Organization and Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Organization and Significant Accounting Policies	'
	1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
	Description of Business
	SurePure Investment Holding AG (“SPI”) was incorporated in Switzerland in 2007. From 2007 to December 12, 2012, SPI was the holding company of the SurePure Group (the “Group”), which included subsidiaries and other entities whose activities primarily benefit the Group. On December 12, 2012, SPI entered into an Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement with SurePure, Inc. (“SurePure US” or the “Company”) pursuant to which SurePure US acquired SPI in a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) and became the holding company for the Group, including SPI. Although SurePure US was the legal acquirer of SPI, SPI is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes and under this method, and SurePure US has retained SPI’s financial reporting history.
	Under the Share Exchange, each share of the capital stock of SPI was exchanged for one share of SurePure US common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and, in the case of one shareholder of SPI, one share of Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock”).
	As more fully described in Note 11 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on June 12, 2013 the Company completed the acquisition of SurePure Holdings South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (“SPHSA”). In the acquisition, SPHSA issued one share of its common stock in exchange for each ZAR 4,000 of SPHSA shareholder loans in the aggregate amount of ZAR 27,459,245. These newly issued 6,865 common shares and the previously issued 3,000 common shares were then exchanged for shares of Common Stock at the rate of 1,000 shares of Common Stock for each share of SPHSA common stock. As a result of this acquisition, SPHSA has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer treated as a variable interest entity.
	The Group has developed the technology for using shortwave ultraviolet light (“UV-C”) to purify turbid liquids such as wine, fruit juice and milk. Although initially designed to treat food-grade applications, it has successfully been applied to liquids such as bovine blood plasma, water, brines and sugar syrup solutions. The Group holds international patents for this technology. The Group has been engaged in raising capital, continuing research and development of its technologies and processes and developing markets for its products.
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	These consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The entities that were formerly accounted for as variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) are now accounted for as wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. As a development stage entity, the Company is devoting most of its efforts to establishing its business; therefore, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows present cumulative amounts since inception.
	The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are as follows:
	· SurePure Operations AG (“SPO”), which markets the products of the Group and earns its revenue by selling or otherwise distributing equipment utilizing the Group’s technology globally. SPO owns a patent for the Group’s technology in various countries;
	· SurePure Latin America Maqinas de Purificasao UVC Ltda. (“SPLAM”), which conducts no operations currently;
	· SurePure Participations AG (“SPP”), which was a minority stockholder of SPI and is part of the common holding structure of the Group. SPP has no operations and all of its expenses have been and will continue to be paid by SPI. Formerly a VIE, SPP became a subsidiary as a result of the Share Exchange on December 12, 2012; and
	· SurePure Holdings South Africa (Pty) Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SurePure Marketing South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (“SPMSA”), which holds the South African patent, manufacture the products of the Group and earn revenue from selling or otherwise distributing equipment utilizing the Group’s technology. Formerly VIE’s, these entities became subsidiaries as a result of their acquisition on June 12, 2013.
	The Group’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) and these consolidated financial statements are presented in USD or “$.”
	Use of Estimates
	Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	Income Taxes
	The Group accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by current enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not provide a future tax benefit.
	GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the consolidated financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion, the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and one that will likely be sustained under examination. There are no uncertain tax positions requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.
	Accounts Receivable
	The Group performs regular credit evaluations of customers to which it provides sales on credit terms, and adjusts credit limits based on the customer’s payment history and reassessments of their creditworthiness. The Group continuously monitors its collections and establishes a provision for estimated doubtful accounts, if necessary. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed to be necessary at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Property, Equipment and Related Depreciation
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire the asset and any expenditures that substantially increase the asset’s value or extend the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Expenditures for routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in operations.
	Depreciation is provided over the following estimated useful lives:
	Plant machinery		3 to 5 years
	Furniture and fixtures		3 to 5 years
	Motor vehicles		5 years
	Office and computer equipment		3 to 5 years
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets consist of patents in various countries around the world for the Company’s UV-C purification technology. The patents were initially recognized at their cost and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of twelve years beginning with the acquisition of the patents in 2008. The patents expire in October 2020.
	The Group evaluates the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances are identified by management that indicate that such carrying values may not be fully recoverable. The evaluation involves estimating the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the assets to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists. As a result of its evaluations, management determined that it was not necessary to recognize a loss on impairment of its intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. During the period from inception to December 31, 2013, impairment losses on intangible assets of $537,631 were recognized.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Financial instruments include accounts receivables, accounts payable and loan payable. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying values of the financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	Revenue
	Revenue is earned from sales and licensing of equipment that uses the Company’s patented technology and is recognized, net of returns and discounts, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met upon delivery of the product to the customer, which is also when the risk of ownership and title passes to the customer.
	Research and Development
	Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
	Equity-Based Compensation
	The Company measures compensation cost for all stock options granted based on fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the grant date. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The fair value of each share is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each stock option or stock grant expected to vest with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations.
	Foreign Currency Translations
	These consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Group’s reporting currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Group members have been translated into USD in accordance with GAAP. All assets and liability accounts on the consolidated balance sheets have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical rates when the capital transaction occurred. Income and expenses have been translated at the average exchange rates for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements are included in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (loss). Actual transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred.
	The functional currencies of the companies included in the Group are their respective local currencies. Accordingly, the Group is exposed to transaction gains and losses that result from changes in various foreign currency exchange rates.
	Applicable functional currencies are:
		SPI, SPO, and SPP	Swiss Francs – CHF
		SPLAM	Brazilian Real – BRL
		SPHSA and SPMSA	South African Rand – ZAR
	Exchange rates used for conversion of foreign items to USD at the end of each of 2013 and 2012 and the average exchange rates for those years were:
		December 31,		December 31,
		2013		2012
	CHF:
	Reporting date		1.123	1.0942
	Average for period		1.079	1.0667
	BRL:
	Reporting date		0.4232	0.488
	Average for period		0.4645	0.5133
	ZAR:
	Reporting date		0.0952	0.1178
	Average for period		0.104	0.1219
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques according to the degree of objectivity necessary.  The fair value hierarchy of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three broad levels of objectivity:
	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.  They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as required by GAAP:
Cash:  The carrying amount is the fair value because it is the basic financial instrument used to express fair value.
Accounts receivable and accounts payable:  The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term duration of those instruments.
Loans payable:  The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of Common Stock, such as options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into shares of Common Stock or could otherwise cause the issuance of shares of Common Stock that then would share in earnings (losses).  Such potential issuances of additional shares of Common Stock are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.  Except as disclosed in Notes 7 and 12 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has no securities or other contracts to issue shares of Common Stock that could cause any dilution of earnings.  In addition, when there is a loss, diluted loss per share is not computed because any potential additional common shares of Common Stock would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.

	5. Stockholders and Other Loans Payable
	Stockholder and other loans payable consisted of advances by individuals and companies to the Group.  Certain of the lenders were either stockholders or were related to stockholders.  None of these loans were supported by notes and none had a provision for interest or repayment.  The Company has imputed interest on these loans.  The rates of interest used to impute interest on these loans range from 4% per annum to 15% per annum during the periods in which these loans were outstanding and represent management’s best estimate of the interest rates that would be applicable to Company in a third-party marketplace.  These loans were converted into common shares of SPHSA which were then exchanged for shares of Common Stock in the acquisition of SPHSA that was completed on June 12, 2013, at which time interest on these loans was no longer required to be imputed.  Imputed interest on these loans was $105,925, $380,414 and $2,469,862 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from inception to December 31, 2013, respectively.  These amounts are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and are reflected as an increase in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit.
	In October 2012, the Company and three lenders whose balances were reflected in Other Loans Payable at December 31, 2012 revised their agreements orally and these agreements were later formalized in writing effective January 2013.  The Company agreed with each of these lenders that it would pay interest at 5% per annum on the outstanding balances retroactive to the time that the loans were made in 2011 and it would repay each of these lenders $105,000 in October 2012.  Interest on these loans was approximately $3,100, $13,800 and $27,700 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from inception to December 31, 2013, respectively.  On April 4, 2013, these lenders and the Company further agreed that the lenders would be granted the right to convert each $1.00 of principal and interest that was unpaid under their agreements into one share of Common Stock upon the effective date of the Company’s registration statement which the Company had filed to register the resale of certain shares of the Common Stock.  Pursuant to these agreements, these loans were converted into shares of Common Stock at the time that the registration statement was declared effective on May 16, 2013.
	On April 4, 2013, SPMSA borrowed ZAR 2 million (approximately $201,000) from a lender pursuant to a note.  The terms of the loan provide for interest of 2% per month on the outstanding balance which is payable together with the principal balance no later than December 31, 2013.  An officer and stockholder of the Company has deposited 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock with the lender as security for the repayment of the loan to SPMSA.  On September 26, 2013, the repayment date was extended to October 31, 2013.  On October 31, 2013, the repayment date was extended to November 30, 2013.  On November 21, 2013, the repayment date was further extended to March 31, 2014.  Interest on this loan was approximately $41,700 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period from inception to December 31, 2013, respectively.  As of December 31, 2013, the unpaid balance on this loan was $231,490 and is included in loans payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Concentrations of Credit Risk	'
	10. Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivables.  Cash is maintained in financial institutions in foreign countries that do not insure the balances in the accounts.  The credit risk for customer accounts is concentrated because accounts receivable consists of the balance due from one customer.  However, the customer’s account typically is collected within a short period of time and, based on its assessment of current conditions, management believes there is no risk of loss.  Management continuously monitors these conditions.

Pending Acquisition Of Sphsa [Abstract]	'
Acquisition of SPHSA	'
	11. Acquisition of SPHSA
	On August 16, 2012, SPI entered into an agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with SPHSA providing for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of SPHSA from its shareholders.  The Company has assumed the executory obligations of SPI under the Acquisition Agreement.
	Prior to its acquisition, SPHSA was accounted for as a subsidiary of SPI under variable interest accounting rules.  The shareholdings in SPHSA had remained largely unchanged since the formation of that company in 2005.  Since October 2007, SPHSA has also provided various management services for SPI and SPO.  In addition, our subsidiary SPO had loaned approximately $2,000,000 to SPHSA, all of which was due on demand.  There had been and continue to be various intercompany transactions relating to the sale and purchase of goods and services between SPI and SPHSA.  Accordingly, the boards of directors of both SPI and SPHSA believed it to be in the best interest of their respective companies to combine such that SPHSA would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPI and SPO would convert its loans and advances to SPHSA into equity, thereby improving the financial condition of SPHSA.
	Subject to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, on August 21, 2012, SPI made its offer, which initially was irrevocable for a period of 20 business days after the date of the offer to purchase from each of the shareholders of SPHSA all of their shares of SPHSA at a closing to be held September 19, 2012, which was the 21st business day after the date of the offer.  The shares of SPHSA subject to SPI’s offer to purchase included shares that reflected the value of shareholder loans outstanding at the time of the offer.  On September 21, 2012, SPI extended the period during which its offer remained open until November 26, 2012 to permit the satisfaction of conditions to the closing of the offer.  On November 30, 2012, SPI and SPHSA agreed to amend the Acquisition Agreement to provide that the offer would remain open until February 28, 2013, so as to permit the fulfillment of certain closing conditions.  On March 8, 2013, SPI extended the date that the offer would remain open to June 28, 2013. The Acquisition Agreement provided that SPI would settle the purchase price it is paying for the shares of SPHSA in shares of SPI in the ratios of (i) 1,000 common shares of SPI for each share of SPHSA and (ii) 1,000 common shares of SPI for each ZAR 4,000 in principal amount of loans owed by SPHSA to its shareholders.  The purchase price for the shares of SPHSA under the offer was ZAR 4,000 (approximately $500.00) per share of SPHSA.  The Acquisition Agreement provided that SPI would settle the purchase price it paid for the shares of SPHSA in shares of SPI in the ratio of (i) 1,000 common shares of SPI for each share of SPHSA and (ii) 1,000 common shares of SPI for each ZAR 4,000 in principal amount of loans owed by SPHSA to its shareholders.
	Acting under the terms of the Share Exchange, at the time of the Share Exchange SPI assigned its rights under the Acquisition Agreement to SurePure US, and SurePure US assumed the obligations of SPI to issue shares to the shareholders of SPHSA at such time, if any, that the pending acquisition of SPHSA is completed.
	On May 23, 2013, SPHSA received a final determination from the South African Reserve Bank that the transaction could proceed with certain conditions and controls designed to repatriate the funds of any sale of Company common stock by the South African shareholders.  On June 12, 2013, the acquisition was completed.  In the acquisition, SPHSA issued one common share in exchange for each ZAR 4,000 of SPHSA shareholder loans in the aggregate amount of ZAR 27,459,245 (approximately $2,775,000).  These newly issued 6,865 common shares of SPHSA and the previously issued 3,000 common shares of SPHSA were then exchanged at the rate of 1,000 shares of Common Stock for each SPHSA common share and a total of 9,864,811 shares of Common Stock was  issued.

2012 Stock Option Plan	'
	12. 2012 Stock Option Plan
	On December 11, 2012, the Company adopted the 2012 Stock Plan (“the Plan”).  Under the terms of the Plan, 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock have been reserved for future issuance.  The Plan authorizes the granting of non-qualified stock options to our directors and to any independent consultants.  The Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors, and may also be administered by  a committee appointed by the board of directors (the “Committee”).  The Committee may determine persons eligible for grants and the timing, type, amount, fair market value and other provisions of such grants.  The Committee will have authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, to construe the Plan and the option agreements granted pursuant to the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations in the judgment of the Committee necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.  The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any option agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to promote the best interests of the Company.  The Plan terminates on December 9, 2022.
	The Plan provides that the determination of the option price per share for any option rests in discretion of the Committee.  Options granted under the Plan must be granted within ten years from the date on which the Plan has been adopted.  No options granted under the Plan may be exercisable after ten years from the date of grant.  The Company’s board of directors may suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part or amend the Plan in such respects as the board may deem appropriate and in the best interest of the company.  No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, however, without the optionee's consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations granted under the Plan.
	On November 12, 2013, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 475,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Plan,each at an exercise price of $0.89 per share. The options vest over three years as follows:
	Options vested on November 12, 2013	190,000
	Options vesting on November 12, 2014	142,500
	Options vesting on November 12, 2015	142,500
		475,000
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options.  The principal assumptions utilized in valuing stock options include the expected stock price volatility (based on the most recent historical period beginning December 12, 2012); the expected option life; the expected dividend yield; and the risk-free rate (an estimate based upon the yields of Treasury constant maturities) equal to the expected life of the option.  The fair values for the options granted in 2013 were determined using the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions:
		For the years ended
		December 31,
		2013		2012
	Dividend yield	0	%	0	%
	Risk-free interest rates	2.8	%	N/A
	Expected volatility	72.68	%	N/A
	Expected term (in years)	10		N/A
	There was no reduction for estimated forfeitures.  Under this model and the foregoing assumptions, the options granted in 2013 were valued at $151,053.  Of this amount, $87,452, $15,900 and $47,701 is attributable to executives, employees and consultants, respectively.  These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:
						Weighted
						Average
				Weighted		Remaining
				Average		Contractual	Aggregate
		Number		Exercise		Life (In	Intrinsic
		of Shares		Price		Years)	Value
	Balances at December 31, 2012	-			-	-		-
	Options granted during 2013	475,000		$	0.89	-		-
	Options exercised during 2013	-			-	-		-

	Balances at December 31, 2013	475,000		$	0.89	9.88	$	4,750.00
	The aggregate intrinsic value for the options is calculated as the difference between the exercise prices of the underlying options and the quoted price of the Company’s Common Stock for the options that were in-the-money at December 31, 2013.

	13. Commitments, Contingencies and Tax Obligation
	Lease Commitments
	The Group leases two premises in South Africa under operating leases.  One location is an office facility and the other is a workshop.  The office facility lease was originally scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012 and has been extended in a short-term basis several times. The lease team terminated on February 28, 2014. The Company is leasing an office on a month-to-month basis.  The lease for the Group’s workshop facility originally expired on April 30, 2012 and was also extended on a short-term basis. The workshop is being leased on a month-to-month basis. In addition to the payments required under the preceding leases, payments are made for space rentals on an as-needed basis. The total rent expense was approximately $71,000, $76,000 and $848,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from August 24, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2013, respectively. Rent expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The future rent commitments under the above leases for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 is approximately $8,000.
	Payroll Commitments
	The Group’s employees in South Africa have employment contracts that provide for one month of notice before the employee can be terminated.  As of December 31, 2013, the total monthly salary commitment applicable to these employees, exclusive of the executives, was approximately $30,100.
	Payroll Tax Obligation
	SPMSA has received notification from the South African Revenue Service regarding unpaid payroll taxes of approximately $185,000.  SPMSA requested additional time to arrange a payment plan that is suitable to both parties and has commenced making monthly payments against this balance.  During the Company’s review of this matter in 2012, it was discovered that additional taxes amounting to approximately $62,000 were due.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the unpaid balance of this liability was approximately $81,000 and $187,000, respectively and is included in accounts payable and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Employment and Consulting Agreements
	The Company has entered into agreements to secure the services of two executives.  These agreements provide for annual compensation and require a termination notice period by the Group of three months.  The executives all are stockholders of the Company.
	The total compensation payable  to these executives and one former executive was approximately $990,000, $1,086,000 and $6,082,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from inception to December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The Company entered into agreements with unrelated third party consultants and institutions for consulting, research and professional services.  With the exception of one agreement that has a remaining term of three months as of December 31, 2013, these agreements can be terminated by either party with between two weeks and three months written notice or immediately if for cause.  The amounts due vary according to the nature of the service arrangement and the length of notice required for termination. The minimum amount due under these agreements is approximately $113,000 over the year ending December 31, 2014.

Going Concern	'
	15. Going Concern
	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of the Group as a going concern.  Due to the start-up nature of its business, the Group has generated recurring losses and expects to incur additional losses as it expands its photopurification technology and develops marketing, sales and financial plans.  As reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company’s total consolidated liabilities exceed total consolidated assets at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 by $1,352,572 and $4,075,374, respectively, and the Company has incurred cumulative consolidated operating losses since the date of inception.  To date, the Company’s cash flow requirements have been met with cash investments by its shareholders , certain third parties and to a considerably lesser extent, sales and interest income.
	The Company will require additional capital to continue its development and to achieve sufficient revenues to support its operations.  The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its ability to grow and maintain revenues and its ability to manage expenses and expected capital expenditures.  The Company will require additional financing either through borrowings or the sale of additional equity to support its operations.
	The Company’s access to additional financing, if any, will depend on a variety of factors over which the Company has little or no control. These factors include market conditions, the general unavailability of equity financing to the Company in light of its limited revenues, the actual financial and operational results of the Company on a consolidated basis, as well as investors’ perception of the Company’s short-term and long-term financial prospects.  If future financing is not available on acceptable terms, or on any other terms, the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern.
	Management is currently pursuing plans to address  the cash flow requirements of the Company for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014 and beyond. The Company is engaged in discussions with current and other potential investors, and the Company is also considering additional offerings of Common Stock during 2014.  In addition, the Company projects that increase in the commercialization of its technology may provide additional cash flow for operations. However, the Company did not enter into any commercial agreements during  2013 that provided materials amounts of revenue.
	The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Description of Business	'
	Description of Business
	SurePure Investment Holding AG (“SPI”) was incorporated in Switzerland in 2007. From 2007 to December 12, 2012, SPI was the holding company of the SurePure Group (the “Group”), which included subsidiaries and other entities whose activities primarily benefit the Group. On December 12, 2012, SPI entered into an Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement with SurePure, Inc. (“SurePure US” or the “Company”) pursuant to which SurePure US acquired SPI in a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) and became the holding company for the Group, including SPI. Although SurePure US was the legal acquirer of SPI, SPI is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes and under this method, and SurePure US has retained SPI’s financial reporting history.
	Under the Share Exchange, each share of the capital stock of SPI was exchanged for one share of SurePure US common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and, in the case of one shareholder of SPI, one share of Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock”).
	As more fully described in Note 11 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on June 12, 2013 the Company completed the acquisition of SurePure Holdings South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (“SPHSA”). In the acquisition, SPHSA issued one share of its common stock in exchange for each ZAR 4,000 of SPHSA shareholder loans in the aggregate amount of ZAR 27,459,245. These newly issued 6,865 common shares and the previously issued 3,000 common shares were then exchanged for shares of Common Stock at the rate of 1,000 shares of Common Stock for each share of SPHSA common stock. As a result of this acquisition, SPHSA has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer treated as a variable interest entity.
	The Group has developed the technology for using shortwave ultraviolet light (“UV-C”) to purify turbid liquids such as wine, fruit juice and milk. Although initially designed to treat food-grade applications, it has successfully been applied to liquids such as bovine blood plasma, water, brines and sugar syrup solutions. The Group holds international patents for this technology. The Group has been engaged in raising capital, continuing research and development of its technologies and processes and developing markets for its products.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	'
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	These consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The entities that were formerly accounted for as variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) are now accounted for as wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. As a development stage entity, the Company is devoting most of its efforts to establishing its business; therefore, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows present cumulative amounts since inception.
	The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are as follows:
	· SurePure Operations AG (“SPO”), which markets the products of the Group and earns its revenue by selling or otherwise distributing equipment utilizing the Group’s technology globally. SPO owns a patent for the Group’s technology in various countries;
	· SurePure Latin America Maqinas de Purificasao UVC Ltda. (“SPLAM”), which conducts no operations currently;
	· SurePure Participations AG (“SPP”), which was a minority stockholder of SPI and is part of the common holding structure of the Group. SPP has no operations and all of its expenses have been and will continue to be paid by SPI. Formerly a VIE, SPP became a subsidiary as a result of the Share Exchange on December 12, 2012; and
	· SurePure Holdings South Africa (Pty) Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SurePure Marketing South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (“SPMSA”), which holds the South African patent, manufacture the products of the Group and earn revenue from selling or otherwise distributing equipment utilizing the Group’s technology. Formerly VIE’s, these entities became subsidiaries as a result of their acquisition on June 12, 2013.
	The Group’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”) and these consolidated financial statements are presented in USD or “$.”
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Group accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by current enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not provide a future tax benefit.
	GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the consolidated financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion, the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and one that will likely be sustained under examination. There are no uncertain tax positions requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable
	The Group performs regular credit evaluations of customers to which it provides sales on credit terms, and adjusts credit limits based on the customer’s payment history and reassessments of their creditworthiness. The Group continuously monitors its collections and establishes a provision for estimated doubtful accounts, if necessary. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed to be necessary at December 31, 2013 and 2012
Property, Equipment and Related Depreciation	'
	Property, Equipment and Related Depreciation
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire the asset and any expenditures that substantially increase the asset’s value or extend the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Expenditures for routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in operations.
	Depreciation is provided over the following estimated useful lives:
	Plant machinery		3 to 5 years
	Furniture and fixtures		3 to 5 years
	Motor vehicles		5 years
	Office and computer equipment		3 to 5 years
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets consist of patents in various countries around the world for the Company’s UV-C purification technology. The patents were initially recognized at their cost and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of twelve years beginning with the acquisition of the patents in 2008. The patents expire in October 2020.
	The Group evaluates the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances are identified by management that indicate that such carrying values may not be fully recoverable. The evaluation involves estimating the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the assets to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists. As a result of its evaluations, management determined that it was not necessary to recognize a loss on impairment of its intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. During the period from inception to December 31, 2013, impairment losses on intangible assets of $537,631 were recognized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Financial instruments include accounts receivables, accounts payable and loan payable. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying values of the financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Revenue	'
	Revenue
	Revenue is earned from sales and licensing of equipment that uses the Company’s patented technology and is recognized, net of returns and discounts, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met upon delivery of the product to the customer, which is also when the risk of ownership and title passes to the customer.
Research and Development	'
	Research and Development
	Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Equity-Based Compensation	'
	Equity-Based Compensation
	The Company measures compensation cost for all stock options granted based on fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the grant date. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The fair value of each share is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each stock option or stock grant expected to vest with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations.
Foreign Currency Translations	'
	Foreign Currency Translations
	These consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Group’s reporting currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Group members have been translated into USD in accordance with GAAP. All assets and liability accounts on the consolidated balance sheets have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical rates when the capital transaction occurred. Income and expenses have been translated at the average exchange rates for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements are included in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (loss). Actual transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred.
	The functional currencies of the companies included in the Group are their respective local currencies. Accordingly, the Group is exposed to transaction gains and losses that result from changes in various foreign currency exchange rates.
	Applicable functional currencies are:
		SPI, SPO, and SPP	Swiss Francs – CHF
		SPLAM	Brazilian Real – BRL
		SPHSA and SPMSA	South African Rand – ZAR
	Exchange rates used for conversion of foreign items to USD at the end of each of 2013 and 2012 and the average exchange rates for those years were:

	Average for period		0.104	0.1219
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques according to the degree of objectivity necessary.  The fair value hierarchy of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three broad levels of objectivity:
	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.  They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs.
	The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as required by GAAP:
	Cash:  The carrying amount is the fair value because it is the basic financial instrument used to express fair value.
	Accounts receivable and accounts payable:  The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term duration of those instruments.
	Loans payable:  The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
Earnings (Loss) per Share	'
	Earnings (Loss) per Share
	Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of Common Stock, such as options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into shares of Common Stock or could otherwise cause the issuance of shares of Common Stock that then would share in earnings (losses).  Such potential issuances of additional shares of Common Stock are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.  Except as disclosed in Notes 7 and 12 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has no securities or other contracts to issue shares of Common Stock that could cause any dilution of earnings.  In addition, when there is a loss, diluted loss per share is not computed because any potential additional common shares of Common Stock would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.
