Preliminary Notes –

Change in Fiscal Year

On November 30, 2012, the Company (then known as Intelligent Communication Enterprise Corporation (“ICE Corp.”)) and One Horizon Group PLC, a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“One Horizon UK”), consummated a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”), as a result of which One Horizon UK became a subsidiary of the Company, with former One Horizon UK shareholders holding approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding shares of ICE Corp. The Company’s name was subsequently changed to One Horizon Group, Inc. Prior to the Share Exchange, One Horizon UK had a June 30th fiscal year end, which, by virtue of One Horizon UK being deemed the accounting acquirer, became the fiscal year end of the Company. On February 13, 2013, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that the board of directors of the Company changed the Company's fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31. As a result of this change, the Company filed a transition report (“Transitional Report”) on Form 10-KT on May 13, 2013 to include the financial information for the six-month transition period from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 (the "Transition Period"). Prior to this Transitional Report, Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company (formerly ICE Corp.) covered the fiscal year from January 1 to December 31.  From this Transitional Report forward, the Company's filings reflect and are filed in accordance with the current year end, which is December 31.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 6, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the reverse split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-600.  The reverse split proportionately reduced the number of all issued and outstanding common shares and adjusted the number of shares underlying outstanding stock options and warrants.  Where appropriate, the application of this reverse split has been shown retroactively in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Restatement of Financial Statements

One Horizon Group, Inc. (the "Company") is restating its consolidated financial statements for the six month transition period ended December 31, 2012 and for the 12 months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 to correct errors related to the recognition of revenue from sales of perpetual licenses larger, top-tier ("Tier 1") and other ("Tier 2) telecom entities.  Contracts with Tier 1 entities typically require agreed-upon fixed payments over fixed future periods extending beyond one year.  Contracts with Tier 2 entities have long-term variable payment terms based on customer usage.  The Company historically recognized the present value of Tier 1 contracts at the time of delivery.  Revenue from Tier 2 contracts was historically recognized over the initial 5-year term on a straight-line basis.

The Company's decision to restate the aforementioned financial statements was made as a result of management's identification of errors related to the recognition of revenue from sales of perpetual licenses to certain Tier 1 and Tier 2 telecom entities.  On April 3, 2014, the Audit Committee, in consultation with management, including the CEO (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), concluded that certain sales of perpetual licenses were not accurately recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee subsequently determined that, as a result of applying the guidance in ASC 985-605-25-32, a portion of the revenue recognized at the time of the sale of perpetual licenses to certain Tier 1 entities should have been deferred and recognized in future periods.  The conclusion was also reached that revenue from contracts with Tier 2 entities should be recognized based on the timing of when payments become due (which is based on useage) rather than on a straight-line basis.  Accordingly, the Company’s  previously released financial statements for the transitional period of six months ended December 31, 2012 and for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 should no longer be relied upon.

The errors impacted accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets as well as revenue and net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.  As a result, revenue and net income (loss) were misstated in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 12 months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011 and accounts receivable and deferred revenue were misstated in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.  These errors were considered material to the consolidated financial statements. However, there is no change in the amount of revenue expected to be recognized over the life of the contracts, or in the amount and timing of cash collected under the master license contracts, just an adjustment to the accounting periods in which it is recognized.  In addition, this adjustment is merely a change in accounting policy and will not affect the Company’s operations in terms of the way we conduct our business, our sales contracts, business model and practices, our products and services, or our relationships with customers.


Unless otherwise noted, references to the “Company” in this Report include One Horizon Group, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.

PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

We develop and license software to telecommunications operators through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Horizon Globex GmbH and Abbey Technology GmbH, each incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (“Horizon Globex” and “Abbey Technology,” respectively).  Specifically, Horizon Globex and Abbey Technology develop software application platforms that optimize mobile voice, instant messaging and advertising communications over the internet, collectively, the “Horizon Platform.” Our proprietary software techniques (“SmartPacket™”) use internet bandwidth more efficiently than other techniques that are unable to provide a low-bandwidth solution.  The Horizon Platform is a bandwidth-efficient Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) platform for smartphones and tablets, and also provides optimized data applications including multi-media messaging and mobile advertising.  Using our SmartPacket™ platform, we have been able to significantly improve the efficiency by which voice signals are transmitted by radio over the Internet resulting in a 10X reduction in mobile spectrum required to transmit a VoIP call. We license our software solutions to telecommunications network operators and service providers in the mobile, fixed line, cable TV and satellite communications markets.  We are an ISO 9001 and ISO 20000-1 certified company with assets and operations in Switzerland, Ireland, the United Kingdom, China, India, Russia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The Horizon Platform delivers a turnkey mobile VoIP solution to telecommunications operators.  We believe that the technology underlying SmartPacket™, is the world’s most bandwidth-efficient VoIP technology.  Our VoIP platform allows voice calls over the Internet that use as little as 4kbps of data compared to around 48kbps offered by other optimized VoIP platforms, thereby enabling voice communications over limited bandwidth and congested cellular telecom data networks including 2G, 3G and 4G.  The kbps rates above include bi-directional voice communication including IP overhead.

History and Background

(1)  
 Share Exchange

On November 30, 2012, the Company (then known as Intelligent Communication Enterprise Corporation, referred herein below as “ICE Corp.”), and One Horizon Group PLC, a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom (“One Horizon UK”), consummated a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which ICE Corp. acquired One Horizon UK stock from its then existing shareholders in exchange for 17,853,476,138 shares of ICE Corp.’s common stock. Upon completion of this transaction, the shareholders of One Horizon UK controlled approximately 96% of the outstanding stock of ICE Corp. and One Horizon UK became a subsidiary of ICE Corp. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby ICE Corp. is the legal acquirer and One Horizon UK is the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer. On December 27, 2012, the Company changed its name to One Horizon Group, Inc.

To record the accounting effects of the reverse acquisition, the assets and liabilities of One Horizon UK (the accounting acquirer) are recognized and measured at their precombination carrying amounts. The assets and liabilities of ICE Corp. (the accounting acquiree) are recognized and measured consistent with accounting for business combinations, including recognition of fair values, effective as of November 30, 2012, the date of the Share Exchange transaction.
 
(2)  
History of ICE Corp before the Share Exchange

ICE Corp was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1972 as Coratomic, Inc. It changed its name to Biocontrol Technology, Inc. in 1986; BICO, Inc. in 2000; Mobiclear Inc. in 2006; and Intelligent Communication Enterprise Corporation in 2009.

Prior to the Share Exchange, ICE Corp had two operational businesses: Modizo, and Global Integrated Media Limited (GIM). The Modizo business consisted of a celebrity blogging application, while the GIM business consisted of custom publishing, advertising design, brand building, media representation, website design and development and market research programs. These operations had employees and expenses, and generated gross revenue of roughly $205,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  As the GIM and Modizo businesses did not fit within the Company’s business plan after the Share Exchange, both operational businesses were sold on December 31, 2012 for the return of 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by the purchaser, which had a fair value of $420,000.

       (3) One Horizon UK

One Horizon UK, was incorporated in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2004. Prior to the Share Exchange, the consolidated financial statements of One Horizon UK for its fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 consisted of two main business segments: (1) the Horizon Globex business segment including  One Horizon UK and two of its subsidiaries, Abbey Technology and Horizon Globex;  and (2) the Satcom Global business segment. However, the Satcom Global business was sold on October 25, 2012 as it became unprofitable. One the same day, Abbey Technology sold certain satellite billing software utilized in the Satcom Global business to the same purchaser. The entire purchase price for the software was paid by means of an offset against amounts owed by Abbey Technology and its affiliates to Satcom Global FZE, an entity acquired by the purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Satcom Global business.

 The financial statements for the 6 months ended December 31, 2012 and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 do not show any results of Satcom Global operation as that division was treated as discontinued operations.

Abbey Technology, founded in 1999 by our director and Chief Technology Officer, Brian Collins, is a software development company and licenses proprietary software solutions for the banking sector. The Horizon software platform was invented/developed in Abbey Technology by Brian Collins and Claude Dziedzic. Mr. Collins and Dziedzic have irrevocably assigned the patent for the Horizon Platform to Abbey Technology. Abbey Technology was subsequently acquired by One Horizon UK in September 2010.
 
(4)  Current Shareholding Structure of the Company

Global Phone Credit Ltd, incorporated in Hong Kong on December 15, 2012, is a wholly subsidiary of the Company.  One Horizon Group Pte Ltd, incorporated in Singapore on November 28, 2012, is a wholly owned subsidiary of One Horizon UK.  One Horizon Hong Kong Ltd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and was formed in 2012. One Horizon Hong Kong Ltd currently holds the Company’s 75% equity interest in Horizon Network Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary incorporated in China during 2013.  Horizon Globex Ireland Ltd, an Irish company incorporated on August 7, 2013, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Recent Developments

On February 18, 2013, we entered into a Subscription Agreement dated February 18, 2013 and an Amendment to Subscription Agreement dated as of February 18, 2013 (collectively, the “Subscription Agreement”) with a non-U.S. shareholder of us (the “Investor”), pursuant to which (i) we agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, an aggregate of 806,451 shares of our Common Stock, for an aggregate consideration of $6,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) or $7.44 per share, and (ii) we agreed to issue a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Investor exercisable for three years to purchase 403,225 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.44 per share. The Purchase Price is payable in three equal installments of $2,000,000 on March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively, with an accrued interest at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum and is secured by a pledge by the Investor to us of the Shares pro rata. 

On August 30, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated Subscription Agreement (the “Amended Subscription Agreement”) and an amended and restated warrant (the “Amended Warrant”) with the Investor.  The Amended Subscription Agreement and Amended Warrant reduced the exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant to $5.94 per share, and the Amended Subscription Agreement required the third installment of the Purchase Price to be paid by September 16, 2013, instead of September 30, 2013.  No other terms of the Subscription Agreement or Warrant were amended. The three installments of the Purchase Price were paid on time by the Investor.

On May 20, 2013, we announced the launch of new social networking features in its Horizon Call app on Android, enabling service providers to further differentiate themselves from over-the-top ("OTT") players by offering innovative, integrated mobile Voice, Messaging and Advertising services over Internet Protocol ("IP").

The new features, available for Android devices today, are integrated in the One Horizon Group suite of optimized mobile applications already leveraged by leading service providers globally.  Our mobile Voice, Messaging and Advertising over IP communication software platform is based on its Horizon SmartPacket™ technology, which reduces bandwidth consumption and latency to offer higher quality of service and longer uninterrupted call durations compared to other mobile voice over IP ("VoIP") solutions.

On July 29, 2013, we announced the release of our voice over IP (VoIP) technology as a software-library for smartphone App developers.  The Horizon software library allows smartphone app developers to integrate the Horizon VoIP optimizations with their current and their future apps.  Apps such as on-line gaming can now carry the gamer's voice in a high-quality and reliable way especially while on wireless networks such as 3G, bringing a new level of mobility to games that benefit from voice communications. Another use for the library is in the plethora of existing VoIP apps that currently employ inefficient SIP protocols. App-based gaming developers can now upgrade their users' voice-communication experience by deploying Horizon and integrating the Horizon software library in their apps.
 
On August 1, 2013, we announced the launch of our on-line Global Phone Credit (GPC) service add-on. The Horizon GPC service provides a complete Internet shop-front that performs the cash collection, credit card management and cash reconciliation services for all Horizon service providers that wish to avail themselves of it. This Horizon technology component seamlessly works alongside any legacy operator credit top-up services such as scratch-cards. The Horizon service provider can now also promote the GPC on-line payment portal allowing their subscribers to pay for their in-App credit using their credit card or a PayPal account.
 
On September 17, 2013, we opened a new software research and development office in the Nexus Innovation Centre on the campus of the University of Limerick in Ireland employing 3 software engineers. This on campus R&D office is focused on the research of the core software architecture as opposed to the mobile application developments and a lot of engineering and academics surrounding is required. We believe we will benefit from Irish Software Foundation’s creative thinking and further advance ourselves in research of our unique mobile VoIP solutions.
 
On November 4, 2013, we announced that we have further expanded our software suite of products by embedding a GPS location and tracking service into our smart phone App; the service is designed to work in conjunction with its advanced mobile App advertising service.

On December 31, we announced that Ishuo Network Information Co., a limited liability company, organized in China and controlled by One Horizon, agreed to make an investment in Chongqing Leixin Network Technology (“Leixin”), a joint venture with Leiqiang Telecommunications Co. Ltd (“Leiqiang”).  The joint venture, the final terms of which are currently under negotiation between the parties, will service the country’s fast-growing smart phone market by deploying One Horizon’s Internet optimization technology in conjunction with the Leiqiang 95131 area code number range throughout China.

The Leixin smart phone app will be able to provide various optimized Internet value added services to its mobile subscribers including but not limited to voice and social media services including text, picture, video and geo-location messaging. These value added services are made possible through the creation of a “Virtual SIM” that utilizes the 95131 area code number range and One Horizon’s proprietary communication software, an industry first.

The “Virtual SIM” is deployed via a Leixin-branded smart phone app that will also make use of the One Horizon on-line payment service to enable the purchase of call and message credits as well as the purchase and sharing of Stickers, Emojis & Emoticons. Combined with One Horizon’s location aware mobile advertising services, the Leixin branded smart phone app is expected to drive multiple revenue streams from the supply of its value-added services.  Leixin will seek to acquire 100 million new app subscribers for the Leixin branded smartphone app over a three-year period and expects to achieve industry average revenues per user (ARPU) for similar social media apps.

As part of the agreement, we expect to hold a 45% share of Leixin and be entitled to collect an annual recurring software license for each active subscriber on the Leixin network.
 
Industry

Rapid Growth in Global Telecommunication Services Market

The global telecommunication services market continues to experience growth. This growth is mainly being driven by the growth in the number of mobile subscribers. Although the mobile VoIP (or “mVoIP”) is a small percentage of the total revenue generated by mobile telecommunications providers, Visiongain, an independent business information provider for the telecommunications industry, among others, expects this market to grow significantly as a number of commercial and technological factors alter mobile voice communications (http://www.visiongain.com/Press_Release/475/The-Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol-(VoIP)-Market-2013-2018). These factors include innovative smartphone designs with improved user interfaces and acoustics, increased acceptance of VoIP and overall increases in broadband penetration. According to Visiongain.  In 2013,  “VoIP is poised for explosive growth, underpinned by the widespread adoption of integrated social media based VoIP solutions” like those provided by One Horizon.  Visiongain further advises that “it is very important for Operators to embrace VoIP and focus on building viable business models that are mutually beneficial to the VoIP service provider and telecom operator”.  We are precisely targeting this operator market with our turnkey mobile VoIP solution branded for each of our operator customers.
 
The growth of smartphones and tablets is a key driver for us in increasing the number of customers and revenue.  In 2013, the number of smartphones shipped exceeded one billion according to International Data Corporation (https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS24645514), a provider of market intelligence in the industry. This represents an increase of 38.4% on the number of smartphones shipped in 2012.  Smartphones consume 24X more data than the “feature phones” that they replace due to higher usage of data, VoIP, and video services, which creates a significant strain on existing carrier infrastructure and creating potentially severe network congestion issues particularly in high density and high population markets.

The increase in mobile data consumption has been driven by the availability of cheap GSM (global system for mobile communications) data and the massive uptake of smartphones and tablets, devices on which our mobile application, Horizon Call, was designed to run.
 
In its paper titled “Cisco Visual Networking Index: Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, 2013–2018” Cisco projects global mobile data traffic to increase 13-fold between 2013 and 2018 (source link: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-provider/visual-networking-index-vni/white_paper_c11-520862.html). According to Cisco, at the end of 2012, the number of mobile-connected devices exceeded the number of people on earth, and by 2017, it is expected that there will be 1.4 mobile devices per capita. According to Cisco, in 2017, it is expected that 4G will account for ten percent of connections, but 45 percent of total traffic. Horizon Call addresses the need for efficient data on the next generation networks while tackling the need for efficient data usage on legacy networks in the world’s most populous countries.

Our Technology

SmartPacket™, our technology underlying the Horizon Platform, enables greater bandwidth efficiency by reducing IP overhead and optimizing packet flow, delivery and playback. It is also extremely efficient in the way it handles silence. Traditional VoIP calls send the same amount of data in both directions, regardless of whether someone is speaking or not. SmartPacket™ detects silence and sends “heartbeats” so that it does not sound like the line has been dropped. These heartbeats get sent at only 0.25kbps compared to approximately 24kbps on other VoIP platforms. In addition to low-bandwidth VoIP, SmartPacket™ can also be utilized to enhance data applications for personal computers (i.e., email, web browsing and instant messaging) which give the user total visibility and control over how much data they consume on pay-as-you-use internet connections such as satellite data connections.

The Horizon Platform has been developed entirely in-house and is fully compatible with digital telecommunications standards. It is capable of interconnecting any phone system over IP – on mobile, fixed and satellite networks.
 
The Horizon Platform was initially developed for the mobile satellite market by Abbey Technology to make the best use of the limited wireless bandwidth available, to minimize the amount of data consumed and ultimately to reduce costs for the end-user.
 
We further developed the Horizon Platform for the broader telecommunications market, while focusing on the mobile data sector. This sector also benefits from our optimized mobile VoIP software that allows voice calls over new and legacy cellular telecom data networks. With the explosive growth in smartphone sales and increased usage of mobile data services, mobile operators face the challenge of dealing with increasingly congested networks, more dropped calls and rising levels of churn. Since the wireless spectrum is a finite resource it is not always possible, or can be cost prohibitive, to increase network capacity. For these reasons, we believe that the demand for solutions which optimize the use of IP bandwidth will inevitably increase.
 
Our Strategy
 
We have developed a mobile application, “Horizon Call,” that enables highly bandwidth-efficient VoIP calls over a smartphone using a 2G/EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi or WiMax connection. Our Horizon Call application is currently available for the iPhone and for Android handsets.
 
Unlike the majority of mobile VoIP applications, Horizon Call creates a business-to-business solution for mobile operators, who will be our customers. Telecommunications operators are able to license, brand and deploy on a “white-labeled” basis that they can optimize to their business strategies.  The operators decide how to integrate it within their portfolio, how to offer it commercially and can customize the application according to their own branding.  Our solution helps them to manage rising traffic volumes while also combating the competitive threat to their voice telephony revenues from other mobile VoIP applications by giving its mobile data customers a more efficient mobile VoIP solution that adds value to their mobile data network.

We are positioning ourselves as an operator-enabler by licensing our technology to the operator in a manner that can be fully customized to the needs of their subscribers. As shown below, operators are able to offer our platform to deliver branded smartphone applications to their existing customers to help reduce lost Voice/Text revenue and minimize customer churn.
 
 
By offering Horizon Call to their existing customer base, our telecommunications operator customers can offer innovative data-based voice and data services that differentiate themselves from the existing Over The Top (“OTT”) data applications running on their networks. OTT refers to voice and messaging services that are delivered by a third party to an end user’s smartphone, leaving the mobile network provider responsible only for transporting Internet data packets and not the value-added content. The Horizon Call voice services allow the mobile operators’ customers to make VoIP calls under the mobile operators’ call plans, thereby allowing the mobile operator to capture the value-added content, including voice calls, text messaging, voice messaging, group messaging, multimedia messaging, and advertising, that would have otherwise gone to the providers of other OTT services.
 
Horizon Call runs on both smartphone and tablet devices and, as networks become more congested, software services such as Horizon Call become ever more relevant. We believe that although more network capacity will eventually come on stream with 4G/LTE, it, like all other highways, will quickly become congested and this is why we believe that Horizon Call is ideally placed to add value to mobile data networks.
 
Incumbent mobile operators are suffering a reduction in revenue per user due to the OTT software services on mobile devices. These OTT applications, such as Skype, Viber, WeChat, and WhatsApp, can negatively impact mobile operators’ traditional revenue streams of voice and SMS (short message service). As shown below, the Horizon Platform positions the Company to enable mobile operators to operate their own OTT solution branded in their image allowing use on all mobile data networks.

In addition to delivering new data services to their existing customers, the mobile operators can offer their brand of Horizon Call on any other operators’ handsets. Because the Horizon Call application can be installed on the smartphone from the Internet, the potential customer base for the operators’ data application surpasses the customer base that they can reach through traditional mobile phone SIM card distribution. We believe that this service innovation, coupled with the fact that the Horizon Call application can also use existing mobile operator pre-paid credit redemption and distribution services, presents a very compelling service offering from the operator compared to OTT services.
 
We believe that emerging markets represent a key opportunity for Horizon Call because these are significant markets with high population densities, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones. China is expected to lead with 301 million units, a 33% share, followed by U.S. at a 15% share. India is expected to leapfrog from Rank 6 to Rank 3 in 2017 as its economy develops. These factors will put increased pressure on mobile operators to manage their network availability.
 
In this context, where necessary, we are forming a number of joint ventures with local partners in regions of various emerging markets to seize upon this opportunity.

Through one subsidiary, One Horizon Hong Kong, we invested $1.5 million for a 75% equity stake in our joint venture, Horizon Network Technology Co., Ltd, while our partner, ZTE Corporation, the second largest mobile handset manufacturer in the world and the fourth largest telecommunications equipment supplier in the world, holds a 25% equity stake in the joint venture. The Company is not a guarantor of any debt related to this joint venture.

In December  2013, Ishuo Network Information Co., Ltd (“Ishuo”), a Chinese company we control,  entered into an agreement (the “Leixin Agreement”) with Leiqiang Telecommunication Co., Ltd, (“Leiqiang”) to acquire 45% of the enlarged capital of Chongqing Leixin Network Technology (“Leixin”).  Pursuant to the Leixin Agreement, Leiqiang will contribute telephone numbers in the 95131 area code and gain access to Leixin's substantial telecommunications and data center infrastructure Under this arrangement, Leixin will be able to provide various optimized internet value added services to its mobile subscribers, including but not limited to voice and social media services including text, picture, video and geo-location messaging. These value added services are made possible through the creation of a “Virtual SIM” that utilizes the 95131 area code number range and One Horizon’s proprietary communication software, an industry first. The “Virtual SIM” will be deployed via a Leixin branded smart phone app that will also make use of the One Horizon on-line payment service to enable the purchase of call and message credits as well as the purchase and sharing of Stickers, Emojis & Emoticons.  Combined with One Horizon’s location aware mobile advertising services, the Leixin branded smart phone app is expected to drive multiple revenue streams from the supply of its value added services.
 
The Leixin joint venture will provide us  with additional sources of revenue through traditional software licensing fees plus subscriber revenues from consumers who sign up for the Leixin “Virtual SIM” through a Leixin branded smartphone app which will be available across various online App stores in China. Management will seek to acquire 100 million new subscribers for the Leixin branded smartphone app over a three-year period and expects to achieve industry average revenues per user (ARPU) for similar social media apps.
 
Marketing
 
Our marketing objective is to become a broadly adopted solution in the regions of the world with large concentrations of smartphone users and high network congestion. We aim at becoming the preferred solution for carriers who wish to deploy branded VoIP solutions that enable them to minimize revenue erosion, reduce churn, increase the effective capacity of their network infrastructure and improve user experience. We employ an integrated multi-channel approach to marketing, whereby we evaluate and focus our efforts on selling through Tier 1 and Tier 2 telecommunications companies to enable them to provide the Horizon Platform to their customers. We routinely evaluate our marketing efforts and try to reallocate budgets to identify more effective media mixes.
 
We conduct marketing research to gain consumer insights into brand, product, and service performance, and utilize those findings to improve our messaging and media plans. Market research is also leveraged in the areas of testing, retention marketing, and product marketing to ensure we bring compelling products and services to market.
 
Sales
 
Direct Sales. Our primary sales channel for the products and services of Horizon Platform is the sale of Horizon Platforms to Tier 1 and Tier 2 telecommunications companies to enable them to provide the product and services to their customers. We continue our efforts to develop new customers in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, South America, and, in the near future, North America.
 
Joint Ventures. In addition to our direct sales channel, we also offer increased sales through our joint venture channel. In this context, as mentioned above, we are working towards forming a number of joint ventures in areas where regulatory issues require local representation.
 
 
11

 
 
Target Markets. The markets for our primary and joint venture channels will have high population density, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones.
 
Competition
 
The Company’s direct competitors for its technology primarily consist of systems integrators that combine various elements of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) dialers and media gateways. Other dial-back solutions exist but they are not IP-based. Because SIP dialers and media gateways currently are unable to provide a low bandwidth solution, they do not currently compete with the Company’s technology in those markets in which their high bandwidth needs are unsupported by the existing cellular networks. They do, however, compete in those markets where the cellular networks are accessible by those SIP dialers and gateways.
 
The Company licenses the Horizon Platform to mobile operators, who in turn may offer the application to their end-user subscribers. The Company’s principal competitors for the mobile operators’ end-users are Skype, Viber, WeChat, and WhatsApp. Having a mobile operator’s subscriber opt to use the operator’s (branded) Horizon Call service instead of existing OTT services means that the mobile operator will gain market share of some of the OTT voice and messaging traffic. We are unaware of any other companies that seek to license VoIP technology directly to mobile operators.
 
One of the Company’s key competitive advantages is that it is not a threat to mobile operators. Rather, the Company’s Horizon Platform is a tool that can be used by mobile operators to compete against the OTT provider’s applications that are running on their networks. Through the Horizon Platform, mobile operators are able to compete directly with OTT services that, by their design, divert voice and messaging services away from mobile operators. The solution is delivered completely and is easy to install and operate. This means that a mobile operator has a turnkey mobile voice and messaging solution to deploy to its customer (i.e., the end-user).
  
The turnkey Horizon software platform and the Horizon SmartPacket™ technology give us a competitive advantage by managing credit, routing, rating, security, performance, billing and monitoring. Horizon SmartPacket™ is the world’s lowest bandwidth voice compression and transmission protocol and is 100% developed and owned by the Company. Though other software companies can offer part of this solution space,   we believe none offers it in such a complete and integrated fashion as we do. We believe it will take a substantial number of years to copy/replicate the Horizon Platform in its entirety, by which time we believe the Horizon Platform will have improved and further distanced itself from potential competition.
 
Intellectual Property
 
Our strategy with respect to our intellectual property is to patent our core software concepts wherever possible. The Company’s current software patent application, which is pending in Switzerland, reflects this strategy and protects the Horizon Platform and the central processing service of the Horizon Platform.
 
The Company endeavors to protect its internally developed systems and technologies. All of our software is developed “in-house,” and then licensed to our customers. We take steps, including by contracts, to ensure that any changes, modifications or additions to the Horizon Platform requested by our customers remain the sole intellectual property of the Company.
 
Research and Development and Software Products
 
The Company has spent approximately $1.2 million on research and development in the fiscal year 2013, all of which was capitalized as software development costs. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company launched its new social networking features in its Horizon Call app on Android, enabling service providers to further differentiate themselves from OTT players. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company released its VoIP technology as a software-library for smartphone App developers and it launched its online GPS service add-on. In the forth quarter of 2013, it opened a new software research and development office in the Nexus Innovation Centre on the campus of the University of Limerick in Ireland employing 3 software engineers. Additionally, the Company expanded its software suite of products by embedding a GPS location and tracking service into its smartphone App; the service is designed to work in conjunction with its advanced mobile App advertising service.

Overview

Operating through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Horizon Globex GmbH and Abbey Technology GmbH, our operations include the licensing of software to telecommunications operators and the development of software application platforms that optimize mobile voice, instant messaging and advertising communications over the Internet. Both subsidiaries do this by using proprietary software techniques that use internet bandwidth more efficiently than other technologies that are unable to provide a low-bandwidth solution. The Horizon Platform is a bandwidth-efficient Voice over Internet Protocol platform for smartphones and also provides optimized data applications including messaging and mobile advertising. We license our software solutions to telecommunications network operators and service providers in the mobile, fixed line and satellite communications markets. We are an ISO 9001 and ISO 20000-1 certified company with assets and operations in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, China, India, Singapore and Hong Kong.   
We have developed a mobile application, “Horizon Call,” which enables highly bandwidth-efficient VoIP calls over a smartphone using a 2G/EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi or WiMax connection. Our Horizon Call application is currently available for iPhones and for Android handsets.
 
Unlike other mobile VoIP applications, Horizon Call creates a business-to-business solution for mobile operators. It is a software solution that telecommunications operators license, brand and deploy. Mobile operators decide how to integrate Horizon Call within their portfolio and how to offer it commercially. Horizon Call can be customized according to each mobile operators’ own branding. It helps them to manage rising traffic volumes while combating the competitive threat to their voice telephony revenues from other mobile VoIP applications by giving its mobile data customers a more efficient mobile VoIP solution that adds value to their mobile data network.
 
 
16

 
 
We believe that emerging markets represent a key opportunity for Horizon Call because there are significant markets with high population density, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones. These factors will put increased pressure on mobile operators to manage their network availability.
 
In this context, the Company is forming a number of joint ventures with local partners in the region to seize upon this opportunity. As of the date of this report, we have formed joint ventures in India, Russia and China
 
We plan to continue to develop our products in areas with high population density, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones. We expect to form joint ventures when local regulations prevent us from accessing a particular market directly.
 
We plan to fund this proposed expansion through debt financing, cash from operations and potential equity financing. However, we may not be able to obtain additional financing at acceptable terms, or at all, and, as a result, our ability to continue to improve and expand our software products and to expand our business could be adversely affected.
 
Recent Developments

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed seven new master licensing agreements, two with tier one telecommunication operators in Asia and five with tier two telecommunication operators in Europe and Asia.
 
In December 2013, Ishuo, a company controlled by us, agreed to invest in a joint venture in China, Leixin for 45% of its equity interest. Leixin will service the country's fast-growing smart phone market by deploying One Horizon's Internet optimization technology in conjunction with the Leiqiang 95131 area code number range througout China. The Leixin smart phone app will be able to provide various optimized internet value added services to its mobile subscribers including but not limited to voice and social media services including text, picture, video and geo-location messaging. These value added services are made possible through the creation of a "Virtual SIM" that utilizes the 95131 area code number range and One Horizon's proprietary communication software, an industry first. The "Virtual SIM" will be deployed via a Leixin-branded smart phone app that will also make use of the One Horizon on-line payment service to enable the purchase of call and message credits as well as the purchase and sharing of Stickers, Emojis & Emoticons. Combined with One Horizon's location aware mobile advertising services, the Leixin branded smart phone app is expected to drive multiple revenue streams from the supply of its value-added services. Leixin will seek to acquire 100 million new app subscribers for the Leixin branded smartphone app over a three-year period and expects to achieve industry average revenues per user (ARPU) for similar social media apps.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, we continued to expand the applications of our mobile software and related marketing efforts in promising emerging markets.  During the quarter ending September 30, 2013, we completed the Microsoft Lync interconnectivity of Horizon Call.

In November 2013, we announced the addition of a GPS tracking and advertising service to the One Horizon App software suite.  The feature is designed to help in locating lost phones, allow operators to deliver relevant advertisements dynamically to subscribers, and enable subscribers to record and share their movements through social media.
 
In September 2013, we opened a new software research and development office, employing three experienced software engineers in the Nexus Innovation Centre on the campus of the University of Limerick in Ireland. This on campus R&D office is focused on the research of the core software architecture as opposed to the mobile application developments and a lot of engineering and academics surrounding is required. We believe we will benefit from Irish Software Foundation’s creative thinking and further advance ourselves in research of our unique mobile VOIP solutions.

In August 2013, we launched our online Global Phone Credit service add-on.  This service provides a complete Internet shop-front that performs the cash collection, credit card management and cash reconciliation services for all Horizon service providers that wish to avail themselves of it.  This Horizon technology component seamlessly works alongside any legacy operator credit top-up services such as scratch-cards.  The Horizon service provider can now also promote the GPC on-line payment portal allowing their subscribers to pay for their in-App credit using their credit card or a PayPal account.  The GPC service works in conjunction with the Horizon Global Exchange product suite. 
  
In July 2013, we released our VoIP technology as a software-library for smartphone App developers. The Horizon software library allows smartphone app developers to integrate the Horizon VoIP optimizations with their current and their future apps.  Apps such as on-line gaming can now carry the gamer's voice in a high-quality and reliable way especially while on wireless networks such as 3G, bringing a new level of mobility to games that benefit from voice communications. Another use for the library is in the plethora of existing VoIP apps that currently employ inefficient SIP protocols. App-based gaming developers can now upgrade their users’ voice-communication experience by deploying Horizon and integrating the Horizon software library in their apps.  The Horizon software library works in conjunction with the Horizon Global Exchange product suite.  A software license is required for the Horizon Global Exchange and for the Horizon software-library.

On May 20, 2013, we announced the launch of new social networking features in its Horizon Call app on Android, enabling service providers to further differentiate themselves from over-the-top ("OTT") players by offering innovative, integrated mobile Voice, Messaging and Advertising services over Internet Protocol ("IP").

The new features, available for Android devices today, are integrated in the One Horizon Group suite of optimized mobile applications already leveraged by leading service providers globally.  Our mobile Voice, Messaging and Advertising over IP communication software platform is based on its Horizon SmartPacket™ technology, which reduces bandwidth consumption and latency to offer higher quality of service and longer uninterrupted call durations compared to other mobile voice over IP ("VoIP") solutions.
On February 18, 2013, we entered into a Subscription Agreement dated February 18, 2013 and an Amendment to Subscription Agreement dated as of February 18, 2013 (collectively, the “Subscription Agreement”) with a non-U.S. shareholder of us (the “Investor”), pursuant to which (i) we agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, an aggregate of 806,451 shares of our Common Stock, for an aggregate consideration of $6,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) or $7.44 per share, and (ii) we agreed to issue a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Investor exercisable for three years to purchase 403,225 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.44 per share. The Purchase Price is payable in three equal installments of $2,000,000 on March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively, with an accrued interest at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum and is secured by a pledge by the Investor to us of the Shares pro rata. 

On August 30, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated Subscription Agreement (the “Amended Subscription Agreement”) and an amended and restated warrant (the “Amended Warrant”) with the Investor.  The Amended Subscription Agreement and Amended Warrant reduced the exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant to $5.94 per share, and the Amended Subscription Agreement required the third installment of the Purchase Price to be paid by September 16, 2013, instead of September 30, 2013.  No other terms of the Subscription Agreement or Warrant were amended. The three installments of the Purchase Price were paid on time by the Investor.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and accordingly, actual results in future periods could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements apply critical accounting policies described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
 
We consider our recognition of revenues, accounting for the consolidation of operations, accounting for stock-based compensation, accounting for intangible assets and related impairment analyses, accounting for equity transactions, and accounting for acquisitions to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Additionally, we consider certain judgments and estimates to be significant, including those relating to the timing of revenue recognition from the sales of perpetual licenses to certain Tier 1 and Tier 2 telecom entities, those relating to the determination of vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) for purposes of revenue recognition, useful lives for amortization of intangibles, determination of future cash flows associated with impairment testing of long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of stock options and other assessments of fair value. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
 
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 of our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013. Note 2  of our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013 discusses our restatement of previously issued financial statements to correct errors related to the recognition of revenue from sales of perpetual licenses to certain larger, top-tier (“Tier 1”) and other (“Tier 2”) telecom clients. Our previously disclosed Revenue Recognition accounting policy has been modified to address these errors. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Prior to recognizing revenue the Company establishes persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement for each type of revenue transaction based on a signed contract with the customer, verifies that delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, that the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
  
Software and licenses – revenue from sales of perpetual licenses to customers when payments for the licenses are fixed is recognized at the inception of the arrangement, unless the payment term exceeds one year and then only if the presumption that the license fee is not fixed or determinable can be overcome, presuming all other relevant revenue recognition criteria are met. If the presumption cannot be overcome, revenue is recognized as payments from the customer become due.  Revenue from sales of perpetual licenses when payments for the licenses are payable over a period exceeding a year and those payments are variable based on customer usage is recognized as payments from the customer become due.  The Company regards a “top-tier” telecom entity as a tier 1 carrier which has a direct connection to the Internet and the networks it uses to deliver voice and data services as well as a financially strong balance sheet and good credit rating..
  
Revenue for user licenses purchased by customers is recognized when the user license is delivered.
  
Revenue for maintenance services is recognized over the period of delivery of the services.
 
 
19

 
 
We enter into arrangements under which a customer purchases a combination of software licenses, maintenance services and post-contract customer support (“PCS”). As a result, judgment is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including how the price should be allocated among the deliverable elements if there are multiple elements. PCS may include rights to upgrades, when and if available, support, updates and enhancements. When vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all elements in a multiple element arrangement, revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each of the elements. VSOE of fair value is established by the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Accordingly, the judgments involved in assessing the fair values of various elements of an agreement can impact the recognition of revenue in each period. Changes in the allocation of the sales price between deliverables might impact the timing of revenue recognition, but would not change the total revenue recognized on the contract. When elements such as software and services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, we allocate revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, revenue is first allocated to the fair value of the undelivered elements and then allocated to the residual delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. No sales arrangements to date include undelivered elements for which VSOE does not exist.
For purposes of revenue recognition for perpetual licenses, the Company considers payment terms exceeding one year as a presumption that the fee in the transaction is not fixed or determinable.   This presumption however, may be overcome if persuasive evidence demonstrates that the Company has a business practice of extending payment terms and has been successful in collecting under the original terms, without providing any concessions.  In doing so, the Company considers if the arrangement is sufficiently similar to historical arrangements in terms of similar customers and products is assessing whether there is evidence of a history of successful collection.

In order to determine the Company’s historical experience is based on sufficiently similar arrangements, the Company considers the various factors, including the types of customers and products, product life cycle, elements included in the arrangement, length of payment terms and economics of license arrangement.

If the presumption cannot be overcome due to a lack of such evidence, revenue is recognized as payments become due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.  As a result, revenue from Tier 1 entities, which require agreed-upon fixed payments over fixed future periods extending beyond one year is recognized as payments become due rather than at the inception of the arrangement, and revenue from Tier 2 entities is recognized when payments become due (which is based on useage), rather than on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.  The Company does not have any sales contracts for which the presumption has been overcome and for which revenue has been recognized at the inception of the arrangement.
 
As of December 31, 2013, the following table sets forth the value of all existing contracts as it related to master licenses and the amount of revenue recognized to date as well as the revenue recognized during the 12 months ended December 31, 2013. This table represents the contract value for the sale of the master license, excluding other revenues recognized under the terms of the contract for maintenance, user licenses, and other sales.

Divestiture
 
On October 25, 2012, One Horizon UK sold its Satcom Global business.  Because the Satcom business was discontinued prior to the Share Exchange, the operations of Satcom Global have been excluded from the Company’s historical financial statement presentation of its fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012.  These historical financial statements are presented on a “carve out” basis, as described more fully in the notes to the financial statements.  The financial statements presented are of those companies that constituted the consolidated entity at the date of the consummation of the Share Exchange, consisting of three legal entities:  One Horizon UK and its subsidiaries Abbey Technology and Horizon Globex.

Revenue:  Our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $9.1 million as compared to approximately $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an decrease of roughly $1.3 million, or 13% The decrease was largely due to a one off sale of billing software totaling $5.0 million which is unlikely to recur, without that exceptional item revenue increased by approximately $3.8 million for the 12 months ending December 31, 2013, going forward management expects revenue to increase due to growth in sales of the Horizon Platform following the development of the GSM application, Horizon Call.
 
Cost of Revenue:  Cost of revenue was approximately $2.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to cost of sales on the same basis of approximately $2.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our cost of sales is primarily composed of the costs of ancillary hardware sold with the Horizon Platform together with the amortization of software development costs.
 
Gross Profit:  Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $6.7 million as compared to $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.   Our gross profits decreased by 21% from 2012 to 2013.  The main reason for the decrease was due to the to a one off sale of billing software totaling $5.0 million which is unlikely to recur,.    Going forward, Management expects gross profit to begin to grow as the smartphone market continues to expand globally, coupled with our belief that the  Company will be able to capitalize on market opportunities by entering areas with high population density, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones.
Going forward, management believes that gross profit will improve if sales continue to increase, although there can be no assurance of such.
 
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses and depreciation were approximately $6.9 million, or 75% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to approximately $8.0 million, or 77% of sales for the same period in 2012, a decrease of approximately $1.1 million. The decrease was due to one off none cash items including shares issued as management bonuses which occurred in 2012 but not in 2013.  Going forward, management expects these costs to rise due to various public company-related expenses including share-based compensation, and various legal, accounting and consulting services.
The costs in 2012 included a non cash bonus paid in shares (value $1.2m) to two officers (see last year’s 10K in the remuneration note)
 
Net Income/Loss: Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $698,000 as compared to a net income of $165,000 for the same period in 2012.  The increase in net loss reflected was mainly due to the one off sale of billing software which occurred in 2012 and did not recur in 2013.   Going forward, management expects net income to increase if the company is able to capitalize on market opportunities by entering areas with high population density, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones.
 
Non-Controlling Interest:
 
The non-controlling interest holders in our China joint venture were attributed their 25% share of the net loss of the joint venture in the amount of $104,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The remaining portion of net loss of $138,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was attributable to the stockholders of the Company.

Going forward, management believes the Company will continue to grow the business and increase profitability if we are successful in selling the Horizon Platform solution to new telecommunications company customers globally.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment:     Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our local currencies, Swiss Francs, Euro, British pounds and Chinese Renminbi, are our functional currencies. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by http://www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates/ at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to approximately $682,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue: Our revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $6.7 million as compared to approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $6.3 million, or 1,062%. The increase in our revenue was significantly due to the growth in sales of the Horizon Platform following the development of the GSM application, Horizon Call, which was completed in November 2011. The Company expects sales to continue to grow as more companies sign up for the Horizon Platform.

 
23

 
 
Cost of Revenue: Cost of revenue was approximately $994,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to cost of sales of $627,000 together with the amortization of software development costs, for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Our cost of sales is primarily composed of the costs of ancillary hardware sold with the Horizon Platform.
 
Gross Profit: Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $6.0  million as compared to $0.04 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Our gross profits increased by $5.9 million from 2011 to 2012. The main reason for the increase in gross profit is the one off sale of proprietary billing software amounting to $5.0 million.
 
Going forward, management believes that gross profit will improve if sales continue to increase, although there can be no assurance of such.
 
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses, depreciation, and amortization of intangibles, were approximately $4.1 million, or 58.9% of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $1.3 million, or 199% of sales for the same period in 2011, an increase of approximately $2.7 million.  The increase was due to costs related to adding resources to deal with the new customers in both data handling and the account management roles.  Going forward, management expects these costs to rise due to various public company-related expenses including share-based compensation, and various legal, accounting and consulting services.
 
Net Income: Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $1.7  million as compared to a loss of $1.3 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in net income reflected the one off sale of billing sofware amounting to $5.0 million.
Going forward, management believes the Company will continue to grow the business and increase profitability if we are successful in selling the Horizon Platform solution to new telecommunications company customers globally.

Revenue:  Our revenue for the year ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $2.6 million as compared to $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.7 million, or 190%. The increase in our revenue was due to the growth in sales of the Horizon Platform following the development of the GSM application, Horizon Call, which was completed in November, 2011. We expect sales to continue to grow as more companies sign up for the Horizon Platform.

Cost of Revenue: Cost of revenue was approximately $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to cost of sales of $1.5 million, of sales for the year ended June 30, 2011. Our cost of sales is primarily composed of the costs of ancillary hardware sold with the Horizon Platform together with the amortization of software development costs.
 
Gross Margin: Gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $877,000  as compared to loss of ($613,000) for the year ended June 30, 2011. The main reason for the increase in gross margin is the growth in business and the smartphone market globally, as well as the Company’s ability to capitalize on market opportunities by entering areas with high population density, high penetration of mobile phones, congested mobile cellular networks and high growth in the adoption of smartphones.
 
 
25

 
 
Going forward, management believes that gross margin will increase to the extent we are successful in our efforts to grow our sales.
 
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses and depreciation, were approximately $5.4 million, or 208% of sales for the year June 30, 2012, as compared to $2.2 million, or 248% of sales for the same period in 2011.  Overall, operating expenses increased by approximately $3.2 million.  The increase was due to costs related to adding additional resources to deal with the new customers in both data handling and the account management roles.  Going forward, management expects overall costs to rise due to various public company-related expenses including share-based compensation, and various legal, accounting and consulting services.
 
Interest Expense: For the year ended June 30, 2012, interest expense was approximately $218,000 as compared to interest expense of approximately $173,000 for 2011. The increase of $35,000 or 20.2% in interest expense is mainly due to the increase in cost of capital charged by HSBC prior to the redemption of the facilities with the bank in October, 2012.
 
Net Income: Net loss for the year ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $4.6 million as compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in losses reflected the increase in operating expenditures of the business.
 
Going forward, management believes the Company will continue to grow the business and increase profitability as the Horizon Platform solution is taken up by new telecommunications company customers globally.
 
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment: Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our local currencies, Swiss Francs and British pounds, are our functional currencies. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by http://www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates/  at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
 
Currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to approximately $455,000 for the year ended June 30, 2012 and $nil for the same period in 2011.

Net cash used by operating activities was approximately $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to approximately $3.8 million for the same period in 2012.  The decrease in cash used by operations was primarily due to the increase in cash generated from sales, which offset (and reduced) the overall cash used by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily focused on  investment in software development costs.    
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately $6.5 million for 2013 and $6.8 million for 2012. Cash provided by financing activities in 2013 was primarily due to the advances from related parties and proceeds from the sale of common stock. Cash used by financing activities in 2012 was primarily due to proceeds from sale of common stock and loan from related parties less the reduction in long term bank borrowing.

Our working capital deficiency, excluding the current portion of deferred income (attributable to licensing fees to be realized over time), as of December 31, 2013, was approximately $1.7 million, as compared to working capital of approximately $620,000 for the same period in 2012.

Net cash used by operating activities was approximately $833,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $1,201,000 for the same period in 2011. The decrease in cash used by operations was primarily due to the increase in cash generated from sales, which offset (and reduced) the overall cash used by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $431,000 and $850,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily focused on acquisitions of intangible assets and property and equipment.  Same comment as above.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to roughly $2.0 million for 2012 and $1.64 million for 2011. Cash provided by financing activities in 2012 was primarily due to the advances from related parties and proceeds from the sale of common stock. Cash used by financing activities in 2011 was primarily due to proceeds from sale of common stock and loan from related parties less the reduction in long term bank borrowing.

Net cash used by operating activities was approximately $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2012 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.4 million for the same period in 2011. The significant increase in cash used by operations was primarily due to increase in accounts receivable during the year.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $3.6 million and $2.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily focused on acquisitions of intangible assets and property and equipment, and in 2011 the acquisition of Abbey Technology GmbH.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately $6.5 million for year ended June 30, 2012 and cash used of $2.7 million for year ended June 30, 2011. Cash provided by financing activities in 2012 was primarily due to the advances from related parties and proceeds from the sale of common stock. Cash used by financing activities in 2011 was primarily due to repayment of long term debt and payment of dividends.
 
Our working capital deficiency, excluding the current portion of deferred income (attributable to licensing fees to be realized over time), as of June 30, 2012, was approximately $7.3 million, as compared to a working capital deficiency of approximately $6.1 million for the same period in 2011.
 
Going forward, we intend to rely on the sales of our products and services, as well as on the sale of securities to, and loans from, existing stockholders and new investors, to meet our cash requirements.

On January 22, 2013, Messrs. White and Collins each made a loan to the Company of $250,000 (each, a “Loan”). In exchange for each Loan, the Company issued to each of Messrs. White and Collins a promissory note, in the initial principal amount of each Loan. Each Loan bears interest at the rate of 0.21% per annum, must be repaid in one year, and is prepayable without penalty at the option of the Company at any time following its issuance in cash or in shares of its common stock, at the rate of $5.16 per share. On January 21, 2014,  the Company and each of Messers. White and Collins agreed to extend the due date to repay each Loan to  January 21, 2015.
 
On February 18, 2013, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement dated February 18, 2013 and an Amendment to Subscription Agreement dated as of February 18, 2013 (collectively, the “Subscription Agreement”) with a non-U.S. shareholder of the Company (the “Investor”), pursuant to which (i) the Company agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, an aggregate of 806,451 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, for an aggregate consideration of $6,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) or $7.44 per share, and (ii) the Company agreed to issue a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Investor exercisable for three years to purchase 403,225 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.44 per share.

On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated Subscription Agreement (the “Amended Subscription Agreement”) and an amended and restated warrant (the “Amended Warrant”) with the Investor.  The Amended Subscription Agreement and Amended Warrant reduced the exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant to $5.94 per share, and the Amended Subscription Agreement required the third installment of the Purchase Price to be paid by September 16, 2013, instead of September 30, 2013.  No other terms of the Subscription Agreement or Warrant were amended. All three installments of the Purchase Price were paid on time by the Investor.

We may seek to sell common or preferred stock in private placements.  We have no commitments from anyone to purchase our common or preferred stock or to loan funds.  We cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional funds at terms acceptable to us or to do so at a cost economically viable.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 (a) Dismissal of Independent Certifying Accountant.
 
Chantrey Vellacott DFK LLP (“CV”) served as the independent accountant for One Horizon UK for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. CV’s report on One Horizon UK’s financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the year then ended was filed as an Exhibit to Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A which was filed on February 7, 2013. CV will continue to prepare domestic statutory and tax filings for One Horizon UK, which is now a subsidiary of the Company. On November 30, 2012, ICE Corp. completed the share exchange with One Horizon UK, which for U.S. GAAP purposes was considered to be the accounting acquirer. As such, the financial information of the Company will be that of One Horizon UK, with operations of ICE Corp. only being included from the date of the share exchange. Prior to the acquisition, OHGP was not a U.S. SEC registrant. In addition, CV is not an independent registered public accounting firm in the U.S.. As a result of the consummation of the share exchange on November 30, 2012 and the retention of Peterson Sullivan LLP to act as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (see below), CV was dismissed by the Company’s Board of Directors as the independent certifying accountant for U.S. SEC filing purposes.
 
The report of CV regarding the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
 
29

 
 
During the year ended June 30, 2012, and during the period from June 30, 2012 to November 30, 2012, the date of dismissal, (i) there were no disagreements with CV on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of CV would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company has provided CV with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that they furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.
 
(b) Engagement of Independent Certifying Accountant.
 
Effective February 13, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged Peterson Sullivan LLP (“PS”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2012. PS was the independent registered public accounting firm for ICE Corp.
 
During each of One Horizon UK’s two most recent fiscal years and through the interim periods preceding the engagement of PS, One Horizon UK (a) has not engaged PS as either the principal accountant to audit One Horizon UK’s financial statements, or as an independent accountant to audit a significant subsidiary of One Horizon UK and on whom the principal accountant is expected to express reliance in its report; and (b) has not consulted with PS regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on One Horizon UK’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to One Horizon UK by PS concluding there was an important factor to be considered by One Horizon UK in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, as of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Certifying Officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 
30

 
 
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Certifying Officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. This Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Because we are a smaller reporting company, management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm.

Material Weaknesses Identified

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, we identified a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting relating to correctly recording the timing of revenue recognition for certain license fees.  Specifically, our policy of revenue recognition did not meet all the requirements of the relevant generally accepted accounting principles applicable to software sales. Consequently, effective controls did not to ensure that revenue for these types of software sales were appropriately recorded.  Previously, certain significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting had became evident to management that, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses, including:

(i)         Lack of sufficient independent directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had two independent directors on our board, which was comprised of five directors. These two independent directors, however, would not currently be deemed independent under NASDAQ for audit committee purposes.
 
 
(ii)        Insufficient corporate governance policies. Although we have a code of ethics that provides broad guidelines for corporate governance, our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented. Specifically, decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and management.

(iii)      Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. During the year ended December 31, 2013 we had 6 on staff who performed nearly all aspects of our financial reporting process, including access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries, and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. This creates certain incompatible duties and a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
 
(iv)       Lack of in-house US GAAP Expertise. Currently we do not have sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting. Instead, we rely very much on the expertise and knowledge of external financial advisors in US GAAP conversion.

(v)      Maintenance of Accounting Records.  We did not maintain a comprehensive set of financial records for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Certain receipts, disbursements and other transactions were recorded in the general ledger; however account reconciliations, journal entry forms or other supporting schedules were either missing or incomplete. Without adequate financial records, we may be unable to provide timely financial reporting and/or report inaccurate information.
 
 
31

 
 
As part of the communications respecting its audit procedures for the year ended December 31, 2013, our independent registered accountants, Peterson Sullivan, LLP (“Peterson Sullivan”), informed the board that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses, as defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

As soon as we learned of the material weakness (identified above) related to revenue recognition, we began taking steps intended to remediate this material weakness and to improve our control process and procedures with respect to revenue recognition in general as part of our efforts to become compliant with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  These activities included:

  
Implementing a revised accounting policy for our revenue recognition of certain software license fees;
  
Hiring outside consultants with specific expertise with revenue recognition to assist with a review of both current future and licensing agreements;
  
Establishing new policies, procedures and controls to ensure that the new revenue recognition policy is properly administered; and
  
To the extent necessary, evaluating the proper organizational structure and accounting personnel to ensure that we have the requisite knowledge and expertise of revenue recognition under standards of U.S. GAAP.

Aside from the measures discussed above and as of the date hereof, we have taken the following additional measures to remediate other material weaknesses:

  
We added accounting personnel to address issues of timeliness and completeness of our US GAAP financial reporting in the second and third quarter of 2013.  With the additional accounting personnel, management believes that they are beginning to address the lack of in-house GAAP expertise and insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel.  The increased staff also allowed us to maintain complete accounting records for the year ending December 31, 2013.

  
We have appointed additional independent directors. As a result, we currently have four independent directors on our board, which is comprised of seven directors. These four independent directors are deemed independent under Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2) and one of them qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Regulation S-K Item 407(d)(5)(ii). In addition, we formed audit, compensation and nominating committees that would meet NASDAQ rules and guidelines.  We believe that the formation of an independent audit committee will increase board oversight and help us begin to remediate certain internal weaknesses.

We are also in the process of designing and implementing additional remediation measures for our insufficient corporate governance policies and our ability to account for technical matters.  Management intends to work with our newly formed Audit Committee and our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm in 2014 towards identifying suitable actions and changes to certain internal polices to allow us to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

 
32

 
 
Accordingly, we will continue to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes. We believe that the initial remediation measures taken to date coupled with the additional measures taken to address the material weakness identified in relation to revenue recognition and added measures that we plan to develop in 2014, if effectively implemented and maintained, will help us begin to remedy the material weaknesses discussed above. Going forward, we intend to continue to monitor our internal controls and procedures to allow us to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate any current or future deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as disclosed above in our discussion of the restatement of revenues, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended December 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a Policy Statement on Business Ethics and Conflicts of Interest (“Code of Ethics”) applicable to all employees, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on the Company’s website http://content.stockpr.com/onehorizongroup/media/250c1db923f658aca6cc69dfc35c7f89.pdf

Board Leadership Structure and the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight.
 
The Board of Directors currently does not have a Chairman. Our Chief Executive Officer acts as the Chairman of the Board. The Board determined that in the best interest of the Company the most effective leadership structure at this time is not to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. A combined structure provides the Company with a single leader who represents the company to our stockholders, regulators, business partners and other stakeholders, among other reasons set forth below. Should the Board conclude otherwise, the Board will separate the roles and appoint an independent Chairman.

  
This structure creates efficiency in the preparation of the meeting agendas and related Board materials as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer works directly with those individuals preparing the necessary Board materials and is more connected to the overall daily operations of the Company. Agendas are also prepared with the permitted input of the full Board of Directors allowing for any concerns or risks of any individual director to be discussed as deemed appropriate. The Board believes that the Company has benefited from this structure, and Mr. Collin’s continuation in the combined role of the Acting Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the stockholders.

  
The Company believes that the combined structure is necessary and allows for efficient and effective oversight, given the Company’s relatively small size, its corporate strategy and focus.

The Board of Directors does not have a specific role in risk oversight of the Company. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and employees of the Company provide the Board of Directors with information regarding the Company’s risks.

Promoters and Certain Control Persons
 
None of our management or other control persons were “promoters” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), and none of such persons took the initiative in the formation of our business or received any of our debt or equity securities or any of the proceeds from the sale of such securities in exchange for the contribution of property or services, during the last five years.

Director Independence
 
Presently, we are not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities exchange since we are listed on OTC markets,which does not have any such listing standards. In determining whether our directors are independent, however, we intend to comply with the rules of the Nasdaq . The Board of Directors also will consult with counsel to ensure that the Board of Directors’ determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors, including those adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the independence of audit committee members. The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.
 
Under the definition of independent directors found in Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2),we currently have four independent directors, Nicholas Carpinello, Robert Law, Robert Vogler and Richard Vos.
 
ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby One Horizon UK is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (and the legal acquiree).  Prior to the Share Exchange, One Horizon UK had a June 30 fiscal year end.  On February 13, 2013, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that the board of directors of the Company changed the Company's fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31.  As a result, included with this Report are financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (the “Reported Periods”).

Audit Fees

Following the Share Exchange, the Company authorized audits by Peterson Sullivan, the Company’s independent PCAOB registered accountants, of the Company’s financial statements, on a carve-out basis, for the Reported Periods.  These audits were performed at once by Peterson Sullivan LLP in 2013, and we have been advised that Peterson Sullivan expects to bill $60,000, in the aggregate, in audit fees.

Audit-Related Fees

There were no audit-related fees billed or accrued during the Reported Periods.  Audit-related fees typically consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements, which are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

Tax Fees

There were no tax fees billed or accrued during the Reported Periods.  Tax fees typically consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

All Other Fees

Other than the fees reported above, there were no other fees billed or accrued during the Reported Periods.

Preapproval Policies and Procedures

Before the independent registered accountants are engaged to render audit services or nonaudit activities, the engagement is approved by our board of directors acting as the audit committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
One Horizon Group, Inc.
London, United Kingdom


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of One Horizon Group, Inc. ("the Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013, and for the period from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.  We have also audited the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2012.  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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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.  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 One Horizon Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended 2013, for period from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and for the year ended June 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, and for the six months then ended, and for the year ended June 30, 2012, have been restated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013

Note 1.  Description of Business, Organization and Principles of Consolidation

Description of Business

One Horizon Group, Inc., (the “Company” or “Horizon”) develops proprietary software primarily in the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and bandwidth optimization markets (“Horizon Globex”) and provides it under perpetual license arrangements (“Master License”) throughout the world. The Company sells related user licenses and software maintenance services as well.

Organization

On November 30, 2012, the predecessor company “ICE” acquired all of the stock of One Horizon Group plc (“OHG”), a company incorporated in the United Kingdom through the issuance of 29,755,794 shares of common stock of the Company. Upon completion of this transaction the former shareholders of OHG controlled approximately 96% of the outstanding stock of the Company and OHG was deemed the acquiring entity The share exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. The historical combined financial statements of OHG form the consolidated financial statements presented. For accounting purposes ICE was considered to have been acquired as of November 30, 2012.

The consolidated financial statements reflect the deemed acquisition of ICE by OHG and the recognition of the 1,160,051 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $170,000, at November 30, 2012.

On December 31, 2012 the Company sold the operations of Global Integrated Media Limited and Modizo for the return of 70,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $420,000. These companies were subsidiaries and divisions of ICE.

On August 6, 2013, the Company's shareholders approved the reverse split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of 1-for-600.  The reverse stock split proportionately reduced the number of all issued and outstanding common shares and adjusted the number of shares underlying outstanding stock options and warrants.

On August 26, 2013 the Company continued its corporate entity from Pennsylvania to Delaware. There was no change in authorized and issued share capital as all shareholders transferred intact.

Principles of Consolidation and Combination

The December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of One Horizon Group, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries OHG, Abbey Technology GmbH, Horizon Globex GmbH, Global Phone Credit Ltd., Horizon Globex Ireland Ltd., One Horizon Hong Kong Ltd., and Global Phone Credit together with  Ishuo Network Information Co., Ltd which is controlled by One Horizon Group, Inc. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of One Horizon Hong Kong Ltd.’s 75% owned subsidiary, Horizon Network Technology Co., Ltd, which is both controlled and managed by One Horizon Hong Kong Ltd.
 

The December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of One Horizon Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Horizon Globex GmbH (“HGG”) and Abbey Technology GmbH (“ATG”). The accounts and operations of ICE, including its subsidiaries Global Integrated Media Limited and Global Integ. Media (GIM) Ltd., Corporation, have been included from the time of the share exchange on November 30, 2012 until divestiture on December 31, 2012. For financial statement presentation prior to November 30, 2012, the reporting entity consists of the combined financial statements of OHG and its two subsidiaries, HGG and ATG. 
 
Prior to the share exchange referred to above, OHG owned separate legal entities which operated in a separate line of business, Satcom Global. That line of business was sold in a transaction executed in October 2012, prior to the share exchange with ICE. The historical financial statements presented as it relates to dates prior to the share exchange are those of the separate combined operations of OHG and its two subsidiaries, which are presented on a carve-out basis from the discontinued historical operations of Satcom Global. Management of the Company considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to the combined group to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to or received from during the periods presented. All revenues, expenses, gains and losses, assets and liabilities related to the Satcom Global business have been eliminated from these combined financial statements.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2.  Restatement of Financial Statements

One Horizon Group, Inc. (the "Company") is restating its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and as of and for years ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, to correct errors related to the recognition of revenue from sales of perpetual licenses to larger, top-tier ("Tier 1") and other ("Tier 2) telecom entities.  Contracts with Tier 1 entities typically require agreed-upon fixed payments over fixed future periods extending beyond one year.  Contracts with Tier 2 have long-term variable payment terms based on customer usage.  The Company historically recognized the present value of Tier 1 contracts at the time of delivery.  Revenue from Tier 2 contracts was historically recognized over the initial 5-year term on a straight-line basis.

The Company's decision to restate the aforementioned financial statements was made as a result of management's identification of errors related to the recognition of revenue from sales of perpetual licenses to certain Tier 1 and Tier 2 telecom entities.  Management subsequently determined, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors adopted management's conclusion that, as a result  of applying the guidance in ASC 985-605-25-32, a portion of the revenue recognized at the time of the sale of perpetual licenses to certain Tier 1 entities should have been deferred and recognized in future periods as payments became due.  The conclusion was also reached that revenue from contracts with Tier 2 entities should have been recognized based on the timing of when payments became due (which is based on usage). The errors impacted accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets as well as revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.  As a result, revenue and net income were misstated in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Accounts receivable and deferred revenue were misstated in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. These errors were considered material to the consolidated financial statements. The effect of these errors on the consolidated results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2012, was to reduce revenue and decrease net income by $4.75 million and $3.58 million, respectively The effect of these errors on the consolidated results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2012 was to reduce revenue and increase the net loss by $2.61 million and $2.54 million, respectively. The effect of these errors on the consolidated results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2011 was to reduce revenue and increase the net loss by $1.825 million and $1.825 million, respectively.
 
 
 
F-9

 

The consolidated financial statements have been restated as follows.  The errors had no impact on the Company's consolidated net cash flows from investing and financing activities.  The Company has also reclassified amortization of software development costs from the prior presentation as operating expenses to cost of revenue.

Note 3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

These consolidated and combined financial statements have presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The Company changed its year end to December 31 and is presenting six-months operations for the period ended December 31, 2012.

Reporting Currency and Currency Translation
 
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Assets and liabilities of operations other than those denominated in U.S. dollars, primarily in Switzerland, the United Kingdom and China, are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the period.  Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated.  The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange-rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in general and administrative expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposit accounts and highly liquid short term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash consists of checking accounts held at financial institutions in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong and China which, at times, balances may exceed insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes the credit risk to be minimal.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable result primarily from sale of software licenses to customers and are recorded at their principal amounts as payments become due. Receivables are considered past due once they exceed the terms of the sales transaction. When necessary, the Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and current economic conditions. There was an allowance of $212,000 and $218,000 for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively. Receivables are generally unsecured. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.  One customer accounted for 15 percent of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013.   Two customers accounted for 26 percent of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is primarily comprised of leasehold property improvements, motor vehicles and equipment that are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: motor vehicles – 5 years, equipment – between 3 and 5 years and leasehold property improvements, over the lesser of the estimated remaining useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.  Expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized.
 
 
 
F-14

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that will be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal.  Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered to be observable and the third unobservable:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include software development costs and customer relationships.  Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Amortization of capitalized software development costs is computed using the greater of (a) the ratio of the product’s current gross revenues to the total of current and expected gross revenues or (b) the straight-line method, computed by dividing the remaining unamortized cost by the estimated economic life of the product.  The Company periodically evaluates whether changes have occurred that would require revision of the remaining estimated useful life.

The Company expenses all costs related to the development of software as incurred, other than those incurred after the achievement of technological feasibility during the application development stage. The Company expenses software development costs as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.  Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established.  The Company has determined that after technological feasibility for software products is reached, the Company continues to address all high-risk development issues through coding and testing prior to the release of the products to customers.  The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the year ended June 30, 2012, software development costs of $1,211,000, $486,000 and $3,466,000, respectively, have been capitalized.

Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its property and equipment and other long-lived assets including capitalized software development costs and customer relationships whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.  An impairment loss is recognized when the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributed to the assets or the business to which the assets relate.  Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.  During the year ended December 31, 2013, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company identified no impairment losses related to the Company’s long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company establishes persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement for each type of revenue transaction based on a signed contract with the customer and that delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
 
  
Software licenses – revenue from sales of perpetual licenses to customers when payments for the licenses are fixed is recognized at the inception of the arrangement, unless the payment term exceeds one year and then only if the presumption that the license fee is not fixed or determinable can be overcome, presuming all other relevant revenue recognition criteria are met. If the presumption cannot be overcome, revenue is recognized as payments from the customer become due. Revenue from sales of perpetual licenses when payments for the licenses are payable over a period exceeding a year, and those payments are variable based on customer usage,  are recognized as payments from the customer become due.
  
Revenues for user licenses purchased by customers is recognized when the user license is delivered.
  
Revenues for maintenance services are recognized over the period of delivery of the services.

The Company enters into arrangements under which a customer purchases a combination of software licenses, maintenance services and post-contract customer support (“PCS”). As a result, judgment is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including how the price should be allocated among the deliverable elements if there are multiple elements. PCS may include rights to upgrades, when and if available, support, updates and enhancements. When vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all elements in a multiple element arrangement, revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each of the elements. VSOE of fair value is established by the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Accordingly, the judgments involved in assessing the fair values of various elements of an agreement can impact the recognition of revenue in each period. Changes in the allocation of the sales price between deliverables might impact the timing of revenue recognition, but would not change the total revenue recognized on the contract. When elements such as software and services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, revenue is allocated to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, revenue is first allocated to the fair value of the undelivered elements and then allocated to the residual delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. No sales arrangements to date include undelivered elements for which VSOE does not exist.

For purposes of revenue recognition for perpetual licenses, the Company considers payment terms exceeding one year as a presumption that the fee in the transaction is not fixed or determinable.   This presumption however, may be overcome if persuasive evidence demonstrates that the Company has a business practice of extending payment terms and has been successful in collecting under the original terms, without providing any concessions.  In doing so, the Company considers if the arrangement is sufficiently similar to historical arrangements in terms of similar customers and products is assessing whether there is evidence of a history of successful collection.

In order to determine the Company’s historical experience is based on sufficiently similar arrangements, the Company considers the various factor including the types of customers and products, product life cycle, elements included in the arrangement, length of payment terms and economics of license arrangement.

If the presumption cannot be overcome due to a lack of such evidence, revenue is recognized as payments become due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria has been met.  Through December 31, 2013, the Company had no sales contracts for which revenue had been recognized since inception of the arrangements.

Leases
 
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
Advertising Expenses

It is the Company’s policy to expense advertising costs as incurred.  No advertising costs were incurred during each of the year ended December 31, 2013, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the year ended June 30, 2012.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include all direct costs, primarily salaries for Company personnel and outside consultants, related to the development of new products, significant enhancements to existing products, and the portion of costs of development of software required to be expensed.  Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred with the exception of those software development costs that may qualify for capitalization. The Company incurred no research and development costs in the year ended December 31, 2013, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the year ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
 
Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards, and are measured using the enacted income tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Realization of certain deferred income tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.  The initial recording and any subsequent changes to valuation allowances are based on a number of factors (positive and negative evidence).  The Company considers its actual historical results to have a stronger weight than other, more subjective, indicators when considering whether to establish or reduce a valuation allowance.

The Company continually evaluates its uncertain income tax positions and may record a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return.  Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.

Because tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations, significant judgment is required.  As a result, the Company makes certain estimates and assumptions in: (1) calculating its income tax expense, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities; (2) determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets; and (3) evaluating the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the interest and penalties related to such uncertain tax positions.  The Company’s estimates and assumptions may differ significantly from tax benefits ultimately realized.

Net Income per Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period, which includes the additional dilution related to conversion of outstanding stock options and warrants computed under the treasury stock method.

Common shares issuable are considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations. (in thousands)

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustment, and all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources.  To date, the Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), except for foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year.  The Company makes estimates for, among other items, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, determination of future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of stock options and warrants, determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, and potential income tax assessments and other contingencies.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions, and other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Financial Instruments

The Company has the following financial instruments: cash, amounts due to related parties, and long-term debt.  The carrying value of cash and long-term debt approximates their fair value due to their liquidity or their short-term nature valued consistent with the use of level 2 inputs. The fair value of amounts due to related parties is not determinable.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest.  The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures.

Note 4.  China Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company established a subsidiary in China, Horizon Network Technology Co. Ltd. (“HNT”). The establishment of HNT is part of the Company’s strategic plan to expand the application of mobile software and related marketing efforts into emerging markets. The Company contributed $1.5 million to form the subsidiary in which it now ownes a 75% interest. The remaining 25% ownership interest in HNT was acquired by non-related parties through the transfer of noncash assets with a fair value of $500,000.

The results of operations, assets, liabilities and cash flows of HNT have been consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company owns a controlling interest in and manages HNT. The ownership interests in HNT held by parties other than the Company are presented separately from the Company’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as  the Non Controlling Interest. The amount of consolidated net loss attributable to the Company and the non-controlling interest are both presented on the face of the consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Tax Assets

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had federal net operating losses of $1.5 million available for future deduction from taxable income derived in the United States.  The Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary has non-capital losses of approximately $11.7 million available for future deductions from taxable income derived in the United Kingdom, which do not expire.  The potential benefit of net operating loss carryforwards has not been recognized in the combined financial statements since the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.  The tax years 2006 through 2012 remain open to examination by federal authorities and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  The components of the net deferred tax asset and the amount of the valuation allowance are as follows: (in thousands)
