NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF
OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going
concern”, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for at least
one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in
the normal course of operations.
Several conditions and events cast
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going
concern”. The Company has net loss of $106,314 the three months ended
March 31, 2009. The three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had net
income of $6,418, due to receipt of $50,000 from a non-operating contract. The
Company has losses of $14,281,379 since inception. At March 31, 2009
and December 31, 2008, the company had working capital deficits in the amounts
of $1,045,147 and $1,043,778, respectively.
The
Company has a liquidity problem and requires additional financing in order to
finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company is
actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various
third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained.
The Company’s future capital
requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to,
continued progress in developing its products, and market
penetration.
These financial statements do not
reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to
continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the
actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and
events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption
used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that
these actions will be successful.
If the Company were unable to continue
as a “going concern”, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the
carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported
revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
Organization and Basis of
Presentation
The Company was organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware in March 1989. The Company was in the
Development stage from 1989 to 1991. The Company was an operating
company from 1992 to March 8, 1993 when it filed petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Company was inactive until July 5, 1996
when the Company merged with Klever Kart, Inc. in a reverse merger and changed
its name to Klever Marketing, Inc. The Company has been in the development stage
since this time.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF
OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (continued)
Nature of
Business
The Company was formed for the purpose
of creating a vehicle to obtain capital, to file and acquire patents, to seek
out, investigate, develop, manufacture, market and distribute electronic
shopping cart based and in-store advertising, promotion and media content and
retail shopper services, which have potential for profit. The Company
is currently in the development stage and seeking new business
opportunities.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for
Klever Marketing, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally
accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the
preparation of the financial statements.
Cash
Equivalents
For the purpose of reporting cash
flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds
are not being held for investment purposes.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been
made in the 2008 financial statements to conform with the 2009 presentation.
These reclassifications are deemed immaterial to the financial statements taken
as a whole.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Effective
January 1, 2007, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. SFAS No. 157 provides a framework for the recognition,
valuation and measurement of fair value of balance sheet items that would equal
the price received to sell an asset or that would be paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the
measurement date. The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments,
including intangible assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 approximates their fair values due to the
short-term nature of these financial instruments. Management assigns no value to
intangible assets because there is no market participant interest in the
purchase of these assets or liabilities.
Earnings (Loss) Per
Share
The
computation of net earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period
presented. The Company utilizes the treasury stock method to
calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share, which considers potentially
issuable shares on common stock equivalents. In accordance with
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," common
stock options have a dilutive effect when the average market price of the common
stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the
options.
Common
stock equivalents for the company derive from two sources. Options,
granted with the issue of common stock, that when exercised are converted to
common stock and the potential common stock that may result from the application
of an anti-dilutive rights clause contained in the designation of rights for
preferred shares. The preferred share right allows an anti-dilution
formula to calculate the number of common shares that the Company would be
obligated to issue should the preferred share holders elect to convert their
preferred shares to common shares.
The
average market price of the Company's common stock during the three month period
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.03 and $0.03,
respectively. As such, potentially issuable commons shares related to
options were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the
period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 because their effect was
anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit
Risk
The Company has no significant
off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange
contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company
is currently under the development stage and did not generate revenues from the
operations during 2009 and 2008. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008
there were $0 accounts receivable and accordingly, no provision for allowance of
doubtful accounts was recorded.
Fixed
Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Fixed
asset have been fully depreciated and have a book value of
$0. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related
assets as follows:
Computer
equipment
|
3
years
|
Office
furniture and fixtures
|
5-10
years
|
Upon sale or other disposition of
property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or
amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in
the determination of income or loss.
Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls and
betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic useful
lives.
Depreciation expense was $0 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Intangibles
Intangibles associated with certain
technology agreements are amortized over 10 - 14 years.
Amortization expense was $0 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The intangibles are fully
amortized and have a book value of $0 at March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Stock
Options
Effective January 1, 2006, the company
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) requires
employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method.
Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the
fair value of the award. Prior to January 1, 2006, the company accounted for
awards granted to employees under its equity incentive plans under the intrinsic
value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and related
interpretations, and provided the required pro forma disclosures prescribed by
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS
No. 123), as amended.
Under the modified prospective method
of adoption for SFAS No. 123(R), the compensation cost recognized by the
company beginning on January 1, 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all
equity incentive awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation
cost for all equity incentive awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006,
based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 123(R). The company uses the straight-line attribution method
to recognize share-based compensation costs over the service period of the
award. Upon exercise, cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of stock options,
or upon vesting or forfeiture of restricted stock units, deferred tax assets for
options and restricted stock units with multiple vesting dates are eliminated
for each vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis as if each vesting period
was a separate award. To calculate the excess tax benefits available for use in
offsetting future tax shortfalls as of the date of implementation, the company
followed the alternative transition method discussed in FASB Staff Position
No. 123(R)-3.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company granted no stock
options.
NOTE 3 - INCOME
TAXES
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a
net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of
approximately $17,615,164 that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2029. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to
be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership
occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable
income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the
financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater
chance the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the
potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation
allowance of the same amount.

NOTE 5 - RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Research and development of the
Klever-Kart System began with the sole purpose of reducing thefts of shopping
carts. A voice-activated alarm system was envisioned. As
time and technology progressed, the present embodiment of the Klever-Kart System
evolved into a "product specific" point-of-purchase advertising system
consisting of an easily readable electronic display that attaches to any
shopping cart, a shelf mounted message sending unit that automatically sends
featured products' ad-message to the display and a host computer using
proprietary software.
During the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, the Company expended $0 for research and development of the
technology involved with its patents.

LITIGATION
On March 12, 2005 Klever Marketing was
summoned, and a complaint was filed in the Third District Court of the State of
Utah, by Dennis Shepard, one of the partners of S&C Medical. The
complaint contested Klever Marketing’s cancellation of an attempted deal with
S&C medical in March of 2001. On January 13, 2006, Klever
Marketing answered their complaint and filed a counter claim against S&C
Medical. During 2008, this litigation was settled out-of court,
resulting in a favorable disposition of the claim sought, and full and complete
resolution in this matter, also resulting in the return of 992,100 shares of
common stock to the Company’s treasury. These shares were
subsequently cancelled.
During
2006, Arthur Portugal, a former officer of the Company, filed a formal claim
asserted for approximately $125,000 for past due executive compensation
including stock options. Mr. Portugal previously filed a formal
administrative wage claim in California which is inactive and no longer
pending. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has accrued compensation
of $96,700 for Mr. Portugal as part of his employment agreement through June 30,
2006. The Company also has accrued notes payable of $11,598 due to
Mr. Portugal.
In
addition to the claim for Arthur Portugal, there are other claims for unpaid
salary and benefits due to former officers and employees that exist on the
balance sheet as accrued liabilities, Management has either completed
or is in the process of negotiating with a number of these claimants in order to
conclude agreements that would allow these liabilities to be settled in the form
of payment by cash, stock and stock options. As of March 31, 2009,
the total amount of claims for accrued but unpaid salary and benefits is
$460,182.

POSITIONS
Effective January 1, 2007, the company

Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”
(“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to
be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon
examination by taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 15 - UNCERTAIN TAX
POSITIONS (continued)
FIN48 did
not have a material impact on the company’s condensed consolidated financial
position and results of operations. At January 1, 2007, the company had no
liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of
related interest.
Interest costs related to unrecognized
tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as
a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. The Company
recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits the the
three months ended March 31, 2009. In many cases the
company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject
to examination by relevant tax authorities. With few exceptions, the company is
generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. The following describes
the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of March 31,
2009:

Item 2. Plan of
Operation
This
following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management
of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the
happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as
“may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”,
“probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of
those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements
specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on
the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be
reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and
no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those
forward-looking statements.
The
assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the
following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to
uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other
circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and
other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and
among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent
that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from
anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on
the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that
any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in
the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update
any such forward-looking statements.
We advise
anyone relying upon this report that any statement of earnings by the company
for the calendar year ending 2007 have been obtained solely through the
reduction, adjustment or termination of various debt obligations and does not in any way
reflect revenues to the company. The company continues as an inactive company
without revenues and with continuing substantial expenses, yielding a net loss
from operations if considered apart from reduction of debt. The company
continues to search for merger or acquisition candidates or possible entities to
whom it may sell its patent interest, but makes no warranty or assurance that it
will be successful in any of these endeavors. Further, there is no assurance
that the company can continue to operate without cash flows or revenues and
during the past year has relied exclusively upon interim capital financing for
its continuation. Based upon these and other related factors, the auditors for
the company will necessarily have to continue to express a reservation of the
company's ability to continue as a going concern."
BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT
Plan of
Operation
The
Company has made significant progress in the first quarter of 2009. A
new, revitalized Board of Directors was installed in January with the plan to
rapidly develop a technically improved, significantly lower cost wireless
shopping cart unit and expedite moving forward into production and installation
with a major retailer chain. Accompanying this upgraded unit is the
new Giving Cart™ and Retailer Chime Time ™ Rewards Program where retailers
incentivize consumers with hourly merchandise rewards announced on the shopping
cart unit as a way of “giving back” during these troubled economic
times.
The
company founder, Paul G. Begum has been reinstated on the Board and is the
current operating CEO. New staff has been brought in to execute the
company’s new strategy. Under Begum’s guidance, significant
improvements to the balance sheet have been achieved. Outstanding debt has
been reduced from $5.8 million to less than $450
thousand. Settlements have been reached with 12 of 14 creditors and
further reductions are currently being negotiated. Financing has been
obtained for an updated wireless portable shopping cart unit taking advantage of
improved technologies available since the last product
release. Significant progress has been made on this new
unit. The new prototype will be rolled out for commercialization at
the beginning of the third quarter. In addition to utilizing improved
technology, the Company has made software improvements in communications between
the server and the unit to allow rapid and efficient data updates that improve
the effectiveness of advertising programs – a significant source of expected
future revenues. The company has executed an agreement with a
Wall Street investment banking firm to provide professional public relations on
the Company’s successes and future profit potential. It will also
assist in raising equity capital to help advance the company into a major retail
market after the pilot testing program is validated and completed in
December.
Business
Development in the Next 12 Months
Significant
advances are expected to continue over the next 12 months. The pilot
test of the updated shopping cart unit with the Giving Cart™ and Retailer Chime
Time ™ Rewards Program is scheduled to begin in August followed by a second
pilot test in early 2010 with a major retailer in Southern
California. After validating our new enhanced system, an
implementation program with a major retail chain will be explored during the
remainder of 2010 to position the Company for rapid expansion.
25
Enhancements
will continue to be made to the unit – in hardware efficiency, software
development and the collection of shopper buying habit
information. The company will increase its marketing staff in the
fourth quarter of 2009 to help expand its market base.
Disclaimer
The
forward-looking statements herein have been compiled by our management on the
basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be
reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to
predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from
those forward-looking statements. The assumptions used represent estimates of
future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic,
legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification
and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and
selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the
exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the
outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and,
accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those
forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that any of the assumptions
relating to the forward-looking statements specified in this information release
are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking
statements.
Results of Operations - The
Company was inactive until July 5, 1996 when the Company merged with
Klever-Kart, Inc. in a reverse merger and changed its name to Klever Marketing,
Inc. The Company remains in the development stage. For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss of
$106,314. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had
a net income of 6,418. The income was a result of a non-operating payment of
$50,000 that permitted ongoing merger discussions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources -
The Company requires working capital principally to fund its proposed
research and development and operating expenses for which the Company has relied
on short-term borrowings and the issuance of restricted common
stock. There are no formal commitments from banks or other lending
sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowings, but the Company
has been able to borrow minimal additional working capital that has been
required to prevent the assets from wasting away. From time to time
in the past, required short-term borrowings have been obtained from a principal
shareholder or other related entities.
Cash
flows. Operating activities used cash of approximately $66,801 and
$4,078 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
respectively.
Investing
activities have used cash of approximately $0 and $0 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Investing activities primarily
represent purchases of patents relating to the electronic in-store
advertising.
Financing
activities provided cash of approximately $82,267 and $10,376 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Financing
activities primarily represent sales of the Company’s restricted stock, and
short term borrowings.
Factors That May Affect Future
Results - Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains information based
on management’s beliefs and forward-looking statements that involved a number of
risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. There can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ materially for the forward-looking statements as
a result of various factors, including but not limited to the
following:
The
foregoing statements are based upon management’s current
assumptions.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Not
applicable.
