PART I
Organization
MacroSolve, Inc. (“MacroSolve,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is an Oklahoma corporation formed on January 17, 1997, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. Following the sale of Illume Mobile division on July 31, 2012, we have focused on intellectual property licensing and enforcement of our patent in the mobile app market development space. We also offer consulting services related to mobile app development, marketing and financing of mobile app businesses. Our principal executive offices are located at 1717 South Boulder Ave. Ste. 700, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74119.
MacroSolve has historically been a mobile applications development company, focused on enterprise applications, and has been an entrepreneurial force for over fifteen years. Our legacy customers, technology and development teams were profitably sold to DecisionPoint Systems for cash and equity in July 2012. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company retained key executives and BOD members in order to take advantage of a new strategy, which uses the Company’s position as an experienced business advisory team for mobile app developers, fortified by intellectual property, which we believe can create substantial passive revenues and equity holdings. DecisionPoint Systems was the first client in the portfolio we are creating under our new strategy. We hope to develop strategic relationships with large mobile app marketing and development companies in order to grow our portfolio.
Since March 2011, we have been protecting our intellectual property rights against entities we have identified as infringing our patent claims. In October 2010, we received U.S. patent #7,822,816, which covers certain mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices, regardless of carrier and manufacturer. To date, complaints have been filed against 90 defendants and we are continuously identifying potential infringers with numerous potential infringers identified as of the date of this report. Out of these lawsuits, we have received 48 settlements in the form of non-exclusive, perpetual paid-up licenses for licensed products or royalties based on a percentage of revenue. Our objective in these enforcement actions is not to monopolize or prevent other companies from competing; it is to get a return on our investment in the intellectual property.
Currently, the Company has a web presence at ‘www.macrosolve.com’ and maintains multiple social media profiles.
Overview
Market Opportunities
The mobile technology market is very large and research indicates that it will continue to expand. As mobile applications supply and demand grow, so does our target market for consulting and patent licensing clients.
The mobile technology market is being driven by the value that mobile applications are providing to end users, their mobile devices and wireless networks. Evidenced by mobile analytics firm, AdEven, Apple will add 435,000 apps to the iOS App Store in 2013. According ABI Research, there will be 1.4 billion smartphones and 268 million tablets in active use this year, Research2Guidance cites that, the market for mobile application development services, including application creation, management, distribution and extension services, reached $20.5 billion in 2011 and will grow in value to $100 billion in 2015.
By 2015, mobile application development projects targeting smartphones and tablets will outnumber native PC projects by a ratio of 4-to-1, according to Gartner, Inc., an information technology research and advisory firm, with smartphones and tablets expected to represent more than 90% of the new net growth in device adoption in the next four years. In contrast, app development projects targeting PCs is anticipated to be on par with mobile development in 2012. Future adoption is expected to triple between the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2014, according to Gartner, and will result in the vast majority of client-side applications being mobile-only or mobile-first for these devices.
U.S. smartphone penetration is nearly at the halfway mark as of January 2012, according to the latest Nielsen data. The 48% of American adults with smartphones is up from 44% in the third quarter of 2011. It likely reflects a bump from the record 37 million iPhones that Apple sold worldwide in the fourth quarter.
According to the latest market study by ABI Research, users of enterprise B2E (business-to-employee) and B2C (business to customer) smartphone and media tablet mobile applications (apps) are forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 90 percent -- and exceed 830 million active worldwide users by 2016.
Driven by the now nearly ubiquitous presence of mobile devices including smart phones and tablets, consumers and businesses alike are demanding mobile apps that suit the increasing preference of mobile devices over PCs.
A plethora of portable wireless devices lend themselves to the use of mobile apps versus traditional websites for information exchange. Mobile apps are filling the need for immediate, easy to access, personalized information for consumers and businesses. A growing number of businesses need to create and manage mobile apps in order to cater to their customers, across nearly all industries and geographies.
Recent Developments
After the divestiture of Illume Mobile on July 31, 2012, the Company has focused on implementing a strategy towards debt elimination and profitability. A new business development and a pipeline of potential portfolio clients were established with an agreement with Fiksu, a global app marketing company based in Boston, MA. An agreement with MEDL (OTCBB: MEDL), a company in the creation, development, marketing and monetization of mobile apps, established a basis to provide MacroSolve’s intellectual property to thousands of mobile app developers. Also, Dri-Plan, an iPad app venture in the construction industry, was added to the portfolio, leveraging the ‘816’ patent and the Company’s advisory services.
On July 31, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, effective on the Closing Date, the Company sold substantially all of the assets relating to its Illume Mobile business, for a purchase price of $1,000,000, of which $250,000 was paid in cash and $750,000 was paid in the form of 617,284 shares of the Buyer’s common stock (valued at $1.215 per share based on the 20 day volume weighted average price). The Company has the right to receive an earn-out payment from the Buyer (the “Earn-Out Payment”) of up to $500,000 (of which 50% will be paid in cash, and 50% will be paid in shares of common stock of the Buyer, valued at the last closing price of the Buyer’s common stock on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date), within 30 days of the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, which will be determined as follows:
(a) If Net Revenue (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) attributable to the assets purchased under the Purchase Agreement, during the one year period commencing on the Closing Date) is $1,500,000 or less, the Earn-Out Payment will be $0;
(b) If Net Revenue is greater than $1,500,000 but less than $2,000,000, the Earn-Out Payment will be $100,000;
(c) If Net Revenue is at least $2,000,000 but less than $3,000,000, the Earn-Out Payment will be equal to the sum of (i) $100,000 plus (ii) 40% of the amount that the Net Revenue amount exceeds $2,000,000; and
(d) If Net Revenue is $3,000,000 or more, the Earn-Out Payment will be $500,000.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer entered into a patent license agreement (the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted the Buyer a non-exclusive license under a patent held by the Company pertaining to information collection using mobile computers (the “Licensed Patent”) to make, have made, sell, offer for sale or import any product or service which in the absence of the License Agreement would infringe at least one claim of the Licensed Patent (including specifically the Company’s ReForm™ Development Platform) in and into the United States and to practice the Licensed Methods (as defined in the License Agreement), in the United States, during the term of the Licensed Patent. The Buyer agreed to pay the Company a licensing fee/royalty payment of (i) 7.5% of Net Revenues (as defined in the License Agreement) received from the sale of Software Products (as defined in the License Agreement) and/or Licensed Methods, and (ii) 5% of Net Revenues from the sale of Custom Development Services (as defined in the License Agreement). The Company also granted the Buyer an option to purchase a non-exclusive perpetual license under the Licensed Patent at a purchase price of $500,000.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer entered into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement (the “Non-Competition Agreement”). Pursuant to the Non-Competition Agreement, for a period of three years commencing on the Closing Date, the Company agreed not to engage in activities in the United States and Canada competitive with the products sold by the Company’s Illume Mobile business as of July 31, 2012, and the Buyer agreed not to engage in activities in the United States and Canada competitive with the products sold by the Company (not related to the assets sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement). The Company also agreed, for a period of three years, commencing on the Closing Date, not to solicit or hire (unless such employee has been terminated by the Buyer) employees of the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed, for a period of three years commencing on the Closing Date, not to solicit employees of the Company (except as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement).
Accordingly, all operating results disclosed in this annual report only include the results from continuing operations, and exclude the results for the Illume Mobile business, which are presented as discontinued operations.
Growth Strategies
There are four foundational areas of concentration in the Company’s growth strategy:
·
|
Identify and support mobile app ventures with advisory services and patent protection, building a portfolio of market leading solutions which generate near term revenue and substantial earnings at liquidity for the Company.
|
·
|
Generate high margin potential, passive revenue by extending affordable patent protection to small and medium sized app developers through partnerships.
|
·
|
Continue enforcing current intellectual property.
|
·
|
Increase intellectual property portfolio via continuation filings.
|
Consulting Services
Our consulting services are focused on clients who have needs to begin or grow a mobile app business. We are advisors to the app entrepreneur on all aspects of starting and or expanding the venture. We do not engage in app development or app marketing but rely on partners in those industries for client referrals.
The consulting services that are offered include, but are not limited to:
●
|
Visioning and Concepting – Exploring an app idea, its problem to solve and potential business models;
|
●
|
Competitive Analysis – Thorough examination of the market place and funding sources growing the competition;
|
●
|

|
●
|
Management Team Evaluation and Augmentation – Review of strengths of management team along with growth plans. Virtual executive management team recommendations for interim periods.
|
In cases of near term liquidity or market leadership potential, we provide services at discounts and patent protection in exchange for equity.
Competition
A significant portion of the Company’s revenues come from patent license fees. By definition, a patent provides the owner the right to exclude others from making, using, selling offering for sale, or importing the patented invention for the term of the patent. Our objective in enforcing our patent is not to monopolize or prevent other companies from competing; it is to get a return on our investment in the intellectual property.
For our consulting business, many wireless carriers, application development technology leaders and major consulting companies provide mobile application consulting services. Our target market is small and medium sized businesses (“SMB”) where competitors such as AT&T, Adobe and Accenture do not have an advantage due to affordability and agility. We specifically target clients who do not have management in place who can grow a business around a mobile app, an underserved market which is cost-effective for us to serve in a way not feasible for large or national consultancies. Rocksauce Studios of Austin, Texas, a development partner with our former operating division, Illume Mobile, competes in this area by offering business plans tailored to specific mobile apps. Similar consulting services are offered by BigInnovations of Hobe Sound, Florida, MasterPlans of Portland, Oregon and SocializeMobilize of San Francisco, California.
The competitors in the SMB target market include technology companies and mobile marketing companies. Applico, Silicus, 1MobileSolution, Diaspark are some of the companies whose services are fundamentally centered on application design, technology integration and developers who create and manage the solution. Brandignity, App Marketing Consultants, Gentle Ninja, DotComInfoway, Fiksu, AppTap and Flurry are companies with core competencies in marketing and branding applications and can indirectly compete with us. In many cases, these competitors’ business models compliment ours and have the potential to be business development partners. This is the case with Fiksu, a company which has established a mutual client referral agreement with us.
Customers and Suppliers
Illume Mobile’s customers were transitioned to DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. after the July 31, 2012 transaction. MacroSolve current customers consist of licensees who hold non-exclusive, perpetual paid-up licenses for licensed products which are non-recurring revenues and consulting customers which represent less than 1% of 2012 revenues due to the late 2012 implementation of consulting services. We do not rely on any single supplier.
Intellectual Property
The Company 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. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 7,822,816 to our company. The patent, a significant intellectual property asset, further advances our position as a leader in the mobile solutions market. We are pursuing the monetization of this patent and its other IP assets. The patent covers certain mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices, regardless of carrier and manufacturer.
In September 2011, the Company filed a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 7,822,816 which is assigned number 12/910,706.
The Company 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.
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.
Employees
The Company has two full-time and one part-time employees that comprise its executive management and accounting team. We have no labor union contracts and believe relations with our employees are satisfactory.
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 have a history of losses which may continue and which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.
We incurred net losses of $1,776,045 and $2,534,414 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $14,450,239. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations; however, since divesting of Illume Mobile, we have been operationally cash flow positive. We cannot assure you that we can achieve profitability or sustain cash flow positive operations on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.
We received a modified report from our independent registered public accounting firm with an emphasis of matter paragraph for the year ended December 31, 2011 with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we did not receive a modified report for the year ended December 31, 2012, there is no assurance that we will receive a similar unmodified report for our year ended December 31, 2013.
In their report dated March 9, 2012, our independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we had incurred operating losses the last two years and had a substantial accumulated deficit. Although we incurred operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2012 and had a substantial accumulated deficit at December 31, 2012, we had a turnaround in profitability in the fourth quarter of 2012, made improvements in our financial ratios and had increased the amount of cash on hand at year end. As a result, in their report dated March 4, 2013, our independent registered public accounting firm did not express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, our independent registered public accounting firm may express doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the future.
If we are unable to obtain additional funding when needed, our business operations will be harmed and if we do obtain additional financing our then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.
Although we don’t believe we currently require additional funds to sustain our operations and institute our business plan, we have historically required additional funds to continue operations and may again in the future. We do not have any contracts or commitments for additional funding, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all, if needed. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing to finance a revised growth plan, we will likely be required to curtail such plans or cease our business operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
We may not be able to continue to monetize our intellectual property.
In October 2010, the Company received Patent #7,822,816 (the “816 patent”) which covers certain mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices, regardless of carrier and manufacturer. Efforts to monetize the 816 patent were initiated in March 2011 and the efforts continue to this date. During 2012, over $2 million in licensing revenues were generated representing approximately 77% of the Company’s revenues, including Illume Mobile discontinued operations, and approximately 79% of the Company’s revenues excluding discontinued operations. If the Company is not able to continue to enforce and monetize this patent, it will have a material adverse effect on its revenue, income and future growth plans.
Insufficient protection for our intellectual property rights may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or our ability to compete.
We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights in the United States through a combination of reliance on intellectual property laws (including copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws) as well as licensing and other agreements preventing the unauthorized disclosure and use of our intellectual property. Also, third parties may be able to successfully challenge, oppose, invalidate or circumvent our patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secret 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.
If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.
Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the United States. We have not filed for any patent protection rights outside the United States and many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights.
We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for mobile information collection systems across all wireless networks, smart phones, tablets, and rugged mobile devices. However, the patent process is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our technologies by obtaining and enforcing patents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwise may not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significant investments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and license our technologies either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and other international governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for technologies that prove successful as a matter of public policy regarding security concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by United States courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.
Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Third parties may also independently develop technologies similar to ours or design around any patents on our technologies.
In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO") and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patent applications concerning software inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovations exemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtain patents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.
Our success depends on our patents, patent applications that may be licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We may not be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize our products, by preventing the patentability of future products or services to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that may invalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our products and services.
In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures to protect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do not adequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others may independently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage we may have.
Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that such protections will prove inadequate.
We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive and time consuming.
The software and telecom industries have been characterized by extensive litigation in recent years regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and companies have employed intellectual property litigation to gain a competitive advantage. We may become subject to infringement claims or litigation arising out of patents and pending applications of our competitors, or additional interference proceedings declared by the PTO to determine the priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, PTO proceedings, and related legal and administrative proceedings are costly and time-consuming to pursue, and their outcome is uncertain. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our issued patent, to protect our trade secrets and know-how, or to determine the enforceability, scope, and validity of the proprietary rights of others. An adverse determination in litigation or interference proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to obtain licenses from third parties, or restrict or prevent us from selling our products in certain markets. Although patent and intellectual property disputes might be settled through licensing or similar arrangements, the costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial and could include our paying large fixed payments and ongoing royalties. Furthermore, the necessary licenses may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all.
Competitors may infringe our patents, and we may file infringement claims to counter infringement or unauthorized use. This can be expensive, particularly for a company of our size, and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover its technology. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly.
Also, a third party may assert that our patents are invalid and/or unenforceable. There are no unresolved communications, allegations, complaints or threats of litigation related to the possibility that our patents are invalid or unenforceable. Any litigation or claims against us, whether or not merited, may result in substantial costs, place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management and harm our reputation. An adverse decision in litigation could result in inadequate protection for our products and/or reduce the value of any license agreements we have with third parties.
Interference proceedings brought before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may be necessary to determine priority of invention with respect to our patents or patent applications. During an interference proceeding, it may be determined that we do not have priority of invention for one or more aspects in our patents or patent applications and could result in the invalidation in part or whole of a patent or could put a patent application at risk of not issuing. Even if successful, an interference proceeding may result in substantial costs and distraction to our management.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation or interference proceedings, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If investors perceive these results to be negative, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
Enforcement actions have a long litigation process, causing unpredictability of licensing revenues.
The litigation process with some defendants can be long, making it difficult to predict the quarter in which we may recognize revenue from licensing, if at all. The general length of the litigation process doesn’t necessarily increase our costs due to the contingent fee arrangement with the enforcement legal counsel. However, the costs involved in the enforcement, including travel, depositions, expert witness fees and the like, can vary significantly from period to period. If anticipated license fees for a particular quarter are not realized, our operating results may be adversely affected.
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;
|
|
●
|
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;
|
|
●
|
the growth in access to, and market acceptance of, new interactive technologies;
|
|
●
|
the effectiveness of our marketing strategy and efforts;
|
|
●
|
our industry reputation; and
|
|
●
|
general industry and economic conditions such as slowdowns in the computer or software markets or the economy.
|
We might experience significant errors or security flaws in our former 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 Illume Mobile software products sold prior to our divestiture of that division could affect the ability of such products to work with other hardware or software products and could adversely affect market acceptance of such products. Software product errors and security flaws in Illume Mobile products or services could expose us to product liability, performance and/or warranty claims as well as harm our reputation. We are not liable for errors or security flaws in Illume Mobile software products and services rendered after July 31, 2012. While we are liable for products and services rendered prior to that date, we are unaware of any reported problems or unresolved issues with our former customers.
If we fail to maintain or expand our relationships with strategic partners and indirect distribution channels our consulting revenues could decline.
Our consulting 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.
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 technologies 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 depend on key employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel.
The success of our business will continue to depend upon certain key executive management personnel who 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 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 will depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. 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.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock and its Market Value
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:
● | dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock and other forms of equity securities, which we expect to make in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies; | |
●
|
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 the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
|
|
●
|
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;
|
|
●
|
significant sales of our common stock;
|
|
●
|
other developments affecting us, our industry or our competitors; and
|
|
●
|
U.S. and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.
|
These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our Common Stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the future volatility of our share price.
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 under the symbol “MCVE” on the Pink Sheets since February 23, 2011 and prior to that, on the OTC Bulletin Board 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, for the year ended December 31, 2012, our stock traded less than 169,000 shares on average 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 2,516,200. Out of the 250 trading days in 2012, zero shares traded on 13 days. On the 237 days that trading occurred, 54 days traded 20,000 shares or less and only 66 days traded 200,000 shares or more. 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.
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.
Legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements may impact our future financial position and results of operations.
There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings that will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rule changes as well as proposed legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses. In addition, insurers are likely to increase premiums as a result of high claims rates over the past several years, which we expect will increase our premiums for insurance policies. Further, there could be changes in certain accounting rules. These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.
Efforts to comply with recently enacted changes in securities laws and regulations will increase our costs and require additional management resources.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on their internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, in the event we are no longer a smaller reporting company, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing our financial statements would be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Such attestation requirement by our independent registered public accounting firm would not be applicable to us until the report for the year ended December 31, 2013 at the earliest, if at all. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting or if our independent registered public accounting firm is required to, but is unable to provide us with a report as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our securities.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant.
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 SEC 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 prescribed by the SEC 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.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
None.
We maintain our principal office at 1717 South Boulder Ave., Tulsa, Oklahoma 74119. The current lease, which expires in September 2013, was assumed by DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. following their purchase of Illume Mobile on July 31, 2012. MacroSolve has been allowed to maintain its business office in their space without paying rent as it has facilitated and continues to facilitate the transition of Illume Mobile’s employees to DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. There is no assurance that this office space will continue to be offered rent-free and it is highly likely that the business office will be moved during 2013. We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current business requirements and that suitable and reasonably priced office space can be located at the appropriate time.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
We are currently a party to twenty-seven legal proceedings we initiated in the United States District Court Eastern District of Texas against twenty-eight alleged infringers of our United States Patent #7,822,816. In each action, we claimed that each of defendants, directly or through intermediaries, made, has made, used, imported, provided, supplied, distributed, sold, and/or offered for sale products and/or systems that infringed one or more claims of United States Patent #7,822,816. We asked the Court for relief, including permanent injunctions, damages and costs we incurred because of the infringing activities, including interest and attorney fees. Any resulting litigation, however, will be subject to inherent uncertainties and the favorable outcome of any litigation is inestimable.
A summary of the legal proceedings initiated by the Company that are still outstanding and the status of legal proceedings that have been resolved since last reported is as follows:

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Introduction
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in the discussion contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” and elsewhere in this report.
Business Overview
For this information please see Part 1, Item 1 “Business.”
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 (all references are to fiscal years).
Total Net Revenues: Total Net Revenues increased $1,584,000 or 113% to $2,988,000 in 2012 from $1,404,000 for 2011. Sources of revenue were derived from our IP licensing, software products, and services. Software products and licensing revenues represented the majority of the net revenues with an increase of $1,389,000, or 122%, for the period to $2,530,000 from $1,141,000 for the same period in 2011, which increase is primarily attributable to the monetization of the Company’s intellectual property. Services revenue showed an increase of $196,000, or 75% in 2012 to $459,000 from $263,000 for the same period in 2011. This was primarily due to an increase in custom mobile app development through July 31, 2012. The Company no longer develops custom mobile apps.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: Cost of revenues for 2012 increased $727,000, or 126%, from $579,000 in 2011 to $1,306,000 in 2012. Legal fees and costs associated with licenses sold pursuant intellectual property monetization were $1,030,000, or 79%, of the 2012 cost of sales. The resulting gross profit for 2012 of $1,683,000 was up $858,000, or 104%, over the gross profit for 2011 of $825,000. Gross profit margins were 56% and 59% for 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Operating expenses include marketing and sales expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses. Operating expenses increased by $886,000, or 41%, in 2012 to $3,025,000 from $2,139,000 in 2011. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $366,000 primarily due to the amortization for MoBiz360, an incomplete prototype website, including its one-time amortization of net capitalized development costs of $293,000 and amortization of Illume Mobile products, including DineInsight, ReForm iPhone, Blackberry and Android, through July 31, 2012 when the products were sold to DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. Marketing, sales and unabsorbed operating expenses increased by $645,000 primarily due to payroll and benefits through July 31, 2012 for 11 additional employees hired in 2012 to support growth. The G&A decrease of $126,000 is primarily due to a $186,000 decrease in corporate branding and awareness expenses in 2012, and a $125,000 decrease in 2012 financial advisory services offset by the $135,000 note receivable write down and $58,000 increase in salaries and benefits associated with a new CEO employed in August 2011.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations for 2012 of $1,343,000 was within $30,000 of the loss from operations in 2011 of $1,313,000.
Other Income and Expense: Total other expenses of $239,000 in 2013 were $29,000, or 11% less than the total of $268,000 in 2011. This decrease is due to lower interest expense and stock based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense, within other expenses, was $84,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $98,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $14,000, primarily due to three corporate executives not retained following the sale of Illume Mobile. Interest expense decreased $20,000, or 12% in 2012 to $151,000 from $171,000 in 2011. In 2012, interest expense consisted primarily of $6,000 paid to a financial institution, $29,000 accrued interest on shareholder notes payable and $112,000 in accrued interest on the 2012, 2011 and 2010 Debenture financing rounds.
Net Loss from Operations: Net loss of $1,581,000 in 2012 was within $1,000 the net loss in 2011 of $1,582,000 primarily due to the factors previously discussed.
There was no provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011 due to a valuation allowance of $5.3 million recorded for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had total current assets of $1,252,590 and total current liabilities of $674,062 for working capital of $578,528. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $659,204 and an accumulated deficit of $14,450,209 since operations commenced in 1997.
Although there was net loss of $1,776,045 in 2012, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's audit report for the year ended December 31, 2012, included herein, did not contain a qualified opinion or an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as it had in prior years, including 2011. The Company demonstrated profitability after the divestiture of Illume Mobile, improved its financial ratios, and management’s plan does not contemplate future debt or equity raises. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company continues as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis will be dependent upon its ability to create and market innovative products and services and sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations.
We have historically financed our operations through operating revenues, proceeds from bank loans, shareholder loans and sales of equity and debt securities to accredited investors. Since the divestiture of Illume Mobile and it’s deficit operation, the Company expects to generate sufficient working capital through operations to support its requirements without additional debt or equity financing.
2010 Debenture Financing
In November 2010, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2010 (the “2010 Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $925,000, which were used for general corporate purposes. The 2010 Debentures accrued interest at 2.0% per annum with interest payable at maturity on December 31, 2015. The 2010 Debentures may not be prepaid before the maturity date. Repayment of the 2010 Debentures may be made in cash or shares of Common Stock at the option of the Company.
The 2010 Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the Debentures, together with accrued but unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period before the notice of conversion. During 2011, eleven of the fifteen investors elected to convert a total of $725,000 Debenture Series 2010 plus Series B Warrants to Debenture Series 2011 and Series A Warrants simultaneously with their purchase of the new offering and three of the investors elected to convert a total of $150,000 debentures into 2,304,203 shares of common stock. During 2012, the remaining investor elected to convert a total of $50,000 Debenture Series 2010 plus Series B Warrants into 940,734 shares of common stock. Accrued interest of $1,285 was settled in full during 2012.
The 2010 Debenture investors also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class B Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2015. As of March 4, 2013, there were Class B Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 343,591 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging between $0.2618 and $0.3276.
2011 Debenture Financing
Between April and June 2011, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2011 (the “2011 Class A Debentures”) with Class A Warrants for gross proceeds of $950,000 and the conversion of $725,000 of 2010 Debentures into 2011 Debentures. Between September and October 2011, the Company sold Convertible Debentures Series 2011 (the “2011 Class B Debentures” and together with the 2011 Class A Debentures, the “2011 Debentures”) with Class B Warrants for gross proceeds of $700,000 and the conversion of $25,000 in accrued compensation.
The 2011 Debentures, which mature on December 31, 2016, earn interest at an annual rate of 12%, which will be paid quarterly exclusively from the Debenture Account which has been established with a financial institution for the deposit of 25% of the net funds the Company receives from licensing its intellectual property (the “Debenture Account”). Principal on the 2011 Debentures will be paid quarterly as the Debenture Account permits. As of March 4, 2013, the Debenture Account has a balance of $150,000.
The 2011 Class A Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the 2011 Class A Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period preceding the 2011 Class A Debenture investment. Any 2011 Class A Debentures that are outstanding on the maturity date that have not been repaid from the Debenture Account will be repaid by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at the conversion price. During 2012, fifteen of the sixteen investors elected to convert a total of $1,575,000,000 Debenture Series 2011 plus Series A Warrants into 16,831,553 shares of common stock. A total of $179,312 in accrued interest on the converted debentures was settled, $16,167 in cash and $163,145 with 870,543 shares of common stock. Accrued interest as of December 31, 2012 is $18,396. As of March 4, 2013, there is one $100,000 2011 Class A Debentures outstanding that is convertible into 1,587,302 shares of common stock.
The 2011 Class A Debenture investors also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class A Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2016. As of March 4, 2013, there were Class A Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 18,475,827 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging between $0.063 and $0.109.
The 2011 Class B Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the holder will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the face amount of the 2011 Class B Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which is the weighted average price for the five-day trading period preceding the 2011 Class B Debenture investment, however the conversion price shall not be less than ten cents per share at any time and the conversion price shall not be more than ten cents per share for investments made prior to October 1, 2011. Any 2011 Class B Debentures that are outstanding on the maturity date that have not been repaid from the Debenture Account will be repaid by the issuance of shares of Common Stock at the conversion price. During 2012, eighteen of the nineteen investors elected to convert a total of $846,161 Debenture Series 2011 plus Series B Warrants into 16,923,227 shares of common stock.

Other
During 2011, the Company borrowed $100,000 on its line of credit agreement with a financial institution which was guaranteed by a director. The line of credit agreement, which bore interest at the greater of 5.75% or prime rate plus 1.0% (4.25% at September 30, 2012), matured on September 30, 2012. The loan was repaid in October 2012 and was not renewed.
In May and June, 2012, three directors and one former director loaned the Company a total of $449,300 for working capital. In July 2012, three directors loaned a total of $50,000 for working capital. The notes were secured by the unencumbered 75% of patent settlement license fees secondary to the security interest of a financial institution and provided for accrued interest at 12% payable on maturity at September 30, 2012. The total accrued interest on shareholder loans, which matured September 30, 2012, was $25,381. Two directors were owed $9,000 for guaranteeing the advancing term loans in 2011 and 2012. The total amount due to three directors and one former director of $533,681, including accrued interest and loan guarantees, was rolled over into new notes dated September 30, 2012. The new notes are secured by the unencumbered 75% of patent settlement license fees and provide for accrued interest at 6% payable on maturity at January 1, 2015. The accrued interest at December 31, 2012 is $8,071.

Operating Activities:
Net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $595,000 which was a decrease in use of cash of $770,000 from $1,365,000 net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2011. Less cash was used in operating activities as a result of the July 2012 sale of Illume Mobile and its deficit operations.
Investing Activities:
Net cash provided by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $8,000, which was an increase of $620,000 from $613,000 net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to $250,000 cash proceeds from the sale of Illume Mobile and $346,000 less investment in Illume Mobile’s products, or $233,000 in 2012 compared to $580,000 in 2011. The Company no longer develops software products.
Financing Activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities was $973,000 in 2012 compared with $2,063,000 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $1,090,000. Cash provided by financing activities in 2012 was primarily from $500,000 net proceeds from sales of convertible debentures, $250,000 net proceeds from sales of common stock, and $363,000 net proceeds from shareholder offset by $100,000 repayment of the bank line of credit, $17,000 repayment of accrued debenture interest and $22,000 repayment of the State of Oklahoma Technology Business Finance Program loan.
Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations. Although the Company has been experiencing positive cash flow from operations since divesting of Illume Mobile, significant negative cash flow from operations may occur in the future. Although we don’t believe we currently require additional funds to sustain our operations and institute our business plan, we have historically required additional funds to continue operations and may again in the future. We have no current plans to raise additional funds; however, if we need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities in the future, 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 registered private placements of our securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on terms consistent with our past financings or satisfactory to use.
As of December 31, 2012, our common stock is the only class of stock outstanding and we have $816,752 in long-term debt that consists of $150,000 convertible secured debentures, $541,752 in long-term shareholder notes payable and accrued interest, and a $215,000 note from the State of Oklahoma Technology Business Finance Program, of which $90,000 is classified as current maturities of long-term debt.
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 Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported n the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenues from intellectual property licenses are recognized upon receipt. When intellectual property licenses are received under a contingent fee agreement with the law firm of Antonelli, Harrington & Thompson LLP, the applicable contingent legal expense is recorded as a cost of sale. In the event a non-exclusive intellectual property license is granted within the scope of a contracted project, ten percent (10%) of the contract amount is deemed to be payment for the license. Revenue from software product licensing is recognized ratably over the license period.
Solution services revenues, including advisory services, consist primarily of professional services contracted to third party customers or clients under contract for specific projects. Contracted projects that are fixed price are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue from contracted projects that are for provision of services is recognized at the time the service is provided. The Company no longer offers solutions services after the sale of Illume Mobile in July 2012.
Software Development Costs:
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-10, “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. The Company is not presently developing software.
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Compensation Costs”. ASC 718 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 issues Restricted Stock Awards which vest over six month in the case of salary differential awards and over three years in the case of bonus plans to employees. If the employee elects 83(b) tax treatment of the award, the fair market value is recognized as compensation in the month of the election.
Income Taxes:
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
In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” which makes technical corrections and improvements to a variety of topics in the Codification. The changes include source literature amendments, guidance clarification, reference corrections and relocated guidance. The ASU also includes amendments to the codification to reflect ASC 820’s fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the update which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, but does not expect it to have a material effect on our financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The Boards initially proposed a joint model describing when it is appropriate to offset financial assets and liabilities on the balance sheet that would have been close to the more restrictive IFRS approach, but instead decided to focus on developing common disclosure requirements. New disclosures are required to enable users of financial statements to understand significant quantitative differences in balance sheets prepared under US GAAP and IFRS related to the offsetting of financial instruments. The existing US GAAP guidance allowing balance sheet offsetting, including industry-specific guidance, remains unchanged. The Company does not offset financial instruments and therefore does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 to have a material effect on our financial statements. In January 2013, ASU 2013-013, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” was issued by the FASB. The ASU addresses offsetting derivative assets and liabilities and will affect comparative financial statements as disclosures will be applied retrospectively. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with no early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the affect but does not anticipate it having a material effect on our financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 deferring the effective date of ASU 2011-05. ASU 2022-05 amends the guidance in ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, the new guidance now requires entities to present all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the update but does not expect it have a material effect on our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement”. This guidance amends the application of the “highest and best use” concept to be used only in the measurement of fair value of nonfinancial assets, clarifies that the measurement of the fair value of equity-classified financial instruments should be performed from the perspective of a market participant who holds the instrument as an asset, clarifies that an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net risk exposure can measure those financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure to those risks, and clarifies when premiums and discounts should be taken into account when measuring fair value. The fair value disclosure requirements also were amended.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on management’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(c) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.
This annual report does not include an attestation report by Hood & Associates CPAs, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, our management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our capital stock outstanding on February 28, 2013. On February 28, 2013, there were 182,163,869 shares of our common stock outstanding. To calculate a stockholder's percentage of beneficial ownership, we include in the numerator and denominator the common stock outstanding and all shares of our common stock issuable to that person in the event of the exercise of outstanding options and other derivative securities owned by that person which are exercisable within 60 days of February 28, 2013. Common stock options and derivative securities held by other stockholders are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership among our stockholders may differ. Unless we have indicated otherwise, each person named in the table below has sole voting power and investment power for the shares listed opposite such person's name.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MacroSolve, Inc. at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years 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.
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, 2012 and 2011, 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Nature of Operations
MacroSolve, Inc. is an Oklahoma corporation formed on January 17, 1997, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. We are focused on intellectual property licensing and enforcement of our patent in the mobile app market development space. We also offer consulting services related to mobile app development, marketing and financing of mobile app businesses. In addition, until July 31, 2012, we conducted business as Illume Mobile, engaged in the design, delivery and integration of custom solutions for the application of mobile technology in business processes.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Segment Reporting
The Company has determined it has one reporting unit.
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 and software licenses. 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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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. A majority of the company’s fixed assets were associated with Illume Mobile, a division which was sold to DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. on July 31, 2012. Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue
Revenues from intellectual property licenses are recognized upon receipt. When intellectual property licenses are received under a contingent fee agreement with the law firm of Antonelli, Harrington & Thompson LLP, the applicable contingent legal expense is recorded as a cost of sale. In the event a non-exclusive intellectual property license is granted within the scope of a contracted project, ten percent (10%) of the contract amount is deemed to be payment for the license. Revenue from software product licensing is recognized ratably over the license period. Unearned income associated with Illume Mobile contracts of $36,971 was transferred to DecisionPoint Systems as part of the Illume Mobile asset sale in July 2012. The $500,000 in unearned income at December 31, 2012 consists of the total potential earn-out payment from DecisionPoint Systems from the sale of Illume Mobile assets.
Solution services revenues, including advisory services, consist primarily of professional services contracted to third party customers or clients under contract for specific projects. Contracted projects that are fixed price are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue from contracted projects that are for provision of services is recognized at the time the service is provided. The Company no longer offers solutions services after the sale of Illume Mobile in July 2012.
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20, “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. The Company sold a total of $1,213,550 in gross capitalized software development costs and associated $194,070 in accumulated amortization, or a net of $1,019,480, to DecisionPoint Systems in July 2012. Amortization expense in 2012 totaled $500,910 and consisted of $161,037 in Illume Mobile development costs, $2,814 in patent costs and $337,059 related to Mobiz360, including a one-time amortization of $293,000 net capitalized development costs, In May 2012, MoBiz360, an incomplete prototype website marketplace, was conveyed to Clint Parr, our former president and CEO, as consideration for an undetermined equity interest in Mr. Parr’s new company. As of December 31, 2012, Mr. Parr’s new company is still not operational. At such time as it becomes operational, we will record the value of our investment associated with the conveyance of MoBiz360. Amortization expense in 2011 totaled $215,845 and consisted of $213,031 in Illume Mobile development costs and $2,814 in patent costs. The Company is not presently developing software.
Income Taxes Costs
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing ASC 740, “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.
MACROSOLVE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 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 convertible debentures approximates fair value since the interest rate is stated in the instrument. 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 ASC 360-10-35, “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, 2012 and 2011.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting
In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” which makes technical corrections and improvements to a variety of topics in the Codification. The changes include source literature amendments, guidance clarification, reference corrections and relocated guidance. The ASU also includes amendments to the codification to reflect ASC 820’s fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the update which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after 15 December 2012, but does not expect it to have a material effect on our financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The Boards initially proposed a joint model describing when it is appropriate to offset financial assets and liabilities on the balance sheet that would have been close to the more restrictive IFRS approach, but instead decided to focus on developing common disclosure requirements. New disclosures are required to enable users of financial statements to understand significant quantitative differences in balance sheets prepared under US GAAP and IFRS related to the offsetting of financial instruments. The existing US GAAP guidance allowing balance sheet offsetting, including industry-specific guidance, remains unchanged. The Company does not offset financial instruments and therefore does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 to have a material effect on our financial statements. In January 2013, ASU 2013-013, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” was issued by the FASB. The ASU addresses offsetting derivative assets and liabilities and will affect comparative financial statements as disclosures will be applied retrospectively. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with no early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the affect but does not anticipate it having a material effect on our financial statements.
MACROSOLVE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 deferring the effective date of ASU 2011-05. ASU 2022-05 amends the guidance in ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, the new guidance now requires entities to present all non owner changes in stockholders’ equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the update but does not expect it have a material effect on our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement”. This guidance amends the application of the “highest and best use” concept to be used only in the measurement of fair value of nonfinancial assets, clarifies that the measurement of the fair value of equity-classified financial instruments should be performed from the perspective of a market participant who holds the instrument as an asset, clarifies that an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net risk exposure can measure those financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure to those risks, and clarifies when premiums and discounts should be taken into account when measuring fair value. The fair value disclosure requirements also were amended.

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 $1,776,045 in 2012 which increased the accumulated deficit to $14,450,239 at December 31, 2012. Although there was a loss in 2012, the audit report did not contain a qualified opinion or modification regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the divestiture of Illume Mobile and the resulting return to cash-flow positive operations in the fourth quarter of 2012, the improvement in its financial ratios and the cash balance at year end has removed prior years’ substantial doubt of continuing operations. The Company expects to generate sufficient working capital through operations to support its requirements without additional debt or equity financing.

NOTE RECEIVABLE
|
Note receivable at December 31, 2012 and 2011 consist of the following: | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||
Convertible promissory note with a customer negotiated as part of a strategic alliance. Under the Master Services Agreement, customer may borrow up to $150,000 to finance development work with interest accrued monthly at prime rate plus 5% (8.25% at September 30, 2009), due June 30, 2011. The Company has written the note off as uncollectible due to collection costs, its change in focus and the unavailability of key personnel due to the sale of Illume Mobile in July 2012. | $ | - | $ | 135,577 |

INVESTMENT IN DECISIONPOINT SYSTEMS, INC.
|
As further described in Note #16, on July 31, 2012, the Company sold the Illume Mobile assets and operations to DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (DPSI) for $250,000 cash and 617,284 shares of DPSI stock valued at $1.215 per share or a total of $750,000. In accordance with ASU 2011-05, the stock is classified as available-for-sale equity and the unrealized market gains or losses are recorded as Other Comprehensive Income. Due to the volatility and thin trading of DPSI shares, the Company has determined that the fair market value on the measurement date will be computed from the volume-weighted average trading price for the entire quarter. The unrealized loss of the investment consists of the following:

DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE
|
Notes payable at December 31, 2012 and 2011 consist of the following: | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||
On February 17, 2012, the Company began offering the Putable-Callable Debenture Series 2012 and Series C Warrants to raise working capital for the expansion of its marketing of products and services. The debentures bear interest at 8% per annum. Each debenture is accompanied by a warrant to purchase, no later than December 31, 2017, common stock equal to 50% of the then unpaid principal amount of the debenture. On that date, the Company sold $500,000 of debentures to four directors who converted $320,000 of short term promissory notes and invested $180,000 in new proceeds. On April 23, 2012, the directors converted $500,000 of debentures and $7,243 in accrued interest to 5,790,452 shares of restricted common stock and 2,500,000 Series C warrants were cancelled. | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
On July 17, 2011, the Company began offering its Convertible Debentures Series 2011 and Series B Warrants to purchase common stock to accredited investors. The Debentures mature on December 31, 2016. The Company has not established a minimum or maximum offering size; its goal is $1,000,000 in aggregate subscriptions exclusive of the exchange of previously issued debentures. The $725,000 proceeds from this offering have been used by the Company for working capital to increase its market share from the sale of mobile apps in dining and other vertical markets and may include working capital for acquired companies. On December 31, 2011, three Directors converted a total of $171,161 in short term promissory notes to the offering. The offering was closed as of December 31, 2011. |
MACROSOLVE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The 2011 Debentures earn interest at the annual rate of 12% which will be paid quarterly exclusively from the Debenture Account at management’s discretion. Principal on the Debentures will be prepaid quarterly as the Debenture Account permits. The Debenture Account will be set up with a financial institution for the deposit of 25% of any recovery it receives from any judgment or settlement in any infringement case or claim it prosecutes. The Debentures may be converted to common stock by the holder into the number of shares that could have been purchased with 200% of the principal amount of the Debenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest and the shares valued using the weighted average price for a five-day trading period preceding the Debenture investment provided however, that the conversion price shall not be less than ten cents per share at any time and the conversion price shall not be more than ten cents per share for investments made prior to October 1, 2011. By resolution of the Board on December 16, 2011, the ten cent conversion price per share was extended to investments made after October 1, 2011.

At the end of the second quarter 2010, employees were granted 941,500 shares of registered compensation shares under the 2010 Employee Bonus award plan. These shares will be distributed on a three year vesting schedule to employees who remain with the Company as of the distribution dates. The Company valued these awards at $942 which was the amount of compensation employees elected to take within 30 days of the grant on 83(b) elections filed with the Internal Revenue Service. The restricted stock award agreements bear a substantial risk of forfeiture by the employee in the event of their voluntary termination. Since grant, 213,166 shares have been forfeited by terminated employees. On July 12, 2012, 228,585 shares vested to twelve employees. On July 12, 2011, 271,168 shares vested to fourteen employees. Remaining unvested shares are 228,581 which will vest on July 12, 2013.

Prior to going public, the company used the calculated value method to account for the options. 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 has been subject to significant swings in trading volume and periods of thin trading; therefore, management determined it was 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 2012 and 2011.
|
MACROSOLVE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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. Stock based compensation expense of $-0- and $-0- was recognized in 2012 and 2011 respectively for director options. Stock based compensation expense of $-0- was recognized in 2012 and 2011 for employee options based on the Black Scholes computation.
Stock Based Compensation
Certain executive and management employees receive salary compensation in the form of restricted stock awards which vest over six months and which bear a substantial risk of forfeiture in the event of voluntary termination. 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. When the employee receiving the grant makes an 83(b) election, the compensation expense is recognized in the month of the election for the fair market value at the time of the election. In 2012 and 2011, all employees receiving stock awards elected 83(b) tax treatment. Because of low trading volumes and the history of operating losses, employees elected between $.01 - $.001 per share for restricted awards issued in 2012 and 2011. The Company granted 8,965,068 shares of restricted common stock in 2012 to employees and directors for compensation earned in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first three quarters of 2012 and valued the employee awards at $25,711 based on the fair market value which employees claimed in tax elections to recognize compensation at the date of the grant. The Company recognized stock based compensation expense related to all equity awards, including salary differential stock awards, stock bonus plans, and Board of Director compensation, totaling $97,085, and $95,123, for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Incentive Stock Options
In 2012, the Company granted 27,700,000 and cancelled 17,540,000 options to directors, manager and employees under the 2011 MacroSolve, Inc. Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan. A net of 10,000,000 director and management bonus options vest ratably in three increments based on the Company stock trading at $.25, $.40 and $.60 per share over five trading days at the price of $.125, $.25 and $.40, respectively. The 160,000 options issued to directors for annual board service vest at issuance with an exercise price of $.10. The incentive options expire five years from the date of issuance and are forfeited if employment ceases.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS PURSUANT TO THE SALE OF ILLUME MOBILE ASSETS
|
In July 2012, the Company began negotiations with DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. to sell the Illume Mobile assets and operations. On July 31, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), MacroSolve, Inc. (the "Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, effective on the Closing Date, the Company sold substantially all of the assets relating to its Illume Mobile business, for a purchase price of $1,000,000, of which $250,000 was paid in cash and $750,000 was paid in the form of 617,284 shares of the Buyer’s common stock (valued at $1.215 per share based on the 20 day volume weighted average price agreed between the parties).
The Company has the right to receive an earn-out payment from the Buyer (the “Earn-Out Payment”) of up to $500,000 (of which 50% will be paid in cash, and 50% will be paid in shares of common stock of the Buyer, valued at the last closing price of the Buyer’s common stock on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date). The Earn-Out Payment is incremental based upon net revenues. If net revenue is $3,000,000 or more, the entire Earn-Out Payment will be due. The Company has determined that the $3,000,000 net revenue is feasible and has recorded the total potential earn-out as a $500,000 account receivable offset by an equal amount of deferred revenue.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer entered into a patent license agreement (the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted the Buyer a non-exclusive license under a patent held by the Company pertaining to information collection using mobile computers (the “Licensed Patent”) to make, have made, sell, offer for sale or import any product or service which in the absence of the License Agreement would infringe at least one claim of the Licensed Patent (including specifically the Company’s ReForm™ Development Platform) in and into the United States and to practice the Licensed Methods (as defined in the License Agreement), in the United States, during the term of the Licensed Patent. The Buyer agreed to pay the Company a licensing fee/royalty payment of (i) 7.5% of Net Revenues (as defined in the License Agreement) received from the sale of Software Products (as defined in the License Agreement) and/or Licensed Methods, and (ii) 5% of Net Revenues from the sale of Custom Development Services (as defined in the License Agreement). The Company also granted the Buyer an option to purchase a non-exclusive perpetual license under the Licensed Patent at a purchase price of $500,000. The Company has received approximately $18,656 in royalties through December 31, 2012.
