ITEM 1 – BUSINESS
Corporate History
We were incorporated under the name Imagine Media, Ltd. on August 10, 2007. From inception through early 2009, our business was to publish and distribute Image Magazine, a monthly entertainment guide for the Denver, Colorado area. We generated only limited revenue and essentially abandoned our business plan in January 2009.
On September 19, 2011, we acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TransBiotec, Inc., (“TBT”) from TBT’s directors in exchange for 12,416,462 shares of our common stock. These directors of TBT were Charles Bennington, Devadatt Mishal, Nicholas Limer, and Sam Satyanarayana, all of which are currently directors of TransBiotec, Inc. At the time, these shares represented approximately 52% of our outstanding common stock. TBT was a California corporation. In connection with this transaction, two of our officers resigned and Charles Bennington and Nicholas Limer were appointed as directors and as our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, and our Secretary, respectively, and Ronald Williams was appointed as our Chief Technology Officer.
On January 17, 2012, our Board of Directors amended our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from Imagine Media, Ltd. to TransBiotec, Inc. On January 31, 2012, we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 10,973,678 shares of our common stock. In connection with this transaction two of our directors resigned and Sam Satyanarayana, Ronald Williams and Devadatt Mishal were appointed directors. As a result of the September 2011 and January 2012 acquisitions of TBT common stock, we currently own approximately 97% of the outstanding shares of TBT, and we control its board of directors and officer positions. The remaining 3% are owned by non-affiliated individuals that did not participate in the share exchange.
As a result of the acquisition, TBT’s business is our business and, unless otherwise indicated, any references to “us” or “we” includes the business and operations of TBT. Due to our 97% ownership of TBT, its operations are combined with ours in the attached financial statements.
Our offices are located at 194 Marina Drive, Suite 202, Long Beach, CA 90803, telephone number (562) 280-0483.

Business Overview
General
We are a development stage company in the process of developing an alcohol detection device called “SOBR”. The device is a patented system for use in detecting alcohol in a person’s system by measuring the ethanol content in their perspiration. Once SOBR is developed and tested, we plan to market the device to four primary business segments: (i) as an aftermarket-installed device to companies and institutions that employ or contract with vehicle drivers, such as trucking companies, limousine companies, and taxi cab companies, where the system will be marketed as a preventative drunk driving detection system, with a possible ignition locking device, (ii) the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) market, where the device would be installed in new vehicles during the original building of a vehicle, (iii) companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave or prior to leaving for a mission, and (iv) companies that would want to provide knowledge to their customers of their current alcohol level, such as lounge and bar owners, or customers attending a golfing event. We believe SOBR offers a unique solution to the national alcohol abuse problem.

Our only product is SOBR. The SOBR device is a patented system for use in detecting alcohol in a person’s system by measuring the ethanol content in their perspiration and determining whether that level is over or under a preset level set by the installer or a trained technician. Currently, we have several “prototype” units developed that we believe are ready for use, but are constantly looking for ways to improve the device. SOBR works by having an individual touch a sensor for approximately six seconds, the sensor is specific to ethanol. It detects ethanol secreted through sweat that emanates from the hands. The product is produced in two basic forms. The first is an in-vehicle system that can be connected to an interlock system to prevent the operation of the vehicle in the event the sensor detects measurable ethanol content. The second product is a portable unit that can be used anywhere.
3
The in-vehicle unit can be either retrofitted or built into the steering wheel, yoke or trim of any machine, including automobiles, buses, trucks, boats and aircraft. Once the driver touches the sensor for approximately six seconds, the SOBR device detects ethanol secreted through sweat that emanates from the hands. If the vehicle is fitted with an interlock device, then the ethanol level is instantly translated into an engine "start" or "no-start" signal. SOBR can also initiate random real-time tests while the vehicle is operating to ensure that the operator's ethanol level does not increase over the preset limit after the vehicle is started. If the system is tampered with while parked, the vehicle will not start. If the device is tampered with while driving, alarms will activate, such as the vehicle lights and horn, drawing attention to the vehicle. If a vehicle is equipped with a Global Positioning System, or Data Transmission Module, SOBR can alert fleet operators or others monitoring a vehicle of the detection of alcohol above preset levels.
When SOBR is installed in a vehicle the system is virtually unnoticeable, unlike breathalyzer ignition interlock systems. SOBR requires approximately one hour to install in a vehicle. The control box can be mounted under the dash in the interior of the vehicle. In new vehicles the sensor can be installed as part of the steering wheel. In retrofits, the sensor is installed on the dashboard for easy access. We believe that our cost to manufacture a SOBR device will be approximately $100, and if the unit is installed in a vehicle the installation cost will be approximately $75. SOBR requires a semi-annual recalibration much like current smog devices. The recalibration is accomplished with a hand held device plugged into the control box and requires a trained technician approximately one hour to complete.
We plan to license the installation and recalibration rights to the automotive service industry.
The portable unit is similar in size and looks to a black, non-flip mobile telephone and can be temporarily attached to a solid fixture for more convenient usage. The portable unit can be used to test individuals before they are allowed to perform certain functions. As a portable unit the system will signal through the use of lights whether the tested individual is over a preset level. The company utilizing the device may then use the information how it sees fit.
Marketing
We have developed a marketing plan that our management believes will gain market recognition, as well as hopefully generate demand, for the SOBR device, primarily through trade shows, industry publications, general solicitation, social media, and public relations. We plan to sell the SOBR device through the use of selling groups, such as channel sales, distributors, and independent sales contractors. We believe the primary market for the in-vehicle SOBR device initially is the commercial vehicle market, such as trucking companies, taxi cab companies, limousine companies, and bus companies. Many of these companies have a significant financial interest in eliminating drunk drivers from their operations. Secondarily, individuals may desire to monitor a family member's vehicle, such as an automobile operated by a minor or a family member with a past alcohol issue.
We believe the primary market for the portable SOBR device is its use by companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave.
As a result, we initially plan to market SOBR to the voluntary, commercial market:
o
|
commercial transportation companies that operate tractor trailers, taxis, construction vehicles, boats, trains, aircraft and other vehicles;
|
o
|
local, state and federal government agencies that operate fire trucks, police cars and public transportation systems; and
|
o
|
individuals that desire to monitor a family member's vehicle, such as a vehicle operated by a minor.
|
o
|
a variety of government and military employees, such as sailors in the Navy who might be tested before boarding a ship after off-base leave.
|
4
We plan to establish a distribution system of individuals and companies including value-added resellers (VARS), channel sales teams, and independent contractors, to sell the products to the market.
Manufacturing
The manufacture of all components of the SOBR, as well as component assembly, will be subcontracted to third parties. We plan to perform the final assembly, testing and calibration of the SOBR device at the company’s California location. In order to assemble the SOBR device a manufacturer only needs the space, manpower, and common, non-exotic equipment.
Our steps to the point of revenue generation, assuming we have sufficient funding, are as follows: (i) field and clinical testing of the SOBR device, which we estimate to complete in three months at a cost of $40,000; (ii) adjust the device based on the results of the tests, which we estimate to complete in two months at a cost of $60,000; (iii) manufacture, in-house, up to 1,000 units to have inventory on hand in the event of an order, which we estimate to complete in three months at a cost of $100,000; (iv) refine the device based on feedback, if necessary, which we estimate to complete in one month at a cost of $20,000; and (v) identify and contract with manufacturing facilities to build the device in quantity, when necessary, which we estimate to complete in four months at a cost of $15,000. Some of the above steps would run in parallel with other steps so we estimate the overall time to revenue generation would be less than 13 months listed above, likely closer to 8-9 months.
Competition
Currently, to our knowledge, breath analyzer ignition interlocks are the only products on the market which can detect alcohol and lock the ignition system of a vehicle. There are several limitations inherent with current design of breath analyzers that can be circumvented and are invasive in their appearance and use. At present, their market is substantially made up of the mandated market (the legal market as a punitive testing device). If breath analyzer sales occur outside the mandated market, to our knowledge, that represents a much smaller sales number as percentage of business.
We believe SOBR has the following advantages over the majority of traditional breath analyzers:
o
|
Can be programmed to work during the entire operation of the vehicle without distracting the driver;
|
o
|
The system can be considered as non-invasive comparatively
|
o
|
Easy retro fit installation;
|
o
|
Unobtrusive in the vehicle;
|
o
|
Difficult to circumvent;
|
o
|
Possible opportunity for the consumer to obtain insurance discounts that could offset some costs of the system. Although presently no insurance company is offering a premium discount, nor do we see that happening in the near future.
|
To date the breath analyzer companies are predominantly focused on the mandated market and are not pursuing the commercial market with the same effort.
Intellectual Property
As a portable unit the system will signal through the use of lights that the tested individual is over a preset level.

When SOBR is installed in a vehicle the system is less noticeable than the most common breathalyzer ignition interlock systems. SOBR requires approximately one hour to install in a vehicle. The control box can be mounted under the dash in the interior of the vehicle. In new vehicles the sensor can be installed as part of the steering wheel as well as many other places in the vehicle that are convenient easily assessable to the driver In retrofits, the sensor is installed on the dashboard for easy access. We believe that our cost to manufacture a SOBR device will be approximately $100, and if the unit is installed in a vehicle the installation cost will be approximately $75. SOBR requires a semi-annual recalibration much like current smog devices. The recalibration is accomplished with a hand held device plugged into the control box and requires a trained technician approximately one hour to complete.
We plan to license the installation and recalibration rights to various retail and service businesses in the automotive service industry.
SOBR is protected by the following three patents, filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
1.
|
Patent 6620108, which expires on December 26, 2021, pertains to the technology that identifies the vehicle's operator.
|
2.
|
Patent 7173536, which expires on August 28, 2024, pertains to the substance detection and alarm system.
|
3.
|
Patent 7377186, which expires on April 6, 2025, pertains to the interface system between the substance detection system and vehicle ignition system.
|
These patents are “use” patents that cover the SOBR system and how its components are utilized together to form the system. We do not have patents over any individual component parts, and in fact, most of the components utilized to manufacture the SOBR device are available for purchase by the general public.
We filed a new patent application in March 2012 regarding refinements to the SOBR system, which is currently under review by the USPTO.
Government Regulation
At the present time, only the judicially-mandated market is regulated. Devices sold into this market must be approved by state government agencies. Since we plan to enter this market last, we will not, initially, be subject to government regulation. Although we realize we would be subject to regulation if and when we were to enter the mandated market.
Regarding the use in vehicles, we believe SOBR offers a unique solution to the national drunk driving problem and have been and are continuing to perform beta testing of SOBR for this use. Our objective is to grow our sales and manufacturing of SOBR by aggressively pursuing the original equipment market (“OEM”) once final beta testing is completed. We intend to seek an experienced OEM partner to introduce SOBR to the new automotive market. We believe that an increase in public awareness and consumer interest as well as potential cost savings will generate a demand for alcohol sensing technology. We hope that auto manufactures will begin installing SOBR as a factory installed option. If that happens we expect it would occur for some time in the future. We will also market SOBR to international car manufacturers which may want to gain a market advantage over domestic auto manufacturers. We will seek to enter other markets as well, such as commercial trucking, as well as seek to have included in federal legislation a requirement that alcohol sensing devices with ignition locking systems be retrofitted in all vehicles in the U.S. France is one country that has created laws that mandate vehicles to have an alcohol detection device on all private vehicles.
Regarding the use in monitoring employees and contractors in certain industries, such as surgeons, pilots and the military, we are in the process of meeting with potential customers in certain identified business segments.
6
Currently, we do not have the money or funding to achieve the above goals and we will not be able to achieve our goals unless we are successful in obtaining funding through this offering and potentially future offerings as well, all which may serve to dilute the ownership position of our current and future shareholders.
Ventura Agreement
On September 15, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Ventura LLC (“Ventura”), whereby Ventura will be paid a finder’s fee in our common stock on investments brought to us through their introduction, as well as business consultants assisting us with bringing our product to market. Pursuant to the agreement, Ventura will receive the following shares of our common stock:
o
|
842,544 shares for assisting with the acquisition of the 52% interest in TBT;
|
o
|
842,544 shares when $250,000 is raised from the sale of 100,000 shares of the common stock of TBT at $2.50 per share. All shares sold in this offering will be exchanged for shares of our common stock on the basis of one TBT share for 7.726 shares of our common stock;
|
o
|
842,544 for shares we sold prior to March 31, 2012 to investors introduced to us by Ventura, provided at least $250,000 is raised from such investors prior to March 31, 2012.
|
As of December 31, 2012, Ventura had raised $334,156 for either TBT or the Company.
Employees
As of December 31, 2012 we employed one person on a full time basis and three persons on a part-time basis.

ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS.
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:
We have a limited operating history and historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our performance.
You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages of development. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our existing and new products. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business and impair the value of our common stock. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate the positive cash flows or profits we anticipate in the future. We were incorporated in Delaware on August 10, 2007. Our business to date business focused on developing and improving our product, filing patents, and hiring management and staff personnel. Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business and developing new products. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, lack of consumer acceptance, competition, product development, and inadequate sales and marketing. The failure by us to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given that we can or will ever operate profitably.
We may not be able to meet our future capital needs.
To date, we have not generated any revenue and we have limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to develop our products, cash flow from operations, and competing market developments. We will need additional capital in the near future. Any equity financings will result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders. Sources of debt financing may result in high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we will be required to reduce or curtail operations.
If we cannot obtain additional funding, our product development and commercialization efforts may be reduced or discontinued and we may not be able to continue operations.
We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operations since our inception and we expect the negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. Unless and until we are able to generate revenues, we expect such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As discussed in our financial statements, there exists substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Product development efforts are highly dependent on the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand combined with our ability to raise additional capital to support our future operations through one or more methods, including but not limited to, issuing additional equity or debt.
In addition, we may also raise additional capital through additional equity offerings, and licensing our future products in development. While we will continue to explore these potential opportunities, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that we will be successful in licensing our future products. Based on our current projections, we believe we have insufficient cash on hand to meet our obligations as they become due based on current assumptions. The uncertainties surrounding our future cash inflows have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
8
Current economic conditions and capital markets are in a period of disruption and instability which could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets, and thus adversely affect our business and liquidity.
The current economic conditions and financial crisis have had, and will continue to have, a negative impact on our ability to access the capital markets, and thus have a negative impact on our business and liquidity. The shortage of liquidity and credit combined with the substantial losses in worldwide equity markets could lead to an extended worldwide recession. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the capital markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets has been and continues to be severely restricted at a time when we need to access such markets, which could have a negative impact on our business plans. Even if we are able to raise capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us. We cannot predict the occurrence of future disruptions or how long the current conditions may continue.
Because we face intense competition, we may not be able to operate profitably in our markets.
The market for our product is highly competitive and is becoming more so, which could hinder our ability to successfully market our products. We may not have the resources, expertise or other competitive factors to compete successfully in the future. We expect to face additional competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. Many of our competitors have greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to:
·
|
develop and expand their product offerings more rapidly;
|
·
|
adapt to new or emerging changes in customer requirements more quickly;
|
·
|
take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily; and
|
·
|
devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can.
|
If our products do not gain expected market acceptance, prospects for our sales revenue may be affected.
We intend to use the SOBR device in the commercial market, as opposed to the judicially-mandated market. Currently, most alcohol sensing devices are breath analyzers used in the judicially-mandated market where the use is usually required by law as a punishment for the committing a crime. We will be asking commercial industries, auto manufacturers, companies that have commercial vehicles as their primary business (limousine companies, taxi cab companies, truck drivers, etc.), and companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities (such as surgeons, pilots, and the military, adopt a new requirement that their employees or contractors must abide in order to remain employed. While we believe this will be attractive to many companies and industries we must achieve some level of market acceptance to be successful. If we are unable to achieve market acceptance our investors could lose their entire investment.
If critical components become unavailable or contract manufacturers delay their production, our business will be negatively impacted.
Currently, we purchase the parts to build the SOBR device “of the shelf”, meaning they are generally available for anyone to purchase and they are not parts made exclusively for us. However, those parts are crucial for us to be able to build the SOBR device and the stability of component supply is crucial to our manufacturing process. As some critical devices and components are supplied by certain third-party manufacturers, we may be unable to acquire necessary amounts of key components at competitive prices.
Outsourcing the production of certain parts and components is one way to reduce manufacturing costs. We plan to select these particular manufacturers based on their ability to consistently produce these products according to our requirements in an effort to obtain the best quality product at the most cost effective price. However, the loss of all or one of these suppliers or delays in obtaining shipments could have an adverse effect on our operations until an alternative supplier could be found, if one may be located at all. This may cause us to breach our contracts and lose sales.
9
If our contract manufacturers fail to meet our requirements for quality, quantity and timeliness, our business growth could be harmed.
We plan to outsource the manufacturing of SOBR to contract manufacturers. These manufacturers will procure most of the raw materials for us and provide all necessary facilities and labor to manufacture our products. If these companies were to terminate their agreements with us without adequate notice, or fail to provide the required capacity and quality on a timely basis, we would be delayed in our ability or unable to process and deliver our products to our customers.
Our products could contain defects or they may be installed or operated incorrectly, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.
Although we have quality assurance practices to ensure good product quality, defects still may be found in the future in our future products.
End-users could lose their confidence in our products and Company when they unexpectedly use defective products or use our products improperly. This could result in loss of revenue, loss of profit margin, or loss of market share. Moreover, because our products may be employed in the automotive industry, if one of our products is a cause, or perceived to be the cause, of injury or death in a car accident, we would likely be subject to a claim. If we were found responsible it could cause us to incur liability which could interrupt or even cause us to terminate some or all of our operations.
If we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel, our business could be harmed.
Our growth and success highly depend on qualified personnel. Competition in the industry could cause us difficulty in recruiting or retaining a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel, which could harm our ability to develop new products. If we are unable to attract and retain necessary key talents, it would harm our ability to develop competitive product and retain good customers and could adversely affect our business and operating results.
We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights.
We currently have three “use” patents covering the SOBR device and one other pending with the USPTO. These are not patents over the components of the device, but instead covering the use of those components in the SOBR device. Our ability to compete partly depends on the superiority, uniqueness and value of our intellectual property. To protect our proprietary rights, we will rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. Despite these efforts, any of the following occurrences may reduce the value of our intellectual property:
·
|
Our applications for patents relating to our business may not be granted and, if granted, may be challenged or invalidated;
|
·
|
Issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages;
|
·
|
Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology;
|
·
|
Our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or superior to those we develop; or
|
·
|
Another party may obtain a blocking patent and we would need to either obtain a license or design around the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature or service in our products.
|
10
We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents that would be expensive and time consuming.
In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent litigation against third parties. In addition, we may become subject to interference or opposition proceedings conducted in patent and trademark offices to determine the priority and patentability of inventions. The defense of intellectual property rights, including patent rights through lawsuits, interference or opposition proceedings, and other legal and administrative proceedings, would be costly and divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put our pending patent applications at risk of not being issued.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. For example, during the course of this kind of litigation, confidential information may be inadvertently disclosed in the form of documents or testimony in connection with discovery requests, depositions or trial testimony. This disclosure could have a material adverse effect on our business and our financial results.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or timely or to detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
An effective internal control environment is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is an important part of our effort to prevent financial fraud. We are required to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. Based on these evaluations, we may conclude that enhancements, modifications, or changes to internal controls are necessary or desirable. While management evaluates the effectiveness of our internal controls on a regular basis, these controls may not always be effective. There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls, including collusion, management override, and failure of human judgment. In addition, control procedures are designed to reduce rather than eliminate business risks. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, or if management or our independent registered public accounting firm discovers material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, including subjecting us to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such actions could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or limit our access to capital.
Under the terms of our investment agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, up to 30,000,000 shares of our common stock will be available for resale if we exercise the maximum amount of put notices under the agreement. The availability for sale of such a large amount of our stock may decrease the price at which our investors are able to sell their shares.
Under the terms of the financing with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“Kodiak”), up to 30,000,000 shares of our common stock will be available for resale if we exercise the maximum amount of put notices. The sale of all or substantially all of those shares in the public market, or the market's expectation of such sales, may result in an immediate and substantial decline in the market price of our shares. Such a decline will adversely affect our investors, and make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through equity offerings in the future. Additionally, any sales of the common stock by the selling stockholder will likely reduce the price of our common stock, which in turn would lead to additional shares being issued upon future put notices. This would lead to further dilution to our shareholders.
11
Under the terms of the investment agreement, Kodiak will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock.
The common stock to be issued pursuant to our investment agreement with Kodiak will be issued at 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the five trading days following the put notice date. This discounted purchase price could be significantly lower than our then-current stock price. These discounted sales could cause the price of our common stock to decline, which would cause the value of the shares held by existing shareholders to decline
Sales of our shares by Kodiak, which is likely to occur, could cause our stock price to decline.
Kodiak likely intends to sell shares of our common stock. That means that up to 7,000,000 shares of common stock, the number of shares being registered for resale for Kodiak, may be sold in the public market. In addition, Kodiak has an incentive to sell shares received quickly, because in doing so they can ensure that they will recover the discount to market price at which they acquire those shares. Such sales will likely cause our stock price to decline.
Our common stock has been thinly traded and we cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop.
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our common stock is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering.
Our investment agreement with Kodiak may restrict our ability to engage in alternative financings.
Because of the structure of our investment agreement with Kodiak, we will be deemed to be involved in a near continuous indirect primary public offering of our securities. As long as we are deemed to be engaged in a public offering, our ability to engage in a private placement will be limited because of integration concerns. Additionally, we may not be as attractive of a candidate for other financing arrangements by other investors as a result of the terms of the investment arrangement with Kodiak.
Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

ITEM 1B – UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
This Item is not applicable to us as we are not an accelerated filer, a large accelerated filer, or a well-seasoned issuer; however, we have not received written comments from the Commission staff regarding our periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within the last 180 days before the end of our last fiscal year.
ITEM 2 – PROPERTIES
Our executive offices, consisting of approximately 500 square feet, are located at 194 Marina Drive, Suite 202, Long Beach, CA 90803. We sublease this space from Preferred Asset Management, an entity that Nicolas Limer, one of officers and directors, is a principal, at a rate of $1,000 per month. We use this space for our executive offices. We do not own our own manufacturing facility but plan to outsource with third party manufacturing companies for our manufacturing.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 21, 2012, we were mail served with a legal action entitled, Involuntary Petition, Chapter 7, pursuant to which petitioning creditor Bill Bowman filed an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding with the stated purpose of putting TransBiotec, Inc., a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, into a bankruptcy. Subsequently we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Mr. Bowman and on April 2, 2013 we filed a Motion to Dismiss with the Court to have this matter dismissed with prejudice.
On December 6, 2006, Orange County Valet and Security Patrol, Inc. filed a lawsuit against us in Orange County California State Superior Court for Breach of Contract in the amount of $9,720.00. A default judgment was taken against us in this matter. However, the judgment had not been entered for a long period time, but we recently learned the Plaintiff’s have perfected the judgment against us, but we have not heard from the Plaintiffs for a long period time.
On May 11, 2012, we sued William Cooper, Travis Cooper and William Bowman in a case entitled, TransBiotec, Inc. v. William Cooper, Travis Cooper, William Bowman, Superior Court of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2012-00568440-CU-BC- CJC, for breach of contract, intentional interference, with contractual relations, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, defamation, and unfair business practices . According to the Complaint the lawsuit was based on false and misleading claims made by the Defendants, as well as tortious interference with our business and contacts. The Complaint sought unspecified damages to be determined by the Court or trier of fact. William Cooper, Travis Cooper and William Bowman all filed timely Answers. Kula Management, Inc. did not file an Answer and we received a default judgment against Kula Management, Inc. Travis Cooper and William Cooper filed cross-complaints alleging breach of contract. William Cooper’s cross-complaint was disallowed due to failure to file timely. As part of the settlement with Mr. Bowman mentioned above, this lawsuit was dismissed by all parties, effective March 22, 2013.
13
We currently have three judgments against us involving past employees of the company. These matters are under the purview of the State of California, Franchise Tax Board, Industrial Health and Safety Collections. We currently owe approximately $97,464.21, plus accrued interest, to our ex-employees for unpaid wages under these Orders and are working to get these amounts paid off.
On November 14, 2005, Fashion Furniture Rental, Inc. filed a lawsuit against TBT in the Orange County California State Superior Court for breach of contract. In 2012 Fashion Furniture Rental obtained a judgment against the Company in the approximate amount of $61,000.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
We have not adopted any stock option or stock bonus plans.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
Overview
We are a development stage company in the process of developing an alcohol detection device called “SOBR”. The device is a patented system for use in detecting alcohol in a person’s system by measuring the ethanol content in their perspiration. Once SOBR is developed and tested, we plan to market the device to four primary business segments: (i) as an aftermarket-installed device to companies and institutions that employ or contract with vehicle drivers, such as trucking companies, limousine companies, and taxi cab companies, where the system will be marketed as a preventative drunk driving detection system, with a possible ignition locking device, (ii) the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) market, where the device would be installed in new vehicles during the original building of a vehicle, (iii) companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave or prior to leaving for a mission, and (iv) companies that would want to provide knowledge to their customers of their current alcohol level, such as lounge and bar owners, or customers attending a golfing event. We believe SOBR offers a unique solution to the national alcohol abuse problem.
We have developed a marketing plan that our management believes will gain market recognition for the SOBR device, primarily through trade shows, industry publications, general solicitation, social media, and public relations, as well as hopefully generating the demand for the SOBR device through the use of selling groups, such as channel sales, distributors, and independent sales contractors. We believe the primary market for the in-vehicle SOBR device initially is the commercial vehicle market, such as trucking companies, taxi cab companies, limousine companies, and bus companies. Many of these companies have a significant financial interest in eliminating drunk drivers from their operations. Secondarily, individuals may desire to monitor a family member's vehicle, such as an automobile operated by a minor or a family member with a past alcohol issue.
We believe the primarily market for the portable SOBR device is its use by companies and institutions that have an interest in monitoring their employees’ or contractors’ alcohol level due to their job responsibilities, such as surgeons prior to entering surgery, pilots prior to flying aircraft, mineworkers prior to entering a mine, or the military for personnel returning to a military base from off-base leave.
We are currently performing beta testing of SOBR.

Corporate Overview
We were formed in August 2007 to publish and distribute Image Magazine, a monthly guide and entertainment source for the Denver, Colorado area. We generated only limited revenue and essentially abandoned its business plan in January 2009. On September 19, 2011 we acquired approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of TBT from TBT's directors, in exchange for 12,416,462 shares of our common stock.
On January 31, 2012, we acquired approximately 45% of the remaining outstanding shares of TBT in exchange for 10,973,678 shares of our common stock.
Between the acquisitions in September 2011 and January 2012 we own approximately 97% of the outstanding shares of TBT.
As a result of the acquisition, TBT's business is our business, and, unless otherwise indicated, any references to we or us, include the business and operations of TBT.
TBT as the accounting acquirer in the transaction recorded the acquisition as the issuance of stock for our net monetary assets accompanied by a recapitalization. This accounting for the transaction was identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded.
We have developed and patented a high technology, state-of-the-art transdermal sensing system that detects blood alcohol levels through a person's skin.

Operating Loss; Net Loss
Our net loss increased by $2,378,678, from ($1,182,243) to ($3,560,921) from the year ended 2011 compared to 2012. Our operating loss increased by $2,249,528, from ($637,788) to ($2,887,316) for the same period. The increase in operating loss and net loss compared to the prior year is primarily a result of our increase in general and administrative expenses, as well as our increase in interest expense. These changes are detailed below.
Revenue.
We have not had any revenues since our inception. Prior to September 2011 we were a company involved in publishing and distributing Image Magazine. Since September 2011, we have been involved in the development, testing and marketing SOBR, our unique alcohol sensing technology. Although we have not had any sales to date, we believe we are close to our first sales and revenue, possibly during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, but we believe that will be dependent upon on our ability to raise sufficient money to bring the SOBR device to market.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2,249,833, from $636,877 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $$2,886,710 for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase in our professional fees, as a result of product development costs, an increase in our research and product development costs, primarily related to the purchase of materials, an increase in our salary and wages, due to hiring two new sales representatives and a scientist, and an increase in our travel and marketing expenses.
19
Interest Income/Expense; Net.
Interest expense, net decreased by $356,261 to ($118,194), which includes a beneficial conversion feature of ($112,064). The significant decrease relates to the fact we incurred much less interest expense on certain loans where we borrowed money during 2012 compared to 2011.
Loss on Fair Value Adjustment - Derivatives
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred loss on fair value adjustment – derivatives of ($448,137) primarily due to the impact of a decline in our stock price on certain convertible instruments we have outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2012 was approximately $782 and our monthly cash flow burn rate is approximately $25,000. As a result, we have significant short term cash needs. These needs are being satisfied through proceeds from the sales of our securities. We currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs from our revenues for some time and there is no guarantee will be successful in the future satisfying these needs through the proceeds from the sales of our securities.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are as follows:

Our current assets decreased by $108,661 as of December 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011. The decrease in our total assets between the two periods was primarily attributed to a decrease in our cash on hand of $107,237, which was primarily due to the fact that shortly before December 31, 2011 we had received cash from the sales of our securities and we did not receive cash from the sale of our securities shortly before December 31, 2012.
Our current liabilities increased by $985,896, as of December 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011. A large portion of this increase was due to an increase in our notes payable to related parties and an increase in our notes payable with an equity obligation payable.. As a result, our total liabilities also increased by $800,521.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
20
Cash Requirements
We had cash available as of December 31, 2012 of $782 and $108,019 on December 31, 2011. Based on our revenues, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate of approximately $25,000, we will need to continue borrowing from our shareholders and other related parties, and/or raise money from the sales of our securities, to fund operations.
Sources and Uses of Cash

ITEM 7A – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 8 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
For a list of financial statements and supplementary data filed as part of this Annual Report, see the Index to Financial Statements beginning at page F-1 of this Annual Report.
ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There are no items required to be reported under this Item.
ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of the period ended December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (1) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. No matter how well conceived and operated, our disclosure controls and procedures can provide only a reasonable level of assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the company's operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
22
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and any disposition of our assets;
|
•
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
|
•
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Management has identified the following four material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We have not documented our internal controls. We have limited policies and procedures that cover the recording and reporting of financial transactions and accounting provisions. As a result we may be delayed in our ability to calculate certain accounting provisions. While we believe these provisions are accounted for correctly in the attached audited financial statements our lack of internal controls could lead to a delay in our reporting obligations. We were required to provide written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
23
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In order to remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls, we hope to hire additional qualified and experienced personnel to assist us in remedying this material weakness.
(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There are no changes to report during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012.
ITEM 9B – OTHER INFORMATION
There are no events required to be disclosed by the Item.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
1.
|
Other than the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding mentioned under Item 3. Legal Proceedings, which has been dismissed, no bankruptcy petition has been filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Committees
All proceedings of the board of directors for the year ended December 31, 2012 were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the board of directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of our board of directors. Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
We do not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our president at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the audit committee members are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.
Nomination Procedures For Appointment of Directors
As of December 31, 2012, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
We do not have a code of ethics.
27

Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

No director received compensation for the fiscal years December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase common shares as awarded by our board of directors or (as to future stock options) a compensation committee which may be established. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.

ITEM 13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
On April 10, 2012, we issued 12,416,462 shares of our common stock to our certain individuals, some of whom are now our officers and directors (Charles Bennington – 1,004,422 shares; Devadalt Mishal – 309,053 shares; Nicholas Limer – 5,466,720 shares; Sam Satyanarayana – 5,636,267 shares) pursuant to an Agreement to Exchange Securities dated September 19, 2011, in exchange for 52% of the outstanding shares of TransBiotec, Inc., ("TBT"). The shares issued in connection with the acquisition of TBT were restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the issuance of these shares. The persons who acquired these shares were all provided with information concerning the Company prior to the acquisition of their shares. The certificates representing the shares bear standard Rule 144 restrictive legends stating that the shares may not be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.
On March 22, 2012, we issued 75,758 shares our common stock to Devadalt Mishal, one of our directors, in exchange for $25,000. These shares were issued with a standard Rule 144 restrictive legend. Based on the representations of the investors in the stock purchase agreements the issuance of the shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The investors were sophisticated and familiar with our operations.
We lease our executive offices Preferred Asset Management, an entity where Nicolas Limer, one of officers and directors, is a principal. We pay PAM a rate of $1,000 per month for this office space.
On February 10, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 10,000 shares to each of the Company's then three directors for services to us during 2009. The shares were valued at $1.00 per share resulting in total compensation expense of $30,000, which was recorded as stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Corporate Governance
As of December 31, 2012, our Board of Directors consisted of Charles Bennington, Ronald Williams, Nicholas Limer, Sam Satyanarayana, and Devadatt Mishal. Mr. Satyanarayana and Mr. Mishal qualify as “independent directors” as the term is used in NASDAQ rule 5605(a)(2).

Chadwick for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.
Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors
The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors before the respective services were rendered.
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Ronald R. Chadwick, CPA and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Ronald R. Chadwick, CPA independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
TransBiotec, Inc.
Long Beach, California
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TransBiotec, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from July 19, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TransBiotec, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from July 19, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2012 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 8 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
TransBiotec, Inc. (“TransBiotec – DE”), formerly Imagine Media LTD., was incorporated August, 2007 in the State of Delaware. A corporation also named TransBiotec, Inc. (“TransBiotec – CA”) was formed in the state of California July 4, 2004. Effective September 19, 2011 TransBiotec - DE was acquired by TransBiotec - CA in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition as the shareholders of TransBiotec - CA retained the majority of the outstanding common stock of TransBiotec - DE after the share exchange. The financial statements represent the activity of TransBiotec - CA from July 4 2004 forward, and the consolidated activity of TransBiotec - DE and TransBiotec - CA from September 19, 2011 forward. TransBiotec - DE and TransBiotec - CA are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company". The Company has developed and plans to market and sell a non-invasive alcohol sensing system which includes an ignition interlock. The Company is currently considered to be in the development stage, and has not generated revenues from its activities.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Accounts receivable
The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2012 the Company had no balance in accounts receivable or the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under straight line methods over each item's estimated useful life.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms. The Company has had no revenues to date
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recorded no material advertising costs in 2011 or 2012.
Income tax
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying balance sheets, approximates fair value.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Products and services, geographic areas and major customers
The Company is currently in the developmental stage and has no revenue.
Stock based compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur.
At December 31, 2011 and 2012 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,041,000 and $5,063,000 respectively, which begin to expire in 2031. The deferred tax asset of at each date of $408,000 and $1,013,000 created by the net operating losses has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance in 2011 and 2012 was approximately $199,000 and $605,000.
NOTE 6. STOCK OPTIONS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS PAYABLE
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock options under ASC 718, whereby option costs are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

NOTE 7. REVERSE ACQUISITION
Effective September 19, 2011 TransBiotec - DE entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Agreement) with TransBiotec - CA and certain shareholders of TransBiotec - CA, acquiring 51.44% of the outstanding common stock of TransBiotec - CA through the issuance of 12,416,462 shares of its common stock with no readily available market price. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition as the shareholders of TransBiotec - CA retained the majority of the outstanding common stock of TransBiotec - DE after the share exchange. Effective with the Agreement, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was retroactively recapitalized as that of TransBiotec - CA, while the net deficit of TransBiotec - DE valued at ($191,081), consisting of cash $6, accounts payable $96,952, related party payables $54,835, notes payable $30,000, and interest payable $9,300, was recorded as being acquired in the reverse acquisition for its 1,410,650 outstanding common shares on the acquisition date. Subsequent to the September 19, 2011 recapitalization, TransBiotec - DE and TransBiotec - CA remain separate legal entities (with TransBiotec - DE as parent of TransBiotec - CA). The accompanying consolidated financial statements exclude the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of TransBiotec - DE prior to the September 19, 2011 acquisition. In December 2011 TransBiotec - DE acquired a further 46.1% interest in TransBiotec - CA through an exchange of 11,128,205 TransBiotec - DE common shares for 1,440,300 TransBiotec - CA common shares. In 2012 TransBiotec - DE acquired an additional 1.08% interest in TransBiotec - CA through an exchange of 251,105 TransBiotec - DE common shares for 32,500 TransBiotec - CA common shares. At December 31, 2011 and 2012 TransBiotec - DE owned 97.54% and 98.62% of TransBiotec – CA.

NOTE 8. GOING CONCERN
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit and stockholders' deficit, and in all likelihood will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with continuing marketing efforts along with general administrative expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions or others. By doing so, the Company hopes to generate revenues from sales of its alcohol sensing and ignition lock systems. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 9. OTHER MATTERS
In 2012 the Company filed an action in the Superior Court of California, Orange County against a shareholder group for business interference and breach of contract. The shareholder group had alleged various accusations of malfeasance toward the Company and filed an involuntary bankruptcy action against the Company in US Bankruptcy Court, Santa Ana Division. In January 2013 the parties reached a settlement whereby the Company agreed to pay various judgments held by the shareholder group of approximately $65,000 in exchange for the shareholder group surrendering its shares in the Company.
