Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern
Organization
EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. (“EarthSearch”) was founded in November 2003 as a Georgia corporation. The company subsequently re-incorporated in Delaware on July 8, 2005.
On December 18, 2009, East Coast Diversified Corporation's (“ECDC” or the “Company”) former principal stockholders, Frank Rovito, Aaron Goldstein and Green Energy Partners, LLC (collectively the “Sellers”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Kayode Aladesuyi (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Sellers, beneficial owners of an aggregate of 6,997,150 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Sellers' Shares”), agreed to sell and transfer the Sellers' Shares to the Buyer for an aggregate of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00). The Purchase Agreement also provided that the Company would enter into a share exchange agreement with EarthSearch.
On January 15, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with EarthSearch, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 35,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock to the shareholders of EarthSearch. On April 2, 2010, EarthSearch consummated all obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 93.49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of EarthSearch. As a result of the Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange Agreement, our principal business became the business of EarthSearch. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) passed a resolution electing the new members of the Board and appointing new management of the Company and effectively resigning as their last order of business.
The Share Exchange was accounted for us as an acquisition and recapitalization. EarthSearch is the acquirer for accounting purposes and, consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements herein are those of EarthSearch. The accumulated deficit of EarthSearch was also carried forward after the acquisition.
On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired 1,800,000 additional shares of EarthSearch from a non-controlling shareholder in exchange for 439,024 shares of the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 2012, the Company owns 94.66% of the issued and outstanding stock of EarthSearch.
On October 23, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “RP Share Exchange Agreement”) with Rogue Paper, Inc., a California corporation (“Rogue Paper”), and shareholders of Rogue Paper (the “Rogue Paper Holders”). Rogue Paper is headquartered in San Francisco, California and is a developer of mobile and branded applications for major media enterprises. The Company acquired fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Rogue Paper in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred”).
Pursuant to the RP Share Exchange Agreement, no sooner than twelve months from the Effective Date, the Series A Preferred shares shall be convertible, at the option of the holder of such shares, into an aggregate of fifty million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Beginning sixth months from the Effective Date, both the Company and holders of the Series A Preferred shares shall have the option to redeem any portion of such holders’ Series A Preferred shares, for cash, at a price of sixty cents ($0.60) per share. Additionally, commencing twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date, the holders of the remaining, unsold shares of Rogue Paper common stock may require the Company to redeem such shares, for cash, at a price of three cents ($0.03) per share. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the management of Rogue Paper effectively shut-down operations, denied the Company access to financial records, refused to participate in shareholder or management meetings and all members of Rogue management resigned January 25, 2013. No legal action has been taken by either Rogue Paper or the Company. As financial records have not been available since September 30, 2012, the Company has treated the balance sheets and results of operations of Rogue Paper as a discontinued operation.
On January, 12, 2012, StudentConnect Inc., a Georgia corporation, was formed as a subsidiary of the Company.
On July, 4, 2012, WetWinds Inc., a Georgia corporation, was formed as a subsidiary of the Company.

Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern (Continued)
Nature of Operations
The Company is a holding company for several subsidiaries offering products and services in several areas of technology. EarthSearch Communications is a Logistics and Asset Management Company. The Company has created an integration of Radio Frequency Identification Technology (“RFID”) and GPS technology and is an international provider of supply chain management solutions offering real-time visibility in the supply chain with integrated RFID/GPS and other telemetry products. These solutions help businesses worldwide to increase asset management, provide safety and security, increase productivity, and deliver real-time visibility of the supply chain through automation.
StudentConnect provides school transportation technology that would allow parents to receive real time notification about the status of their children. The company utilizes wireless communication between GPS and RFID to provide these services. The product is provided to schools and parents at zero cost. The Company’s business model allows it to charge business advertisers who sponsor alerts and messages to parents receiving the messages.
Wetwinds launched Vir2o, its social media platform, on April 5, 2012, and has commenced marketing of the platform to users globally. The Company offers users a community newsfeed, messaging module, profile wall and private rooms to share content with friends and families. Each user will have their own private photo, music, movie, game ecommerce rooms. Users can privately or publicly share content in these rooms with their friends and family. We also provide the interactive “JoinMe” technology that allows users and friends to engage in meaningful social activities online. All of our revenue from Vir2o will be advertisement driven.
Rogue Paper, Inc. (“Rogue Paper”), the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, offers second screen technology to the media organizations and businesses. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the management of Rogue Paper effectively shut-down operations, denied the Company access to financial records, refused to participate in shareholder or management meetings and all members of Rogue management resigned on January 25, 2013. No legal action has been taken by either Rogue Paper or the Company. As financial records have not been available since September 30, 2012, the Company has treated the balance sheets and results of operations of Rogue Paper as a discontinued operation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2012 annual consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 16, 2013.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,570,624 at September 30, 2013, a net loss and net cash used in operations of $1,758,516 and $669,789, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, generate revenues, and continue to raise additional investment capital. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern (Continued)
Going Concern (Continued)
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans will afford the Company the opportunity to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications
Certain items on the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company grants unsecured credit to commercial and governmental customers in the United States and abroad. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, two customers account for 70% and 79% of the total accounts receivable, respectively.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Bad debt expense was $nil and $311,671 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(“Ironridge”) purchased $826,367 of accounts payable and $241,978 of loans payable, for a total of $1,068,345, from certain creditors of the Company. On April 20, 2012, the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District approved a Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the “Settlement of Claims”) in the favor of Ironridge. The Settlement of Claims calls for the amount to be paid by issuance of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the common stock is to be calculated based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock over the calculation period, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the calculation period, less a discount of 35%. The calculation period is defined as the period from the approval of the Settlement of Claims until the settlement is completed.
As the terms of the settlement include issuing common stock at a 35% discount to the conversion price, a derivative liability for the discount was established at the time of the Settlement of Claims of $575,263, which was charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2012 as a loss on conversion of debt. The derivative liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period with any change in the liability being charged to operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, the change in derivative liability of $5,723 and $12,099, respectively, has been expensed.
As common stock is issued in installments on the settlement, the Amounts Payable in Common Stock and the Derivative Liability will be reduced accordingly. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 101,300,000 shares of common stock, with a market value of $113,000, were issued to Ironridge in settlement of $173,730 of the liability, resulting in the reduction of the derivative liability of $105,270. During the year ended December 31, 2012, 1,610,400 shares of common stock, with a market value of $1,201,930, were issued to Ironridge in settlement of $773,390 of the liability, resulting in the reduction of the derivative liability of $416,441.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the “Filings”) filed by East Coast Diversified Corporation (the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on April 16, 2013, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we funded our operations through financing activities consisting of private placements of equity securities with outside investors and loans from related and unrelated parties. Our principal use of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 has been for working capital and general corporate expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended March 30, 2012
As of September 30, 2013, we had cash of $368 and a working capital deficit of $3,573,986. The Company generated a negative cash flow from operations of $669,789 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to cash used in operations of $1,242,037 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $1,758,516, offset by noncash depreciation and amortization of $3,166, issuance of loan payable for consulting services of $78,922, stock issued for services of $12,900, amortization of prepaid license fees of $37,500, accretion of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes payable of $400,424, accrued interest on loans payable of $56,626, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $671,174, and increased by change in derivative liability of $154,277 and noncontrolling interests in the loss of EarthSearch of $17,708.

The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $3,221,480, offset by noncash depreciation and amortization of $24,046, provision for doubtful accounts of $311,671, amortization of intangible assets of disputed subsidiary of $114,750, issuance of loan payable for consulting services of $60,000, stock issued for services and compensation of $425,205, amortization of prepaid license fees of $37,500, amortization of payment redemption premiums of $12,076, loss on conversion of debt of $575,263, change in derivative liability of $2,291, accretion of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes payable of $604,841, accretion of stock discounts on convertible notes payable of $2,160, accrued interest on loans payable of $47,224, liabilities of disputed subsidiary of $11,116, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $101,986 and increased by gain on recovery of redemption premiums of $28,975, gain on settlement of loans payable of $38,646, gain on settlement of accounts payable of $102,495, assets of disputed subsidiary of $ 107,271 and noncontrolling interests in the losses of EarthSearch of $73,299.
No cash was used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 while $700 was used for capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Cash generated from our financing activities was $670,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $1,192,878 during the comparable period in 2012. This decrease was primarily attributed to the proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock subscriptions of $91,500 in 2013 compared to $325,002 in 2012, proceeds from the issuance of common stock subscriptions of $14,000 in 2013, proceeds from loans payable of $302,500 in 2013 compared to $676,076 in 2012, proceeds from loans payable – related parties of $65,157 in 2013 compared to $56,500 in 2012, repurchase of common stock of $5,000 in 2013, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $20,000 in 2013 compared to $1,000 in 2012, proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $184,000 in 2013 compared to $151,900 in 2012, the repayment of loans payable of $2,000 in 2013 compared to $12,600 in 2012, and the repayment of loans payable – related party of $5,000 in 2012.
We will require additional financing during the current fiscal year. During the period from October 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013, we received proceeds of $23,500 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and loans and $12,500 from the sale of preferred stock.
On April 20, 2012, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Ironridge Technology Co., a division of Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”), providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to the Ironridge of an aggregate of 1,500 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) in fifteen (15) equal tranches of 100 Preferred Shares each, at a price of $1,000 per Preferred Share. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation to create the Series B Preferred Shares, each Preferred Share may be converted at any time at the option of Ironridge into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 at a conversion price of $.01 per share, subject to certain adjustments. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company received $100,000 for the first tranche of 100 shares and $229,000 of the subscription receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received $42,500 of the subscription receivable.
In connection with the Closing, on April 20, 2012 the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Ironridge, pursuant to which the Company will file a registration statement related to the Stock Purchase Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Common Stock that will be issued to Ironridge upon conversion of the Preferred Shares.
On April 20, 2012, the Company issued 99,400 shares of the Company’s common stock to Ironridge in reliance on the private placement exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. The shares issued to Ironridge were issued pursuant to a Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the “Stipulation”) filed by the Company and Ironridge in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles (Case No. BC481395) on April 20, 2012 in settlement of claims purchased by Ironridge from certain creditors of the Company in the aggregate amount equal to $1,079,991 (the “Claim Amount”), plus attorney’s fees and costs. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Company was required to issue and deliver 99,400 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Issuance”). Ironridge will ultimately be entitled to retain a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Final Amount”) that is equal to: (a) the sum of $1,068,344.86 plus a transaction fee of $40,000 and reasonable attorney’s fees, (b) divided by sixty-five percent (65%) of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg Professional service of Bloomberg LP over a period of time beginning on the date on which Ironridge receives the Initial Issuance and ending on the date on which the aggregate trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds $5,000,000 (such period being the “Calculation Period”), not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the Calculation Period. For every 20 million shares that trade during the Calculation Period, or if any time during the Calculation Period a daily VWAP is below 80% of the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the day before the date of the Initial Issuance, Ironridge has the right to cause the Company to immediately issue to Ironridge additional shares of Common Stock (each, an “Additional Issuance”) (provided, however, that at no time may Ironridge and its affiliates collectively own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding). At the end of the Calculation Period, (a) if the sum of the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance is less than the Final Amount, the Company shall immediately issue additional shares to Ironridge so that the total issuance is equal to the Final Amount and (b) if the sum of the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, Ironridge will return any remaining shares to the Company for cancellation. Subsequent to April 24, 2012 and through September 30, 2013, the Company has issued an additional 102,910,400 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Stipulation.

Going Concern
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this conclusion by our independent auditors.
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of 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. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.
See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on April 16, 2013, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
29 |
(b) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
