Note 1 - Organization
Unilava Corporation, a Wyoming corporation, was formerly known as IWI Holding Limited (“IWI”), and was engaged in the international jewelry business through a US subsidiary. IWI went public via an initial public offering in 1994, and disposed of the subsidiary on December 31, 2007. On September 21, 2009, IWI entered into an Agreement pursuant to which IWI acquired all of the outstanding shares of Telava Networks, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TelavaNV”), in exchange for 55 million shares of common stock. In addition, preferred stock of IWI which had been issued in 1994 totaling 3,644,880 shares were converted into 45 million shares of common stock. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, the TelavaNV management was appointed as the members of IWI management, the name of IWI was changed to Unilava, Corporation (“Unilava or the “Company””) and the corporation was reincorporated from the British Virgin Islands to Wyoming via Articles of Continuation.
The Company consists of several subsidiaries which make up the consolidated financial statements. The parent company is Unilava Corporation which is a holding company for the operating subsidiaries. Local Area Yellow Pages has significant operating revenue. Telava Wireless has significant assets. Local Info Pages has overseas operations in Korea. Telava Acquisitions is insignificant to the Company financial position and operating results. Telava Mobile has minimal assets and operations. IBFA has significant assets, liabilities and revenue.
TelavaNV, a privately owned company, was incorporated in Nevada on July 23, 2003 as Local Area Yellow Pages to provide advertising and directory listings for small and medium sized businesses on its internet website in a “Yellow Pages” format. The Company provides those services to its subscribers for a monthly fee. These services are provided primarily to small and medium sized businesses throughout the United States. On July 10, 2007, Local Area Yellow Pages amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the corporation to Telava Networks, Inc. (“TelavaNV”) for the purpose of launching its network to provide the next generation fixed and mobile WiMAX broad band solutions to small and medium businesses, public safety organizations, and others in various markets through its network. TelavaNV continues its Yellow Pages operations while, at the same time, expanding its WiMAX network. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, nearly 21% of the Company’s revenues have been generated by its Yellow Pages business.
On January 19, 2006, TelavaNV formed Local Info Pages, Inc. (“LIP”), headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, as a wholly owned subsidiary of TelavaNV. LIP is one of the leading direct marketing and business service companies in Korea. LIP connects advertisers to targeted audiences through its network advertising products and services. On January 3, 2007, the Company acquired a website which brings value to the Company because of its large customer base which enables the Company to target and market its products to those customers. Another division of LIP is the second largest coupon company in South Korea which enables advertisers to directly reach consumers with branded media products, coupons and other advertisements. Many consumers depend on the Company to deliver the best values in town via direct and online coupons. For advertisers, LIP offers business advertising solutions by enabling them to sell their products and services in person, online or through the mail.
On May 17, 2006, TelavaNV formed Telava Wireless, Inc. (“Telava Wireless”) as a subsidiary for the purpose of entering the mobile WiMAX broad band solutions market. On November 6, 2006, the Company acquired 40 microwave towers in exchange for 25% of Telava Wireless.
On September 11, 2007, TelavaNV formed Telava Acquisitions, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of acquiring other related businesses.
On January 16, 2008, Telava Acquisitions, Inc. (“Telava”) a Delaware corporation and IBFA Acquisition Company, LLC (“IBFA”) a Michigan corporation and James Grabowski and Casimir Wojciechowski (the “Members”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“MIPA”) whereby Telava agreed to purchase (the “Acquisition”) 100% of IBFA member interests from the Members for a purchase price of $2,250,000 subject to certain conditions such as a Management Agreement described below. An initial $1,750,000 was paid in fiscal year 2008 with $500,000 deferred and payable at the rate of $25,000 to $50,000 per month based on a specific calculation. During 2009, the Company paid $272,750 of deferred payments. The remaining $227,750 was subject to “True-up” provisions as of the effective date of the Acquisition on January 11, 2009 (See discussion below). Upon final settlement, The Company received concessions totaling $177,578 and made final payments totaling $95,172. Payment made related to the organization totaled $2,117,922. The cost of acquisition totaling

$1,835,873 has been entirely allocated to Goodwill which represents the overall cost of acquisition in excess of the fair value of tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets.
On November 12, 2008, TelavaNV formed Telava Mobile, Inc. (“TM”) as a 80% majority-owned subsidiary for the purpose of entering the mobile services businesses offering prepaid mobile calling cards and unlimited mobile services throughout the United States of America.
Note 2 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has recently sustained operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $7,382,020 at March 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has negative working capital of $8,350,037 at March 31, 2013.
The Company has and will continue to use significant capital to grow and acquire market share. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through sales of their common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments that are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. Fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The Company considers the carrying amounts of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, related party and other receivables, accounts payable, notes payable, related party and other payables, customer deposits, and short term loans approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. The Company considers the carrying amount of long term bank loans to approximate their fair values based on the interest rates of the instruments and the current market rate of interest.
Level 1 The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.
Level 2 FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.
Level 3 If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Foreign Currency Adjustments
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, LIP, is measured using the foreign subsidiary’s local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of the subsidiary have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
This includes all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. The Company has a restricted cash balance of $28,127 and $28,119 on March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which is comprised of Certificates of Deposit. The restricted cash is held in certificates of deposit at various banking institutions. The Company is expected to maintain the amounts in the certificates of deposit per agreements with certain vendors.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported at the customers' outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company evaluates receivables on a regular basis for potential reserve.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
The Company depreciates its fixed assets on a straight line basis at the following rates:
Microwave towers | 25 years |
| |
Computer equipment | 5 years |
| |
Furniture and equipment | 7 years |
| |
Software | 3 years |
| |
Leasehold improvements | 5 years |
Long-lived Assets
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may not be recovered. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the fair value of the asset. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value. The Company has never recognized an impairment charge.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets arising from an acquisition of a business are periodically assessed for impairment rather than amortized on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, the Company annually reviews the carrying value of this goodwill and other intangible assets to determine whether impairment, as measured by fair market value, may exist. Specifically, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill and other intangible asset impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, then the goodwill and other intangible assets of the reporting unit are not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill and other intangible assets with their carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill and other intangible assets exceeds their implied fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Goodwill consisted of $767,873 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 as a result of the IBFA purchase as disclosed in the Company’s December 31, 2011 Form 10-K.
Accounting for Share-Based Compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation (Continued)
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.
Telava NV and LIP : The Company’s revenue is generated by customer subscriptions of directory and advertising services. Revenue is billed and recognized monthly for services subscribed in that specific month. The Company utilizes outside billing companies to transmit billing data, much of which is forwarded to Local Exchange Carriers (“LEC’s”) that provide local telephone service.
LEC Billing : When a customer subscribes to the Company’s service, an electronic customer file is created which is the basis for the billing. The Company submits gross billings electronically to third party billing aggregators. These billing aggregators compile and format electronic customer files and forward the billing records to the appropriate LEC’s. The billing for our service flows through to monthly bills of the individual LEC customers. The LEC’s collect the Company’s billing and remit amounts to the billing aggregators, which in turn remit funds to the Company. The following are significant accounting estimates and assumptions used in the revenue recognition process with respect to these billings.
Customer refunds : The Company’s customer refund policy allows the customer to request a refund if they are not satisfied with the service within the first 30 days of the subscription. The Company accrues for refunds based on historical experience of refunds as a percentage of new billings in that 30-day period. Customer refunds historically have been insignificant and therefore there is no reserve against gross revenue.
Non-paying customers : There are customers who may not pay the fee for our services even though the Company believes they are valid subscribers. Included in cost of services is an accrual for estimated non-paying customers that are recorded at the time of billing.
Dilution : The Company recognizes revenue during the month for which the service is provided based on net billings accepted by the billing aggregators and recognizes revenue only for accepted records. However, subsequent to this acceptance, there are instances in the LEC billing process where a customer cannot be billed due to changes in telephone numbers, telephone carriers, data synchronization issues, etc. These amounts that ultimately cannot be billed, as well as certain minor billing adjustments by the LEC’s, are commonly referred to as “dilution.” Such unbillable accounts and chargebacks are estimated at the time of billing and charged against net revenues.
Fees : Both the billing aggregator and the LEC charge processing fees. Additionally, the LEC charges fees for responding to billing inquiries by its customers, processing refunds, and other customer-related services. Such fees are estimated at the time of billing and charged to cost of services.
Revenue for billings to certain customers are billed directly by the Company and not through the LEC’s, is recognized based on estimated future collections. The Company continuously reviews this estimate for reasonableness based on its collection experience.
Telava Wireless : Leasing revenue for towers are recognized on a monthly basis based on the terms and conditions of the lease agreements.

Revenue Recognition (Continued)
LIP : Printing revenue for coupon books are recognized as services are performed.
IBFA: Wireless services and wireline voice and data communication services. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery of the products or services, and the collectibility is reasonably assured. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent.
Service revenue includes the value of all telecommunications services provided, net of free usage allocations and discounts. Revenue is recognized when earned, and are net of the share of other foreign and local carriers and content providers, if any, under existing correspondence and interconnection and settlement agreements.
Revenue is stated at amounts billed or invoiced and accrued to subscribers or other carriers and content providers, taking into consideration the bill cycle cut-off (for postpaid subscribers), and charges against preloaded airtime value (for prepaid subscribers), and excludes value-added tax (VAT) and overseas communication tax.
Advertising Costs
The Company incurs advertising costs that are not considered direct response advertising and are expensed when incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred approximately $22 and $738, respectively, in marketing and advertising expense.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax provisions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods.
Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Earnings Per Common Share
The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants using the “treasury stock” method and convertible securities using the “if-converted” method. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no potential common equivalent shares used in the calculation of dilutive weighted average common shares outstanding as the effect would be anti-dilutive because of the net loss.
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying financial statements include the estimate of dilution and fees associated with LEC billings and the estimated reserve for doubtful accounts receivable.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under generally accepted accounting principles are excluded from net income. For the Company, such items consist solely of foreign currency translation gains and losses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through May 2013 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
On July 1, 2011, we adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires the disclosure of roll-forward activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
On January 1, 2012, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB on accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance enhancing disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s right to offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts offset in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net exposure. In January 2013, the FASB clarified that the scope of this guidance applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, or similar agreements. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2013. We do not expect material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of AOCI. This new guidance requires entities to present (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes) the effects on the line items of the income statement for amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2013. Other than requiring additional disclosures, we do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption.
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. We are currently studing what effect, if any, this accounting will have on our financial statements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company has maintained balances in excess of federally insured limits from time to time during the fiscal year. Management periodically reviews the adequacy and strength of the financial institutions and deems this to be an acceptable risk.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, approximately20.26% and 5.1% of the Company's net sales were made to customers outside the United States.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.

Note 4 – Accounts Receivable
The Company provides billing information to a third party billing company for the majority of its monthly billings. Billings submitted are “filtered” by this billing company and the LEC’s. Net accepted billings are recognized as revenue and accounts receivable. The billing company remits payments to the Company on the basis of cash ultimately received from the LEC’s by the billing company. The billing company and LEC’s charge fees for services, which are netted against the gross accounts receivable balance. The billing companies also apply holdbacks to the remittance for potentially uncollectible accounts. These dilution amounts will vary due to numerous factors and the Company may not be certain as to the actual amounts of dilution on any specific billing submittal until several months after that submittal. The Company estimates the amount of these charges and holdbacks based on historical experience and subsequent information received from the billing companies. The Company also estimates uncollectible account balances and provides an allowance for such estimates. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount reserved for uncollectible account balances is $726 and $5,023, respectively.
The billing companies retain certain holdbacks that may not be collected by the Company for a period extending beyond one year. The balances are charged to bad debt expense. However, when true-up balances occur with the LEC after six to eighteen months, the money received will be classified as revenue to offset current bad debt expenses.
The Company experiences significant dilution of its gross billings by the billing company. The Company negotiates collections with the billing companies on the basis of the contracted terms and historical experience. The Company’s cash flow may be affected by holdbacks, fees, and other matters, which are determined by the LEC’s and the billing company. The Company processes its billings through the primary billing company.

We have a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit with the Thermo Credit LLC, pursuant to a credit agreement, dated July 17, 2010, between the Company and the bank. This revolving line of credit is guaranteed/secured by the all of the assets of the Company including cash, accounts receivable and fixed assets (See Note 4 Accounts Receivable and Note 5 Fixed Assets).
