PART I
Item 1. Business
Organization
MacroSolve, Inc. is an Oklahoma corporation formed on January 17, 1997, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma and does business as Anyware Mobile Solutions, a division of MacroSolve. MacroSolve, Inc. filed a registration statement Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a fully reporting OTC Bulletin Board company and trading commenced on August 15, 2008.
Overview
We are a technology and services company that develops mobile solutions for businesses and government. A mobile solution is typically the combination of mobile handheld devices, wireless connectivity, and software that streamlines business operations resulting in improved efficiencies and cost savings. We are development and marketing partners with the major mobile device manufacturers, wireless carriers and many software providers.
Traditionally, our customers rely on us to define, design, develop and support the best combinations of technologies in a market that is very technologically dynamic. We assist software and web-based application companies by modifying their software product offerings so that they can be used by a mobile end-user who typically has a Smartphone or a similar cellular device. Many of these customers rely on our technology and marketing expertise. We also serve enterprises that find it difficult to identify a mobile software product which addresses their specific need to streamline operational processes, and do not have the competency in house.
Our latest technology and services capabilities generate a growing base of intellectual property, contract and an increasing amount of annuity based revenue. In 2009, we began investing in products which are being distributed through the leading mobile application stores. These products include ReFormXT™, which helps to minimize mobile application development effort, and DineInsight™, which uses ReFormXT technology for mobile target marketing, promotions and branding for the restaurant industry. DigiTicket, a mobile software platform for issuing electronic citations by law enforcement entities, was also launched and marketed through direct and channel sales methods.
The Company is developing several other mobile software products using ReFormXT technology which may not contribute significant revenues in 2010. ReForm XT was launched in December 2008. DineInsight was launched in December 2009. Neither DineInsight nor DigiTicket has yet to contribute significant revenues to MacroSolve. The Company invested $80,897 and $150,550 in ReFormXT and ReFormXT iPhone capitalized development costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, $28,999 in DineInsight capitalized development costs in 2009, and $345,116 and $32,353 in DigiTicket capitalized development costs in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
On February 12, 2010, MacroSolve, Inc. entered into and closed an Asset Sales Agreement with Saltus Technologies, LLC to sell the Company’s assets related to the digiTICKET™ electronic ticketing product. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will receive $450,000 in cash. $400,000 in cash was received by the Company upon closing of the transaction and the Company will receive an additional $50,000 in cash over a period of six months for product transfer support services. The net proceeds are being used to further the development and marketing of the Powered by ReForm products.

After incorporating in 1997, the Company originally served business customers in the manufacturing industry. Most of the professional services engagements included systems integration and customization. Its largest customer was Titan Tire and Wheel, the largest tractor tire and wheel manufacturer in the U.S., which relied on the Company to streamline paper intensive business processes with distributed applications on the manufacturing floor. This discipline gave the Company experience in mobile computing with rugged handheld devices in an era where bar-coding inventory and using handheld scanners for data entry was in its infancy.
Since 2006 through the present, the Company has focused efforts on expanding and broadening industry relationships which could augment development and marketing advantages for its services business. To this end, the Company is in a wide range of agreements and relationships with Apple, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Palm, RIM, Intermec, Psion Teklogix, Symbol/Motorola, WBS, ScanSource and other North American mobile industry leaders.
Currently the Company has ongoing projects across the United States and Canada and operates three websites including ‘www.goanyware.com’, ‘www.macrosolve.com’ and the industry thought leading blog ‘www.mobilebizbuzz.com’.
Our Products and Services
Our mobile solutions services business currently represents a significant source of revenue for the Company. Working with our mobile partners, our professional services team provides solution management, product development, project management, quality assurance and support services to address the needs of a client base seeking to use mobility to improve their process efficiencies and modify software applications so that they can be used in a mobile environment.
Our primary software product is ReFormXT™, a web-based mobile application builder. ReFormXT™ simplifies the process of converting paper forms to a digital form that can be utilized on most Smartphones available in the United States. A web-based interface allows a non-technical user to create and dispatch forms to users and easily manage data input from the field. The components of the platform are also utilized as mobile application development tools, thus saving time and money for customers needing more customized solutions. ReFormXT became commercially available in December 2008. Recent customers are using ReForm in field service activities and personal service appointment setting activities. ReForm has contributed less than five percent of annual revenues since initial inception.
Mobile software products using ReFormXT technology are sold directly through MacroSolve’s Anyware Mobile Solutions division and will soon be available through a select number of resellers.
Intellectual Property
The Corporation reviews each of its intellectual properties and makes a determination as to the best means to protect such property, by trademark, by copyright, by patent, by trade secret, or otherwise. The Corporation believes that it has taken appropriate steps to protect its intellectual properties, depending on its evaluation of the factors unique to each such property, but cannot guarantee that this is the case. United States and foreign patents applications regarding ReForm™ were applied for in 2003 and the applications are pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office at the date of this document. The Corporation views the office actions of the United States Patent and Trademark Office as being positive but there is no guarantee that a patent will be issued.
The corporation has intellectual property that relates to extending applications to multiple handsets operating on multiple wireless networks which it handles as a trade secret and which it considers to be valuable.
Recent Product and/or Market Developments:
Additional software products powered by ReFormXT are in various stages of development. A marketing, promotion and branding product called DineInsight entered beta testing in the Fourth Quarter of 2009. DineInsight, powered by ReFormXT, is a mobile application for the restaurant industry which collects market intelligence and contact information directly from the customer. The Company is continuing to prove the concept and enhance the offering by working closely with its initial customer base. DineInsight, and a companion product called ClubInsight, has been deployed to five initial customers with five additional customers expected during the First Quarter of 2010. DineInsight and ClubInsight are expected to contribute less than 20% of the 2010 annual revenues.

United States Industry Overview
In a December 2009 report, IDC, an independent market intelligence firm, predicts 2010 will be a watershed year in the ascension of mobile devices as strategic platforms for commercial and enterprise developers. The business markets no longer view mobile devices as being subservient to PCs, but instead as primary client platforms for developers and users alike. In fact, they’ve already have eclipsed, or will soon eclipse, PCs in several strategic dimensions of adoption (e.g., number of devices accessing the Internet, number of developers, number of applications, number of users). So it’s not surprising that global marketing research and consulting firm Compass Intelligence’s latest mobile application sturdy reports that $7.66 Billion will be spent by US businesses in 2010 – jumping to $18.7 Billion by 2014. Over half that amount, or $9.9 Billion, will be spent by small and medium business alone. While mobile applications like email, contact management, GPS and collaboration are ubiquitous, the increase of true business-focused applications has allowed organizations of all sizes to mobilize internal and external process, enabling faster grower, higher revenues, and lower costs.
Market Opportunity
MacroSolve has been marketing mobile solutions in cooperation with the leading mobile technology vendors nationwide for over six years while assisting applications companies with mobile offerings for five years. In our research and experience, we are seeing the advancement of mobile technology as an operational tool in businesses. Many businesses have adopted mobile devices with mobile email and are more active in exploring the utilization of the technology to streamline business processes with mobile data and video solutions.
This market is growing as new Smartphone and rugged devices are reaching the market, giving end users and enterprises more computing power and flexibility beyond a cell phone or laptop. The growing number of ‘appstores’ and their familiarity to consumers of all types has greatly minimized application distribution challenges. Large enterprises have the technical and financial resources to purchase substantial mobile application platforms. These customers are well served by the leading wireless carriers, mobile hardware manufacturers and application developers.
Over 6 million medium and small businesses are currently underserved by the industry leaders. At the same time, PC and web-based application companies are seeking to modify their solutions with mobile offerings. Entering the mobile application market complicates established business models, marketing channels and challenges technical resources with the dynamics of developing to a much wider variety of devices, operating systems, connectivity and users.
Finally, wireless carriers and mobile hardware companies are looking for more niche applications and are opening their platforms in order to increase the value of their products and services. All of these developments create demand for MacroSolve to bring business customers and technology suppliers together in a ubiquitous e-marketplace
Strategy
Operating Strategies
The Company is structured in three operating divisions. Reform XT maintains a dedicated staff of sales, product development and support. A services division manages large custom projects which are on the leading edge of technological capabilities. The third, a strategic product development and marketing group, is engaged with industry leaders on developing next generation solutions.
Given the increasing demand, longer term projects, options for more passive revenue and niche positioning within the software product enhancements business, technical resources are being augmented in the talent pool along with more specialized mobile industry marketing resources. In order to manage growth, communications, project management, billing, and other processes are currently being streamlined with new automation platforms.
Growth Strategies
With a proven operational model in place, the growth strategies are centered on marketing.
Our e-Marketplace Growth Strategy is centered on the aggregation of all mobile software, hardware, accessories and services in cooperation with our partners, and marketing those using new web-based methods.
Our Product Growth Strategy will expand the Company’s portfolio of vertical solutions by introducing market specific apps, powered by ReForm XT. This expansion will be accelerated and expanded by the inclusion of market resellers and private label service providers across North America. Our Services division will continue to develop leading edge technologies which may develop into new products in the future.

Employees
The Company has twenty-two (22) full-time employees. Seven employees who comprise the DigiTicket product team are leased to Saltus Technologies LLC as part of a transition services arrangement at least through August 2010.
Dividends
We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts, as the Board of Directors deems relevant.
Subsequent Events
On February 12, 2010, MacroSolve, Inc. entered into and closed an Asset Sales Agreement with Saltus Technologies, LLC to sell the Company’s assets related to the digiTICKET™ electronic ticketing product. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will receive $450,000 in cash. $400,000 in cash was received by the Company upon closing of the transaction and the Company will receive an additional $50,000 in cash over a period of six months for product transfer support services. The net proceeds are being used to further the development and marketing of the Powered by ReForm products.
Eric Fultz, Vice President of Operations, resigned as an officer of the Company in connection with the sale to Saltus Technologies, LLC. Mr. Fultz is still employed by the Company as part of the DigiTicket team which is being leased to Saltus until at least August 2010 during a transition period.
Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Company has received an additional $283,880 from Debenture investors. The net proceeds of were used as working capital and for general corporate purposes. The investors received 2,838,800 warrants related to their 2010 investment. Debenture investors also received a total of 852,442 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $28,983 in interest accrued during the fourth quarter of 2009.
The Company issued 7,751,911 compensation shares to employees for services rendered between the second and fourth quarters of 2009. An additional 1,000,000 shares were earned by employees in a stock bonus plan. These shares have a three year vesting period and will be issued during the first half of 2010.
The Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to each of its four outside directors for services rendered during the fourth quarter of 2009.
The Company issued 439,531 compensation shares to vendors for services rendered during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Customers
For the year ended December 31, 2009, MacroSolve was dependent upon a single customer, Navigation Solutions of Plano, Texas, who constituted more than ten percent of the overall revenues.
Competition
Our market contains few substantial barriers to entry. We believe we will face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. We are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our business process professional services from Accenture, IBM Global Services, Google, Apple and Microsoft, among others. In addition, we are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our software products and professional services from Flowfinity, iAnywhere, Formotus, Pendragon, and Mobile Frame, among others.
Government Regulation
Our principal products and services do not require any government approval. We do not anticipate that existing or probable governmental regulations, including environmental laws, will have any effect on our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
We face intense competition in the market for mobile computing products and services, which could reduce our market share and revenue.
Our market contains few substantial barriers to entry. We believe we will face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. We are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our business process professional services from Accenture, IBM Global Services, Google, Apple and Microsoft, among others. In addition, we are subject to current and potential competition with respect to our software products and professional services from Flowfinity, iAnywhere, Formotus, Pendragon, and Mobile Frame, among others.
In addition to the direct competition noted above, we face indirect competition from existing and potential customers that may provide internally developed solutions for each of our products or services. As a result, we must educate prospective customers as to the advantage of our products compared to internally developed solutions.
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. Our larger competitors may be able to provide customers with additional benefits in connection with their products, services, and costs, including reduced communications costs. As a result, these companies may be able to price their products and services more competitively than we can and respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. If we are unable to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, we may lose market share, and our business and prospects would suffer.
Consolidation in the wireless industry may strengthen our competitors’ position in our market. Consolidation of our competitors has occurred, and we expect it to continue to occur in the foreseeable future. Acquisitions may further strengthen our competitors’ financial, technical and marketing resources.
Most sales with mobile carriers and enterprises have a long sales cycle process, which increases the cost of completing sales and renders completion of sales less predictable.
The sales cycle process with mobile carriers could be long, making it difficult to predict the quarter in which we may recognize revenue from a sale, if at all. The general length of the sales cycle increases our costs and may cause license revenue and other operating results to vary significantly from period to period. Our products or services often are part of significant strategic decisions by our customers regarding their information systems. Accordingly, the decision to license our products or use our services typically requires significant pre-purchase evaluation. We spend substantial time providing information to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our products and services. During this evaluation period, we may expend significant funds in sales and marketing efforts. If anticipated sales from a specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized in that quarter, our operating results may be adversely affected.
6
If we fail to maintain our existing relationships or enter into new relationships with OEM and business development organizations, or if products offered by our OEM partners fail to achieve or maintain market acceptance, our brand awareness, the sales of our products and use of our services would suffer.
Our revenue from technology licensing depends, in large part, on our ability to develop and maintain relationships with OEMs and business development organizations that help distribute our products and promote our services. We depend on these relationships to:
|
●
|
distribute our products to purchasers of mobile devices;
|
|
●
|
increase the use of our services;
|
|
●
|
build brand awareness through product marketing; and
|
|
●
|
market our products and services cooperatively.
|
If the products that these equipment manufacturers or business development organizations sell or if any of these companies cease to use our product and service offerings in significant volumes, our product sales would decline and our business would suffer. For example, if growth in the number of devices sold by our OEM partners is delayed or did not occur, our business would suffer.
Our agreements with OEMs, distributors, and resellers generally are nonexclusive and may be terminated on short notice by either party without cause. Furthermore, our OEMs, distributors and resellers are not within our control, are not obligated to purchase products or services from us, and may represent other lines including competing products. A reduction in sales effort or discontinuance of sales of our products by our OEMs, distributors, and resellers could lead to reduced sales and could materially adversely affect our operating results.
Our market changes rapidly due to evolution in technology and industry standards. If we do not adapt to meet the sophisticated needs of our customers, our business and prospects will suffer.
The market for our products and services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new product and service introductions. Our future success will depend to a substantial degree on our ability to offer products and services that adapt to these changing markets, incorporate leading technology, address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our rapidly evolving market makes it more likely that:
|
●
|
our technology or products may become obsolete upon the introduction of alternative technologies;
|
|
●
|
we may not have sufficient resources to develop or acquire new technologies or to introduce new products or services capable of competing with future technologies or service offerings of other companies; and
|
|
●
|
we may not have sufficient resources to develop or acquire new technologies or to introduce new products or services capable of competing with future technologies or service offerings of other companies.
|
To the extent we determine that new technologies are required to remain competitive, the development, acquisition and implementation of these technologies is likely to continue to require significant capital investment by us. Moreover, we cannot be certain that we can develop, market and deliver new products and technology on a timely basis. Sufficient capital may not be available for this purpose in the future, and even if it is available, investments in new technologies may not result in commercially viable technological processes and there may not be commercial applications for such technologies. If we do not develop, acquire and introduce new products and services and achieve market acceptance in a timely manner, our business and prospects will suffer.
7
Our business and prospects depend, to a significant degree, on demand for wireless and other mobile computing devices.
The use of wireless and other mobile computing devices for retrieving, sharing and transferring information among businesses, consumers, suppliers and partners has begun to develop only in recent years. Our success will depend in large part on continued growth in the use of wireless and other mobile computing devices, including handheld computers, smart phones, pagers and other mobile devices. In addition, our markets face critical unresolved issues concerning the commercial use of wireless and other mobile computing devices, including security, reliability, cost, ease of access and use, quality of service, regulatory initiatives and necessary increases in bandwidth availability. Demand for, and market acceptance of, wireless and other mobile computing devices which require our products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and are dependent on a number of factors, including:
|
●
|
growth in sales of handheld devices, smart phones and other mobile computing devices and growth in wireless network capabilities to match end-user demand and requirements;
|
|
●
|
emergence of a viable and sustainable market for wireless and mobile computing services;
|
|
●
|
our product and services differentiation and quality;
|
|
●
|
the development of technologies that facilitate interactive communication between organizations;
|
|
●
|
our distribution and pricing strategies as compared with those of our competitors;
|
|
●
|
the growth in access to, and market acceptance of, new interactive technologies;
|
|
●
|
the effectiveness of our marketing strategy and efforts;
|

general industry and economic conditions such as slowdowns in the computer or software markets or the economy in general.
|
If the market for wireless and other mobile computing devices as a commercial or business medium develops more slowly than expected, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed.
Even if the wireless and mobile computing services market does develop, our products and services may not achieve widespread market acceptance. If our target customers do not adopt, purchase and successfully deploy our other current and planned products and services, our revenue will not grow significantly and our business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed.
We might experience significant errors or security flaws in our products and services.
Despite testing prior to their release, software products may contain errors or security flaws, particularly when first introduced or when new versions are released. Errors in our software products could affect the ability of our products to work with other hardware or software products, could delay the development or release of new products or new versions of products and could adversely affect market acceptance of our products. If we experience errors or delays in releasing new products or new versions of products, we could lose revenues. Our customers rely on our products and services for critical parts of their businesses and they may have a greater sensitivity to product errors and security vulnerabilities than customers for software products generally. Software product errors and security flaws in our products or services could expose us to product liability, performance and/or warranty claims as well as harm our reputation, which could impact our future sales of products and services. The detection and correction of any security flaws can be time consuming and costly.
Insufficient protection for our intellectual property rights may have a material adverse affect on our results of operations or our ability to compete.
We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights in the United States and in selected foreign countries through a combination of reliance on intellectual property laws (including copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws) and registrations of selected patent, trademark and copyright rights in selected jurisdictions, as well as licensing and other agreements preventing the unauthorized disclosure and use of our intellectual property. We cannot assure you that these protections will be adequate to prevent third parties from copying or reverse engineering our products, from engaging in other unauthorized use of our technology, or from independently developing and marketing products or services that are substantially equivalent to or superior to our own. Moreover, third parties may be able to successfully challenge, oppose, invalidate or circumvent our patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secret rights. We may elect or be unable to obtain or maintain certain protections for certain of our intellectual property in certain jurisdictions, and our intellectual property rights may not receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they would in the United States because of the differences in foreign laws concerning intellectual property rights. Lack of protection of certain intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, monitoring and protecting our intellectual property rights is difficult and costly. From time to time, we may be required to initiate litigation or other action to enforce our intellectual property rights or to establish their validity. Such action could result in substantial cost and diversion of resources and management attention and we cannot assure you that any such action will be successful.
8
If third parties claim that we are in violation of their intellectual property rights, it could have a negative impact on our results of operations or ability to compete.
Patent litigation involving software and telecom companies has increased significantly in recent years as the number of software and telecom patents has increased and as the number of patent holding companies has increased. We face the risk of claims that products or services that we provide have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties. We are not engaged in any litigation of any kind whatsoever at this time.
Pricing pressure in the mobile software and technology market could adversely affect our operating results.
Competition and industry consolidation in the mobile messaging market have resulted in pricing pressure, which we expect to continue in the future. This pricing pressure could cause large reductions in the selling price of our services. For example, consolidation in the wireless services industry could give our customers increased transaction volume leverage in pricing negotiations. Our competitors or our customers’ in-house solutions may also provide services at a lower cost, significantly increasing pricing pressures on us. While historically pricing pressure has been largely offset by volume increases and the introduction of new services, in the future we may not be able to offset the effects of any price reductions.
If we fail to maintain or expand our relationships with strategic partners and indirect distribution channels our revenues could decline.
Our development, marketing and distribution strategies depend in part on our ability to form strategic relationships with other technology companies. If these companies change their business focus, enter into strategic alliances with other companies or are acquired by our competitors or others, support for our products and services could be reduced or eliminated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Industry consolidation and other competitive pressures could affect prices or demand for our products and services, and our business may be adversely affected.
The IT industry and the market for our products and services are becoming increasingly competitive due to a variety of factors. There is also a growing trend toward consolidation in the software industry. Continued consolidation within the software industry could create opportunities for larger software companies, such as IBM, Microsoft and Oracle, to increase their market share through the acquisition of companies that dominate certain lucrative market niches or that have loyal installed customer bases. Continued consolidation activity could pose a significant competitive disadvantage to us.
The significant purchasing and market power of larger companies may also subject us to increased pricing pressures. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources, and a larger installed customer base than us. In addition, our competitors’ advertising and marketing efforts could overshadow our own and/or adversely influence customer perception of our products and services, and harm our business and prospects as a result. To remain competitive, we must develop and promote new products and solutions, enhance existing products and retain competitive pricing policies, all in a timely manner. Our failure to compete successfully with new or existing competitors in these and other areas could have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate new revenues or sustain existing revenue levels.
9
The ability to rapidly develop and bring to market advanced products and services that are successful is crucial to maintaining our competitive position.
Widespread use of the Internet and fast-growing market demand for mobile and wireless solutions may significantly alter the manner in which business is conducted in the future. In light of these developments, our ability to timely meet the demand for new or enhanced products and services to support wireless and mobile business operations at competitive prices could significantly impact our ability to generate future revenues. If the market for unwired solutions does not continue to develop as we anticipate, if our solutions and services do not successfully compete in the relevant markets, or our new products are not widely adopted and successful, our competitive position and our operating results could be adversely affected. While acquisition of certain competitors could enhance our position, we have no discussions in that regard at this time.
System failures, delays and other problems could harm our reputation and business, cause us to lose customers and expose us to customer liability.
The success of our products, specifically ReForm™, is highly dependent on its ability to provide reliable services to customers. These operations could be interrupted by any damage to or failure of our or our customers, or suppliers, computer software, hardware or networks, and our connections and outsourced service arrangements with third parties.
Anyware’s systems and operations are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from power loss, transmission cable cuts and other telecommunications failures, natural disasters, interruption of service due to potential facility migrations, computer viruses or software defects, physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events and errors by our employees or third-party service providers.
Because many of our services play a mission-critical role for our customers, any damage to or failure of the infrastructure we rely on, including that of our customers and vendors, could disrupt the operation of our network and the provision of our services, result in the loss of current and potential customers and expose us to potential customer liability.
Economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide could adversely affect our revenues.
Our revenues and operating results depend on the overall demand for our products and services. If the U.S. and worldwide economies continue to weaken, either alone or in tandem with other factors beyond our control (including war, political unrest, shifts in market demand for our products, actions by competitors, etc.), we may not be able to maintain or expand our recent revenue growth. We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.
Our capital requirements in connection with our ecommerce development activities and transition to commercial operations have been and will continue to be significant. We will require additional funds to develop direct Internet sales of products and services. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. There is no assurance additional funds will be available from any source; or, if available, such funds may not be on terms acceptable to the Company. In either of the aforementioned situations, the Company may not be able to fully implement its growth plans. Moreover, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of stock by our selling stockholders, and thus this offering will not affect our ability to meet capital requirements.
We depend on key employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel.
The success of our business will continue to depend upon certain key technical and senior management personnel many of whom would be extremely difficult to replace. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our existing key managerial, technical, or sales and marketing personnel. The loss of these officers and other or key employees in the future might adversely affect our business and impede the achievement of our business objectives. We believe our ability to achieve increased revenue and to develop successful new products and product enhancements will depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled sales and marketing and qualified product development personnel. In addition, competition for employees in our industry and geographic location could be intense. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel on acceptable terms. Our ability to hire and retain such personnel will depend in part upon our ability to raise capital or achieve increased revenue levels to fund the costs associated with such personnel. Failure to attract and retain key personnel may adversely affect our business.
10
We may have to spend substantial funds on sales and marketing in the future.
To increase awareness for our new and existing products, technology and services, we may have to spend significantly more on sales and marketing in the future. We also plan to continue to leverage our relationships with industry leaders and to expand and diversify our sales and marketing initiatives to increase our sales to mobile carriers and enterprises. If our marketing strategy is unsuccessful, we may not be able to recover these expenses or even generate any revenue. We will be required to develop a marketing and sales campaign that will effectively demonstrate the advantages of our products, technology and services. We may also elect to enter into agreements or relationships with third parties regarding the promotion or marketing of our products, technology and services. We cannot be certain that we will be able to establish adequate sales and marketing capabilities, that we will be able to enter into marketing agreements or relationships with third parties on financially acceptable terms, or that any third parties with whom we enter into such arrangements will be successful in marketing and promoting the products, technology and services offered by us.
Shareholders will have limited or no input on any investment or management decisions.
The Company will be managed by the Officers and by the Board. Very few matters will be submitted to Shareholder vote. Therefore, as a minority shareholder, you will have no or limited say in the management of the Company. Accordingly, no prospective investor should purchase any Shares unless it is willing to entrust all aspects of our business and operations to the current Officers and Board of the Company.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock and its Market Value
There is a limited market for our common stock which may make it more difficult for you to dispose of your stock.
Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “MCVE” since August 15, 2008. There is a limited trading market for our common stock. Furthermore, the trading in our common stock maybe highly volatile, as for example, approximately all trading days from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 saw trading in our stock of less than 13,000 shares per day. During that same period, the smallest number of shares trade in one day was zero and the largest number of shares traded in one day was 731,800. Out of the 253 trading days in 2009, zero shares traded on 138 days. On the 115 days that trading occurred, 52 days traded 5,000 shares or less. 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 price of our Common Stock may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to fluctuations in response to a number of factors beyond our control. Some of these factors are:
|
●
|
our results of operations and the performance of our competitors;
|
|
●
|
the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;
|
|
●
|
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who follow, or may follow, us or other companies in our industry;
|
|
●
|
changes in general economic conditions;
|
|
●
|
changes in market prices for oil and gas;
|
|
●
|
actions of our historical equity investors, including sales of common stock by our directors and executive officers;
|
|
●
|
actions by institutional investors trading in our stock;
|
|
●
|
disruption of our operations;
|
|
●
|
any major change in our management team;
|
|
●
|
other developments affecting us, our industry or our competitors; and
|
|
●
|
U.S. and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.
|
In recent years the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause declines in the market price of our common stock. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company or our performance, and those fluctuations could materially reduce our common stock price.
11
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
|
●
|
that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
|
|
●
|
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
|
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
|
●
|
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
|
|
●
|
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
|
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
|
●
|
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
|
|
●
|
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the exchange act and the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley act, strains our resources, increases our costs and may distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.
As a public company, we need to comply with laws, regulations and requirements, including certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations of the SEC. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements occupies a significant amount of the time of our board of directors and management. We are or may be required to:
|
●
|
institute a comprehensive compliance function;
|
|
●
|
establish internal policies, such as those relating to disclosure controls and procedures and insider trading;
|
|
●
|
design, establish, evaluate and maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
|
|
●
|
prepare and distribute periodic reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws;
|
|
●
|
involve and retain outside counsel and accountants in the above activities; and
|
|
●
|
establish an investor relations function.
|
12
In addition, rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of the assessment by our independent registered public accountants. The requirement of an annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and the attestation of the assessment by our independent registered public accountants, as the rules now stand, have been postponed and will not first apply to our annual report for fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 as originally disclosed. In the future, our ability to continue to comply with our financial reporting requirements and other rules that apply to reporting companies could be impaired, and we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities. In addition, failure to comply with Section 404 or a report of a material weakness may cause investors to lose confidence in us and may have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
We may need additional capital that could dilute the ownership interest of investors.
We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our common stock and they may experience additional dilution. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional common stock by our management may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
We may be unsuccessful in coming to terms with institutional investors to raise additional equity funds.
The purpose of registering our stock for public sale was part of a plan to raise capital from institutional investors in a PIPE transaction. Due to the unusually economic climate in the United States in the third and fourth quarters of 2008 through the present time, we have not finalized terms with an institutional investor.

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008 (all references are to fiscal years).
Total Net Sales: Total Net Sales decreased $1,746,000 or 65% to $952,000 in 2009 from $2,698,000 for 2008. Sources of revenues were derived from our services business, hardware sales and software licensing. Services revenues represented the majority of the annual decrease declining $1,782,000 in 2009 from $2,599,000 in 2008 to $817,000 in 2009 as the Company became more product focused, concentrating resources on bringing DigiTicket and DineInsight to market as well as further enhancements to the community website project and ReFormXT for iPhone. Hardware sales to third parties and in support of our services activities increased $41,000 in 2009 to $101,000 from $60,000 in 2008. Software licensing sales decreased $6,000 in 2009 to $33,000 from $39,000 in 2008. More software revenue was invoiced and collected in 2009 than in 2008 as the unearned software revenue portion of Unearned Income increased $32,000 to $37,000 in 2009 from $5,000 in 2008.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit: Cost of Sales for 2009 of $530,000 decreased $1,002,000 in relation to the lower level of revenues, or 64% from the $1,532,000 in 2008. The majority of this decrease was represented by reduction in staffing in delivery of the services revenue and focus of remaining resources on new product development and product enhancements. The resultant Gross Profit for 2009 of $422,000 was $744,000 lower than the Gross Profit for 2008 of $1,166,000.
Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 81,000, or 4% in 2009 to $2,162,000 from $2,081,000 in 2008. This modest increase reflects both increases in costs associated new product marketing and first year amortization of ReFormXT offset by staffing reductions related to decrease in the services business.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations for 2009 of $1,740,000 was up $826,000 or 47% from the loss from operations in 2008 of $914,000 as a result of the decrease in gross profit and first year amortization of ReFormXT offset by management’s control of operating, selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other Income and Expense: Total other expenses of $109,000 in 2009 were $26,000 less than the total of $135,000 in 2008. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in stock based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense, within other expenses, was $51,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $80,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $29,000. All stock compensation was calculated at fair market value and other required inputs at the date of options grants in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
Net Loss: Net Loss of $1,850,000 in 2009 was $800,000 or 76% greater than the net loss in 2008 of 1,050,000 as a result of the overall decline in the services business, first year amortization of ReFormXT, additional costs related to being a public company and investments in new product marketing campaigns.
There was no provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended 2009 and 2008 due to a valuation allowance of $2.4 million recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively on the total tax provision as we believed that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be utilized during the next year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of cash in 2009 were from financing and equity transactions. Proceeds from private placement equity fund raising and placement of convertible secured debentures were offset by cash used in operating and investing activities for our products. Operating cash flow fluctuations were substantially driven by a general decline in the business environment which began in the latter part of 2008 and continued through 2009. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

Operating Activities:
Net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $1,363,000 which was an increase in use of cash of $538,000 from $825,000 net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to operating expenses and the Company’s net loss related to implementing the Company’s growth plan, new product marketing costs, administrative costs related to public company expenses, investor relations costs and other professional fees.
Net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $825,000 which was an increase in use of cash of $114,000 from $711,000 net cash outflow during the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to operating expenses related to implementing the Company’s growth plan, administrative costs related to public company expenses, investor relations costs and other professional fees, and a decrease in receivables offset by a decrease in unearned income associated with a large project that was prebilled per the contract at the end of December, 2007.
Investing Activities:
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $732,000, which was an increase of $252,000 from $480,000 net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to increased investment in capitalized software development costs.
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $480,000, which was an increase of $321,000 from $249,000 net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to increased investment in capitalized software development costs.
Financing Activities;
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $664,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 to $2,045,000 as compared to $1,380,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 due to $600,000 in proceeds from convertible loans from qualified investors which converted to common stock in 2009. The loans which totaled were converted under a December 30, 2008 private placement offering which is offering 400,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per 1 share of common stock, $0.01 par value, and one Warrant to purchase an identical number of shares at a purchase price of $2.25. The Warrants have a three year life. The net proceeds of the offering were used to accelerate the Company’s growth plan and for general corporate purposes of the Company. As a result the Company entering into Securities Purchase Agreements in July 2009, the Most Favored Nations clause of the Private Placement offering of December 30, 2008 as amended April 13, 2009 was triggered. In a Board action dated July 28, 2009, 18,641,207 additional shares of common stock par value $0.01 were authorized to be issued and new warrants which replace the original warrants, with identical expiration dates as original warrants, to purchase 19,972,720 shares of common stock priced at $0.10 were authorized to issued to the investors in the Private Placement offering of December 30, 2008 as amended April 13, 2009.

The Company issued approximately $1,603,000 of Convertible Debentures between July 20 and December 31, 2009. Approximately $326,000 was from the conversion of short term operating loans and the remaining $1,277,000 in new funds. The remaining Convertible Debentures will be issued on a monthly schedule from January 2010 to September 2010, dependent upon the Company meeting certain milestones.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $1,111,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 to $1,381,000 as compared to $270,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 due to proceeds from convertible loan from qualified investors which converted to common stock at the end of 2008. The loans were converted under a December 30, 2008 private placement offering which is offering 3,333,333 shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per 1 share of common stock, $0.01 par value, and one Warrant to purchase an identical number of shares at a purchase price of $2.25. The Warrants have a three year life. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to accelerate the Company’s growth plan and for general corporate purposes of the Company.
Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our common stock and they may experience additional dilution. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. The issuance of additional common stock by our management may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
Historically, we have financed our cash needs by private placements of our securities. We have registered the privately issued securities for resale. We intend to finance future cash needs primarily through equity offerings but may fund those needs through debt offerings. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on terms consistent with our past financings or satisfactory to use.
We issue shares for compensation to our employees for services. The Company issued 7,751,911 compensation shares to employees for services rendered between the second and fourth quarters of 2009. An additional 1,000,000 shares were earned by employees in a stock bonus plan. These shares have a three year vesting period and will be issued during the first half of 2010.
As of December 31, 2009, our common stock is the only class of stock outstanding and we have $1,869,995 in long-term debt that consists of convertible secured debentures, an advancing term loan with a financial institution for financing equipment and a note from the State of Oklahoma Technology Business Finance Program.
Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Company has received an additional $283,880 from Debenture investors. The net proceeds of were used as working capital and for general corporate purposes. The investors received 2,838,800 warrants related to their 2010 investment. Debenture investors also received a total of 852,442 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $28,983 in interest accrued during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Contractual Obligations
None.
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, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported results of operations and the amount of reported assets and liabilities. Some accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements. Described below are the most significant policies we apply in preparing our financial statements, some of which are subject to alternative treatments under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also describe the most significant estimates and assumptions we make in applying these policies. We discussed the development, selection and disclosure of each of these with our audit committee. See Results of Operations above and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for a discussion of additional accounting policies and estimates made by management.
17
Nature of Operations:
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts and transactions of MacroSolve Inc. a division of the Company operates “doing business as” Anyware Mobile Solutions™.
Cash Equivalents:
Cash equivalents are represented by operating accounts or money market accounts maintained with insured financial institutions
Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:
Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of solution services, software and hardware. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. At the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company deems all amounts recorded as collectible and, thus has not provided an allowance for uncollectible amounts.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods applied to individual property items based on estimated useful lives.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue generated from the provision of services is recognized at the time the service is provided. Sales of hardware are recognized upon delivery to the customer. Revenue from the licensing of software is recognized ratably over the license period.
Software Development Costs:
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility and before the product is released for sale to customers are capitalized. These costs are amortized over three years and are reviewed for impairment at each period end.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
18
Long-Lived Assets:
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109). SFAS No. 109 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: Rick Freeman/please advise
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 166”). SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 166 improves the comparability of information that a reporting entity provides regarding transfers of financial assets and the effects on its financial statements. SFAS No. 166 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that SFAS No. 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 168 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 168, which has no effect on the Company’s financial statements as it is for disclosure purposes only.
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We have adopted the new disclosure requirements in our financial statements and do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial statements.
19
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly. Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which clarifies application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for us beginning July 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have a material effect on our financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our financial statements, together with the independent registered public accounting firm’s report of Sutton Robinson Freeman & Co., P.C., begin on page F-1, immediately after the signature page.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On May 18, 2009, MacroSolve, Inc. (“MacroSolve” or “the Company”) dismissed HoganTaylor, LLP (the “Former Auditor”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On that same date, the Company engaged Hood Sutton Robinson & Freeman CPAs, P.C. (the “New Auditor”), as its new independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Company’s decision to engage the New Auditor was approved by its Board of Directors.
The audit reports of the Former Auditor on the Company’s financial statements for each of the two most recent fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Former Auditor’s opinions included an explanatory paragraph regarding the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
From the date of the Former Auditor’s appointment through the date of their dismissal on May 18, 2009, there were no disagreements between the Company and the Former Auditor on any matter listed under Item 304 Section (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, including accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Auditor would have caused the Former Auditor to make reference to the matter in its reports on our financial statements.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2009. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
20
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a – 15(f). However, the Company has not been required to file either an annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act for the prior fiscal year or an annual report with the Commission for the prior fiscal year.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements should they occur. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the control procedure may deteriorate.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
Item 9B. Other Information.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 28, 2010, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock within 60 days of February 28, 2010 for each stockholder.

Shares of Common Stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of February 28, 2010 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
MacroSolve, Inc
Tulsa, Oklahoma
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MacroSolve, Inc at December 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 30, 2009, on those statements included an explanatory paragraph that described a going concern uncertainty.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MacroSolve, Inc. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
MacroSolve, Inc.
Tulsa, Oklahoma
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of MacroSolve, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MacroSolve, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
MacroSolve, Inc. (the Company) was formed in January 1997. The Company is engaged in the design, delivery and integration of custom solutions for the application of mobile technology in business processes.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are represented by operating accounts or money market accounts maintained with insured financial institutions.
Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies
Accounts receivable - trade consist of amounts due from the sale of professional services, software and hardware. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company deems all amounts recorded as collectible and, thus has not provided an allowance for uncollectible amounts.
Property and Equipment
|
Property and equipment is recorded at cost when acquired. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is 3-7 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures, hardware and software. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over a 7 year estimated useful life. Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2009 and 2008:
|
2009
|
2008
|
|||||||
Hardware
|
$ | 102,455 | $ | 117,204 | ||||
Furniture and fixtures
|

Office equipment
|
23,786 | 23,786 | ||||||

Less - accumulated depreciation
|
151,683 | 152,060 | ||||||
$ | 106,640 | $ | 122,332 |
|
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.
|
Revenue Recognition
Sales of hardware are recognized upon delivery to the customer. Revenue from the licensing of software is recognized ratably over the license period.
Revenue generated from the provision of services, including consulting and integration services, cost of programming services, administrative services, and customer support services is recognized at the time the service is provided.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
December 31, 2009 and 2008
|
Unearned Income
|
Unearned income represents amounts received in advance for services to be provided to customers where the customer has not yet received the service.
|
|
Software Development Costs
|
|
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility and before the product is released for sale to customers are capitalized. These costs are amortized over three years and are reviewed for impairment at each period end. Amortization expense approximated $192,748 and $8,031 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
|
|
Realization of software development costs is dependent on the Company generating sufficient future profitability. Although the Company expects to fully realize the software development costs, that expectation could change in the near term if estimates of future profitability are not achieved.
|
Advertising
|
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Such costs totaled approximately $5,442 and $16,888 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.
|
|
Income Taxes
|
|
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109). SFAS No. 109 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
|
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted these standards and there has been no effect on its financial statements.

December 31, 2009 and 2008
|
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
The Company uses the Black-Sholes model for determining the value of the options. One of the factors required to compute the options price is volatility of the stock price. The Company’s own stock commenced public trading in August, 2008; however due to initially thin trading activity, management determined that the technology sector fund XLK and it’s standard deviation would continue to be used to provide the volatility factor required to compute the option value.
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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
Fair value of financial instruments
|
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s line of credit approximates fair value since the interest rate fluctuates periodically based on a floating interest rate. Management believes that the carrying value of the Company’s borrowings approximate fair value based on credit terms currently available for similar debt.
|
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 166”). SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 166 improves the comparability of information that a reporting entity provides regarding transfers of financial assets and the effects on its financial statements. SFAS No. 166 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that SFAS No. 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 168 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 168, which has no effect on the Company’s financial statements as it is for disclosure purposes only.
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We have adopted the new disclosure requirements in our financial statements and do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly. Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which clarifies application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for us beginning July 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have a material effect on our financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S PLAN
|
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
|
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,849,662 in 2009 which increased the accumulated deficit to $8,216,182 at December 31, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that adequate funding will be available to the Company to support its operations through continuing investments of equity by qualified investors, internally generated working capital and sale of the digiTicket product to private investors.
On July 20, 2009 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a syndicate of private investors to obtain up to $2.3 million financing through the issue of convertible secured debentures. As of December 31, 2009, the Company received $1.6 million in debenture financing and expects to borrow the remaining $700,000 in 2010.
3. NOTE RECEIVABLE
Note receivable at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consists of the following:

On July 20, 2009 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a syndicate of private investors to obtain up to $2.3 million financing through the issue of convertible secured debentures. Draws against the debentures occurred at closing and monthly thereafter, unless waived by Lead Investor, provided the Company meets monthly operational milestones agreed with Lead Investor. The debentures accrue interest at prime rate plus 5.0% (8.25% at December 31, 2009) to be paid quarterly in cash or in common stock at the Company’s option. The value per share of common stock issued for accrued interest is 85% of the volume weighted average closing price on the last five days of trading prior to the interest payment date, but not less than $0.10 per share. Accrued interest of $28,983 at December 31, 2009 will be settled by the issuance of 852,442 shares valued at $0.034.
|
||||||||
The Holder of the debenture can convert the principle and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.10 per share with thirty days notice.
|
||||||||
The Company also has the right to redeem the principal and accumulated interest of any outstanding debentures in cash or by issuance of Common Stock at a price of $0.10 per share, but no later than sixty months from the initial closing date. For each share that the debenture may convert into, the Holder will receive one warrant exercisable at the Holder’s option into one share of common stock. The Warrants expire on the earlier of five years from issuance or July 30, 2014. Until August 31, 2010, the Holders also have the right to acquire up to 50% of any securities issued or proposed to be issued other than in connection with the Debentures or Warrants.

The Plan also involves three separate incentive awards: (1) The Employee Bonus awards involve annual (or quarterly) payments of cash or restricted stock for attainment of goals. All employees will participate in the Employee Bonus program; (2) The Management Incentive Stock Option Plan awards involve annual issuance of stock options for attainment of goals. Only officers of the Company will participate in these awards; and, (3) The Senior Executive Incentive Stock Option Plan awards involve issuance of stock options for attainment of specific goals associated with public financing of the Corporation and public trading of its shares. Only the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer will participate in these awards.
|
|
At the end of the first quarter 2009, employees earned 110,000 shares of restricted stock under the Employee Bonus award plan. These shares will be issued on a three year vesting schedule to employees who remain with the Company as of the distribution dates in the following table. The Company valued these awards at $7,920 based on the net asset valuation method and will recognize the cost ratably over the three year vesting period.

The restrictions on these shares lapse annually over a three year period to employees who remain employed or do not voluntarily leave the Company as of the distribution dates in the following table. The Company valued these awards at $1,000 based on the fair market value which employees claimed in tax elections to recognize compensation at the date of grant.

Previous to going public, the company used the calculated value method to account for the options it issued in 2008. Under this method, a nonpublic entity that is unable to estimate the expected volatility of the price of its underlying share may measure awards based on a “calculated value,” which substitutes the volatility of an appropriate index for the volatility of the entity’s own share price. Although the Company became publicly traded in August, 2008, the stock was so thinly traded that management determined it was still unable to estimate the expected volatility of the stock price. In addition, management has not been able to identify a similar publicly held entity that can be used as a benchmark. Therefore, as a substitute for volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of the Technology Select Sector (XLK) index which is representative of the Company’s industry. The Company has used the historical closing values of that index to estimate volatility for the valuation of options in 2009 and 2008.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
December 31, 2009 and 2008

The calculated value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which values options based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date, the option strike price, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, the expected dividend payments, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is based on the vesting period and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Due to the exercise price of the options being greater than the estimated fair value of the underlying stock, calculation of the grant date calculated value of the options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model resulted in options granted in 2008 having no calculated value. Therefore, there was no stock-based compensation expense recognized in 2008 related to stock options. Stock based compensation expense of $25,010 was recognized in 2009 related to employee and director options.

The Board of Directors voted on September 11, 2009 to extend the expiration date of all outstanding options of employees and directors to September 11, 2014. In June 2008, by mutual consent, the officers of the corporation voluntarily agreed not to sell MacroSolve, Inc. stock prior to the approval of Corporate Profile, Inc. or July 1, 2010, whichever occurs first.
Stock Bonus Plan
Certain employees of the Company are participants in a stock bonus plan established in 2003 by the MacroSolve, Inc. Stock Bonus Trust Agreement (the Trust), and an entity under common control. The Trust provides for previously issued shares of Company common stock to be allocated and distributed as a deferred contingent bonus to the participants upon the occurrence of a liquidating event, as that term is defined in the trust document, or the termination of the trust which will occur in June 2010. Stock allocated to the participants remains in the Trust for the benefit of the Participant until such event occurs. In the event of termination of employment of the participants, any previously allocated stock reverts back to unallocated trust property. On August 15, 2008, the Trustees determined that a liquidating event occurred when the Company’s stock began trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The allocated shares were issued to the participating employees as restricted stock and the unamortized compensation expense related to those shares was recorded as stock based compensation expense in August 2008. As of December 31, 2009 there were no unallocated shares remaining in the trust.

Compensation expense for stock awards is recognized ratably over the implicit vesting period from date of grant to the termination of the trust. Compensation expense for stock awards is based upon the estimated market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The Company recognized stock based compensation expense related to these awards of $51,092, and $78,603, for the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
Incentive Stock Options
Company employees receive incentive stock options as a portion of their compensation packages. Management has continued its practice of issuing incentive stock options through the first quarter of 2009 when it began issuing restricted stock grants as compensation. Incentive stock options are vested immediately upon grant. Restricted stock awards are granted and after six months, the restriction lapses. The Company issued 193,851 incentive stock options to employees for salary differential compensation during 2009 with strike prices of $.53. The incentive options expire five years from the date of issuance and are forfeited if employment ceases. The Company granted 7,751,911 shares of restricted common stock in January 2010 to employees for compensation earned in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009 and valued these awards at $7,752 based on the fair market value which employees claimed in tax elections to recognize compensation at the date of grant.

COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
|
|
The Company adopted a practice prior to 2008 that provided for the issuance of warrants annually to any stockholder that provided credit directly to or guaranteed the debt of the Company. The credit facilities provided by stockholders in 2009 and 2008 did not include warrants.
|
|
The Company issued 400,000 warrants in 2009 and 931,514 warrants in 2008 each with $2.25 exercise price to investors who participated in the Private Placement Offering dated December 30, 2008. As discussed in footnote #6 above, the stock underlying these warrants is thinly traded; therefore, management used the calculated value method to determine that there is no cost to recognize in the issuance of these warrants.
|
|
The Most Favored Nations clause of the Private Placement Offering was triggered with the debenture financing in July 2009 resulting in the Company cancelling the original 1,331,514 warrants issued in 2009 and 2008 and reissuing 19,972,720 warrants with a $0.10 exercise price.
|
|
The investors in the debenture financing are awarded warrants with a $0.10 exercise price in an amount equal to their staged investment and with an expiration date of July 30, 2014. A total of 16,034.639 warrants were issued in 2009.
|
The Board of Directors passed resolution on September 11, 2011 granting a total of 5,712,214 warrants to employees, officers and directors to match the number of outstanding options held by each. Each warrant has a $0.10 exercise price is expires on September 11, 2014. At the same meeting, the Board approved the expiration date of all outstanding incentive options to September 11, 2014.
