Worlds Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense its patented technologies.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has always been considered a developmental stage business, has incurred significant losses since its inception and has had minimal revenues from operations. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and enforcement of its patent portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which has had a material adverse effect on the Company, including requiring the Company to reduce operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. For the past year the Company has been operating at a significantly reduced capacity, with only one full time employee, performing primarily consulting services and licensing software and using consultants to perform any additional work that may be required.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Due from Related Party

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

Revenue Recognition

Effective for the second quarter of 2011, the Company spun off its online businesses to Worlds Online Inc. The Company’s sources of revenue after the spin off is anticipated to be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonable assured. This will usually be in the form of a receipt of a customer’s acceptance indicating the product has been completed to their satisfaction except for development work and service revenue which is recognized when the services have been performed.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Property and Equipment

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

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

Income Taxes

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

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

Notes Payable

The Company has $773,279 in short term notes outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The company has $325,000 in notes outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

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

Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2015, there were 8,600,000 options whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share for March 31, 2015. The options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.

Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

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

During 2000 the Company was involved in a lawsuit relating to unpaid consulting services. In April, 2001 a judgment against the Company was rendered for approximately $205,000. As of March 31, 2015, and 2014 the Company recorded a reserve of $205,000 for this lawsuit, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

Risk and Uncertainties

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

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Subsequent Events

On April 3, 2015 the company received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for the issuance of a 10^th patent to be issued in July.

On May 17, 2015 the company received notice from Bungie, Inc. that it had filed an IPR (Inter Party Review) with the USPTO challenging the validity of claims of the company’s patents # 7,181,690; 7,945,856; and 7,493,558. The company will respond to the filing after review with counsel.

On May 7, 2015 the company entered into a six month 10% $300,000 convertible debenture with RDW Capital, LLC.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements up to ASU 2015-08, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

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

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

NOTE 3 - EQUITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the company issued 15,608,696 common shares to the Class C Note holders in order to terminate the litigation between us, terminate all agreements between us, cancel all warrants we have previously issued to them as well as the outstanding balance of the Class C Notes. In order to have sufficient shares to deliver, we implemented the previously authorized amendment to our certificate of incorporation and increased our authorized common stock to one hundred fifty million shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,645,015 common shares by converting $224,375 of the convertible notes payable into common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock as payment for services rendered with an aggregate value of $24,000.

NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE

We issued an aggregate of $2.4 million face amount of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”). The Notes are divided into Series A, Series B and Series C with the Series A and B Notes aggregating to $1.95 million and the Series C Notes aggregating to $450,000. The Series A and Series B Notes were exchanged by the return of the face amount of the Notes and for 7 million shares of common stock of the Company. The remaining Series C Note carried a 14% annual interest rate upon default and is payable on March 13, 2016. The Company had determined that the conversion feature of the Notes represent an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. On January 23, 2015 we entered into an agreement with the Series C note holders to, among other things, terminate the litigation between us, terminate all agreements between us, cancel all warrants we have previously issued to them as well as the outstanding balance of the Class C Note, provide for mutual releases and delivery of fifteen million six hundred and eight thousand and six hundred and ninety six shares of our common stock. In order to have sufficient shares to deliver, we implemented the previously authorized amendment to our certificate of incorporation and increased our authorized common stock to one hundred fifty million shares.

The Notes are classified as a derivative liability and not a note payable, see Note 9 below.

We had issued promissory notes in the amount of $325,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014. One of the Promissory Notes in the amount $50,000 was in lieu of payment of cash for an outstanding balance due to a consultant of the Company. The promissory notes carry a 6% annual interest rate and are payable upon the earlier of (a) 24 months from the date of the promissory note or (b) the Company reaching a settlement(s) on a patent infringement claim(s) and receiving an aggregate of at least $2 million net proceeds from such settlement(s). 

The holders of the promissory notes shall receive repayment in the full face amount of the note from the initial $500,000 the Company actually receives from the net proceeds of its patent infringement claim(s) or from the net proceeds of a public offering. In addition the holder shall receive a preferred return (i) in an amount equal to up to 200% of the initial face amount of the note out of available cash by sharing with all other investors in this series of notes in the allocation of 50% of the available cash received by the Company form $2M - $4M and (ii) in an amount equal to up to 100% of the initial face amount of the note out of available cash by sharing with all other investors in this series of notes in the allocation of 25% of the available cash received by the Company from $4M - $6M. In other words, if the Company collects $6M in the net proceeds of available cash, the holder will receive a return equal to 400% of its investment. 

NOTE 5 – STOCK OPTIONS

We previously reported that in January 2014 we extended the term of 7.5 million stock options granted to our President and CEO, Thom Kidrin, from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2016. We have now learned that this disclosure was incorrect inasmuch as the approval of the extension was premised on the erroneous supposition that Mr. Kidrin’s options were only 18 month options and were expiring on March 31, 2014, when in fact they were five (5) year options expiring in September 2017. The options in question were granted pursuant to the terms of Mr. Kidrin’s Employment Agreement dated as of August 30, 2012, which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ended December 31, 2012, which clearly states that the options had a term of five (5) years.

We reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in subsequent periods that Mr. Kidrin’s options were for an eighteen-month period, which was predicated on the execution of an option agreement of similar term. We inadvertently executed two versions of an option agreement in March 2013, one having a five-year term and one having an eighteen month term without realizing that there were two versions. The five-year version was maintained in our files, but we erroneously provided only the eighteen-month version to our independent auditor and prepared our financial statements and disclosures based upon an eighteen-month option term for Mr. Kidrin. We continued to erroneously rely on the wrong document until September 2014.

Accordingly, to the extent that the Board extended the options in January 2014, such extension was premised upon a mistake of fact and the Board action was taken in error. Indeed, because even the purported extension would, if effective, shorten the five year term of Mr. Kidrin’s options, such action would have been contrary to the Board’s intent. However, in the Annual Report for 2012 and in each periodic report since that date, the options were erroneously described as 18 month options expiring in March 2014 and our two most recent quarterly reports reported the erroneous extension. The disclosure came to light as we reviewed our disclosures as a result of the lawsuit described below, and located the March 2013 version of the option agreement. Inasmuch as disclosing the options as 18 months versus five years did not impact in any way our assets or retained earnings, it had an impact of approximately 10% on our income statement, (an overstatement of net income by approximately $169,330 for 2012; no impact on net income for 2013; and an understatement of net income by approximately $1,119,860 for each of the first two quarters of 2014). Management believes that this is non-cash book entry is not indicative in any way as to the health of the company. However, in an abundance of caution, we restated our annual reports for 2012 and 2013 and all periodic reports commencing in 2013.

No stock options were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and no stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

On January 23, 2015 we entered into an agreement with the Class C note holders who held four million five hundred thirty five thousand seven hundred and fourteen warrants to purchase our common stock. The settlement agreement, among other things, cancelled all warrants we have previously issued to them.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 450,000 options to the Company’s directors. The directors, Bernard Stolar, Robert Fireman and Edward Gildea each received 100,000 options for serving as board members in 2014. Edward Gildea joined the board on January 10, 2014 and received an additional 150,000 options for joining the Company’s board.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an option expense of $66,451 equal to the estimated fair value of the options at the date of grants. The fair market value was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, assuming approximately 0.93% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 210% volatility, and expected life of 5 years.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is committed to an employment agreement with its President and CEO, Thom Kidrin. The agreement, dated as of August 30, 2012, is for five years with a one-year renewal option held by Mr. Kidrin.  The agreement provides for a base salary of $175,000, which increases 10% on September 1 of each year; a monthly car allowance of $500; an annual bonus equal to 2.5% of Pre-Tax Income (as defined in the agreement); an additional bonus as follows: $75,000, if Pre-Tax Income for the year is between 150% and 200% of the prior fiscal year’s Pre-Tax Income or (B) $100,000, if Pre-Tax Income for the year is between 201% and 250% of the prior fiscal year’s Pre-Tax Income or (C) $200,000, if Pre-Tax Income for the year is 251% or greater than the prior fiscal year’s Pre-Tax Income, but in no event shall this additional bonus exceed five (5%) percent of Pre-Tax Income for such year; payment of up to $10,000 in life insurance premiums; options to purchase 7.5 million shares of Worlds Inc. common stock at an exercise price of  $0.076 per share, all of which vested on August 30, 2012; a death benefit of at least $2 million dollars; and a payment equal to 2.99 times his base amount (as defined in the agreement) in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the agreement).  The agreement also provides that Mr. Kidrin can be terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement) and that he is subject to restrictive covenants for 12 months after termination. 

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense its patented technologies.

Due to related party is comprised of cash payments for operating expenses made by worlds Online Inc. on behalf of Worlds Inc. The balance at March 31, 2015 is $66,120 and the balance on December 31, 2014 is $9,416.

NOTE 8 - PATENTS

Worlds Inc. currently has nine patents, 6,219,045 - 7,181,690 - 7,493,558 – 7,945,856, - 8,082,501, – 8,145,998 – 8,161,383, – 8,407,592 and 8,640,028. On March 30, 2012, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Activision Bizzard Inc., Blizzard Entertainment Inc. and Activision Publishing Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Susman Godfrey LLP is lead counsel for the Company. The costs to prosecute those parties that the Company and our legal counsel believe to be infringing on said patents were capitalized under patents until a resolution is reached.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its ability to prosecute its IP portfolio or that we will be able to acquire additional patents.

On May 27, 2015 we were informed that Bungie, Inc. is challenging the validity of Patents 7,181,690, 7,493,558 and 7,945,856.

NOTE 9 – SETTLEMENT OF DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

On January 23, 2015 we entered into an agreement with Hudson Bay IP Opportunities Master Fund LP to, among other things, terminate the litigation between us, terminate all agreements between us, cancel all warrants we have previously issued to them as well as the outstanding balance of the Class C Note, provide for mutual releases and our delivery of eight million shares of our common stock, of which seven million shares will be subject to certain volume limitations upon resale. In order to have sufficient shares to deliver, we implemented the previously authorized amendment to our certificate of incorporation and increased our authorized common stock to one hundred fifty million shares. We entered into essentially similar agreements with the other holders of our Class C Notes, albeit for less shares. As a result of the settlement, the company recorded a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $2,336,035 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

On March 20, 2013 the Company entered into strategic financing agreements with several institutional investors that could provide the Company with up to $2.3 million of debt financing based upon the amount of conversions and redemptions. The transaction documents provide, among other things, that (i) the investors will receive five year warrants in an amount equal to 100% of the number of shares of our common stock the investors would receive if the Notes (defined below) were converted on March 13, 2013, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, (ii) $1.950 million of the funds will deposited in one of our bank accounts but will be subject to a control account agreement which will provide that the Company can only withdraw funds from the account as the investors convert or redeem the Notes, (iii) the investors have demand and piggy-back registration rights for the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and Notes, (iv) the Notes will be secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets, other than our patents, (v) each investor may not convert any Note or exercise any warrants if doing so will cause the investor to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock at any time, although under certain circumstances they can each own up to 9.99% of our outstanding common stock, (vi) we paid $40,000 of the investors’ legal fees incurred with respect to this transaction, and (vii) for the next three years the investors have a right to participate in up to 50% of any of our future financings. The warrants and Notes contain standard anti-dilution provisions and the Securities Purchase Agreements contains standard covenants for a financing of this nature. In the event the Company acquires any subsidiaries while the Notes are outstanding, such subsidiaries will be obligated to guaranty the Notes and any other obligations we owe to the investors pursuant to the transaction documents.

On July 15, 2013 we entered into Amendment and Exchange Agreements with each of the existing holders of our Series A, B and C Senior Secured Convertible Notes and related warrants to purchase our common stock, which securities were originally issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 14, 2013 (“Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among us and such holders.

Each Exchange Agreement provides for, among other things, that:

The Company has determined that the conversion feature of the Note represent an embedded derivative since the Note is convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Note is not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument has been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Note. Such discount will be accreted from the grant date to the maturity date of the Note. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The beneficial conversion feature included in the Note resulted in an initial debt discount of $450,000 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $96,119 based on the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $546,119. The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was calculated at grant date utilizing the following assumptions:

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company settled a lawsuit brought forth by the note holders, effectively terminating and canceling all remaining agreements, warrants and notes. As a result of the settlement, the company recorded a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $2,336,035 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

As of the date of the settlement with the noteholders, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability and recorded a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $143,383. For the period from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015, the Company decreased the derivative liability to $0.

When used in this Form 10-Q and in other filings by the Company with the Commission, the words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "will" or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, each of which speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company has no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

These factors include, but are not limited to, changes that may occur to general economic and business conditions; changes in political, social and economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate; changes to regulations that pertain to our operations; changes in technology that render our technology relatively inferior, obsolete or more expensive compared to others; delays in the delivery of broadband capacity to the homes and offices of persons who license our technology; general disruptions to Internet service; and the loss of customer faith in the Internet as a means of commerce.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes which are included under Item 1.

We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect future events or circumstances.

Overview

General

Starting in mid-2001 we were not able to generate enough revenue to sustain full operations and other sources of capital were not available. As a result, we have had to significantly curtail our operations since that time and at times almost halt them all together. Since mid-2007, as more funds became available from our financings, we were able to increase operations and become more active operationally.

On May 16, 2011, we transferred, through a spin-off to our then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of our operations and related operational assets. We retained our patent portfolio which we intend to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. We also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense patented technologies.

At present, the Company’s anticipated sources of revenue after the spin off will be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents.

Revenues

We generated no  revenue during the quarter because we transferred the operations of the Company to Worlds Online Inc. and our other anticipated revenue generation streams did not produce any income during the quarter.

Expenses

We classify our expenses into two broad groups:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have had to limit our operations since mid 2001 due to a lack of liquidity.  However, we were able to issue equity and convertible debt in the last few years and raise small amounts of capital from time to time that enabled us to begin upgrading our technology, develop new products and actively solicit additional business.  We continue to pursue additional sources of capital though we have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing at this time and there can be no assurance that any such financing will become available. If we cannot raise additional capital, form an alliance of some nature with another entity, or start to generate sufficient revenues, we may need to once again scale back operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net revenues for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $0.  All the operations were transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. in the spin off. The Company’s future sources of revenue after the spin off are anticipated to be from sublicenses of the patented technology to Worlds Online Inc.’s customers and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing our patents in litigation or otherwise. 

Three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to three months ended March 31, 2014

Revenue is $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. All the operations were transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. in the spin off. The business up to the spin off continued to run in a severely diminished mode due to the lack of liquidity. Post spin off we still need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to continue running the business.

Cost of revenues is $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Selling general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $14,127 from $89,535 to $75,408 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Decrease is due to limiting operations even further in 2015 than in 2014.

Salaries and related increased by $3,900 to $52,938 from $49,038 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in the CEO’s salary based on the terms of his employment agreement.

.

Common stock issued for services rendered decreased by $36,608 to $0 from $36,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively. The Company no longer has any strategic business consulting and advice agreements for common stock in 2015 like we had in 2014.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company has no option expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an option expense of $66,451, equal to the estimated fair value of the options at the date of grants. The options were issued to Directors of the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the company had a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $143,383 and interest expense of $18,950. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $98,534 and interest expense of $246,846, both related to the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes that are required to be recorded as a derivative liability.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 we had a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $2,336,035.

As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of $2,626,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a net loss of $389,944 in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents were $11,208. We were unable to raise any funds during the quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we raised an aggregate of $100,000 from issuing notes payable.

There were no capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2015 or in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Historically, our primary cash requirements have been used to fund the cost of operations, development of our products and patent protection, with additional funds having been used in promotion and advertising and in connection with the exploration of new business lines.

The funds raised in our 2014 financings were and will be used to develop new products and services, enhance our patent portfolio, pay salaries to management and pay professional fees to our attorneys and auditors to prepare and file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We hope to raise additional funds to be used for further developing our portfolio of patents and to document our technology in order to enforce our patents where there is infringement.  No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise any additional funds.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures

As of March 31, 2015, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
