ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

OVERVIEW

 

Company History

 

Gopher Protocol, Inc. (f/k/a Forex International Trading Corp.) (the "Company", "Gopher", "we", "us" and "our"), a Nevada corporation, was established on July 22, 2009. The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Direct JV Investments Inc. ("DirectJV"), a Nevada corporation, which the company formed on December 28, 2011.

 

The Company is developing a proprietary a consumer heuristic technology platform which connects consumers with products and services that they require in their everyday lives. The Company's technology platform provides a system and method for scheduling categorized deliverables, according to demand, at the customer's location based on smartphone application and/or via the internet Previously, the Company was principally engaged in a business which offered foreign currency market trading consulting services to non-US resident clients, professionals and retail clients. 

 

The Company’s common stock trades on the OTCQB maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol GOPH.

 

Recent Developments

 

Effective April 4, 2014, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing the Company’s number of authorized shares to 600,000,000. In connection with this, the Company filed an Issuer Company-Related Action Notification Form with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). On or about September 10, 2014, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase the authorized shares to 2,000,000,000 shares. The Reverse Stock Split of 1:5,000 was approved by FINRA on October 3, 2014. All figures in this filling have been adjusted accordingly to reflect this corporate action.

 

On November 7, 2014, Igwekali Reginald Emmanuel was appointed by the Company to serve as the President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer as well as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

On January 26, 2012, DirectJV, and Vulcan Oil & Gas Inc. ("Vulcan"), entered into an agreement whereby JV agreed to provide funding to certain alternative, green and solar energy projects that Vulcan was associated with, in exchange for a 40% interest in Vulcan's portion of such projects (the "Joint Venture"). On January 7, 2013, DirectJV, the Company and Vulcan entered into an agreement pursuant to which the parties terminated the Joint Venture and Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Vulcan in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the "Forex Note") and, in consideration for the Company issuing the Forex Note, Vulcan issued to the Company a Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principle amount of $400,000 which included the Investment (the "Vulcan Note"). Leova Dobris ("Holder") claims that prior to December 15, 2012, a debt cash investment in the amount of $50,000 (the "Vulcan Debt Investment") was made by Holder or on Holder's behalf in order to fund Vulcan and that the Company had guaranteed the Vulcan Investment made by Holder. Vulcan has since been dissolved and, prior to Vulcan's dissolution, Vulcan failed to pay Holder the Vulcan Debt Investment and assigned the Forex Note to Holder. Holder has threatened to commence litigation against the Company in connection with its claimed guarantee of the Vulcan Debt Investment and to proceed with litigation against the Company in connection with the Forex Note. On November 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Holder pursuant to which the Company, in consideration of a full release from and against any and all claims, agreed to issue to Holder 1,000,000 pre-split shares of restricted common stock (the "Settlement Shares") at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (200 shares post-split). Holder may, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined.

 

On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Vladimir Kirish pursuant to which Mr. Kirish converted $197,717.22 in debt payable by the Company into 50,000,000 restricted shares of common stock (the “Kirish Shares”). Mr. Kirish acquired the debt from a third party. Mr. Kirish subsequently transferred his shares to a third party.

On January 22, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with GV Global Communications Inc. (“GV Global”) pursuant to which GV Global exchanged $75,273 in debt into a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $75,273 (the “GV Note”). The GV Note matures January 21, 2017 (the "Maturity Date") and interest associated with the GV Note is 10% per annum, which is payable on the Maturity Date. The GV Note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, at the option of GV Global, at a conversion price of $0.00752734. GV Global has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the GV Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.  In addition, on March 2, 2015, the Company and GV Global Communications, Inc. ("GV") amended that certain 10% Convertible Debenture (the "GV Debenture") which debt underlying the GV Debenture was initially incurred on October 6, 2009 and exchanged for the GV Debenture on January 19, 2014. The parties agreed that the conversion price in the GV Debenture will not be impacted by the 1:1,000 stock split implemented by the Company on February 24, 2015 and will remain $0.0075273.

 

On February 2, 2015, the transfer agent for the Company issued Blackbridge Capital, LLC ("Blackbridge") 969 post-split (4,843,398 pre-split) shares of common stock (the "Blackbridge Shares") upon Blackbridge submitting a conversion notice converting a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Blackbridge Note") in the principal amount of $90,000 plus interest. The Blackbridge Shares were issued without a standard restrictive legend as Blackbridge delivered a legal opinion to remove the restrictive legend under Rule 144 together with the conversion note. The Company believes that Blackbridge was in breach of the agreements entered with the Company in June 2014. The Company is contemplating commencing litigation against Blackbridge in connection with this matter.

 

On February 17, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Change (the “Certificate”) with the State of Nevada to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding and authorized shares of common stock at a ratio of 1 for 1,000 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Fractional shares that resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next highest number. The Certificate was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The effective date of the Reverse Stock Split was February 23, 2015. In addition, the Company filed Articles of Merger (the “Articles”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effectuate a name change. The Articles were filed to effectuate a merger between Gopher Protocol Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity. As a result, the Company’s name changed from “Forex International Trading Corp.” to “Gopher Protocol Inc.”. In connection with the above, the Company filed an Issuer Company-Related Action Notification Form with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Reverse Stock Split will be implemented by FINRA on February 23, 2015. Our new CUSIP number is 38268V 108 and our new symbol is “GOPH”.

 

On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Territorial License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Hermes Roll LLC (“Hermes”), a Nevada limited liability company currently being formed. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Hermes will license to the Company, on an exclusive basis in the State of California, certain intellectual property relating to Hermes's system and method for scheduling categorized deliverables, according to demand, at the customer’s location based on smartphone application and/or via the internet, in consideration of 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares have no liquidation rights. The Holder of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Company on an as-converted basis. The Preferred Shares have a conversion price of $0.01 (the "Conversion Price") and a stated value of $10.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). Subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000, each Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the Holder, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price.

 

GopherProtocol is a heuristic-based technology platform that connects consumers with the products and services they need through a novel way of master scheduling deliverables according to demand at the customer’s location based on a smartphone application, the internet or by phone call.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item 1A. Risk Factors.  Despite the fact that we are not required to provide risk factors, we consider the following factors to be risks to our continued growth and development:

 

We will be required to raise additional capital in order to implement any growth plans.

 

We plan to raise working capital that will allow us to conduct our business for the next twelve months. There is no guarantee regarding our ability to raise that capital. If adequate funds are not available, we may not be able to fund our expansion, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance products or services, respond to competitive pressures or maintain our public filings. Such inability could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

6
 

  

We may need and be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

 

Unforeseeable circumstances may occur which could compel us to seek additional funds. Furthermore, future events, including the problems, delays, expenses and other difficulties frequently encountered by start-up companies may lead to cost increases that could make the net proceeds of this offering insufficient to fund our proposed business plan. Thus, the proceeds of the offering may be insufficient to accomplish our objectives and we may have to borrow or otherwise raise additional funds to accomplish such objectives. We may seek additional sources of capital, including an additional offering of our equity securities, an offering of debt securities or obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. This may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us. Our inability to raise additional equity capital or borrow funds required to affect our business plan, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects. Additionally, to the extent that further funding ultimately proves to be available, both debt and equity financing involve risks. Debt financing may require us to pay significant amounts of interest and principal payments, reducing the resources available to us to expand our existing businesses. Some types of equity financing may be highly dilative to our stockholders' interest in our assets and earnings. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility.

 

We will have inadequate capital to pay significant additional expenses we expect to incur as a public company and, as a result, we will be required to raise additional capital further diluting investors that participated in prior offerings.

 

We are a reporting company subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act.  In order to comply with such reporting requirements, we will incur additional administrative expenses including substantial legal and accounting expenses.  We expect such fees to be approximately $150,000 per year.  As a result, we will be required to raise additional debt or equity financing, of which there is no guarantee that such financing will be available or available on acceptable terms.  If we are required to raise additional funds or do not deploy our capital in the appropriate manner and if we raise such proceeds in the form of equity, our shareholders will be further diluted.

 

Our success will be dependent on attracting key and other personnel, particularly in the areas of management, technical services and customer support.

 

We believe that our success will depend on the continued efforts of management for the development of our platform and to pursue financial transactions to earn a return on capital. Such experience will be important to the establishment of our business. Our success also depends on having highly trained technical and customer support personnel.

 

We may have difficulty attracting and employing members to our senior management team and sufficient technical and customer support personnel to keep up with our growth needs. This shortage could limit our ability to increase sales and to sell services. Competition for personnel is intense. If we cannot hire suitable personnel to meet our growth needs, our business and operations will be negatively affected.

 

We may not be able to make future acquisitions and new strategic alliances, and, even if we do, such acquisitions and alliances may disrupt or otherwise negatively affect our business.

 
Our business plan contemplates that we may make acquisitions.  Future acquisitions are subject to the following risks:

 

· we may not be able to agree on the terms of the acquisition or alliance, such as the amount or price of our acquired interest;

 

· acquisitions and alliances may make it difficult to implement or maintain our systems, controls and procedures;

 

· we may acquire companies or make strategic alliances in markets in which we have little experience;

 

· we may not be able successfully to integrate the services, products and personnel of any acquisition or new alliance into our operations;

 

7
 

  

· we may be required to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for acquisitions, which may result in significant dilution to existing shareholders, or we may not be able to finance the acquisitions at all; and

 

· our acquisitions and strategic alliances may not be successful, and we may lose our entire investment.

 

In addition, we will face competition from other parties, including large public and private companies, venture capital firms, and other companies, in our search for suitable acquisitions and alliances. Many of the companies we will compete with for acquisitions have substantially greater name recognition and financial resources than we have, which may limit our opportunity to acquire interests in new companies, technologies and assets or create strategic alliances. Even if we are able to find suitable acquisition candidates or develop acceptable strategic alliances, doing so may require more time and expense than we expect because of intense competition.

Anti-takeover provisions and our right to issue preferred stock could make a third party acquisition of us difficult.

 
The Company is a Nevada corporation. Anti-takeover provisions of Nevada law tend to make it difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may issue preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control. Preventing a change of control could adversely affect the market price of Gopher common stock and the voting and other rights of holders of Gopher common stock.

 

Our common stock price is highly volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock is highly volatile, as the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has been highly volatile. Our shareholders may not be able to resell their shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to this volatility.  Factors that could cause this volatility may include, among other things:

 

•           announcements of technological innovations and the creation and failure of B2B marketplaces;

 

•           actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

   

•           new sales formats or new products or services;

 

•           changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

 

•           conditions or trends in the Internet, B2B and other industries;

 

•           changes in the market valuations of other Internet companies;

 

•           announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;

 

•           changes in capital commitments;

 

•           additions or departures of key personnel;

 

•           sales of our common stock; and

 

•           general market conditions.

 

Many of these factors are beyond our control.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

Our headquarters are located at 23129 Cajalco Rd., Perris, CA 92570. The Company pays no office rent, but being billed for minimal office expenses.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  There is currently no litigation that management believes will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.

Not applicable.

Penny Stock

 

Our common stock is considered "penny stock" under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:

 

contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalents were $0 and $0 for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of additional income and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2014, the Company has a negative working capital of $455,688, and an accumulated deficit of $2,412030. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Cash used by operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $63,945, and $52,499, respectively. There is no significant difference between the periods.

Cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $63,945 and $51,881, respectively. There is no significant difference between the periods.

 

We plan to raise working capital that will allow us to conduct our business for the next twelve months. There is no guarantee regarding our ability to raise that capital. We expect to use the proceeds to fund our short-term capital requirements including paying administrative expenses associated with maintaining our public company’s filings for the next 12 months. In order to implement our business plan and pay various administrative expenses on a minimal basis for the next 12 months, we expect that we will need approximately $150,000. The Company expects that its operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the future and will depend on a number of factors including the state of the worldwide economy and financial markets, which are outside the Company's control.

After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.   Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the July 2013 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.   The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $42,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees. As of the date of the July 2013 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The July 2013 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.  The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other  things,  the  transaction  did not involve a public  offering,  Financer is an accredited  investor, Financer had access to information about the Company  and their  investment,  Financer  took the  securities  for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

 

In April 2014, Financier converted the entire remaining note balance, and released the company from its debt, which is a zero balance. On or about June 3, 2014, the Company issued another note to the Financier payable for $32,500 (“June 2014 Note”), of which $2,500 was for legal fees associated with the transaction. The terms of the new note were similar to the terms described above, with a maturity of March 5, 2015.

 

The June 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on maturity.  The June 2014 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.00001.  In the event the Company prepays the June 2014 Note in full, the Company is required to pay to Financer an amount in cash equal to all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 112% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 121% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing and (iii) 126% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing and (iv) 131% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing and (v) 136% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 150 days following the closing and (vi) 141% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.   

 

Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the June 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.   The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $32,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees pursuant to the terms of this convertible agreement. As of the date of the June 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The June 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. 

 

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Act") for the private placement  of these  securities  pursuant  to  Section  4(2) of the Act  and/or  Regulation  D promulgated  there under since,  among other  things,  the  transaction  did not involve a public  offering,  Financer is an accredited  investor, Financer had access to information about the Company  and their  investment,  Financer  took the  securities  for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

 

In 2014, the Company accrued $1,734 of interest expense in connection with the July 2013 and the June 2014 Note. As of December 31, 2014, the June 2014 Note is in default; the Company anticipates that Financier will convert their debt into common shares.

d) Third Party Note Payable

 

On May 13, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party financing source ("Financier 2"), for the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $147,625 (the "May 2014 Note").  In conjunction with the issuance of the May 2014 Note, an existing note holder (Rasel, owner of the Rasel Notes) agreed to have the proceeds of the May 2014 Note used to offset the amounts owed to them as evidenced by the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement dated May 12, 2014, between the holders of the Rasel Notes and Financier 2. The Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement calls for the Financier 2 to make two payments of $73,813 each to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes). On May 13, 2014, the Financier 2 made the first payment to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes), however, Financier 2 defaulted on their obligation to make the second payment per the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement. As a result, the Company and Financier 2 have mutually agreed to release Financier 2 from its’ obligation for the second payment, and the other half of the note in the amount of $73,812 reverted back to Rasel.

 

The May 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on September 1, 2014.  The May 2014 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer 2’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.0001.  

 

Financer 2 has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the May 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.   As of the date of the May 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer 2 in connection with the offering. The May 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. 

 

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities  for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Financier 2 converted 64,400 post-split (322,000,000 pre-split) shares at an average valuation of approximately $0.98 on a post-split basis. The Company has accrued $957 in interest expense in 2014 in connection with this note. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of the note including accrued interest is $8,592.

 

e) Convertible note payable to Blackbridge

 

On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a set of agreements (collectively, the “Blackbridge Agreement”) with Blackbridge, a financial services firm. The Company and Blackbridge were discussing an equity line of credit, and the Company agreed to pay Blackbridge a commitment fee of 90,000,000 shares (18,000 shares post-split), and also issued a convertible note for $90,000 having a 5% interest rate that matures on December 16, 2014. The note can be converted after the maturity date. The conversion price is 90% multiplied by the market price, which is defined in the agreement as the lowest of the daily trading price for the common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.

 

The` Company computed the fair value of the conversion feature at the commitment date, based on the following management assumptions:

 

Expected dividends 0%
Expected volatility 298%
Expected term: conversion feature 183 days
Risk free interest rate 0.11%

 

The fair value of the embedded conversion option on the commitment date was $7,238. The Company recorded a related debt discount of $7,238, which is amortized over the life of the debt. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Company amortized $7,238 of debt discount.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company remeasured the derivative liability and recorded a fair value of $0 due to the loan being in default. As a result of the remeasurement, the Company recorded a change in fair value associated with this derivative liability as income totaling $7,238 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

18
 

  

The Company does not believe that the debt is valid, but has accrued the notes on its financial statements to be conservative. The reason that it does not believe the Blackbridge Agreement to be valid is that the parties agreed at the time that the Blackbridge Agreement was signed that it would take 90-120 days to file an S-1 to register the shares needed for the equity line of credit and that such commitment fee would not be payable until such time. The Blackbridge Agreement states, however, that the Company has only 60 days from the date that the Agreement was signed to file an S-1 to register the shares, which the parties agreed was an impossible requirement to meet. The failure to meet that requirement was an event of default in the Blackbridge Agreement, and the counterparty, which could terminate the Blackbridge Agreement at its sole discretion, did not grant a waiver of this clause, despite knowing that that requirement was unrealistic, particularly given the Company’s thin cash position. The inability to register the shares within the required timeframe guaranteed the default of the Company under the Blackbridge Agreement from the outset. As such, the Company believes that said Agreement is null and void, because it lacked the capacity to perform under the Blackbridge.

 

In 2014, the Company accrued $2,451 of interest expense associated with this note. As of December 31, 2014, the Note is in default.

 

f) Convertible Note Payable

 

On January 7, 2013, effective December 31, 2012, the Company, JV and Vulcan entered an agreement pursuant to which the JV Agreement was terminated, the Company issued to Vulcan a 4% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Forex Note") and Vulcan issued to the Company a 10% Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000. The Company recognized a debt discount in the amount of $100,000 for the difference in the face value of the note issued and the note received from the same party. The face value of the note payable is shown net of the debt discount. This debt discount will be amortized over the one-year life of the note. The note has a maturity date of December 31, 2013, and can be extended by the Company for an additional one year at which point the 4% interest rate will increase to 10% per annum. The Forex Note may be prepaid without penalty. The Forex Note conversion price is the Variable Conversion Price, which is defined as 50% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices of the Company's common stock on the OTCBB during the 10-day trading period ending on the latest complete day of trading on the OTCBB prior to the date of conversion. The Variable Conversion Price cannot be less than $0.002 ($10,00 on a post-split basis). At no time will Vulcan convert any amount of the Forex Note into common stock that would result in Vulcan owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding of the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the entire debt discount has been amortized in the accompanying financial statements, and $20,000 of interest expense was accrued during the year ended December 31, 2013. An additional $43,561 of interest expense was accrued in fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

In November 14, 2014 the Company and the holder of the Vulcan note entered into settlement agreement terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions of which the Company will issue the Holder post-split 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined.

 

Dividends

 

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.  No dividends have been paid or declared since the Date of Inception.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts and classification of revenues and expenses during the periods presented, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and material changes in these estimates or assumptions could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded on the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

 

19
 

 

 

We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations, and financial condition because they involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An accounting is deemed to be critical if it requires a judgment or accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and if different estimates that could have been used, or if changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. Other significant accounting policies, primarily those with lower levels of uncertainty than those discussed below, are also critical to understanding our consolidated financial statements. The notes to our consolidated financial statements contain additional information related to our accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this discussion.

 

Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying audited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gopher Protocol Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, DirectJV Investments, Inc. (together “Gopher” or the Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, allowances for doubtful accounts and loan losses, valuation of common and preferred stock issuances, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Notes and Short-Term Receivable

 

The notes and short-term receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company measures the impairment of loans based on its historical loan collection experience and existing economic conditions. Impairment is recognized when management believes it is probable that payments will not be received on some portion of the loan, which is determined on an individual loan basis. The Company evaluates loans for impairment on an annual basis or when there are indications that the loan may not be collected. When management determines that a loan is impaired it is placed on non-accrual status, and an allowance for loan losses is established to recognize the estimated amount of impairment. Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.

 

20
 

  

As required by U.S. GAAP for long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the fair value of its property and equipment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment losses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Fair value measurements

 

Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy that requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three broad levels in the fair value hierarchy that describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth below:

 

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 the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.

 

The carrying value of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, notes payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Treasury Stock

 

Treasury stock is recorded at cost. The re-issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on a first in, first-out basis and any difference between the cost of treasury shares and the re-issuance proceeds are charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. During 2011, the Company bought back 8 post-split shares (38,000 pre-split) shares of its own shares. On December 31, 2014, the Company returned 40,000 post-split shares (200,000,000 pre-split shares) to treasury in connection with the dissolution of the licensing agreement with Micrologic.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the current tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are anticipated to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.

 

U.S. GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014, and is current in its tax filings.

 

The Company's federal income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by the IRS for the years prior to 2010, and the related state income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by state authorities for the years prior to 2010.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes consulting fees when services have been rendered.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense including compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards based on their estimated grant date fair values. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over any required service period. No such expenses were recognized for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

21
 

  

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock, such as options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock or could otherwise cause the issuance of common stock that then shared in loss. Such potential additional common shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted loss per share has not been computed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 because any potential additional common shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an antidilutive effect.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item.

 

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

 The information required by Item 8 appears at Page F-1, which appears after the signature page to this report.

 

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

On April 25, 2013 (the “Dismissal Date”), the Company advised Rosen, Seymour, Shapss, Martin & Company LLP (the “Former Auditor”) that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The decision to dismiss the Former Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 25, 2013.  Except for the provision of a “Going Concern” opinion, the reports of the Former Auditor on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2013, and did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and through the Dismissal Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years.

 

On April 17, 2013 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged Alan R. Swift, CPA, P.A. (“New Auditor”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The decision to engage the New Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the applicable period to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


As a smaller reporting company, without a viable business and revenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance. As is the case with many smaller reporting companies, the Company will continue to consult with its external auditors and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost effective solution available for the foreseeable future. The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management's review of key financial documents and records.

 

22
 

  

As a small business, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis, and the Company's external auditor conducts reviews on a quarterly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.

 

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  · Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets;

 

  · Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

  · Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The design of an internal control system reflects resource constraints and the benefits must be considered relative to the costs of implementing and maintaining the system.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. This assessment was based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, other than the control weakness mentioned above, we believe that as of December 31, 2014 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria. There is a division of duties problem, caused by the fact that we are thinly staffed. The reason for this thin staffing level is that fact that we do not currently have a viable business with revenues and cash flow to support higher levels of staff.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal years 2014 and 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions

 

Our Board of Directors is charged with reviewing and approving all potential related party transactions.  All such related party transactions must then be reported under applicable SEC rules.

Director Independence

 

Igwekali Reginald Emmanuel was appointed Chief Executive Officer on November 7, 2014 – and serves as the sole director of the Company, and is therefore not considered independent as of the date of this filing.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

 

On December 28, 2011 (the "Engagement Date"), the Company engaged Rosen, Seymour, Shapss, Martin & Company LLP ("Rosen") as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

 

On April 25, 2013, the Company advised Rosen that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  Except for the provision of a “Going Concern” opinion, the reports of the Former Auditor on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

 

On April 17, 2013 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged Alan R. Swift, CPA, P.A. (“New Auditor”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The decision to engage the New Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Audit Fees

 

For the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we were billed $19,250, and for the year ended December 31, 2013, we were billed approximately $9,620 by our current auditor for professional services rendered for the review of our financial statements.

 

27
 

  

For the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we paid $94,585 to our former auditor for professional services related to the audit of 2011 year-end and reviews of the quarterly filings. These fees were higher than anticipated, due to additional work related to the restatement of prior year’s financials. In fiscal 2013, we paid $35,171 to Rosen in connection with the audit of fiscal 2012.

 

Audit Related Fees

 

There were no fees for audit related services for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Tax Fees

 

We incurred no fees to an accountant for tax advice and tax compliance services during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

 

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

 

● approved by our audit committee; or

● entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

 

We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 and 2013 

 

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business

 

Gopher Protocol, Inc., (f/k/a Forex International Trading Corp.) (the "Company", "we", "us", "our" or "Gopher") was incorporated on July 22, 2009, under the laws of the State of Nevada and is headquartered in Perris, California. On September 9, 2009, the Company filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement to provide for the registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933. Currently and going forward the company is a consumer heuristic technology platform that connects consumers with the products or services they need. In the past it had been principally engaged in offering consulting for foreign currency market trading to non-US resident clients, professionals and retail clients

 

On May 1, 2014, the Company stock was moved from OTCQB to OTC Pink Sheets due to the new OTCQB $.01 closing bid price requirement. From May1, 2014 to July 18, 2014, the Company stock traded both on OTCBB and on OTC Pink Sheets. On July 18, 2014, the last broker quoting the Company stock on the OTCBB had removed their quote, resulting in the company no longer trading on OTCBB from that date.

 

On August 13, 2014, the Company filed a definitive Information Statement Pursuant to Section 14 (c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the following purposes:

 

·The amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to increase the Company’s authorized Common Stock from 400,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.00001 
·The amendment Articles of Incorporation to effect up to a one-for-ten thousand (1-10,000) reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”)

 

In September of 2014, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase the authorized shares to 2,000,000,000 shares. In October of 2014, the Company implemented a 1-5,000 reverse split, with no fractional shares allowed.

 

In February of 2015, the Company filed Articles of Merger (the “Articles”) with the Secretary of the State of Nevada to effectuate a name change. The Articles were filed to effectuate a merger between Gopher Protocol, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Forex International Trading Corp., with Forex International Trading Corp. being the surviving entity. As a result, the Company’s name changed from “Forex International Trading Corp.” to “Gopher Protocol, Inc.”

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Presentation and Basis of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gopher Protocol, Inc. (f/k/a Forex International Trading Corp.), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DirectJV Investments, Inc. (together “Gopher” or the Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Notes and Short-Term Receivable

 

The notes and short-term receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company measures the impairment of loans based on its historical loan collection experience and existing economic conditions. Impairment is recognized when management believes it is probable that payments will not be received on some portion of the loan, which is determined on an individual loan basis. The Company evaluates loans for impairment on an annual basis or when there are indications that the loan may not be collected. When management determines that a loan is impaired it is placed on non-accrual status, and an allowance for loan losses is established to recognize the estimated amount of impairment. Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.

GOPHER PROTOCOL, INC.

f/k/a FOREX INTERNATIONAL TRADING CORP. 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 and 2013 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.

 

As required by U.S. GAAP for long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the fair value of its property and equipment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Fair value measurements

 

Financial instruments and certain non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at their fair value as determined based on the assets highest and best use. GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy that requires that the valuation technique used be based on the most objective inputs available for measuring a particular asset or liability. There are three broad levels in the fair value hierarchy that describe the degree of objectivity of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy is set forth below:

 

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 the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.

 

The carrying value of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, notes payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Treasury Stock

 

Treasury stock is recorded at cost. The re-issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on a first in, first-out basis and any difference between the cost of treasury shares and the re-issuance proceeds are charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. During 2011, the Company bought back 8 post-split shares (38,000 pre-split) shares of its own shares. On December 31, 2014, the Company returned 40,000 post-split shares (200,000,000 pre-split shares) to treasury in connection with the dissolution of the licensing agreement with Micrologic.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefits expected to be realized.

 

U.S. GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that would likely be sustained under examination. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014.

 

The Company's federal income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by the IRS for the years prior to 2010, and the related state income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by state authorities for the years prior to 2010.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 605”). Under ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We had revenue of $120,000 and $100,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, 100% of the Company’s revenue was related to consulting services provided to one company in the foreign exchange business.

Share-Based Compensation

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively. No such expenses were recognized for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. 

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the Company’s net losses, the effects of stock options, convertible notes, and convertible preferred stock would be anti-dilutive and accordingly, is excluded from the computation of earnings per share. Diluted loss per share has not been computed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 because any potential additional common shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an antidilutive effect.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's net loss or cash flow.

 

Note 3 - Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained net loss of $295,569 and used cash in operating activities of $63,945 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company had a working capital deficit of $455,688, stockholders’ deficit of $452,295 and accumulated deficit of $2,412,030, respectively, at December 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue to function as a going concern, and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at December 31, 2014 was insufficient to meet cash requirements to support Company operations through December 31, 2015.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Investments, Acquisitions, and Divestiture

 

Joint Venture – Vulcan Oil & Gas Inc.

 

On February 13, 2012, Direct JV Investments Inc. ("JV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the "JV Agreement") with Vulcan Oil & Gas Inc. ("Vulcan"), whereby the Company would from time to time provide financing to certain Vulcan alternative, green and solar energy projects (the "Projects") with the goal of sharing in any rebates awarded by the government on any of the Projects. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, JV provided Vulcan with $68,000 in cash (the Funding") and credit for inventory valued at $31,328 for a total investment value of $99,328 (the "Investment").

 

On January 7, 2013, effective December 31, 2012, the Company, JV and Vulcan entered into an agreement pursuant to which the JV Agreement was terminated. The Company issued to Vulcan a 4% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Forex Note") and Vulcan issued to the Company a 10% Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000 (the "Vulcan Note" and collectively with the Forex Note, the "Notes") in consideration of the Forex Note. The Investment of $99,328 was written off as of December 31, 2012. After closing the Notes and recording of the difference as a debt discount, there are no further balances due between the parties and the JV Agreement is null and void.

 

The Forex Note maturity date is December 31, 2013, and was extended by the Company for an additional one year at which point the 4% interest rate will increase to 10% per annum. The Forex Note is currently in default. The Forex Note conversion price is the Variable Conversion Price, which is defined as 50% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices of the Company's common stock on the OTCBB during the 10-day trading period ending on the latest complete day of trading on the OTCBB prior to the date of conversion. The Variable Conversion Price cannot be less than $0.002. At no time will Vulcan convert any amount of the Forex Note into common stock that would result in Vulcan owning more than 4.9% of the common stock outstanding of the Company.

 

The Vulcan Note has a 10% one-time interest charge on the principal sum. The interest rate will be increased by an additional 4% per annum (e.g. 14% per annum) in the event the principal is not paid by the December 31, 2014 maturity date.

 

In November 2014 the Company and the holder of the Vulcan note entered into settlement agreement terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions of which the Company will issue the Holder 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined. As of December 31, 2014, the note and accrued interest balance was $0.

 

Note 5 - Notes and Short-term Receivables

 

At December 31, 2013, the Company had a receivable from Vulcan which had a balance of $440,000, which included $40,000 of accrued interest. In November 2014 the Company and the holder of the Vulcan note entered into settlement agreement terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions of which the Company will issue the Holder 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined. The Company recognized the expense for the loss associated with the conversion of the note receivable and note payable to Vulcan in the amount of $45,227.

c) Issuance of note payable to third party

 

On July 24, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a third party financing source ("Financer 1"), for the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $42,500 (the "July 2013 Note"), of which $2,500 was for legal fees associated with the transaction.  The financing closed on July 31, 2013.

 

The July 2013 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on April 29, 2014.  The July 2013 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.00009.  In the event the Company prepays the July 2013 Note in full, the Company is required to pay to Financer an amount in cash equal to all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 112% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 121% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing and (iii) 126% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing and (iv) 131% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing and (v) 136% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 150 days following the closing and (vi) 141% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.   Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the July 2013 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.   The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $42,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees. As of the date of the July 2013 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The July 2013 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company.  The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other  things,  the  transaction  did not involve a public  offering,  Financer is an accredited  investor, Financer had access to information about the Company  and their  investment,  Financer  took the  securities  for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

 

In April 2014, Financier converted the entire remaining note balance, and released the company from its debt, which is a zero balance. In June of 2014, the Company issued another note to the Financier payable for $32,500 (“June 2014 Note”), of which $2,500 was for legal fees associated with the transaction. The terms of the new note were similar to the terms described above, with a maturity of March 5, 2015.

 

The June 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on maturity.  The June 2014 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.00001.  In the event the Company prepays the June 2014 Note in full, the Company is required to pay to Financer an amount in cash equal to all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by (i) 112% if prepaid during the period commencing on the closing date through 30 days thereafter, (ii) 121% if prepaid 31 days following the closing through 60 days following the closing and (iii) 126% if prepaid 61 days following the closing through 90 days following the closing and (iv) 131% if prepaid 91 days following the closing through 120 days following the closing and (v) 136% if prepaid 121 days following the closing through 150 days following the closing and (vi) 141% if prepaid 151 days following the closing through 180 days following the closing. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.   

 

Financer has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the June 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.   The total net proceeds the Company received from this offering were $32,500, less $2,500 in attorney’s fees pursuant to the terms of this convertible agreement. As of the date of the June 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer in connection with the offering. The June 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. 

 

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Act") for the private placement  of these  securities  pursuant  to  Section  4(2) of the Act  and/or  Regulation  D promulgated  there under since,  among other  things,  the  transaction  did not involve a public  offering,  Financer is an accredited  investor, Financer had access to information about the Company  and their  investment,  Financer  took the  securities  for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

d) Third Party Note Payable

 

On May 13, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party financing source ("Financier 2"), for the issuance of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $147,625 (the "May 2014 Note").  In conjunction with the issuance of the May 2014 Note, an existing note holder (Rasel, owner of the Rasel Notes) agreed to have the proceeds of the May 2014 Note used to offset the amounts owed to them as evidenced by the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement dated May 12, 2014, between the holders of the Rasel Notes and Financier 2. The Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement calls for the Financier 2 to make two payments of $73,813 each to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes). On May 13, 2014, the Financier 2 made the first payment to the existing note holder (Rasel Notes), however, Financier 2 defaulted on their obligation to make the second payment per the Assignment of Convertible Debenture agreement. As a result, the Company and Financier 2 have mutually agreed to release Financier 2 from its’ obligation for the second payment, and the other half of the note in the amount of $73,812 reverted back to Rasel.

 

The May 2014 Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on September 1, 2014.  The May 2014 Note is convertible into common stock, at Financer 2’s option, at the greater of a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion or $0.0001.  

 

Financer 2 has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the May 2014 Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.   As of the date of the May 2014 Note, the Company is obligated on the Note issued to Financer 2 in connection with the offering. The May 2014 Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. 

 

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the "Act") for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated there under since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, Financer is an accredited investor, Financer had access to information about the Company and their investment, Financer took the securities  for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

The Company has accrued $957 in interest expense in 2014 in connection with this note. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of the note including accrued interest is $8,592.

 

e) Convertible note payable to Blackbridge

 

On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a set of agreements (collectively, the “Blackbridge Agreement”) with Blackbridge, a financial services firm. The Company and Blackbridge were discussing an equity line of credit, and the Company agreed to pay Blackbridge a commitment fee of 90,000,000 shares (18,000 shares post-split), and also issued a convertible note for $90,000 having a 5% interest rate that matures on December 16, 2014. The note can be converted after the maturity date. The conversion price is 90% multiplied by the market price, which is defined in the agreement as the lowest of the daily trading price for the common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.

 

The` Company computed the fair value of the conversion feature at the commitment date, based on the following management assumptions:

 

Expected dividends 0%
Expected volatility 298%
Expected term: conversion feature 183 days
Risk free interest rate 0.11%

 

The fair value of the embedded conversion option on the commitment date was $7,238. The Company recorded a related debt discount of $7,238, which is amortized over the life of the debt. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Company amortized $7,238 of debt discount.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company remeasured the derivative liability and recorded a fair value of $0 due to the loan being in default. As a result of the remeasurement, the Company recorded a change in fair value associated with this derivative liability as income totaling $7,238 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 and 2013 

 

The Company does not believe that the debt is valid, but has accrued the notes on its financial statements to be conservative. The reason that it does not believe the Blackbridge Agreement to be valid is that the parties agreed at the time that the Blackbridge Agreement was signed that it would take 90-120 days to file an S-1 to register the shares needed for the equity line of credit and that such commitment fee would not be payable until such time. The Blackbridge Agreement states, however, that the Company has only 60 days from the date that the Agreement was signed to file an S-1 to register the shares, which the parties agreed was an impossible requirement to meet. The failure to meet that requirement was an event of default in the Blackbridge Agreement, and the counterparty, which could terminate the Blackbridge Agreement at its sole discretion, did not grant a waiver of this clause, despite knowing that that requirement was unrealistic, particularly given the Company’s thin cash position. The inability to register the shares within the required timeframe guaranteed the default of the Company under the Blackbridge Agreement from the outset. As such, the Company believes that said Agreement is null and void, because it lacked the capacity to perform under the Blackbridge.

 

In 2014, the Company accrued $2,451 of interest expense associated with this note. As of December 31, 2014, the Note is in default.

 

f) Convertible Note Payable

 

On January 7, 2013, effective December 31, 2012, the Company, JV and Vulcan entered an agreement pursuant to which the JV Agreement was terminated, the Company issued to Vulcan a 4% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Forex Note") and Vulcan issued to the Company a 10% Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000. The Company recognized a debt discount in the amount of $100,000 for the difference in the face value of the note issued and the note received from the same party. The face value of the note payable is shown net of the debt discount. This debt discount will be amortized over the one-year life of the note. The note has a maturity date of December 31, 2013, and can be extended by the Company for an additional one year at which point the 4% interest rate will increase to 10% per annum. The Forex Note may be prepaid without penalty. The Forex Note conversion price is the Variable Conversion Price, which is defined as 50% multiplied by the average of the lowest three trading prices of the Company's common stock on the OTCBB during the 10-day trading period ending on the latest complete day of trading on the OTCBB prior to the date of conversion. The Variable Conversion Price cannot be less than $0.002 ($10,00 on a post-split basis). At no time will Vulcan convert any amount of the Forex Note into common stock that would result in Vulcan owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding of the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the entire debt discount has been amortized in the accompanying financial statements, and $20,000 of interest expense was accrued during the year ended December 31, 2013. An additional $43,561 of interest expense was accrued in fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The Company is negotiating an offset of the Forex Note against the note receivable from Vulcan as final satisfaction, and will recognize a gain or loss on its financial statements at that time.

 

On November 14, 2014 the Company and the holder of the Vulcan note entered into settlement agreement terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions of which the Company will issue the Holder post-split 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. Holder, at its sole option, at any time prior to June 30, 2015, may convert the Settlement Shares into Series D Preferred Shares with a stated value of $120,000, a conversion price of $0.12 and liquidation and dividend rights to be determined.

 

Note 9 - Income Taxes

 

The Company has accumulated net operating losses, which can be used to offset future earnings.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. A deferred tax asset for the future benefits of net operating losses and other differences is offset by a 100% valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize the losses. These net operating losses will expire in the years 2029 through 2033.

 

The Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $2,106,246 at December 31, 2014. These net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, based on certain changes in ownership that have occurred and that could occur in the future.

Following the issuance and delivery of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to said creditors, as well as surrendering the undelivered shares, the Settlement Agreement resulted in the settlement of all debts, liabilities and obligations between the parties.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share representing 3,000 posts split (15,000,000 pre-split) common shares. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock votes on an as converted basis and carries standard anti-dilution rights. These rights were subsequently removed, except in cases of stock dividends or splits.

 

Series C Preferred Shares

 

On April 29, 2011, GV Global Communications, Inc. (“GV”) provided funding to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $111,000 (the “Loan”).  On September 25, 2012, the Company and GV entered into a Conversion Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to convert the Loan into 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, which was approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of GV, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below).  The Conversion Price for each share is equal to a 50% discount to the average of the lowest three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 10 day trading period prior to the conversion with a minimum conversion price of $0.002.  The stated value is $11.00 per share (the “Stated Value”).  The Series C Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into.   GV has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Series C Preferred Stock and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that the number of shares of the Company's common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

Note 12 - Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  There is currently no litigation that management believes will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.

 

On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a set of agreements (collectively, the “Blackbridge Agreement”) with Blackbridge, a financial services firm. The Company and Blackbridge were discussing an equity line of credit, and the Company agreed to pay Blackbridge a commitment fee of 90,000,000 shares (18,000 shares post-split), and also issued a convertible note for $90,000 having a 5% interest rate that matures on December 16, 2014. The note can be converted after the maturity date. The conversion price is 90% multiplied by the market price, which is defined in the agreement as the lowest of the daily trading price for the common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The Company does not believe that the debt is valid and alleged that Blackbridge designed a contract as a fraud, but has accrued the notes on its financial statements to be conservative. The reason that it does not believe Agreement to be valid is that the parties agreed at the time that the agreement was signed that it would take 90-120 days to file an S-1 to register the shares needed for the equity line of credit. The Agreement states, however, that the Company has only 60 days from the date that the Agreement was signed to file an S-1 to register the shares, which the parties agreed was an impossible requirement to meet. The failure to meet that requirement was an event of default in the Agreement, and the counterparty, which could terminate the Agreement at its sole discretion, did not grant a waiver of this clause, despite knowing that that requirement was unrealistic, particularly given the Company’s thin cash position. The inability to register the shares within the required timeframe guaranteed the default of the Company under the Agreement from the outset. As such, the Company believes that said Agreement is therefore null and void, because the Company lacked the capacity at the outset to perform under the Agreement.

Note 13 - Per Share Information

 

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share of common stock (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 19,689 (98,445,000 pre-split)and 40,410 (202,049,290 pre-split), of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding, respectively. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at December 31, 2014 arise from (i) the issuance on December 7, 2011 of 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares which are convertible into 3,000 (15,000,000 pre-split) common shares, (ii) the issuance of the Rasel note which is convertible into pre-split 5,932 (29,660,000 pre-split) shares, (iii) the issuance of 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares having a stated value of $100 per share, of which 700 (shares remain unconverted, which remaining unconverted shares are convertible into 723 (3,615,000 pre-split) common shares, given recent market prices, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company's stock, and (iv) the issuance of a note to a third party Financier, which based on a theoretical conversion at December 31, 2014 would have converted into 2,749 (13,745,000 pre-split) shares of common stock and (iv) the issuance of a note to Blackbridge for their commitment fee, which based on a theoretical conversion at December 31, 2014 would have converted into 7,285 (36,425,000 pre-split) common shares. The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at December 31, 2013 arise from (i) the issuance on December 7, 2011 of 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares which are convertible into 3,000 (15,000,000 post-split) common shares, (ii) the issuance of the Rasel note which is convertible into 10,034 (50,171,042 pre-split) shares, (iii) the issuance of 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares having a stated value of $100 per share, of which 8,470 shares remain unconverted, which remaining unconverted shares are convertible into 9,317 (46,585,000 pre-split) common shares, given recent market prices, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company's stock, and (iv) the issuance of a $500,000 convertible note payable to Vulcan netted against the note receivable from Vulcan, which is convertible into 12,000 (60,000,000 pre-split) shares, given recent market prices, and notwithstanding a restriction against owning more than 4.99% of the Company's stock, and (iv) the issuance of a note to a third party Financier, which based on a theoretical conversion at December 31, 2013 would have converted into 6,059 (30,293,248 pre-split) shares of common stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net loss per common share.
