Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be

achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Report and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.

 

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report.

 

Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Max Sound Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on December 9, 2005, under the name 43010, Inc. The Company business operations are focused primarily on developing and launching audio technology software.

 

Effective March 1, 2011, the Company filed with the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from So Act Network, Inc. to Max Sound Corporation.

 

(B) Use of Estimates

 

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

 

(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(D) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three to five years.

 

(E) Research and Development

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 350, Intangibles - Goodwill & Other (“ASC Topic 350”). Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be three years. Expenses subsequent to the launch have been expensed as website development expenses.

 

(F) Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company had $0 in excess of FDIC insurance limits as of March 31, 2015 and 2014.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

(G) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 605”). Under ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We had revenues of $0 and $1,236 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

(H) Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and include the costs of public relations activities. These costs are included in consulting and general and administrative expenses and totaled $0 and $4,805 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 

 

(I) Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 312, 2014, $7,500,275 of costs related to registering a trademark and acquiring technology rights (audio technology known as Max Audio Technology (MAXD) have been capitalized. It has been determined that the trademark and technology rights have an indefinite useful life and are not subject to amortization. However, the trademark and technology rights will be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.

 

On November 15, 2012, the Company acquired the rights to assets and audio technology known as Liquid Spins, Inc. through a share exchange, whereby the Company issued 24,752,475 shares of common stock for their rights in Liquid Spins technology (See Note 8 (H)). As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $8,096,731 and $8,338,121, respectively, of costs related to this intangible remain capitalized. The technology was placed in service on August 23, 2013 with a useful life of 10 years. However, the technology will be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.

 

On May 19, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with VSL Communications to acquire the rights to intellectual property titled “Optimized Data Transmission System and Method” (“ODT”) through a cash payment of $500,000 in addition to a share issuance, whereby the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $1,000,000 ($0.10/share). In exchange, the Company received a perpetual, exclusive, worldwide license to the ODT technology for all fields of use. In addition, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $120,000 ($0.12/share), as compensation for the introduction and identification of a seller based on the agreement dated April 10, 2014.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1,620,000 of costs related to the “ODT” intangible asset remains capitalized. The technology will be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In connection with this agreement, the Company is obligated to make an additional five (5) payments totaling $1,000,000 to be made every 30 days, with the thirty (30) day periods to be waived if fund raising occurs on an anticipated faster time line. The payments of additional cash are contingent on the following funding criteria:

 

  The Company shall pay set increments of cash based on a percentage of gross funds received through funds raised.
  The Company shall pay 20% of such monies as soon as they are received.
 
 

 

MAX SOUND CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

 

In connection with funds raised through March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a liability and expensed $484,056 as royalty cost, related to the 20% fee, as of March 31, 2015, $30,000 has been paid . The remaining liability as of March 31, 2015, is $454,556 and is included in accounts payable.

 

The Company shall act as the exclusive agent to facilitate and negotiate any opportunities on behalf of ODT to Companies, Organizations and other qualified entities. Upon any closing, ODT shall receive 50% of gross dollars and the Company shall receive the other 50% at the time of a completion of any transaction opportunity, including legal settlements after subtracting applicable contingent legal fees. The term of the agreement is for the life of the acquired intellectual property.

 

On August 11, 2014, the Company and VSL simultaneously filed trade secret and patent infringement actions against Google, Inc. and its subsidiaries, YouTube, LLC and On2 Technologies, Inc., relating to proprietary and patented technology owned by Vedanti Systems Limited, a subsidiary of VSL.  The patent infringement complaint was brought in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the trade secret suit was filed in Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.  The lawsuits contend that, in 2010, while Google was in discussions with Vedanti about the possibility of acquiring Vedanti's patented digital video streaming techniques and other proprietary methods, Google gained access to and received technical guidance regarding Vedanti’s proprietary codec, a computer program capable of encoding and decoding a digital data stream or signal.  The complaints allege that soon after the two companies initiated negotiations, Google began implementing Vedanti's technology into its own WebM/VP8 video codec without informing Vedanti, and without compensating Vedanti for its use.  Plaintiffs are seeking a permanent injunction against Google, compensatory damages, as well as treble damages. As exclusive agent to VSL to enforce all rights with respect to the subject technology, the Company has hired Grant & Eisenhofer, PA to represent the Company and VSL in the suits. These cases will be vigorously prosecuted and the Company believes it has a good likelihood of success. 

 

On May 22, 2014, the Company entered into a five (5) year agreement to acquire the rights to intellectual property titled “Engineered Architecture” (“EA Technology”) through a cash payment of $50,000 in addition to a share issuance, whereby the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $394,000 ($0.0985/share). In exchange, the Company received for the term of the agreement, the exclusive worldwide right to use the EA Technology. As of March 31, 2015, $392,200 of costs related to this intangible remains capitalized. The technology will be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In connection with this agreement, the Company is obligated to make an additional five (5) payments totaling $500,000 to be made every 30 days, with the thirty (30) day periods to be waived if fund raising occurs on an anticipated faster time line. The payments of additional cash are contingent on the following funding criteria:

 

  The Company shall pay set increments of cash based on a percentage of gross funds received through funds raised.
  The Company shall pay 10% of such monies as soon as they are received.

 

In connection with funds raised through March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a liability and expensed $242,028 as royalty cost, related to the 10% fee, as of March 31, 2015, $40,000 has been paid . The remaining liability as of March 31, 2015, is $202,028 and is included in accounts payable.

  

The Company shall act as the exclusive agent to facilitate and negotiate any opportunities on behalf of EA Technology to Companies, Organizations and other qualified entities. Upon any closing, EA shall receive 50% of gross dollars and the Company shall receive the other 50% at the time of a completion of any transaction opportunity, including legal settlements after subtracting applicable contingent legal fees. In the event the Company sublicenses EA to other entities, profits shall be split evenly 50%/50%.

  

(J) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets, such as technology rights, be reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. No impairments were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

(K) Loss Per Share

 

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the Company’s net losses, the effects of stock warrants and stock options would be anti-dilutive and accordingly, is excluded from the computation of earnings per share.

 

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

(N) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation ("ASUE 2014-10"). The guidance is intended to reduce the overall cost and complexity associated with financial reporting for development stage entities without reducing the availability of relevant information. The FASB also believes the changes will simplify the consolidation accounting guidance by removing the differential accounting requirements for development stage entities. As a result of these changes, there no longer will be any accounting or reporting differences in GAAP between development stage entities and other operating entities. For organizations defined as public business entities, the presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required, starting with the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). The Company has elected early application of this ASU and implemented the changes in their financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.  We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

 

(O) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts on the Company’s financial instruments including prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative liability, convertible note payable, and loan payable-related party, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

(P) Stock-Based Compensation

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.

 

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

(Q) Reclassification

 

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's net loss or cash flows.

 

(R) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. 

 

(S) Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

(T) Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

On June 16, 2014, MAXD entered into a license and revenue share agreement with LOOKHU, an online subscription service that delivers movies, music, television shows, apps and games. The agreement grants LOOKHU non-exclusive, non-transferable, indivisible worldwide license rights to the distribution and use of the Company’s Application Programming Interface (“API”) audio processor technology. The license is for five years and is renewable, with the Company’s approval, at LOOKHU’s request.

 

As consideration for the above-referenced license rights, LOOKHU agreed to pay the Company royalties of $0.25 per month per paid subscription to the technology, to be payable on a monthly basis.  Additionally, LOOKHU agreed to pay the Company 4% of the net advertising revenue derived from advertising that utilizes the technology, to be payable on a quarterly basis.

 

Additionally, for the term of the agreement, the parties agreed to split, on a 50/50 basis, net revenue derived from sales of digital music or songs played from a LOOKHU software player, to be payable on a monthly basis.

 

(V) Inventory

NOTE 2           GOING CONCERN 

 

As reflected in the accompanying audited financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,973,423 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, has an accumulated deficit of $39,110,405 as of March 31, 2015, and has negative cash flow from operations of $639,570 as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

As the Company continues to incur losses, transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful commercialization of its products and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional cash. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public debt or equity offerings. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at December 31, 2014 was not sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations through January 31, 2015 without additional sources of cash. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices and terms discussed above.    The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle or due to the existence of a ratchet due to an anti-dilution provision. See Note 4 regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company converted debt and accrued interest, totaling $791,444 into 29,796,782 shares of common stock.

NOTE 4           DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued in 2015 and 2014 and warrants issued in 2015 and 2014. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability.

 

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follow:

 

Derivative Liability - December 31, 2014  $3,234,792 
      
Fair value at the commitment date for convertible instruments   974,533 
      
Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability for convertible instruments   (460,555)
Reclassification to additional paid in capital for financial instruments that ceased to be a derivative liability   (577,526)
Derivative Liability - March 31, 2015  $3,171,244 

 

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note.  The Company also recorded the value of the warrants issued for services as derivative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The Company recorded a derivative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of $167,523 and $0, respectively.

 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of March 31, 2015:

 

    Commitment Date    Re-measurement Date 
           
Expected dividends:   0%   0%
Expected volatility:   133.33% - 149.37%    128.45% - 238.77% 
Expected term:   0.97 - 2 Years    0.07 - 1.95 Years 
Risk free interest rate:   0.01% - 1.16%    0.12% - 1.10% 

 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of December 31, 2014:

 

    Commitment Date    Re-measurement Date 
           
Expected dividends:   0%   0%
Expected volatility:   109% - 304%    120% - 140%

NOTE 8       LITIGATION

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business.

 

On February 21, 2012, the Company filed a suit for breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, false advertising, and unfair competition with a former consultant.   It seeks damages due to their alleged failure to meet the contractual requirements regarding promotions.   The defendant has been served.   In September of 2014, the Company received a Default Judgment against the Defendant.    The Company is vigorously pursuing collection on this judgment.

 

On August 14, 2012, the Company, along with two shareholders of the Company, were named as a defendant in an action filed in the Superior Court for the State of California and the County of San Diego. The plaintiff alleges he was terminated by his former employer “Acoustics Control Sciences, LLC” (which is a company that is not affiliated with Max Sound Corporation) in August 2008 without receiving wages and other compensation allegedly due him. The plaintiff further claims that two of the members or “shareholders” of Acoustics Control Sciences, LLC, wrongfully transferred a patent owned by his former employer and this transfer prevented his former employer from paying the wages alleged due. According to the plaintiff, when the assets of his former employer were sold to the Company, Max Sound Corporation became a successor-in-interest to the plaintiff’s former employer. Plaintiff thus seeks unpaid wages and other compensation from each alleged successor-in-interest named in his complaint. This case will be vigorously prosecuted and has a good likelihood of success.

 

On August 11, 2014, the Company and VSL simultaneously filed trade secret and patent infringement actions against Google, Inc., and its subsidiaries YouTube, LLC, and On2 Technologies, Inc., relating to proprietary and patented technology owned by Vedanti Systems Limited (“Vedanti”), a subsidiary of VSL.  The patent infringement complaint was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; the trade secret suit was filed in Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.  On September 30, 2014, the Company filed notices of voluntary dismissal without prejudice as to both lawsuits. On October 1, 2014, the Company amended the patent complaint and filed it in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. In this patent lawsuit, which remains pending, the Company contends that, in 2010, while Google was in discussions with Vedanti about the possibility of acquiring Vedanti's patented digital video streaming techniques and other proprietary methods, Google gained access to and received technical guidance regarding Vedanti’s proprietary codec, a computer program capable of encoding and decoding a digital data stream or signal.  The lawsuit further alleges that soon after Google and Vedanti initiated negotiations, Google willfully infringed Vedanti's patent by incorporating Vedanti's patented technology into Google's own VP8, VP9, WebM, YouTube, Google Adsense, Google Play, Google TV, Chromebook, Google Drive, Google Chromecast, Google Play-per-view, Google Glasses, Google+, Google’s Simplify, Google Maps, and Google Earth, without compensating Vedanti for such use.  Plaintiffs are seeking a permanent injunction against Google, compensatory damages, as well as treble damages. As exclusive agent to VSL to enforce all rights with respect to the subject technology, the Company has hired Grant & Eisenhofer PA and Buether Joe & Carpenter LLC to represent the Company in the suit on a contingency fee basis. The case will be vigorously prosecuted, and the Company believes it has a good likelihood of success. 

 

Additionally, on December 5, 2014, the Company, along with renowned architect Eli Attia, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, against Google, its co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google’s spinoff company Flux Factory, and senior executives of Flux. Plaintiffs’ allege misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract and other contract-related claims, breach of confidence, slander of title, violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law (California Business and Professionals Code §§ 17200 et seq.), and fraud, and also bring a claim for declaratory relief. The lawsuit contends that Google and the other Defendants stole Mr. Attia’s trade secrets, proprietary information, and know-how regarding a revolutionary architecture design and building process that he alone had invented, known as Engineered Architecture. Defendants are alleged to have engaged Mr. Attia in 2010 and 2011 to translate his architectural technology into software for a proof of concept, with the goal of determining at that point whether to continue with full-scale development with Mr. Attia. Instead, the lawsuit claims that once Mr. Attia had disclosed the trade secrets and proprietary information Defendants needed to bring the technology to market, they severed ties with Mr. Attia, and continued to use his technology without a license and without compensation, in order to bring the technology to market themselves. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction against Google, damages (including punitive damages), and restitution. As exclusive agent to Eli Attia to enforce all rights with respect to the subject technology, the Company has retained Buether Joe & Carpenter LLC to represent the Company in the suit, on a contingency fee basis. The case will be vigorously prosecuted, and the Company believes it has a good likelihood of success. 

 

On September 8 and 9, 2014, respectively, the Company and VSL were granted preliminary injunctions by the District Court of Berlin, Germany, against the Chinese company Shenzhen KTC Technology Co. Ltd. and the French company Pact Informatique S.A. Both companies have been offering products at the International Consumer Electronics Trade Show 2014 in Berlin, which, according to the company’s claim and the Preliminary Injunctions issued by the Court, infringed the rights to a patent. This patent is the German is the German part of the patent on optimized data transmission, owned by Vedanti, which is already asserted the United States infringement proceedings. The products in question are tablet computers and smart phones with Android OS and with the ability to encode videos in the format H.264. The injunctions were issued ex-parte and can be appealed by the Defendants. However, currently there are no indications that any prospective appeals will be interposed. The Company can still enforce claims for cost reimbursement with regard to these legal proceedings.

 

On December 2, 2014, the Company filed a patent infringement action against Google, Inc., Germany GmBH, Google Commerce Ltd. and YouTube LLC with the District Court of Mannheim, Germany. The asserted patent infringement concerns the same patent infringement asserted in the in the prior Germany Preliminary Injunctions described herein. The Complaint alleges that Google Inc. and it above-named subsidiaries are offering and selling products which can also decode and show videos, which have been encoded in a patent protected and proprietary way. The complaint also avers that YouTube LLC offers to German customers, which are encoded and transmitted in a manner claimed and protected by the patent. The Company mainly seeks a permanent injunction against the Defendants, damages and information regarding past infringements.

 

On January 26, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in an action filed in the Superior Court for the State of California and the County of Los Angeles captioned Bibicoff Family Trust v. Max Sound Corporation (Case No. SC123679). In the complaint the plaintiff alleges a cause of action for breach of contract associated with the non-payment by the Company for certain services plaintiff agreed to provide to the Company. The Company interposed a cross-complaint against plaintiffs averring causes of action for breach of contract, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation by defendants with respect to defendants’ undisclosed inability to perform the services that are the subject of this dispute. This lawsuit will be vigorously defended and prosecuted. While this lawsuit is in its infancy, the Company believes there is a strong likelihood of success on the merits with respect to the defending and prosecuting this action.

 

The Company intends to vigorously prosecute these various patent infringement litigations. The Company believes it has a good likelihood of success associated with these patent infringement lawsuits. However, no assurance can be given by the Company as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or its effect on the Company. The law firm is prosecuting these action on a pure contingency fee basis.

 

No assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or its effect on the Company.

The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.

Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware as of December 9, 2005 as 43010, Inc. to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, locating and negotiating with a business entity for combination in the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. On October 7, 2008, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement, Mr. Greg Halpern purchased a total of 100,000 shares of our common stock from Michael Raleigh for an aggregate of $30,000 in cash. The total of 100,000 shares represents 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock at the time of the transfer. As a result, Mr. Halpern became our sole shareholder. As part of the acquisition, and pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Michael Raleigh, our then President, CEO, CFO, and Chairman resigned from all the positions he held in the company, and Mr. Halpern was appointed as our President, CEO CFO and Chairman. The current business model was developed by Mr. Halpern in September of 2008 and began when he joined the company on October 7, 2008. In October 2008, we became a development stage company focused on creating an Internet search engine and networking web site. 

 

In May of 2010, we acquired the world-wide rights to all fields of use for Max Sound HD Audio Technology. In November of 2010, we opened our post-production facility for Max Sound HD Audio in Santa Monica California. In February of 2012, after several successful demonstrations to multi-media industry company executives, we decided to shift the focus of the Company to the marketing of the Max Sound HD Audio Technology and commenced the name change from So Act Network, Inc. to Max Sound Corporation and the symbol from SOAN to MAXD.

 

On December 3, 2012, the Company completed the purchase of the assets of Liquid Spins, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Liquid Spins”).  Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the assets of Liquid Spins were exchanged for 24,752,475 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), equal to $10,000,000 and a purchase price of $.404 per share.  The assets of Liquid Spins purchased included: record label distribution agreements; Liquid Spins technology inventory; independent arts programs; retail contracts for music distribution; physical inventory and office equipment; design and retail ready concepts; brand value; records; publishing catalog; and web assets.

 

The Company is in negotiations with several multi-media companies that will utilize our HD Audio solution in the future.

 

Videos and news relating to the Company is available on the company website at http://www.maxsound.com. The MAX-D Technology Highlights Video summarizes the HD Audio™ process and shows the need for high definition (HD) Audio in several key vertical markets. The video explains MAX-D as what we believe to be the only dynamic HD Audio™ that is being offered to various markets.

 

 
 

 

Plan of Operation

 

We began our operations on October 8, 2008, when we purchased the Form 10 Company from the previous owners.  Since that date and through 2014, we have conducted financings to raise initial start-up money for the building of our internet search engine and social networking website and to start our operations.  In 2011, the Company shifted the focus of its business operations from their social networking website to the marketing of the Max Sound HD Audio Technology.  

 

The Company believes that Max Sound HD Audio Technology is a game changer for several vertical markets whose demand will create revenue opportunities in 2014.

 

We expect our financial requirements to increase with the additional expenses needed to market and promote the MAX-D Audio technology.  We plan to fund these additional expenses through financings and through loans from our stockholders and/or officers based on existing lines of credit and we are also considering various private funding opportunities until such time that our revenue stream is adequate enough to provide the necessary funds.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

General and Administrative Expenses: Our general and administrative expenses were $787,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $740,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, representing an increase of $46,516, or approximately 6%, as a result of increase in the general operation of the Company included added personnel, product development and marketing of our Max Sound Technology.

 

Consulting Fees:  Our consulting fees were $69,837 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $133,812 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, representing a decrease of $63,975, or approximately 48%. The Company has decreased the use of consultants to assist the Company.

Net Loss: Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, was $1,973,423, compared to $4,189,781 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. While the operational expenses in marketing our Max Sound technology decreased from the same period of last year, the overall amount of our net loss substantially increased as a result of an increase in the change in the fair value of embedded derivative liability associated with the convertible debt.

 

 
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, were $0 and $1,236, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of $39,110,405 for the period from December 9, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2015, and have negative cash flow from operations of $639,570 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  

 

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of revenues from our subscriber base and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses from inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

From our inception through March 31, 2015, our primary source of funds has been the proceeds of private offerings of our common stock, private financing, and loans from stockholders.  Our need to obtain capital from outside investors is expected to continue until we are able to achieve profitable operations, if ever. There is no assurance that management will be successful in fulfilling all or any elements of its plans.

The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices and terms discussed above.  The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle or due to the existence of a ratchet due to an anti-dilution provision. See Note 4 regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.

 

 
 

  

Loans and Advances

 

We have entered into three Credit Line Agreements with Greg Halpern.  The first two were for $100,000 each and matured and expired in 2011.  The third Credit Line Agreement issued by Mr. Halpern in March 2010 is for an additional $500,000 and matured and expired in 2012.  All three agreements accrue interest at the prime rate as of the date of issuance.  The prime rate of interest is the rate of interest that major banks charge their most creditworthy customers.  For the purposes of these agreements, we shall determine the prime rate by using the prime rate reported by the Wall Street Journal on the date funds are extended to the Company.  Based on the prime rate as of the date of issuance, the prime rate shall be 3.25%. On September 26, 2013, we entered into a Credit Line Agreement with Mr. Halpern for $1,000,000 that will mature and expire on or before the second anniversary of September 26, 2013.  Interest will accrue on each advance at an annual rate of 4%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company owed $0 in principal and $0 in accrued interest related to these loans and lines of credit.  We believe that the $1,000,000 line of credit issued will not be sufficient to cover the additional expense arising from maintenance of our regulatory filings with the SEC, and the marketing of our technology over the next twelve months, thus the Company will continue to pursue additional financing and/or additional funding in 2014 to continue marketing the Max Sound HD Audio Technology aggressively to Multi-Media Industry Users of Audio and Audio with Video products.

 

In 2014, the Company has received from Mr. Halpern additional net advances on the established lines of credit in the amount of $153,000 of which it has repaid $35,000.  As of December 31, 2014, the balance including accrued interest on the line of credit is $268,227.  This further demonstrates our Chairman’s ongoing commitment to continue financing the Company’s needs.  While the Company expects to have ongoing needs for additional financing, the amount of those needs are not clearly established as the Company moves forward.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the principal stockholder loaned an additional $25,000 and was repaid $75,000.  As of March 31, 2015, the line of credit balance including accrued interest totaled $220,478.

 

In the event that we are unable to obtain additional financing and/or funding or Mr. Halpern either fails to extend us more financing, declines to loan additional cash, declines to fund the line of credit, or declines to defer his salary payments, we will no longer be able to continue to operate and will have to cease operations unless we begin to generate sufficient revenue to cover our costs.

 

 
 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation ("ASUE 2014-10"). The guidance is intended to reduce the overall cost and complexity associated with financial reporting for development stage entities without reducing the availability of relevant information. The Board also believes the changes will simplify the consolidation accounting guidance by removing the differential accounting requirements for development stage entities. As a result of these changes, there no longer will be any accounting or reporting differences in GAAP between development stage entities and other operating entities. For organizations defined as public business entities the presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required starting with the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities).

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.  We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable. 

 

 
 

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates:  

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

 

Revenue Recognition:  

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is assured. We had $2,498 and $5 in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans.  As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value.  Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.  The Company applies this statement prospectively.

 

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718.  FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505,  Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments.  In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement.  If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.  In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  

 

 
 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets, such as technology rights, be reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including the eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of an asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed an impairment analysis on its' long-lived assets, their technology rights, and determined that no impairment was necessary.

 

The Company believes that the accounting estimate related to asset impairment is a "critical accounting estimate" because the impairment methodology is highly susceptible to change from period to period, because it requires management to make assumptions about future cash flows, and because the impact of recognizing impairment could have a significant effect on operations. Management's assumptions about future cash flows require significant judgment because actual business operations of marketing the technology rights is in its infancy stages and managements expects that their future operating levels to fluctuate. The analysis included assumptions that are based on annual business plans and other forecasted results which are used to reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows, based on the best information available as of the date of the impairment test. There can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions used in the impairment tests will prove to be accurate predictions of the future.  If the future adversely differs from management's best estimate of key economic assumptions, and if associated future cash flows materially decrease, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its indefinite life intangible asset. 

 

Prior to February 2011, the Company's business operations were related to the development and launching of a social networking website.  However, since February 2011, our business focus has been on the marketing of our Max Sound HD Audio Technology.  Since 2011, was our initial year of marketing our technology, management considers past operational levels to be inconsistent with future operations mainly due to the shift in business focus.  In our impairment testing, the Company made assumptions towards the income and expenses expected in the future including, but not limited to, determining the actual expenses incurred in the current year that were attributable to the new business focus in order to develop an annual cost benchmark, trends in the marketplace, feedback from current and past marketing activities, and assessments upon the useful life of the technology rights.

 

The Company's primary focus over the next three to five years will be centered on the marketing and implementation of their technology in order to take advantage of the current trends in the marketplace for users of their technology.  In particular, the Company expects that expenses will increase significantly from year to year over the next five years, at which time in year six and beyond the year-to-year change will be a minimal increase.  In addition, the Company expects minimal revenue over the next two years, while in year three to six the Company expects to realize significant year to year increases in revenue, at which time in year seven and beyond the year to year change will be a minimal increase.

 

As part of the impairment test, the Company reviewed its' initial useful life analysis, in reference to their technology, and updated this analysis with factors that existed at the time of the impairment testing and determined that nothing had occurred in the marketplace that would change their initial determination of the useful life of their technology. The analysis included researching known technological advances in the marketplace and determining if those advances which are similar to the Company's products would limit the useful life of the asset. The Company believes that the technological advances in the marketplace are geared to developing different playback devices and the implementation of technology that is similar to the Company's technology. Thus, the Company concluded that their technology rights continue to have an indefinite useful life. However, it is understood that technological advancements could happen in the future that would limit the useful life of their technology.  If a technology was created in the future that would limit the useful life of the technology, the Company would be required to update their impairment testing to include a useful life determination of the technology and may be required to record impairment charges at some time in the future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business.

 

On February 21, 2012, the Company filed a suit for breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, false advertising, and unfair competition with a former consultant.   It seeks damages due to their alleged failure to meet the contractual requirements regarding promotions.   The defendant has been served.   In September of 2014, the Company received a Default Judgment against the Defendant.    The Company is vigorously pursuing collection on this judgment.

 

On August 14, 2012, the Company, along with two shareholders of the Company, were named as a defendant in an action filed in the Superior Court for the State of California and the County of San Diego. The plaintiff alleges he was terminated by his former employer “Acoustics Control Sciences, LLC” (which is a company that is not affiliated with Max Sound Corporation) in August 2008 without receiving wages and other compensation allegedly due him. The plaintiff further claims that two of the members or “shareholders” of Acoustics Control Sciences, LLC, wrongfully transferred a patent owned by his former employer and this transfer prevented his former employer from paying the wages alleged due. According to the plaintiff, when the assets of his former employer were sold to the Company, Max Sound Corporation became a successor-in-interest to the plaintiff’s former employer. Plaintiff thus seeks unpaid wages and other compensation from each alleged successor-in-interest named in his complaint. This case will be vigorously prosecuted and has a good likelihood of success.

  

On August 11, 2014, the Company and VSL simultaneously filed trade secret and patent infringement actions against Google, Inc., and its subsidiaries YouTube, LLC, and On2 Technologies, Inc., relating to proprietary and patented technology owned by Vedanti Systems Limited (“Vedanti”), a subsidiary of VSL.  The patent infringement complaint was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; the trade secret suit was filed in Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.  On September 30, 2014, the Company filed notices of voluntary dismissal without prejudice as to both lawsuits. On October 1, 2014, the Company amended the patent complaint and filed it in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. In this patent lawsuit, which remains pending, the Company contends that, in 2010, while Google was in discussions with Vedanti about the possibility of acquiring Vedanti's patented digital video streaming techniques and other proprietary methods, Google gained access to and received technical guidance regarding Vedanti’s proprietary codec, a computer program capable of encoding and decoding a digital data stream or signal.  The lawsuit further alleges that soon after Google and Vedanti initiated negotiations, Google willfully infringed Vedanti's patent by incorporating Vedanti's patented technology into Google's own VP8, VP9, WebM, YouTube, Google Adsense, Google Play, Google TV, Chromebook, Google Drive, Google Chromecast, Google Play-per-view, Google Glasses, Google+, Google’s Simplify, Google Maps, and Google Earth, without compensating Vedanti for such use.  Plaintiffs are seeking a permanent injunction against Google, compensatory damages, as well as treble damages. As exclusive agent to VSL to enforce all rights with respect to the subject technology, the Company has hired Grant & Eisenhofer PA and Buether Joe & Carpenter LLC to represent the Company in the suit on a contingency fee basis. The case will be vigorously prosecuted, and the Company believes it has a good likelihood of success.  

 

 
 

 

Additionally, on December 5, 2014, the Company, along with renowned architect Eli Attia, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, against Google, its co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google’s spinoff company Flux Factory, and senior executives of Flux. Plaintiffs’ allege misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract and other contract-related claims, breach of confidence, slander of title, violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law (California Business and Professionals Code §§ 17200 et seq.), and fraud, and also bring a claim for declaratory relief. The lawsuit contends that Google and the other Defendants stole Mr. Attia’s trade secrets, proprietary information, and know-how regarding a revolutionary architecture design and building process that he alone had invented, known as Engineered Architecture. Defendants are alleged to have engaged Mr. Attia in 2010 and 2011 to translate his architectural technology into software for a proof of concept, with the goal of determining at that point whether to continue with full-scale development with Mr. Attia. Instead, the lawsuit claims that once Mr. Attia had disclosed the trade secrets and proprietary information Defendants needed to bring the technology to market, they severed ties with Mr. Attia, and continued to use his technology without a license and without compensation, in order to bring the technology to market themselves. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction against Google, damages (including punitive damages), and restitution. As exclusive agent to Eli Attia to enforce all rights with respect to the subject technology, the Company has retained Buether Joe & Carpenter LLC to represent the Company in the suit, on a contingency fee basis. The case will be vigorously prosecuted, and the Company believes it has a good likelihood of success. 

 

On September 8 and 9, 2014, respectively, the Company and VSL were granted preliminary injunctions by the District Court of Berlin, Germany, against the Chinese company Shenzhen KTC Technology Co. Ltd. and the French company Pact Informatique S.A. Both companies have been offering products at the International Consumer Electronics Trade Show 2014 in Berlin, which, according to the company’s claim and the Preliminary Injunctions issued by the Court, infringed the rights to a patent. This patent is the German is the German part of the patent on optimized data transmission, owned by Vedanti, which is already asserted the United States infringement proceedings. The products in question are tablet computers and smart phones with Android OS and with the ability to encode videos in the format H.264. The injunctions were issued ex-parte and can be appealed by the Defendants. However, currently there are no indications that any prospective appeals will be interposed. The Company can still enforce claims for cost reimbursement with regard to these legal proceedings.

 

On December 2, 2014, the Company filed a patent infringement action against Google, Inc., Germany GmBH, Google Commerce Ltd. and YouTube LLC with the District Court of Mannheim, Germany. The asserted patent infringement concerns the same patent infringement asserted in the in the prior Germany Preliminary Injunctions described herein. The Complaint alleges that Google Inc. and it above-named subsidiaries are offering and selling products which can also decode and show videos, which have been encoded in a patent protected and proprietary way. The complaint also avers that YouTube LLC offers to German customers, which are encoded and transmitted in a manner claimed and protected by the patent. The Company mainly seeks a permanent injunction against the Defendants, damages and information regarding past infringements.

 

On January 21, 2015, the Company filed a patent infringement action against Netflix Inc., Netflix Luxembourg S.a.r.l. and Netflix International B.V. with the District Court of Mannheim, Germany. The asserted patent is the same patent as in the German proceedings against Google Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Complaint alleges that Netflix Inc. and its subsidiaries are offering and transmitting video streams to German customers as part of their video-on-demand business model; the videos being encoded and transmitted in a manner claimed and protected by the patent. The Company primarily seeks a permanent injunction against the Defendants, plus damages and information regarding past infringements.

 

The Company intends to vigorously prosecute these various patent infringement litigations. The Company believes it has a good likelihood of success associated with these patent infringement lawsuits. However, no assurance can be given by the Company as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or its effect on the Company. The law firm is prosecuting these action on a pure contingency fee basis.

 

On January 26, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in an action filed in the Superior Court for the State of California and the County of Los Angeles captioned Bibicoff Family Trust v. Max Sound Corporation (Case No. SC123679). In the complaint the plaintiff alleges a cause of action for breach of contract associated with the non-payment by the Company for certain services plaintiff agreed to provide to the Company. The Company interposed a cross-complaint against plaintiffs averring causes of action for breach of contract, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation by defendants with respect to defendants’ fraudulent and intentional undisclosed inability to perform the services that plaintiffs’ agreed to perform that are the subject of this dispute. This lawsuit will be vigorously defended and prosecuted. While this lawsuit is in its nacency, the Company believes there is a strong likelihood of success on the merits with respect to the defending and prosecuting this action.

 

No assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or its effect on the Company.
