate information about and/or quotations on our common stock.

  

"Penny stock” rules may make buying and selling our common stock difficult.

 

We expect trading in our common stock will be subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market.   The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock and limiting the number of broker-dealers who will accept our common stock in their customers’ accounts.  As a result, you may find it more difficult to sell our common stock into the public market.

  

Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

 

Through February 2013, the Company utilized general office space at 477 South Rosemary Avenue, Suite 203, West Palm Beach, Florida, 33401 for our executive office and software development activities. The space was leased by a company that is controlled by our President. Effective June 1, 2013, the Company began leasing office space in Detroit, Michigan. The lease covers approximately 1,722 square feet, is for two years with monthly rent of $1,950 for the first year and $2,010 for the second year.

In November 2013, the Company was notified that the landlord was delinquent in their obligations to the mortgage holder of the building where the Company is leasing its office space.

 

In January 2014, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s lease in Detroit, Michigan, the Company decided to relocate its administrative offices to West Palm Beach, Florida. Effective April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a rent sharing agreement for the use of 1,300 square feet with a company controlled by the Company’s CFO. The Company has agreed to pay $750 per month for the space.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The independent auditor’s reports on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 11 to the audited consolidated financial statements.

15
 

While our financial statements are presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditor’s have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $153,987 compared to $239,887 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The company had a net loss $139,558 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $692,050 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Negative cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2014 was a result of the net loss and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $8,846 and by the gain on marketable securities of $7,054. The 2013 net loss was impacted by non-cash expenses of stock and option compensation expense of $393,250. The stock-based compensation expense is comprised of the vesting of options to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock, valued at $147,000, the issuance of 900,000 shares of common stock for patent rights resulting in stock based compensation of $225,000 and the amortization of $21,250 prepaid stock compensation for consulting services. Also included in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013, was the non-cash amortization of deferred equity consideration for customer acquisition costs of $72,917 as a result of the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the initial one year term of the Assignment Agreement. Additional non-cash expenses for the year ended December, 2013 were the amortization of the initial discount of $22,465 on the convertible note. These non-cash add-backs were partially offset by a gain recorded on the sale of marketable securities of $67,840 and the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $8,298.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $54,737, comprised of $75,541 advanced in exchange for a note receivable and payment of security deposits of $700, reduced by receipts of $16,554 from the sale of marketable securities and repayments of $4,950 on the note receivable. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $130,959 as a result of $134,388 received from the sale of marketable securities less the purchase of office furniture of $1,929 and the payments related to patent costs of $1,450.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $208,313 compared to $72,222 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The 2014 amount was comprised of a repayment of $7,000 on the convertible note and increases of $215,313 in amounts due shareholders for services provided to the Company and expenses paid for the Company. The 2013 financing activity was comprised of repayments of $43,000 on the convertible note and an increase of $115,222 in amounts due shareholders for services provided and expenses for the Company.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $411 compared to a decrease of $36,706 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Ending cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2014 was $3,501 compared to $3,912 at December 31, 2013.

 

The Company has limited cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company maintains its’ daily operations and capital needs through revenue from our marketing of credit processing services by way of fees we receive from merchant payment processing service providers on whose behalf we broker their processing services, as well as from the sale of marketable securities the Company owns. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold 50,000 shares of Agritek common stock it owned and realized proceeds of approximately $16,554 from the sales.

 

In addition to marketing credit card processing services, the Company also has developed on-line portals and mobile applications offering directories of professional service providers. The Company has completed its’ initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however the Company has not commenced revenue producing operations by way of the medical directory. The Company intends to maintain its 800 short code and platform, which will be used to run its medical portal and service other developments.

 

We will need to raise funds to continue to be able to support our operating expenses and to meet our other obligations as they become due. Sources available to us that we may utilize include the sale of unsecured convertible debentures from unaffiliated investors which may cause dilution to our stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its processors. The Company charges certain merchants for processing services at a bundled rate based on a percentage of the dollar amount of each transaction and, in some instances, additional fees are charged for each transaction. The Company charges other merchant customers a flat fee per transaction, and may also charge miscellaneous fees to customers, including fees for returns, monthly minimums, and other miscellaneous services. All the charges and collections thereon flow through processors who then remit the fee due the Company within the month following the actual charges.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred.

 

Patents

 

The Company capitalizes patent pending acquisition costs, legal fees and filing costs associated with the development and filing of its patents.  Patents are generally amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years using the straight-line method beginning on the issue date.  No amortization expense was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as the Company’s patents are still pending as of December 31, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which commissions are earned. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.

 

The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

 

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of marketable securities. Marketable securities are adjusted to fair value each balance sheet date, based on quoted prices; which are considered level 1 inputs (see Note 5). The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.

 

The Company’s derivative liability resulting from the issuance of convertible debt is adjusted to fair value based on recent sales of the underlying common stock and the use of an option pricing model, which are consistent with level 3 inputs. See Note 6.

The following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for each fair value hierarchy level: 

 

The following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for each fair value hierarchy level:

 

   Derivative  Marketable   
December 31, 2014  Liability  Securities  Total
Level I  $—     $30,000   $30,000

Level I  $—     $72,150   $72,150 
Level II  $—     $—     $ 
Level III  $6,373   $—     $6,373 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties.

 

The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2010 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included options to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

  

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation 

 

The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.

 

21
 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Items included in the Company’s comprehensive loss consist of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

A review and evaluation was performed by the Company's management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2014 disclosure controls and procedures, were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

22
 

Our Principal Executive Officer and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014 as described below.

 

We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

 

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 

Lack of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

We are committed to improving the internal controls and will (1) consider to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

 

We have discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

 

We adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing. This Code applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, controller, principal accounting officer and other employees performing similar functions. The obligations of the Code of Ethics supplement, but do not replace, any other code of conduct or ethics policy applicable to our employees generally.

 

24
 

Under the Code of Ethics, all members of the senior financial management shall:

 

Act honestly and ethically in the performance of their duties at our company,
Avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships,
Provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications by our company,
Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments and other private and public regulatory agencies that effect the conduct of our business and our financial reporting,

Corporate Governance

 

There have been no material changes to procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

 

We currently have no standing audit or nominating committees of our Board of Directors. Our entire Board of Directors currently performs these functions.

  

Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors currently has two directors and has no standing sub-committees at this time due to the associated expenses and the small size of our board. We are not currently listed on a national securities exchange that has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be independent.

 

In performing the functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements. While we do not currently have a standing compensation committee, our non-employee director considers executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Our non-employee board members oversee our compensation policies, plans and programs. Our non-employee board members further review and approve corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers; review the compensation and other terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers; and administer our equity incentive and stock option plans. Each of our directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment. 

 

25
 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Effective August 1, 2012, the Company entered into an Advisory Board Agreement with Dr. James Canton. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The options expire on the third anniversary of the grant. The fair value for these options was estimated at $0.21 per option at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The options vested as follows; 200,000 upon the effective date and 50,000 at the end of each of the subsequent twelve months.

The 100,000 shares of common stock were valued $0.25 per share, the price of the common stock sold in the Company’s private placements prior to the issuance. On June 20, 2013, the Company authorized the issuance of 900,000 shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $225,000 to Mr. Canton, pursuant to a patent assignment agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 90,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001.

 

Common Stock

 

The shares of our common stock presently outstanding, and any shares of our common stock issues upon exercise of stock options and/or warrants, will be fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share owned on all matters voted upon by shareholders, and a majority vote is required for all actions to be taken by shareholders. In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our operations, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all our debts and liabilities and the liquidation preference of any shares of preferred stock that may then be outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive rights, no cumulative voting rights, and no redemption, sinking fund, or conversion provisions. Since the holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares can elect all of our Directors, and the holders of the remaining shares by themselves cannot elect any Directors.  Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for such purpose, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may then be outstanding.

 

Voting Rights 

 

Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

 

Dividends 

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, and any other restrictions, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors out of legally available funds. The Company has not declared any dividends in the past. Further, the Company does not presently contemplate that there will be any future payment of any dividends on Common Stock. 

28
 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and other matters. Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our Board of Directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

 

The rights granted to the holders of any series of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and issuance of preferred stock may delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.

 

Amendment of our Bylaws

 

Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares. Subject to applicable law, our bylaws also may be adopted, amended or repealed by our Board of Directors.

 

Transfer Agent

 

Interwest Transfer Company serves in the capacity of transfer agent.

  

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

 

Transactions with related persons 

 

Convertible promissory note

 

In May 2012, the Company entered into a note agreement with Mr. Climes, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, for the issuance of a convertible promissory note in the amount of $50,000 (the “Note”). Among other terms the Note is due one year from its issuance date, bears interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or shares at the Conversion Price as defined herewith, and is convertible at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to 65% of the lowest closing bid price within five days of any conversion. Additionally, there are limitations on the holder’s right to convert whereby there cannot be any conversion that would cause the holders beneficial ownership to exceed 4.9% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Note, the Company is required to pay interest at 12% per annum and the holders may at their option declare the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Note provides for adjustments for dividends payable other than in shares of common stock, for reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock for another security or securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets, where there is a change in control of the Company. The Company may at its own option prepay the Note and must maintain sufficient authorized shares reserved for issuance under the Note. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repaid $43,000 of the Note. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid the remainder of the Note due.

 

The Company has determined that the conversion feature of the Note represents an embedded derivative since the Note is convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Note is not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument has been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Note. Such discount will be accreted from the date of issuance to the maturity date of the Note. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The beneficial conversion feature included in the Note resulted in an initial debt discount of $50,000 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $1,282 based on the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $51,282.

At December 31, 2012, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability. For the period from issuance to December 31, 2012, the Company decreased the derivative liability of $51,282 by $11,282 resulting in a derivative liability of $40,000 at December 31, 2012. On the dates of repayment of $43,000 of principal, the Company reclassed the fair value of related conversion feature, $25,329, to additional paid in capital. Based on the December 31, 2013 note balance of $7,000, and the value of the embedded derivative liability, the Company further decreased the derivative liability of by $8,298 resulting in a derivative liability balance of $6,373 at December 31, 2013.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was calculated at December 31, 2013 utilizing the following assumptions:

 

 

 

Fair Value

 

 

Term

 

Assumed Conversion Price

 

Volatility Percentage

 

Risk-free

Interest Rate

$6,373   1 month $0.1633 171% 0.02%

Effective May 1, 2013, the Company agreed to compensate Mr. James Canton $100,000 annually for his services as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Canton can elect to receive his compensation in cash or common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the Company has included $66,667 in management fees for the year ended December 31, 2013. Amounts due stockholders on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 include Mr. Friedman ($85,295) and Mr. Canton ($66,666). Mr. Canton resigned on January 15, 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of 800 Commerce, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 800 Commerce, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. 800 Commerce, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of 800 Commerce, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 800 Commerce, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, 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 discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses, has incurred negative cash flows from operations and has a working capital deficit. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 10 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 - Organization

 

Business

 

800 Commerce, Inc. (the “Company” or “800 Commerce”) was formed in the State of Florida on February 10, 2010. The Company was founded for the purpose of marketing credit card processing services on behalf of merchant payment processing service providers. The Company commenced revenue producing activities based on the marketing of credit processing services in March 2010. The Company generates revenue from the marketing of credit processing services by way of fees received from merchant payment processing service providers on whose behalf the Company brokers their processing services. On August 1, 2012, the Company began to receive additional revenue pursuant to a processing service provider’s assignment to the Company of a portion of its fee income under one or more of its service contracts in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of our common stock.

 

In addition to marketing credit card processing services, the Company also has developed on-line portals and mobile applications offering directories of professional service providers. The Company has completed its’ initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however the Company has not commenced revenue producing operations by way of the medical directory. The Company intends to maintain its 800 short code and platform, which will be used to run its medical portal and service other developments.

 

On September 17, 2014, the Company entered into a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Battery On The Go, Inc. (“BOTG”), a Florida based, mobile lifestyle and accessory company. BOTG develops mobile battery technologies under the brand name “Xsorii”. The Company and BOTG were not able to satisfactorily come to mutually acceptable terms and decided to not go forward with the transaction.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company advanced $75,541 to BOTG in exchange for a $75,541 promissory note with a 10% per annum interest rate. The note was to be payable in three installments after the closing of the transaction between the Company and BOTG or on demand by the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal amount on the promissory note is $70,591.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

F-7
 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its processors. The Company charges certain merchants for processing services at a bundled rate based on a percentage of the dollar amount of each transaction and, in some instances, additional fees are charged for each transaction. The Company charges other merchant customers a flat fee per transaction, and may also charge miscellaneous fees to customers, including fees for returns, monthly minimums, and other miscellaneous services. All the charges and collections thereon flow through processors who then remit the fee due the Company within the month following the actual charges.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred.

 

Patents

 

The Company capitalizes patent pending acquisition costs, legal fees and filing costs associated with the development and filing of its patents.  Patents are generally amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years using the straight-line method beginning on the issue date.  No amortization expense was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as the Company’s patents are still pending as of December 31, 2014.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

 

Office equipment and furniture 5 years
Computer hardware and software 3 years

 

The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   2014  2013
Furniture and Equipment  $1,929   $1,929 
Computer Hardware   1,188    1,188 
Accumulated depreciation   (1,676)   (605)
Balance  $1,441   $2,512 

 

Depreciation expense of $1,071 and $396 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which commissions are earned.

 

F-8
 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.

 

The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

 

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of marketable securities. Marketable securities are adjusted to fair value each balance sheet date, based on quoted prices; which are considered level 1 inputs (see Note 6). The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.

 

The Company’s derivative liability resulting from the issuance of convertible debt is adjusted to fair value based on recent sales of the underlying common stock and the use of an option pricing model, which are consistent with level 3 inputs. See Note 7.

 

The following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for each fair value hierarchy level:

 

  December 31, 2014  Derivative
Liability
  Marketable
Securities
  Total
Level I  $—     $30,000   $30,000 
Level II  $—     $—     $—   
Level III  $—     $—     $—   
December 31, 2013               
Level I  $—     $72,150   $72,150 
Level II  $—     $—     $—   
Level III  $6,373   $—     $6,373

The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to stockholders and convertible debt approximate fair value to their short term.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties.

 

The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2010 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included options to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock, which were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

 

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation 

 

The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Items included in the Company’s comprehensive loss consist of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

 

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Note 4 – Sales Concentration and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash

 

Financial   instruments   that   potentially   subject   the   Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insured institution insures up to $250,000 on account balances. The amounts that are not insured by FDIC limitations are held in short-term securities. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Sales and Accounts Receivable

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately 99% of the Company’s revenues were received from one merchant service provider, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (see Note 10) compared to 97% for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $26,588 (98% of accounts receivable) in accounts receivable from the same merchant service provider. The Company relies on a few processors to provide, on a non-exclusive basis, transaction processing and transmittal, transaction authorization and data capture, and access to various reporting tools.

 

Note 5 – Note Receivable

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company advanced $75,541 to BOTG in exchange for a $75,541 promissory note with a 10% per annum interest rate. The note was to be payable in three installments after the closing of the transaction between the Company and BOTG or on demand by the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal amount on the promissory note is $70,591.

 

Note 6 – Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s marketable securities consist solely of 600,000 and 650,000, as of December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively, shares of Agritek common stock, issued to the Company in connection with the Company’s formation in 2010. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold 50,000 shares of stock and recognized a gain of $7,054. The fair value of the Company’s holdings in Agritek’s common stock totaled $30,000 and $72,150 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Amounts due Agritek Holdings, Inc.

 

As of December 31, 2012, Agritek owned 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 32% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Effective September 4, 2013, Agritek distributed the 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to their shareholders of record as of September 3, 2013. The Company and Agritek are commonly controlled due to common management and board members. The Company owes Agritek $237,760 and $74,895 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, as a result of advances received from Agritek. These advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand and are included in amounts due related parties on the December 31, 2014, balance sheet herein.

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

In May 2012, the Company entered into a note agreement with Mr. Climes, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors, for the issuance of a convertible promissory note in the amount of $50,000 (the “Note”). Among other terms the Note was due one year from its issuance date, bears interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or shares at the Conversion Price as defined herewith, and was convertible at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to 65% of the lowest closing bid price within five days of any conversion. Additionally, there are limitations on the holder’s right to convert whereby there cannot be any conversion that would cause the holders beneficial ownership to exceed 4.9% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Note, the Company was required to pay interest at 12% per annum and the holders may at their option declare the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Note provided for adjustments for dividends payable other than in shares of common stock, for reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock for another security or securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets, where there is a change in control of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repaid $43,000 of the Note. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid the remainder of the Note due.

 

The Company determined that the conversion feature of the Note represented an embedded derivative since the Note was convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Note was not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature was required to be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument was recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Note. Such discount was accreted from the date of issuance to the maturity date of the Note. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The beneficial conversion feature included in the Note resulted in an initial debt discount of $50,000 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $1,282 based on the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $51,282.

 

At December 31, 2012, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability. For the period from issuance to December 31, 2012, the Company decreased the derivative liability of $51,282 by $11,282 resulting in a derivative liability of $40,000 at December 31, 2012. On the dates of repayment of $43,000 in 2013 of principal, the Company reclassed the fair value of related conversion feature, $25,329, to additional paid in capital. On the date of repayment of $7,000 of principal, the Company reclassed the fair value of the related conversion feature, $6,373, to additional paid in capital.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was calculated at December 31, 2013 utilizing the following assumptions:

 

Fair Value  Term  Assumed Conversion Price  Volatility Percentage 

Risk-free

Interest Rate

$6,373    1 month   $0.1633    171%   0.02%

 

Note 8 – Stockholders’ Deficit

 

Common Stock

 

On June 20, 2013, the Company authorized the issuance of 900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a patent assignment agreement. The patent was assigned to the Company by James Canton, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company at the time (resigned January 15, 2014). The Company recorded the excess of the fair value of the shares over the director’s historical cost basis as compensation expense equal to $225,000, included in management fees.

As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there were 19,950,000 par value $0.001, shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Stock Options

 

Effective August 1, 2012 the Company adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) whereby the Company has reserved five million shares of common stock to be available for grants pursuant to the 2012 Plan.

 

Effective August 1, 2012, the Company entered into two Advisory Board Agreements (“ABA”) pursuant to which, the Company granted to each of Dr. James Canton and Mr. Scott Climes a non-qualified stock option to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The options were granted under the 2012 Plan and have a three year term. Mr. Climes was a member of the board of directors of the Company (resigned August 5. 2014) and Dr. Canton was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company at the time (resigned January 15, 2014). All of the options granted are fully vested.

 

A summary of the activity of options for the year ended December 31, 2014 is as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2013 a total of 700,000 of the options vested and the Company recognized $147,000 of stock based compensation.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the remaining term of the options is .67 years, and 3,400,000 options are available for future grants under the 2012 Plan. All options are fully vested as of December 31, 2014 and no future expense related to these options is anticipated.

 

Note 9 – Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

Income tax expense for 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

 

   2014  2013

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $385,000. Any unused portion of this carry forward expires in 2030. Utilization of this loss may be limited in the event of an ownership change pursuant to IRS Section 382.

 

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is not a party to any litigation and, to its knowledge, no action, suit or proceeding has been threatened against the Company.

 

Effective June 1, 2013, the Company began leasing office space in Detroit, Michigan. The lease covers approximately 1,722 square feet, is for two years with monthly rent of $1,950 for the first year and $2,010 for the second year. The Company leased the space for corporate offices as well as a call center for marketing the Company’s directory business. In November 2013, the Company was notified that the landlord was delinquent in their obligations to the mortgage holder of the building where the Company is leasing its office space.

 

In January 2014, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s lease in Detroit, Michigan, the Company decided to relocate its administrative offices to West Palm Beach, Florida. Effective April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a rent sharing agreement for the use of 1,300 square feet with a company controlled by the Company’s CFO. The Company has agreed to pay $750 per month for the space.

 

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $6,750 and $21,087 respectively.

 

Other Agreements

 

Our business agreements consist primarily of banking ISO agreements and technology licensing agreements. Banking agreements are typically agreements with merchant banks which provide all direct relationships with the credit card issuing banks, PCI compliant gateways for our merchant processing clients and administrative functions. These agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the banks and the Company based on interchange rate, agent commissions, or a fixed fee per transaction. Licensing agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection to the end user that enables the Company to deliver and collect payment for the transacted media content or service application. Licensing agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the technology provider, carriers and the Company.

 

F-14
 

On August 1, 2012 the Company entered into a series of agreements with Payventures, LLC (“PV”) and Payventures Tech, LLC (“PVTECH”). PV operates a business of promoting merchant services offered by certain banks, including credit and debit card transaction processing and network services (“Merchant Services”) to merchants. Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (“PAA”) between PV and the Company PV assigned fifty percent (50%) of PV’s rights to receive residual payments from certain Assigned Customer(s), in exchange for five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The term of the Assignment Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of one (1) year after which it shall renew for successive one year terms automatically, unless terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. Either party has the right to terminate this Agreement at the end of the then current Term, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. PV may terminate this Agreement at any time on thirty (30) days written notice to the Company provided however, that if such termination is without default or other material cause by the Company, then PV shall continue to pay the referral fees contemplated therein despite such termination, subject to the other provisions thereof that survive termination. In addition, PV may terminate the assignment of the Assigned Customer, and any obligation to pay the share of the Assigned Customer residual to the Company, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Company. PV may terminate the assignment of the Assigned Customer and substitute one or more comparable Assigned Customers upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Company. PV shall not be required to replace an Assigned Customer if such Assigned Customer terminates its merchant account with PV.

 

Effective October 1, 2012, PV and the Company entered into the First Amendment to Assignment Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment replaces the assignment to the Company of 50% of PV’s residuals from the initial Assigned Customer to the assignment of 30% of PV’s residual payments received from a newly Assigned Customer, and such account shall henceforth be the Assigned Customer under the Assignment Agreement. Subsequently, on May 1, 2013 and May 1, 2014, the parties entered into amendments to change the assigned customer.

 

PV and the Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement, whereby PV will provide services to the Company, including; coordination of mobile messaging services, customer contact, customer assistance services and merchant acquisition and processing services. PV will be compensated at their standard hourly rate for such services.

Note 11 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,649,832 and a working capital deficit of $324,021. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Management’s Plans

 

The Company generates revenue from our marketing of credit processing services by way of fees we receive from merchant payment processing service providers on whose behalf we broker their processing services. On August 1, 2012, the Company began to receive additional revenue pursuant to a processing service provider’s assignment to us of a portion of its fee income under one of its service contracts in exchange for our issuance of 500,000 shares of our common shares. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company also sold 50,000 shares of Agritek common stock it owned and has realized proceeds of $16,554 from the sales.

 

In addition to marketing credit card processing services, the Company also has developed on-line portals and mobile applications offering directories of professional service providers. The Company has completed its’ initial on-line portal and mobile application dedicated to a directory of medical doctors, however the Company has not commenced revenue producing operations by way of the medical directory. The Company intends to maintain its 800 short code and platform, which will be used to run its medical portal and service other developments.
