NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
We are engaged in the business of providing digital media and marketing services for the real estate industry. We currently generate revenue from advertising, real estate broker commissions and referral fees.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state RealBiz Media Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company” or “we,” “us” or “our”) financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending October 31, 2014.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. The Company recognizes accounts receivable for amounts uncollected from the credit card service provider at the end of the accounting period. The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.
Property and Equipment
All expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset benefits the Company for a period of more than one year. Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after being placed in service. The estimated useful life of computer equipment is3 years. When equipment is retired, sold or impaired, the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings. The Company incurred depreciation expense of $1,761 and $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. As of January 31, 2014, the Company did not impair any long-lived assets

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Website Development Costs
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
| 1. | Significant underperformance to historical or projected future operating results; |
| 2. | Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and |
| 3. | Significant negative industry or economic trends. |
When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flow, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the amount book value exceeds fair value. The Company measures fair value based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The Company did not consider it necessary to record an impairment charge on its intangible assets during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.
Intellectual properties that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $344,337 and $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Convertible Debt Instruments
The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result inmanagement’s best estimate of fair value.
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short- term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company provides its marketing and promotional services to agents or brokers via a web-based portal that allows for credit card payments. Customers may pay a monthly recurring fee or an annual fee. Some customers additionally pay a one-time set up fee. Monthly recurring fees are recognized in the month the service is rendered. Collection of one-time set up fees and annual services fees give rise to recognized monthly revenue in the then-current month as well as deferred revenue liabilities representing the collected fee for services yet to be delivered.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes costs attributable to services sold and delivered. These costs include such items as credit card fees, sales commission to business partners, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are included in selling and promotions expense in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Advertising expense for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $25,880 and $21,153, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company computes share based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is typically the applicable local currency. The translation from the respective foreigncurrencies to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.
Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. We recognized net foreign exchange gain of $7,512 and a loss of $2,791 for three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the accumulated comprehensive gain was $205,529 and $1,466, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is not presented because it is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include the following:
| | January 31, 2014 | |
Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding | | | 94,009,762 | |
Warrants to purchase common stock issued, outstanding and exercisable | | | 8,467,682 | |
Stock options issued, outstanding and exercisable | | | 1,000 | |
Shares on convertible promissory notes | | | 500,000 | |
| | | 102,978,444 | |
Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are related to the real estate industry and its prospects for success are tied indirectly to interest rates and the general housing and business climates in the United States.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.
NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred net losses of $1,451,978 and $278,637 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively. At January 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,578,619, and an accumulated deficit of $11,950,233. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of common stock and or through the issuance of debt instruments. Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.
Note 4: Property and Equipment
During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company recorded the purchase of $2,058 of computer equipment which is being depreciated using the straight line method over3 year period. The Company has recorded $1,761 and $-0- of depreciation expense for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The depreciable equipment has a weighted average remaining useful life of2.3 years. There was no asset impairment recorded for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. As of January 31, 2014, $42,149 of previously purchased equipment has not be placed in service.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with theattached consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto, and our consolidated audited financial statements and related notes for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2013found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Where possible, we have tried to identify these forward looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intends,” or similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to important factors and risks including, but not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements made in this section of our report are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally relate to and are based upon our current plans, expectations, assumptions and projections about future events. Our management currently believes that the various plans, expectations, and assumptions reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable. Nevertheless, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual future results may be materially different from the plans, objectives or expectations, or our assumptions and projections underlying our present plans, objectives and expectations, which are expressed in this section.
In light of the foregoing, prospective investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements included in this filing may ultimately prove to be inaccurate—even materially inaccurate. Because of the significant uncertainties inherent in such forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by RealBiz Media Group, Inc. or any other person that our objectives, plans, expectations or projections that are contained in this filing will be achieved in any specified time frame, if ever. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. The risks discussed in the Item 1A of this filing should be considered in evaluating our prospects and future performance.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, accrued liabilities, and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2014 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of January 31, 2014, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

Results of Operations
Three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to three months ended January 31, 2013.
Revenues
Our total revenues decreased 10% to $246,054 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $271,995 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, a decrease of $25,941. This is due to the loss of a broker with significant monthly revenues as well as photographer inactivity during the holiday season.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenues decreased 1% to $21,990 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $22,205 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, a decrease of $215. This is due to a decrease in the commission revenue share portion of the multiple listing service contracts expiring and not renewed.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses, include salaries and benefits, selling and promotion, general and administrative expenses, increased 220% to $1,682,684 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $525,636 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $1,157,048. This increase was substantially due to an increase in consulting fees incurred in raising capital of $670,297, an increase in the amortization of intangible assets of $344,337 and to a lesser extent an increase in expenses related to investor relations of $128,358, travel and entertainment of $71,115, selling and promotion of $31,663, miscellaneous expense of $29,847, legal and professional fees of $19,921, insurance of $17,742 and audit and accounting fees of $16,526.This was partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits of $168,121 and to a lesser extent a decrease in expenses related to dues and subscriptions of $3,992 and telephone expense of $645.
Other Income (Expenses)
Exchange gains increased 369% to $7,512 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to exchange losses of $2,791 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $10,303 due primarily to the fluctuation between the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. This was partially offset by the increase in interest expense 100% to $870 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $870 due primarily to the amortization of the interest expense on a promissory note.
Net Loss
We had a net loss of $1,451,978 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, compared to net loss of $278,637 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $1,173,341. The increase in net loss from 2013 to 2014 was substantially due to an increase in consulting fees incurred in raising capital of $670,297, an increase in the amortization of intangible assets of $344,337 and to a lesser extent an increase in investor relations of $128,358.
Assets and Employees; Research and Development
We do not currently anticipate purchasing any equipment or other assets in the near term, however, as we expand operations, we will need additional equipment and employees to create and market our products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources; Anticipated Financing Needs
At January 31, 2014, the Company had $166,327 cash on-hand, a decrease of $1,138,047 from $1,304,374 at the end of fiscal 2013. The decrease in cash was due primarily to operating expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,189,781 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, an increase of $792,146 from $397,635 used during the three months ended January 31, 2013. This increase was mainly due to an increase in net loss, amortization and depreciation, stock based compensation off set by decrease in due to affiliates.
We have financed our operations since inception primarily through proceeds from equity financings and revenue derived from operations. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, we raised $240,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants and the exercise of warrants. Our continued operations will primarily depend on our ability to raise additional capital from various sources including equity and debt financings, as well as our revenue derived from operations. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs or will be on favorable terms. Based on our current plans, we believe that our cash provided from the above sources will be sufficient to enable us to meet our planned operating needs for at least the next 12 months.
We have based our estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our shares or debt and other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of January 31, 2014.
Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which should enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended January 31, 2014 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended January 31, 2014 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. 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, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any material litigation and are not aware of any threatened litigation that would have a material effect on our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on February 13, 2014.
