NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NineThree Months Ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016

(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. ForAs the past yearcompany has focused its attention on increasing its patent portfolio and enforcing it, 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 to Related Party

 

Due to related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Online Inc. on behalf of Worlds 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 towill be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents. Prior to the spin-off, the Company had the following sources of revenue: (1) consulting/licensing revenue from the performance of development work performed on behalf of the Company, licensing revenue or from the sale of certain software to third parties; and (2) VIP subscriptions to our Worlds Ultimate 3-D Chat service. 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 collectibilitycollectability 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 nine months ended September 30,2016 and 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.

Table of Contents

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 September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2015. These are old notes payable for which the statute of limitations has passed and therefore the Company does not expect it will have to repay those notes.

The company has an additional $600,000 and $460,000 in notes, and $306,000 and $349,500 (net of $21,000 discount) in convertible notes outstanding at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014. The company has $460,000 and $325,000 in notes outstanding at September 30, 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 September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, there were 9,050,000 options and no warrants, whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share for September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.

Table of Contents

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 September 30,March 31, 2016, and 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 ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 or 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other receivables, accounts payable & accrued expenses, due to related party, notes payable and notes payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's convertible notes payable are measured at amortized cost.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3. See Note 5.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. 

 

Subsequent Events

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 completely 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 5 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

(A)Convertible Notes Issued in May 8, 2015

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued in May 8, 2015. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. 

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the ratchet feature related to convertible debt and warrants is summarized as follow:

   Derivative Liabilities 
Fair value at the commitment date-May 8, 2015  $331,434  
Fair value mark to market adjustment   114,717   
Balances as of September 30, 2015   216,717  

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of September 30, 2015:

  Commitment Date Remeasurement Date
 Expected dividends  0%   0% 
 Expected volatility  167%   183% 
 Expected term   0.5 years    0.1 years  
 Risk free interest rate   0.08%    0.01% 

(B)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 six months ended June 30, 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:

(i)Various restrictive provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Class C Senior Secured Convertible Notes were either eliminated by amendment or waived;
(ii)the related warrants, initially exercisable into an aggregate of 4,535,714 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.50, were exchanged for new warrants, initially exercisable into an aggregate of 4,535,714 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.00; and
(iii)the Series A and B Senior Secured Convertible Notes, with an aggregate original principal amount of $1,950,000, were exchanged for an aggregate of 7 million shares of our common stock and the payment by the Company to such holders of an aggregate of approximately $1,951,400 (the remaining cash amount held in a control account pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A and B Senior Secured Convertible Notes)

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:

Grant Date Fair Value Term
(Years)
 Assumed Conversion Price Market Price on Grant Date Volatility Percentage Risk-free
Rate
 3/20/2013  $546,119   3.0  $0.326  $0.465   238%  0.0038 
                           

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 nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2015, the Company decreased this derivative liability to $0.2016.

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:

 

cost of revenues; and
 • Cost of revenues; and

 

Selling, general and administration.

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, enabledprior to the spinoff was used to enable us to begin upgrading our technology, develop new products and actively solicit additional business.business, and more recently to protect, increase and enforce our patent portfolio.  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.
