PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

CoroWare, Inc is a public holding company whose principal subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), has expertise in information technology consulting, mobile robotics, and affordable collaboration.  Through our subsidiary, CoroWare delivers custom engineering services, hardware and software products, and subscription services that benefit customers in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East.  Our customers span multiple industry sectors and comprise universities, large enterprises and small businesses, software and hardware product development companies, and non-profit organizations.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2012, we had sixteen (16) employees composed of one (1) full time Officer and CEO, one (1) full time Director of Sales, one (1) full time Finance Administrator, two (2) full time Business Unit Managers, eight (8) full time engineers, and three (3) part time engineers. Our employees are not represented by a union. We consider relations with our employees to be positive and productive.

 

COROWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

CTI is a software professional services company with a strong focus on Information Technology integration and robotics integration, business automation solutions, and unmanned systems solutions to its customers in North America and Europe.

 

CTI’s expertise includes the deployment and integration of computing platforms and applications, as well as the development of unmanned vehicle software and solutions for customers in the research, commercial, and homeland security market segments.  CTI shall continue to offer its high value software systems development and integration services that complement the growing trend in outsourced software development services in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

 

CoroWare Technologies comprises three separately managed lines of business:

·CoroWare Business Solutions:  IT and lab management; business intelligence; software architecture, design and development; content delivery; partner and program management.
·Robotics and Automation:  Custom engineering such as visualization, simulation and software development; and mobile robot platforms.
·Enhanced Collaboration Solution:  Collaboration and conferencing products, solutions and subscription services.

 

The Company’s revenues are principally derived from standing contracts that include Microsoft (partner management and IT professional services), a European auto manufacturer (simulation software custom development), and other customers whose product development groups require custom software development and consulting companies. Existing contract revenues vary month by month based on the demands of the clients. The Company’s collaboration effort is in the early stages of growth and will require additional working capital to compete effectively against new entrants in this rapidly growing market.                                                              

 

CoroWare Business Solutions

 

CoroWare Business Solutions (CBS) offers systems integration services that help our customers deliver secure, high quality revenue generating  products and solutions.

Products and Solutions :

 

In 2013, we announced two new products for the cloud service providers and enterprise customers:

  • CoroWare Cybersecurity for Enterprise Applications, which is built upon DSI’s Spread Spectrum IPTM patented network security technology.

 

In 2012, we also delivered the below products:

  • CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo, a software package that provides usage statistics for Vidyo brand high-definition video conferencing systems.

·         Billing Integration Framework for Accumulus and Vidyo, a software solution that integrates flexible billing from Accumulus Corp with the call detail records from Vidyo to create more flexible video conferencing subscription services.

 

In early 2011, we announced CoroWare License Manager™, a software license management solution that offers Cloud Service Providers and on-premise software publishers the ability to remotely enable, monitor, and configure cloud-based applications using a centralized management server.

 

Business Intelligence

 

Our CTI’s solutions development group has created a variety of business intelligence applications to enable our customers to better understand and manage the data surrounding their own products and business services.

 

Content Management

 

Our program managers are experts in Microsoft's product and solution development tools and processes. CTI uses that experience to create product specifications, develop project plans, and perform security and release management audits – with the objective of helping Microsoft deliver its solutions and products efficiently, affordably and on schedule. 

 

Lab Management

 

CTI's team of experienced hardware and software deployment engineers architect, deploy and support state-of-the-art computer lab facilities that include the latest builds of operating systems, developer tools, and servers. CTI employees currently provide lab management and systems engineering support services in three Microsoft data centers and labs.

 

Software Development

 

CTI’s solutions development group has been instrumental in helping product development companies, including MetraTech, design, prototype, develop and test new products and solutions.  CoroWare’s consulting staff comprises a wide range of software architects with over 20 years experience, “user experience” application developers, web service software developers, database consultants, and project managers. 

 

In order to compete with outsourcing software and IT consulting companies in India and China, CoroWare established a near shore consulting services group in 2007 as a low cost alternative with same time zone presence.  CoroWare's Latin America partnerships offer superior cost dynamics and a near time zone alternative to Europe / US businesses requiring Spanish language capability.  CoroWare's Near Shore Consulting Services offer a stable rate against the dollar, as well as close proximity, and a familiarity with US business processes.

Robotics and Automation (R&A)

 

We are a mobile robotics solutions integrator in the research community and have expertise in robotics simulation and software development.  Our CoroBot and Explorer product lines are being used by over 50 corporate and academic researchers today.

 

Custom Engineering

 

We offer custom engineering expertise to customers who are looking for product realization, robotics simulation, systems architecture and design, and robotic applications development services. We believe CTI is uniquely positioned with its knowledge of robotics simulation; Player-Stage and Robotic Operating System (ROS) running on Ubuntu Linux systems; Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) and Decentralized Software Services (DSS) running on Microsoft Windows systems; embedded systems software development; and hardware and software integration services to help its customers deliver innovative product and solutions.

 

Solutions and Products

 

In May 2007, we began shipping the CoroBot Classic, an affordable and flexible mobile robot that was designed to minimize the complexity of robotic development. Combining a powerful PC-class platform with a robust, object-oriented software development system empowers researchers and robotics application developers to rapidly deploy and develop robotic solutions.  Some university customers are deploying CoroBot Classics for use in various lab activities, including the development of swarm robotics applications designed to leverage groups of robots to complete complex tasks.

 

In June 2009, we began shipping the CoroBot Explorer. With more powerful motors, larger payload capacity, articulated suspension and enclosed electronics it is suitable for indoor or outdoor usage.

 

In 2010 and early 2011, we announced new features for the CoroBot Explorer II platform and support for Robot Operating System, which we believe will improve our sales into the research and education market segments.

 

In 2012, we reorganized our robotics division and moved the facility to Charlotte, North Carolina, to take better advantage of strategic partnerships with the University of North Carolina Charlotte.

 

Enterprise Collaboration Solutions (ECS)

 

Vidyo Reseller Business

 

In early 2009, we launched our collaboration – now referred to as Enterprise Collaboration Solutions - initiative in order to address the needs of enterprise customers with distributed business operations that are turning to new technologies to address the cost of doing business in a world that is increasingly dependent on suppliers, partners and customers worldwide.  In order to overcome these challenges, enterprise customers are looking for solutions that are demonstrably effective and operationally affordable.  As a result, small, medium and large sized businesses, including consulting companies, non-profit groups, and distance learning companies, are all giving serious consideration to purchasing affordable high definition videoconferencing solutions.

 

Through our partnership with Vidyo (http://www.vidyo.com), we are deploying high definition video conferencing solutions, including collaboration room systems, and offering CoroCallTM Business Class HD Video Conferencing (http://www.corocall.com), an affordable high definition videoconferencing subscription service that is based on Vidyo’s technology.

CoroCall Subscription Services

 

As CoroWare began selling the Vidyo product line in 2009, many customers expressed a desire to mitigate capital expenditures and purchase cloud-based communication services instead. In response to this customer demand, CoroWare announced its CoroCall Business Class HD Video Conferencing subscription service in 2009, and subsequently upgraded to support improved audio and video conferencing capabilities which are superior to many of our competitors today.

 

In 2012, we expanded the CoroCall Business Class HD Video Conferencing service with the addition of integrated call recording and webcast. In addition, we also enhanced the security of the offering by implementing 128 bit AES encryption. In 2012, we also became a reseller of VidyoCast, a broadcast service that incorporates Vidyo’s network tolerant video streaming into the broadcast arena.

 

Although this business is still in its early stages of growth, we have won and are pursuing significant customer opportunities with financial consulting organizations, product development/sales companies, religious organizations, and employment recruiters. This also expands the options available to customers of the video conferencing service, providing custom dial in phone numbers.

 

CoroCall Product Line

 

In 2010, we announced our first enhanced collaboration product, CoroWare NameTag, a Windows-based application that lets desktop video conferencing users customize their webcam experience. We have had significant corporate adoption of NameTag.

 

In early 2011, we expanded our range of products when the Company announced the early adopter release of CoroCall Communications, an Internet telephony, conferencing, and communications system. CoroCall Communications is a standalone appliance server with features that were previously available only to large enterprises at a much higher price, offering customers an integrated Internet telephony solution that includes phone communications, high definition (HD) audio and video conferencing, and advanced call management. 2102 and the beginning of 2013 have brought several enhancements and additions to our CoroCall service. Recording and streaming capabilities were added to the platform allowing users to record and or stream video conferences on the fly without administrative intervention or support. Additionally our service is now deployed in a secure manner utilizing HTTPS and AES encryption, insuring that our customers’ calls and data are secure from hackers and potential eavesdroppers of sensitive information. By providing these new capabilities and managing customized solutions with API management, we have developed customers in vertical markets to include Health care, Education and legal applications. Law firms are utilizing our platforms for remote depositions and more. Schools are conducting virtual field trips and extended care facilities are connecting patients with care providers via our CoroCall Videoconferencing platform.

 

We have expanded our distribution model by developing a network of Value Added Service Providers (VASP’s). By adding CoroCall cloud based subscription services to their existing telephony, data management and other telecom services, there resellers are developing new recurring revenue streams without having to build out infrastructure to do so.

Competition

Competitors in the IT consulting market comprise a combination of large and well established companies, such as Avanade and Tata Consultancy Services; and smaller, privately held consulting companies with practices in a single vertical arena such as custom software development, telecom billing, multimedia production and many other vertical industries.

We have maintained long-term relationships and have been successful in renewing contracts and in signing multi-month or yearlong contracts with key customers - including Microsoft and MetraTech, and are building similar client relationships with new customers.

 

4
 

Competitors in the mobile robotics and custom engineering marketplaces have comprised iRobot (IRBT), Adept / MobileRobots (ADEP), and privately held companies such as K-Team Mobile Robotics, RoboSoft, and Evolution Robotics.  New entrants in this marketplace include Aethon, neato robotics, Brock Technologies, and Contineo Robotics.

Competitors in the collaboration market include:

  • Legacy videoconferencing vendors such as Polycom, Tandberg/Cisco and Lifesize/Logitech
  • Legacy videoconferencing service providers, such as AT&T, that deploy and support legacy equipment from Polycom, Tandberg/Cisco and Lifesize/Logitech
  • New entrants in affordable and modest quality videoconferencing services, such as oovoo and Nefsis
  • New entrants into cloud based bridging and multipoint services such as Blue Jeans, Vidtel and others
  • Upgrades to existing Data conferencing platforms to include multi party video within the collaboration tool. i.e. Go to Meeting, Webex.

 

Customers

 

All three divisions saw growth in their customer bases in 2012 as compared with 2011. CBS added additional contracts with existing customers and added additional large enterprise accounts as well. R&A engaged with a number of additional universities and research facilities. ECS added customers to its hosted solutions and additional resellers, as well as securing product and accessory sales to a number of customers.

 

ARicon Joint Venture

CoroWare, Inc. (“Company”) entered into a joint venture agreement (“Joint Venture Agreement”) with Lucas Snyder (“Snyder”) as of September 24, 2012, whereby the parties have formed a North Carolina limited liability company, ARICON, LLC, to implement a joint venture that will develop and market mobile robot platforms, applications, and solutions for the construction industry.

Prices of Common Stock

 

Beginning in February 2002, CoroWare’s common stock was eligible for listing in the OTC Bulletin Board.  Our trading symbol was “SRMW” until such time as our acquisition of Hy-Tech Technology Group, Inc. on January 31, 2003 when our symbol became “HYTT”.  In November 2006, our name was changed to Innova Robotics & Automation, Inc. and the trading symbol was changed to INRA. In April 2008, we became CoroWare, Inc. and our trading symbol was changed to CROE.  In April 2009, in conjunction with a 1-for-300 reverse stock split, our trading symbol was changed to COWI. In January 2012, we revised the par value of our Common Stock from $0.001 to $0.0001. In July 2012, we effected a reverse split of 1-for-200.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB exchange under the symbol, “COWI”. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.

 

The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices as reported during the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  

COMMON STOCK  
 
Year Ended December 31, 2012   High     Low

These quotations represent interdealer prices, without retail markup, markdown, or commission, and may not reflect actual transactions.  As of April 11, 2013, there were approximately 253 record holders of the Company's common stock. This reflects a reverse 200 for 1 reverse split of the stock on July 6, 2012.

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

 

Cautionary and Forward Looking Statements

 

This section and other parts of this Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and CoroWare’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

 

There is no assurance that we will be profitable, we may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market our products and services, we may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology personnel, our products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder our business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in the our businesses.

 

We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by us in 2012 and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by us.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The consolidated financial statements and notes included in our quarterly and annual financial statements contain information that is pertinent to this management's discussion and analysis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, and affect the disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. We believe these accounting policies involve judgment due to the sensitivity of the methods, assumptions, and estimates necessary in determining the related asset and liability amounts. The significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

 

We derive our software system integration services revenue from short-duration, time and material contracts. Generally, such contracts provide for an hourly-rate and a stipulated maximum fee. Revenue is recorded only on executed arrangements as time is incurred on the project and as materials, which are insignificant to the total contract value, are expended. Revenue is not recognized in cases where customer acceptance of the work product is necessary, unless sufficient work has been performed to ascertain that the performance specifications are being met and the customer acknowledges that such performance specifications are being met. We periodically review contractual performance and estimate future performance requirements. Losses on contracts are recorded when estimable. No contractual losses were identified during the periods presented.

 

We recognize revenue for our software and software professional services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product sales are recognized by us generally at the time product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

 

We account for arrangements that contain multiple elements in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, we allocate revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, we allocate revenue first to the fair value of the underlying elements and allocate the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. We limit the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.

 

We recognize revenue from the sale of manufacturer’s maintenance and extended warranty contracts in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations net of its costs of purchasing the related contracts.

 

Our ECS revenue is comprised of both services and products.  ECS subscription service revenues are generated through the sale of CoroCallTM, a managed video conferencing service and CoroCall Communications, a managed telephone service.  Our contracts provide for usage pricing or when paid for pre-paid service.  We recognize this revenue in the period that the services or minutes are used and prepaid. Product revenues are realized partly through the sale of Vidyo’s product line, including room systems and back-end infrastructure, partly through the sale of CoroWare collaboration products, including CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo, a software package that provides usage statistics for Vidyo brand high-definition video conferencing systems, and partly through the sales of related accessories.  Revenues for these products are recognized upon delivery to the customer.

 

Share-based payment

 

Stock based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered.  The expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period.  We estimate forfeitures that we expect will occur and record expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.

 

There were no options issued during the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The caption Derivative Liability consists of (i) the fair values associated with derivative features embedded in various convertible note financings and (ii) the fair values of the detachable warrants that were issued in connection with those financing arrangements.

 

We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by FASB ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements.

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective of measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as embedded conversion options, we generally use the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to value these more complex instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION  

 

CoroWare is well positioned for managed growth in Fiscal Year 2013 through continued growth of our CoroWare Business Solutions and Robotics & Automation business units, and rapid growth of our Enterprise Collaboration Solutions business unit.

 

The CoroWare Business Solutions (CBS) business unit anticipates growing its revenues by delivering business intelligence, software development, IT consulting, lab management and release management professional services through its long term clients, including Microsoft.  As well, it anticipates growing its revenues through the sales of products and solutions – such as CoroWare Billing Integration Framework and CoroWare License Manager - that help cloud service providers recognize revenues by delivering conferencing and application services. Additional revenue growth is expected through the sales of enterprise and cloud cyber security solutions.

 

The Robotics & Automation (R&A) business unit expects to achieve its revenue objectives by offering affordable mobile robotics platforms, products and custom solutions to researchers in the university, commercial and homeland security market segments.  As well, the Robotics & Automation group is well positioned to pursue custom engineering opportunities with clients who are developing innovative software services, solutions and products that leverage our expertise in simulation, visualization, mobile robotics, and product realization.

  

 

11
 

 

The Enterprise Collaboration Solutions (ECS) business unit plans to rapidly grow its revenues by selling a combination of services and products.  Collaboration service revenues are generated through the sale of CoroCallTM, a managed business class HD video conferencing service that small, medium and large sized businesses - including consulting companies, non-profit groups, and distance learning companies – are considering as an alternative to purchasing and operating videoconferencing equipment and infrastructure.  Product revenues are being realized partly through the sale of Vidyo’s product line – including room systems and back-end infrastructure – partly through the sale of CoroWare collaboration products, partly through the sales of related accessories, and partly through the sales of VidyoCast products and services.

 

In order to achieve revenue and margin objectives in an increasingly global and competitive market, all of CoroWare’s business units offer their customers the option of using CoroWare’s near-shore resources, which comprise a team of highly capable IT architects, developers and testers with experience in software application development and integration, rich internet applications development, partner management portal development, IT infrastructure, and Quality Assurance.

 

We do not expect to sell any of CoroWare’s fixed assets, including property or equipment in the next twelve months, nor do we expect to purchase any real property in the next twelve months. During the next twelve months we expect to purchase certain equipment to support software development, testing and continued deployment of CoroWare technologies. Additionally, we expect to purchase office equipment, computer equipment and laboratory development and testing equipment to support our planned personnel increase.

 

We are internally developing an investor relations program that will help the company communicate more effectively and actively with CoroWare shareholders, and generate greater awareness of CoroWare and our services, solutions and products.

 

Recent Financing Transactions

 

(a) $17,500 Asher financing:

 

On August 9, 2012, the Company consummated an unsecured Securities Purchase Agreement with an unrelated third party for the sale by the Company of its 8% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $17,500, net of deferred financing costs of $2,500.

 

The debenture matures on May 13, 2013, nine months from the date of issuance. The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to 50% of the market price, which is defined as the average of the lowest 3 trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days prior to conversion.

 

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: effective term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); effective volatility (222.71% - 212.43%); and effective risk adjusted yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $15,452 at inception.  There was no derivative expense recognized at inception.

 

There were no conversions on this instrument during the year ending December 31, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011:

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Period") revenues were $1,309,251 compared to revenues of $1,799,352 during the year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Period").  Revenues in the 2012 period were lower compared to the 2011 period. In the third quarter of the 2012 Period, two of our enterprise customers reduced their contract staffing budgets, mobile robot sales were lower than expected, and HD videoconferencing sales were delayed until later in the year. Revenues in the fourth quarter of the 2012 Period as enterprise customers purchased HD videoconferencing equipment and university customers purchased mobile robotics products.

Cost of goods sold was $846,885 and $1,214,737 for the 2012 Period and the 2011 Period, respectively.  Cost of goods sold primarily represents labor and labor-related costs in addition to overhead costs.

Gross Profits decreased to $462,366 during the 2012 Period compared to $584,615 during the 2011 Period.  Gross profits decreased during the 2012 Period as a result of Gross revenues declining. The Gross profit percentage in the 2012 Period was 35.3% compared to 32.5% in the 2011 Period. The increased Gross profit percentage was the result of an improved utilization of its IT consulting resources; a reduction in the cost of goods sold for mobile robots; and complementing videoconferencing equipment sales with premium deployment and support services.

Operating expenses were $1,113,120 for the 2012 Period compared to $1,321,480 for the 2011 Period. General and administrative expenses amounted to $750,211 during the 2012 Period compared to $863,299 for the 2011 Period, and represented mostly labor and related compensation costs, legal & professional fees, outside services, travel expenses, rental expense and related office expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $291,961 for the 2012 Period compared to $314,195 for the 2011 Period. Depreciation and amortization costs were $12,000 for the 2012 Period compared to $21,765 for the 2011 Period.

 

14
 

Loss from operations was $650,754 for the 2012 Period compared to $736,865 for the 2011 Period. Loss from operations was lower in the 2012 Period due to a modest decrease in Cost of revenues, a modest decrease in Sales and marketing expenses, a decrease in research and development, and a decrease in General and Administrative expenses throughout the 2012 Period.

 

Other income (expense) was ($7,079,453) during the 2012 Period compared to ($1,291,730) in the 2011 Period. Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of derivative income (expense) and amortization of debt discount and deferred finance costs. The derivative expense for the 2012 Period was $(6,568,387) compared to expense of ($485,772) for the 2011 Period. The embedded conversion features associated with our convertible debentures are valued based on the number of shares that are indexed to that liability. Keeping the number of shares constant, the liability associated with the embedded conversion features increases as our share price increases and, likewise, decreases when our share price decreases. Derivative income (expense) displays the inverse relationship. The derivative expense in the 2012 Period is the result of the decrease in our stock price on the measurement dates at the beginning and end of the year ($0.04 at December 31, 2011 versus $0.0001 at December 31, 2012). A decrease in the stock price resulted in a decreased value of the embedded conversion feature (using the Monte Carlo calculation) which resulted in derivative income. Interest expense for the 2012 Period was $568,964 compared to $804,893 for the 2011Period.

 

Net loss for the 2012 Period was $7,730,208 compared to net loss of $2,028,596 for the 2011 Period. The increased Net loss was the result of the increased Derivative expense incurred during the 2012 Period.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Period") we used $369,390 net cash from operating activities versus a reduction of $71,268 for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Period").

 

Cash outflows from the Company's investing activities in the 2012 Period were $1,371, compared with $3,626 in the 2011 Period.

 

In the 2012 Period, the Company generated $370,934 in cash from financing activities.  This primarily reflects borrowings on convertible debentures.  The Company's financing activities generated $75,416 of cash during the 2011 Period.

 

At December 31, 2012, we had current assets of $213,194, current liabilities of $18,647,068, negative working capital of $18,433,874 and an accumulated deficit of $35,096,503.

 

We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. We will still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, 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.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

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

ITEM 9A-(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

 

As of December 31, 2012, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

Such disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the Company's last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

16
 

Limitations on Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

 

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.  In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework   Based on its assessment our management believes that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

 

Auditor’s Attestation

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

Our directors will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders. Our executive officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We expect our Board, in the future, to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee—none of which now exist--and to adopt a charter relative to each such committee. We intend to appoint such persons to committees of the Board as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, although we are not required to comply with such requirement until we elect to seek listing on a national securities exchange

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16 (a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We believe that all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable reporting requirements, except for the late filings of Form 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities), and 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) filings of John Kroon, Lloyd Spencer, Shanna Gerrard, and Martin Nielson.

 

CODE OF ETHICS DISCLOSURE COMPLIANCE

 

CoroWare has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and other employees performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics was revised and updated in 2007 and approved by the board on December 6, 2007. The Code of Ethics is in the investor section of our website at www.coroware.com.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 2, 2013 by each person or entity known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, each of our directors and named executive officers, and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Generally, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if he has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days.

 

Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 2,202,838,008 shares of common stock outstanding and 100,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of April 11, 2013. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by that person within 60 days from April 11, 2013 upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities, or other rights. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by that person by the base number of outstanding shares, increased to reflect the shares underlying options, warrants, convertible securities, or other rights included in that person's holdings, but not those underlying shares held by any other person.

No director, executive officer or nominee for election as a director of our company, and no owner of five percent or more of our outstanding shares or any member of their immediate family has entered into or proposed any transaction in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 except as set forth below.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation policy:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), Innova Robotics, Inc. (“IR”), Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc. (“RWT”), and Robotics Software Services, Inc. (“RSS”) (Herein are referred to as the “Subsidiaries”). The Company also consolidates its 51% interest in Aricon, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Nature of the Company:

 

CoroWare, Inc ("CoroWare" or "the Company") is a public holding company whose principal subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. ("CTI"), has expertise in information technology consulting, mobile robotics, and affordable collaboration.  Through its subsidiary, the Company delivers custom engineering services, hardware and software products, and subscription services that benefit customers in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East.  Their customers span multiple industry sectors and comprise universities, software and hardware product development companies, and non-profit organizations.  The company also maintains a Near Shore practice which is comprised of multiple subcontracting companies with whom the company maintains close working relationships.  Through these relationships, the Company is able to provide services in South America.

 

COROWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CTI is a software professional services company with a strong focus on Information Technology integration and robotics integration, business automation solutions, and unmanned systems solutions to its customers in North America and Europe.

 

CTI’s expertise includes the deployment and integration of computing platforms and applications, as well as the development of unmanned vehicle software and solutions for customers in the research, commercial, and homeland security market segments.  CTI shall continue to offer its high value software systems development and integration services that complement the growing trend in outsourced software development services in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

 

CoroWare Technologies comprises three separately managed lines of business:

·CoroWare Business Solutions :  IT and lab management; business intelligence, software architecture, design and development; content delivery; partner and program management.
·Robotics and Automation :   Custom engineering such as visualization, simulation and software development; and mobile robot platforms for university, government and corporate researchers.
·Enhanced Collaboration Solution :  Collaboration and conferencing products, solutions and subscription services.

 

The Company’s revenues are principally derived from standing contracts that include Microsoft (partner management and IT professional services), a European auto manufacturer (simulation software custom development), and other customers whose product development groups require custom software development and consulting companies. Existing contract revenues vary month by month based on the demands of the clients. The Company’s collaboration effort is in the early stages of growth and will require additional working capital to compete effectively against new entrants in this rapidly growing market.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Summary of significant accounting policies:

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid financial instruments with original purchased maturities of three months or less.

 

Accounts receivable:

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers with normal and traditional trade terms. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by the thirtieth day following the sale.  The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer.  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our continuing evaluation of its customers’ credit risk and its overall collection history. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no allowance was deemed necessary.

 

Property and equipment:

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renovations, renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which are generally five to ten years.

 

Intangible assets:

 

The Company’s intangible assets, which are recorded at cost, consist primarily of the unamortized cost basis of employment contracts and customer lists.  These assets were amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years and are fully amortized as of December 31, 2012.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of FASB ASC 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Subsequent Measurement. FASB ASC 360-35 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

Deferred finance costs:

 

Deferred finance costs are associated with the convertible debenture financings (see Note 9) and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the underlying debt instrument.  Upon conversion, the deferred finance cost associated with the converted amount is amortized.

  

F-9
 

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Income taxes:

 

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Additionally, taxes are calculated and expensed in accordance with applicable tax code.

 

Financial instruments:

 

Financial instruments, as defined in FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, derivative financial instruments, and debt.

 

The Company carries cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses at historical costs; their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values due to their current nature.  The Company also carries notes payable and convertible debt.  The fair values of these notes payable and convertible debt instruments approximate carrying values based on the comparable market interest rates applicable to similar instruments.

 

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The caption Derivative Liability consists of (i) the fair values associated with derivative features embedded in the convertible debt financings and (ii) the fair values of the detachable warrants that were issued in connection with those financing arrangements.

 

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by FASB ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in its financial statements.

 

Share-based payments :

 

Stock based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered.  The expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period.  The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest. There were no options granted during the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2011.

 

F-10
 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue recognition:

 

The Company derives its software system integration services revenue from short-duration, time and material contracts. Generally, such contracts provide for an hourly-rate and a stipulated maximum fee. Revenue is recorded only on executed arrangements as time is incurred on the project and as materials, which are insignificant to the total contract value, are expended. Revenue is not recognized in cases where customer acceptance of the work product is necessary, unless sufficient work has been performed to ascertain that the performance specifications are being met and the customer acknowledges that such performance specifications are being met. We periodically review contractual performance and estimate future performance requirements. Losses on contracts are recorded when estimable. No contractual losses were identified during the periods presented.

 

The Company recognizes revenue for its software and software professional services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product sales are recognized by us generally at the time product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

 

The Company accounts for arrangements that contain multiple elements in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, we allocate revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, we allocate revenue first to the fair value of the underlying elements and allocate the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled.

  

The Company limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return of refund privileges. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of manufacturer’s maintenance and extended warranty contracts in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations, net of its costs of purchasing the related contracts.

 

The Company’s collaboration revenue is comprised of both services and products.  Collaboration service revenues are generated through the sale of CoroCall TM , a managed collaboration service.  Our contracts provide for usage pricing or when paid for pre-paid service.  The Company recognizes this revenue in the period that the services or minutes are used and prepaid.    Product revenues are realized partly through the sale of Vidyo’s product line, including room systems and back-end infrastructure, and partly through the sale of CoroWare collaboration products, including CoroWare Usage Reporter for Vidyo, a software package that provides usage statistics for Vidyo brand high-definition video conferencing systems, and partly through sales of accessories.  Revenues for these products are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer.

 

Research and development:

 

Research and development costs relate to the development of new products, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $58,948 and $122,221 respectively.

 

F-11
 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Advertising expense:

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $664 and $7,400, respectively.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk:

 

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts with high quality, credit-worthy financial institutions.

 

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s revenues and receivables were comprised of the following customer concentrations:

   2012  2011
   % of Revenues  % of Receivables  % of Revenues  % of Receivables
 Customer 1    59%   24%   23%   24%
 Customer 2    -%    -%    51%   24%
 Customer 3    -%    -%    -%       -% 

 

Basic and diluted loss per share:

 

The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per common share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

 

Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the years ended December 2012 and 2011, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Dividend Policy

 

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company anticipates that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company has issued and has outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are entitled, prior to the declaration of any dividends on common stock, to earn a 5% dividend, payable in either cash or common stock of the Company.  The Board of Directors has sole discretion to declare dividends based on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were cumulative undeclared dividends to Preferred Series B shareholders of $47,900 and $39,917, respectively, the obligation for which is contingent on declaration by the board of directors.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were accrued unpaid dividends of $15,969, respectively.  This balance is part of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Management does not expect the impact of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Among the more significant estimates included in the Company’s financial statements are the following:

·estimating future bad debts on accounts receivable that are carried at net realizable values;
·estimating the fair value of its financial instruments that are required to be carried at fair value; and
·estimating the recoverability of its long-lived assets.

 

The Company uses all available information and appropriate techniques to develop its estimates. However, actual results could differ from its estimates.

 

NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL CONDITION AND GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $7,760,728 and $2,028,596, respectively. Because of these losses and the Company's working capital deficit, the Company will require additional working capital to develop its business operations.

 

The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the use of private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.

 

 

F-13
 

NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL CONDITION AND GOING CONCERN (Continued)

 

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company's working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations, any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The 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 be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING

 

On March 21, 2010, the Company established a $200,000 factoring line with an asset-based lender, CapeFirst Funding, LLC  (“Capefirst”) that is secured by accounts receivable that the Lender may accept and purchase from the Company.  The agreement calls for Capefirst to advance up to 80% of the net face amount of each assigned account or up to 50% of eligible assigned purchase orders.  The agreement calls for a maximum facility amount of $200,000 with a purchase fee of 2% of the net face amount of each assigned account and a collection fee of 0.1% compounded daily.  In the event of a dispute or in the event of fraud, misrepresentation, willful misconduct or negligence on the part of the Company, Capefirst may require the Company to immediately repurchase the assigned accounts at a purchase price that includes the amount of the assigned account plus the discount fee, interest and collection fee and may include a processing fee of 10%.  The combined balance due to factors as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $177,455 and $107,730.  Factor expense charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to, $38,157 and $44,155, respectively.

 

We have adopted the FASB’s amended authoritative guidance which was issued in June 2009 and which became effective January 1, 2010 as it relates to distinguishing between transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  Under this new guidance as adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2010, the reporting of the sale of accounts receivable is treated as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale.  As a result, affected accounts receivable are reported under Current Assets within the Company’s balance sheet as “Trade receivables” subject to reserves for doubtful accounts, returns and other allowances.  Similarly, the net liability owing to Capefirst appears as “Obligations collateralized by receivables” within the Current Liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet.  Net proceeds received from the sale of accounts receivable appear as cash provided or used by financing activities within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Early adoption of this amended guidance was not permitted.  Under the authoritative guidance in effect prior to the amended guidance noted above, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.

 

NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

   2012  2011
Computer equipment  $85,381   $82,260

   $15,454   $24,333 
           

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $12,000 and $10,684, respectively.

(a)  Notes payable - Merger:

 

In February 2003, the Company issued $230,000 of notes payable which matured in June 2003. The notes earn interest at 8% per annum unless they are in default, in which case they earn default interest at a rate of 15%; the notes are currently in default. Additionally, the notes had warrants attached to purchase 11,500 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share and were exercisable through February 12, 2005.  None of these warrants were exercised prior to their expiration.  This instrument is in default.  During the 4 th quarter of 2010, one of these notes with an outstanding balance of $75,000 was sold to a third party by the original investor.  The terms of the note were changed such that the note became a convertible debenture.  See the $75,000 Collins financing in Note 9(d).  During 2011, two additional merger notes aggregating $55,000 were sold to third parties by the original investors and simultaneously converted to convertible debentures.  See the $25,000 Tangiers financing in Note 9(k) and the $65,000 Panache financing in Note 9(n).

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE (continued)

(b) Notes payable - Shareholders:

 

During September through December 2005, the Company entered into short-term debt obligations totaling $257,000. These notes bore interest at rates ranging from 5 to 10% per annum and were due between ninety and one hundred twenty days. All of the lenders were shareholders of the Company. During the 4 th quarter of 2010, the remaining $40,000 of these notes was sold to a third party by the original investor.  That third party subsequently converted those notes along with the accrued interest of $7,509 into 15,560,455 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Additionally, during 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into various unsecured notes with shareholders aggregating $5,000 and $45,000, respectively.  The notes bear interest at 18% and matured at various dates through June 2011.  Repayments of $14,699 and $106,218 ($60,000 in stock) were made during 2011 and 2010, respectively.  During 2011, $74,200 of these notes were sold to third parties and simultaneously re-stated as convertible debentures.  See Note 9(e) and 9(j).

 

(c)  Notes payable – Yorkville:

 

During August 2008, the Company entered into 2 short-term notes with Yorkville that bear interest at 18% and matured in December 2008. This transaction was recorded as an inducement expense of $3,750 during the year ended December 31, 2008. These instruments are in default.

 

(d) Other notes payable

 

Other notes payable consist of two notes to third parties.  The note bear interest at rates ranging from 0.8% to 21% and matured through December 31, 2011.  Both of these notes are in default. 

 

NOTE 7 – LINES OF CREDIT

 

The Company has numerous unsecured lines of credit with various financial institutions bearing annual interest at rates ranging from 4.75% to 36.00%.   At December 31, 2012 and 2011 the company had aggregate outstanding balances on these lines of $121,369 and $125,456, respectively.  These lines of credit have no collateral and are payable monthly.

 

NOTE 8 - LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On April 17, 2002, the Company borrowed $989,100 under a note agreement with the Small Business Administration. The note bears interest at 4% and is secured by the equipment and machinery assets of the Company. The balance outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $980,450 and $980,450, respectively. The note calls for monthly installments of principal and interest of $4,813 beginning September 17, 2002 and continuing until April 17, 2032. The Company and the Small Business Administration reached an agreement in November 2010 whereby the Small Business Administration would accept $500 per month for 12 months with payment reverting back to $4,813 in November 2011.  The Company only made four  payments under the modification agreement.  The Company continues to carry the loan as a current term liability because current payments are not being made, resulting in a default.  Contractual maturities of long term debt are as follows:

 

For the year ending December 31,  Small business administration loan  Convertible debt (1)  Combined
 2012   $980,450   $2,206,247   $3,186,697

(a)  $2,825,000 Convertible debenture financing:

 

The Company is party to a convertible debenture with Yorkville which provided for the sale of its 14% secured convertible debentures in the original aggregate principal amount of $2,825,000, net of deferred financing costs of $263,143.  The note was originally executed in three tranches as follows:  Tranche 1 for $1,250,000 on July 21, 2006, Tranche 2 for $575,000 on August 21, 2006 and Tranche 3 for $1,000,000 on December 7, 2006.

 

The Debenture matures on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (see Note 8 for debt maturity schedule). The holder of the Debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at the lesser of $6.00 or 85% of the 30-day VWAP.  The Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. 

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to Yorkville five-year warrants to purchase 3,333 and 5,000 shares of Common Stock at prices equal to $150 and $300, respectively, together with three-year warrants to purchase 7,667, 6,667 and 8,333 shares of Common Stock at prices equal to $75, $195 and $225, respectively.  All of these warrants have expired unexercised.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)

The Company has the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date at a 10% redemption premium plus accrued interest provided that the closing bid price of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).  In addition, beginning on the earlier of: (i) the first trading day following the day which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, or (ii) December 1, 2006, and continuing on the first trading day of each calendar month thereafter, Yorkville may require the Company to redeem up to $500,000 of the remaining principal amount of the Debentures per calendar month.  However, Yorkville may not require the Company to redeem the Debentures if the closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds the Conversion Price for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, and the Registration Statement has been declared effective and remains effective on the redemption date. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to settle any requested redemptions by either paying cash and a 10% redemption premium plus accrued interest or issuing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the cash amount owed divided by a stock price equal to 95% of the 30 day VWAP (lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the redemption). The following redemptions have occurred in conjunction with this debenture financing:

 

Date of Redemption  Principal Redeemed  Number of shares issued
 2006   $25,000    629 
 2007   $930,000    59,946 
 2008   $280,051    925,794 
 2009   $30,000    573,220 
 2010   $137,300    20,360,857 
 2011   $50,170    55,536,746 

 

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (pre-codification FAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”), based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: Effective Term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); Effective Volatility (89.08% - 123.72%); and Effective Risk Adjusted Yield (15.97% - 33.59%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $1,798,350 at inception.  The Company also determined that the warrants did not meet the conditions for equity classification because share settlement and maintenance of an effective registration statement are not within its control.  The fair value allocated to the warrants instruments was $637,700 at inception. The remaining $388,950 was allocated to the carrying value of the debenture.

 

On December 31, 2010, Yorkville assigned 46.3% of Tranche 1 (aggregating $341,123 principal and $227,140 interest) to an unrelated third party (“Ratzker”).  See discussion below in Note 9(h).  On January 12, 2011, Yorkville assigned 100% of Tranche 2 (aggregating $567,200 in principal and $317,510 in interest) to an unrelated third party (“Westmount”).  See discussion below in Note 9(p).

 

The remaining portions of Tranche 1 ($395,628 principal) and Tranche 3 ($82,630 principal) remain with Yorkville and are currently in default.  Management is working with Yorkville to develop a plan for repayment of this debt.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)

(b) $600,000 Convertible debenture financing:

 

The Company is party to a convertible debenture with Yorkville which provided for the sale of its 14% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000, net of deferred financing costs of $75,000.

The holder of the Debentures may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at the lesser of $6.00 or 85% of the 30-day VWAP.  The Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. 

   

The Company had the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date at a 12% redemption premium plus accrued interest provided that the closing bid price of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).  In addition, beginning on the issuance date, Yorkville may require the Company to convert any amounts owed.  However, Yorkville may not require the Company to redeem the Debentures if the closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds the Conversion Price for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, and the Registration Statement has been declared effective and remains effective on the redemption date. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to settle any requested conversions by either paying cash and a 12% redemption premium plus accrued interest or issuing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the cash amount owed divided by a stock price equal to 85% of the 30 day VWAP.

 

In the Company’s original evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: Effective Term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); Effective Volatility (89.08% - 123.72%); and Effective Risk Adjusted Yield (15.97% - 33.59%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $706,800 at inception. 

 

This convertible debenture matured in 2009 and is currently in default.  Management is working with Yorkville to develop a plan for repayment of this debt.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

 

(c) $300,000 Convertible debenture financing:

 

On March 19, 2008, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 19, 2008 with Y.A. Global Investments (“Yorkville”) for the sale by the Company to Yorkville of its 14% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000, net of deferred financing costs of $60,000 which was advanced immediately in March 2008.

 

The holder of the Debentures may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the Debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price per share equal to $6.00.  The Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc.   Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to Yorkville five-year warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $6.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)

The Company has the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date at a 14% redemption premium plus accrued interest provided that the closing bid price of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).  In addition, beginning on the issuance date, Yorkville may require the Company to convert any amounts owed.  However, Yorkville may not require the Company to redeem the Debentures if the closing bid price of the Common Stock exceeds the Conversion Price for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the redemption date, and the Registration Statement has been declared effective and remains effective on the redemption date. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to settle any requested conversions by either paying cash and a 14% redemption premium plus accrued interest or issuing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the cash amount owed divided by a stock price equal to 85% of the 30 day VWAP.

 

In the Company’s original evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior.

 

Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: Effective Term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); Effective Volatility (89.08% - 123.72%); and Effective Risk Adjusted Yield (15.97% - 33.59%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $150,000 at inception.  The Company also determined that the warrants did not meet the conditions for equity classification because share settlement and maintenance of an effective registration statement are not within its control.  The fair value allocated to the warrants instruments was $50,000 at inception. The remaining $100,000 was allocated to the carrying value of the debenture.

 

This convertible debenture matured in 2010 and is currently in default.  Management is working with Yorkville to develop a plan for repayment of this debt.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

 

(d) $75,000 Collins financing:

 

On December 9, 2010, the Company amended a note payable that has been outstanding from February 11, 2003.  The amended terms of the note call for a variable conversion price of 70% of the market price.  The market price is defined as the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to the date the conversion notice is sent by the holder.  The Debenture matured on June 27, 2003 and remains in default.

 

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were:

 

Effective Term (using the estimated remaining term of the host instrument); Effective Volatility (141.39%); and Effective Risk Adjusted Yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $61,039 at inception.  The remaining $13,961 was allocated to the carrying value of the debenture.  As of December 31, 2010, this note carried a discount of $53,341 which is being amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated life of 10 months.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)

During December 2010, the original holder of the note sold it to a third party investor (“Collins”) with all of the terms remaining the same.  Collins subsequently made the following conversions:

 

Date of Redemption  Principal Redeemed  Number of shares issued
 2010   $9,300    3,100,000 
 2011   $20,290    21,500,000 

 

(e)   $27,500 Asher financing:

 

On February 1, 2011, the Company consummated an unsecured Securities Purchase Agreement with an unrelated third party for the sale by the Company of its 8% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $27,500, net of deferred financing costs of $2,500.

 

The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to 51% of the market price, which is defined as the lowest 3 trading prices for the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days prior to conversion.

 

In the Company’s original evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the   Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: effective term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); effective volatility (145.01% - 130.17%); and effective risk adjusted yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $36,729 at inception.  Derivative expense of $9,229 was recognized at inception.

 

This convertible debenture matured in November 2011 and is currently in default.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

 

On August 2, 2012, Cariou sold $20,000 of his convertible note to Asher.   In connection with the sale, the Company restated the interest rate on the note from 15% to 10% and changed the conversion rate from the 5 day average closing price using the 5 trading days prior to conversion to 40% of the Market Price (defined as the average of the (1) lowest trading price for common stock during the 30 day trading period ending one trading day prior to the date of conversion).  Additionally, the beneficial ownership limit was increased from 4.99% to 9.99%

During year ending December 31, 2012, Asher converted $3,600 of the convertible debenture into 8,780,488 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company recognized a loss on redemption of $4,141.

(f)   $10,750 Barclay financing:

 

On January 28, 2011, the Company consummated an unsecured convertible promissory note with an unrelated third party for $10,750, net of deferred financing costs of $2,500.

 

The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to 50% of the fair market value, but not to exceed $0.05/share or be less than $0.0001/share.  Fair market value is defined as the lower of i) the closing bid price for the date immediately preceding the date of conversion (excluding trades that are not arms-length) or ii) the average of last 5 trading days volume weighted average price.  The Company's obligations under the convertible promissory note are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. 

 

In the Company’s original evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: effective term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); effective volatility (155.39% - 117.57%); and effective risk adjusted yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $12,369 at inception.  Derivative expense of $1,619 was recognized at inception.

 

This convertible debenture matured July 28, 2011 and is currently in default.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

 

As of December 31, 2012, there have been no conversions on this convertible debenture.

 

(g) $9,750 Mackie financing:

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)

 

 

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior.

This convertible debenture matured February 18, 2011 and is currently in default.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

 

 (h) $ 170,562 Ratzker financing:

 

Yorkville Advisors transferred a 46.3% portion of Tranche 1 of the $2,825,000 debenture to a third party (“Ratzker”) effective December 31, 2010.  The assignment aggregated $568,263, representing $341,123 of unpaid principal and $227,140 of accrued interest.  At that time, there was no accounting impact for CoroWare as it was merely an assignment between debt holders.  On March 18, 2011, Ratzker modified the terms of the debenture such that the interest rate was lowered from 14% to 5% and the maturity date was extended until March 18, 2013.  Simultaneously, the conversion rate on the debenture was modified from 85% of the 30 day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) to 65% of the 30 day VWAP.

 

The modification was analyzed in accordance with current accounting standards and was determined not to be a troubled debt restricting or an extinguishment of debt.  As such, it was accounted for as a modification and no gain or loss was recognized on the transaction.  A debt discount of $236,779 was recognized for the difference in the fair value of the embedded conversion feature before and after the modification date.  A new effective rate was calculated for the new debenture and the related debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest rate over the new 2 year term of the underlying loan.  Amortization for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $32,864. On March 21, 2011, Ratzker transferred 50% of his ownership interest in this debenture to another unrelated party (“Redwood”).  The terms of the debenture did not change with that transfer.  As such, this transfer was also considered an assignment between debt holders and did not have an accounting impact on the Company.  See discussion below in Note 9(q) for Redwood financing.

 

With the extension of the maturity date, this debenture is no longer in default and has been reclassified to long-term liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.

 

As of December 31, 2012, $3,900 of principal was converted into 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The company recognized a loss of $2,531.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)

 

(i) $67,042 Harvey financing:

 

On April 2, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note with a vendor.  The vendor converted $67,042 of outstanding payables into this convertible note. The note calls for interest at 10% through the maturity date of May 2, 2011 and default interest at 15% thereafter.

 

The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to the average closing bid price for the 5 trading days prior to, but not including, the conversion date.   The number of shares of common stock to be issued upon each conversion shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal to be converted by the conversion price then multiplying by 115%.

 

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: effective term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); effective volatility (132.38%); and effective risk adjusted yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $30,011 at inception. 

 

This convertible debenture matured May 2, 2011 and is currently in default.  In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

 

As of December 31, 2012, there have been no conversions on this convertible debenture.

 

(j) $89,383 Cariou financing:

 

On April 4, 2011, the Company entered into unsecured convertible promissory note with an employee.  The employee converted $56,700 of outstanding principal on related party notes payable and $32,683 of accrued interest into this convertible note.  The note calls for interest at 10% through the maturity date of May 4, 2011 and default interest at 15% thereafter.

 

The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to the average closing bid price for the 5 trading days prior to, but not including, the conversion date.   The number of shares of common stock to be issued upon each conversion shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal to be converted by the conversion price then multiplying by 115%.

 

In the Company’s original evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued)

 

(l,m) $25,000 Tangiers financing:

 

In May and June 2011, an unrelated third party (“Tangiers”) purchased a $25,000 note payable from one of CoroWare’s note holders.  The transaction was completed in 2 Tranches of $10,000 and $15,000.  The terms of the note were changed such that the conversion rate was changed from a fixed $1 per share to a variable rate of 65% of the lowest trading price during the 7 days prior to conversion.  The interest rate was changed from 8% to 10% and the maturity date was extended from June 2003 to March 19, 2012, thus taking the note out of default.

 

The modification was analyzed in accordance with current accounting standards and was determined not to be a troubled debt restricting but rather an extinguishment of debt as there was a substantial difference in terms on the new debt.  As the old debt was being carried at face value, there was no gain or loss recognized on the extinguishment.

 

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: effective term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); effective volatility (132.38%); and effective risk adjusted yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $11,662 and $10,800, respectively, at inception for the $10,000 tranche and the $15,000 tranche. 

 

During 2012, the entire $25,000 was converted into 96,153,846 shares of CoroWare common stock.  CoroWare recognized a loss of $16,923 and $13,846, respectively, on the conversion of the $10,000 tranche and the $15,000 tranche.

 

(n) $65,000 Panache financing:

 

On June 2, 2011, an unrelated third party (“Panache”) purchased an aggregate $65,000 (representing $30,000 of outstanding principal and $35,000 accrued interest) from one of CoroWare’s note holders.  The terms of the note were changed such that the conversion rate was changed from a fixed $1 per share to a variable rate of an agreed to discount to market not to fall below a 50% discount to the average of the 3 lowest trading prices during the 20 days prior to conversion.  The interest rate was changed from 8% to 15% and the maturity date was extended from June 2003 to June 1, 2012, thus taking the note out of default.

 

The modification was analyzed in accordance with current accounting standards and was determined not to be a troubled debt restricting but rather an extinguishment of debt as there was a substantial difference in terms on the new debt.  As the old debt was being carried at face value, there was no gain or loss recognized on the extinguishment.

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (Continued) In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: effective term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); effective volatility (132.38%); and effective risk adjusted yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $100,880 at inception.  Derivative expense of $35,880 was recognized at inception.

 

During 2012, Panache converted $8,980 of principal into 3,675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The company recognized a gain of $7,536 on the transaction.

 

(o) $15,000 Panache financing:

 

On April 2, 2011, the Company entered into a $15,000 Convertible Note Agreement with an unrelated third party (“Panache”).  The note calls for interest at 8% through the maturity date of June 29, 2012.  The note can be renewed for an additional 10 years under 6 month extensions at $100 per extension.

 

The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to an agreed to discount to market not to fall below a 15% discount to the average of the 3 lowest trading prices during the 20 days prior to conversion.

 

In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior. Significant assumptions underlying this methodology were: effective term (using the remaining term of the host instrument); effective volatility (132.38%); and effective risk adjusted yield (12.5%).  As a result of these estimates, the valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of $13,500 at inception.

The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to the lower of $0.02 per share or 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price in the 30 days prior to the conversion date.  The Company's obligations under the purchase agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary, CoroWare Technologies, Inc. 

 

In order to estimate a value for the embedded conversion feature for financial statement presentation at December 31, 2011, management needed to make certain assumptions about the estimated maturity date of this debt.  It was estimated that this debt would not be called prior to November 1, 2012.

The holder of the debenture may, at any time, convert amounts outstanding under the debenture into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal the average closing bid prices for the Company’s common stock for  the 5 trading days prior to but not including the date of conversion. In the Company’s evaluation of this instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, based on the variable conversion price and lack of authorized shares, it was determined that the conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument and did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.  As such, the conversion and other features were compounded into one instrument, bifurcated from the debt instrument and carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.  The Company estimated the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instruments using the Monte Carlo valuation model because this methodology provides for all of the necessary assumptions necessary for fair value determination; including assumptions for credit risk, interest risk and conversion/redemption behavior.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry forwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statements of operations because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

 

The current year provision for refundable Federal income tax consists of the following at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

   2012  2011
Refundable income tax attributable to:          
  Current operations  $384,000   $723,000 
  Less, change in valuation allowance   (384,000)   (723,000)
  Net refundable amount  $—     $—   

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax amount is as follows at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

   2012  2011
Deferred tax asset attributable to:          
  Net operating loss carryover  $9,754,000   $9,370,000 
  Less, valuation allowance   (9,754,000)   (9,370,000)
  Net deferred tax asset  $—     $—   

At December 31, 2012, the Company had an unused net operating loss carryover approximating $ 26,500,000 that, subject to certain utilization limitations, is available to offset future taxable income, if any. The net operating losses expire from 2024 through 2031.

NOTE 12 - OTHER STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

a) Preferred stock Series A:

 

The Company has authorized 125,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.   Each share of Series A Preferred Stock i) pays a dividend of 5%, payable at the discretion of the Company in cash or common stock (ii) is convertible immediately after issuance into the Company's common stock at the lesser of $.005 per share or 75% of the average closing bid prices over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (iii) has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share, (iv) may be redeemed by the Company at any time up to five years after the issuance date for $1.30 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (v)  has no voting rights except when mandated by Delaware law.

NOTE 12 - OTHER STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)

 

There were no conversions of Series B stock during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Based upon the Company’s evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company concluded that their features are more akin to a debt instrument than an equity instrument, which means that the Company’s accounting conclusions are generally based upon standards related to a traditional debt security. The Company’s evaluation concluded that the embedded conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to certain variability in the conversion price, and it further did not meet the conditions for equity classification. Therefore, the Company is required to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a liability.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of the compound derivative using a common stock equivalent and the current share price of the Company’s common stock.  As a result of this estimate, the Company’s valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance associated with the Series B preferred stock of $397,390 and $106,443 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  This amount is included in mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet.  Fair value adjustments of $397,390 and $106,443 were charged to derivative income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

c) Preferred stock Series C:

 

The Company has authorized 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  During 2007 the Company initiated a private offering under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Private Offering”), of an aggregate 500,000 units (collectively referred to as the “Units”) at a price of $1,00 (one dollar) per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at the lesser of eighty five Percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion or $0.04 and stock purchase warrants equal to the number of shares of common stock converted from the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, exercisable at $0.06 per share and which expire five (5) years from the conversion date.

 

d)  Preferred stock Series D:

 

On November 10, 2011 the Board approved by unanimous written consent an amendment to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation to designate the rights and preferences of Series D Preferred Stock.  There are 500,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock authorized with a par value of $0.001.  Each share of Series D Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $1.00.  These preferred shares rank higher than all other securities.  Each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price which is defined as eighty five percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, (ii) but no less than Par Value of the Common Stock.  Mandatory conversion can be demanded by the Company prior to October 1, 2013.  Each one share of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to 100,000 votes of Common Stock. 

 

There were no conversions of Series D stock during the years ended December 31, 2012.

 

Based upon the Company’s evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company concluded that their features are more akin to a debt instrument than an equity instrument, which means that the Company’s accounting conclusions are generally based upon standards related to a traditional debt security. The Company’s evaluation concluded that the embedded conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to certain variability in the conversion price, and it further did not meet the conditions for equity classification. Therefore, the Company is required to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a liability.
