Recent Developments

 

On March 13, 2015 (the "Closing Date"), the Company entered into a Redemption and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with GGI Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GGI”) pursuant to which GGI agreed to redeem the Company’s ownership interest in consideration of certain payment and mutual releases. On the Closing Date, the Company received a payment of $1,147,500. Further, during the period commencing on the Closing Date through the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “GGI Period”), the Company shall receive 5% of the adjusted gross revenue of GGI up to $2,500,000, which is defined as revenue less cost of goods sold solely in respect of GGI’s social impact investment activity as currently conducted as of the Closing Date. During the GGI Period, with respect to GGI’s social impact investment activity, in the event GGI (i) disposes of all or a portion of its assets in an arm’s length transaction with a bona fide third party, (ii) enters into a merger agreement in an arm’s length transaction with a bona fide third party or (iii) enters any other arm’s length transaction with a bona fide third party which results in GGI disposing of all or a portion of its social impact business line (which shall not include bona fide fundraising offerings), then the Company shall receive a one-time cash payment equal to 5% of the net sales price received by GGI in such transaction. Such payment to the Company is capped at, $2,500,000. In addition, GGI agreed to pay all outstanding liabilities of GGI as originally contemplated in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement entered with Gate Global Impact Inc. dated December 17, 2014 and the Company was relieved of all obligations pertaining to certain employment agreements entered between GGI and certain executives. The Company entered into an amendment to that certain Assignment and Assumption with a third party whereby the consideration due for the assignment of the rights to acquire the Certus Wealth Platform was reduced to 170,000 shares of common stock and $75,000, which has been paid.

 

On December 2, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with CertusHoldings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire CertusSecurities, Inc., a Georgia Corporation (“CSI”), and CertusInvestment Advisers, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“CIA”). CSI is a registered broker-dealer engaged in the business of providing investment advice and other financial advisory services and products to private accounts of certain institutional and individual investors. CIA is a registered investment advisor engaged in the business of providing investment advice and other financial advisory services and products to private accounts of certain institutional and individual investors. The aggregate purchase price was $190,000 plus 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the option to acquire from third party. On March 13, 2015, in connection with the sale of GGI, Inc., 1,350,000 previously issued common shares for the right to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc. were returned and cancelled. The fair value of the net common shares issued of $512,500 (250,000) was charged to current period operations as indirect acquisition costs. The closing is subject to board and regulatory approval.

 

As of March 31, 2015, regulatory approvals have not been granted. Accordingly, the fair value of the issued common stock is reflected as other assets, investments in the Company’s balance sheet.

Competition

 

The Company faces competition for subscribers from all forms of financial news and information sources, including print publications, television and radio, and other internet information services providers. The financial services sector is diverse, growing and characterized by rapid change where there are no dominant players. Competitors in this sector have unique attributes and a dominant player has yet to emerge. Despite rapid expansion, the broad sector penetration is still relatively in the early stages, competitors offer different products and services and success is characterized by speed to market and uniqueness of its offering. There are a multitude of providers for online financial information, each using their own analysis methods and research tools. Our competitors include Edgar Online, BankRate.com, TheStreet.com and Morningstar. In addition, the major on-line brokerages provide a similar service to their best clients free of charge. The large on-line brokers have acquired similar companies and those companies now are associated with firms that have far greater resources. Competition may result in price reductions, decreased gross margins and loss of market share. Certain of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we have. Although the internet is ubiquitous, we believe we primarily serve clients in North America. We also do not provide our services other than in English.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Our success depends, in part, on our proprietary technology and know-how. To a great degree it also depends on our ability to broadly market our products to our potential customers, gain their acceptance of those products and then renewed subscription of those products. The Company owns, through its acquisitions of Investment Tools & Training and Razor Data (1) all the financial education products and education and teaching modules in both on-line and physical forms which it markets, sells and delivers through its businesses, (2) all technical tools, presentations, charts, analyses, strategies, customer teaching and support methodologies, subscription services delivery content and systems, and (3) all marketing know-how, product names and brands, logos, names descriptors, url’s and private labeling capability.

 

Government Regulation

 

We have positioned the Company as a knowledge provider and educator, which seeks to augment a user’s informed decision-making process, rather than act as a conductor of investment decisions or a representative of investment services. As such, our activities do not fall within the scope of securities industry regulation. We do not provide securities brokerage or investment advisory services. Our products and services also do not require that any representative distributing the services of Investview conduct themselves as an investment advisor or broker. We in fact encourage all representatives and users of our information services to seek unrelated investment professionals for securities related activities.

 

We are subject to government regulation in connection with securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies, as well as laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally. We are also increasingly subject to government regulation and legislation specifically targeting Internet companies, such as privacy regulations adopted at the local, state, national and international levels and taxes levied at the state level. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, enforcement of existing laws, such as consumer protection regulations, in connection with Web-based activities has become more aggressive, and it is expected that new laws and regulations will continue to be enacted at the local, state, national and international levels. Such new legislation, alone or combined with increasingly aggressive enforcement of existing laws, could inhibit the growth in use of the Internet and decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium, which could in turn decrease the demand for our services or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our future operating performance and business.

 

Employees

 

As of July 14, 2015, the Company has 12 employees. The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and considers relations with its employees to be good.

 

Internet Address

We make available free of charge on our Web site our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with or furnish it to the SEC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the following material risk factors as well as all other information set forth or referred to in this report before purchasing shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The Company believes all material risk factors have been presented below. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business operating results and financial condition would likely suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to purchase our common stock.

 

Risks Related to our Business Operations

 

We have a limited operating history, and therefore there is a high risk of potential business failure unless we can overcome the various obstacles inherent to an early stage business.

 

We have only limited prior business operations. Because of our limited operating history, you may not have adequate information on which you can base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Investors should be aware of the difficulties, delays and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its early stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated research and development expenses, employment costs, and administrative expenses. We cannot assure our investors that our proposed business plans as described herein will materialize or prove successful, or that we will be able to finalize development of our products or operate profitably.

 

We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception (August 1, 2005) and we may never achieve profitability.

 

From our inception on August 1, 2005 through March 31, 2015, we have incurred cumulative losses of $98,517,358. As a result of the start-up nature of our business, we expect to continue to incur substantial expenses. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability in the immediate future or at any time. Our cash balance on March 31, 2015 was $805,737 and our average cash burn for the year ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $221,000 per month. As of the date of this filing, we have minimal operating capital to continue our business and marketing initiatives for the next twelve months. As a result, the Company continues to actively secure additional financing for working capital through the sale of its securities.

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and our related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2015, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operations and the limited amount of funds on our balance sheet.  We have prepared our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. This could make it more difficult to raise capital in the future.

 

Given our historical financial losses and current financial condition, we will need additional financing to execute our business plan for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. Our inability to obtain sufficient additional capital could reduce the value the market currently places on our common stock.

 

We have no current commitment for such future funding and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Selling additional stock dilutes the equity interests of our stockholders. Further, if we sell stock at a price lower than the conversion price of the Notes held by the selling stockholders, the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of those Notes will automatically increase; thereby further diluting the equity interests of our stockholders. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we will be forced to reduce our investment in development and commercialization efforts, which will impair our ability to execute our plans. We used cash of  $2,648,782 in operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, which could slow or prevent our ability to achieve profitability.

 

The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our development and growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant rapid growth could strain our internal resources and delay or prevent our efforts to achieve profitability. We expect that our efforts to grow will place a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to successfully attract, train, motivate, retain and manage new employees and continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively slower growth is likely to occur and thereby slowing or negating our ability to achieve and sustain profitability.

 

We may not be able to fully protect our proprietary rights and we may infringe the proprietary rights of others which could result in costly litigation.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary rights related to our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property rights and technology without our authorization. The Company also relies on trade secrets, common law trademark rights and trademark registrations, as well as confidentiality and work for hire, development, assignment and license agreements with employees, consultants, third party developers, licensees and customers. Our protective measures for these intangible assets afford only limited protection and may be flawed or inadequate.

 

Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and some foreign laws do not provide the same level of protection as U.S. laws. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or patents that we may obtain, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.

 

In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. In particular, there has been an increase in the filing of suits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure defendants into entering settlement arrangements quickly to dispose of such suits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or individuals may allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights, is costly and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event of an adverse result, we could be liable for substantial damages and we may be forced to discontinue our use of the subject matter in question or obtain a license to use those rights or develop non-infringing alternatives. 

 

The industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry. Increased competition would make profitability even more difficult to achieve.

 

The Company competes with many providers of business and financial information including INVESTools, optionsXpress, Bloomberg, S&P’s Capital IQ, Dun & Bradstreet, Reuters, Standard & Poor’s, Thompson Financial, 10-K Wizard, MSN, Yahoo!, TheStreet.com among others. Its industry is characterized by low barriers to entry, rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product and service introductions and changing customer demands. Many of its existing competitors have longer operating histories, name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company does. Current competitors or new market entrants could introduce products with features that may render the Company’s products and services obsolete or uncompetitive. To be competitive and to serve its customers effectively, the Company must respond on a timely and cost-efficient basis to changes in technology, industry standards and customer preferences. The cost to modify its products, services or infrastructure in order to adapt to these changes could be substantial and the Company cannot be sure that it will have the financial resources to fund these expenses. Increased competition could result in reduced operating margins, as well as a loss of market share and brand recognition. If these events occur, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues.

Our business could be negatively affected by any adverse economic developments in the securities markets and/or the economy in general.

 

We depend on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities trading strategies to assist them in making their own investment decisions. Significant downturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be reluctant to make their own investment decisions and thus decrease the demand for our products.

 

Our business could be negatively affected by any improved economic developments in the securities markets and/or the economy in general.

 

We depend on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities trading strategies to assist them in making their own investment decisions. Significant upturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be less proactive in seeking ways to improve the returns on their trading or investment decisions and, thus, decrease the demand for our products.

 

The Company may encounter risks relating to security or other system disruptions and failures that could reduce the attractiveness of its sites and that could harm its business.

 

Although the Company has implemented various security mechanisms, its business is vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays or loss of data. For instance, because a portion of its revenue is based on individuals using credit cards to purchase subscriptions over the Internet and a portion from advertisers who seek to encourage people to use the Internet to purchase goods or services, the Company’s business could be adversely affected by these break-ins or disruptions. Additionally, its operations depend on its ability to protect systems against damage from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failure, and other events beyond the Company’s control. Moreover, the Company’s website may experience slower response times or other problems for a variety of reasons, including hardware and communication line capacity restraints, software failures or during significant increases in traffic when there have been important business or financial news stories and during the seasonal periods of peak SEC filing activity. These strains on its systems could cause customer dissatisfaction and could discourage visitors from becoming paying subscribers. The Company’s websites could experience disruptions or interruptions in service due to the failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of information from Investview.com. These types of occurrences could cause users to perceive its website and technology solutions as not functioning properly and cause them to use other methods or services of its competitors. Any disruption resulting from these actions may harm the Company’s business and may be very expensive to remedy, may not be fully covered by our insurance and could damage its reputation and discourage new and existing users from using its products and services. Any disruptions could increase costs and make profitability even more difficult to achieve.

 

The Company will need to introduce new products and services and enhance existing products and services to remain competitive.

 

Our future success depends in part on our ability to develop and enhance our products and services. In addition, the adoption of new Internet, networking or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require us to incur substantial expenditures to enhance or adapt our services or infrastructure. There are significant technical and financial costs and risks in the development of new or enhanced products and services, including the risk that we might be unable to effectively use new technologies, adapt our services to emerging industry standards or develop, introduce and market enhanced or new products and services. An inability to develop new products and services, or enhance existing offerings, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

 

The Company relies on external service providers to perform certain key functions.

 

We rely on a number of external service providers for certain key technology, processing, service and support functions. External content providers provide us with financial information, market news, charts, option and stock quotes, research reports and other fundamental data that we offer to clients. These service providers face technological and operational risks of their own. Any significant failures by them, including improper use or disclosure of our confidential client, employee or company information, could cause us to incur losses and could harm our reputation.

 

8
 

  

We cannot assure that any external service providers will be able to continue to provide these services in an efficient, cost-effective manner or that they will be able to adequately expand their services to meet our needs. An interruption in or the cessation of service by any external service provider as a result of systems failures, capacity constraints, financial constraints or problems, unanticipated trading market closures or for any other reason, and our inability to make alternative arrangements in a smooth and timely manner, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Company could face liability and other costs relating to storage and use of personal information about its users.

 

Users provide the Company with personal information, including credit card information, which it does not share without the user’s consent. Despite this policy of obtaining consent, however, if third persons were able to penetrate the Company’s network security or otherwise misappropriate its users’ personal or credit card information, it could be subject to liability, including claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims, and misuses of personal information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. New privacy legislation may further increase this type of liability. Furthermore, the Company could incur additional expenses if additional regulations regarding the use of personal information were introduced or if federal or state agencies were to investigate our privacy practices.

 

Legal uncertainties and government regulation of the Internet could adversely affect the Company’s business.

 

Many legal questions relating to the Internet remain unclear and these areas of uncertainty may be resolved in ways that damage the Company’s business. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws governing matters such as intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation apply to the Internet. In addition, new laws and regulations that apply directly to Internet communications, commerce and advertising are becoming more prevalent. As the use of the Internet grows, there may be calls for further regulation, such as more stringent consumer protection laws.

 

These possibilities could affect the Company’s business adversely in a number of ways. New regulations could make the Internet less attractive to users, resulting in slower growth in its use and acceptance than is expected. The Company may be affected indirectly by legislation that fundamentally alters the practicality or cost-effectiveness of utilizing the Internet, including the cost of transmitting over various forms of network architecture, such as telephone networks or cable systems, or the imposition of various forms of taxation on Internet-related activities. Complying with new regulations could result in additional cost to the Company, which could reduce its profit margins or leave it at risk of potentially costly legal action.

 

Our future success depends on retaining our existing key employees and hiring and assimilating new key employees. The loss of key employees or the inability to attract new key employees could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in lost sales and a slower rate of growth.

 

Our success depends in part on our ability to retain key employees including our executive officers. Although we have certain employment agreements in effect with our executives, each executive can terminate his or her agreement generally with 90 days’ notice. It would be difficult for us to replace any one of these individuals. In addition, as we grow we will need to hire additional key personnel. We may not be able to identify and attract high quality employees or successfully assimilate new employees into our existing management structure.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

We have a history of operating losses and expect to report future losses that may cause our stock price to decline.

 

For the operating period since inception (August 1, 2005) through March 31, 2015, we have incurred a net cumulative loss of $98,517,358. The Net Operating Loss for the year ended March 31, 2015 was $9,165,710. We expect to continue to incur losses as we spend additional capital to market our products and establish our infrastructure and organization to support anticipated operations.  We cannot be certain whether we will ever be profitable, or if we do, that we will be able to continue to be profitable. Also, any economic weakness or global recession may limit our ability to market our products. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and result in you losing a portion or all of your investment. 

 

9
 

  

We will need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail.

 

Because our revenues are not yet sufficient to cover expenses or fund our growth, we need to secure on-going funding. If we are unable to obtain adequate additional financing, we may not be able to successfully market and sell our products, our business operations will most likely be discontinued and we will cease to be a going concern. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities. Under these circumstances, we may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower stock price.

 

Our common stock has experienced in the past, and is expected to experience in the future, significant price and volume volatility, which substantially increases the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that you pay for the shares.

 

Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·variations in our quarterly operating results;
·our ability to complete the research and development of our technologies;
·the development of a future market for our products;
·changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·additions or departures of key personnel; and
·fluctuations in stock market price and volume.

 

Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price regardless of our operating performance. The historical trading of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our trading price as of the date of this prospectus is not necessarily an indicator of what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future. In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies’ common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.

 

Shares of our common stock may be subject to price illiquidity and volatility because our shares may continue to be thinly traded and may never become eligible for trading on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange.

 

Although a trading market for our common stock exists, the trading volume has not been significant and an active trading market for our common stock may never develop. There currently is no analyst coverage of our business. During the period from March 31, 2014 through March 31, 2015  the average daily trading volume of our common stock was approximately  6,450 shares (or approximately   0.1% of the shares currently available in the market as of March 31, 2015). The trading volume of our shares will continue to be limited due to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws and the fact that approximately 55% of our outstanding shares are held by officers, directors and stockholders holding greater than a 5% interest in the Company. As a result of the limited trading market for our common stock and the lack of analyst coverage, the market price for our shares may continue to fluctuate significantly and will likely be more volatile than the stock market as a whole. There may be a limited demand for shares of our common stock due to the reluctance or inability of certain investors to buy stocks quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, lack of analyst coverage of our common stock and limited trading market for our common stock. As a result, even if prices appear favorable, there may not be sufficient demand to complete a stockholder’s sell order. Without an active public trading market or broader public ownership, shares of our common stock are likely to be less liquid than the stock of public companies with broad public ownership and an active trading market, and any of our stockholders who attempt to sell their shares in any significant volumes may not be able to do so at all, or without depressing the publicly quoted bid prices for our shares.

While we may, at some point, be able to meet the requirements necessary for our common stock to be listed on the NASDAQ stock market or on another national securities exchange, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve such a listing. Listing on one of the NASDAQ markets or one of the national securities exchanges is subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and minimum public “float” requirements. There are also continuing eligibility requirements for companies listed on national securities exchanges. If we are unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit your ability to sell your shares, which could result in you losing some or all of your investments.

 

There is no assurance of an established public trading market, which would adversely affect the ability of investors in our company to sell their securities in the public markets.

 

Although our common stock trades on the OTCQB, a regular trading market for our common stock may not be sustained in the future. OTC Markets limits quotation on the OTCQB , to securities of issuers that are current in their reports filed with the SEC. If we fail to be current in the filing of our reports with the SEC, our common stock will not be able to be traded on the OTCQB.  The OTCQB is an inter-dealer market that provides significantly less liquidity than a national securities exchange or automated quotation system. Quotes for stocks included on the OTCQB are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for stocks listed on national securities exchanges or automated quotation systems. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTCQB may be difficult to obtain and holders of common stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Market prices for our common stock may be influenced by a number of factors, including:

 

·the issuance of new equity securities;
·changes in interest rates;
·competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
·variations in quarterly operating results;
·change in financial estimates by securities analysts;
·the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;
·investor perceptions of our company and the technologies industries generally; and
·general economic and other national conditions.

 

Our Common Stock will be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

·that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

·obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

11
 

  

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

·sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Failure To Achieve And Maintain Internal Controls In Accordance With Sections 302 And 404(A) Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business And Stock Price.

 

If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls or fail to implement required new or improved controls, as such control standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time; we may not be able to assert that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important in the prevention of financial fraud.  If we cannot produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and there could be a material adverse effect on our stock price. We have examined and evaluated our internal control procedures, including controls over financial reporting to satisfy the requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as required for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015, and noted weaknesses that need to be addresses during the current reporting period in order for our internal controls to be effective. Failure to implement and maintain internal controls in accordance with sections 302 and 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

 

Because we have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investments.

  

We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and investment opportunities. In addition, our senior credit facility limits the payment of dividends without the prior written consent of the lenders. Accordingly, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur.

 

Certain provisions of Nevada law and of our corporate charter may inhibit a potential acquisition of our Company, and this could depress our stock price.

 

Nevada corporate law includes provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company or our management. These provisions could discourage information contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. For example:

 

(i)without prior stockholder approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of common stock and to determine the rights, privileges and inference of that preferred stock;

 

12
 

  

(ii)there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and
(iii)stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders.

From time to time, we 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 our business. The Company had no pending legal proceedings or claims other than described above as of March 31, 2015.

 

None of our directors, officers, or affiliates are involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or have a material interest adverse to our business.

Background

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 1, 2005 as Voxpath Holding, Inc. Effective September 18, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.com, Inc., on October 1 2008 changed its name to Global Investor Services, Inc. and on March 27, 2012 changed its name to Investview, Inc.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The Company’s target market is comprised of a large base of entry level investors, active investors in the on-line brokerage sector and higher-end users of financial information, services and financial news.

 

The Company’s marketing strategy is designed to grow the business by delivering high customer value in education and investor services at the lowest possible cost. The strategy is achieved through on-line customer acquisition, product sales and customer service.

 

Customer acquisition is realized through the company’s marketing partners, in-person seminars and through on-line marketing. Our partners have the marketing and operations capability to attract customers by way of low cost introductory courses and products which then allows for up-sell opportunities to a complete on-line education curriculum and expanded investor services. Customer service is supported by a comprehensive client management system that tracks the customer throughout the purchase, education and added services cycle which also includes live data feeds, news and investment letters.

 

On-line education delivery is completed starting with early stage courses through a complete curriculum of learning modules, podcasts, webinars and webisodes. In addition, our customer management system follows every student at this level in the form of surveys, competency assessments, learning assignments, hotline, coaching and mentoring.

 

The Company leverages a number of different delivery formats that are focused on a structured investing methodology focused on searching for an investment, industry group analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and portfolio management. The objective is to provide a complete investor education experience for both beginning and experienced investors and to help investors better understand the investment decision process.

 

In addition to the Company’s Legacy Investor Education business, the Company is utilizing its extensive data base to grow its asset management business unit under the SAFE Management Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) platform, and to support the expansion of its 7 Minute Investor product lines.

 

The majority owned Vickrey Brown is continuing to develop and market Universal Investment Trusts (UIT’s) that are being sold through major financial institutions to their clients.

Investor Information Services

 

The Company provides a complete turnkey solution to its clients in the financial community by providing a broad array of information services that include stock market information and tools, comprehensive database creation and management, distributed web hosting and network environments, and complete e-content creation, management and delivery.

 

The table below outlines revenues and significant operating expenses for comparable periods:

 

Revenues:

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended     
   March 31, 2015   March 31, 2014   Variance 
                               
Total  $709,229    100%  $1,048,451    100%  $(339,222)   (32)%

 

We realized a drop in our revenues of 32% for the year ended March 31, 2015 from the prior year as we continue to transition to our online based modeling. We proactively introduced both new products and a new marketing strategy to improve the lifetime value of our accounts. We are now emphasizing our online based business model which provides subscription based services including trading ideas, tools and education through live and recorded webinars and is marketed through a number of online media channels. Our trading and education tools are located at www.Investview.com whereas our 7 minute products have their own websites:www.7minute trader.com, 7minuteoptions.com, 7minutestocks.com and coming soon 7minuteinvestor.com.

 

As we measured the attrition rates of the trading and education offerings we determined that their lifetime value was approximating our cost of acquisition for the education products. As clients move through the education modules they tend to exhaust their interest and either attrite or shift to the lower priced 7 minute products. Introduction of the 7 minute products have resulted in a better adoption rate, a markedly improved retention rate and significantly lower acquisition costs. The reduction in revenue was due to the shift in product strategy to the 7 minute products which have a lower average sell price as opposed to the education based products.

 

Operating costs

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended         
   March 31, 2015   March 31, 2014   Variance 
Cost of sales and service  $81,841    1%  $57,582    1%  $24,259    42%
Selling, general and administrative   5,536,771    99%   3,978,372    96%   1,558,399    39%
Impairment of goodwill   -    -    123,592    3%   (123,592)   (100)%
Total  $5,618,612    100%  $4,159,546    100%  $1,459,066    44%

 

Operating costs were increased approximately $1,459,000 year over year primarily from our increase in selling, general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization, cost of sales and service net with decrease of impairment charges.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, our cost of sales and service was $81,841 as compared to $57,582 during the year ended March 31, 2014. Most of this expense is composed of stock market data feeds to the Company’s core educational product line’s stock analysis tools. During the year ended March 31, 2015, carrier costs increased as compared to the prior year. Also important to note is that the 7 minute products do not use data feeds.

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $3,978,372 last fiscal year to $5,536,771 in fiscal year 2015 or $1,558,399 (39%). The primary increase is due to our increased costs incurred with Vickrey Brown Investments and GGI, Inc., our two newly formed majority owned subsidiaries which began in current year. GGI, Inc. also had been sold as of March 31, 2015.

 

17
 

  

During the year ended March 31, 2014, we performed an evaluation of our goodwill and other acquired intangible assets for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2014. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its goodwill in connection with the acquisition of Safe exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2014.  As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $123,592, net of tax to reduce the carrying value to $0.

 

Other income and expenses:

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended     
   March 31, 2015   March 31, 2014   Variance 
                         
Interest expense, net  $(583,809)   12%  $(870,918)   89%  $(287,109)   (33)%
Gain on change in fair value of warrant and reset derivative   324    (-)%   4,113    (-)%   3,789    92%
Loss on settlement of debt and warrants   (4,159,851)   88%   (106,736)   11%   4,053,115    3,797%
Loss on sale of subsidiary   (1,801)   (-)%             1,801    100%
Other   -    -%   233    -%   233    100%
                               
Total  $(4,745,137)   100%  $(973,308)   100%  $3,771,829    388%

 

Interest expense decreased from $870,918 to $583,809, a $287,109 or 33% decrease.  The decrease is because of a major recapitalization of the Company over the past year whereby we converted a significant portion of our debt to equity.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2010, we issued promissory notes and related warrants that contain certain reset provisions.  As such, we are required to record these reset provisions as a liability and mark them to market each reporting period.  For the year ended March 31, 2015, we recorded a gain of $324 in change in the fair value of these reset provisions vs. a gain in fiscal year 2014 of $4,113. As of March 31, 2015, these warrants had expired.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we offered inducements to $2,300,000 of our convertible notes, some of which was maturing in the current quarter to convert or to exchange for new convertible note. As an inducement to convert, we offered conversion terms of $1.00 a share as compared to the contractual $4.00 a share. In addition, we offered to exchange an aggregate of 287,500 previously issued warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes with an exercise price of $6.00 with 3,024,158 warrants exercisable at $1.50. Of the $2,300,000 convertible notes, $1,200,000 chose to exchange for a new three year convertible note.

 

As such, we offered an inducement of 10% of the proceeds due on the old convertible debt including interest as an addition to the face of the new convertible debt. As a result, we incurred an aggregate loss on settlement of $4,027,702 during the nine months ended December 31, 2014.

 

Additionally, on December 30, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 24,800 shares of its common stock and warrants to acquire 24,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for five years in settlement of the unsecured promissory notes and accrued interest. In connection with the settlement, we recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $91,109.

 

Additionally, on October 23, 2014, the Company issued 20,270 shares of its common stock in settlement of $12,162 accounts payable. In connection with the settlement, Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $18,040.

 

Additionally, in October 2014, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock in payment of accrued officer salaries of $51,500. In connection with the settlement, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $23,000.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2014, we settled or restructured a portion of our outstanding, payables, convertible debt obligations and warrants containing reset provisions.  As such, we incurred a loss on debt settlement of $106,736 during each of the year ended March 31, 2014.

On December 4, 2014, we formed GGI Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware for the purchase certain assets including the source code and platform use for the development of an electronic marketplace to facilitate impact investing. On March 13, 2015, we sold GGI, Inc. in exchange for $1,147,500 cash, assumption of $579,452 of debt and return of an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc. As a result of the exchange, we incurred a loss on sale of majority owned subsidiary of $1,801.

 

Loss on discontinued operations:

 

As of March 31, 2013, we had ceased operating Instilend Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary we acquired on October 24, 2012. As such, we classified the operating results as discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. A summary of the results of discontinued operations are as follows:

  

   2015   2014 
Sales  $-   $31,736 
           
Operating costs:          
Selling, general and administrative   (232,168)   81,415 
Loss on disposal of assets   -    18,515 
Total operating costs   (232,168)   99,930 
    -      
Net income (loss) before income tax benefit   232,168    (68,194)
Income tax (benefit)   -    (102,891)
Net Income  $232,168   $34,697 

 

Net gain of $232,168 for the year ended March 31, 2015 represents adjustments a reversal of a prior share based accrual cancelled previously recorded in prior year.

 

Non-controlling interest:

 

During the current year, the Company organized two majority owned subsidiaries, Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC and GGI, Inc. The proportionate share of the subsidiaries losses not attributable to the Company was $256,642 for the year ended March 31, 2015.

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities:

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we increased our rate of usage of cash on a monthly basis from operations to approximately $220,700 as compared to approximately $98,900 in the same period last year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During fiscal year 2015, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $9,654,520. However, only $2,647,050 was cash related. This negative cash flow was funded by undertaking significant restructuring and deleveraging of the capital structure of the Company. As a result, our cash and cash equivalents were $805,737 an increase of $609,954 from the previous year of $195,783.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets equal to a working capital deficit of $1,204,965. A year ago, at March 31, 2014, the working capital deficit was $5,220,806. Most significantly, our related party debt, primarily accrued salaries and wages, decreased from $1,936,992 to $392,800 for the current year. Also, due to restructuring of our debt, the current maturity of our long term debt decreased from $1,601,501 to $613,449 for the current period. In addition, our accounts payable decreased from $1,486,175 for the year ended March 31, 2014 to $1,025,307 for the year ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $460,868. Additionally deferred revenue is a non-cash current liability equal to $41,585 as compared to $64,194 the prior year.

Auditor’s Opinion Expresses Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a “Going Concern”

 

The independent auditors report on our March 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements states that the Company's historical losses and accumulated deficiency raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, due to the losses incurred and accumulated deficiency. If we are unable to develop our business, we will have to reduce, discontinue operations or cease to exist, which would be detrimental to the value of the Company's common stock. We can make no assurances that our business operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to continue operations.

 

In order to improve the Company's liquidity, the Company's management is actively pursuing additional financing through discussions with investment bankers, financial institutions and private investors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional financing.

 

Addressing the Going Concern Issues

 

We anticipate we will need significant additional financing as liquidity to manage our negative working capital position, plus any future cash flow deficits from operations and development costs. We are working to reduce the negative cash flow from operations by expanding revenue opportunities via new products and client acquisition strategies. At the same time we have eliminated large amounts of our operating costs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to develop profitable operations. We are devoting substantially all of our efforts to developing our business and raising capital. Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. Additionally, we will need capital to implement the strategic thrusts and tactics of our business plan, including becoming a brokerage firm and a managed products firm. Our business plan encompasses investing behind our business development strategy, our marketing campaigns and in building our business operations. As of the date of this filing, we have minimal operating capital to continue our business and marketing initiatives for the next twelve months. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources to finance our growth, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and we will have to adjust our planned operations and development on a more limited scale. To satisfy our liquidity needs for the next twelve months and to implement the major initiatives of our business plan, we need to raise approximately $2 to $5 million dollars.

 

20
 

   

We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations. Although additional capital is being sought, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments.

  

Inflation

 

The impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on the Company's operations over the past quarter, and the Company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the payments are received before the service has been rendered. Beginning January 1, 2009, the company changed its marketing strategy such that the company no longer collects revenues in advance of rendering services.  Instead, for all new customers, a monthly subscription fee is received for access to the online training and courses and website/data during a given month.  As all the products and services are delivered during the month, the revenues are recognized in the month it is delivered.   All revenues collected in prior periods from the legacy marketing strategy are deferred and recognized as per the existing revenue recognition policy. Additionally, any revenues from services such as coaching/counseling that are sold in advance of delivery will be deferred using the existing revenue recognition policy. Thus we have two distinct revenue models that were used during fiscal years 2014 and 2013 and revenue under either model will be recognized under its appropriate model. The Company reserves the option to operate under either model as the business environment dictates.

 

21
 

  

We sell our products separately and in various bundles that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:  

 

Product   Recognition Policy
Live Workshops and Workshop Certificates   Deferred and recognized as the workshop is provided or certificate expires
Online training and courses   Deferred and recognized a.) as the services are delivered, or b.) when usage thresholds are met, or c.) on a straight-line basis over the initial product period
Coaching/Counseling services   Deferred and recognized as services are delivered, or on a straight-line basis over the life of the customer’s contract
  Website/data fees (monthly)   Not Deferred, recognized in the month delivered
Website/data fees (pre-paid subscriptions)   Deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period
  SAFE Managed Portfolios   1% Annual Investment Advisory Fee prorated and billed on a monthly basis, revenue is recognized when paid.
     
White label agreements   Client is charged a license fee for access to products, which is billed and paid on a monthly basis. Revenue is recognized when fee is billed.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s deferred revenue was $41,585 and $64,194, respectively.

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-50, Website Development Costs ("ASC 350-50”). As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website is included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses. During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not capitalize any costs associated with the website development.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for software development costs intended for sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 985-20, Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 requires product development costs to be charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is attained and all other research and development activities for the hardware components of the product have been completed. Technological feasibility is attained when the planning, design and testing phase related to the development of the Company’s software has been completed and the software has been determined viable for its intended use, which typically occurs when beta testing commences.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

22
 

  

Stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees and directors for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $-0-.

 

Segment Information

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. Since Instilend was discontinued, the information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s one principal operating segment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

 

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock.

 

Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results

 

We have sought to identify what we believe are significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise.

 

Potential Fluctuations in Annual Operating Results

 

Our annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including: the demand for our products and services; seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the commercial and consumer financing; price competition or pricing changes in the market; technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the consumer financing sector.

 

Our annual results may also be significantly impacted by the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Particularly at our early stage of development, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results may fall below our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.

 

23
 

  

Dependence Upon Management

 

Our future performance and success is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of our Management. To a very significant degree, we are dependent upon the continued services of Joseph J. Louro, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors and William Kosoff, our Chief Financial Officer and member of our Board of Directors. If we lost the services of Dr. Louro or Mr. Kosoff, or other key employees before we could get qualified replacements, the loss could materially adversely affect our business.

 

Our officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in our Management affairs. Our bylaws provide, however, that our directors shall have no liability to us or to our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except with respect to (1) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) liability which may be specifically defined by law or (4) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Management of Growth

 

We may experience growth, which will place a strain on our managerial, operational and financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and manage growth if it occurs, we must devote management attention and resources to improve our financial strength and our operational systems. Further, we will need to expand, train and manage our sales and distribution base. There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively manage our existing operations or the growth of our operations, or that our facilities, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support any future growth. Our ability to manage our operations and any future growth will have a material effect on our stockholders.

 

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2015.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties, tax compliance issues and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff and reliance on outside consultants for external reporting.  The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.  

 

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outside accounting consultants. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

 

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.

 

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

  

Changes in Internal Controls

 

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

 

On October 14, 2014, the Company’s majority stockholders approved to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 15,000,000 to 60,000,000 shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Investview, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Investview, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2015. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended March 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Note 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2015, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Investview, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 10, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Voxpath Holding, Inc. On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc., on October 1, 2008 to Global Investor Services, Inc. and on March 27, 2012 to Investview, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers.

 

In August 2014, the Company formed Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC, a limited liability company under the laws of California with 51% membership interests specializing in investment strategies which combine quantitative strategies, forensic accounting and volatility controls. At formation, the minority members paid an aggregate of $1,000 as equity contribution. The Company contributed $120,000 as equity contribution and is contingently obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock upon achieving certain milestones (as defined). Prior to all distributions, the Company is to receive 25% of all revenue generated until at which time the $120,000 equity contribution of the Company has been paid.

 

On December 4, 2014, the Company formed GGI Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware for the purchase certain assets including the source code and platform use for the development of an electronic marketplace to facilitate impact investing. On December 27, 2014, the Company exchanged 21% ownership of GGI Inc. for two employment agreements. In connection with the aforementioned exchange, the Company charged 21% of the fair value of the net assets distributed of $338,050 as employee compensation expense. On March 13, 2015, the Company sold GGI, Inc. in exchange for $1,147,500 cash, assumption of $579,452 of debt and return of an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc. (see Note 4).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Investment Tools & Training, LLC ("ITT"), Razor Data Corp ("Razor") and SAFE Management LLC ("Safe") and its majority owned subsidiaries, Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC and GGI INC. (from December 4, 2014 through March 13, 2015, the time of ownership). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

 

The Company defers any revenue for which the product or services has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

F-7
 

 

Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the customers are charged a monthly subscription fee for access to the online training and courses and website/data.  Revenues are recognized in the month the product and services are delivered.

 

The Company sells its products separately and in various bundles that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

 

Product   Recognition Policy
Live Workshops and Workshop Certificates   Deferred and recognized as the workshop is provided or certificate expires
     
Online training and courses   Deferred and recognized a.) as the services are delivered, or b.) when usage thresholds are met, or c.) on a straight-line basis over the initial product period
     
Coaching/Counseling services   Deferred and recognized as services are delivered, or on a straight-line basis over the life of the customer’s contract
     
Website/data fees (monthly)   Not deferred, recognized in the month delivered
     
Website/data fees (pre-paid subscriptions)    Deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period

 

Cost of Sales and Service

 

The cost of sales and service consists of the cost of the data feeds that supply twenty minute delayed stock market data to the Company’s stock analysis software based tool, external partner commissions and other costs associated with the repair or maintenance of the website.

 

Impairment of long lived assets

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company management performed an evaluation of its goodwill and other acquired intangible assets for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2014. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its goodwill in connection with the acquisition of Safe exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2014.  As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $123,592, net of tax to reduce the carrying value to $0. The impairment charge is reflected as part of the loss from operations in the accompanying financial statements. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

 

F-8
 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2015 and 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not grant stock options to employees.

 

In addition, the Company issued restricted stock units ("RSU") to employees during the year ended March 31, 2014. The fair value of the vesting RSUs of $384,688 and $1,089,850 was recorded as a current period charge to earnings during the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $169,057 and $254,808 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s expenditures on research and product development were immaterial.

 

F-9
 

 

Website Development Costs

 

The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 350-50, Website Development Costs ("ASC 350-50”). As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the website were included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses. During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not capitalize any costs associated with the website development.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company accounts for software development costs intended for sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 985-20, Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 requires product development costs to be charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is attained and all other research and development activities for the hardware components of the product have been completed. Technological feasibility is attained when the planning, design and testing phase related to the development of the Company’s software has been completed and the software has been determined viable for its intended use, which typically occurs when beta testing commences.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Office equipment 5 years
Software 3 to 7 years

 

Segment Information

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s only material principal operating segment after the discontinued operations of Instilend (See Note 14).

 

F-10
 

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities. The Company had no comprehensive income or losses at March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants

 

The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive officers, employees and key consultants. The loss of any of the senior management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation. In determining the discontinued operations fully diluted earnings per share, the Company did not allocate any common stock equivalents, therefore the basic and fully diluted per share amounts are the same.

 

Prepaid expenses

 

Prepaid expenses include the fair value of the Company’s common stock issued for future services of $121,288 to consultants and is amortized ratably over the future service life. For the year ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded as current period charge to operations $212,853 and $-0-, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

F-11
 

 

2. GOING CONCERN MATTERS

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant recurring losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $98,517,358, and working capital deficiency (total current liabilities in excess of total current assets) of $1,204,965 at March 31, 2015, and the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $2,647,050 for the year ended March 31, 2015, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital and upon the Company’s attaining profitable operations. The Company will require a substantial amount of additional funds to complete the development of its products, to build a sales and marketing organization, and to fund additional losses which the Company expects to incur over the next few years. The management of the Company intends to seek additional funding through a Private Placement Offering which will be utilized to fund product development and continue operations. The Company recognizes that, if it is unable to raise additional capital, it may find it necessary to substantially reduce or cease operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

The Company’s property and equipment at March 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

   2015   2014 
Software  $2,920,000   $2,920,000 
Computer equipment   4,211    4,211 
Office equipment   23,568    23,568 
    2,947,779    2,947,779 
Less accumulated depreciation   (2,947,779)   (2,947,779)
   $-0-   $-0- 

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.

 

Depreciation expense charged to operations amounted to approximately $80,488 and $-0-, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

On December 17, 2014, GGI Inc., a former majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into Asset Purchase Agreement with Gate Global Impact Inc. (“Gate”), a Delaware corporation, to purchase certain assets including the source code and platform use for the development of an electronic marketplace to facilitate impact investing. The closing occurred on December 17, 2014 whereby GGI paid consideration of $224,541 in cash and 725,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The aggregate acquired fair value of $1,609,764 is depreciated over an estimated useful life of five years. On March 13, 2015, the Company sold GGI, Inc. in exchange for $1,147,500 cash, assumption of debt of $579,452 and return of an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to Eximius, an entity providing an option to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc. thereby incurring a net loss on disposal of subsidiary of $1,801.

As of March 31, 2015, date of the sale, the aggregate accrued stock based compensation assumed by the acquirer was $479,452 and was included as part of the debt assumption described above. (see Note 4).

4. INVESTMENTS

 

The Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with CertusHoldings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire CertusSecurities, Inc., a Georgia Corporation (“CSI”), and CertusInvestment Advisers, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“CIA”). The Company received the executed signatures from CertusHoldings, Inc. on December 2, 2014. CSI is a registered broker-dealer engaged in the business of providing investment advice and other financial advisory services and products to private accounts of certain institutional and individual investors. CIA is a registered investment advisor engaged in the business of providing investment advice and other financial advisory services and products to private accounts of certain institutional and individual investors. The aggregate purchase price was $190,000 plus 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the option to acquire from third party. On March 13, 2015, in connection with the sale of GGI, Inc., 1,350,000 previously issued common shares for the right to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc. were returned and cancelled. The fair value of the net common shares issued of $512,500 (250,000) was charged to current period operations as indirect acquisition costs. The closing is subject to board and regulatory approval.

 

As of March 31, 2015, regulatory approval have not been granted. Accordingly, the fair value of the issued common stock is reflected as other assets, investments in the Company’s balance sheet.

NOTE 18. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740, Income Taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The federal and state income tax provision (benefit) for March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 consists of the following:

 

Income Taxes

 

   2015   2014 
         
Income tax expense from continuing operations:          
Current:          
Federal        (35,773)
State        - 
Total current   -    (35,773)
           
Deferred:          
Federal   -    102,027 
State   -    36,637

   2015   2014 
         
Income tax expense from discontinued operations:          
Current:          
Federal   -    35,773 
State   -    - 
Total current   -    35,773 
           
Deferred:          
Federal   -    (102,027)
State   -    (36,637)
Total deferred   -    (138,664)
           
Total provision (benefit)   -    (102,891)

 

Deferred income taxes represent the tax effect of transactions that are reported in different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes. Temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to a significant portion of the deferred income tax benefits and liabilities are as follows at March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014:

 

   2015   2014 
         
Long-term deferred income tax assets before valuation allowance:          
Loss carryforwards  $17,364,515   $13,613,626 
Employee stock options   1,346,401    1,192,666 
Deferred compensation   792,713    823,770 
Intangible assets   5,648,393    6,624,971 
Reserve on note   589,155    - 
Fixed assets   205,974    235,867 
Unpaid officer salaries   676,793    703,308 
Other   458,587    457,436 
           
Total long-term deferred income tax assets before valuation allowance  $27,082,531   $23,651,644 
Less valuation allowance   (26,879,751)   (23,987,188)
Total long-term deferred income tax assets  $202,780   $(335,544)
           
Long-term deferred income tax liabilities:          
Beneficial conversion feature  $-   $(21,545)
Deferred Gain on Installment   (202,780)   - 
           
Total deferred income tax liabilities  $(202,780)  $(21,545)
           
Net deferred income tax assets/(liabilities)  $0   $(357,089)

 

The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of the deferred tax assets, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $48,000,000 of federal and state loss carryforwards which expire at various dates through fiscal year 2035. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $38,000,000 of federal and state loss carryforwards which expire at various dates through fiscal year 2034.

 

Due to possible changes in the Company's ownership, the future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited. All or portion of the remaining valuation allowance may be reduced in future years based on an assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax benefits.

 

F-31
 

 

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

 

   2015   2014 
         
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate   35.0%   35.0%
State taxes   1.2%   5.3%
Derivative liability   0.0%   0.0%
Loss on settlement of debt   0.0%   0.0%
Warrants Write-off   0.0%   -2.9%
Gain on Sale of Stock   -1.8%   0.0%
Common Stock for Services Rendered   -2.4%   -3.4%
Employment taxes penalty   0.0%   0.0%
Other   -1.6%   -12.2%
True up   0.8%   0.0%
Increase in valuation allowance   -31.2%   -24.3%
Effective income tax rate   0.0%   -2.5%

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate is different from the federal statutory tax rate predominantly due to the valuation allowance recorded.

 

The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 in accounting for its uncertain tax positions.  ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has determined that the Company has no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740.

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change within the next twelve months.

 

The Company is required to file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, in New York State, New Jersey, and in Utah. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before March 31, 2012.

 

19.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

F-32
 

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

 

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities through March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any Level 3 financial liabilities: 

 

   Warrant 
   Derivative 
   Liability 
Balance, March 31, 2013  $4,437 
      
Mark-to-market at March 31, 2014:     
- Warrants reset provision   (4,113)
      
Balance, March 31, 2014:   324 
      
Mark-to-market at March 31, 2015:     
- Warrants reset provision   (324)
      
Balance, March 31, 2015  $- 
      
Net gain for the period included in earnings relating to the liabilities held at March 31, 2015  $324
