PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
History and Organization
On May 2, 2013, Monster Arts, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its articles of incorporation to change its name from Monster Offers to Monster Arts, Inc. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Tropical PC Acquisition Corporation on February 23, 2007 ("Inception"). On December 11, 2007, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation changing its name from Tropical PC Acquisition Corporation to Monster Offers. On November 9, 2012 the Company executed a share exchange agreement with Ad Shark, Inc., a privately-held California corporation incorporated April 12, 2011. As a result of the share exchange agreement, Ad Shark, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Ad Shark, Inc. organizes advertising sales efforts by constructing media and advertising delivery systems for Smartphone and Tablet application developers including the delivery of mobile banners, mobile video, mobile text messaging, and mobile email advertising.
On March 4, 2013, the Company entered into a Master Purchase Agreement with Iconosys, Inc., a private California corporation whom shares a common officer with the Company, whereby the Company acquired a 10% interest in Iconosys, Inc. (Referenced in the Master Purchase Agreement in Note 15).
On August 8, 2013, the Company approved the execution of an asset purchase agreement with Iconosys, Inc., a private California corporation which shares an officer with the Company, for the rights to domain names, web site content and trademark assignments of Travel America Visitor Guide (“TAVG”) which is a division of Iconosys.
Our Business
The Company is innovative software developer for mobile devices, smart TV, and set top boxes running iOS, Android, Windows and other platforms. The company is also involved in the travel industry through its online and mobile platform for consumers and paying members of Travel America Visitor Guide (TAVG), (Further described in Note 9).
We utilize proprietary technology that we have developed, acquired, and/or licensed to deploy our products and services.
Our primary services include the development of Smartphone and tablet apps for clients and ourselves. We sell and arrange to sell ours and our clients apps developed thru the online and mobile marketplaces Google Play, iTunes, Amazon AppStore, and Barnes & Noble Online Marketplace. The sales of our innovative apps are subject to a commission fee charged by the online partners mentioned above. From time to time, we partner with a client at a reduced rate to earn potentially longer term residual revenues for ourselves.
On August 8, 2013, the Company approved the execution of an asset purchase agreement with Iconosys, Inc., a private California corporation which shares an officer with the Company, for the rights to domain names, web site content and trademark assignments of Travel America Visitor Guide (“TAVG”) which is a division of Iconosys. Travel America Visitor Guide, founded in 2011, has a multitude of paying business members on some form of revolving account where the paying members pay a monthly, semi-annual, or annual fee to be listed on the website www.travelamericavisitorguide.com/www.tavg.mobi. Travel America Visitor Guide also offers discounted and brokered printing and design consulting services to its clients / members. Travel America Visitor Guide's intent is to emulate the successful business model of AAA or Good Sam's Club, where by consumers become card members and are offered discounts from the member businesses.
Marketing Strategy
App Development Sales: Monster Arts utilizes lead generation techniques, search engine optimization, outbound cold calling, and word of mouth referrals to keep a constant flow of projects for its developers. Monster Arts also offers its app development services to the TAVG membership base.
App Retail Sales: Monster Arts generates sales from cross promoting its more popular apps with newer product releases, and encourages its existing downloader's to download other apps that Monster Arts has built through the use of Instant Messaging, SMS Marketing, Email Marketing, and In-App banner advertising. Monster Arts also focuses on media coverage for its apps and the company in order to increase the number of page views to its sites and to its app location on the online marketplaces.
Software Development
We utilize the services of outsourced contractors for the development of our software technologies. We also utilize the services of technology consultants to assist in the development of our strategic product development roadmap, and the ongoing management of all software development outsourced contractors. As the Company continues to grow, we may hire direct employees to fill various technology management, development, testing and quality control roles as needed.
Competition
The App Development, Mobile Marketing, and Travel Industry Directory Services industries are highly competitive. Management believes that the ability to provide innovative consumer and business solutions that fulfill unmet industry needs is a competitive advantage. A number of companies are active in specific aspects of our business. As an App Developer and mobile marketing services provider, Monster Arts would face competition from a growing list of other providers in our space
Government Regulation
We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting our business. Although the Company plans on obtaining all required federal and state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facilities, there can be no assurance that the Company's operation and profitability will not be subject to more restrictive regulation or increased taxation by federal, state, or local agencies. New laws and regulations may restrict specific Internet activities, and existing laws and regulations may be applied to Internet activities, either of which could increase our costs of doing business over the Internet and adversely affect the demand for our advertising services. In the United States, federal and state laws already apply or may be applied in the future to areas, including children's privacy, copyrights, taxation, user privacy, search engines, Internet tracking technologies, direct marketing, data security, pricing, sweepstakes, promotions, intellectual property ownership and infringement, trade secrets, export of encryption technology, acceptable content and quality of goods and services.
Employees
We currently have three full time employees, (i) Wayne Irving II, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary; (ii) Brandon M. Graham, our Chief Financial Officer; and (iii) Thomas Mead, our Director of Technology. These officers also perform many of the Company’s supervisory and administrative roles. We utilize additional independent contractors and temporary labor on a part-time/as needed basis.
Monster Arts Inc. Funding Requirements
We do not currently have sufficient capital to fully develop our business plan. Management anticipates the Company will be required to raise $1,000,000 to fully fund and execute its corporate strategies.
Patent, Trademark, License and Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations and Concessions
In May of 2013, Monster Arts filed for a provisionary patent titled "Hand Wave or Hand SignalOver Front-Facing Smart Device Camera to Trigger Software Commands. With exception to this filing and the filing a trademark application for the name “Monster Offers,” in 2012, we have no current plans for any registrations such as patents, other trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts. We will assess the need for any copyright, trademark or patent applications on an ongoing basis.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We incurred research and development costs of $11,473 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. If the Company is successful in raising capital, it plans to spend approximately $250,000 over the next year or two on research and development in order to complete their prototype EEG headset.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that impact issues specific to our business. In our industry, environmental laws are anticipated to apply directly to the owners and operators of companies. They do not apply to companies or individuals providing consulting services, unless they have been engaged to consult on environmental matters. We are not planning to provide environmental consulting services.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Company
Risks Relating To Our Company
1. WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND HAVE HISTORY OF LOSSES SINCE OUR INCEPTION. IF WE CANNOT REVERSE OUR LOSSES, WE WILL HAVE TO DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS.
In our auditor's report for fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, our auditors expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We anticipate incurring losses in the foreseeable future. We do not have an established source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully compete, operate profitably and/or raise additional capital through other means. If we are unable to reverse our losses, we will have to discontinue operations.
2. THE LIMITED PUBLIC TRADING MARKET MAY CAUSE VOLATILITY IN OUR STOCK PRICE.
The quotation of our common stock on the OTC-BB does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Our common stock is thus and will be subject to significant volatility. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
3. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AS THE FUTURE SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKETPLACE COULD REDUCE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of shares of our common stock in the public market covered under an effective registration statement, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.
4. WE DO NOT EXPECT TO GENERATE SIGNIFICANT CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. WE WILL NEED TO RAISE CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE BY SELLING MORE COMMON STOCK AND IF WE ARE ABLE TO DO SO, YOUR OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK MAY BE DILUTED.
Although we have started to generate revenues from customer activities, we do not expect to generate significant cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. Consequently, we will be required to raise additional capital by selling additional shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so but if we are successful in doing so, your ownership of the Company's common stock may be diluted which might depress the market price of our common stock.
5. OUR HISTORY OF LOSSES IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AND WE WILL NEED TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL FINANCING IN THE FUTURE.
We have a history of losses and expect to generate losses until such a time when we can become profitable in the distribution of our planned products. As of the date of this filing, we cannot provide an estimate of the amount of time it will take to become profitable.
We will be required to seek additional financing in the future to respond to increased expenses or shortfalls in anticipated revenues, accelerate product development, respond to competitive pressures, develop new or enhanced products, or take advantage of unanticipated acquisition opportunities. In order for us to carry out our intended business plan, management believes that we need to raise approximately $1,000,000 over a three year period. Management anticipates that the $1,000,000 will go towards regulatory compliance, product marketing, the development of new software programs and platforms and the development of our "Daily Deal" technology and programs. The Company anticipates obtaining the required funding through equity investment in the company. We cannot be certain we will be able to find such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when needed, we could be required to modify our business plan in accordance with the extent of available financing made available to our Company. If we obtain the anticipated amount of financing through the offering of our equity securities, this will result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders, and should be considered a serious risk of investment.
6. WE EXPECT OUR OPERATING EXPENSES TO INCREASE AND MAY AFFECT PROFIT MARGINS AND THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Upon obtaining additional capital, we expect to significantly increase our operating expenses to expand our marketing operations, and increase our level of capital expenditures to further develop and maintain our proprietary software systems. Such increases in operating expense levels and capital expenditures may adversely affect operating results and profit margins which may significantly affect the market value of common stock. There can be no assurance that we will, one day, achieve profitability or generate sufficient profits from operations in the future.
7. CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS MAY PREVENT US FROM GENERATING REVENUE.
Generally, consumer purchases of "Daily Deal" offers are discretionary and may be particularly affected by adverse trends in the general economy. Our ability to generate or sustain revenues is dependent on a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending. These include economic conditions and consumer perceptions of such conditions by consumers, employment, the rate of change in employment, the level of consumers' disposable income and income available for discretionary expenditure, business conditions, interest rates, consumer debt and asset values, availability of credit and levels of taxation for the economy as a whole and in regional and local markets where our Company operates.
The United States is currently recovering from an economic downturn, the extent and duration of which cannot be currently predicted, and includes record low levels of consumer confidence due, in part, to job losses. Due to these factors, consumers are not expected to purchase non-essential goods, including our products. If the current economic conditions do not improve, we may not achieve or be able to maintain profitability which may negatively affect the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
Also due to the economic downturn in the United States, credit and private financing is becoming difficult to obtain at reasonable rates, if at all. Until we achieve profitability at sufficient levels, if at all, we will be required to obtain loans and/or private financings to develop and sustain our operations. If we are unable to achieve such capital infusions on reasonable terms, if at all, our operations may be negatively affected.
8. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH OTHER DAILY DEAL COMPANIES, SOME OF WHOM HAVE GREATER RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCE THAN WE DO.
The Internet industry is dominated by large, well-financed firms. We do not have the resources to compete with larger providers of these similar services at this time. With the minimal resources we have available, we may experience great difficulties in building a customer base. Competition by existing and future competitors could result in our inability to secure any new customers. This competition from other entities with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business as we may never be able to successfully execute our business plan. Further, Monster Arts Inc. Offers cannot be assured that it will be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors or that the competitive pressure it may face will not force it to cease operations.
9. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO ENHANCE ITS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR DEVELOP OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
If we are unable to achieve profitability in the future, recruit sufficient personnel or raise money in the future, our ability to develop our services would be adversely affected. Our inability to develop our services or develop new services, in view of rapidly changing technology, changing customer demands and competitive pressures, would have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
10. RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES COULD RENDER OUR EXISTING PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES OBSOLETE.
The Internet and online commerce industries are characterized by rapid technological change, changing market conditions and customer demands, and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our existing web site and proprietary technology obsolete. Our future success will substantially depend on our ability to enhance our existing services, develop new services and proprietary technology and respond to technological advances in a timely and cost-effective manner. The development of other proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risk. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing and using new technologies or adapt our proprietary technology and systems to meet emerging industry standards and customer requirements. If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial, or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if our new products and electronic commerce services do not achieve market acceptance, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
11. INTERNET COMMERCE SECURITY THREATS COULD POSE A RISK TO OUR ONLINE SALES AND OVERALL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.
A significant barrier to online commerce is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. We and our partners rely on encryption and authentication technology to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of confidential information. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities; new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments will not result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms used by us and our partners to protect consumer's transaction data. If any such compromise of security were to occur, it could have a materially adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet and the privacy of users may also hinder the growth of online services generally, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. To the extent that our activities, our partners or third-party contractors involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. There can be no assurance that our security measures will not prevent security breaches or that failure to prevent such security breaches will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
12. NEW TECHNOLOGIES COULD BLOCK OR FILTER OUR "DAILY DEAL" ADS, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR SERVICES AND LEAD TO A LOSS OF CUSTOMERS.
Technologies may be developed that can block the display of our "Daily Deal" ads. We expect to derive a portion of our revenues from fees paid to us by advertisers in connection with the display of ads on web pages. Any ad-blocking technology effective against our ad placements could severely restrict the number of advertisements that we are able to place before consumers resulting in a reduction in the attractiveness of our services to advertisers. If advertisers determine that our services are not providing substantial value, we may suffer a loss of clients. As a result, ad-blocking technology could, in the future, substantially decrease the number of ads we place resulting in a decrease in our revenues.
13. RISK OF CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS; RELIANCE ON INTERNALLY DEVELOPED SYSTEMS; SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT RISKS.
A key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic on, and use of, our services across our websites and network infrastructure and systems. Accordingly, the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our software systems, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract and retain customers, as well as maintain adequate customer service levels. Our revenues depend on the number of visitors to our site, number of people who sign up for our services, and the on-going usage of our products. Any systems interruptions that result in the unavailability of our software systems or network infrastructure, or reduced order placements would reduce the volume of sign ups and the attractiveness of our product and service offerings. We may experience periodic systems interruptions from time to time. Any substantial increase in the volume of traffic on our software systems or network infrastructure will require us to expand and upgrade further our technology, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure. There can be no assurance that we will be able to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our web site or timely expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate such increases. We will use a combination of industry supplied software and internally developed software and systems for our search engine, distribution network, and substantially all aspects of transaction processing, including order management, cash and credit card processing, and accounting and financial systems. Any substantial disruptions or delays in any of our systems would have a materially adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
14. STORAGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CUSTOMERS COULD POSE A SECURITY THREAT.
Our policy is not to willfully disclose any individually identifiable information about any user to a third party without the user's consent. Despite this policy, however, if third persons were able to penetrate our network security or otherwise misappropriate our users' personal information or credit card information, we could be subject to liability. These could include claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims. They could also include claims for other misuses of personal information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. These claims could result in litigation. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and other states have been investigating certain Internet companies regarding their use of personal information. We could incur additional expenses if new regulations regarding the use of personal information are introduced or if they chose to investigate our privacy practices.
15. WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE TO CONTINUE OFFERING OUR "DAILY DEAL" ADVERTISING PARTNERS COMPETITIVE SERVICES OR WE MAY LOSE CLIENTS AND BE UNABLE TO COMPETE.
Our future success will depend on our ability to continue delivering our "Daily Deal" advertising partners competitive results-based Internet marketing services. In order to do so, we will need to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to adapt our services to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance of our services. Our failure to adapt to such changes would likely lead to a loss of clients or a substantial reduction in the fees we would be able to charge versus competitors who have more rapidly adopted improved technology. Any loss of clients or reduction of fees would adversely impact our revenue. In addition, the widespread adoption of new Internet technologies or other technological changes could require substantial expenditures by us to modify or adapt our services or infrastructure. If we are unable to pass all or part of these costs on to our clients, our margins and, therefore, profitability will be reduced.
16. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND SUITABLE EMPLOYEES.
The Company currently relies heavily upon the services and expertise of Wayne Irving II, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. In order to implement the aggressive business plan of the Company, management recognizes that additional programmers, graphic artists and clerical staff will be required.
No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to find suitable employees that can support the above needs of the Company or that these employees can be hired on terms favorable to the Company.
17. THERE EXISTS UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARDS TO OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
Our prospects for success may depend, in part, on our ability to obtain commercially valuable patents, trademarks and copyrights to protect our intellectual property, specifically our software programs. The degree of future protection for our technologies or potential products is uncertain. There are numerous costs, risks and uncertainties that the Company faces with respect to obtaining and maintaining patents and other proprietary rights. The Company may not be able to obtain meaningful patent protection for its future developments. To date, the Company does not have any pending patent or trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any agency with regard to the above-referenced intellectual property assets.
In connection with the trademarks, there can be no assurance that such trademarks will provide the Company with significant competitive advantages, or that challenges will not be instituted against the validity or enforceability of any trademarks sublicensed to the Company or, if instituted, that such challenges will not be successful. To date, there have been no interruptions in our business as the result of any claim of infringement. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not be adversely affected by the assertion of intellectual property rights belonging to others. The cost of litigation to uphold the validity of a trademark and prevent infringement can be very substantial and may prove to be beyond our financial means even if the Company could otherwise prevail in such litigation. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar designs or technologies, duplicate our designs and technologies or design around aspects of our technology, or that the designs and technologies will not be found to infringe on the patents, trademarks or other rights owned by third parties. The effects of any such assertions could include requiring the Company to alter existing trademarks or products, withdraw existing products, including the products delaying or preventing the introduction of products or forcing the Company to pay damages if the products have been introduced.
18. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION MAY BE NECESSARY AND AN UNFAVORABLE OUTCOME COULD HURT THE COMPANY.
We may become party to patent litigation or proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or at a foreign patent office to determine whether it can market its future products without infringing patent rights of others. Interference proceedings in the U.S. Patent Office or opposition proceedings in a foreign patent office may be necessary to establish which party was the first to design such intellectual property. The cost of any patent litigation or similar proceeding could be substantial and may absorb significant management time and effort. If an infringement suit against us is resolved unfavorably, we may be enjoined from manufacturing or selling certain of its products or services without a license from an adverse third party. We may not be able to obtain such a license on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.
19. WE MAY BE LIABLE FOR CONTENT IN THE ADVERTISEMENTS WE DELIVER FOR OUR CLIENTS RESULTING IN UNANTICIPATED LEGAL COSTS.
We may be liable to third parties for content in the advertising we deliver if the artwork, text or other content involved violates copyrights, trademarks or other third-party intellectual property rights or if the content is defamatory. Although substantially all of our contracts include both warranties from our advertisers that they have the right to use and license any copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property included in an advertisement and indemnities from our advertisers in the event of a breach of such warranties, a third party may still file a claim against us. Any claims by third parties against us could be time-consuming, could result in costly litigation and adverse judgments. Such expenses would increase our costs of doing business and reduce our net income per share. In addition, we may find it necessary to limit our exposure to such risks by accepting fewer or more restricted advertisements leading to loss of revenue.
20. BECAUSE SOME OF OUR SERVICES GENERALLY CAN BE CANCELLED BY THE CLIENT WITH LITTLE OR NO NOTICE OR PENALTY, THE TERMINATION OF ONE OR MORE PROGRAM COULD RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE DECLINE IN OUR REVENUES.
We expect to derive the majority of our revenues from "Daily Deal", marketing services. These services are provided to advertise clients services on a short-term basis. They may be canceled upon thirty (30) days or less notice. In addition, these arrangements to advertise for clients generally do not contain penalty provisions for early cancellation. The short term advertising agreements in general reflect the limited time lines, budgets and customer acquisition goals of specific advertising campaigns and are consistent with industry practice. The non-renewal, re-negotiation, cancellation or deferral of large contracts or a number of contracts that in the aggregate account for a significant amount of revenues, could cause an immediate and significant decline in our revenues and harm our business.
21. IF WE ENGAGE IN ACQUISITIONS, WE MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND DIFFICULTY ASSIMILATING THE OPERATIONS OR PERSONNEL OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES, WHICH COULD THREATEN OUR FUTURE GROWTH.
If we make any acquisitions, we could have difficulty assimilating the operations, technologies and products acquired or integrating or retaining personnel of acquired companies. In addition, acquisitions may involve entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience. The occurrence of any one or more of these factors could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition, pursuing acquisition opportunities could divert our management's attention from our ongoing business operations and result in decreased operating performance. Moreover, our profitability may suffer because of acquisition-related costs or amortization of acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Furthermore, we may have to incur debt or issue equity securities in future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities would dilute our existing stockholders.
22. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH RULES REQUIRING THE ADOPTION OF CERTAIN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, OUR STOCKHOLDERS HAVE LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our director(s) have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
23. COMPLIANCE WITH CHANGING REGULATION OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, AND OUR MANAGEMENT'S INEXPERIENCE WITH SUCH REGULATIONS WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES AND CREATES A RISK OF NON-COMPLIANCE.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the public markets and public reporting. Our management team will need to invest significant management time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities. Management's inexperience may cause us to fall out of compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, which could lead to enforcement action against us and a negative impact on our stock price.
Additional Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
24. THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE.
The market price for our stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:
· liquidity of the market for the shares;
· actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;
· changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
· conditions in the markets in which we compete;
· changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other "Daily Deal" companies;
· announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
· addition or departure of key personnel;
· intellectual property litigation;
· our dividend policy; and
· general economic conditions.
In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock.
25. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AS THE FUTURE SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKETPLACE COULD REDUCE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of shares of our common stock in the public market covered under an effective registration statement, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.
26. WE MAY, IN THE FUTURE, ISSUE ADDITIONAL COMMON SHARES, WHICH WOULD REDUCE INVESTORS' PERCENT OF OWNERSHIP AND MAY DILUTE OUR SHARE VALUE.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 730,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
27. OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE CONSIDERED A "PENNY STOCK," AND THEREBY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL SALE AND TRADING REGULATIONS THAT MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
a) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common shares and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
28. WE DO NOT FORESEE PAYING CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AND, AS A RESULT, OUR INVESTORS' SOLE SOURCE OF GAIN, IF ANY, WILL DEPEND ON CAPITAL APPRECIATION, IF ANY.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth. As a result, investors should not rely on an investment in our securities if they require the investment to produce dividend income. Capital appreciation, if any, of our shares may be investors' sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Moreover, investors may not be able to resell their shares of the Company at or above the price they paid for them.
29. UNLESS AN ACTIVE TRADING MARKET DEVELOPS FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
Although, we are a reporting company and our common shares are quoted on the OTCQB (owned and operated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.) and on the OTC MARKETS Exchange under the symbol "APPZ", the trading market for our common stock can vary significantly from day-to-day, and a more active trading market may never develop or, if it does develop, may not be maintained. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market will have a generally negative effect on the price of our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock or any attempted sale of such common stock may have the effect of lowering the market price and therefore your investment could be a partial or complete loss.
30. SINCE OUR COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED IT IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXTREME RISES OR DECLINES IN PRICE, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE PAID.
Since our common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
· the trading volume of our shares;
· the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our stock;
· changes in, or failure to achieve, financial estimates by securities analysts;
· new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors;
· actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
· conditions or trends in our business industries;
· announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic
· partnerships, joint ventures of capital commitments;
· additions or departures of key personnel;
· sales of our common stock; and
· general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded and particularly
microcap, companies.
You may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price you paid, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, securities class action litigation has often been initiated following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management's attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTCQB and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.
31. TRADING IN OUR COMMON STOCK ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE LIMITED THEREBY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO RESELL ANY SHARES YOU MAY OWN.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB (owned and operated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.). The OTCQB is not an exchange and, because trading of securities on the OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares of our common stock that you may own.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Stock Options

Going Concern
In our auditor's report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 & 2012, our auditors expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We anticipate incurring losses in the foreseeable future. We do not have an established source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully compete, operate profitably and/or raise additional capital through other means. If we are unable to reverse our losses, we will have to discontinue operations.
Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012
We generated $32,568 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $79,333 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $46,765.

All transactional services revenues are recognized on a gross basis in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 605-45, due to the fact that the Company is the primary obligor, and bears all credit risk to its customer, and publisher expenses that are directly related to a revenue-generating event are recorded as a component of commission paid-related party.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants On Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On January 20, 2014, the Company accepted the resignation of Patrick Rodgers, CPA, P.A. (“Rodgers”) from his engagement to be the independent certifying accountant for the Company.
Effective March 6, 2014, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") revoked the registration of Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA. due to Rogers’ violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing the financial statements and PCAOB rules and quality control standards with respect to Rogers’ clients; the Registrant was not one of the clients for which Rogers was sanctioned. You can find a copy of the order at http://pcaobus.org/Enforcement/Decisions/Documents/2014_Rodgers.pdf
Other than an explanatory paragraph included in Rodgers’ audit report for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 relating to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the audit report of Rodgers on the Company's financial statements for the last fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 through January 20, 2014, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company's 2012 fiscal year and through the date of this Current Report on Form 10-K there were no disagreements with Rodgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Rodgers, would have caused Rodgers to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, and (2) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On January 20, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of Terry L. Johnson, CPA, as the Company's independent accountant effective immediately to audit the Company’s financial statements and to perform reviews of interim financial statements. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 through January 20, 2014 neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Terry L. Johnson, CPA regarding (i) either the application of any accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction of the Company, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Terry L. Johnson, CPA on the Company's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with Rodgers or a reportable event with respect to Rodgers. The Registrant provided Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA with an exhibit 16.1 letter to sign but the firm refused to sign the letter.
The report of Terry L. Johnson, CPA on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than to state that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no disagreements between us and Terry L. Johnson, CPA, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Terry L. Johnson, CPA, would have caused Terry L. Johnson, CPA to make reference thereto in their reports on our audited financial statements.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

(“Iconosys”), which owned Ad Shark prior to Iconosys’ spinoff (the “Spinoff”) of its shareholdings in Ad Shark to its shareholders.

Licensing agreement with Iconosys
In 2011, Iconosys obtained a license of the Existing Monster Offers Tier 1 Zala Merchant license with the ability to promote and sign up Zala account holders and participate in a revenue sharing model with the Company. As consideration for this license, Iconosys issued 3,333 (post-split) of its unregistered restricted shares to the Company. Since Iconosys is not a publicly-traded corporation, these shares were valued at a fair value based upon a fair value of similar shares sold under a private placement memorandum by Iconosys at rate of $30 (post-split) per share, for a total of $100,000. The entire value of the shares was recognized as unearned revenues and will be recognized over one year, the term of the license. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $0 and 33,333 in license revenue. At December 31, 2012, management performed an impairment analysis on the Iconosys license asset and determined that impairment was necessary due to the fact that the 3,333 shares of Iconosys stock were not received by the Company. An impairment loss of $100,000 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Monster Arts Inc.
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Monster Arts Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated statements of operations, consolidated stockholders’ equity, and consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and from inception February 23, 2007 to December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I 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 was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit 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, I 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Monster Arts Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and from inception February 23, 2007 to December 31, 2013, are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a minimum cash balance available for payment of ongoing operating expenses, has experienced losses from operations since inception, and it does not have a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since inception (February 23, 2007) through December 31, 2013, the Company incurred an accumulated deficit during development stage of approximately $28,628,079. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations and its ability to raise additional capital as required.
Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company, and also plans to pursue acquisition opportunities of other revenue-generating companies that provide complementary capabilities to that of the Company. Amounts raised will be used for further development of the Company's products and services, to provide financing for marketing and promotion, to secure additional property and equipment, and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is devoting its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Reclassification
On April 9, 2012, the Company executed a 300 to 1 reverse stock split, which was retrospectively applied to all financial statements, including the comparative balance sheet as of December 31, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are no cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $17,097 and $4,370 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the period since inception on February 23, 2007 through the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has incurred advertising expenses of $52,998.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 605 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, fee revenue is recognized in the period that the Company's advertiser customer generates a sale or other agreed-upon action on the Company's affiliate marketing networks or as a result of the Company's other services, provided that no significant Company obligations remain, collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, and the fees are fixed or determinable. All transactional services revenues are recognized on a gross basis in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 605-45, due to the fact that the Company is the primary obligor, and bears all credit risk to its customer, and publisher expenses that are directly related to a revenue-generating event are recorded as a component of commission paid.
Earnings per Share
Historical net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of securities or other contracts to issue common stock that were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had multiple convertible debentures outstanding that if-converted would result in 78,369,390 new common shares being issued. The Company also has a court order settlement with Premier Venture Partners that will require them to issue an additional 58,668,039 shares of common stock.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at year end. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have $5,423, respectively, in accounts receivable and $1,250 charged to allowance for doubtful accounts.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which consist of computer equipment, which is 3 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for equipment betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income or expense. The Company will periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of equipment and website development costs or whether the remaining balance of equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the equipment in measuring their recoverability.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Website Development Costs
The Company recognizes the costs associated with developing a website in accordance with FASB ASC 350-50 “Website Development Costs”.Accordingly costs associated with the website consist primarily of website development costs paid to a third party. These capitalized costs are amortized based on their estimated useful life over two years upon the website becoming operational. Internal costs related to the development of website content will be charged to operations as incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The notes payable are also considered financial instruments whose carrying amounts approximate fair values.
Intangible assets
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (FASB) Codification Topic 350-10 (“ASC 350-10”), “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” to determine the method of amortization of its intangible assets. The Company’s intangible assets are capitalized at historical cost and are amortized over their useful lives. The Company amortizes its license of SSL5 intellectual property using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 years (see Note 8).
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:
| | December 31, 2013 | | December 31, 2012 |
Deferred Tax Assets – Non-current: | | | | | | | | |

No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2013 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal Income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
