NOTE 1 – BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Klever Marketing, Inc. (the “Company”) was created to develop, market and distribute an electronic shopping cart device for in-store advertising, promotion and media content and retail shopper services and has not commenced its planned principal operations. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of developing various applications of its electronic shopping cart concept including its mobile application for smart phones which the Company is currently testing in retail supermarkets, obtaining patents and trademarks related to its technology, and raising capital. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failing to secure additional funding needed to finalize development of the Company’s technology and to commercialize its product in a profitable manner.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Earnings Per Common Share

The computations of basic and fully diluted earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the financial statements, plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible preferred stock. For the periods where the Company incurred a net loss, common stock equivalents related to the conversion of preferred rights have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.   

Following is a reconciliation of the income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

Capitalized Software Development

The Company capitalizes software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility has been obtained until the product is generally released to customers. The Company achieved technological feasibility with regard to its mobile phone technology during the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company had $494,140 and $422,330 of capitalized software development costs as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Given the Company’s history of losses, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance with respect to any deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the uncertain tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. Our uncertain tax positions relate to certain state tax issues for which we have recorded an estimated current liability for in the accompanying financial statements at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit through September 30, 2014 except for accruing additional interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of liability for unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under the Federal tax laws.

Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Utah jurisdictions. Tax years 2010 to current remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities.

From inception through September 30, 2014, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, had no federal income tax liability. To date, the Company has incurred the statutory minimum tax liability for state taxes and has accrued for its uncertain state tax position described above. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forwards has been fully reserved. The cumulative federal net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $15.5 million as of September 30, 2014, and will expire in the years 2018 through 2034. The cumulative state net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $4.9 million as of September 30, 2014, and will expire in the years 2017 through 2029.

Research and Development

The Company continues to develop its technology which facilitates the use of in-store advertising and coupon services through various technologies. As time and technology have progressed, the system being developed by the Company comprises mobile and other state of the art technology that facilitates retailers and package good companies to provide "product specific" point-of-purchase advertising to its customers using proprietary software. The Company is currently developing mobile smart phone technology that will provide similar functionality to the Klever-Kart System.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred costs of $6,077 and $7,462 respectively, for research and development of its technologies.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The FASB provides the framework for measuring fair value. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for cash and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or earlier if allowed. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Adoption of ASU 2014-10 Development Stage Entities

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2014-10 Development Stage Entities. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove the definition of a development stage entity from Topic 915 Development Stage Entities, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. The Company may early adopt ASU 2014-10 for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued.

The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2014. The Company’s financial statements have been impacted by the adoption of this ASU mainly by the removal of inception-to-date information in the Company’s statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity.

ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company’s current financial statements will not be affected by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 as the Company has not recognized revenues.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company generated a net loss of $122,123 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company did not generate any revenue from product sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s current and total liabilities exceeded its current assets by $534,673. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $14,267 of cash available on hand.

The Company will require additional funding during the next twelve months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve its strategic objectives. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital principally through private placement offerings and is targeting strategic partners in an effort to finalize the development of its products and begin generating revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through calendar year 2014. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

NOTE 5 – DEBT FORGIVENESS

2014 Debt Forgiveness

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company wrote off $10,609 of obligations where the statute of limitations was believed to have run. It should be noted the statute of limitations is an affirmative defense that can only be definitively determined applicable by judicial ruling. However, the Company is reasonably certain based upon review by its legal counsel that a statute of limitations defense would bar the debts deemed discharged herein by the statute.

2013 Debt Forgiveness

The Company had certain claims against it for unpaid salary and benefits due to former officers and employees that existed on the balance sheet as accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, management worked to reduce the Company’s total liabilities. As a result, the Company settled certain debt obligations using stock, cash, and certain obligations where the statute of limitations was believed to have run as described below.

Debts Settled for Stock via Escrow Account

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with an existing shareholder, four creditors, and two investors whereby the Company contributed 1,200,000 shares of its restricted common stock, the existing shareholder contributed 1,000,000 free trading shares of the Company’s common stock, the creditors contributed the rights to $549,721 of outstanding debts owed by the Company, and two third party investors contributed $47,000 of cash into an escrow account held by the Company’s stock transfer agent. In exchange for the contributions made by each party, the existing shareholder received 1,200,000 shares of restricted common stock, the four creditors received 450,000 shares of free trading common stock valued at $13,500, the third party investors received 550,000 shares of the Company’s free trading common stock, and the Company received $47,000 in cash and settlement of $549,721 in outstanding debts resulting in a gain on Forgiveness of Debt totaling $536,221.

Debts Settled for Cash

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into settlement agreements with three creditors whereby the Company made cash payments totaling $25,450 in exchange for full settlement of $226,432 of outstanding liabilities. The Company recorded a gain on Forgiveness of Debt totaling $200,982 in connection with these transactions.

Debts Where Statute of Limitations Has Most Likely Barred Such Claims

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company also wrote off $81,504 of obligations where the statute of limitations was believed to have run. It should be noted the statute of limitations is an affirmative defense that can only be definitively determined applicable by judicial ruling. However, the Company is reasonably certain based upon review by its legal counsel that a statute of limitations defense would bar the debts deemed discharged herein by the statute.

The settlement of these obligations coupled with the settlement of the obligations described above resulted in the Company recording a total gain on Forgiveness of Debt totaling $818,708 for the nine months ending September 30, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The 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 has been obtained solely through the reduction, adjustment or termination of various debt obligations and through net proceeds received in litigation settlements and does not reflect operating revenues to the Company. The Company continues without revenues and with continuing substantial expenses, yielding a net loss from operations if considered apart from reduction of debt, asset sales, and litigation settlements. The Company continues to search for merger or acquisition candidates or possible entities to which it may sell or license 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.

General

Klever Marketing, Inc. was formed for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain capital, to file and acquire patents, to seek out, investigate, develop, and market electronic in-store advertising, directory and coupon services which have potential for profit. The Company successfully conducted two in-store demonstrations of its shopping cart technology – the latest being in 2009 with the release of the Giving Cart and its Retailer Chime-Time Awards Programs. Subsequently, in 2010, the Company shifted its business model to mobile technology and has aggressively developed new applications using this technology, which it expects to market and release in the near future. The Company is currently testing its mobile technology in a pilot store in Anaheim, California.

Product Base

Following a decade of development of its shopping cart-based electronic advertising technology, which was successful in demonstrating the advantages of electronic distribution and redemption of electronic coupons and promotions, the Company realized that mobile technology had advanced to the level where Klever’s product base could be applied and considerably expanded into an entirely new product line. Accordingly, in 2010, the Company made a dramatic shift into mobile technology. Since that time the Company has made substantial progress on its mobile application development and implementation. The software programming of the consumer KleverShop® application has been completed and successfully tested in our demonstration store. The retailer and supplier KleverDash® application has completed its database and backend programming, complete with a revised graphical user interface, which successfully tested in our demonstration store.

Progress During the three Months Ending September 30, 2014

During the third Quarter, the Company completed testing of its patented Hook and Tender checkout and clearing process which will allow users of our KleverShop application to checkout very efficiently when shopping at any of the 10,000 independent grocers using the Retalix ISS 45 POS system. This technology briefly taps into the store’s POS system to allow a validated checkout and redemption of selected coupons, followed by a printed receipt showing the coupon savings and categorizing of data preparatory to coupon clearing.

Klever has also recently hired a business development specialist, Scott Emig, who is moving aggressively to sign up new retailers to utilize the Klever suite of products. He has extensive experience working with both grocery retailers and product manufacturers and has developed and is implementing an extensive program to sign up retailers into the Klever system.

The Company has signed on a senior software developer, Mike Tallent, to rewrite areas of the KleverShop® and KleverDash™ software into more efficient programming language to further enhance the effectiveness of our software products. He has worked in Silicon Valley for the past 20 years and brings a wealth of experience to add to our current outstanding development capability.

Anticipated Business Development in the Next 12 Months

During the next 12 months, the Company will attempt to move forward along several paths. We will continue to strengthen our balance sheet by reducing our outstanding debt and seek additional capital investment. As we work with retailers, we will strengthen our KleverShop® and KleverDash™ systems to improve the consumer experience and ability of suppliers to manage their promotional programs. We continue to improve our Klevershop® software for both iPhone and Android applications to assure the programs are efficiently programmed and simple to use.

We are looking to expand into a regional super market chain of moderate size to demonstrate the multi-store usability of our software systems and generate revenue from operations. We also plan to develop our own internal laboratory for further testing of our applications. And we are working with large associations and supplier organizations who are interested in providing Klever’s applications to their user base.

We will use this retailer base to promote our relationships with product suppliers to bring them into the fold of Klever product users. With these suppliers we will promote our KleverBank® system for coupon management and consumer redemption, which when successful, is expected to place our Company in a very attractive position. We continue to differentiate ourselves as being a full service digital marketing provider to consumers, retailers and suppliers with platforms to meet all of their promotional needs. Notable progress is being made, and the Company is moving forward. However, we must caution the reader that Klever Marketing currently has no signed revenue contracts. No assurance or warranty can be given that the Company will be successful in implementing the efforts described in this report.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $67,615 compared to a net loss of $52,180 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The reduction in net loss in the current year is primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses of $12,769 coupled offset by a decrease in net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain parties infringing upon the Company’s patents.. General and administrative costs were reduced from $86,429 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $72,516 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The reduction in costs was primarily due to reduced costs for outside services and accounting fees of $6,998 and $5,394, respectively. Outside service fees were lower due to reduced costs for third party consultants. Accounting fees were lower primarily due to lower costs for preparing the Company’s December 31, 2013 10-K and the 2014 10-Q’s.

The Company received $7,150 in net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain parties infringing upon the Company’s patents compared to net proceeds of $35,360 for similar matters in the prior year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $122,123 compared to net income of $562,414 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in earnings in the current year is primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses of $60,677 offset by a decrease in other income of $745,108. General and administrative costs were reduced by $59,292 from $266,420 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $207,128 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The reduction in costs was primarily due to reduced costs for outside services, accounting fees, and promotional expenses of $28,608, $18,365, and $23,612, respectively. Outside service fees were lower due to reduced costs for third party consultants. Accounting fees were lower primarily due to lower costs for preparing the Company’s December 31, 2013 10-K and 2014 10-Q’s. Promotional fees were lower primarily due to the Company receiving a refund of promotional fees paid as a result of the Company terminating its agreement with a third party consulting firm. The overall decrease in general and administrative costs was partially offset by an increase of $5,603 related to additional amortization of the Company’s patents and trademarks resulting from the Company’s continued investment in its intellectual property.

The Company had no interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $16,626 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Interest expense in the current year was eliminated as a result of the debt settlement agreements the Company entered into during the first quarter of 2013.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received $81,400 in net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain parties infringing upon the Company’s patents compared to $35,360 in net settlement proceeds in the prior year.

The Company had debt forgiveness income during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $10,609 as a result of the statute of limitations apparently expiring compared to debt forgiveness income of $818,708 for the same period in 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into settlement agreements with certain creditors resulting in the Company making cash payments totaling $25,450 and issuing 450,000 shares of common stock valued at $13,500 to settle outstanding obligations totaling $776,153. The Company also wrote off $81,504 of obligations where the statute of limitations had apparently expired. The settlement of these obligations resulted in the Company recording a gain on Forgiveness of Debt totaling $818,708.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires working capital principally to fund its proposed product development and operating expenses for which the Company has relied primarily on short-term borrowings and the issuance of restricted common stock.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into settlement agreements with certain creditors resulting in the Company making cash payments totaling $25,450 and issuing 450,000 shares of common stock valued at $13,500 to settle outstanding obligations totaling $776,153. The Company also wrote off $81,504 of obligations where the statute of limitations would most likely bar any claims. The settlement of these obligations resulted in the Company recording a gain on Forgiveness of Debt totaling $818,708.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s officers agreed to forgive $404,250 of compensation that was owed to them and contribute the value of those services to the Company. As a result, the Company recorded an addition to paid-in capital for this amount.

Cash flows generated from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $2,058 compared to cash flows used in operations of $135,924 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in cash flows from operations is due primarily to increased depreciation and amortization of $6,031, a bigger increase in accrued liabilities of $98,474 offset by a smaller increase in accounts payable of $2,510 and an increase resulting from $10,609 of debt forgiveness income in the current year as compared to $818,708 in the prior year. These increases in the current year as compared to the prior year were partially offset by a decrease in net income of $684,537, stock issued for general and administrative of $6,250, and contributed services of $81,000.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $73,945 as compared to $78,114 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company spent $63,314 for capitalized software development and $10,631 to develop patents and trademarks. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company spent $1,809 acquiring equipment, $40,750 on capitalized software development, and $35,555 developing patents and trademarks. 

Cash flows generated from financing activities were $34,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $312,450 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received $31,000 of proceeds from the sale of commons stock and $3,500 of proceeds from a related party loan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received proceeds from sales of common stock of $316,500 offset by cash used of $4,050 in repayments to related parties net of borrowings received.

As of September 30, 2014, our cash position was $14,267, compared with $51,654 as of December 31, 2013. We anticipate hiring additional employees and consultants for development and the corresponding operations of the Company, but this hiring is not planned to occur prior to obtaining additional capital. The Company requires working capital principally to complete development, testing and marketing of its new mobile products and to pay for ongoing operating expenses. Management is currently in the process of looking for additional investors. Currently, 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 raise minimal additional working capital that has been required to enable the Company to continue operations. From time to time in the past, required short-term borrowings have been obtained from principal shareholders or other related entities or working capital has been obtained through the issuance of restricted common stock to fund operations in accordance with the Company’s revised business plan.

Factors That May Affect Future Results - Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains information based on management’s beliefs and forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to help ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.  This information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation and the requirements of the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures continue to be ineffective. The small size of our Company does not provide for the desired segregation of duty control functions, and we do not have the required level of documentation of our monitoring and control procedures. Currently, our financial constraints prevent us from fully implementing the internal controls prescribed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company. Due to limited resources, Management conducted an evaluation of internal controls based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The results of this evaluation determined that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2014, due to material weaknesses. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.

Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

As a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

To date, the Company has not been able to add any additional members to its Audit Committee due its limited financial resources. When the Company obtains sufficient funding, Management intends to add additional members to the Audit Committee and charge them with assisting the Company in addressing the material weaknesses noted above. The Company’s lack of current financial resources makes it impossible for the Company to hire the appropriate personnel needed to overcome these weaknesses and ensure that appropriate controls and separation of responsibilities of a larger organization exist. We also will continue to follow the standards for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for internal control over financial reporting to include procedures that:

Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the nine months ending September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Controls and Procedures.

Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has taken limited steps to meet its Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 compliance requirements and implement procedures to assure financial reports are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore fairly represent the results and condition of the Company. We are not materially compliant with the Section 404 requirements due to economic constraints.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors and Uncertainties.

Readers should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.

Our failure to successfully address the risks and uncertainties described below would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business.

As an enterprise engaged in the development of new technology, our business is inherently risky.  Our common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.

We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed.  

Our independent accountant’s report to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial risks about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our accumulated deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations and our dependence upon obtaining adequate additional financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, investors could lose their investments.

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in technology development, we face a risk of business failure.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by companies developing new technology and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the development of new technology with limited personnel and financial means. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated technical problems that extend the time and cost of product development, or unanticipated problems with the operation of our technology or that with which we are licensing that also extend the time and cost of product development.

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.

Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the full development and marketing of our mobile products, and we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently have minimal operations and no income.

Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with developing our mobile phone technology and paying our current obligations. The Company currently does not have sufficient funds to complete the development of its technology and to pay its obligations. As a result, the Company will require additional financing to execute its business plan.

We do not currently have any firm arrangements for financing, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such additional financing if required. Obtaining additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of our technology and current financial condition as well as general market conditions. These factors affect the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. And if additional financing is not arranged, the company faces the risk of going out of business.

The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the additional sale of private equity capital or through a convertible debt instrument. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.

There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that investors may have difficulty reselling their shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

Our shares qualify as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. In particular, prior to selling a penny stock, broker/dealers must give the prospective customer a risk disclosure document that: contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; contains a description of the broker/dealers’ duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violations of such duties or other requirements of Federal securities laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices; contains the toll free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions established pursuant to section 15(A)(i); defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and contains such other information, and is in such form (including language, type size, and format), as the SEC requires by rule or regulation. Further, for sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement before making a sale to you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent reselling of shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline. 

Technology companies face intense competition.  We will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees.

The technology industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. Competition includes large established technology companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to become a leader in our industry and attract and retain qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our technology development and commercialization efforts may be slowed down or suspended.

We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.

Volatility of Stock Price.

Our common shares are currently publicly traded on the OTC BB exchange under the symbol KLMK. In the future, the trading price of our common shares may be subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of the common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for software technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of the common shares, regardless of our operating performance. Readers should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.

Our failure to successfully address the risks and uncertainties described below would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business.

As an enterprise engaged in the development of new technology, our business is inherently risky.  Our common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below. Our common stock has traded between $0.03 and $0.09 per share during the past 52 weeks.
