Introduction


We design and market to business customers digital watermarking, streaming video and video-on-demand systems, services and source-to-destination digital media delivery solutions that allow live or recorded digitized and compressed video to be transmitted through Internet, intranet, satellite or wireless connectivity.  Our systems, services and delivery solutions include digital watermark solutions and video content production, content encoding, media asset management, media and application hosting, multi-mode content distribution, transaction data capture and reporting, e-commerce, specialized engineering services, and Internet streaming hardware.


Although we have generated nominal sales for the 2012 year, we continue to explore opportunities that will result in new products for new revenue streams, but there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful.


Our products and services are based on our proprietary rich media delivery infrastructure and software and our Store and Forward Video-on-Demand ("VOD") patent.  Our patent expired in February of 2010.  These technologies, together with video compression technology, facilitate the delivery of video to an end user in a timely and interactive fashion.


We have developed a number of specific products and services based on these technologies.  These include MediaSentinel™ and SmartMarks™, a process that watermarks digital video content; StreamHQ™, a collection of source-to-destination media delivery services marketed to businesses; EncodeHQ™, a service that digitizes and compresses analog-source video; hardware server and encoder system applications under the brand name Hurricane Mediacaster™ ZMail™, a service that delivers web and rich media content to targeted audiences, and mediaClix™, a service that delivers content similar to Zmail™ but originating from an existing web presence.


Corporate Background


Our company was incorporated on April 18, 1986, as “First Commercial Financial Group Inc.” in the Province of Alberta, Canada.  In 1989, our name was changed to “Micron Metals Canada Corp.”, which purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of USA Video Inc., a Texas corporation, in order to focus on the digital media business.  In 1995, we changed our name to “USA Video Interactive Corp.” and continued our corporate existence to the State of Wyoming.  At a shareholders meeting held on December 30, 2011, shareholders voted to change our name to "Oculus VisionTech Inc." and alter our share capital by way of a reverse stock split on a fifteen old for one new common share basis and on January 25, 2012 we changed our name to "Oculus VisionTech Inc." and completed the reverse stock split.  We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, USVO Inc.  In 2010, we dissolved: USA Video (California) Corp., USA Video Corporation, Old Lyme Productions Inc. and USA Video Technology Corporation.

Oculus’ executive and corporate offices are located in Vancouver, British Columbia.


Business Environment


The increase of video content distribution over IP, particularly theatrical releases on demand to households or individuals on the road, by utilizing wire-line and/or wireless communication networks is expected to continue to increase over the next several years, bringing expanded use of content security technologies embedded in the content and video transmission packets.  In the interm, content transcoding technologies continue to improve, allowing delivery of higher quality content using existing streaming over IP connectivity.  Digital content piracy is increasing at an exponential rate which enables and emphasizes rapid introduction and implementation of forensic video watermarking technologies.



Strategic Plan


We believe that the expected substantial increase of video content proliferation over Cloud Computing clusters (elastic computing, mass storage blobs), known as streaming video and video-on-demand services that allow live or recorded encoded video to be transmitted through Internet, intranet, satellite or wireless connectivity, clearly provide an enormous business case for applying digital watermarking as a content security technology of choice for content owners. Today’s Cloud Computing systems have expressed a clear need for digital watermark solutions. Also, media asset management, media and application hosting, multi-mode content distribution, transaction data capture and reporting, e-commerce, specialized engineering services, and Internet streaming hardware are indicating real-time watermarking as a mandatory content protection solution, moving forward. To position ourselves to take advantage of this anticipated shift, protecting our technology ownership rights, including pursuing licensing arrangements and other forms of enforcement and pursuing marketing of our patent-pending digital watermarking technology.



We continue to research and develop our patent-pending digital watermarking technology while pursuing marketing of our new releases of MediaSentinel™ and other related products.  


We discontinued the sale of select services from our prototype StreamHQTM after customers' satisfaction and proof of concept.  We no longer sell our individual functions of StreamHQTM.  We intend to continue to develop and expand our StreamHQ™ services business, while pursuing opportunities to sell replicated StreamHQ™ systems to corporations and organizations that prefer systems solutions to services solutions.  


Proprietary Technologies


Our proprietary technologies include our (1) Digital watermarking piracy deterrence technology; (2) StreamHQ™ infrastructure, software, and service delivery processes, and (3) VOD patent (expired in February 2010).


·

The objective of our patent-pending Digital Watermarking technology is to deter digital video piracy once a user has been authorized to view a video.  This is one of the major concerns preventing content owners from committing more of their content to the digital medium.  Digital watermarking helps trace content to incidents of piracy, thus deterring piracy.


·

The ability of StreamHQ™ to deliver services to clients with market-specific value propositions stems from its scalable, streaming-enabled web infrastructure, the software functionality that resides on this infrastructure (such as innovative asset management and user transaction data capture and reporting), and the processes developed for delivering media campaigns to clients.  By delivering features unique to individual markets, such as advertising, corporate communications and customer service, StreamHQ™ services are differentiated from the generic services delivered by competitors.

Products and Services


Our principal products and services are our proprietary Digital Watermarking technology.  These technologies, together with video compression technology, facilitate the delivery of video to end users with piracy deterring Digital Watermarks.  


We have developed a number of specific products and services based on these technologies.  These include:


·

MediaSentinel™, digital watermarking technology used to deter piracy of digital content;


·

SmartMarks™, are invisible, unremovable, forensic “digital watermarks” imbedded in every video frame to protect digital video from piracy.


We propose to grant licenses to use our patent-pending digital watermarking technology on terms comparable to the “reasonable royalty” provided for by U.S. patent laws.  Upon successfully licensing our patent, we could earn an initial licensing fee and/or per-use royalties, meaning that each time a licensed event occurs (e.g. each time a digital watermark is encoded in a video) a specified royalty will be paid to us.  Upon suitable negotiated terms, we may also consider bulk-fee licensing agreements, either apart from or in addition to per-use royalties.  


Our future plans include the marketing and selling of our StreamHQ™ systems, whereby a customer would purchase an entire system, comprised of hardware assembled by us and software developed and installed by us.  After sale and delivery of the system to a customer, our service to the customer would then include updates of software and service and maintenance of hardware, as necessary, for additional compensation.  The services of Zmail™ and mediaClix™ are available to a customer only through the purchase of a StreamHQ™ system.


As a cost cutting measure, we have terminated the operation of our StreamHQTM infrastructure, which provided individual functionality of StreamHQTM for small customers, as this service was no longer cost effective or deemed necessary at this time.  


Status of Products and Services


We are taking aggressive steps to advance our patent-pending digital watermarking technology.  These steps include actively seeking licensing initiatives.  Our product is designed to be easily customized to individual customer needs.


We have recognized a rising need for anti piracy applications, which we developed under the brand “MediaSentinel™”.  MediaSentinel™ utilizes SmartMarks™ which are digitally encoded forensic data invisibly embedded into a video stream.  Currently, research and development is focused on our MediaSentinel™ products.  The current release of MediaSentinel™ is designed for the motion picture industry.


Customers and Markets


The principal market for our services is the digital content owners and distributors. The market for digital watermarking technology may be required by copyright-owning content providers who have concerns about the potential for digital piracy of their material.  Protocols may develop which will require participants in the video industry to embrace some form of digital watermarking.  We will follow those developments closely, and, if necessary, take steps to promote and protect our digital watermarking technology.  


Additionally, companies within the business-to-business sector, rather than the individual consumer, generally possess the greater financial wherewithal and purpose for purchasing StreamHQ™ systems.  Our focus is on companies that can benefit from an engaging rich media and web presentation directed at a target audience.  Our customers for these services have included film companies, event promoters, ministries, travel companies, sports entertainment centers and political candidates.  


Our customers for StreamHQ™ systems may also be businesses or organizations that are dissatisfied with response rates from traditional email campaigns, or who have in the past been unable to track the response rate to such traditional email campaigns.  Additionally, any business that wishes to increase brand or product awareness



6



in a more cost effective manner than television advertising would be an appropriate candidate for the StreamHQ™ services.  


Sources and Availability of Raw Materials


We assemble our hardware systems from components manufactured by others.  We specify, procure, assemble, test and deploy the various system components according to a precisely developed set of procedures.  We consult on an as-needed basis, with companies that supply the major materials needed to build our systems.  Systems are programmed and configured to meet a wide variety of individual customer requirements.


We procure the materials and hardware to assemble systems and their components from various companies, as needed, and in sufficient quantities to preclude any danger of significant sourcing problems in the immediate future.  There are no seasonal limitations on our operations.


Competitive Conditions


AquaMobile, BooXtream, Civolution, Isan, MarkAny, MSI, Verimatrix and other companies large and small are active in the field of digital watermark technologies.  The video streaming market is currently dominated by a small number of larger companies, including Real Networks, Microsoft, Yahoo and several others, some of which offer source-to-destination streaming media solutions.  Most of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than us.  In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors as the use of the Internet and other online services increases.  In addition, new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies are expected to result in additional competition.  


The streaming media market is new, rapidly evolving and extremely competitive and we expect that competition will intensify in the future.  We compete with other companies that provide all or certain aspects of our services, including other streaming media providers, content encoders, video production companies, Internet data management companies, and others, and expect that additional competition in the future will be provided by those types of providers.  Our current market share is insignificant.  


We are, and will continue to be dependent on vendors and other providers to supply the hardware, software and co-location resources that comprise our products and services.  Further, we currently compete with, and expect to compete with in the future, providers of some of our technology or system components.  Competition is expected in all areas of business, including pricing, service, product performance, and our ability to keep up with rapidly improving technology, changing market conditions, evolving industry standards and changing customer demands.


Research and Development


Our current research and development is the evolution of our digital watermark technology.  We redirected our Wavelet development effort toward the creation of a content protection technology that is grounded in similar science as Wavelet compression.  Products currently in development:

·

 MediaEscort™ and MediaEscort™ Streaming Edition are solutions which embed visually imperceptible unique watermarks within each frame of video, such that these watermarks can be recovered (read back) from reclaimed video in order to identify the source (where they came from), thus allowing the tracking of the video assets.

·

MediaEscort™ has been designed for offline physical video file watermarking. Videos are queued by the operator for processing, whereby the system, with various pre-set configured parameters, will process and apply unique watermarks to each video.

·

MediaEscort™ Streaming Edition has been designed primarly as an online real-time video watermarking distribution system. This system has been specifically designed for uniquely watermarking online streaming videos in real time, that are typically deployed in a cloud computing environment.


During fiscal 2012 and 2011, our research and development expenditures were $45,000 and $75,000, respectively.

Intellectual Property


Our success is dependent, in part, upon our proprietary technology.  We generally rely upon patents, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology products and services.


On June 19, 2001, United States Patent Application No. 09/884,787, “Method and Apparatus for Digitally Fingerprinting Videos”, was officially filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  This patent is for “MediaSentinel™”.


Employees


As at April 2nd, 2013, the company had no employees.  Compensation for current and future work will be conducted on a contract basis.


Competition for technical personnel in the industry we compete in is intense.  Our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to contract, assimilate and retain qualified personnel.  To date, we have had limited success in recruiting qualified contractors but there is no assurance that we will continue to do so in the future.  Attracting qualified expertise is contingent on raising sufficient working capital and project advancement.


Item 1A.

Risk Factors


Our business and operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties as described below. However, the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we may currently deem immaterial, may become important factors that harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer.


OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS.


We have a very limited operating history and have made very limited sales of our products and services and we were in the development stage through December 31, 1999. Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as digital watermarking.  Some of these risks relate to our ability to:


·

maintain or develop relationships with suppliers and marketing partners;


·

establish a  customer base;


·

continue to develop and upgrade our technology, products and services;


·

provide superior customer service;


·

respond to competitive developments; and


·

retain and motivate qualified personnel.


WE HAVE INCURRED SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES; WE EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE, AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.


To date,

we have not been profitable, have not generated significant revenue from operations, and have incurred substantial losses.  For the year ended December 31, 2012 we had a net loss of $339,219.  As of December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $39,586,107 and a working capital deficit of $830,469.  We intend to continue to expend significant financial and management resources on the development of our proposed products and services, and other aspects of our business.  As a result, we expect operating losses and negative cash flows to



8



increase for the foreseeable future.  Consequently, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability.  We may be unable to do so. If our revenues grow more slowly than anticipated or if operating expenses increase more than expected, or are not reduced sufficiently, we may never achieve profitability.  Because of factors discussed in this paragraph, our auditors, in their report on our financial statements, have expressed substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern.


IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS.


We require substantial working capital to fund our business.  We have had significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception of our current business and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.  Our capital requirements will depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our products and services, the ability to establish and expand a client base and the growth and effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.  We estimate we will require approximately $1.50 Million to $2.00 Million in financing to meet our working capital needs over the remainder of 2013 and substantial additional financing thereafter.  Further, if capital requirements vary materially from those currently planned, we may require additional financing.  We have no arrangements or commitments for any financing.  Financing may not be available when needed on terms favorable to us, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to further develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or ultimately, to continue in business.


OUR OPERATING RESULTS IN FUTURE PERIODS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS, WHICH WOULD LIKELY AFFECT THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES.


Our quarterly and annual operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Some of these factors include:


·

our ability to attract and retain customers;


·

the introduction of new enhancements in digital watermarking;


·

price competition;


·

our ability to remain competitive in our product and service offerings;


·

our ability to attract new personnel; and


·

U.S. and foreign regulations relating to the Internet.


As a result of the factors listed above, and others, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful in predicting our future performance.  It is possible that our operating results will not meet market expectations in some future quarter or quarters, which would likely result in a significant decline in our stock price.


THE DIGITAL WATERMARKING BUSINESS IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND OUR FAILURE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WOULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN AND INCREASE OUR MARKET SHARE.


The digital watermarking market is new, rapidly evolving and extremely competitive.  We expect competition to intensify in the future.  We compete with companies that provide all or certain aspects of our services, including other streaming media providers, content encoders, video production companies, Internet data management companies, and others, and expect that additional competition in the future will be provided by those types of providers and others.  Our current market share is insignificant.


The digital watermarking market is currently dominated by a small number of larger companies, including



9



AquaMobile, BooXtream, Civolution, Isan, MarkAny, MSI, Verimatrix and other companies large and small, some of which offer digital watermarking products.  Most of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than us.  In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors as the use of the Internet and other online services increases.  In addition, new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies are expected to result in additional competition.


We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any inability to do so could decrease our revenues, contribute to our not achieving profitability and adversely affect our ability to establish, maintain and increase our market share.


THE MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS RELATIVELY NEW AND IS EVOLVING, AND OUR SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO ADAPT TO CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS.


Our future financial performance will depend in large part on the growth in demand for our digital watermarking services and products.  This market is emerging and rapidly evolving, is characterized by an increasing number of market entrants and will be subject to frequent and continuing changes in customer preferences and technology.  As is typical in new and evolving markets, demand and market acceptance for our products and services is subject to a high level of uncertainty.  Because the market for our products is evolving, it is difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the size or growth rate, if any, of this market.  There can be no assurance that a significant market for our products will develop, or that it will develop at an acceptable rate or that new competitors will not enter the market.  In addition, even if a significant market develops for such products, there can be no assurance that our products will be successful in such a market.  If a significant market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or attracts new competitors, or if our products do not achieve market acceptance, our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.


WE ARE SUBJECT TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, WHICH COULD RENDER OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OBSOLETE.


Our future success will depend in part on our ability to offer products and services that incorporate leading technology and address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers.  Our market is characterized by rapidly changing and unproven technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs, emerging competition and frequent new service introductions. Future advances in technology may not be beneficial to or compatible with our business.  In addition, we may not be able to incorporate technological advances into our products and services in a cost-effective and timely basis.  Keeping pace with the technological advances may require substantial expenditures and lead time, particularly with respect to acquiring updated hardware and infrastructure components of our systems.  We may require additional financing to fund such acquisitions.  Any such financing may not be available on commercially reasonably terms, if at all, when needed.


WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON VENDORS AND OTHER THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND WILL BE COMPETING WITH SOME OF THESE COMPANIES.


We are, and will continue to be dependent on vendors and other providers to supply the hardware, software and co-location resources that comprise our products and services.  We have no long-term or exclusive contracts or arrangements with any of these vendors or providers.  We cannot be certain that our current and proposed vendors and service providers will continue to do business with us or that we will be able to establish relationships with new vendors and service providers, if necessary.  If we are unable to establish and maintain satisfactory relationships and arrangements with these third parties, our business could be harmed.  In addition, we will be dependent upon our third party vendors and other suppliers to adequately test their products before release, and to provide support for the products after delivery.  The failure of any of these third party providers to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business.


Further, we currently compete with, and expect to compete with in the future, providers of some of our technology or system components.  Our inability to, at the same time, effectively cooperate and compete with these



10



companies could harm our business.


IF WE DO NOT CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE OUR TECHNOLOGY IN A TIMELY MANNER, OUR PRODUCTS COULD BE RENDERED OBSOLETE.


The markets for our products and services are characterized by:


·

rapidly changing technology;


·

evolving industry standards;


·

frequent new product and service introductions; and


·

changing customer demands.


These changes and developments may render our products and technologies obsolete in the future.  As a result, our success depends on our ability to adapt to these changes, particularly to develop or adapt products and services or to acquire new products and services that can compete successfully.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.


OUR SERVICES ARE COMPLEX AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT DEFECTS THAT COULD DECREASE THEIR MARKET ACCEPTANCE, RESULT IN PRODUCT LIABILITY OR HARM OUR REPUTATION.


Our digital water marketing and streaming media products and services are complex, and the steps we take to ensure that they are free of errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released, may not be successful.  We cannot guarantee that current versions or enhanced versions or our products will be free of significant software defects or bugs. Despite our testing, and testing by our third-party vendors and providers, current or future products may contain serious defects.  Serious defects or errors could result in lost revenue or a delay in market acceptance of our products and could seriously harm our business and operating results.  Errors in our products may be caused by defects in third-party hardware or software incorporated into our products.  If so, we may be unable to fix these defects without the co-operation of these third-party providers.  Because these defects may not be as significant to these providers as they are to us, we may not receive the rapid co-operation that we may require.  Errors, defects or other performance problems with our products could also harm our customers' businesses or result in potential product liability claims.  Even if unsuccessful, a product liability claim brought against us would likely be time-consuming, costly and harmful to our reputation.  Nor can there be any assurance that our product liability insurance coverage will be sufficient to satisfy any successful claim.


ANY LOSS OF OUR PERSONNEL OR INABILITY TO ADD NEW PERSONNEL COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.


Our future success depends significantly on the continued services and performance of our senior management.  Our performance also depends on our ability to retain and motivate our other key personnel.  The loss of the services of any member of our senior management team or other key employees could cause significant disruption in our business.  We have no long-term employment agreements with senior management and do not currently maintain any "key person" life insurance. Our future success also depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, operations, sales and marketing and customer service personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel.  The failure to retain and attract the necessary personnel could impede our future success.




11



IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS. AS A RESULT, CURRENT AND POTENTIAL STOCKHOLDERS COULD LOSE CONFIDENCE IN OUR FINANCIAL REPORTING, WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE.


Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our Annual Report on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that our internal controls are ineffective.  The material weaknesses in our internal controls related to a lack of segregation of duties due to inadequate staffing within our accounting department and upper management, the assignment of authority and responsibility, lack of consistent policies and procedures, inadequate monitoring controls and inadequate disclosure controls.  If we cannot adequately maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we may be subject to liability and/or sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such action could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.


WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY PAYING CUSTOMERS.


Our sales were $47,027 in 2012 and $36,000 in 2011.  One customer accounted for 100% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  We expect a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future.  Our inability to increase the number of our customers could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share, or could cause revenue to drop quickly and unexpectedly.


OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF WE CANNOT PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.


We seek to protect our proprietary rights through a combination of patents, trade secrets and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions with employees and third parties.  Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we consider as proprietary.  Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others.  Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources with no assurance of success and could seriously harm our business and operating results.


OUR PRODUCTS MAY INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS, CAUSING US TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS OR PREVENT US FROM LICENSING OUR PRODUCTS.


Other companies, including our competitors, may have or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or license our products.  We cannot be certain that our products do not and will not infringe patents or other proprietary rights of others.  We may be subject to legal proceedings, including claims of alleged infringement by others of the intellectual property rights of third parties.  If a successful claim of infringement is brought against us and we fail to or are unable to license the infringed technology on commercially reasonable terms, our business and operating results could be significantly harmed.  Companies in the technology market are increasingly bringing suits alleging infringement of their proprietary rights, particularly patent rights.  Although we are not currently subject to any litigation or claims, any future claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources with no assurance of success.  Intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to do one or more of the following:


·

cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;


·

obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all; or


·

redesign our products or services.




12



If we are forced to take any of these actions, our business could be substantially harmed.


OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE CONTINUED GROWTH IN DEMAND FOR E-BUSINESS APPLICATIONS.


Our primary business strategy involves the development of products and services that enable users to transmit video over the Internet.  As a result, our future sales and any future profits will be substantially dependent upon the widespread acceptance and use of the Internet as an effective medium of business by consumers and businesses.  To be successful, consumers and businesses that historically have used traditional means of commerce to transact business must continue to accept and utilize the Internet as a medium for conducting business and exchanging information.  Consumers and businesses may reject the Internet as a viable commercial medium for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate network infrastructure, slow development of enabling technologies, insufficient commercial support and privacy concerns.  In addition, delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity or increased government regulation could cause the Internet to lose its viability as a commercial medium.  If the demand for e-business applications does not grow or grows more slowly than expected, demand for our products and services would be reduced and our revenue would suffer.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES COULD ADD ADDITIONAL COSTS AND RISKS TO DOING BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET.


We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, export control laws and laws or regulations directly applicable to electronic commerce.  However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet covering issues such as: user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, and characteristics and quality of products and services.


Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business online.  The adoption of additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet or other online services, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business.


The applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, export or import matters, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain.  The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies.  As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies.  Changes to such laws intended to address these issues, including some recently proposed changes, could create uncertainty in the Internet marketplace.  Such uncertainty could reduce demand for our products and services or increase the cost of doing business due to increased costs of litigation or increased service delivery costs.


OUR SHARE PRICE HAS BEEN AND COULD BE HIGHLY VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO INVESTORS.


The trading price of our common shares has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors including: variations in quarterly operating results; new products or services offered by us or our competitors; conditions or trends in the Internet and online commerce industries; changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other Internet and online service companies; and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.  In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, including large price drops in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2003, 2002 and 2001, that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies.  These broad market and industry factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.  In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against such companies.  Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.



13




ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS COULD PREVENT OR DELAY A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY.


Our Articles of Continuance and bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that could discourage, delay or even prevent an acquisition of our company at a premium price or at all.  Any of these provisions might prevent the market price of our common shares from increasing in response to takeover attempts, and could prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the then-prevailing market price for the common shares.


WE INTEND TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL EQUITY SECURITIES, WHICH MAY DILUTE THE INTERESTS OF CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS OR CARRY RIGHTS OR PREFERENCES SENIOR TO THE COMMON SHARES.


We intend to issue additional equity securities in order to raise working capital.  Accordingly, existing shareholders may experience additional dilution of their percentage ownership interest in our company.  In addition, the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common shares.


LIMITED LIABILITY OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY DISCOURAGE SHAREHOLDERS FROM BRINGING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM.


Our bylaws contain provisions that limit the liability of directors for monetary damages and provide for indemnification of officers and directors.  These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against officers and directors for breaches of fiduciary duty and may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors even though such action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the shareholders.  In addition, a shareholder's investment in Oculus may be adversely affected to the extent that costs of settlement and damage awards against officers or directors are paid by Oculus pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the bylaws.


REQUIREMENTS OF THE SEC WITH REGARD TO LOW-PRICED "PENNY STOCKS" MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SHARES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.


"Penny stocks" are low-priced, and usually highly speculative, stock selling at less than $5.00 per share.  Our securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse).  For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale.  The rule also requires the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commissions payable for the transaction, current quotations for the stock, and, if applicable, the fact that it is the sole market maker in the stock.  Consequently, the rule may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may adversely affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.


WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.


We have not paid dividends on our common shares and we intend, for the foreseeable future, to invest any earnings in the further development of our business. Accordingly, shareholders should not expect to receive any dividends on their shares.


Our failure to manage or adequately address any one or more of these rights could result in our business suffering a material adverse effect.

Item 7.  

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operation.


You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with ‘‘Selected Consolidated Financial Data’’ and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.


Overview

We design and market to business customers digital watermarking, streaming video and video-on-demand (VOD) systems, services and source-to-destination digital media delivery solutions that allow live or recorded digitized and compressed video to be transmitted through Internet, intranet, satellite or wireless connectivity. The Company’s systems, services and delivery solutions include digital watermark solutions and video content production, content encoding, media asset management, media and application hosting, multi-mode content distribution, transaction data capture and reporting, e-commerce, specialized engineering services, and Internet streaming hardware.


The Company’s products and services are based on its media delivery infrastructure and software.  It has developed a number of specific products and services. These include MediaSentinel and SmartMarks, a process that watermarks digital video content; StreamHQ, a collection of source-to-destination media delivery services marketed to businesses; EncodeHQ, a service that digitizes and compresses analog-source video; hardware server and encoder system applications under the brand name Hurricane Mediacaster; ZMail, a service that delivers Web and rich media content to targeted audiences, and mediaClix, a service that delivers content similar to Zmail but originating from an existing Web presence.



16




As more fully discussed below we have not been profitable, and our revenues for 2012 were $47,027.  We cannot predict our revenue levels for the next 12 months, or thereafter, nor when, or if, our operations will become profitable.  We will require additional financing, both for the remainder of fiscal 2013 and thereafter, to continue to operate and expand our business.  There is no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.


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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results:


Revenue recognition;

Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets;

Deferred taxes;

Accounting for stock-based compensation; and

Commitments and contingencies.


REVENUE RECOGNITION.  Revenue is recognized for digital water marking based on a contracted usage schedule on a monthly billing cycle.  Software revenue and other services are recognized in accordance with the terms of the specific agreement, which is generally upon delivery and when accepted by customer.  Maintenance, support and service revenue are recognized ratably over the term of the related agreement.  In order to recognize revenue, we must not have any continuing obligations and it must also be probable that we will collect the accounts receivable.


IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS.  Long-lived assets are reviewed in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05.  Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets losses are recognized in the period the impairment or disposal occurs.   


DEFERRED TAXES.  We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the amount may not be realized.   


ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.    Under ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)), the Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term.  The amount of expense attributed is based on estimated forfeiture rate, which is updated based on actual forfeitures as appropriate.  This option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, pre-vesting forfeiture rate and an option’s expected life.  The financial statements include amounts that are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgments.

 

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.     We account for commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies (formerly referred to as financial accounting standards board Statement No. 5,



17



Accounting for Contingencies). We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.


Results of Operations


Revenues


Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 ("fiscal 2012") were $47,027 and for the year ended December 31, 2011 ("fiscal 2011”) were $36,000.  All revenues for fiscal 2012 and 2011 were derived from a license agreement for digital watermarking.  We had one customer, which accounted for 100% of the revenue in both years.


Expenses


Total operating expenses for fiscal 2012 were $240,199, compared with $269,429 for fiscal 2011.  For fiscal 2012, cost of sales were $6,620, as compared with $5,400 for fiscal 2011.


Our management and employee agreed to no compensation for fiscal 2012 and 2011.  Product marketing costs increased due to management’s decision to direct our efforts toward the current customer in additional divisions and two additional potential customers.  Professional fees decreased due to the settlement of a law suit of a dissolved subsidiary.   Administrative expenses have decreased due to management decision to reduce operating facilities.


During the period ended December 31, 2012 in connection with the settlements of accounts payable, we wrote off accounts payable obligations of $1,170 and recorded a gain of $1,170.


Fiscal 2012 versus fiscal 2011


Research and development expenses consisted primarily of contractors, compensation, hardware, software, licensing fees, and new product applications for our proprietary MediaSentinel™ with a related party.  Research and development expenses decreased to $45,000 for fiscal 2012, from $75,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 2011.


Selling, general and administrative expenses were $188,579 for fiscal 2012, as compared to $189,029 for fiscal 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of marketing expenses, consulting fees, noncash compensation, office, professional fees, and other expenses to execute our business plan and for day-to-day operations.  The primary components of the decreases from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2011 were:


·

a $24,301 increase in fiscal 2012 in marketing expenses was due to management’s decision to direct our efforts toward the current customer in additional divisions and two additional potential customers; and


·

a $20,994 decrease in operational cost fiscal 2012 was due to the timing of the annual meeting; and


·

a $7,228 increase in fiscal 2012 in transfer agent cost due to the reverse stock split.


Net Losses


To date, we have not achieved profitability and expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.  Our net loss for fiscal 2012 was $339,219, compared with a net loss of $161,612 for fiscal 2011.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 31, 2012 our cash position was $7,415, a decrease of $92,418 from December 31, 2011.  We had a working capital deficit of $830,469 and an accumulated deficit of $39,586,107 at December 31, 2012.


Our principal source of cash during fiscal 2012 was sales proceeds of $47,027. This was offset by $92,418 of cash used in operating activities.



18




We have historically satisfied our capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities to our officers, directors, employees and a small group of investors, and from short-term bridge loans from members of management.  


Our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report accompanying our audited financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2012, have stated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  As of December 31, 2012, we had $7,415 in cash. We will require an additional $1.50 million to $2.00 million to finance operations for the fiscal 2013 and we intend to obtain such financing through sales of our equity securities.  The threat to our ability to continue as a going concern will be removed only when revenues have reached a level that sustains our business operations.


Assuming the aforementioned $1.50 million to $2.00 million in financing is obtained, continuing operations for the longer-term will be supported through anticipated growth in revenues and through additional sales of our securities.  Although longer-term financing requirements may vary depending upon our sales performance, management expects that we will require additional financing of $2.0 million to $3.0 million for fiscal 2014.  We have no binding commitments or arrangements for additional financing, and there is no assurance that management will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


As of fiscal 2012 we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.


Item 7A.  

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.


We believe our exposure to overall foreign currency risk is not material.  We do not manage or maintain market risk sensitive instruments for trading or other purposes and we are not exposed to the effects of interest rate fluctuations as we do not carry any long-term debt.


We report our operations in US dollars and our currency exposure, although considered by us as immaterial, is primarily between US and Canadian dollars.  Exposure to other currency risks is also not material as international transactions are settled in US dollars.  Any future financing undertaken by us will be denominated in US dollars.  As we increase our marketing efforts, the related expenses will be primarily in US dollars.  At December 31, 2012, 100% of our bank deposits are maintained in U.S. dollars.


Item 8.  

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.


The financial statements and supplementary financial information required to be filed under this item are presented on pages F-1 through F-21 of this Report and are incorporated herein by reference.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors

Oculus VisionTech,Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oculus VisionTech, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oculus VisionTech, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has not generated significant revenue from operations and has a net working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also discussed in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Comments by Auditors for Canadian Readers on U.S. – Canada Reporting Differences


In Canada, reporting standards do not require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) or a reservation of opinion when the consolidated financial statements are effected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Such doubt is accounted for and disclosed in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.


Our report to the Board of Directors dated April 2nd, 2013, is expressed in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which requires an explanatory paragraph in the auditor’s report.

OCULUS VISIONTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARY


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The following financial statements present the financial results of Oculus VisionTech, Inc. formerly USA Video Interactive Corp, and its wholly owned subsidiary USVO Inc. on a consolidated basis

 


2.

BUSINESS:

Oculus VisionTech, Inc. (the "Company") is a designer of digital watermarking services and solutions.  At December 31, 2012 and for the two-year period then ended, substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all its operations are located and conducted in the United States.

3.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses of $339,219 and $161,612 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  In addition, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $830,469 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $39,586,107 at December 31, 2012. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations as they come due, which management believes it will be able to do.  To date, the Company has funded operations primarily through the issuance of common stock, warrants and options to outside investors and to the Company's management.  The Company believes that its operations will generate additional funds and that additional funding from outside investors and the Company's management will continue to be available to the Company when needed.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

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


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


The Company sells its products to customers on an open credit basis.  The Company’s trade accounts receivable are due from such customers and are generally uncollateralized.  Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges off to expense any balances that are determined to be uncollectible or establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company considered its accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded.  Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was zero.

OCULUS VISIONTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARY


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 

Revenue from hardware product sales is recognized when the product has been shipped and the collection of payment is reasonably assured.  Revenue recognized from these sales is net of applicable provisions for refunds, discounts and allowances.  Engineering services sales are recognized upon the service having been provided.

Revenue from software sales is recognized when the product has been delivered. Revenue from multiple element contracts (hardware, software and engineering) is allocated to the various elements based on fair value.  If objective evidence of fair value is not available, revenue from these contracts is deferred until the earlier of when objective evidence of fair value does exist or all elements of the contract have been delivered.  Discounts will be applied to each element on a proportionate basis.  No portion of the revenue will be recognized if the portion of the revenue allocable to delivered elements is subject to forfeiture, refund or other concession.

Revenue is recognized for digital water marking based on a contracted usage schedule on a monthly billing cycle.

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss carry forwards measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The Company periodically evaluates the reliability of its net deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


The foreign assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period.  The aggregate effect of translation adjustments is immaterial at December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Basic loss per common share ("EPS") is computed as net loss divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the impact of common stock potentially issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 there were no potentially issuable common stock.


Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK WARRANTS:

The Company has a stock option plan under which options to purchase shares of common stock may be granted to certain officers, directors and service providers.  


In February 2007, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”).  The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,158,333 of the Company's common shares (adjusted for reverse stock split), subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX") and is subject to a limitation on the number of options a company may have. The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of both incentive stock options and nonqualified options as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The Company's previous option plan terminated in 2011, when all granted stock options were exercised, expired or canceled.  In December 2011, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”).  The 2011 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,250,000 of the Company's common shares, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX") and is subject to a limitation on the number of options a company may have. The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of both incentive stock options and nonqualified options as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through April 2nd, 2013, the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no other items that require disclosure.

Item 9.  

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.


None


Item 9A


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.


In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.


No system of controls can prevent errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of some people, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.


Subject to the limitations above, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.


Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not effective as a result of the weaknesses in the design of our internal control over financial reporting.


Based upon their evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are ineffective.  The material weaknesses in our internal controls related to a lack of segregation of duties due to inadequate staffing within our accounting department and upper management, the assignment of authority and responsibility, lack of consistent policies and procedures, inadequate monitoring controls and inadequate disclosure controls.


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


We are committed to improving our financial organization.  As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to our company.


In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes.  Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department.  Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support our company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur.



20






We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.   


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

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Section 16"), requires that reports of beneficial ownership of capital stock and changes in such ownership be filed with the SEC by Section 16 "reporting persons," including directors, certain officers, and holders of more than 10% of the outstanding common shares.  We are required to disclose in this Annual Report on Form 10-K each reporting person whom we know to have failed to file any required reports under Section 16 on a timely basis during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.


To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our officers, directors and 10% shareholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

22





and regulatory requirements.  The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, replacement, compensation and oversight of the independent auditor engaged to prepare or issue audit reports on our financial statements.  The Audit Committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management and the independent auditor in carrying out its oversight responsibilities.  


The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Maurice Loverso and Rowland Perkins.  Rowland Perkins serves as Chairman.  The Board of Directors had determined that each Audit Committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and accounting matters to serve on the Committee and that each member is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules.
