NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Alternet Systems Inc., through its subsidiaries (Alternet or the Company), plans to enter the digital currency space and provide end to end security for digital currencies, launch its digital currency bank, fully compliant with government regulations, foreign exchange capabilities, offer micro payment services to the unbanked and global diasporas, and alternative financial services to the retail industry emerging markets. Previously, the Company provided leading edge mobile financial solutions and mobile security and related solutions with the former being offered throughout the Western Hemisphere, but most actively in Central and South America and the Caribbean, and the latter being offered globally. As detailed in Note 7, Discontinued Operations, the Company, with the ATS Transaction discontinued providing mobile financial solutions and mobile security.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2014 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,572,031. The Companys continued operations are dependent on the successful implementation of its business plan, its ability to obtain additional financing as needed, continued support from creditors, settling its outstanding debts, and ultimately attaining profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, fair value of convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Revenue Recognition
Up to March 4, 2014, the Company entered into sales arrangements that may have provided for multiple deliverables to a customer. Software sales may have included the sale of a software license, implementation/customization services, and/or ongoing support services.
In order to treat deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have standalone value upon delivery, the Company accounts for each deliverable separately. Licenses, support fees, and hosted services have standalone value as such services are often sold separately. In determining whether implementation/customization services have standalone value, the Company considers the following factors for each agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the services, the timing of when the services contract was signed in comparison to the services start date, and the contractual dependence of the customization service on the customers satisfaction with the implementation/customization services work.
The Company concluded that all of the services included in multiple-deliverable arrangements executed had standalone values when multiple deliverables included in an arrangement are separated into different units of accounting. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units based on a relative selling price hierarchy. The Company determines the relative selling price for a deliverable based on its vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE), if available, or its best estimate of selling price (BESP), if VSOE is not available. The Company has determined that third-party evidence of selling price (TPE) is not a practical alternative due to differences in its service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third party pricing information. The amount of revenue allocated to delivered items is limited by contingent revenue, if any.
The Company has not established VSOE for a majority of its revenue due to lack of pricing consistency, the customer specific requests, and other factors. Accordingly, the Company used its BESP to determine the relative selling price.
The Company determined BESP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Companys discounting practices, the size and volume of the Companys transactions, the geographic area where services are sold, its market strategy, historic contractually stated prices and prior relationships, and future service sales with certain customers. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by the Companys management, taking into consideration the market strategy. As the Companys market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in selling prices.
Revenue was recognized upon delivery or when services were performed, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed, both title and risk of loss passed to the customer, and collection was reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed upon execution of a written sales agreement or signed purchase order that constituted a fixed and legally binding commitment between the Company and the buyer. Specifically, revenue from the sale of licenses was recognized when the title of the license transferred to the customer while revenue from implementation/customization services performed was recognized upon successful completion of a User Acceptance Test (UAT). If a successful UAT was never achieved and the sales arrangement was cancelled, the Company recognized any deferred revenue not required to be refunded to the customer.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
The Companys payment terms vary by client. To reduce credit risk in connection with software license and support sales, the Company may, depending upon the circumstances, require significant deposits prior to delivery. In some circumstances, the Company may require payment in full for its products prior to delivery. For support and hosted services, the Company sold customers service agreements that were recorded as deferred revenue and provided for payment in advance on either an annual or other periodic basis. Revenue for these support services was recognized ratable over the term of the agreement.
Subsequent to March 4, 2014 the Company is implementing the criteria outlined in SAB 104 and recognizing revenue when:
Research and Development
The Company expenses costs when incurred for items associated with researching and developing new sources of revenue.
Digital Currency Transactions
The Company enters into transactions that are denominated in digital currency (Ven). These transactions result in digital currency denominated assets and liabilities that are revalued periodically. Upon revaluation, transaction gains and losses are generated and are reported as unrealized gains and losses in other gain (loss), net in the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determines fair value as of the balance sheet date based on Level I inputs which consist of quoted prices in active markets. The value of the Companys digital currency is $125,000 as of June 30, 2014. Due to the uncertainty regarding the current and future accounting treatment and tax, legal and regulatory requirements relating to digital currencies or transactions utilizing digital currencies, such accounting, legal, regulatory and tax developments or other requirements may adversely affect us.
Long-Lived Assets Including Other Acquired Intellectual Property
Management monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles based on estimates using factors such as current market value, future asset utilization, and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its investment or use of the related assets. The Companys policy is to record any impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Any impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over estimated realizable value. The Company did not record any significant impairments on long-lived assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are subject to impairment tests at each reporting date. The Company assesses the impairment of intangible assets on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value is less than its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is considered impaired and the second step of the test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Topic 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including warrants using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had no warrants or options outstanding to consider in the income (loss) per share calculations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation plans in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation . The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method for determining the fair value of stock option grants. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all share-based awards that are expected to vest to be recognized in the statements of operations over the service or vesting period of each award. The Company uses the straight-line method of attributing the value of share-based compensation expense for all stock option grants over the requisite service period.
Reclassification
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU is to be applied prospectively for all disposals of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Additionally, this ASU is to be applied to all business activated that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. ASU No 2014-08 addresses concerns about the accounting for discontinued operations and the disposal of small groups of assets that are recurring in nature but qualify as discontinued operations under subtopic 205-20 Management does not anticipate that this accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU No 2014-09 addresses concerns about weaknesses and inconsistencies in revenue recognition across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. Management does not anticipate that this accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU No 2014-12 clarifies the diverse accounting treatments used by entities to account for awards based on performance targets achieved after the requisite period. Management does not anticipate that this accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 12 FAIR VALUE
Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; | |
Level 2 |
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; | |
Level 3 |
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
The fair value of the Companys accounts receivable, share subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, wages payable, accrued taxes, deferred income, other loans payable, and due to related parties approximate their carrying values. The Companys other financial instruments, being cash and investment in digital currency, are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
NOTE 13 LAWSUIT
In January 2014, the Company received notice of a $39,000 plus interest thereon default judgment issued by the State of New York related to an unpaid service agreement entered with the Plaintiffs on February 11, 2009. The Company has filed a motion to vacate the foreign judgment or in the alternative stay the enforcement. The Company, until receipt of such notice, was unaware of any such demand. No prior notice had been served to the Company or its chief executive. As of June 30, 2014, no provision for this claim has been made.

Overview
As mentioned in Note 7, effective March 4, 2014, Alternet Systems Inc. sold effectively all of Alternet Transaction Systems, Inc.’s (“ATS”) business and assets to Utiba, As a result the Company is no longer engaged in providing mobile financial services. Along the vision outlined below, in the first quarter, the Company entered into its first arrangement in the digital currency industry. The Company also expects to pursue potential opportunities to grow through mergers and acquisitions. The Company has identified several opportunities and initiated initial discovery processes.
Alternets vision is based on the following principles
Cloud based, secure, regulatory compliant, global currencies are needed to service this emerging market. As the usage and dependence of Smart Mobile Devices continues to increase there will be a need for more intelligent and effective Money.
In 2014, the Companys expected milestones are:
• |
to enter into arrangements with select digital currencies, with the first having taken place in February 2014 with Ven; | |
• |
to provide end to end security for digital currencies; the company has entered into a strategic joint venture with BIOMETRY for "BioME", which replaces passwords and PINs through the combination of dynamic facial and voice recognition in a unique ID system; | |
• |
to launch the digital currency bank, fully compliant with government regulations, FX exchange capabilities; | |
• |
to invest in micro payment services to the unbanked and global diasporas; | |
• |
to invest in alternative financial services to the retail industry emerging markets; | |
• |
to attract key talent specialized in the digital economy; and | |
• |
. to prepare to apply to list our common stock on a national securities exchange. |
VEN is a global digital currency traded in international financial markets and originally used by members of a social network service, Hub Culture, to buy, share, and trade knowledge, goods, and services. The value of Ven is determined on the financial markets from a basket of currencies, commodities and carbon futures. It trades against major currencies at floating exchange rates.
Hub Culture is an invitation-led social network service that operates the global digital currency Ven, and according to its website, is "the first to merge online and physical world environments." It was founded in November 2002. The Hub Culture group of companies is privately held with offices in Bermuda, Hong Kong, London and New York, with a network of knowledge brokers in over 20 locations worldwide. The web site is www.hubculture.com.
In the first quarter we entered into a relationship with VEN and Hub Culture to become a VEN Authority. This relationship will allow us to become an issuer of the VEN Currency on a global basis, leveraging the experience and the strength of this Digital Currency. We expect to start generating revenues from the sale of the currency, by the end of 2014.
The Companys digital bank initiative, will focus on bringing to market innovative consumer products, including a multi-asset debit and credit card. This initiative is the first of its kind with dynamic currency conversion from digital to physical currency, digital currency exchange and merchant acquisition solutions. All of these services will include the seamless integration of existing digital currencies, including Bitcoin, Ven, Ripple and others. The company expects to have a global reach, initially launching in Latin America and the Caribbean, with expansion opportunities into Africa and Eastern Europe.
We will actively participate in the industry associations and promoting organizations, expecting to have an active involvement. We will also seek speaking and industry show participation, promoting our new initiatives.
Digital and Mobile Security Software and Services

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in United States dollars. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Our fiscal year-end is December 31.
The minority interests of ATS up to March 4, 2014, the date the Company gained 100% ownership, IMS, and ATSs and IMSs wholly owned subsidiaries have been deducted from earnings and equity. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, fair value of convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on managements assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.
Equipment
Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated at the following rates:
Computer equipment | - | 30% declining balance basis | |
Computer software | - | 30% declining balance basis | |
Equipment | - | 20% declining balance basis |
Long-Lived Assets Including Other Acquired Intellectual Property
Management monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangibles based on estimates using factors such as current market value, future asset utilization, and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its investment or use of the related assets. The Companys policy is to record any impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Any impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over estimated realizable value. The Company did not recognize an impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are subject to impairment tests at each reporting date. The Company assesses the impairment of intangible assets on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value is less than its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is considered impaired and the second step of the test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company did not recognized an impairment charges related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Revenue Recognition
Up to March 4, 2014, the Company entered into sales arrangements that may have provided for multiple deliverables to a customer. Software sales may have included the sale of a software license, implementation/customization services, and/or ongoing support services.
In order to treat deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have standalone value upon delivery, the Company accounts for each deliverable separately. Licenses, support fees, and hosted services have standalone value as such services are often sold separately. In determining whether implementation/customization services have standalone value, the Company considers the following factors for each agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the services, the timing of when the services contract was signed in comparison to the services start date, and the contractual dependence of the customization service on the customers satisfaction with the implementation/customization services work.
The Company concluded that all of the services included in multiple-deliverable arrangements executed had standalone values when multiple deliverables included in an arrangement are separated into different units of accounting. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units based on a relative selling price hierarchy. The Company determines the relative selling price for a deliverable based on its vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE), if available, or its best estimate of selling price (BESP), if VSOE is not available. The Company has determined that third-party evidence of selling price (TPE) is not a practical alternative due to differences in its service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third party pricing information. The amount of revenue allocated to delivered items is limited by contingent revenue, if any.
The Company has not established VSOE for a majority of its revenue due to lack of pricing consistency, the customer specific requests, and other factors. Accordingly, the Company used its BESP to determine the relative selling price.
The Company determined BESP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company’s transactions, the geographic area where services are sold, its market strategy, historic contractually stated prices and prior relationships, and future service sales with certain customers. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company’s management, taking into consideration the market strategy. As the Company’s market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in selling prices.
Revenue was recognized upon delivery or when services were performed, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed, both title and risk of loss passed to the customer, and collection was reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed upon execution of a written sales agreement or signed purchase order that constituted a fixed and legally binding commitment between the Company and the buyer. Specifically, revenue from the sale of licenses was recognized when the title of the license transferred to the customer while revenue from implementation/customization services performed was recognized upon successful completion of a User Acceptance Test (“UAT”). If a successful UAT was never achieved and the sales arrangement was cancelled, the Company recognized any deferred revenue not required to be refunded to the customer.
The Company’s payment terms vary by client. To reduce credit risk in connection with software license and support sales, the Company may, depending upon the circumstances, require significant deposits prior to delivery. In some circumstances, the Company may require payment in full for its products prior to delivery. For support and hosted services, the Company sold customers service agreements that were recorded as deferred revenue and provided for payment in advance on either an annual or other periodic basis. Revenue for these support services was recognized ratable over the term of the agreement.
Subsequent to March 4, 2014 the Company is implementing the criteria outlined in SAB 104 and recognizing revenue when:
Research and Development
The Company expenses costs when incurred for items associated with researching and developing new sources of revenue.
Digital Currency Transactions
The Company enters into transactions that are denominated in digital currency (Ven). These transactions result in digital currency denominated assets and liabilities that are revalued periodically. Upon revaluation, transaction gains and losses are generated and are reported as unrealized gains and losses in other gain (loss), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determines fair value as of the balance sheet date based on Level I inputs which consist of quoted prices in active markets. The value of the Company’s digital currency is $125,000 as of March 31, 2014. Due to the uncertainty regarding the current and future accounting treatment and tax, legal and regulatory requirements relating to digital currencies or transactions utilizing digital currencies, such accounting, legal, regulatory and tax developments or other requirements may adversely affect us.
Debt with Conversion Options
The Company accounts for convertible debentures in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a ‘‘net settlement feature,’’ which means instruments that by their terms may be settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion. Accordingly, the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled wholly or partially in cash upon conversion should be accounted for separately in a manner reflective of their issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Conversion features determined to be beneficial to the holder are valued at fair value and recorded to additional paid in capital. Any discount derived from determining the fair value to the debenture conversion features is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debenture. The unamortized costs, if any, upon the conversion of the debentures is expensed to interest immediately.
Leases
The Company leased operating facilities which include switches, other network equipment, and premises. Rentals payable under operating leases were charged to the statements of operation on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. For capital leases, the present value of future minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease was reflected as an asset and a liability in the statement of financial position. Amounts due within one year are classified as short-term liabilities and the remaining balance as long-term liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States Dollar. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of accounts receivable, checks in excess of bank balances, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, wages payable, accrued payroll taxes, other loans payable, stock-based compensation, warrants, and due to related parties, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under a method which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation plans in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method for determining the fair value of stock option grants. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all share-based awards that are expected to vest to be recognized in the statements of operations over the service or vesting period of each award. The Company uses the straight-line method of attributing the value of share-based compensation expense for all stock option grants over the requisite service period.
Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Topic 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including warrants using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had no warrants or options outstanding to consider in income (loss) per share calculation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU is to be applied prospectively for all disposals of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Additionally, this ASU is to be applied to all business activated that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. ASU No 2014-08 addresses concerns about the accounting for discontinued operations and the disposal of small groups of assets that are recurring in nature but qualify as discontinued operations under subtopic 205-20. Management does not anticipate that this accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU No 2014-09 addresses concerns about weaknesses and inconsistencies in revenue recognition across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. Management does not anticipate that this accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU No 2014-12 clarifies the diverse accounting treatments used by entities to account for awards based on performance targets achieved after the requisite period. Management does not anticipate that this accounting pronouncement will have any material future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
