NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobiquity Networks, Inc., Ace Marketing, Inc., (which has had its name changed to Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. and Mobiquity Wireless S.L.U.). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto are unaudited.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared by us without audit, and in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of March 31, 2014, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, and determined there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

The information contained in this report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of March 31, 2014 and 2013. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory note, approximated fair value as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and their market interest rates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States.  Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since the Company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Advance payments made by customers are included in customer deposits.

The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred.

Additional source of revenue, derived from emails/texts directly to consumers are recognized under contractual arrangements. Revenue from this advertising method is recognized at the time of service provided.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Management must make estimates of the uncollectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

INVENTORY – Inventory is recorded at cost (First In, First Out) and is comprised of finished goods. The Company maintains an inventory on hand for its largest customer’s frequent order items. All items held are branded for the customer, therefore are not available for public distribution. The Company has an agreement with this customer, for cost recovery, if vendor relationship is terminated. There has been no reserves placed on inventory, based on this arrangement.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining term of the lease. The costs of additions and improvements, which substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and the gain or loss on disposition is reflected in operating income.

LONG LIVED ASSETS - Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY - Website technology developed during the year was capitalized for the period of development and testing. Expenditures during the planning stage and after implementation have been expensed in accordance with ASC985.

ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 there were advertising costs of $288 and $600, respectively.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”) and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed (“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.  

BENEFICIAL CONVERSIONS - Debt instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as deemed interest to the holders of the convertible debt instruments. The beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the debt instrument limited to the value received. The beneficial conversion amount is recorded as interest expense and an increase to additional paid-in-capital.  The beneficial conversion has been fully accreted to the face value of the original loan and interest expense has been recognized.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We own a subsidiary in Europe. Our subsidiary’s functional currency is the EURO. All transactions initiated in EUROs are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements,” as follows:

Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income.

No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded since March 7, 2013 (date of acquisition of subsidiary) to March 31, 2014.

INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities for which income tax or tax benefits are expected to be realized in future years. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

NOTE 3: LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share gives effect to stock options and warrants, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic loss per common share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 33,554,000 and 21,123,000 because they are anti-dilutive as a result of a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 4: CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

On June 12, 2012, the Company closed on a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with TCA related to a $350,000 convertible promissory note issued by the Company in favor of TCA (the “Convertible Note”). The maturity date of the Convertible Note was December 2013, and the Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The Convertible Note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the average of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. The Convertible Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty. The Security Agreement granted to TCA a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobiquity Networks, Inc., also entered into a similar Security Agreement and Guaranty Agreement. On December 12, 2013, TCA sold its entire interest in the Company’s $350,000 secured promissory note to Thomas Arnost, a director of the Company, at face value. Mr. Arnost entered into an amendment to the note to extend the maturity date of the note to June 12, 2014, subject to his right to declare the note due and payable at any time in his sole discretion. Also, the interest rate was raised from 12% per annum to 15% and the conversion price of the shares issuable upon conversion of the note was fixed at $.30 per share. The aforementioned note is convertible at the sole discretion of the noteholder. The noteholder immediately converted $28,000 into 93,334 shares of common stock in December 2013. The principal balance on the note is $322,000 as of March 31, 2014, interest is paid monthly.

The Company evaluated the terms of the new note in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the note and was deemed to be less than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the note. Therefore, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $116,667. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital and recognized interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE 5: STOCK COMPENSATION

Compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements utilizing the straight line method for the cost of these awards.

The Company's results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include employee share-based compensation expense totaling $1,091,052 and $132,180, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within selling, general and administrative expenses. No income tax benefit has been recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation arrangements due to a history of operating losses.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

NOTE 6: STOCK OPTION PLAN

 During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan") for the granting of up to 2,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 4,000,000. During Fiscal 2009, the Company established a plan of long-term stock-based compensation incentives for selected Eligible Participants of the Company covering 4,000,000 shares. This plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by stockholders in October 2009 and shall be known as the 2009 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan"). In September 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares covered by the 2009 Plan to 10,000,000. (The 2005 and 2009 Plans are collectively referred to as the “Plans” and the Company has a combined 14,000,000 shares available for issuance under the Plans.)

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For option grants, the Company will take into consideration payments subject to the provisions of ASC 718 "Stock Compensation", previously Revised SFAS No. 123 "Share-Based Payment" ( "SFAS 123 (R)"). The fair values of these restricted stock awards are equal to the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant, after taking into certain discounts. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously, such assumptions were determined based on historical data.

The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options granted under the Plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $.27 and $.36, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at March 31, 2014 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company's common stock for the shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $0.49 closing price of the Company's common stock on March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was $69,030.

The weighted average assumptions made in calculating the fair value of warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

NOTE 7: CONSULTING AGREEMENTS AND SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

For the year 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,402,969 shares in connection with business advisory services, at a fair market value of $1,048,091.

In January 2013, the Company issued to consultants, warrants to purchase 600,000 shares exercisable at $.30 per share through January 2017. In June 2013, the Company issued to consultants, options to purchase 500,000 shares exercisable at $.30 per share through April 11, 2018.

In February 2013, the Company entered into an additional financial consulting agreement for a period of 90 days. Pursuant to said agreement, the Company agreed to pay $5,000 per month and to issue 100,000 restricted shares of common stock during the term of the agreement.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a business development and consulting contract for a term commencing in April and expiring December 31, 2013. Pursuant to said agreement, the Company agreed to pay the consultant a fee of $5,000 per month, plus 1,500,000 shares of restricted Common Stock and warrants to purchase 500,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $.30 per share, over a period of five years. The warrants contain cashless exercise provisions in the event there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares.

On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to perform financial related services and to assist the Company in raising additional financing. For the consultant’s services, the consultant received, irrespective of success or the amount raised, $65,000 paid on or before December 31, 2013; $150,000 paid on or about March 31, 2014 together with warrants to purchase 700,000 shares at an exercise price of $.30 per share over a term of five years; and 150,000 shares of restricted Common Stock issuable on April 1, 2014.

On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a term of six months. Pursuant to the consulting contract, the Company agreed to pay a monthly retainer of $10,000 beginning November 1, 2013 and up to 350,000 shares and up to $100,000 in discretionary bonuses. Of the 350,000 shares, 90,000 shares were issued in December 2013 and the remaining 260,000 shares were issued in February 2014. The $100,000 discretionary bonus was paid in the first quarter of 2014. In February 2014, the board of directors approved and the Company entered into an amendment to the consulting agreement, to extend the contract for an additional three months through July 31, 2014. During the extension period, the Company will continue to pay consultant a fee of $10,000 per month and the consultant is eligible to receive the same discretionary bonuses of up to 350,000 shares (or warrants) and up to an additional $100,000 in discretionary cash bonuses.

NOTE 8: PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On July 10, 2012, the Company sold 1,347,201 shares of its Common Stock to various investors at $.45 per share subject to certain anti-dilution rights for a period of twenty four months. Due to the Company’s November 2012 offering at $.30 per share as described below, the Company issued an additional 673,598 shares pursuant to the aforementioned anti-dilution rights. The Company received gross proceeds of $606,240 before offering costs. Each investor received Fixed Price Warrants to purchase 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Offering. The Fixed Price Warrants are exercisable at any time from the date of issuance through July 10, 2017 at an exercise price of $.55. Each investor also received a Warrant to purchase 20% of the number of shares that were purchased in the Offering (the “Milestone Warrants”). The Milestone Warrants were automatically exercised without any additional consideration to be paid since the Company reported audited gross revenues of less than $5,000,000 for the period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. In August 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 258,327 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Milestone Warrants. Exemption from registration for the sale of securities is claimed under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On March 31, 2013, the Company issued 528,000 shares of Common Stock automatically upon the conversion of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. Exemption from registration was claimed under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as an exchange of securities of the same issuer without any compensation being paid.

During 2013, the Company raised $5,562,816 in gross proceeds from the sale of its Common Stock at $.30 per share. Pursuant to said offering, the Company sold 19,125,006 shares of its Common Stock and Class BB Warrants to purchase 9,562,503 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $.50 per share through December 15, 2017. A total of $150,000 of commissions was paid to a licensed member of FINRA together with Warrants to purchase 625,000 shares. Exemption from registration for the sale of the aforementioned securities is claimed under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Thomas Arnost, Sean Trepeta and Sean McDonnell, officers and directors of the Company, purchased $200,000, $90,000 and $50,000, respectively, of securities pursuant to said offering.

Between January 1, 2014 and the date of this report, the Company has raised gross proceeds of $2,160,300 from the sale of its Common Stock (including $175,000 of the stock subscription receivables) at $.30 per share. In connection with this private placement offering, the Company has issued 7,201,000 shares of Common Stock and Class BB Warrants to purchase 3,600,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share through December 15, 2017.

On March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital Fund LLC as described in Note 15. On that date, Aspire Capital agreed to pay $500,000 to the Company for an initial purchase of 1,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock. These 1,000,000 restricted shares, plus a commitment fee of an additional 1,000,000 shares, for a total of 2,000,000 shares were issued in April 2014 to Aspire Capital.

NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Reportable operating segment is determined based on Mobiquity Technologies, Inc.'s management approach. The management approach, as defined by accounting standards which have been codified into FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting,” is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making decisions about resources to be allocated and assessing their performance. Our chief operating decision-maker is our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

While our results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker also manages the enterprise in two operating segments: (i) Ace Marketing and Promotions, Inc. captures Branding & Branded Merchandise (ii) Mobiquity Networks represent our Mobile Marketing. 

Corporate management defines and reviews segment profitability based on the same allocation methodology as presented in the segment data tables below:

All intersegment sales and expenses have been eliminated from the table above.

NOTE 10: EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

On March 1, 2005, the Company entered into employment contracts with two of its officers, namely, Dean L. Julia and Michael D. Trepeta. The employment agreements provide for minimum annual salaries plus bonuses equal to 5% of pre-tax earnings (as defined) and other perquisites commonly found in such agreements. In addition, pursuant to the employment contracts, the Company granted the officers options to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock.

On August 22, 2007, the Company approved a three year extension of the employment contracts with two of its officers expiring on February 28, 2011. The employment agreements provided for minimum annual salaries with scheduled increases per annum to occur on every anniversary date of the contract and extension commencing on March 1, 2008. A signing bonus of options to purchase 150,000 shares granted to each executive were fully vested at the date of the grant and exercisable at $1.20 per share through August 22, 2017. Ten year options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock are to be granted at fair market value on each anniversary date of the contract and extension commencing March 1, 2008. Termination pay of one year base salary based upon the scheduled annual salary of each executive officer for the next contract year, plus the amount of bonuses paid (or entitle to be paid) to the executive for the current fiscal year of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher.

On April 7, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a five-year extension of the employment contract of Dean L. Julia and Michael D. Trepeta to expire on March 1, 2015.  The Board approved the continuation of each officer’s current salary and scheduled salary increases on March 1^st of each year. The Board also approved a signing bonus of stock options to purchase 200,000 shares granted to each officer which is fully vested at the date of grant and exercisable at $.50 per share through April 7, 2020; ten-year stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock to be granted to each officer at fair market value on each anniversary date of the contract and extension thereof commencing March 1, 2011; and termination pay of one year base salary based upon the scheduled annual salary of each executive officer for the next contract year plus the amount of bonuses paid or entitled to be paid to the executive for the current fiscal year or the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher.  In the event of termination, the executives will continue to receive all benefits included in the employment agreement through the scheduled expiration date of said employment agreement prior to the acceleration of the termination date thereof.

In July 2012, the Company approved and in January 2013 the Company implemented amending the employment agreements of Messrs. Julia and M. Trepeta to expire on February 28, 2017, subject to an automatic one year renewal on March 1, 2013 and on each March 1^st thereafter, unless the Employment Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms on or before December 30^th of the prior calendar year. In the event of termination without cause, the executives will continue to receive all salary and benefits included in the employment agreement through the scheduled expiration date of said employment agreement prior to the acceleration of the termination date thereof, plus one year termination pay.

On May 28, 2013, the Company approved amending the employment agreements of Messrs. Julia and Trepeta to provide that each officer may choose an annual bonus equal to 5% of pre-tax earnings for the most recently completed year before deduction of annual bonuses paid to officers or, in the event majority control of the Company is acquired by a person or a group of persons during the prior fiscal year, the officer may choose to receive the aforementioned bonus or 1% of the control consideration paid by acquirer(s) to acquire majority control of the Company.

NOTE 11: FACILITIES

In February 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement for new executive office space of approximately 4,200 square feet located at 600 Old Country Road, Suite 541, Garden City, NY 11530.   The lease agreement is for 63 months, commencing April 2012 and expiring June 2017. The annual rent under this office facility for the first year is estimated at $127,000, including electricity, subject to an annual increase of 3%. In the event of a default in which the Company is evicted from the office space, Mobiquity would be responsible to the landlord for an additional payment of rent of $160,000 in the first year of the lease, an additional payment of $106,667 in the second year of the lease and an additional payment of rent of $53,333 in the third year of the lease. Such additional rent would be payable at the discretion of the Company in cash or in Common Stock of the Company.

The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases in Farmingville, NY expiring in November 2014. The Company is obligated for the payment of real estate taxes under these leases. The Company is also currently leasing additional office space on a month-to-month basis. The Company also leases approximately 1,200 square feet of office and warehouse space in Spain at a monthly cost of approximately $2,200. Minimum future rentals under non-cancelable lease commitments are as follows:

Rent and real estate tax expense was approximately $292,700 and $190,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 12: ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN ASSETS OF FUTURLINK

In March 2013, the Company formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobiquity Wireless, SLU in Spain. Mobiquity Wireless then acquired the assets of FuturLink at a cost of approximately $160,200, which cash was paid from the Company’s current working capital. These assets include, without limitation, the FuturLink technology (U.S. patents and source codes), trademark(s) and access point (proximity marketing) component parts.

As the technology owner, the Company realized immediate benefits and will leverage the hardware and software included in its purchase to expand its mall-based footprint in the United States. The acquisition of FuturLink’s technology and corresponding U.S. patents provides the Company with the flexibility and autonomy to; improve, upgrade and integrate new ideas and cutting edge technologies into its existing platform. This will allow the Company to evolve as new technologies emerge.

The Company believes that the intellectual property of FuturLink which is now owned by the Company will be a valuable asset to the Company as it moves forward with its technology platform. In the event our intellectual property positions are challenged, invalidated, circumvented or expire, or if we fail to prevail in future intellectual property litigation, our business could be adversely affected.  Our success depends in part on our ability to defend our intellectual property rights. Third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate or circumvent our intellectual property rights. In addition, our intellectual property positions might not protect us against competitors with similar products or technologies because competing products or technologies may not infringe our intellectual property rights.  Also, there are third parties who have patents or pending patent applications that they may claim necessitate payment of a royalty or prevent us from commercializing our proprietary rights in certain territories. Intellectual property disputes are frequent, costly and can preclude, delay or increase the cost of commercialization of products and/or services.

NOTE 13: COMMITTED EQUITY FACILITY AGREEMENT/REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

On June 12, 2012, Ace Marketing& Promotions, Inc. (the “Company”) finalized a committed equity facility (the “Equity Facility”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TCA”), whereby the parties entered into as of May 31, 2012 (i) a committed equity facility agreement (the “Equity Agreement”) and (ii) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

Committed Equity Facility Agreement

On June 12, 2012, the Company finalized an Equity Agreement with TCA. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, for a period of twenty-four months commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined herein), TCA shall commit to purchase up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), pursuant to Advances (as defined below), covering the Registrable Securities (as defined below). The purchase price of the Shares under the Equity Agreement is equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days after the Company delivers to TCA an Advance notice in writing requiring TCA to advance funds (an “Advance”) to the Company, subject to the terms of the Equity Agreement.

The “Registrable Securities” include (i) the Shares; and (ii) any securities issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of exchange, stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise.

As further consideration for TCA entering into and structuring the Equity Facility, the Company shall pay to TCA a fee by issuing to TCA that number of shares of the Company’s common stock that equal a dollar amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the “Facility Fee Shares”). In the event the value of the Facility Fee Shares issued to TCA does not equal $100,000 after a ninth month evaluation date, the Equity Agreement provides for an adjustment provision allowing for necessary action to adjust the number of shares issued. In June 2012, the Company issued 196,078 shares of common stock as the initial Facility Fee Shares. In March 2013, TCA notified Ace that the facility fee of $100,000 needed to be paid in additional shares or cash. In this respect, the 196,078 shares of Common Stock previously advance by the Company to TCA toward the facility fee were sold by TCA and it realized net proceeds of approximately $48,000. In March 2013, the Company elected to pay the remaining facility fee in cash.

Registration Rights Agreement

On June 12, 2012, the Company finalized the Registration Rights Agreement with TCA. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC’) to cover the Registrable Securities. The Company must use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed by the Company with the SEC in March 2013 and was declared effective by the SEC in April 2013.

Termination of Committed Equity Facility Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

In March 2014, the Company and TCA agreed to terminate the Committed Equity Facility Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with no further obligations to each other. A total of 8,000 shares were sold pursuant to the Facility Agreement. On April 22, 2014, the Company removed from registration the unsold 4,992,000 shares of Common Stock.

NOTE 14: COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On March 31, 2014, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (referred to herein as the “Purchase Agreement”), with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (referred to herein as “Aspire Capital”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of our shares of common stock over the approximately 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Aspire Capital 1,000,000 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee (referred to in herein as the “Commitment Shares”). Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we sold to Aspire Capital 1,000,000 shares of common stock (referred to herein as the “Initial Purchase Shares”). Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital (referred to herein as the “Registration Rights Agreement”), in which we agreed to file one or more registration statements as permissible and necessary to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the sale of the shares of our common stock that have been and may be issued to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, we were obligated to register 15,000,000 shares of our Common Stock under the Securities Act, which includes the Commitment Shares and Initial Purchase Shares that have already been issued to Aspire Capital and an additional 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock which we may issue to Aspire Capital after the registration statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Said Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 28, 2014. See “Note 16” below.

Since April 28, 2014, the effective date of our Registration Statement, on any trading day on which the closing sale price of our Common Stock exceeds $0.16, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”), directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Common Stock per trading day, provided that the aggregate price of such purchase shall not exceed $250,000 per trading day, up to $15.0 million of our Common Stock in the aggregate at a per share price (the “Purchase Price”) calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our Common Stock (as more specifically described below).

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice for 200,000 shares to Aspire Capital and the closing sale price of our stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share of Common Stock , we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of the Company’s common stock traded on the OTCQB on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares we may determine (the “VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum”) and a minimum trading price (the “VWAP Minimum Price Threshold”) (as more specifically described below). The purchase price per Purchase Share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice (the “VWAP Purchase Price”) is calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our common stock (as more specifically described below).

The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital shall not affect any sales under the Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of our common stock is less than $0.16 per share (the “Floor Price”). This Floor Price and the respective prices and share numbers in the preceding paragraphs shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as we direct in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any penalty or cost to us.

NOTE 15: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In August 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant in which the Company issued 66,000 shares of its then restricted Common Stock to the consultant in exchange for $40,000 of technology services. Since August 2011 and prior to the consultant’s owner joining the Company as an employee, the consultant performed additional services and the parties have agreed that 34,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock is payable to the consultant in the second quarter of 2014.

As described in Note 15 above, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement to register the resale of up to 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable under the common stock purchase agreement, including the 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued under said agreement for the Initial Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares. See “Note 8.” The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2014.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q for appropriate accounting and disclosures.

Company Overview

 The Company is an advertising technology (Ad Tech) company focusing on connecting Fans (consumers) and Brands through a single platform utilizing Online, Social and Mobile. Mobiquity leverages leading edge mobile technologies including Bluetooth (Push & Beacon BLE), Wi-Fi, NFC (Near Field Communications) and QR (Quick Response) code and employs propriety devices through retail environments to build physical networks. Assets are managed in a single platform creating a new class of consumer engagement and data intelligence.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ace Marketing, Inc., changed its name to Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. in September 2013 when our parent corporation, Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. changed its name from Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. to its current name. Our subsidiary, Ace, is an Integrated Marketing Company focused on marketing process analysis and technology-based growth acceleration strategies. Ace offers Brand Analysis & Development, Website Analysis & Development, Database Analysis & Building, and Integrated Marketing Campaigns using: direct mail, email marketing, mobile marketing, promotional products and other mediums that help its clients connect with their customers and acquire new business.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since the Company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Advance payments made by customers are included in customer deposits.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. We are required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the realizability of our accounts receivable. We make these assessments based on the following factors: (a) historical experience, (b) customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, (d) current economic conditions, and (e) changes in customer payment terms.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.  The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions.  These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”) and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed (“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.  

Plan of Operation

The Company has evolved from an integrated marketing company to an advertising technology company. Through an increase in both physical and human resources, the Company believes it has built an infrastructure that Management believes is ready to achieve significant revenues through the deployment of its Mobi-Units, Mobi-Beacons and Mobi-Tags as described in “Business.” In this respect, our mall network has expanded to 100 malls and we have increased our employment base and technical staff to 27 employees. In 2013, we upgraded our technology through the improvements offered by Bluetooth 4.0 LE in our Mobi-beacons. The Company is seeking to realize on the advertising revenue potential of its mall network footprint and in order to concentrate on these sales opportunities, the Company has temporarily postponed the rollout of its mall-offers platform described in prior Exchange Act filings. In 2013, the Company also restructured itself into two operating divisions, namely Ace Marketing and Mobiquity Networks. In 2013, the Company acquired its licensed technology from FuturLink, a transaction at a cost of approximately $160,000 which should substantially reduce the cost of our Mob-Units as they are deployed in malls and other retail locations. Management believes that the foregoing measures should lead to additional sales and increase shareholder value, although no assurances can be given in this regard.

The Company anticipates continuing to rely on external financing from sales of its common stock to support its operations until cash flow from operations has a positive impact on operations, although no assurances can be given in this regard.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth certain selected unaudited condensed statement of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues. The following discussion relates to our results of operations for the periods noted and is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or any future fiscal year. In addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of future performance. 

We generated revenues of $626,572 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $619,725 in the same three month period ending March 31, 2013. The minimal change in revenues of $6,847 in 2014 compared to 2013 was due to the increased efforts of our sales force in readying our mobiquity activities. In the balance of 2014, we anticipate our revenues to increase in our Mobiquity Networks subsidiary due to the implementation of our Mobi-Beacons and more advertisers utilizing our mall network.

Cost of revenues was $505,900 or 80.7% of revenues in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $456,006 or 73.6% of revenues in the same three months of 2013. Cost of revenues includes purchases and freight costs associated with the shipping of merchandise to our customers. The change in cost of revenues of $49,894 in 2013 is related to volume and product mix of the products our customers purchased.

Gross profit was $120,672 in the first quarter of 2014 or 19.3% of net revenues compared to $163,719 in the same three months of 2013 or 26.4% of revenues. Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors including the mix of items sold and the volume of product sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers with low to no profit margin. As advertising revenue from the use of our Mobiquity devices increases, it is expected that our margins will increase significantly. At the current time, revenues from the use of our Mobiquity devices are not a material portion of our consolidated revenues.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $2,461,357 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1,354,160 in the same three months of 2013, an increase of approximately 1,107,000. Such operating costs include payroll and related expenses, commissions, insurance, rents, professional (consulting) and public awareness fees. The majority of the increase in operating expenses pertains to the non-cash issuance of stock based compensation of $1,091,052.

The first quarter 2014 loss from operations was $(2,340,685) as compared to $(1,190,441) for the comparable period of the prior year, an increased loss of $1,150,244. The increase in operating losses is attributable to the non-cash issuance of stock based compensation.

No benefit for income taxes is provided for in the reported periods due to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. Our ability to be profitable in the future is dependent upon both a turnaround in the United States economy and the successful introduction and usage of our proximity marketing services and Venn Media services by our clients.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,503,087 at March 31, 2014. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1,254,272. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $2,350,763, offset by stock based compensation of $1,091,052 a decrease in accounts receivable of $98,430 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $7,622 and an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $16,199. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $7,430 with the purchase of equipment. Net cash was provided by financing activities of $2,023,800 from the sale of the Company’s Common Stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $746,291 at March 31, 2013. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1,049,807. This resulted primarily from a net loss of $1,226,219, offset by stock based compensation of $132,180 a decrease in accounts receivable of $140,758 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $90,337 and an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $87,540. The Company had an increase in investing activities of $5,000 with the purchase of equipment. Net cash was provided by financing activities of $1,438,500 from the sale of the Company’s Common Stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Our Company commenced operations in 1998 and was initially funded by our three founders, each of whom has made demand loans to our Company that have been repaid. Since 1999, we have relied primarily on equity financing from outside investors to supplement our cash flow from operations.

We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, hire additional sales persons, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions. The primary sources of funding for such requirements will be cash generated from operations, raising additional capital from the sale of equity or other securities and borrowings under debt facilities which currently do not exist. We believe that we can generate sufficient cash flow from these sources to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In the event we should need additional financing, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.

Recent Financings

During 2013, the Company raised $5,562,816 in gross proceeds from the sale of its Common Stock at $.30 per share. Pursuant to said offering, the Company sold 19,125,006 shares of its Common Stock and Class BB Warrants to purchase 9,562,503 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $.50 per share through December 15, 2017. A total of $150,000 of commissions was paid to a licensed member of FINRA together with Warrants to purchase 625,000 shares. Exemption from registration for the sale of the aforementioned securities is claimed under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Thomas Arnost, Sean Trepeta and Sean McDonnell, officers and directors of the Company, purchased $200,000, $90,000 and $50,000, respectively, of securities pursuant to said offering.

Between January 1, 2014 and the date of this report, the Company has raised gross proceeds of $2,160,300 from the sale of its Common Stock (including $175,000 of the stock subscription receivables) at $.30 per share. In connection with this private placement offering, the Company has issued 7,201,000 shares of Common Stock and Class BB Warrants to purchase 3,600,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share through December 15, 2017.

On March 31, 2014, the Company raised gross proceeds of $500,000 from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock pursuant to a Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital. The Company also issued a commitment fee of 1,000,000 shares in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

Entry into an Agreement with Aspire Capital

On March 31, 2014, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (referred to herein as the “Purchase Agreement”), with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (referred to herein as “Aspire Capital”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of our shares of common stock over the approximately 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Aspire Capital 1,000,000 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee (referred to in herein as the “Commitment Shares”). Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we sold to Aspire Capital 1,000,000 shares of common stock (referred to herein as the “Initial Purchase Shares”). Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital (referred to herein as the “Registration Rights Agreement”), in which we agreed to file one or more registration statements as permissible and necessary to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the sale of the shares of our common stock that have been and may be issued to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, we were obligated to register 15,000,000 shares of our Common Stock under the Securities Act, which includes the Commitment Shares and Initial Purchase Shares that have already been issued to Aspire Capital and an additional 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock which we may issue to Aspire Capital after the registration statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Said Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 28, 2014. See Note 15.

Since April 28, 2014, the effective date of our Registration Statement, on any trading day on which the closing sale price of our Common Stock exceeds $0.16, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”), directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Common Stock per trading day, provided that the aggregate price of such purchase shall not exceed $250,000 per trading day, up to $15.0 million of our Common Stock in the aggregate at a per share price (the “Purchase Price”) calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our Common Stock (as more specifically described below).

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice for 200,000 shares to Aspire Capital and the closing sale price of our stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share of Common Stock , we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of the Company’s common stock traded on the OTCQB on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares we may determine (the “VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum”) and a minimum trading price (the “VWAP Minimum Price Threshold”) (as more specifically described below). The purchase price per Purchase Share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice (the “VWAP Purchase Price”) is calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our common stock (as more specifically described below).

The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital shall not affect any sales under the Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of our common stock is less than $0.16 per share (the “Floor Price”). This Floor Price and the respective prices and share numbers in the preceding paragraphs shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as we direct in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any penalty or cost to us.

Entry into a Secured Promissory Note

In June 2012, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $350,000 to TCA Global Credit Master Fund, an institutional lender, secured by all of the assets of the Company. In December 2012, Thomas Arnost, a director of Mobiquity, purchased from TCA Global Credit Master Fund, the Company’s outstanding convertible promissory note in the amount of $350,000. Subsequently, Mr. Arnost and the Company agreed to fix the conversion price of the note at $.30 per share, extend the due date of the Note to June 12, 2014, subject to Mr. Arnost’s right to call the note at any time in his sole discretion, and increase the interest rate to 15% per annum. The Company has the right to prepay the note, subject to Mr. Arnost’s right of conversion.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
