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.
Based on the Buyer’s reported revenues to date, the Company has estimated that insufficient revenues will be generated to achieve the Earn-Out Payment. As a result, the Company has reversed the previously accrued total potential earn-out of $500,000 receivable asset 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 accrued an estimated $10,243 in expected first quarter 2013 royalties.
12
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).

Business Overview
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. We are focused on intellectual property licensing, enforcement of our patent in the mobile app space and other patent services. We also offer consulting and mentoring services to small and medium sized mobile software companies, including strategies for mobile app development, commercialization and financing of mobile apps. Due to the small number of employees, we no longer maintain a physical workspace, but allow our employees to work remotely. Our mailing address is 9521-B Riverside Parkway, #134, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74137.
Since March 2011, we have been protecting our intellectual property rights against entities we have identified as potentially infringing our rights. In October 2010, we received U.S. patent #7,822,816, which addresses 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 50 settlements in the form of non-exclusive, perpetual paid-up licenses for licensed products or for royalties based on a percentage of revenue.
Recent Transactions
As announced on March 12, 2013, the Company finalized an agreement with MEDL Mobile Holdings, Inc. (“MEDL”), a pioneer in the creation, development, marketing and monetization of mobile apps. MEDL has the right to grant a license to the Company’s ‘816 patent to its app development clients on a ‘per install’ basis. The Company will receive a percentage of the passive revenues which are subject to MEDL achieving minimum performance goals, which start in the third quarter of 2013.
As previously reported, 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.
14
Based on the Buyer’s reported revenues to date, the Company has determined that the milestones are not likely to be reached to achieve the Earn-Out Payment. As a result, the Company has reversed the previously accrued total potential earn-out of $500,000 receivable asset offset by an equal amount of deferred revenue.
Accordingly, all operating results disclosed in this quarterly report only include the results from continuing operations, and exclude the results for the Illume Mobile business, which are presented as discontinued operations.
Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 2013 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2012 (all references are to the Quarter Ended March 31)
Net Revenues: Net revenues decreased $33,000 or 5%, to $666,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $699,000 for the same period in 2012. Sources of revenue were derived primarily from our IP licensing activities which are subject to fluctuation due to the nature of legal proceedings. The Company began offering consulting services late in the fourth quarter of 2012. Recognized consulting revenues were less than 1% of the total first quarter 2013 revenues as the Company begins to build its services offerings and prospects list.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: Cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $4,000, or 1%, from $283,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $279,000 in 2013. Costs include contingent legal fees and other costs associated with enforcing our intellectual property. The resulting gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $387,000 was lower by $29,000, or 7%, than the gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $416,000. Gross profit margins were 58% and 60% for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses primarily consist of selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $148,000 of 49%, to $155,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $303,000 for the same period in 2012, adjusted for the discontinuance of the Illume Mobile operations. The primary reason for this decrease was lower financial advisory services, which decreased $132,000 as the result of payments, both in cash and in stock, for investor relations in 2012 that were not incurred in 2013. The remaining $16,000 decrease is attributable to lower legal fees which were paid in 2012 for fundraising and HR matters.
Income from Operations: Income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $232,000 was up $119,000, or 105%, from the income from operations in 2012 of $113,000, primarily due to the reduction in investor relations expenses offset by the reduction in margin attributable to IP licensing.
Other Income and Expense: Total other expenses of $14,000 in the first quarter of 2013 decreased $106,000, or 88%, over the total of $120,000 in 2012. This decrease is due to a $71,000 decrease in interest expense associated with debentures that were converted to stock in 2012 and a $34,000 decrease in stock based compensation due to the reduction in executive management staff following the sale of Illume Mobile.
Net Income: Net income of $218,000 as of March 31, 2013 was up $225,000, or 3,214%, from the net loss, as adjusted for the sale of Illume Mobile, for the same quarter in 2012 of $7,000, primarily as a result of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had total current assets of $1,056,035 and total current liabilities of $270,379 resulting in working capital of $785,656. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $702,632 and an accumulated deficit of $14,232,060 since operations commenced in 1997.
Although there was a net loss in 2012, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's audit report for the year ended December 31, 2012 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. 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.
15
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 2012 divestiture of Illume Mobile and its deficit operation, the Company expects to generate sufficient working capital through operations to support its requirements without additional debt or equity financing.
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. Principal on the 2011 Debentures will be paid quarterly at management’s discretion and as the Debenture Account permits. A Debenture Account 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 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. As of March 31, 2013, there was $100,000 principal amount of 2011 Class A Debentures outstanding that were convertible into approximately 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 31, 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. As of March 31, 2013, there were $50,000 principal amount of 2011 Class B Debentures outstanding that were convertible into approximately 1,000,000 shares of common stock.
The investors in 2011 Class B Debentures also received common stock purchase warrants, designated by the Company as Class B Warrants, which expire on December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2013, there were Class B Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 8,961,614 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.10.
Other
In May and June 2012, four directors 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 the four directors 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 March 31, 2013 is $15,967.
16
On July 31, 2012, the assets of the Illume Mobile operations were sold to DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. Management believes that the divestiture of this cash-dilutive operation and the significant scale-back of overhead will enable the Company to pursue its patent licensing strategy from internally generated funds as the Company is now cash flow positive.
To lower its required cash expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 2,331,882 shares of common stock to directors and management for compensation for services rendered in the fourth quarter of 2012. At its March 25, 2013 meeting, the Board of Directors approved payment of its $16,000 annual compensation in cash and increasing the cash portion of CEO James McGill’s monthly salary from $1,000 to $4,000 per month retroactive to January 1, 2013.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $73,000, an increase of $443,000 from the $370,000 cash used in operating activities in the same quarter of 2012. Less cash was used in operating activities, allowing the Company to operate profitably, as a result of the July 2012 sale of Illume Mobile and its deficit operations and a decrease in the Company’s remaining overhead.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $7,000, a decrease of $118,000 from the $125,000 cash used in investing activities during the same period in 2012, which decrease was primarily due to the $117,000 in software development costs expended in 2012.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $23,000 compared with $546,000 provided by financing activities for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $569,000. In the first three months of 2012, the Company raised $555,000 in debenture financing, net shareholder loans and sale of stock to accredited investors, whereas no new financing occurred in 2013. The Company is repaying $7,500 per month on its refundable award from the State of Oklahoma Technology Business Finance Program. The unsecured $150,000 note, which originated in 2003, was to be repaid in five years at two times the amount of the award or less if paid earlier. Interest was imputed at 14.27% and the full $300,000 became payable in September 2007. Monthly payments were suspended in October 2008 and resumed in October 2012 in the amount of $7,500 per month. The loan proceeds were used solely for sales and marketing expenses. As of March 31, 2013, $192,500 of principal and interest remained due and payable on the note.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:
Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of patent licenses and consulting services. 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. In many instances, the Company is extending trade terms to customers who have agreed to acquire IP licenses as a result of settlement agreements. At the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and at fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Company deems all trade receivable amounts recorded as collectible and, thus has not provided an allowance for uncollectible amounts.
17
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods applied to individual property items based on estimated useful lives.
Revenue Recognition and Unearned Income:
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, and the applicable contingent legal expense is recorded as a cost of sale. The $500,000 in unearned income at December 31, 2012 consisted of the total potential earn-out payment from DecisionPoint Systems from the sale of Illume Mobile assets. The Company reversed the $500,000 income accrual as of March 31, 2013 due to uncertainty that the earn-out payment would be achieved.
Consulting services revenues consist primarily of advisory services to third party customers 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.
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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
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.
Effect of 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.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, 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.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
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 22 legal proceedings we initiated in the United States District Court Eastern District of Texas against 22 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.
