Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||
SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' | ||
NATURE OF OPERATIONS – | |||
On September 10, 2013, Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. changed its name from Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. (the "Company" or "Mobiquity"). | |||
Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. is an advertising technology (Ad Tech) company focusing on connecting Fans (consumers) and Brands through a single platform utilizing Online, Social and Mobile. Mobiquity leverages leading edge mobile technologies including Bluetooth (Push & Beacon BLE), Wi-Fi, NFC (Near Field Communications) and QR (Quick Response) code and employs propriety devices through retail environments to build physical networks. Assets are managed in a single platform creating a new class of consumer engagement and data intelligence. | |||
Mobiquity Technologies has developed and acquired a number of innovative marketing technologies, spanning location-based mobile marketing, mobile customer data analytics, web content and customer relationship management, that it will continue to leverage through its two wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries: Mobiquity Networks and Ace Marketing & Promotions and Mobiquity Wireless SLU, a company incorporated in Spain. | |||
Ace Marketing, Inc., which recently changed its name to its parent corporation’s old name, namely, Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. (“AMI”), is an Integrated Marketing Company focused on marketing process analysis and technology-based growth acceleration strategies. AMI offers Brand Analysis & Development, Website Analysis & Development, Database Analysis & Building, and Integrated Marketing Campaigns using: direct mail, email marketing, mobile marketing, promotional products and other mediums that help its clients connect with their customers and acquire new business | |||
Mobiquity Networks, Inc. is a leading provider of hyper-local mobile marketing solutions. Mobiquity is continuing to attempt to build one of the nation's largest Location-Based Mobile Marketing networks. Location-Based Mobile Marketing is a mobile marketing tool that delivers rich digital content to any Bluetooth or Wi-Fi enabled device within a 300ft radius of a central terminal. Our technology permits delivery to virtually any mobile device and properly formats each message to ensure that every user receives the best possible experience. Results are fully trackable, giving campaigns full performance accountability. We offer brands the opportunity to reach millions of consumers with relevant, engaging content that is 100% free to the end user. The Mobiquity network is the largest mall-based Bluetooth network of its kind. It is currently installed in 100 malls across the US, covering each of the top 10 designated marketing areas (“DMA’s”), and has the ability to reach approximately 120 million shopping visits per month. | |||
Mobiquity Wireless SLU is a corporation incorporated in Spain. This corporation has an office in Spain to support our U.S. operations. See “Note 2” below regarding “Acquisition of Assets of FuturLink.” | |||
Agreement with Simon Property Group, L.P. | |||
In April 2011, we signed an exclusive rights agreement with a Top Mall Developer (the "Simon Property Group") to create a location-based mobile marketing network utilizing Bluetooth technology called Mobiquity Networks. In August 2013, we amended the original agreement to now provide for a 75 mall agreement by the end of 2013, which contract runs through December 31, 2017 and includes top malls in the Simon Mall portfolio. Through our partnership agreement with Eye Corp., we also are located in 25 Macerich malls. These agreements provide advertisers the opportunity to reach millions of mall visitors per month with mobile content and offers when they are most receptive to advertising messages. | |||
Our Location-Based Mobile advertising medium is designed to reach on-the-go shoppers via their mobile devices with free rich media content delivered using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This advertising medium offers extremely targeted messaging engineered to engage and influence shoppers as they move about the mall environment. | |||
Mobiquity Networks Mobi-units will be strategically positioned in shopping malls near entrances, anchor stores, escalators and other high-traffic, and high dwell-time areas. Mobiquity Networks Mobi-unit placement takes advantage of the opportunity to provide a reminder to consumers and touch them just before making a purchase decision. These units generate high awareness and brand recognition at the right time and place. | |||
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobiquity Networks, Inc., Ace Marketing, Inc., (which has had its name changed to Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. and Mobiquity Wireless S.L.U.). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||
ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures. | |||
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: | |||
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | ||
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data | ||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. | ||
Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. | |||
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory note, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and their market interest rates. | |||
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses. | |||
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less, as well as bank money market accounts, to be cash equivalents. | |||
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. | |||
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. | |||
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company maintains bank account balances, which exceed FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Management does not believe significant credit risk exists at December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since the Company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Advance payments made by customers are included in customer deposits. | |||
The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred. | |||
Additional source of revenue, derived from emails/texts directly to consumers are recognized under contractual arrangements. Revenue from this advertising method is recognized at the time of service provided. | |||
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Management must make estimates of the uncollectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. | |||
INVENTORY – Inventory is recorded at cost (First In, First Out) and is comprised of finished goods. The Company maintains an inventory on hand for its largest customer’s frequent order items. All items held are branded for the customer, therefore are not available for public distribution. The Company has an agreement with this customer, for cost recovery, if vendor relationship is terminated. There has been no reserves placed on inventory, based on this arrangement. | |||
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining term of the lease. The costs of additions and improvements, which substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and the gain or loss on disposition is reflected in operating income. | |||
LONG LIVED ASSETS - Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented. | |||
WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY - Website technology developed during the year was capitalized for the period of development and testing. Expenditures during the planning stage and after implementation have been expensed in accordance with ASC985. | |||
ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 there were advertising costs of $3,840 and $1,404, respectively. | |||
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”) and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed (“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 8 “Stock Option Plans” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a more detailed discussion. | |||
BENEFICIAL CONVERSIONS - Debt instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as deemed interest to the holders of the convertible debt instruments. The beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the debt instrument limited to the value received. The beneficial conversion amount is recorded as interest expense and an increase to additional paid-in-capital. The beneficial conversion has been fully accreted to the face value of the original loan and interest expense has been recognized. | |||
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We own a subsidiary in Europe. Our subsidiary’s functional currency is the EURO. All transactions initiated in EUROs are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements,” as follows: | |||
(i) | Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. | ||
(ii) | Fixed assets and equity transactions at historical rates. | ||
(iii) | Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. | ||
Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income. | |||
No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded since March 7, 2013 (date of acquisition of subsidiary) to December 31, 2013. | |||
INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities for which income tax or tax benefits are expected to be realized in future years. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. | |||
NET INCOME PER SHARE - Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 26,185,000 and 18,895,000 because they are anti-dilutive, as a result of a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |||
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration. |

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE | ' |
On June 12, 2012, the Company closed on a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with TCA related to a $350,000 convertible promissory note issued by the Company in favor of TCA (the “Convertible Note”), which Convertible Note was funded by TCA on June 12, 2012. The maturity date of the Convertible Note was December 2013, and the Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the average of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. The Convertible Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty. The Security Agreement granted to TCA a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobiquity Networks, Inc., also entered into a similar Security Agreement and Guaranty Agreement. On December 12, 2013, TCA sold its entire interest in the Company’s $350,000 secured promissory note to Thomas Arnost, a director of the Company, at face value. Mr. Arnost entered into an amendment to the note to extend the maturity date of the note to June 12, 2014, subject to his right to declare the note due and payable at any time in his sole discretion. Also, the interest rate was raised from 12% per annum to 15% and the conversion price of the shares issuable upon conversion of the note was fixed at $.30 per share. The aforementioned note is convertible at the sole discretion of the noteholder. The noteholder immediately converted $28,000 into 93,334 shares of common stock in December 2013. The balance on the note is $322,000 as of December 31, 2013 and interest accrued in the amount of $2,158, included in accrued expense. | |
The Company evaluated the terms of the new note in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the note and was deemed to be less than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the note. Therefore, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $116,667. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital and recognized interest expense in the period. |

On January 30, 2012, the Company’s private placement offering was terminated. Rockwell Global Capital LLC acted as Placement Agent. The Company received gross proceeds of $575,000 from the sale of 958,338 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $.60 per share. The private placement offering also included the sale of Warrants to purchase 191,671 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $.60 per share and expiring on January 18, 2016. The Placement Agent received a $25,000 advisory fee, $51,750 in commissions and warrants to purchase 95,833 shares identical to the warrants sold to investors in the offering. Exemption is claimed for the sale of securities pursuant to Rule 506 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. | |||
The Company is required to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold in the private placement offering and the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class AA Warrants (collectively the “Registrable Shares”). If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Shares is not filed with the SEC on or before March 15, 2012 or is not declared effective within 120 days of January 30, 2012 (subject to a 60 day extension in the event the SEC is performing a full review of the Registration Statement), the Company shall pay to each investor as liquidated damages, a payment equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such investor in the offering, cumulative for every 30 day period until such Registration Statement has been filed or declared effective or a portion thereof, up to a maximum of 15% per annum. The Company, at its sole discretion, elected to pay the liquidated damage payment in Common Stock. As of December 31, 2012, the Registration Statement has not been filed and the Company has elected to issue the maximum liquidation damages for a period of one year of an aggregate of 197,860 shares. | |||
In April 2012, the Company received $270,000 from the exercise of Warrants and issued 900,000 shares of its Common Stock. Between April 1, 2012 and May 15, 2012, the Company sold 470,000 shares of Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share pursuant to an ongoing plan of financing. The Series 1 Preferred Stock had the following rights, preferences and privileges: | |||
· | Automatic Conversion into Common Stock. Each Preferred Share shall automatically convert on March 31, 2013 into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Shares”) based on a conversion price of the lower of $.60 per share or an amount equal to 90% of the average closing sales price for the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or Pink Sheets) for the 20 trading days immediately preceding March 31, 2013, with a floor of $.45 per share. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the automatic conversion ranges from a minimum of 366,666 shares to a maximum of 488,888 shares. | ||
· | Optional Conversion into Common Stock. Commencing July 1, 2012, each Preferred Share shall at the option of the holder become convertible into Common Shares based on a conversion price of the lower of $.60 per share or 85% of the average closing sales price for the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or Pink Sheets) for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date, with a floor of $.45 per share. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the optional conversion ranges from a minimum of 366,666 shares to a maximum of 488,888 shares. | ||
· | Conversion Premium. Upon calculation of the number of Common Shares, the Preferred Shareholder is entitled to receive upon conversion of Series 1 Preferred Stock into Common Stock; the investor will receive an additional 8% premium. Accordingly, once the number of Common Shares is determined based upon the automatic conversion or optional conversion formulas set forth above, the investor will have that number of Common Stock multiplied by 1.08 (i.e. 108%) to determine the actual number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion. | ||
· | Voting. The Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights until converted into Common Shares, except as otherwise required by applicable state law. | ||
· | Dividends. The Preferred Shares shall have no dividend rights until converted into Common Shares, except as otherwise required by applicable state law. | ||
· | Liquidation Preference. The Preferred Shares shall have no liquidation preference and shall be treated the same as a holder of Common Shares. | ||
· | Call Option. The Company may call the Preferred Shares for redemption at a price of $1.08 per share at any time on or after July 1, 2012, subject to the investor’s right of conversion upon no less than 10 days prior written notice of redemption to each Preferred Shareholder, which notice may only be provided to the holders so long as the Company completes a financing or series of financings totaling at least $2 million in gross proceeds (excluding monies raised from the sale of the Series 1 Preferred Stock). | ||

During Fiscal 2005, the Company established, and the stockholders approved, an Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan") for the granting of up to 2,000,000 non-statutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Company. On June 9, 2005, the Board of Directors amended the Plan to increase the number of stock options and awards to be granted under the Plan to 4,000,000. During Fiscal 2009, the Company established a plan of long-term stock-based compensation incentives for selected Eligible Participants of the Company covering 4,000,000 shares. This plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by stockholders in October 2009 and shall be known as the 2009 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan (the "2009 Plan"). In September 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares covered by the 2009 Plan to 10,000,000.

All stock options under the Plans are granted at or above the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee and non-employee stock options vest over varying periods and generally expire either 5 or 10 years from the grant date.

For option grants, the Company will take into consideration payments subject to the provisions of ASC 718 "Stock Compensation", previously Revised SFAS No. 123 "Share-Based Payment" ( "SFAS 123 (R)"). The fair values of these restricted stock awards are equal to the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant, after taking into certain discounts. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS – | |||||
On March 1, 2005, the Company entered into employment contracts with two of its officers, namely, Dean L. Julia and Michael D. Trepeta. The employment agreements provide for minimum annual salaries plus bonuses equal to 5% of pre-tax earnings (as defined) and other perquisites commonly found in such agreements. In addition, pursuant to the employment contracts, the Company granted the officers options to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock. | |||||
On August 22, 2007, the Company approved a three year extension of the employment contracts with two of its officers expiring on February 28, 2011. The employment agreements provided for minimum annual salaries with scheduled increases per annum to occur on every anniversary date of the contract and extension commencing on March 1, 2008. A signing bonus of options to purchase 150,000 shares granted to each executive were fully vested at the date of the grant and exercisable at $1.20 per share through August 22, 2017. Ten year options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock are to be granted at fair market value on each anniversary date of the contract and extension commencing March 1, 2008. Termination pay of one year base salary based upon the scheduled annual salary of each executive officer for the next contract year, plus the amount of bonuses paid (or entitle to be paid) to the executive for the current fiscal year of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher. | |||||
On April 7, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a five-year extension of the employment contract of Dean L. Julia and Michael D. Trepeta to expire on March 1, 2015. The Board approved the continuation of each officer’s current salary and scheduled salary increases on March 1st of each year. The Board also approved a signing bonus of stock options to purchase 200,000 shares granted to each officer which is fully vested at the date of grant and exercisable at $.50 per share through April 7, 2020; ten-year stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock to be granted to each officer at fair market value on each anniversary date of the contract and extension thereof commencing March 1, 2011; and termination pay of one year base salary based upon the scheduled annual salary of each executive officer for the next contract year plus the amount of bonuses paid or entitled to be paid to the executive for the current fiscal year or the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher. In the event of termination, the executives will continue to receive all benefits included in the employment agreement through the scheduled expiration date of said employment agreement prior to the acceleration of the termination date thereof. | |||||
In July 2012, the Company approved and in January 2013 the Company implemented amending the employment agreements of Messrs. Julia and M. Trepeta to expire on February 28, 2017, subject to an automatic one year renewal on March 1, 2013 and on each March 1st thereafter, unless the Employment Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms on or before December 30th of the prior calendar year. In the event of termination without cause, the executives will continue to receive all salary and benefits included in the employment agreement through the scheduled expiration date of said employment agreement prior to the acceleration of the termination date thereof, plus one year termination pay. | |||||
On May 28, 2013, the Company approved amending the employment agreements of Messrs. Julia and Trepeta to provide that each officer may choose an annual bonus equal to 5% of pre-tax earnings for the most recently completed year before deduction of annual bonuses paid to officers or, in the event majority control of the Company is acquired by a person or a group of persons during the prior fiscal year, the officer may choose to receive the aforementioned bonus or 1% of the control consideration paid by acquirer(s) to acquire majority control of the Company. | |||||
TRANSACTIONS WITH MAJOR CUSTOMERS – | |||||
The Company sells its products to a geographically diverse group of customers, performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. During the year ended December 31, 2013 a customer accounted for approximately 8% of net revenues and for the year ended December 31, 2012 a customer accounted for approximately 5% of net revenues. The Company holds on hand certain items that are ordered on a regular basis. |

COMMITTED EQUITY FACILITY AGREEMENT/REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT | ' |
On June 12, 2012, Mobiquity finalized a committed equity facility (the “Equity Facility”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TCA”), whereby the parties entered into as of May 31, 2012 (i) a committed equity facility agreement (the “Equity Agreement”) and (ii) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). | |
Committed Equity Facility Agreement | |
On June 12, 2012, the Company finalized an Equity Agreement with TCA. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, for a period of twenty-four months commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined herein), TCA shall commit to purchase up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), pursuant to Advances (as defined below), covering the Registrable Securities (as defined below). The purchase price of the Shares under the Equity Agreement is equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days after the Company delivers to TCA an Advance notice in writing requiring TCA to advance funds (an “Advance”) to the Company, subject to the terms of the Equity Agreement. | |
The “Registrable Securities” include (i) the Shares; and (ii) any securities issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of exchange, stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise. | |
As further consideration for TCA entering into and structuring the Equity Facility, the Company shall pay to TCA a fee by issuing to TCA that number of shares of the Company’s common stock that equal a dollar amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the “Facility Fee Shares”). It is the intention of the Company and TCA that the value of the Facility Fee Shares shall equal $100,000. In the event the value of the Facility Fee Shares issued to TCA does not equal $100,000 after a ninth month evaluation date, the Equity Agreement provides for an adjustment provision allowing for necessary action to adjust the number of shares issued. In June 2012, the Company issued 196,078 shares of common stock as the initial Facility Fee Shares. As of December 31, 2013, a total of 8,000 shares have been issued and paid for pursuant to the Equity Facility. | |
Registration Rights Agreement | |
On June 12, 2012, the Company finalized the Registration Rights Agreement with TCA. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC’) to cover the Registrable Securities. The Company must use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC. On April 12, 2013, a Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC covering the resale of up to 5,000,000 shares under the Equity Agreement. |

1_SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOU1
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended | ||
Dec. 31, 2013 | |||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION | ' | ||
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobiquity Networks, Inc., Ace Marketing, Inc., (which has had its name changed to Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. and Mobiquity Wireless S.L.U.). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||
ESTIMATES | ' | ||
ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | ' | ||
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures. | |||
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: | |||
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | ||
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data | ||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. | ||
Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. | |||
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and promissory note, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and their market interest rates. | |||
RECLASSIFICATIONS | ' | ||
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses. | |||
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | ' | ||
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less, as well as bank money market accounts, to be cash equivalents. | |||
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK | ' | ||
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. | |||
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. | |||
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company maintains bank account balances, which exceed FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. Management does not believe significant credit risk exists at December 31, 2013 and 2012. | |||
REVENUE RECOGNITION | ' | ||
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon the customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since the Company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Advance payments made by customers are included in customer deposits. | |||
The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and related costs as cost of goods sold, when incurred. | |||
Additional source of revenue, derived from emails/texts directly to consumers are recognized under contractual arrangements. Revenue from this advertising method is recognized at the time of service provided. | |||
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS | ' | ||
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Management must make estimates of the uncollectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. | |||
INVENTORY | ' | ||
INVENTORY – Inventory is recorded at cost (First In, First Out) and is comprised of finished goods. The Company maintains an inventory on hand for its largest customer’s frequent order items. All items held are branded for the customer, therefore are not available for public distribution. The Company has an agreement with this customer, for cost recovery, if vendor relationship is terminated. There has been no reserves placed on inventory, based on this arrangement. | |||
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | ' | ||
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining term of the lease. The costs of additions and improvements, which substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and the gain or loss on disposition is reflected in operating income. | |||
LONG-LIVED ASSETS | ' | ||
LONG LIVED ASSETS - Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented. | |||
WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY | ' | ||
WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY - Website technology developed during the year was capitalized for the period of development and testing. Expenditures during the planning stage and after implementation have been expensed in accordance with ASC985. | |||
ADVERTISING COSTS | ' | ||
ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 there were advertising costs of $3,840 and $1,404, respectively. | |||
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION | ' | ||
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of the awards, which involves certain subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”) and the number of options for which vesting requirements will not be completed (“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 8 “Stock Option Plans” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a more detailed discussion. | |||
BENEFICIAL CONVERSIONS | ' | ||
BENEFICIAL CONVERSIONS - Debt instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as deemed interest to the holders of the convertible debt instruments. The beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the debt instrument limited to the value received. The beneficial conversion amount is recorded as interest expense and an increase to additional paid-in-capital. The beneficial conversion has been fully accreted to the face value of the original loan and interest expense has been recognized. | |||
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS | ' | ||
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We own a subsidiary in Europe. Our subsidiary’s functional currency is the EURO. All transactions initiated in EUROs are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements,” as follows: | |||
(i) | Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. | ||
(ii) | Fixed assets and equity transactions at historical rates. | ||
(iii) | Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. | ||
Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income. | |||
No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded since March 7, 2013 (date of acquisition of subsidiary) to December 31, 2013. | |||
INCOME TAXES | ' | ||
INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities for which income tax or tax benefits are expected to be realized in future years. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. | |||
NET INCOME PER SHARE | ' | ||
NET INCOME PER SHARE - Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. The number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain options and warrants that were excluded from the diluted loss per common share calculation was approximately 26,185,000 and 18,895,000 because they are anti-dilutive, as a result of a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | ' | ||
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |||
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration. |
