PART I
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
History of the Business
On November 10, 2005, Cardiff International, Inc. (“Cardiff”), a Colorado corporation, acquired Legacy Card Company, Inc. (“Legacy”), a privately held Nevada corporation in a triangular merger transaction (the “Merger”). The effective date of the Merger was November 10, 2005. As a result of the Merger, Legacy is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardiff.
Legacy was formed as a California limited liability company in August 2001. In April 2005, Legacy was converted into a Nevada corporation.
The Plan of Merger provided for the issuance by Cardiff to the stockholders of Legacy of an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of Cardiff common stock, no par value per share in connection with the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the former stockholders of Legacy are now the controlling stockholders of Cardiff. As part of the Merger, the officers and directors of Cardiff, resigned from their positions as officers and directors of Cardiff and the officers and directors of Legacy were appointed as officers and directors of Cardiff at the effective time of the Merger.
As a result of the Merger described above, on November 1, 2005 Legacy Card Company became a subsidiary of Cardiff International, Inc. . Cardiff International, Inc. through Legacy Card Company developed a rewards program, which is targeted to families focused on saving money for educational needs known as Mission Tuition.
On February 7, 2006, Cardiff changed its fiscal year end to December 31st from September 30th.
In March of 2013, due to the downward turn in the economy, the Company began a strategy to diversify CDIF’s portfolio of companies.
In April of 2013 the Majority shareholders of CDIF voted to award Daniel Thompson 63% of the Common Shares and 1 Series A Preferred share. This gave Daniel Thompson the majority voting control of the Company.
In December of 2013 Daniel Thompson was issued 63% of the Common Shares, 720,000 Series B Preferred Shares, $0.001 par value and 1 Series A Preferred Share, $0.00001 par value. In addition, over 3 Million dollars in debt was removed by Novation Agreements issuing Series B and C Preferred Shares.

These Companies offer experienced management; dividends and financial security.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this document before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.
The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating result. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.
We have generated minimal revenue and have never been profitable. We have a negative stockholders’ equity. As a result, we may never become profitable, and we could go out of business.
Through inception until December 2013, CDIF has built missiontuition.com. One of the largest merchant shopping networks online with innovative software, affiliating with major retailers and working with one of the nations’ leading major banks. There can be no guarantee that Mission Tuition will ever be profitable. From our inception on August 29, 2001 through December 31, 2013, we generated $1,869 in total revenue. We had stockholders’ deficit of $1,808,959 as of December 31, 2013.
Future sales will no longer depend on missiontuition.com, future revenues will come from our new acquisitions. We cannot guarantee we will ever develop a substantial revenue from our subsidiary companies and as required, we must state there is no assurance that we will become a profitable company. We may never become profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.
2 |
Because we had incurred operating losses from our inception, our accountants have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our continued net losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
• | our ability to acquire profitable businesses within CDIF; and | ||
• | our ability to generate substantial revenues; and | ||
• | our ability to obtain additional financing | ||
Based upon current plans, we may incur operating losses in future periods because we may, from time to time, be incurring expenses but not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $800,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or obtaining other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business.
Since we are a development stage company, that has generated minimal revenue, an investment in the shares offered herein is highly risky and could result in a complete loss of your investment if we are unsuccessful in our business plans.
We were incorporated in August 2001 and have focused all of our efforts on the development of our product and we have generated minimal amounts revenue. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur little to no operating losses in future periods. Further, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you hold, and could result in the loss of your entire investment.
We cannot predict when or if we will produce revenues which could result in a total loss of your investment if we are unsuccessful in our business plans.
We have generated limited revenues from operations since inception. In order for us to continue with our plans and open the business, we must generate revenue or find another source of capital. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain our business. As a result, one could lose all of one’s investment if we are not successful in our proposed business plans.
Commencement and development of operations will depend on the acquisitions acquired. If CDIF acquires the wrong businesses it could lead to a loss of revenue which could result in a failure of businesses and a loss of any investment one makes in the shares.
The acquisition of these new companies is critically important to our success. We cannot be certain that the company’s acquired will remain profitable and could possibly loose revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that the acquisitions acquired will continue as profitable businesses and could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.
If the businesses acquisitions fail, then our business would be materially affected, which could result in the loss of your entire investment.
Our Collaborative Commonwealth business model depends on our acquired companies future growth and management. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues as our current acquisitions may fail. As a result, one could lose all of the one’s investment if we select the wrong acquisition.
The loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact our business operations and future development, which could result in a loss of revenues and one’s ability to ever sell any shares.
The performance is substantially dependent upon the professional expertise of the current officers and board of directors. Each has extensive expertise in business development and acquisitions and we are dependent on their abilities. If they are unable to perform their duties, this could have an adverse effect on business operations, financial condition and operating results if we are unable to replace them with other individuals qualified to develop and market our business. The loss of their services could result in a loss of revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any shares you hold as well as the complete loss of your investment.
3 |
If we cannot remain competitive in a way that allows us to generate the amount of revenue necessary to fund our operations, it could affect our business and result in the loss of your investment.
There can be no assurance that we can compete successfully in this market. As a result, you may never be able to liquidate or sell any shares.
We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If we cannot successfully implement our business strategy, it could result in the loss of your investment.
Successful implementation of our business strategy depends on factors specific to acquiring successful businesses. Adverse changes in our acquisition process could undermine our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:
· | The competitive environment in the specific field of business acquired; and |
· | Our ability to acquire the right businesses that meet customers’ needs ; and |
· | Our ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment. |
There are no substantial barriers to acquire established businesses and because we can acquire businesses in all types of industries, there is no guarantee the Company will acquire additional businesses, which could severely limit our proposed sales and revenues. If we cannot acquire established businesses, it could result in the loss of your investment.
Since we have no copyright protection, unauthorized persons may attempt to copy aspects of our business, including our governance design or functionality, services or marketing materials. Any encroachment upon our corporate information, including the unauthorized use of our brand name, the use of a similar name by a competing company or a lawsuit initiated against us for infringement upon another company's proprietary information or improper use of their copyright, may affect our ability to create brand name recognition, cause customer confusion and/or have a detrimental effect on our business. Litigation or proceedings before the U.S. or International Patent and Trademark Offices may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and domain name and/or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such infringement, litigation or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm our business operations and/or results of operations. As a result, an investor could lose his or her entire investment.
Our stock has no public trading market and there is no guarantee a trading market will ever develop for our securities. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to liquidate your investment.
There has been, and continues to be, no public market for our common stock. An active trading market for our shares has not, and may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:
· | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
· | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates; |
· | changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours; |
· | announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
· | introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for our products; |
· | departure of key personnel. |
The over-the-counter market for stock such as ours is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the public sale price.
The securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

In general, buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative. Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. You may not able to sell your shares when you want to do so, if at all.
Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.
Because of our size and lack of resources, we may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls, which we are required to do in order to comply with U.S. GAAP and securities laws, and which could cause a materially adverse impact on our financial statements, the trading of our common stock and our business.
We are a small company that lacks the financial resources and qualified personnel to implement and sustain adequate internal controls As a result, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet proper internal control standards. Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This may result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with SEC rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any such deficiencies, material weaknesses or lack of compliance could result in restatements of our historical financial information, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, have an adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock, adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets and our ability to recruit personnel, lead to the delisting of our securities from the stock exchange on which they are traded, lead to litigation claims, thereby diverting management’s attention and resources, and which may lead to the payment of damages to the extent such claims are not resolved in our favor, lead to regulatory proceedings, which may result in sanctions, monetary or otherwise, and have a materially adverse effect on our reputation and business.
We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock in 2014.
We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock for the year 2014. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Holders
As of December 31, 2013, there were 770 record holders of our common stock, and there were 2,069,435,924 shares of our common stock outstanding.
Market Information
No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
· | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; | |
· | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; | |
· | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; | |
· | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; | |
· | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and | |
· | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation; |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
· | the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; | |
· | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; | |
· | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and | |
· | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

Results of Operations
From our inception on August 29, 2001 through December 31, 2013, we have generated $1,869 of revenue. As a result we have very little operating history upon which to evaluate our intended business. In addition, we have a history of losses. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully acquire new established businesses that generate revenues.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses, which consisted of research and development and general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $2,908,877, as compared to the operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $820,069. The difference is related to a decrease of staff members and marketing costs and officer stock based compensation of $2,257,018 was issued during 2013. Operating expenses for the period from August 29, 2001 through December 31, 2013 were $16,296,022.
Non-employee stock compensation. In December 2013, the Company issued 3,248,919 shares of Series B preferred stock and 54 shares of Series C preferred stock to certain investors of the organization. The aggregate costs amounted to a non-operating expense of $8,131,481. There was no such issuance in the prior year 2012.
Gain on conversion of debt. In December 2013, the Company issued 1,232,300 shares of Series B preferred stock and 21 shares of Series C preferred stock in exchange for outstanding debt of the organization. The aggregate exchange amounted a reduction of accounts payable related party of $273,565, a reduction of severance payable of $47,250, a reduction of officer salary payable of $857,942 and a reduction of principal and accrued interest of $1,485,580 and $1,028,528, respectively. The company recorded a gain on the conversion of debt in the amount of $520,558 for the year end December 31, 2013. There was no such issuance in the prior year 2012.
Change in value of derivative liability. During the year ended December 31, 2013, income resulting from the change in value of derivative liability amounted to $41,945 compared to a loss resulting from the change in value of derivative liability of $1,936,878 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Interest Expense. During the year end December 31, 2013 and 2012, interest expense amounted to $505,586 and $521,403, respectively. The increase in interest was a result of additional borrowings in 2013 and write-off of the debt discount upon the conversion of the notes payable to preferred stock.
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $10,982,795 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which is compared to the net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $596,245.
Our activities have been completely directed at developing our business plan for eventually generating revenue. We operated at a loss in all relevant periods.
To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of proposed business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $800,000 in revenue per year. Each dollar of revenue is not directly tied to increasing costs. We believe that we can become profitable without incurring additional costs under our current operating cost structure. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, our directors have orally agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2014 for working capital purposes, although they have no obligation to do so.
On the other hand, if we decide that we cannot operate at a profit in our current configuration, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In such event, we will probably not be profitable. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $800,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,676. As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,852.
Net cash used for operating activities was $204,926 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which was comparable to the net cash used in operating activities of $255,822 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
8 |
Cash flows used for investing activities were $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $207,750 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which compares to cash flows provided by financing activities of $248,800 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. These cash flows were all related to sales of common stock of $107,750 and Series B preferred stock of $100,000 and loans from shareholders.
Over the next twelve months we do not expect any material capital costs to develop operations. Our operating costs of $800,000 will be used for operations, but none will be used to pay salaries.
Our principal source of liquidity will be our operations or from additional financings. We expect variation in revenues to account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the stock market and trading industry as a whole. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop our products and our ability to generate revenues.
In any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will be to seek to develop clients for our services and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in developing clients for our services and generating sufficient sales, we will become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any manner which will be successful. If we are unable to obtain such profitability we will need to obtain additional financing. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
Plan of Operation
The following milestones are assessments only. The working capital requirements and the projected milestones are approximations only and subject to adjustment based on sales, costs and needs.
In first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure CDIF into a new holding company who adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Commonwealth™" a new form of governance enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public Company. Targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, income-producing commercial real estate properties and high return investments, all designed to pay a dividend to our shareholders. The reason for this was to protect our shareholders by acquiring small to minimum size businesses seeking support with both financing and management. The plan was to establish new classes of Preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt and acquire new businesses. By December of 2013 the Company negated 90% plus of all debt; by May of 2014 the Company acquired four businesses, We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza and Edge View Properties, Inc.
Recent Developments
As of this filing the Company has acquired We Three, LLC, Romeo’s NY Pizza Chain and Edge View Properties, Inc. with combined assets of approximately of $3,000,000.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915). Amongst other things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows and shareholders equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however entities are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for which the financial statements have yet to be issued. The Company has elected to early adopt these amendments and accordingly have not labeled the financial statements as those of a development stage entity and have not presented inception-to-date information on the respective financial statements
Seasonality.
We do not expect our revenues to be impacted by seasonal demands for our services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cardiff International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cardiff International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Cardiff International, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based upon our audit the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cardiff International, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, The Company has suffered net losses and has had negative cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
Legacy Card Company was formed as a Limited Liability Company on August 29, 2001. On April 18, 2005, the Company converted from a California Limited Liability Company to a Nevada Corporation. On November 10, 2005, the Company merged with Cardiff International, Inc. (“Cardiff”), a publicly held corporation. In first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure CDIF into a new holding company who adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Commonwealth™" a new form of governance enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public Company. Targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, income-producing commercial real estate properties and high return investments, all designed to pay a dividend to our shareholders. The reason for this was to protect our shareholders by acquiring small to minimum size businesses seeking support with both financing and management. The plan was to establish new classes of Preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt and acquire new businesses. By December of 2013 the Company negated 90% plus of all debt; by May of 2014 the Company acquired four businesses, We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza; Hi-Lo Farms/Cole Construction and Edge View Properties, Inc.
Development Stage Activities
The Company is a development stage enterprise. All losses accumulated since the inception of the Company have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount charged to expense was $0 and $5,220, respectively. From inception (August 29, 2001) through December 31, 2013, advertising costs was $605,554.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis. Revenue is generally realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists between the Company and our customer(s); 2) services have been rendered; 3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Derivative Instruments
FASB ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date to determine whether they would be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. Prior to July 12, 2012, the Company did not have enough authorized shares to issue common shares resulting in the potential exercise or conversion of its issued and outstanding options/warrants and convertible notes, respectively. Accordingly, these instruments were reflected as derivative liabilities for the period ended June 30, 2012 and prior. In July 2012, the Company was successful in increasing the number of authorized shares in the corporate treasury effectively eliminating the majority of the derivative liability. As such derivative liabilities with a fair value of $1,578,405 on July 12, 2012 related to equity investments were extinguished and accounted for as additional paid in capital. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes pricing model. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value and reflected the (increase) decrease in fair value for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, of $41,945 and $1,936,878 respectively, as other income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level Input | Input Definition | |
Level 1 | Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. | |

The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.
Property and Equipment

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, depreciation and amortization expense was $155 and $15,752 respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company determined that the value of its website design and patents and trademarks had been impaired and wrote down the value of these assets in the amount of $19,076.
Income Taxes
The Company was treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes up to April 18, 2005, when it converted to a Nevada Corporation. Consequently, federal income taxes were not payable by, or provided for, the Company. Members were taxed individually on their shares of the Company’s earnings. The Company’s net income or loss was allocated among the members in accordance with the regulations of the Company since April 18, 2005, when the Company was incorporated, the Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes, if any, represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
FASB ASC Subtopic 260, Earnings Per Share, provides for the calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, warrants, and debts convertible into common shares. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. During a period of net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2013, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations since they would be antidilutive. However, these dilutive securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardiff International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Legacy Card Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915). Amongst other things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows and shareholders equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however entities are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for which the financial statements have yet to be issued. The Company has elected to early adopt these amendments and accordingly have not labeled the financial statements as those of a development stage entity and have not presented inception-to-date information on the respective financial statementss.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage and as such has sustained operating losses since its inception and has negative working capital, a shareholders’ deficiency and accumulated deficit.
These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Specifically, the Company has net losses for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $10,982,795 and has used cash of $204,926 in operating the Company during this same period. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a shareholders’ deficiency of $1,808,959. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. Management has prospective investors and believes the raising of capital will allow the Company to pursue the development of its business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to us. Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds, we may be required to curtail our operating plans and possibly relinquish. rights to our acquisitions. No assurance can be given that we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cease their operations.

5. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
Some of the Convertible Notes issued as described below included an anti-dilution provision that allowed for the adjustment of the conversion price. The Company considered the current Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance of “Determining Whether an Instrument Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that the instrument is not indexed to the issuers own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that as the conversion price of the Notes issued in connection therewith could fluctuate based future events, such prices were not fixed amounts. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes issued in connection therewith are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the value of the conversion feature of such notes as derivative liabilities upon issuance.

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
In April 2008, the FASB issued a pronouncement that provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in the pronouncement on accounting for derivatives. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of these requirements can affect the accounting for warrants and many convertible instruments with provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price (or “down-round” provisions). For example, warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price.
The Company evaluated whether convertible debt and warrants to acquire stock of the Company contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price under the respective convertible debt and warrant agreements. The Company determined that the notes and the conversion notes of certain notes contained such provisions and recorded such instruments as derivative liabilities upon issuance. In addition, in periods prior to July 1, 2012, the Company did not have enough authorized shares to issue common shares resulting in the potential exercise or conversion of its issued and outstanding options, warrants or convertible notes. Accordingly, these instruments were reflected as derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2012 and prior. In July 2012, the Company was successful in increasing the number of authorized shares in the corporate treasury effectively eliminating the majority of the derivative liability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
Derivative liabilities were valued using the weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which approximates the Monte Carlo and other binomial valuation techniques, with the following assumptions:
December 31, 2013 | December 31, 2012 | |||
Conversion feature: | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.01% to 0.27% | 0.01% to 0.27% | ||
Expected volatility | 100% | 100% | ||
Expected life (in years) | 0 -2 years | 0 -2 years | ||
Expected dividend yield | 0% | 0% | ||
Warrants: | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | – | – | ||
Expected volatility | – | – | ||
Expected weighted average life (in years) | – | – | ||
Expected dividend yield | – | – | ||
Fair Value : | ||||
Conversion feature | $97,391 | $199,027 | ||
Warrants | – | – | ||
$97,391 | $199,027 |
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company based the expected volatility assumption on a volatility index of peer companies as the Company did not have sufficient market information to estimate the volatility of its own stock, and the expected life of the instruments is determined by the expiration date of the instrument. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to common stockholders in the future.
The Company determined the fair value of the derivative liabilities related to debt instruments to be $1,936,878 as of December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a gain for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,936,878 which is recorded in the accompanying statement of operations for the year then ended. Also in 2012, the completion of the increase in the number of authorized shares resulted in the extinguishment of the derivatives of $1,578,405 pertaining to warrants and options. As the warrants and options are related to equity instruments, the extinguishment of derivative liabilities was recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital. The fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined to be $157,082 at December 31, 2013.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, total deferred income tax assets consist principally of net operating loss carryforwards which have been fully reduced by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty surrounding their ultimate realization.
The Company has adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and various states. For jurisdictions in which tax filings are prepared, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by state tax authorities for tax years through 2006, and by the IRS for tax years through 2007. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to IRS examination until they are fully utilized and such tax years are closed.

The Company has no historical experience with which to establish a basis for determining an expected life of these awards. Therefore, the Company only gave consideration to the contractual terms and did not consider the vesting schedules, exercise patterns and pre-vesting and post-vesting forfeitures significant to the expected life of the option award.
We estimate the volatility of our common stock based on the calculated historical volatility of similar entities in industry, in size and in financial leverage whose share prices are publicly available. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model.
There were no options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

ITEM 9. DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
We did not have any disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our present accounting firm during the reporting period.
ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective.
As described below under Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, our management has identified and reported to our audit committee and KLJ & Associates, LLP our independent registered public accounting firm, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of these material weaknesses, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.
Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2013. There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls 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.
Ineffective controls over the accounting for cash disbursements
Management has not obtained or maintained documentation supporting all cash disbursements. This control deficiency arose during the year ended December 31, 2007 and was identified by management during the annual evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
Ineffective controls over the recording of equity transactions
Management does not have an adequate process to ensure that all equity transactions are properly recorded in a timely manner.
Lack of segregation of duties and ineffective review process
Management does not have proper segregation of duties and does not have an effective review process in place.
33 |
Lack of oversight by Audit Committee
The Company does not have a functioning audit committee due to a lack of independent members and a lack of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls, approvals and procedures.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report on Form 10-K.
