Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Description of Business

Worlds Online Inc. (the "Company") designs and develops software content and related technologies for the creation of interactive, three-dimensional ("3D") Internet sites on the World Wide Web. Using licensed technology the Company creates its own Internet sites, as well as sites available through third party on-line service providers. MariMed Advisors Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Worlds Online Inc. renders consulting services to individuals and companies seeking to apply for a license to operate medical marijuana dispensaries.

The Company was formed on January 25, 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.). On May 16, 2011, Worlds Inc. transferred to the Company the majority of its operations and related operational assets, except for its patent portfolio. Worlds Inc. has also given to the Company a perpetual world-wide license to its patented technology. Pursuant to the license, the Company has the right to issue unlimited sublicenses to the licensed technology, subject to World Inc.’s reasonable consent.

The assets transferred to us include: Worlds Inc.’s technology platform, Worlds Ultimate Chat, Aerosmith World, DMC Worlds, Cinema Virtual, Pearson contracts and related revenue, the following URLs: Worlds.com, Cybersexworld.com, Hang.com, and Worldsfunds.com, a digital inventory of over 10,000 3D objects, animation sequences, an extensive avatar library, texture maps and virtual world architectures. None of the transferred assets have any carrying value on the financial statements of the Company.

On May 19, 2014, Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MariMed”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a Massachusetts limited liability company, and the Members of Sigal (“Sellers”). The transaction was completely closed on September 29, 2014, and an 8-K was filed on October 3, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the interest in Sigal Consulting LLC through MariMed in consideration to Sellers for an aggregate amount of (i) The Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date; (ii) three million stock options of the Company to purchase the Company’s common stock which are exercisable over five years with various exercise price and (iii) 49% of MariMed’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date. As a result, the Company indirectly owned 100% of Sigal Consulting LLC through its 51% ownership in MariMed.

The transaction is accounted for as a purchase acquisition/merger wherein the Company is both accounting acquirer and legal acquirer. Accordingly, the accounting acquirer records the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of the merger and the portion that fair value of common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Signal is recorded as goodwill, which is impaired in full subsequently. 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and marketing of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. Worlds Online Inc. was not able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which had a material adverse effect on Worlds Online Inc., including requiring Worlds Online Inc. to reduce operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 these estimates.

Trading Securities

Trading securities are common stock in publicly traded companies, one that was received as compensation for performing consulting services. The other was purchased as an investment. The carrying value of the investments is the market price of the shares at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Any unrealized gain or loss are recorded under other income/(expense) in the accompanying statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market instruments, which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Revenue Recognition

During the quarter the Company had the following source of revenue: VIP subscriptions to our Worlds Ultimate 3-D Chat service.   The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonable assured.  This will usually be in the form of a receipt of a customer’s acceptance indicating the product has been completed to their satisfaction except for development work and service revenue which is recognized when the services have been performed.  Deferred revenue represents cash payments received in advance to be recorded as revenue when earned.  The corresponding cost associated with those contracts is also deferred as deferred costs until the revenue is ultimately recognized. 

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs will be charged to operations as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment will be stated at cost.   Depreciation will be provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income.  Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense in the period incurred.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Accounts Payable Related Party

Accounts payable related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Inc. on behalf of Worlds Online Inc. for shared operating expenses.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents advance payments for the license, the design and development of the software, content and related technology for the creation of an interactive, 3D entertainment portal on the internet.  

Extinguishment of liabilities

The Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with the guidance set forth in section 405-20 of the FASB ASC 405-20. Extinguishments of Liabilities When the conditions are met for the extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the extinguishment is recognized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC (“ASC 740”). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

Related Party Transactions

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB ASC for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB ASC which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.

Loss Per Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.  Convertible debentures and preferred stock conversions are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share. In addition, stock options totaling 8,650,000 shares are excluded as well, since the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease loss per share. Therefore no diluted loss per share figures is presented.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. 

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the technology industries, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel.

The Company is subject to the risk surrounding the uncertainty of entering into a business which is based upon a product which is still illegal at the federal level. 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. 

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the period ended September 30, 2014.

Acquisition

On September 29, 2014 the registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary, MariMed Advisors Inc. ("MariMed"), acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Sigal Consulting LLC ("Sigal") from its members, The purchase price, which will distributed pro rata to the sellers as per their ownership interests of Sigal, consisted of 31,954,236 shares of the registrant's common stock, 3 million five-year options to purchase additional shares of the registrant's common stock at prices ranging from $0.15 - $0.35 per share and which vest over two years and 49% of MariMed's outstanding equity. The fair value of the common stock issued was $5,911,534 determined by the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the closing date, at a price of approximately $0.185 per share. The fair value of the stock options was $569,682 measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the grant date, assuming approximately 1.56% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 311% volatility, and expected life of five years. The fair value of common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Signal is recorded as goodwill, which is impaired in full subsequently. One of the owners of Sigal, Robert Fireman, is a director of the Company. 

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue From Contracts WIth Customers.” This amendment outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The new guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in GAAP. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements up to ASU 2014-15, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

NOTE 13 - SEGMENTS

The Company determined that it did not operate in any material, separately reportable operating segments as of September 30, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 14 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Worlds Online Inc. has had only minimal revenues from operations, has a negative working capital, has a negative stockholders deficit and negative cash flows from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to fully implement its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company is pursuing sources of additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing will likely have a material adverse effect on the Company, including possibly requiring the Company to reduce and/or cease operations.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Overview

General

We are a 3D entertainment portal which leverages its proprietary technology to offer visitors a network of virtual, multi-user environments which we call "worlds". These worlds are visually engaging online environments featuring animation, motion and content where people can come together and, by navigating through the website, shop, interact with others, attend events and be entertained.

 Sites using our technology allow numerous simultaneous visitors to enter, navigate and share interactive "worlds". Our 3D Internet sites are designed to promote frequent, repeat and prolonged visitation by users by providing them with unique online communities featuring dynamic graphics, highly useful and entertaining information content, and interactive capabilities. We believe that our sites are highly attractive to advertisers because they offer access to demographic-specific user bases comprised of people that visit the site frequently and stay for relatively long periods of time.

We were formed on January 25, 2011 and effective May 16, 2011 Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.) transferred to us a substantial portion of its operational assets and granted us a world-wide license to its existing, and future, 3-D related patent portfolio. Accordingly, we have only had operations of our own since May 16, 2011. Our fiscal year ends on December 31.

On May 19, 2014, Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MariMed”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a Massachusetts limited liability company, and the Members of Sigal (“Sellers”). The transaction was completely closed on September 29, 2014, and an 8-K was filed on October 3, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the interest in Sigal Consulting LLC through MariMed in consideration to Sellers for an aggregate amount of (i) The Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date; (ii) three million stock options of the Company to purchase the Company’s common stock which are exercisable over five years with various exercise price and (iii) 49% of MariMed’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date. As a result, the Company indirectly owned 100% of Sigal Consulting LLC through its 51% ownership in MariMed.

The transaction is accounted for as a purchase acquisition/merger wherein the Company is both accounting acquirer and legal acquirer. Accordingly, the accounting acquirer records the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of the merger and the portion that fair value of common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Signal is recorded as goodwill, which is impaired in full subsequently.

Revenues

One source of revenues derives from the entry into development agreement with clients in which a development, license and maintenance fee is paid for the creation and administration of a 3D virtual world to be offered to a select user base.

In other types of joint venture agreements we would agree to fund the development costs in return for recoupment of development costs on first monies in from ongoing participation in VIP, advertising and sponsorship revenue.

VIP revenues are funds, typically $2 - $6 per month, charged to users for either an enhanced avatar with additional virtual clothes and virtual goods or access to VIP only areas of the virtual World. To illustrate, in Worlds Inc. creation of Aerosmith World, only VIP members have access to Steven Tyler’s studio and his secret world, providing VIP members a greater opportunity to meet Mr.Tyler when he is online as well as mingle with other VIP guests and watch Aerosmith music videos in the VIP media lounge.

Our financial statements currently reflect an entry called “deferred revenue”. This is specific to the conversion of a note Worlds Inc. issued to Pearson PLC in 1996 in the initial face amount of $1,263,900. Pearson has agreed to forgive 50% of the note and convert the balance of the note into deferred revenue for products and services Worlds Inc. develops for Pearson in the form of virtual worlds for training and distant learning. Each product Worlds Inc. develops for Pearson has been reviewed and accepted by a senior Pearson executive as part of an ongoing internal sales and capabilities program between various divisions within Pearson. As part of the Spin-off we assumed this obligation and intend to continue to pay down the debt by providing additional products and services.

Revenue that was generated resulted from VIP subscriptions to the Worlds Ultimate 3-D Chat service.

Expenses

We classify our expenses into two broad groups:

• cost of revenues; and

• selling, general and administration. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We raised a small amount of capital to enable us to begin upgrading our technology, develop new products and actively solicit additional business.  We expect to continue to pursue additional sources of capital though we have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing at this time and there can be no assurance that any such financing will become available. If we cannot raise additional capital, form an alliance of some nature with another entity, or start to generate sufficient revenues, we may need to scale back operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $233 and $352, respectively. Our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $677 and $691, respectively.

Three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to three months ended September 30, 2013

Revenue decreased by $119 to $233 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $352 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Revenue was from VIP subscriptions. We need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to continue running the business.

Cost of revenues decreased by $600 to $2,400 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Decrease is due to a reduction in the hosting fees.

Selling general and administrative (SG&A) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $3,785 to $45,841 from $42,056 in the prior year.

Payroll and related taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $4,375 to $48,125 from $43,750. The increase is due to a ten percent increase in the CEO’s salary based upon his employment agreement with the Company.

Common stock issued for services rendered decreased by $7,500 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $7,500 last year. The decrease is due to the agreements that the Company entered into in 2012 ending in 2013.

We recorded interest expense from the notes of $24,016 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. 

We had an unrealized loss on trading securities of $2,124 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a realized gain on trading securities of $4,484 and an unrealized gain on trading securities of $5,990 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

We had a loss on goodwill impairment of $6,515,990 due to the acquisition of Sigal Consulting LLC by our wholly owned subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. Fourty nine percent of that loss is attributable to noncontrolling shareholders.

As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, we realized a net loss of $3,445,428 attributable to Worlds Online common shareholders, compared to a loss of $85,480 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increased loss of $3,359,948.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2013

Revenue decreased by $14 to $677 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $691 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Revenue was from VIP subscriptions. We need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to continue running the business.

Cost of revenues decreased by $13,985 to $7,300 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $21,285 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Decrease is due to software development fees incurred in prior year whereby this year the cost includes hosting fees only.

Selling general and administrative (SG&A) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $4,789 to $145,143 from $140,354 in the prior year.

Payroll and related taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $2,347 to $144,375 from $142,028. The increase is due to a ten percent increase in the CEO’s salary based upon his employment agreement offset by having an additional employee in a portion of the prior year that no longer works for the Company.

Common stock issued for services rendered decreased by $89,000 to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $89,000 last year. The decrease is due to the agreements that the Company entered into in 2012 ending in 2013.

Other expenses include options expense to directors which was $35,999 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $3,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Increase is due to adding a new Director in 2014.

Interest expense from the notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $25,315, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt $19,078 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we realized a net loss of $3,702,617 attributable to Worlds Online common shareholders, compared to a loss of $383,325 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increased loss of $3,319,292.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was $1,577,803 at September 30, 2014. There were no capital expenditures in the three months ending September 30, 2014. 

We were able to raise $1,550,000 by issuing unsecured convertible notes during the third quarter of 2014.  We continue to pursue additional sources of capital though we have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing at this time and there can be no assurance that any such financing will become available. If we cannot raise additional capital, form an alliance of some nature with another entity, or start to generate sufficient revenues, we may need to once again scale back operations.
