Basis of Presentation – On February 13, 2012, Acquired Sales Corp. (“Acquired Sales” or the “Company”) purchased 100% of the equity interests of Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. (“DSTG”). On September 30, 2013 Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of DSTG to Minh Le, the previous owner of DSTG prior to its acquisition. DSTG’s results of operations have been included in the Company's operations from February 14, 2012 through September 30, 2013 and have been reclassified as discontinued operations.
On January 12, 2013, Acquired Sales entered into an agreement with Drumright Group, LLC (“Drumright”) that was closed on February 11, 2013, wherein Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of Cogility Software Corporation (“Cogility”) to Drumright. The historical results of Cogility’s results of operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations.
Condensed Financial Statements – The accompanying financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2014. In particular, the nature of operations and significant accounting principles were presented in Note 1 to the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Acquired Sales for all periods presented, the accounts and discontinued operations of Cogility Software Corporation through February 11, 2013 and the accounts and discontinued operations of Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. from February 14, 2012 through September 30, 2013. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

There were 2,148,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. There were 2,173,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 2 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company has a history of recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $7,093,561 as of March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized a loss of $75,345 from continuing operations. The Company used $45,344 of cash in its operating activities from continuing operations. The sale of Cogility and DSTG eliminated the Company’s source of revenue. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will not need additional financing, that the Company will be profitable in the future or that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At December 31, 2012 the Company had recorded accrued compensation that included $570,979 in deferred payroll and vacation pay, and payroll taxes payable, $110,777 in employee reimbursements payable, and commissions payable to one current and one former employee in the aggregate amount of $198,967. Under the terms of the sale of Cogility, all but $100,000 of the accrued compensation was paid on the date of sale. The Company determined that the additional accrued compensation of $100,000 was no longer necessary and reversed the accrual at December 31, 2013.
On September 13, 2011, a key executive resigned his position and entered into a severance agreement with the Company. On September 16, 2010, the Company had signed a letter agreeing to pay the former executive officer $47,000 in one-time commissions. Under the severance agreement the Company was also obligated to pay the former executive officer a one-time bonus of $35,000 and deferred compensation of $18,432. The liabilities were paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2013.
F-8
NOTE 4 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On October 17, 2013 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Matthew Ghourdjian and the Deborah Sue Ghourdjian Separate Property Trust, whereby Mr. Ghourdjian and the Trust sold to the Company 690,796 shares of common stock for $30,000 cash plus an obligation to pay an additional $20,000 in February 2014, or approximately $0.07 per share. Mr. Ghourdjian resigned from the Company as an employee, director and officer. Mr. Ghourdjian and the Trust, and the Company entered into mutual releases of all claims against one another.
The Company had 2,148,774 stock options outstanding at March 31, 2014 at a weighted average exercise price of $2.32 a share, a weighted average remaining contractual term of 5.54 years and an aggregrate intrinsic value of $87,375.
The Company had 938,000 warrants outstanding at March 31, 2014 at a weighted average exercise price of $2.35 a share, a weighted average remaining contractual term of 2.61 years and no aggregrate intrinsic value.
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these other matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 6– SALE OF SUBSIDIARIES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Cogility Software Corporation – On January 12, 2013, Acquired Sales entered into an agreement with Drumright Group, LLC (“Drumright”) that was closed on February 11, 2013, wherein Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of its subsidiary, Cogility Software Corporation (“Cogility”) to Drumright in exchange for $3,975,000 in cash and a $3,000,000 receivable. The $3,000,000 was originally receivable as follows: $1,500,000 on August 11, 2013, less an estimated $32,258 in connection with a certain military contract delay, and $1,500,000 on February 11, 2014. In addition, Acquired Sales was required to hold $300,000 in an escrow account for potential subsequent claims. Acquired Sales was responsible for all costs and expenses and retained all accounts receivable relating to work performed by Cogility on revenue contracts through January 31, 2013, with those costs, expenses and revenue transitioning to Drumright thereafter. Acquired Sales retained a contract to create “legal analytics” software. The carrying value of Cogility’s net liabilities, excluding accounts receivable, was $32,899.
Under the terms of the agreement, Acquired Sales was required to transfer Cogility to Drumright without any liabilities. To accomplish this requirement, the $3,975,000 down payment was placed into an escrow account and to the extent necessary was used to pay Cogility’s liabilities, including liabilities that were secured by Cogility’s assets or its capital stock.
F-9
The Company agreed to indemnify Drumright for losses caused by breach of the Company’s representations and warranties. In March 2013, Drumright notified the Company of the existence of a second amendment to a license agreement between Cogility and one of its customers that was effective April 2007. On July 16, 2013 the parties entered into a Compromise and Release agreement whereby the parties agreed to reduce the purchase price by $2,000,000 by reducing the $3,000,000 receivable to $1,000,000 due and paid on February 11, 2014. As a result of the Compromise and Release agreement, the Company reduced the gain on disposal of discontinued operations relating to the sale of Cogility to $5,077,899.
The historical results of Cogility’s operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations. Operating results of Cogility included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:

The Company has a history of recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $7,093,561 as of March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company suffered losses from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and used cash in its operating activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Additionally, as discussed in Notes 2 and 6, the Company sold 100% of the capital stock of its subsidiaries, Cogility Software Corporation and Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc., which were its primary source of revenue. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Overview
Acquired Sales Corp. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.
On January 12, 2013, Acquired Sales entered into an agreement with Drumright Group, LLC (“Drumright”) that was closed on February 11, 2013, wherein Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of its subsidiary, Cogility Software Corporation (“Cogility”) to Drumright in exchange for $3,975,000 in cash and a $3,000,000 receivable. The $3,000,000 was originally receivable as follows: $1,500,000 on August 11, 2013, less an estimated $32,258 in connection with a certain military contract delay, and $1,500,000 on February 11, 2014. In addition, Acquired Sales was required to hold $300,000 in an escrow account for potential subsequent claims. Acquired Sales was responsible for all costs and expenses and retained all accounts receivable relating to work performed by Cogility on revenue contracts through January 31, 2013, with those costs, expenses and revenue transitioning to Drumright thereafter. Acquired Sales retained a contract to create “legal analytics” software. The carrying value of Cogility’s net liabilities, excluding accounts receivable, was $32,899.
Under the terms of the agreement, Acquired Sales was required to transfer Cogility to Drumright without any liabilities. To accomplish this requirement, the $3,975,000 down payment was placed into an escrow account and to the extent necessary was used to pay Cogility’s liabilities, including liabilities that were secured by Cogility’s assets or its capital stock.
The Company agreed to indemnify Drumright for losses caused by breach of the Company’s representations and warranties. In March 2013, Drumright notified the Company of the existence of a second amendment to a license agreement between Cogility and one of its customers that was effective April 2007. On July 16, 2013 the parties entered into a Compromise and Release agreement whereby the parties agreed to reduce the purchase price by $2,000,000 by reducing the $3,000,000 receivable to $1,000,000 due on February 11, 2014. As a result of the Compromise and Release agreement, the Company reduced the gain on disposal of discontinued operations relating to the sale of Cogility to $5,077,899, of which $3,731,389 was recognized through March 31, 2013.
On February 13, 2012, Acquired Sales purchased 100% of the equity interests of Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. (“DSTG”). The results of DSTG’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since February 13, 2012. On September 30, 2013 Acquired Sales sold 100% of the common stock of DSTG back to the previous shareholder for $1. The Company recognized a loss on sale of $104,946 during the year ended December 31, 2013 and a gain of $7,941 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The Company is actively negotiating potential acquisitions of certain companies that supply capital and consulting expertise to not-for-profit entities that are licensed to grow and dispense medical marijuana in certain states, and of certain companies that are licensed to grow and dispense medical marijuana in certain other states. No assurances or guarantees whatsoever can be made as to whether any of such acquisitions will be successfully consummated, nor on what terms.
If the Company does acquire one or more companies involved in the medical marijuana industry, then it is highly likely that the Company will be required to raise a substantial amount of equity capital and/or debt capital in connection with those acquisitions, which could result in substantial dilution for existing shareholders of the Company. No assurances whatsoever can be made that such acquisitions would result in profitability of the Company, nor what the impacts would be on the Company's balance sheet, income statement, or stock price.
In addition, marijuana is classified as a controlled substance by the U.S. federal government, and any entrance by the Company into the medical marijuana industry may trigger material legal and financial risks for the Company. Under certain scenarios, these material legal and financial risks could result in a shutdown or bankruptcy of the Company.
This Form 10-Q does not attempt to describe all of the numerous material risks and uncertainties associated with any possible entrance by the Company into the medical marijuana industry. If the Company does enter into the medical marijuana industry, then shareholders and potential shareholders are expressly cautioned that such participation will entail such numerous material risks and uncertainties, and associated "Risk Factors" will need to be set forth in subsequent filings by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cannot provide any assurances whatsoever in regard to the potential negative legal, regulatory, financial and operational risks to the Company associated with the potential entrance by the Company into the medical marijuana industry. You are urged to use caution in your evaluation of the Company's stock, and to seek the advice of competent legal and financial advisors in regard to the medical marijuana industry, which is currently in a state of rapid change and involves many variables, which are beyond the Company's control.
3
The Company further cautions you that as the recreational use of marijuana is permitted in certain states, that the medical marijuana industry is likely to be subjected to even more intense scrutiny and oversight by elected officials, legislative bodies, courts, law enforcement agencies, and community groups. The Company cannot provide any assurances whatsoever in regard to the future potential negative impacts of such intensified scrutiny and oversight.
If for any reason the Company does not enter into the medical marijuana industry, then the Company will continue to seek acquisitions in various industries including but not limited to manufactured housing communities, self-storage facilities, apartment complexes, innovative patented devices, or other industries.

No assurances or guarantees whatsoever can be made as to whether any of such acquisitions will be successfully consummated, nor on what terms.

Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Significant estimates include share-based compensation forfeiture rates and the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized for financial reporting purposes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
5
Income Taxes – Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. There were 2,148,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. There were 2,173,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.
Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these other matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
6
Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As indicated in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting has not changed at March 31, 2014. There existed a lack of segregation of duties in regard to the Company’s financial reporting, procedures for depositing of funds, procedures for cash disbursements, procedures for checkbook entries, period close procedures, and procedures for financial statement preparation that result in material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
To the best knowledge of the officers and directors, the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding or litigation.
Not required.
