CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include those that address activities, developments or events that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly report, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the captions "Risk Factors" beginning on page 21, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on page 4, and elsewhere in this Quarterly report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
The disclosures set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012. Because of the nature of a relatively new and growing company, the reported results will not necessarily reflect the operating results that will be achieved in the future.

5BARz International, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization, Going Concern and Development Stage
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 14, 2008. The Company was originally named “Bio-Stuff” and was a designated shell corporation from inception to the date of acquisition of the 5BARz assets.
On December 29, 2010 the Company changed its name to 5BARz International, Inc. and on December 30, 2010, the Company acquired from CelLynx Group, Inc. the rights to certain intellectual property underlying the 5BARz products, a highly engineered wireless technology referred to as a “cellular network infrastructure device”. The 5BARz device captures cell signal and provides a smart amplification and resend of that cell signal giving the user improved cellular reception in their home, office or while mobile. On March 29, 2012, 5BARz International, Inc. acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group, Inc.
On November 6, 2011, the Company incorporated a subsidiary Company in Zurich, Switzerland called 5BARz AG which is a 94.4% held subsidiary at June 30, 2013. This entity has been granted the license for the marketing and distribution rights for 5BARz products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
These financial statements reflect the financial position for the Company and its subsidiary companies 5BARz AG, CelLynx Group Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary CelLynx Inc. as at June 30, 2013. Results of operations include those operations for subsidiaries acquired from the date of acquisition.
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 is a development stage company and has not commenced planned principal operations. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses for the period from November 14, 2008 (date of inception) through June 30, 2013 of $4,053,221. The Company has negative cash flows from operations since inception of $1,992,745 and has an accumulated deficit of $4,053,221 at June 30, 2013. The Company has made no revenue to date. The Company is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, and there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon adequate additional financing being raised to develop its sales and marketing program for the sales of 5BARz product and commence its planned operations.
The Company is in default on certain notes payable. Accordingly, any penalties and interest has been accrued as of June 30, 2013 (see Note 7).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Development stage
The Company is considered to be a development stage entity as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915. The Company has been a development stage entity since November 14, 2008 its inception. The Company has not generated any revenues to date.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 13, 2013 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 5BARz International Inc., and its 94.4% owned subsidiary, 5BARz AG, and it’s 60% owned subsidiary CelLynx Group, Inc. and that Company’s 100% owned subsidiary CelLynx, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include impairment analysis for long lived assets, income taxes, litigation and valuation of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible assets
Acquired patented and unpatented technology, licensing rights and trademarks are capitalized at their fair value. The legal costs, patent registration fees, and models and drawings required for filing patent applications are capitalized if they relate to commercially viable technologies. Commercially viable technologies are those technologies that are projected to generate future positive cash flows in the near term. Legal costs associated with applications that are not determined to be commercially viable are expensed as incurred. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. Legal fees from the costs incurred in successful defense to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patents are capitalized.
Capitalized costs for patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining twenty-year legal life of each patent after the costs have been incurred. Once each patent or trademark is issued, capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed 20 years and 10 years, respectively. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. The licensing right is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years. Based on its review, the Company concluded that as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 there was no impairment of its intangible assets.
Goodwill
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arise. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Based on its review, the Company concluded that as of June 30, 2013 there was no impairment of its goodwill.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies have been translated into US dollars using the temporal method. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary 5BARz AG, is its local currency (Swiss Franc – CHF). Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets have been translated at the historical rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Expenses have been translated at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
| • | Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| • | Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data. |
The assets or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
| | Consolidated Balance Sheet | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1) | | Quoted Prices for Similar Assets or Liabilities in Active Markets (Level 2) | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |
Derivative Liabilities: | | | | | | | | |

December 31, 2012 | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | June 30, 2013 |
Beginning balance | | $ | — | |
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | | | 59,427 | |
Ending balance | | $ | 59,427 | |
The derivative conversion feature liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are provided below:
| | June 30, 2013 |
Stock price | | $ | 0.17 | |
Volatility | | | 221 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 0.04 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
Expected life | | | 0.002 years | |
Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivate liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s consultants and which are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as, volatility.
As of June 30, 2013 there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Net loss per share
The Company reports loss per share in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”, which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding does not include reciprocal shareholdings, held by the Company’s subsidiary, CelLynx Group, Inc. which is reflected as a reduction in capital in excess of par value on the Company’s balance sheet.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company reports stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, warrants to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, which require that each such equity instrument be recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options or warrants. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or options granted
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements at June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months then ended to conform to the June 30, 2013 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of June 30, 2013 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2013 or 2012, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.

Note 3 – Acquisition of CelLynx Group, Inc.
On January 7, 2011 the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with two founding shareholders of CelLynx Group, Inc. to acquire in aggregate 63,412,638 shares of the capital stock of CelLynx Group, Inc. for total proceeds of $634,126. At that date the Company had paid $170,000 as a deposit made under that agreement. On March 29, 2012 the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement and settlement agreement with each of the two founding shareholders of CelLynx Group, Inc. whereby in addition to the $170,000 paid, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 63,412,638 shares of CelLynx Group, Inc. and mutual releases were signed between the parties releasing each from any further obligation.
On March 29, 2012, the Company acquired a further interest in CelLynx Group, Inc. by conversion of $73,500 of convertible debt in CelLynx Group, Inc for the issuance of 350,000,000 shares in the capital stock of CelLynx Group, Inc. As a result, in combination with the shares acquired from existing shareholders referred to above, the registrant acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group, Inc. and has accounted for that acquisition as a consolidated subsidiary of the registrant effective March 29, 2012.

On May 17, 2013 the Company established the 2013 stock incentive plan for the Company. On that date 4,000,000 stock options were issued to officers of the Company to acquire common stock at a price of $0.10 per share. The Company reports stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, warrants to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The Company amortizes the fair value of employee stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, which require that each such equity instrument be recorded at its fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to estimate the fair value of the warrants or options granted. At May 17, 2013, the Company measured the stock options issued at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are provided below:
| | May 17, 2013 |
Stock price | | $ | 0.097 | |
Volatility | | | 225 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 0.04 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
Expected life | | | 3.0 years | |
In addition to the stock options issued pursuant to the 2013 stock option plan as provided above, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares (valued at $160,000) to be provided to the CTO of the Company to be vested over a period which is the sooner of (i) 12 months, or (ii) the successful completion of the beta test unit as specified in working with the Company’s collaborative partner, a multi-national wireless operator.
At May 17, 2013, the fair value of the options were determined to be $367,925 based upon the assumption provided above. The option valuations are being amortized over vesting terms ranging from 1-3 years. The stock commitment is being amortized over a one year vesting term. For the period ended June 30, 2013, $49,662 was amortized to expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Plan of Operations
Item 1. Business
5BARz International Inc. (“5BARz” or the “Company”) is in the business of the development, sales and marketing of a line of cellular network infrastructure devices for use in the small office, home and mobile market places. This next generation cellular network extender, branded as 5BARz™ incorporates a patented technology to create a highly engineered, single-piece, plug ‘n play unit that strengthens weak cellular signals to deliver higher quality signals for voice, data and video reception on cell phones, and other cellular devices.
The Company’s initial product, the Road Warrior, won the prestigious 2010 innovation of the year award at CES (the largest consumer electronics show in the world) for achievements in product design and engineering. TheRoad Warrior, has passed FCC Certification, and has been produced in limited quantities to date by a contract manufacturer in the Philippines.
The market opportunity for the 5BARz technology represents some 6.4 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide serviced by 900 cellular network operators. These cellular network operators represent the Company’s primary point of entry to the Global marketplace.
The 5BARz business opportunity to bring this state of the art technology to market represents a significant step forward in the deployment of micro-cell technology, referred to as a ‘cellular network infrastructure device” in the industry. A step that management believes will significantly improve the functionality of cellular networks by managing cellular signal within the vicinity of the user. This technology facilitates cellular usage in areas where structures, create “cellular shadows” or weak spots within metropolitan areas, and highly congested areas such as freeways, and also serves to amplify cellular signal as users move away from cellular towers in urban areas. The market potential of the technology is far reaching.
Company History
5BARz was incorporated on November 14, 2008 and is a Nevada Corporation. On December 30, 2010 the Company acquired the “Master Global Marketing and Distribution Agreement” for the marketing and distribution of 5BARz products throughout the world. In addition to the acquisition of the marketing and distribution rights, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of a 60% interest in the underlying intellectual property comprising the 5BARz products, and holds a security interest over the balance of those assets.The amount that was paid for this interest was $1.8 million which was paid with common shares of 5BARz.
On March 27, 2012, 5BARz acquired a 60% controlling interest through the acquisition of common shares of CelLynx Group Inc. CelLynx Group, Inc originally developed the 5BARz technology. This represents a significant step forward in bringing the originators of the technology together and under common control with the Company, to facilitate a more synergistic and clearly defined development platform for the globalization of the 5BARz technology.
On November 10, 2011, the Company incorporated a subsidiary Company in Zurich Switzerland called 5BARz AG. At June 30, 2012 the Company held a 94.4% equity interest in that entity. 5BARz AG has been granted the exclusive rights by way of a sub-license for the Sales and Marketing of the 5BARz products in the region, commonly referred to as the “DACH” in Europe, comprised of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Prior to December 30, 2010 the Registrant was a designated shell Company pursuant to Section 12B-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, and operated under the name Bio-Stuff Inc. The business of Bio-Stuff was comprised of the development of bio-degradable products. That business was abandoned by the Company in 2010 when the 5BARz business opportunity was acquired.

The Market Opportunity
The market opportunity for the 5BARz technology represents more than 6.4 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide and is growing as a result of the following factors;
• | Dead zones, weak signals, and dropped calls are the biggest problems in the industry. Now, by adding internet and video, the quality issue is increasing exponentially. |
• | 76% of cellular subscribers use their mobile phone as the primary phone |
• | More consumers are using mobile phones for web browsing, up and down- loading photos, videos and music |
• | More mobile phones are operating at higher frequencies which have less ability to penetrate buildings |
• | Weak signals make internet applications inaccessible and slow and increase the drain on cell phone batteries. |
• | Forty percent of all mobile phone users report inadequate service in their homes or office and we estimate that 60% of the 4.8 billion mobile phone users worldwide consider continuous connectivity to be very important. |
Consumer demand for quality in the cell phone user experience is becoming an increasingly important factor. The 5BARz technology meets this need. 5BARz is currently developing relationships with Cellular network operators internationally to integrate the 5BARz product into cellular networks globally.
Why Poor Signals Exist
A variety of factors may cause dropped calls and dead zones, including congestion, radio signal interference, tower hand-off, and lack of coverage. Despite continued infrastructure investment by operators, and antenna technology improvements by base station providers and mobile phone makers, these problems will continue for the foreseeable future. This is because many of the contributing factors can't be controlled by the operators and manufacturers. To understand how innovative 5BARz products are in improving phone signals, it's first important to understand the causes of poor signal quality.
Congestion
In 1999, sales of mobile phones surpassed combined sales of personal computers and automobiles. By 2010, mobile phones had replaced land-line phones in 30% of U.S. households. Smart phones, led by iPhones and Android phones, have become indispensible personal assistants. Laptop computer sales outnumber desktop computer sales, and most laptops are equipped with cellular data chipsets or USB modems. Apple's iPad has sparked the connected tablet market too. Vending machines, automobiles, mobile sensors, and many other devices include "machine to machine" cellular data modules. As a result, the number of cellular voice and data devices will soon exceed the number of people on Earth.
If sheer numbers weren't enough, new uses for mobile devices are causing even faster growth in bandwidth usage. Obvious uses include video entertainment, videoconferencing, downloaded and streaming music, MMS, email, and application downloads. Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and many other social networking applications put further load on operator networks. Also, surprising sources of traffic have emerged, such as deliberate "miscalls". A miscall is when one subscriber calls another, but hangs up before the receiving party answers. Since operators don't charge for these uncompleted calls, subscribers are using miscalls as a free way to communicate. In India, orders for milk are made this way. In Syria, five miscalls in a row signals the recipient to "go online" to the Internet and chat. In Bangladesh, it's estimated that up to 70% of traffic at peak times is due to miscalls. This practice isn't limited to countries with low per-capita income, and yet it places a high load on operator networks.
6
There are sources of congestion based on location and time, too. Transportation clusters like airports, major highway intersections, bridges, and toll road gates all bring many people together at peak times. Also, because of home land-line replacement, many residential neighborhoods have many mobile phones in simultaneous use in mornings and evenings. Lastly, local population growth and immigration can result in too many phones for existing infrastructure. Due to long planning times, investment requirements, local government permits, and construction time, it's difficult for infrastructure to keep up with the pace of change in many developing areas, especially in growth countries.
Radio Signal Interference
Interference comes from both obvious and subtle causes. Certain materials aren't transparent to radio signals, especially durable materials used in buildings, large structures, and even automobiles. As a result there are radio shadows in which a mobile phone can't sense the signal from a base station. In addition, radio signals from adjacent channels or reflected signals can interfere with each other due to wave cancellation effects. In some cases these forms of interference primarily attenuate the signal (make it weaker). However, interference can also add noise, so that the ratio of signal to noise becomes too low for the mobile phone and the base station to understand each other.
Tower Hand-Off
Mobile phone networks are called "cellular" networks because they are made up of overlapping areas of coverage that are provided by base stations in fixed locations. As a mobile subscriber travels by automobile or train, he will eventually reach the limit of a base station's coverage. At that point, his mobile phone will "hand off" to a base station for the next coverage area. If signal quality is poor due to interference, or if the new base station is congested with too many mobile phones, the subscriber's connection may be lost.
Lack of Coverage
Some rural or developing areas don't have enough people or population density for operators to justify the cost of installing base stations except at wide intervals. In these areas the signal strength from the base station or the mobile phone may be too low to create or maintain a connection. This results in "dead zones" or dropped calls.
Solutions to Poor Signal Quality
Operators know that dead zones, dropped calls, and poor voice quality are big problems, and that re-dialing while driving can be unsafe. Operators also are concerned about subscribers' ability to make emergency calls. They understand that people rely on mobile phones for business and connecting with family. As mobile phones replace landlines, operators are especially aware that mobile signal quality is critical. Operators also see that wireless data is increasingly important for personal and business use.
To help, operators work with phone and base station manufacturers to improve antenna performance. They invest in new base stations in growth areas. They invest in technologies that enable more connections per base station. Operators have even provided refunds for dropped calls.
However, many factors causing poor signal quality can't be controlled by operators. Therefore products have emerged to help, provided by operators or companies who sell to either operators or subscribers.
7
Femtocells
Operators can provide femtocells to subscribers with poor signal quality at home. Usually the subscriber pays for hardware, installation, or a monthly fee. Femtocells are carrier grade, and are like small base stations that communicate with operators by using the home Internet connection as a "backhaul". They often can't be moved after installation, must be installed by a skilled technician in order to work properly and to avoid causing network problems. Many femtocells provide only a voice connection, not data. Lastly, femtocells usually only work with phones from one operator, so families with phones from multiple operators may have to request multiple femtocells.
Repeaters
Repeaters are usually carrier-grade equipment and are programmed for a specific operator. They extend cellular networks into buildings and small offices. As with femtocells, installation is complex and if not done properly they can cause network problems. Unlike femtocells, repeaters do not use the local Internet connections, but rather receive and re-transmit the signals between base stations and mobile phones.
Boosters
Boosters are usually sold online and through retail. They vary widely in amplification power, quality of amplification, and power balance. For example, these products amplify signals at 1, 3, 5, or even 10 watts all the time. Using power over 1 watt increases the probability that a booster will interfere with surrounding mobile devices. Also, it would be more energy efficient to adapt amplification power as needed, rather than to simply use the same wattage constantly. Many boosters don't support balanced power in both directions between base station and mobile phone. This may result in only solving the signal quality problem in one direction. Since communication is bi-directional, this doesn't actually solve the problem. Varying quality of amplification also introduces noise, which can interfere with surrounding devices.
A New Class of Solution
5BARz has evaluated the causes of poor signal quality, the needs of both operators and subscribers, and the solutions in the market. Femtocells, repeaters, and boosters either don't solve all parts of the problem, or aren't optimal due to cost or other drawbacks. Using expertise from a team of engineers who designed sophisticated base station amplifiers for operators, 5BARz has developed a new class of carrier-grade technology. This is a hybrid of repeaters and boosters, and is intended for automotive, home, and office use. 5BARz has tested these products in the lab, in the real world, and with operators, and also won the Innovation of the Year award at the 2010 CES conference. These products advance the state of the art to provide the following advantages:
Low Power Use
5BARz products only amplify when required. The automotive products use less than 1/2 watt, while the home product uses less than 1 watt. This not only saves energy, but also minimizes interference with other wireless devices and the network itself. In fact, new rules being proposed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission are expected to mandate low power standards such as 5BARz now provides.
Simple Setup
5BARz products don't require a technician to run wires, carefully determine proper location, or optimize orientation. No use of home Internet connection is required, and there are no switches or settings.
Balanced Amplification
Received and sent signals need balanced assistance in order for both directions of a communication channel to be improved. 5BARz products are not onlysmart about adapting amplification levels, but also about balancing amplification for incoming signals from the base station, and return signals from the mobile phone.
8
Signal Stability
5BARz has done extensive design, testing, and re-design to avoid a number of problems experienced by the antenna design of alternatives. For example, booster products can experience oscillations when people, animals, or vehicles move nearby. These oscillations can weaken the booster effect or cause interference with other wireless devices. Many booster products achieve size similar to 5BARz' products by putting antennas close together in the same product package, but don't optimize radio wave interactions between those antennas. This weakens the boosters' effectiveness, and is one reason why other manufacturers compensate by using too much wattage, in turn wasting power and increasing the probability of interfering with other radio frequency devices and the network.

MARKETING STRATEGY – 2013
The Company has embarked upon a multi channel marketing strategy with significant emphasis in Latin America as a direct result of the very favorable factors and the stage of development of the cellular markets in South and Central America and Mexico, more fully addressed herein.
During 2011 and 2012, that Company has had several NDA’s signed by major wireless operators in that region and they are currently in the process of analyzing the 5BARz products in their labs. It is the objective of management that the 5barz products and technology be integrated into the network infrastructure of selected cellular network operators in the region. The intent is to work with cellular network operators in integrating the fixed cellular network extenders, designed for use in the home or office markets. However the mobile devices, which will not be carrier specific will be marketed through more conventional distribution channels, such as the recent purchase order announced in 2011 with a customer in Mexico for 16,000 units, $3.2 million USD. In addition, the mobile units will be integrated into the marketplace through integration of the products with Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM’s) with automobile manufacturers, computer manufacturers, mobile home manufacturers etc.
The Company has been expanding its employee/consultant base in Latin America and USA due to significant product interest. Further the Company has set a structure for the development of the German speaking market place in Europe, through a subsidiary operation 5BARz AG in Zurich Switzerland.
The LATAM Market
The Company has analyzed the fundamentals of the mobile phone market in the LATAM countries and has determined that to be a key point for market penetration for the 5BARz products for the following reasons;
First, the mobile phone market has just gone through a very strong decade of growth in Latin America, with mobile subscriptions having overtaken fixed lines as the preferred method of communication. As a result Latin America's mobile telephone industry has a high degree of market penetration. Mobile subscriptions totaled 88.2% of the region's population, compared to 55.2% in Asia Pacific, 90.4% in North America and 50.6% in the Middle East and Africa. Having recently invested heavily in subscription development, the cellular network operators are now focusing upon the maintenance of their substantial customer base, and the 5BARz technology can contribute substantially to achieving that customer satisfaction.
The mobile telephone industry in Latin America has benefited from generally opening up to competition. This provides a very fertile ground for the introduction of a technology such as 5BARz to secure customer retention through quality of service.
The inherent geographical difficulties in laying fixed line infrastructure have encouraged a move to mobiles, but in addition, that geography, the Andean and Rainforest regions and expanses of rural areas again benefit from the 5BARz technology whereby weak cellular signal is amplified within the vicinity of the user.
11
Further the LATAM countries are experiencing a renewed era of strong growth, reflecting reviving economic growth and improving income levels. This again is a favorable factor for the introduction of our products to meet the growing demands of consumers.
In addition, the launch of 3G and mobile broadband services has increased demand for mobile subscriptions. Mobile broadband is particularly desirable in areas with no or limited access to cable internet services. Moving to mobiles offers consumers the benefits of on-the-move communications and advantageous introductory deals. Greater access to communications also helps to narrow regional divides. All of these factors are enhanced by the 5BARz experience.
In fact internet usage is expanding since 2010, with broadband internet subscriptions generally growing by higher rates than mobile subscriptions
Initial 3G market expansion is likely to be greater in the region's wealthier markets, such as Argentina, Chile and Mexico, and these have been specifically targeted by our Company with very favorable results.

Formation of Subsidiary Company, 5BARz AG
On November 10, 2011, 5BARz International Inc. commenced the organization under the laws of Switzerland, in the Canton of Zurich, a wholly owned subsidiary called 5BAR AG. In so doing the registrant acquired 5,100,000 shares, of the issued and outstanding stock of the newly incorporated Company. Aggregate proceeds paid for the shares were CHF 51,000 representing the fully paid price of CHF 0.01 per share. 5BARz AG simultaneously had approved and issued to an escrow agent 4,900,000 fully paid shares, at a price of CHF 0.01 per share for aggregate proceeds of CHF 49,000.

The three months ended June 30, 2013 reflects a net loss of $686,729, representing a decrease in the loss of $545,488 compared to the corresponding three month period loss of $1,232,218 for the period ended June 30, 2012. Operating expenses have declined during the three month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding period ended June 30, 2012, with that decline due in part to a rationalization of expenses in the Cellynx Companies, comprised of reduced staffing costs in the amount of $19,500 per month, and a reduction of interest expense on debts in the amount of $13,000. Further, in 5BARz International Inc., the Company reduced its consulting fees in the current period by approximately $100,000 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, with the largest part comprised of expenses related to the engagement of the Company’s advisory board in the corresponding period in 2012.

The Company has incurred losses from inception, November 14, 2008 to June 30, 2013 in the aggregate amount of $4,053,221. On or about December 30, 2010 the Company changed from a designated shell Corporation to an operating business with the acquisition of the assets comprising the 5BARz business opportunity. The loss from operations of that business for the period January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 was $3,999,991, after giving effect to the loss as a shell Company of $53,230 comprised of general and administrative expenses.
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
The company will require additional capital to meet its’ long term operating requirements. The Company expects to continue to raise additional capital through a multi faceted strategy to include the further sale of equity securities, debt, and factoring facilities as the Company’s sales progress. In addition in November 2011 the Company engaged BDC Investment AG, from Zurich, Switzerland to raise equity capital for the Company through the sale of up to 49% of the Company’s subsidiary, 5BArz AG, common stock. 5BARz AG was incorporated in Zurich Switzerland and engaged in the marketing and distribution of the 5BARz products in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. The financial results provided above also reflect the results of operations of Cellynx Group, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary Cellynx, Inc. ( a California Corporation) since the date of acquisition March 30, 2012. That acquisition was completed to provide a synergy between 5BARz, which was formerly engaged in the commercialization of the 5BARz technology and Cellynx, the original developer of the 5BARz technology.
Our net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $1,173,246 compared to a net loss of $1,346,384 for the corresponding period for the prior year. The loss from operations was $1,208,870 representing a decrease of $192,626 over the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. This reduction of expenses was comprised of a reduction in consulting fees arising from a rationalization of ongoing costs in Cellynx Group, Inc. after acquisition and a reduction in consulting fees in 5BARz International, Inc IT should also be noted that Research and development costs have increased by $104,000 representing consulting fees associated with the further development of the Company’s technology.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $983,406 compared to $1,174,950 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The differential in these costs are accounted for almost entirely by a reduction of consulting fees.
Our net loss during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $1,173,246 or $0.0102 per share compared to a loss from operations of $1,346,384 or $0.0128 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 114,802,447 for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to 104,795,294 for six month period ended June 30, 2012, after giving retroactive effect to the 18 for 1 forward stock split completed on November 29, 2010 and the subsequent cancellation of 87,800,000 shares on December 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at June 30, 2013
As at June 30, 2013, the reporting issuer’s current assets were $125,816 and current liabilities were $3,830,708, which results in a working capital deficit of $3,704,892. As at June 30, 2013, current liabilities were comprised in the most part of liabilities that were incurred by CelLynx Group, Inc. in the aggregate amount of $2,738,110 of which $1,802,202 are liabilities incurred in the early stages of development of CelLynx, prior to the acquisition of the Company by 5BARz. The parent Company, 5BARz International Inc., has a working capital deficit of $967,439.
As at June 30, 2013, the Company’s total assets were $4,656,746 comprised of intellectual property in the amount of $3,387,406 and goodwill arising on the acquisition of CelLynx Group, Inc. in the amount of $1,140,246. The intellectual property represents the patent applications and trademark registrations and license related to the 5BARz technology by the combined entity. In addition the Company has deposits and prepaid expenses of $69,424 in Switzerland related to their office and operations in 5BARz AG.
As at June 30, 2013, the Company’s total liabilities were $3,831,180 comprised of current liabilities as described above. The increase in liabilities as at June 30, 2013 from year ended December 31, 2012 of $320,045 was the result of an increase in notes payable of $179,629, and the balance due in the most part to accrued but unpaid consulting fees incurred by the Company.
Stockholders’ equity decreased from an equity at December 31, 2012 of $1,091,387 to an equity balance of $825,566 at June 30, 2013. This decrease of $265,821 is attributable in the most part to equity sales of common stock during the period of $831,530 being offset by a loss during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 of $1,173,246.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, net cash flows used in operating activities was $621,799 consisting primarily of cash used for general and administrative expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, net cash flows used in investing activities was nil.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The Company has financed operations primarily from the issuance of equity. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, net cash flows provided from financing activities was $666,011 comprised of proceeds from the sale of common stock in the amount of $646,750 and the repayment of convertible notes in the amount of $91,583 and repayment of amounts due to related parties of $19,378.
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through further issuances of securities, debt and from proceeds generated by sales, or through the leverage of these payments.
15
Plan of Operation and Funding
The Company has recently engaged the services of an investment banking group and is working with private investors to secure the financing necessary to commercialize the 5BARz business opportunity. Existing working capital, further sales of equity securities and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt and an increase in liabilities due from individuals and businesses that work with the Company. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) development and marketing of our product; and (ii) working capital. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.
Material Commitments
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has entered into a material commitment to CelLynx Group, Inc. to make available under the terms of a line of credit agreement $2.2 million dollars. This is a subsidiary Company, and this funding will be paid when proceeds come available. The commitment to fund and debts provided under the line of credit agreement mature October 5, 2013.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Going Concern
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in its report relating to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, which states that we have incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception, and expect to incur additional losses in the future and have a substantial accumulated deficit. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to expand operations and generate additional revenue and our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have prepared our financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business

Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of June 30, 2013 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2013 or 2012, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Intangible assets
Acquired patented and unpatented technology, licensing rights and trademarks are capitalized at their acquisition cost or fair value. The legal costs, patent registration fees, and models and drawings required for filing patent applications are capitalized if they relate to commercially viable technologies. Commercially viable technologies are those technologies that are projected to generate future positive cash flows in the near term. Legal costs associated with applications that are not determined to be commercially viable are expensed as incurred. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. Legal fees from the costs incurred in successful defense to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patents are capitalized.
Capitalized costs for patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining twenty-year legal life of each patent after the costs have been incurred. Once each patent or trademark is issued, capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed 20 years and 10 years, respectively. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. The licensing right is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years
Goodwill
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arise. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies have been translated into US dollars using the temporal method. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary 5BARz AG, is its local currency (Swiss Franc – CHF). Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets have been translated at the historical rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Expenses have been translated at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.
17
Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
Accounting for Derivatives
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not have substantial operations at this time so they are not susceptible to these market risks. If, however, they begin to generate substantial revenue, their operations will be materially impacted by interest rates and market prices.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls also is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of certain events, and there can no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, these are only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with United State’s generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, Management concluded the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than consequential.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013, and this assessment identified the following material weaknesses in the company’s internal control over financial reporting:
• | A system of internal controls (including policies and procedures) has neither been designed nor implemented. |
• | A formal, internal accounting system has not been implemented. |
• | Segregation of duties in the handling of cash, cash receipts, and cash disbursements is not formalized. |
Therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company issued the 125,000 shares but was unable to meet the payment schedule as provided in the settlement agreement. On March 8, 2013 as a result of the default, La Jolla Cove was awarded a judgment in the amount of $300,000 plus accrued interest at a rate of 9% from the date of the settlement agreement plus 125,000 shares which have been issued. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has recorded $300,000 plus accrued interest aggregating $306,584. On May 22, 2013 the Company made an initial repayment in the amount of $10,000 on this liability.
On March 22, 2013 a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau against 5BARz International Inc, Daniel Bland and James Vandeberg, by Asher Enterprises, Inc. claiming repayment of three Promissory notes in the principal amount of $81,000, penalties and interest.Asher Enterprises, Inc. vs. 5BARz International Inc., Daniel Bland and James Vandeberg 13-003472(County of Nassau). The claims allege that damages in the amount of the greater of; (i) 200% x $81,000, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest in the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, plus default interest; or (ii) the “parity value” of the “default amount” paid in shares as defined in the terms of the agreements. The Company and other named defendants have filed an appearance and intend to defend against the law suit. On June 30, 2013, the other named defendants were dismissed as defendants in the above referenced action.

The Company’s subsidiary CelLynx Group, Inc. has received a Cease Trading Order from the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) alleging that the Company is in violation of the British Colombia reporting requirements. The BCSC has assumed that since two the Company's Directors were domiciled in BC that the company is controlled out of BC and therefore subject to its reporting requirements. The Company denies that premise and is appealing the issuance of the CTO. On December 7, 2011 a partial revocation of the cease trade order was issued by the BCSC to permit a dealer to sell shares. At June 30, 2013, the Company’s sole Director is not domiciled in BC and the Company has contacted the BCSC for a full revocation order.
In addition to the above, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Need For Additional Financing
The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take advantage of current and planned business opportunities. Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete upon transactions contemplated, the Company may not have enough capital to fully develop the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. As additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be limited.
Ability to continue as a going concern
The Company has incurred net losses of 4,053,221 for the period from inception November 14, 2008, to June 30, 2013. The Company has earned no revenues to date. Consequently the Company’s future is dependent upon their ability to obtain financing and to execute upon their business plan and to create future profitable operations for the business. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. In the event that the Company cannot raise further debt or equity capital, or achieve profitable operations, the Company may have to liquidate their business interests and investors may lose their investment.
Lack of profitable operating history
The Company faces all of the risks of a new business and the special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, and involvement in a new business opportunity. The Company must be regarded as a new or "start-up" venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject, and consequently has a high risk or failure.
We may be subject to significant foreign currency exchange controls in certain countries in which we operate
Certain foreign economies have experienced shortages in foreign currency reserves and their respective governments have adopted restrictions on the ability to transfer funds out of the country and convert local currencies into U.S. dollars. This may increase our costs and limit our ability to convert local currency into U.S. dollars and transfer funds out of certain countries. Any shortages or restrictions may impede our ability to convert these currencies into U.S. dollars and to transfer funds, including for the payment of dividends or interest or principal on our outstanding debt. In the event that any of our subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to us due to currency restrictions, we are responsible for any resulting shortfall.
21
Our foreign operations subject us to risks that could negatively affect our business
Our business can be exposed to risks inherent in foreign operations. These risks, which can vary substantially by market, include political instability, corruption, social and ethnic unrest, changes in economic conditions (including wage and commodity inflation, consumer spending and unemployment levels), the regulatory environment, tax rates and laws and consumer preferences as well as changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment in other countries.
In addition, the value of our foreign assets is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect reported earnings. There can be no assurance as to the future effect of any such changes on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Dependence upon a sole director and limited management and consultants
The Company currently has only one individuals serving as its officer and director, and few employees and consultants. The Company will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities to implement its business plan, and secure additional personnel and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to fully meet the needs of the business of the Company results in a delay in progress toward implementing its business plan.
We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case investors' shareholdings may be diluted
Since our inception, we have relied on sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current operations. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, investors' percentage interests in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of current investors' stock.
Regulation of Penny Stocks
The Company's securities are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker- dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to the Company's securities.
22
Our common stock is not listed on a national exchange and as a public market develops in the future, it may be limited and highly volatile, which may generally affect any future price of our common stock
Our common stock currently is listed only in the over-the-counter market on the OTCBB, which is a reporting service and not a securities exchange. We cannot assure investors that in the future our common stock would ever qualify for inclusion on any of the NASDAQ markets for our common stock, The American Stock Exchange or any other national exchange or that more than a limited market will ever develop for our common stock. The lack of an orderly market for our common stock may negatively impact the volume of trading and market price for our common stock.
Any future prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the following:
| • | the depth and liquidity of the markets for our common stock; |
| • | investor perception of 5BARz International Inc. and the industry in which we participate; |
| • | general economic and market conditions; |
| • | statements or changes in opinions, ratings or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the market in which we do business or relating to us specifically, as has occurred in the past; |
| • | quarterly variations in our results of operations; |
| • | general market conditions or market conditions specific to technology industries; and |
| • | domestic and international macroeconomic factors. |
In addition, the stock market has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. As a result of the factors identified above, a stockholder (due to personal circumstances) may be required to sell his shares of our common stock at a time when our stock price is depressed due to random fluctuations, possibly based on factors beyond our control.
Impracticability of Exhaustive Investigation
The Company's limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of its chosen business opportunity before the Company commits its capital or other resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable.
Other Regulation
The Company may be subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the Company.
Failure to Perform
The Company may be unable to comply with the payment terms of certain agreements providing the Company with the exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights to 5BARz product. In the event that the Company defaults on such agreements, the Company may be unable to maintain operations as a going concern.
23
Reliance on Third parties
The Company has entered into certain agreements related to the exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights. In the event that the production Company is unable or unwilling for any reason to supply product under the terms of such agreement, the Company may not be able distribute product or may have business interrupted as they secure alternative production facilities.
Competitive Technologies
The Companies technology relates to a market that is highly competitive and a much sought after solution by cellular networks. The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. The Company is subject to technological obsolescence should other technologies be developed which are superior to the Companies technology.
