Notes to Financial Statements
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization
Kiwibox.Com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics, Inc. On November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. On December 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Kiwibox.com, Inc.
On August 16, 2007 the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Kiwibox Media, Inc.
The Company, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media Inc. were separate legal entities until December 31, 2009, with Kiwibox Media, Inc. being a wholly owned subsidiary. On December 31, 2009, the two subsidiaries, Magnitude, Inc. and Kiwibox Media, Inc. merged into the Company.
On September 30, 2011, Kiwibox.com acquired the German based social network Kwick! Community GmbH & Co. KG (“Kwick”), a wholly-owned subsidiary.
On September 24,2013, Kwick Community GmbH & Co. KG signed an equity purchase agreement to acquire Interscholz Internet Services GmbH and Co. KG, a German limited liability company, and all the equity of its general partner, Interscholz Beteiligungs GmbH (see Note 18).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company accounts for cash and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012 include the accounts of Kiwibox.com, Inc. and its subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG. The activities of the Company’s subsidiary KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG. Any significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In 2012, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill or Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments in ASU 2011-08, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The Company has assessed the qualitative factors in all periods since adoption (see Note 16).

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Goodwill and Intangible Assets (continued)
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles- Goodwill or Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Living Tangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 simplifies the guidance for testing the decline in the realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by allowing an organization the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is "more likely than not" that the asset is impaired. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 3-10 years, or lease term for leasehold improvements, if for a shorter period. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during each period presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiary operating in a non-hyperinflationary economy are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until either sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation by the Company of its investment in the foreign entity. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss) was $87,261 and $(13,441) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Accumulated gain or (loss) on foreign currency translation adjustment was $(122,788) through September 30, 2013.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $946 and $54,621 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $2,173 and $10,847 for 2012, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASC 820, a framework was established for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company accounted for certain convertible debentures issued in the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as derivative liabilities required to be bifurcated from the host contract in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares (see Note 12).
Evaluation of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.

Kiwibox.Com, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued |
Securities Issued for Services
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the fair value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of stock issuance or option/grant is used. The Company has determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
Reclassification of certain securities under ASC 815-15
Pursuant to ASC 815-15, “Contracts in Entity’s own Equity”, if a company has more than one contract subject to this Issue, and partial reclassification is required, there may be different methods that could be used to determine which contracts, or portions of contracts, should be reclassified. The Company's method for reclassification of such contracts is reclassification of contracts with the latest maturity date first.
Capitalization of Software /Website development costs
The Company capitalizes outside-contracted development work in accordance with the guidelines published under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”. Under ASC 350-50, costs incurred during the planning stage are expensed, while costs relating to software used to operate a web site or for developing initial graphics should be accounted for under ASC 350-50, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, unless a plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally. Under ASC 350-50, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage should be capitalized. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems should also be capitalized, excluding training costs.
Fees incurred for web site hosting, which involve the payment of a specified, periodic fee to an Internet service provider in return for hosting the web site on its server(s) connected to the Internet, are expensed over the period of benefit, and included in cost of sales in the accompanying financial statements.
A total of $0 and $58,139 was capitalized for web-site development work during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived from advertising on the Kiwibox.Com website. Most contracts require the Company to deliver the customer impressions, click-throughs or new customers, or some combination thereof. Accordingly, advertising revenue is estimated and recognized for the period in which customer impressions, click through or new customers are delivered. Licensing or hosting revenue consists of an annual contract with clients to provide web-site hosting and assistance.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Such common stock equivalents totaled 195,560,992 common shares at September 30, 2013, comprised of 39,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock purchase warrants, 5,200,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 729,537 shares exercisable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares, and 150,131,455 shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible debt. Such debt and the related accrued interest, convertible at the option of four debt holders at a price of 50% of the average closing price for the preceding 10 days, totals $11,339,842 which would yield approximately 6.4 billion shares if fully converted at September 30, 2013, however, the respective notes, all of which were issued to these investors, carry a stipulation whereby the number of all shares issued pursuant to a conversion, may in the aggregate not exceed a number that would increase the total share holdings beneficially owned by such investor to a level above 9.99%. At the end of the year, this clause limits any conversion to the aforementioned number of shares. All of the aforementioned conversions or exercises, as the case may be, are at the option of the holders.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Our revenues during the foreseeable future are insufficient to finance our business and we are entirely dependent on the willingness of existing investors to continue supporting the Company with working capital loans and equity investments, and our ability to find new investors should the financial support from existing investors prove to be insufficient. If we were unable to obtain a steady flow of new debt or equity-based working capital we would be forced to cease operations. In their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, our auditors had expressed an opinion that, as a result of the losses incurred, there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to continue seeking equity and debt capital until cash flow from operations cover funding needs.

12. DERIVATIVE CONVERSION FEATURES
On July 27, 2010, the Company issued two Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes (“Class A Notes”), one to Cambridge Services, Inc., in the principal amount of $683,996, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since June 26, 2009, and one to Discover Advisory Company, in the principal amount of $1,160,984, consolidating the series of loans (and related accrued interest) made to the Company since September 19, 2008 and including advances through September 30, 2010. Each of these promissory notes are due on demand, accrue interest at the rate of 10%, per annum, are convertible (including accrued interest) at the option of each lender into Common Stock of the Company at 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001 (the "Conversion Price"). Both promissory notes contain conversion caps, limiting conversions under these notes to a maximum beneficial ownership position of Company common stock to 9.99% for each lender. Each of these notes contains Company covenants, requiring the lenders’ prior written consent in order for the Company to merge, issue any common or preferred stock or any convertible debt instruments, declare a stock split or dividends, increase any compensation to its officers or directors by more than five (5%) during any calendar year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 no debt was converted. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 Cambridge Services advanced $330,000 and $745,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 Kreuzfeld LTD advanced $60,000.
The Company renegotiated certain outstanding promissory notes with its four major creditors, Discover Advisory Company of the Bahamas *(“DAC”), Kreuzfeld Ltd. of Switzerland (“Kreuzfeld”), Cambridge Services, Inc. of Panama (“CSI”) and Vermoegensverwaltungs-Gesellschaft Zurich LTD of Switzerland (“VGZ”). As of August 1, 2012, the Company authorized the issue of a new series of corporate note, the Class AA Senior Secured Convertible Revolving Promissory Notes, dated as of August 1, 2012 (the New Note(s)”) and issued New Notes: (1) to DAC, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated July 27, 2010, in the original principal amount of $1,080,984, now cancelled, which has an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $3,629,836 as of December 31,2012 and $3,870,803 as of September 30, 2013; (2) to Kreuzfeld, with a maximum credit facility of $5,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated September 16, 2011, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, which has an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $3,911,338 at December 31,2012 and $4,240,361 as of September 30, 2013; (3) to CSI, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated August 1, 2011, in the original principal amount of $1,303,996, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $1,412,142 as of December 31,2012 and $2,292,860 as of September 30, 2013, and; (4) to VGZ, with a maximum credit facility of $2,000,000 which replaced the Company’s outstanding Class A Senior Convertible Revolving Promissory Note, dated September 30, 2010, in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, now cancelled, with an outstanding balance due (including accrued interest) of $877,963 as of December 31,2013 and $935,702 as of September 30, 2013. All of the New Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10%, are convertible into common shares at the conversion rate equal to 50% of the averaged ten closing prices for the Company's Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date but in no event less than $0.001, and are due on demand.. Pursuant to an Equity and Stock Pledge Agreement, also negotiated and executed as of August 1, 2012, the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness of the New Notes is secured by all of the limited partnership interests of the Pledgor’s wholly-owned German subsidiary, KWICK! Community GmbH & Co. KG, a private German limited partnership (“KG”), and all of its shares of the sole general partner of KG, KWICK! Community Beteiligungs GmbH.
On February 28, 2012 the Company signed a convertible note with Michael Pisani. This is a 1 year note that is convertible at $0.025 per share in the amount of $50,000. In the event that any portion of any outstanding Company promissory note, preferred share, warrant or stock option held of record by a non-affiliate of the Company is converted, exercised or exchanged for common shares of the Company at a conversion price or conversion rate less than $0.025 per one (1) common share anytime any part of the outstanding principal amount of this note is outstanding, the conversion rate of this note shall automatically be adjusted to such lower conversion rate. The Company evaluated this conversion contingency under the guidance at ASC 815-40-15 and determined that this conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host contract and measured at fair value. The Company valued this conversion feature utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model and a probability analysis with regard to the reset provision of the conversion price. The Company determined the initial value to be $55,241, with $50,000 recorded as a debt discount and the remainder as interest expense-derivative conversion features. The discount was being amortized over the life of the note. A total of $8,333 in amortization expense was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, $-0- of this debt plus accrued interest was still outstanding.

12. DERIVATIVE CONVERSION FEATURES (continued)
The Company accounted for the conversion features underlying these convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contract in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares. The Company determined the value of the derivate conversion features of these debentures issued to these holders during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 under these terms at the relevant commitment dates to be $1,724,218 utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model. The change in fair value of the liability for the conversion feature resulted in income of $3,831,776 for the nine months ended September 30,2013, which is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying financial statements. The fair value of these derivative conversion features was determined to be $11,690,121 at September 30, 2013.
In addition, another demand note issued in 2008 and held by Michael Pisani in the amount of $40,000 was restructured to provide for a conversion option. The note was modified to be convertible into stock and five year warrants (exercisable at $0.05) at a conversion rate of $0.025 per share and per warrant. This debt modification resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $40,000 and a corresponding recognition of a beneficial conversion feature underlying the new note. In March 2013, the two notes due to Pisani were further restructured to provide for a structured repayment schedule, beginning with a payment of $35,000 in April 2013 and $14,000 per month thereafter until all principal, accrued interest and certain legal costs are fully paid. If the Company defaults on any of the required payments, the terms of the notes would revert back to the terms prior to the agreement. At September 30, 2013 this $40,000 note had been paid in full.

15. FAIR VALUE
Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables.
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This topic defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance supersedes all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Company accounted for the conversion features underlying certain convertible debentures in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, as the conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures could result in the note principal and related accrued interest being converted to a variable number of the Company’s common shares.
Effective July 1 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820-10-55-23A, Scope Application to Certain Non-Financial Assets and Certain Non-Financial Liabilities, delaying application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange- traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently- traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models.

15. FAIR VALUE (continued)
The following table reconciles, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements:
Conversion Liability at January 1, 2013 | $ | 13,797,679 |
Value of beneficial conversion features of new debentures | 1,724,218 | |
Change in value of beneficial conversion features during period | (3,831,776) | |
Reductions in fair value due to principal conversions | - | |
Conversion Liability at September 30, 2013 | $ | 11,690,121 |
The fair value of the conversion features are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a conversion liability for the calculated value. The Company recognizes interest expense for the recognition of the conversion liability.
16. GOODWILL FROM THE ACQUISITION OF KWICK!
The excess of purchase price over tangible net assets acquired at September 30, 2011 was initially allocated to goodwill in the amount of $6,138,210. At September 30, 2013 management determined based on qualitative and quantitative factors that there was an impairment to goodwill.
The goodwill has been tested by the management of the Company in qualitative assessments throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These assessments lead management to identify impairment indicators related to goodwill. Management therefore performed the two-step impairment test for goodwill, utilizing a market approach to the valuation. In estimating the fair value of the reporting unit, Kwick, management considered comparable per user values from recent acquisitions in the industry, as well as the effect of the economic recession and continuing deterioration of the use of social networks in Germany. After applying the estimated fair value of the reporting unit of $2,660,000 to the net assets of Kwick at June 30, 2013, an implied fair value of goodwill of $2,452,812 was calculated. Based on the impairment test, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, goodwill of $3,685,398 was determined to be impaired and was written off. Management considered additional qualitative factors during the three months ended September 30, 2013, and after consideration of failures by comparable social networks, continuing operational losses and negative cash flow, the estimated value of the reporting unit created an implied fair value of goodwill of $-0-. Based on the impairment test, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, goodwill of $2,452,812 was determined to be impaired and was written off.
17. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity , which provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments out of accumulated comprehensive income into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. As the Company has not ceased to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Description of Business
The company successfully acquired the German social network Kwick! in the third quarter 2011. This acquisition added more than 10 million registered members with around 1 million active users, who create more than 2 billion page impressions a month in the Kiwibox network. This community has been online since 1999 and has been cash flow positive since inception. We are continuing to optimize this website and develop mobile applications to keep these users engaged across multiple platforms. We have continued to increase the number of events sponsored in Germany as a way to bind our German members to our website.
The Company has successfully integrated Pixunity to the US market and will continue to add impressive features throughout the year. At the same time we continue to increase our market presence. Our promotional teams, both inside and outside of New York City, continue to develop partnerships with event organizers and businesses along the East Coast of the United States and plan further expansion of these types of market alliances throughout 2013.
The Company attaches great importance to its innovative technology developments and continues to follow the top social network market leaders with technology upgrades, providing its users with an alternative social networking opportunity in the web and through mobile apps.
Based on the integration work and the financial translation overhead the operating expenses, not including stock-based compensation, are at a level of approximately $87,500 per month.
Subsequent to the date of the balance sheet Kwick acquired Interscholtz Internet Services GmbH and Co. KG, a German limited liability company. This company provides website hosting, website development, server farm installations and technical advisory services, and the acquisition is expected to reduce on going operating costs.
During the third quarter of 2013, Kiwibox experienced an increase of 100% in active users while doubling the amount of online users at any given time.. We now have over 22,000 active members per day and are registering approximately 2,000 new users per day. We have continued to release new mobil apps for the Iphone and Android devices, use of the mobil devices causes an exponential growth in viral activity drawing more users to our website.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, total revenues amounted to $212,570 and $790,657, respectively compared to $269,263 and $1,109,914 recorded in the same periods in 2012. The reason for this decline is due to a continued downward trend in the advertising market.
Gross Profit (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to $185,975 after accounting for $613,241 in cost of sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 gross profit (loss) amounted to $(4,594) after accounting for cost of sales of $177,176. The reduction in gross profit was the result of decreased advertising revenue due to market conditions.
After deducting selling and general and administrative expenses of $357,722 and $1,172,067 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $474,052 and $1,695,249 recorded in the same period in 2012, along with impairment of goodwill in the amount of $2,452,812 and $6,138,210 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company realized operating losses of $2,815,128 and $7,124,302 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to operating losses of $385,633 and $1,326,995 in the same periods in 2012. The decline in selling expenses and general and administrative expenses is the result of cost cutting measures, including consolidation of staffing operations at Kwick! The company realized additional other expenses of $2,452,812 due to the impairment of goodwill.
The period concluded with a net loss of $3,916,254 for the quarter and a net loss of $5,781,308 for the first nine months of 2013. After accounting for dividends accrued on outstanding preferred stock which totaled $38,447, the net loss applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $5,819,755 or $0.009 per share compared to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $8,148,017 or $0.013 per share for the same period in 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our business with new debt since our cash flow is insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to fund our operations. We received $310,000 in cash from short-term loans from accredited private investors during the three months ended September 30, 2013. We have an ongoing and urgent need for working capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to continue to receive new equity investments or obtain loans, we will not be able to fund our operations and we will be required to close our business.
Our deficit in working capital amounted to $24,968,244 at September 30, 2013, as compared to $20,603,415 at December 31, 2012. Stockholders’ equity showed an impairment of $24,810,015 at the end of the period, compared to an impairment of $19,032,919 at the beginning of the year. The negative cash flow from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, totaled $1,049,867 and was financed by new debt.
Our bank debt as of September 30, 2013 consisted of a bank overdraft of $3,628. Aside from trade payables and accruals, our remaining indebtedness at September 30, 2013 mainly consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating $10,502,032, liabilities for derivative conversion features of $11,690,121, amounts due to related parties of $24,389, and the following obligations. The position “Obligations to be settled in stock” of $265,978 accounts for common shares due under consulting agreements, and for services to be settled in common stock options and warrants, where the underlying securities had not yet been issued. Current liabilities also include $671,576 accrued unpaid dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Such dividends will be paid only if and when capital surplus and cash-flow from operations are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts without thereby unduly impacting the Company’s ability to continue operating and growing its business.
21 | ||
Our current cash reserves and net cash flow from operations expected during the near future will be insufficient to fund our operations and website development and marketing plan over the next twelve months. We expect to fund these requirements with further investments in form of debt or equity capital and are in ongoing discussions with existing investors to secure funding. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to secure needed financing in the future and identify a financing source or sources, and if we do, whether the terms of such financing will be acceptable or commercially reasonable.
Absent the receipt of needed equity investment or loans, we will be compelled to severely curtail operations and possibly, close our business operations. Assuming we can receive current funds to continue to operate our businesses, we may need additional funding for marketing and website development, absent of which our website development, results of operations and financial condition could be subject to material adverse consequences.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the fiscal period ended September 30, 2013 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
As of September 30, 2013, management assessed, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as more fully described below. Based on management’s assessment over financial reporting, management believes as of September 30, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following deficiencies:
1. The Company’s control environment did not have adequate segregation of duties and lacked adequate accounting resources to address non routine and complex transactions and financial reporting matters on a timely basis.
2. The Company had only a part time chief financial officer performing all accounting related duties on site, presenting the risk that the reporting of these non routine and complex transactions during the preparation of our future financial statements and disclosures may not be accomplished in a timely manner.
Company management believes that notwithstanding the above identified deficiencies that constitute our material weakness, that the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
- When available, we will devote additional resources to supplement, where necessary, existing resources with additional qualified third party consultants;
- We are continuing to institute more stringent approval processes for financial transactions, and
- We are continuing to perform additional procedures and analyses for significant transactions as a mitigating control in the control environment due to segregation of duties issues.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Other than as stated above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
