The Company’s management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived asset impairment is determined by management.
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the net assets acquired in a business combination. Management reviews, on an annual basis, the carrying value of goodwill in order to determine whether impairment has occurred. Impairment is based on several factors including the Company’s projection of future undiscounted operating cash flows. When an impairment of the carrying value is indicated by this review, the Company adjusts the carrying value of goodwill to its estimated fair value.
It is the Company’s policy that revenue from product sales or services will be recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 101”). SAB No. 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product was not delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
The Company accounts for awards made under its two stock-based compensation plans pursuant to the fair value provisions of ASC No. 718. ASC No. 718 requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718 and estimates its fair value based on using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model also requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including:
These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods. In the future, we may elect to use different assumptions under the Black-Scholes valuation model or a different valuation model, which could result in a significantly different impact on our net income or loss.
The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards is made as of their respective dates of grant using the Black Scholes option valuation model. Because the Company’s options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, the Black Scholes option valuation model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s options. Although the fair value of the Company’s options is determined in accordance with ASC No. 718, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The calculated compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options.
See also Note 9 – “Stock Based Compensation Plans”– to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report for additional information regarding our accounting policies for stock-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during the year ended April 30, 2013, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.
Comparison of the twelve months ended April 30, 2013 to the twelve months ended April 30, 2012
Consolidated CornerWorld Corporation
Revenues and Gross profit:
We had revenues totaling $7,181,842 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $10,141,603 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $2,959,761 is primarily due to revenue decreases in our marketing services segment resulting from the deterioration of the market for lead generation in the for-profit education space and the loss of a significant enterprise client in October 2011. In addition, to a much smaller extent, our communications services segment experienced a decrease in revenues due to the fact that, as our customers built out their networks, the Company experienced a reduction in roaming traffic.
Similarly, gross profit decreased for the year ended April 30, 2013 to $5,837,389 from $7,542,636 for the year ended April 30, 2012. This decrease was consistent with the revenue decrease.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
SG&A expenses totaled $3,162,028 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $5,356,777 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $2,194,749 is primarily due to the cost savings resulting from staff reductions, office closures and other cost cutting measures.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $1,640,215 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $2,024,538 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $384,323 is due to the fact that our customer list for our marketing company became fully amortized during the year ended April 30, 2012 and several of our larger telecommunications fixed assets have become fully depreciated.
Loss from Continuing Operations Before Taxes and Net Loss:
Loss from continuing operations before taxes andnet loss totaled $1,362,234 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $2,105,047 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The improvement of $742,813 is primarily due to reductions in SG&A and depreciation as well as decreases in interest expenses resulting from the Company’s continued repayment of debt. These changes were offset, to some extent, by the fact that the Company recorded an impairment charge totaling by $554,986 by writing down all the goodwill associated with our marketing division.
Marketing services
Revenues:
Our marketing services segment had revenues totaling $1,749,491 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $4,311,811 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $2,562,320 is due to the loss of a significant enterprise client in October 2011, deterioration in the for-profit educational lead generation space and significant ongoing challenges and customer churn in our search engine optimization and website leasing businesses.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Our marketing services segment had depreciation expenses totaling $6,183 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $117,104 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $110,921 is due to the fact that our previously capitalized customer list became fully amortized August 31, 2011.

Income from Continuing Operations Before Taxes and Net Income:
Income from continuing operations before taxes and net income totaled $554,997 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to a loss $104,303 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The improvement of $659,330 is primarily due to reallocation of certain employee salaries to corporate and significant cost savings measures corresponding to the decreases in revenues.
Communications services
Revenues:
Our communications services segment had revenues totaling $5,432,351 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $5,829,792 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $397,441 was primarily due to the reduction of roaming traffic and call volumes resulting from the continued buildout of nationwide mobile carrier networks.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Our communications services segment had depreciation and amortization expenses totaling $1,587,005 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $1,846,364 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $259,359 is primarily due to the fact that several of our larger fixed assets have become fully depreciated.
Income from Continuing Operations Before Taxes and Net Income:
Income from continuing operations before taxes and net income totaled $1,350,649 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to a net income of $1,344,736 for the year ended April 30 2012. The increase of $5,913 is primarily due to the aforementioned decreases in depreciation expenses and decreases in interest expenses as a result of our continued paydown of debt. These expense decreases were offset, to some extent, by decreases in revenues and gross profit as well as slight increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Corporate
Depreciation and Amortization:
Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled $47,027 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to $61,070 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The decrease of $14,043 is due to the fact that many corporate fixed assets have become fully depreciated.
Loss from Continuing Operations Before Taxes and Net Loss:
Loss from continuing operations and net loss totaled $3,267,880 for the year ended April 30, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $3,345,480 for the year ended April 30, 2012. The improvement of $77,600 is primarily due to decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from cost savings measures including reductions in headcount and related expenses. In addition, interest expenses decreased $404,084 as a result of our continued paydown and conversion of debt. These changes were offset, to some extent, by the $554,986 impairment charge associated with the goodwill of our marketing division.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $5.5 million and cash of $1,150,880. Our working capital deficit is primarily related to certain large accounts payable associated with our 2009 Woodland Acquisition as well as the short-term nature of selected tranches of the debt we issued in March 2011 when we recapitalized the Company. We believe the cash flows from our existing operations will be adequate to manage our debt commitments and we have good relationships with the vendors associated with the large accounts payable who we continue to pay with excess cash flow. Management expects that its current cash and operational cash flow will sustain the Company.
The notes payable to Emerald Crest Capital (the “Senior Lender”) contain certain restrictive covenants, the failure to comply with which would result in the acceleration of all or part of the notes payable, depending on the particular covenant, creating a “Paydown Event.” Effective for the period ended April 30, 2013, the Company was required to comply with an additional “Paydown Event” covenant, pursuant to which the Company’s marketing segment must maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), as defined in the credit agreement with the Company’s Senior Lender. Prior to April 30, 2013, the Company received written notice from its Senior Lender that it would be calling an event of default on April 30, 2013. As a result of the Senior Lender’s notice, the Company believed that, pursuant to the Credit Agreement with the Senior Lender, the Company was precluded from paying any principal or interest to any junior creditors.
- 9 -
As of April 30, 2013, the Company did not have sufficient Adjusted EBITDA to be in compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant for the marketing division and the Company did not have sufficient cash reserves to completely make the anticipated Paydown Event to the Senior Lenders. Accordingly, the Company stopped paying all Junior Creditors and received a notice of default from two junior creditors, Ned Timmer and IU Holdings, LP, shortly thereafter. .The Company immediately began negotiations with its Senior Lender.
In the second half of July 2013, the Company and its Senior Lender reached an agreement in principle whereby the Paydown Event and all requirements with respect to the Company’s marketing division, including the Paydown Event, would be removed via an amendment to the credit agreement with the Senior Lender. In addition, the Senior Lender waived the default related to the Paydown Event, modified the Company’s interest rate and adjusted the Company’s amortization schedule, among other things. The Company and it Senior Lender are currently in the process of memorializing the modifications to the Company’s credit agreement with the Senior Lender but the modifications must also be approved by the Company’s multiple subordinated creditors which has not yet taken place. See also note 13, Subsequent Events, inour consolidated financial statementsto this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Assuming we are successful in completing the proposed amendment with the Senior Lender, negotiating a waiver with our subordinated lenders and our operations remain consistent with their historical levels, we anticipate we will have adequate cash to support our existing operations over the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that we will consummate the proposed amendment with the Senior Lender or the Junior Lenders. Should we be unsuccessful in executing the proposed amendments, the Senior Lender could move to seize the underlying collateral which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our investing activity for the year ended April 30, 2013, consisted primarily of $2,463 of capital expenditures, primarily associated with the relocation of several of our facilities, including our home office. Management believes the reduced rents in the new locations will more than offset the capital expenditures.
Our financing activities for the year ended April 30, 2013 included repayment of approximately $1,450,000 in debt and related finance fees.
We have no other bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We source all of our liquidity through our operations and this was our second consecutive year where the Company’s operations generated positive operating cash flow. We expect that trend to continue assuming the debt modifications noted above.
We will most likely need to obtain additional capital in order to further expand our operations. We are currently investigating other financial alternatives, including additional equity and/or debt financing. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. However, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will become available to us, and if available, that such financing will be on terms acceptable to us.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
- 11 -
The Company’s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of April 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, were not effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s CEO and the Company’s CFO and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of April 30, 2013, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of April 30, 2013, as a result of the identification of the material weakness described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
The Company’s management has identified a material weakness in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting related to a shortage of resources in the accounting department required to assure appropriate segregation of duties.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Management’s Remediation Plan
Management determined that a material weakness existed due to an inability to appropriately segregate duties in the Company’s accounting department due to its small size. The Company has replaced selected accounting personnel with more seasoned professionals, including additional certified public accountants, to help perform certain accounting functions and also has included additional reviews to mitigate the size of the accounting department and the overlap of responsibilities. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate this material weakness but the Company can give no assurance that the additional controls will be effective. As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation plan described above. We cannot assure you that, as circumstances change, any additional material weakness will not be identified.
- 12 -
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, 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 III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
The Company currently has two Directors. The term of each Director expires at the Company’s annual meeting each year. The persons whose names are listed below will serve until the Annual Meeting in 2014 or until his successor has been elected and qualified. Our Board of Directors is not currently divided into classes.
| | | | |

Marc Blumberg | | 40 | | Director, 2008 |
Scott N. Beck was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CornerWorld after founding CornerWorld in 2007. Prior to founding CornerWorld, from 2004 to present, Mr. Beck has served as Chairman and President of Beck Ventures, a venture capital firm that he founded.

Code of ethics
As of April 30, 2013, our Board of Directors has not adopted a code of ethics because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.
Director Independence
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB and is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other national securities exchange. Accordingly, we are not currently subject to the Nasdaq continued listing requirements or the requirements of any other national securities exchange. Nevertheless, in determining whether a director or nominee for director should be considered “independent” the board utilizes the definition of independence set forth in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The Company currently does not have an independent director.
Board meetings
The Board of Directors held one meeting during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. Mr. Beck and Mr. Blumberg attended the meeting. Directors receive no compensation for meeting attendance.
Board committees
We do not have an audit, nominating or compensation committee. Due to the small size of the Board of Directors, at this time we do not intend, to establish either an audit committee or a compensation committee of our Board of Directors. When we do ultimately establish these committees, we envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors and evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls. The compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies (including stock options) and other compensation of our executive officers. We do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board because we do not have an audit committee.
Board Structure
Our Board has not chosen to separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the fact that our operations are sufficiently limited that such separation would not serve any useful purpose. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for our company and for the day-to-day leadership of our Company, as well as setting the agenda for Board meetings and presiding over meetings of the full Board.
Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process
Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk and for identifying our risk exposures and communicating such exposures to our Board. Our Board is responsible for designing, implementing and overseeing our risk management processes. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but administers this function directly through the Board as a whole. The whole Board considers strategic risks and. opportunities and receives reports from its officers regarding risk oversight in their areas of responsibility as necessary. We believe our Board’s leadership structure facilitates the division of risk management oversight responsibilities and enhances the Board’s efficiency in fulfilling its oversight function with respect to different areas of our business risks and our risk mitigation practices.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
CornerWorld Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CornerWorld Corporation as of April 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CornerWorld Corporation as of April 30, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1, the Company has suffered significant losses since inception and has working capital and shareholders’ deficits at April 30, 2013, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CornerWorld Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2013
1. Basis of Presentation
Organization
CornerWorld Corporation (“the Company”, “CornerWorld”, “we”, “our” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on November 9, 2004 as Olympic Weddings International, Inc. Effective May 1, 2007, we changed our name to CornerWorld Corporation.
The Company is a marketing and technology services company creating opportunities from the increased accessibility of content across mobile, television and internet platforms. Our key asset is the patented 611 Roaming ServiceTM from RANGER Wireless Solutions ®, which generates revenue by processing approximately 10.2 million calls from roaming wireless customers per year and seamlessly connecting them to their service provider.
On August 27, 2008, CornerWorld entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Enversa Agreement”) with Enversa Companies LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Enversa”), Leadstream LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Leadstream”), and the holders of the membership interests of Leadstream. Pursuant to the Enversa Agreement, on August 27, 2008, Leadstream merged with and into Enversa (the “Merger”), of which CornerWorld is the sole member. Enversa was the surviving company in the Merger and, as such, acquired all right, title and interest in and to all real estate and other property of Leadstream and became responsible for all liabilities and obligations of Leadstream and Enversa. As a result of the Merger, Enversa became a subsidiary of CornerWorld. Prior to the Merger, the Company was in the development stage and had not realized any revenues from its operations. See also Note 3, Acquisitions, for more detail.
Enversa offers a full menu of services for brand and direct response customer acquisition campaigns, including media buying and planning for online and mobile media. It provides customer relationship marketing and interactive services, as well as customer data collection and analysis tools used for planning and targeting client marketing efforts across a network of partner, representative and owned content sites, including CornerWorld.com. Moreover, Enversa operates several ad networks and a proprietary request for proposal (RFP) technology that highlights promotional offers from a variety of corporate clients. Enversa uses an established media auction technology to deliver significantly more inventory than current market rates. Enversa effectively enables media properties to compete against each other, empowering advertisers to extend their marketing budgets beyond typical marketplace levels through fair and free market competition. Using its proprietary technology, Enversa identifies qualified leads for advertisers thereby connecting them with potential consumers. Enversa also utilizes a pay-for-performance pricing model which is very appealing to clients because it insures that they are billed solely for campaign performance. Finally, Enversa’s Gulf Media Solutions, LLC (“Gulf”) subsidiary, provides search engine optimization services (“SEO”), domain leasing and website management services on a recurring monthly basis to over 300 customers.
On February 23, 2009, CornerWorld completed its acquisition (the “Woodland Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of Woodland Wireless Solutions, Ltd. (“Woodland Wireless”), West Michigan Co-Location Services, L.L.C. (“WMCLS”) and T2 TV, L.L.C. (“T2 TV”), and forty voting member units of S Squared, LLC, doing business in the state of Michigan as “Ranger Wireless LLC” (“Ranger”), through its newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Woodland Holdings Corp. (“Woodland Holdings”), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 23, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Woodland Holdings, CornerWorld, Ned B. Timmer and HCC Foundation (“HCC Foundation”). Immediately following the Woodland Acquisition, the forty voting member units of Ranger that were purchased by Woodland Holdings were contributed to Woodland Wireless and all other issued and outstanding voting member units of Ranger remained held by Woodland Wireless.
As a result of the Woodland Acquisition, Ranger became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodland Wireless. In addition, pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) entered into on the Effective Date among Woodland Holdings, Phone Services and More, L.L.C., doing business as Visitatel (“PSM”), T2 Communications, L.L.C. (“T2 Communications”) and Ned B. Timmer, Woodland Holdings agreed to purchase all of the outstanding voting member units of each of PSM and T2 Communications, for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000. Final consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement took place on March 30, 2011. Prior to March 30, 2011, the Company accounted for PSM and T2 Communications as Variable Interest Entities (“VIE’s”) and consolidated them for accounting purposes.

CornerWorld Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2013
Subsequent to the closing of the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company slightly adjusted the manner in which it managed the assets acquired in the Woodland Acquisition; these assets comprise 100% of the Company’s Communication Services Segment. As a result of the closing of the Unit Purchase Agreement, Woodland Wireless, Ranger and WMCLS are collectively referred to herein as the “Ranger Wireless Group”. T2 Communications, T2TV and PSM are collectively referred to herein as the “T2 Group”.
RANGER® is a shortcode application service provider to the wireless industry. The core service offered is 611 Roaming Service™, a patented application providing seamless means for connecting wireless subscribers to reach their home providers customer service call center while roaming on another provider’s network.

On an annual basis, RANGER® processes approximately 11 million calls with an infrastructure capable of handling millions more. RANGER® also manages an online portal which allows carriers access to their monthly statements and reporting on call volume to and from their company.
As a provider of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), Internet and VoIP services, T² Communications delivers leading-edge technology to residential and business customers in Michigan. Offerings include: phone lines, Internet connections, colocation and long distance and toll-free services. T² is a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) that manages its own Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) network with a 10 gigabit backbone and up to 1 gigabit per second connections to end users.
PSM holds an FCC 214 License as a wholesale long distance service provider to the carrier community and large commercial users of transport minutes.
The Company’s year-end is April 30th.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company has experienced losses amounting to $1,362,234 for the year ended April 30, 2013 while it had $1,150,880 in cash and cash equivalents and had a working capital deficiency of $5,534,795 as of April 30, 2013. The Company’s current cash reserves are insufficient to sustain operations over the course of the next year based on the current schedule of maturities of the Company’s short-term secured debt. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable, including the paydown event discussed in more detail in note 5, and its other debt service is dependent on the ability of the Company to either obtain financing necessary to re-pay the Company’s senior lender or to renegotiate maturity dates with all of its secured creditors. The Company is in the process of renegotiating the maturities of all of its financing commitments with its various secured creditors but the negotiations have not yet been completed. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals which raises significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial statements are stated in United States of America dollars.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued theFASB Accounting Standards Codification(the “ASC”), the single source of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The ASC supersedes all existing non- SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the changes in the ASC. The adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2013
Receivables
Accounts receivable include uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30-60 days from invoice date. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected based on historical collection trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $61,349 and $142,548 as of April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The Company previously received administrative support from Enversa’s former parent company, Internet University, Inc. (“Internet University”). Included in such administrative support were human resources, payroll, information technology and facilities services. Prior to February 1, 2011, the Company operated from office space provided by Internet University and utilized furniture and equipment provided by Internet University in such office space. The costs of such services were billed to CornerWorld and were reflected in the income statements in the total amount of $253,999 for the year ended April 30, 2011. Subsequent to February 1, 2011, the Company relocated to new office space.
Additionally, prior to April 30, 2011, all of CornerWorld’s and Enversa’s employees were leased to the Company through an agreement between CornerWorld, Enversa, and Internet University. CornerWorld and Enversa employees were paid under the federal employer identification number and are included in the employee benefit programs, such as life, health and disability insurance and 401(k) of a subsidiary of Internet University. The selling, general and administrative expenses on the income statement reflects a total of $2,531,345 of actual salaries for CornerWorld’s corporate and Enversa personnel during the year ended April 30, 2011, as well as an allocation of payroll taxes and employee benefits calculated at 15% of salary. Subsequent to April 30, 2011, all employees began being paid under the Company’s federal employer identification number.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC No. 850 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts receivable-related party, accounts payable, accounts payable-related party and accrued liabilities approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities. Notes payable are carried at their face value net of their issuance costs which management believes is a reasonable approximation for their fair value. Warrants with put features are carried at their minimum cash put value discounted for the time value of money. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740 which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC 260, the basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share, if any, is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is adjusted for the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as revised by SAB 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
At Enversa, revenue is recognized along with the related cost of revenue as leads are delivered. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Amounts billed to clients in advance of delivery of leads are classified under current liabilities as deferred revenue. At Gulf, revenue is recognized monthly as SEO services are provided or in the form of revenues from domain leases.
For Woodland, the majority of revenue is derived from month-to-month, bundled service contracts for the phone, television and internet services used by each customer. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimates useful lives using the straight-line method as follows:
| |
Computer equipment | 3 years |
Office furniture | 5 years |
Computer software packages | 3 years |
Capitalized software development | 3 years |
Leasehold improvements | 3 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment for impairment. The property and equipment had not incurred any impairment loss at April 30, 2013.
Website development costs representing capitalized costs of design, configuration, coding, installation and testing of the Company’s website are capitalized until initial implementation. Upon implementation, the asset is amortized to expense over its estimated useful life of three (3) years using the straight-line method. Ongoing website post-implementation costs of operation, including training and application maintenance, will be charged to expense as incurred.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with the ASC. The Company’s primary long-lived assets are Goodwill, a patent and property and equipment. The ASC requires a company to assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. Management reviews its long-lived assets annually and concluded that, as of April 30, 2013, due to negative cash flows and the continuing deterioration of market conditions in the for-profit education space, the goodwill associated with Enversa had become permanently impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge to earnings in the fourth quarter totaling $554,986 to impair Enversa’s goodwill. Management does not believe its fixed assets or the Goodwill and patent associated with its Woodland acquisitions are impaired. See also Note 4, Intangible Assets and Goodwill.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for awards made under its two stock-based compensation plans pursuant to the fair value provisions of ASC No. 718. ASC No. 718 requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718 and estimates its fair value based on using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards is made as of their respective dates of grant using that option pricing model and is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as a number of subjective assumptions. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on comparable companies. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock based compensation expense in future periods. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s options. Although the fair value of the Company’s options is determined in accordance with ASC No. 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The calculated compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. See also Note 7 Stock Based Compensation, for more details.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CornerWorld Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities determined to meet the definition of VIE’s. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentrations of cash and cash equivalents
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) currently insures accounts at each institution for up to $250,000. At times, cash balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. At April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $853,432 and $253,489, respectively, in excess of that which is insured by the FDIC.
Concentration of credit risk
Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and the Company does not require collateral. Write-offs of accounts receivable have historically been nominal. The Company’s top three customers comprised 71.3% of total revenue during the year ended April 30, 2013. In addition, approximately 49.2%, 30.1% and 32.2% of total revenue was derived from the Company’s largest customer during the years ended April 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during year ended April 30, 2013, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.
Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year accounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

4. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangibles acquired in connection with business acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method are recorded at their respective fair values. The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangibles over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to seven years. Intangibles consist of the following at April 30:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2013 | | | 2012 | | | Estimated Useful Life (Years) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Patent | | $ | 10,904,792 | | $ | 10,904,792 | | | 7 | |
Customer list | | | 1,000,000 | | | 1,000,000 | | | 3 | |

| | $ | 4,413,842 | | $ | 5,971,670 | | | | |
Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets totaled $1,557,828, $1,668,932 and $1,891,164 for the years ended April 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The estimated amortization for the next five years is as follows:
| |
2014 | 1,557,828 |
2015 | 1,557,828 |
2016 | 1,298,186 |
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the net assets acquired in a business combination and is not amortized in accordance with ASC 350.The provisions of ASC 350 require that the Company allocate its goodwill to its various reporting units, determine the carrying value of those businesses, and estimate the fair value of the reporting units so that a two-step goodwill impairment test can be performed. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Management reviews, on an annual basis, the carrying value of goodwill in order to determine whether impairment has occurred. Impairment is based on several factors including the Company’s projection of future discounted operating cash flows. If an impairment of the carrying value were to be indicated by this review, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.

As previously noted, due to negative cash flows and the continuing deterioration of market conditions in the for-profit education space, the Company’s management determined that, the goodwill associated with Enversa had become permanently impaired. As such, the Company recorded a charge to earnings in the fourth quarter totaling $554,986 to impair Enversa’s goodwill. The goodwill that remains totals $1,581,850 and relates solely to the Company’s Communication Services segment. Based on management’s review, that goodwill was not impaired as of April 30, 2013.

On March 29, 2011, the Company also entered into a warrant purchase agreement with the Senior Lender. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the Senior Lender a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”), pursuant to which the Senior Lender may purchase up to 8,762,008 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate price of $100, have a 5 year term and contain certain put and call options. The Warrant is not exercisable prior to March 30, 2014. Using the Black-Scholes model, the value of the warrant issued to the Senior Lender was less than the net present value of the minimum $1,000,000 cash value of the warrants. Therefore, the net present value of $1,000,000, totaling $873,861 and $754,091 at April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, was recorded as a loan discount, which is being amortized to earnings as additional interest expense over the remaining term of the loan. The warrant will be revalued at each reporting date, and adjusted to earnings. In addition, other loan fees of $717,569 were incurred from the issuance of 75,104,584 shares of the Company’s stock, $512,750 was paid or accrued, and $52,467 was incurred from the grant of additional warrants during March 2011. These fees are being amortized to earnings as additional interest over the remaining term of the loans. The unamortized balance of these deferred costs was $537,313 and $1,039,302 at April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is reflected as a loan discount to the outstanding balance of $7,533,189 and $10,347,388 at April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2013
The notes payable to the Senior Lenders include certain restrictive covenants with respect to the Company’s earnings, leverage and accounts payable. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in the acceleration of all or part of the notes payable to the Senior Lender, depending on the particular covenant, creating a “Paydown Event.” Effective April 30, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with a covenant whereby the Company’s marketing segment did not maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), as defined in the credit agreement with the Senior Lender. Accordingly, the Company was subject to a Paydown Event potentially resulting in a requirement to paydown approximately an additional $1.3 million on June 30, 2013. Failure to obtain a waiver or amendment would entitle the Senior Lender to declare an Event of Default under the Notes, which could lead to an acceleration of all other amounts payable under the Notes. This would entitle the Senior Lender to exercise its remedies under the notes, including foreclosing upon the collateral securing the notes. Any failure to obtain a waiver or amendment of this Paydown Event could inhibit the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and would result in a material adverse effect on the Company.
In the second half of July 2013, the Company and its Senior Lender reached an agreement in principle whereby the Paydown Event and all requirements with respect to the Company’s marketing division would be removed via an amendment to the credit agreement with the Senior Lender. In addition, the Senior Lender waived the default, modified the Company’s interest rate and adjusted the Company’s amortization schedule, among other things. The Company and it Senior Lender are currently in the process of memorializing the modifications to the Company’s credit agreement with the Senior Lender but the modifications must also be approved by the Company’s multiple subordinated creditors which has not yet taken place. See also Note 13, Subsequent Events.
Future minimum principal payments pursuant to the above long term debt agreements are as follows:

Year ending April 30 | | |
2014 | $ | 4,352,979 |
2015 | | 2,707,214 |
2016 | | 472,996 |

As part of the February 23, 2009 Woodland Acquisition, the Company issued warrants to Timmer, who later became an employee and a member of the Board of Directors. The warrants allowed Timmer or his assigns to purchase 33,950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for consideration of $100. Timmer and his assigns exercised the warrants on July 23, 2009 and acquired 33,950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This stock was returned as part of the February 3, 2011 Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and Timmer. See also Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, for more detail.
Pursuant to the financing of the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued warrants to one of the lenders to purchase up to 8,762,008 shares of the Company’s Common stock. These warrants contain certain put and call features, including a put feature that the warrants will not be exercisable for less than $1.0 million in cash, and are not exercisable prior to March 30, 2014.
In connection with the sourcing of capital required to fund the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Dragonfly Capital Partners LLC (the “Dragonfly Warrants”) to purchase up to 6,133,406 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants can be exercised for an aggregate price of $100 and have a 5 year term.
8. Stock Based Compensation Plans
Incentive Stock Plan
On August 17, 2007, the Company’s board of directors adopted and implemented the Company’s 2007 Incentive Stock Plan. Under the Incentive Stock Plan, the Company is authorized to issue 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, advisors or consultants.
Any Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee of the Company shall become exercisable over a period of no longer than 5 years, and no less than 20% of the shares covered thereby shall become exercisable annually. 25% of shares vest on the six month anniversary of the date of grant, the Initial Vesting Date, while the remaining options vest annually in 25% increments beginning on the first anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date. The options expire 10 years from the grant date.
The number of shares outstanding under the Company’s 2007 Incentive Stock Plan as of April 30, 2013 was 1,290,000.
Stock Compensation Plan
On August 17, 2007, the Company’s board of directors adopted and implemented the Company’s 2007 Stock Compensation Plan. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock which may be purchased or granted directly by Options, Stock Awards or Warrants under the Compensation Plan shall not exceed 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Awards granted to a participant of the Company shall become exercisable over a period of no longer than 5 years, and may vest as determined at the Company’s discretion at the time of grant.
As of April 30, 2013, 925,000 authorized shares under the Company’s 2007 Stock Compensation Plan had been granted.

Stock Compensation Plan | 4,000,000 | | 3,075,000 |
| 8,000,000 | | 5,755,000 |
The Company issues awards to employees, qualified consultants and directors that generally vest over time based solely on continued employment or service during the related vesting period and are exercisable over a five to ten year service period. Options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.
The fair value of each stock-based award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on comparable companies. The expected term of options granted subsequent to the adoption ASC 718 is derived using the simplified method as defined in the SEC’s SAB No. 107. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates in effect at the time of grant. The fair value of options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:
| | | |
| For the Year Ended April 30 |

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On December 11, 2009, the Company, received a letter (the “Notice”) from an attorney representing Timmer which alleged certain defaults with respect to that certain Secured Debenture issued by the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Woodland Holdings, in favor of Timmer, with a maturity date of February 23, 2012, that certain Purchase Money Note issued by Woodland Holdings in favor of Timmer with a maturity date of February 23, 2012, and certain related security agreements and collateral perfection agreements all of which were in connection with the Woodland Acquisition. Further, on December 14, 2009, the Company received documents from Timmer pursuant to which Timmer purported to appoint new directors and officers of each of the Woodland’s subsidiaries.
The Company believed that the events described in the Notice did not constitute defaults and, on December 14, 2009 the Company filed an action against Timmer, another member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and certain other parties in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan for fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and other matters and requesting, among other things, injunctive relief and damages.
On December 21, 2009, the Company presented its arguments in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. On December 22, 2009, the judge issued an order (the “Order”) which denied Timmer’s request for an injunction against the Company and granted the Company’s request for injunction against Timmer. Among other things, the injunction ordered: (1) The actions taken by Timmer on December 10, 2009 to gain corporate control over Woodland are deemed null and void; (2) Timmer shall return to CornerWorld all collateral and/or property belonging to the Company over which he has asserted control, including, but not limited to, the funds contained in bank accounts; and (3) Timmer shall be removed from active management of the Woodland employees, but shall be retained on the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company immediately moved to comply with the Order.
On December 31, 2009, Timmer filed a motion for reconsideration and the Company immediately responded.
On January 7, 2010, Timmer’s motion for reconsideration was denied.
The Company entered into mediation discussions with Mr. Timmer on June 21, 2010 and again on August 11, 2010. The parties did not agree to a settlement as a result of those mediation discussions.
On November 16, 2010, the judge in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan issued two orders (the “Second Orders”) which dismissed most of Timmer’s default claims while also simultaneously denying his request for relief from the preliminary injunction entered on December 22, 2009. The Second Orders also denied CornerWorld’s claim for summary judgment.

In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, subsequently, the Company and Timmer dismissed all legal proceedings against each other.
From time to time,the Company is involved in litigation matters relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. While the results of such claims and legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that there are claims or actions, pending or threatened against the Company, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Additionally, for the period from August 2008 through April 30, 2011, all of CornerWorld’s and Enversa’s employees were leased to Enversa through a certain Transition Services Agreement between CornerWorld, Enversa, and Internet University, Inc. CornerWorld and Enversa employees were paid under the federal employer identification number and are included in the employee benefit programs, such as life, health and disability insurance and 401(k) of a subsidiary of Internet University. The selling, general and administrative expenses on the income statement reflects a total of $2,531,345 of actual salaries for CornerWorld’s corporate and Enversa personnel during the years ended April 30, 2011, as well as an allocation of payroll taxes and employee benefits calculated at 15% of salary. Subsequent to April 30, 2011, all employees were paid under the Company’s federal employer identification number.
On August 27, 2008, Enversa entered into a $500,000 line of credit with Internet University which was originally intended to expire on February 23, 2009.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
As of April 30, 2013, the Company did not have sufficient Adjusted EBITDA to be in compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant for the marketing division and the Company did not have sufficient cash reserves to completely make the anticipated Paydown Event to the Senior Lenders. Accordingly, the Company stopped paying all Junior Creditors and received a notice of default from two junior creditors, Ned Timmer and IU Holdings, LP, shortly thereafter. .The Company immediately began negotiations with its Senior Lender.
In the second half of July 2013, the Company and its Senior Lender reached an agreement in principle whereby the Paydown Event and all requirements with respect to the Company’s marketing division, including the Paydown Event, would be removed via an amendment to the credit agreement with the Senior Lender. In addition, the Senior Lender waived the default related to the Paydown Event, modified the Company’s interest rate and adjusted the Company’s amortization schedule, among other things. The Company and it Senior Lender are currently in the process of memorializing the modifications to the Company’s credit agreement with the Senior Lender but the modifications must also be approved by the Company’s multiple subordinated creditors which has not yet taken place. Assuming we are successful in completing the proposed amendment with the Senior Lender, negotiating a waiver with our subordinated lenders and our operations remain consistent with their historical levels, we anticipate we will have adequate cash to support our existing operations over the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that we will consummate the proposed amendment with the Senior Lender or the Junior Lenders. Should we be unsuccessful in executing the proposed amendments, the Senior Lender could move to seize the underlying collateral which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On July 29, 2013, the Company and Mr. Beck agreed to amend Mr. Beck’s employment agreement such that Mr. Beck’s annual salary would be reduced to $250,000 per year for the period from May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014. After that point, Mr. Beck’s salary would return to $400,000 per annum. In addition, the amendment provided that Mr. Beck would not receive the annual warrant grant until July 28, 2014.
