PART I  

ITEM 1. BUSINESS. 

General 

Worlds Online’s subsidiary MariMed Advisors, a professional management company in the emerging medical cannabis business dominated the Company’s revenue in 2016. Worlds Online original core business of creating 3D entertainment ‘Worlds” through entertainment portals was basically dormant in 2016.

On January 19, 2017 , the Board of Directors unanimously resolved subject to Stockholder approval , which was obtained on January 26, 2017 to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation ( The Revised Certificate”) The Revised Certificate amended the Certificate of Incorporation as follows:

• Increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares and
• Increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares

On January 19, 2017 , the Board of Directors unanimously resolved subject to Stockholder approval which was obtained on January 26, 2017 to:

• Authorize a Reverse Stock Split of up to 90% at the discretion of the Board of Directors
• Authorize the change of name of company from Worlds Online, Inc to MariMed , Inc.

As set forth in the Information Statement it was contemplated tthat the Company was considering spinning out the 3D business of Worlds Online and acquiring for a large amount of stock the other 49% of equity of MariMed Advisors. This business of the company would then be a single purposed focused on the emerging Cannabis Industry.

Corporate History 

We were formed on January 25, 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.). Effective May 16, 2011 Worlds Inc. transferred to us the majority of its operations and related operational assets, except for its patent portfolio. Worlds Inc. has also given us a perpetual world-wide license to its patented technology. Pursuant to the license and we have the right to issue unlimited sublicenses to the licensed technology, subject to Worlds Inc.’s reasonable consent. 

The assets transferred to us include: Worlds Inc.’s technology platform, Worlds Chat, Aerosmith World, DMC Worlds, Cinema Virtual, Pearson contracts and related revenue, the following URLs: Worlds.com, Cybersexworld.com, Hang.com, and Worldsfunds.com, a digital inventory of over 10,000 3D objects, animation sequences, an extensive avatar library, texture maps and virtual world architectures. 

The transfer of assets occurred in the context of the spin-off by Worlds Inc. of its online and operational technologies businesses to us. The spin-off was effectuated by Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.) declaring a dividend of its shares of its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Worlds Online, Inc. with each share of Worlds Inc. to receive 1/3 of a share of Worlds Online with all fractional shares rounded up. Worlds Inc. did not want a trading market to develop for its shares until the SEC completed its review of its registration statement on Form 10. Accordingly, the actual distribution of the dividend did not occur until the payment date of March 12, 2012. Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Approximately 23,859,248 shares were issued as part of the dividend distribution and immediately following the distribution Worlds Inc. continued to own approximately 19.6% of our outstanding shares. Worlds Inc. intends to dispose of its stock in an orderly fashion into the open market or in private sales, in either case in ways designed not to impact the market. While it holds any of our shares it will vote them in proportion to the votes by other stockholders. 

On May 19, 2014, Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MariMed”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a Massachusetts limited liability company, and the Members of Sigal (“Sellers”). The transaction closed on September 29, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company, through MariMed, acquired all of the assets of Sigal and the Sellers received the aggregate amount of (i) the Company’s common stock (WORX) equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date; (ii) three million options to purchase shares of common stock which are exercisable over five years with various exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35 and (iii) 49% of MariMed’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company’s ownership of MariMed was reduced from 100% to 51%. 

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase acquisition/merger wherein the Company is both accounting acquirer and legal acquirer. Accordingly, the company recorded the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of the merger and the portion that the fair value of the common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Sigal was recorded as goodwill, which was subsequently impaired in full. 

Our fiscal year ends on December 31.

Medical Cannabis 

Through MariMed the Company offers a comprehensive suite of products in those states with newly passed medical marijuana regulations and/or recreational use marijuana. These services include fee-based to assistance to applicants to apply for state regulated cannabis licenses. For those who are awarded a license MariMed provides consultative services for all aspects required for the design , and operation of cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensing facilities.

Business Activities 

MariMed does not currently own licenses with respect to, nor sell cannabis products. MariMed’s goal is to be an industry leader in providing professional management services. MariMed has developed proprietary operating processes and procedures to provide best practices to its clients.These services are also offered to existing licensed marijuana facilities. In such cases, MariMed can reengineer their facilities, purchase and develop new ones to maximize the value of their licenses and provide ongoing management services. 

Cannabis remains a Controlled Substance under federal law which makes conventional funding difficult to obtain. Accordingly, the demand for private funding in this industry is enormous. MariMed has raised private capital to fund some of its clients. 

MariMed intends to develop a brand of licensed cannabis infused products that are designed to be precision dosed for specific symptoms or conditions. These products are expected to be developed by the MariMed team in cooperation with licensed facilities. MariMed intends to license branded products to licensed facilities across the country. 

MariMed is working to develop for licensed facilities patient assessment programs to support research in the industry We believe that tracking outcomes and maintaining a good regimen with the patient will assist dispensaries in safely providing safe and reliable products to patients. 

Business Structure

MariMed creates private limited liability companies to fund and develop cultivation, processing, and dispensing facilities. These single facility LLCs are sometimes jointly owned by MariMed and investors with the share of ownership and the allocation of return negotiated on a deal specific basis. This structure was used in projects in Delaware, Illinois, and Nevada. 

As of December 31, 2016 MariMed was managing for clients three operating facilities, developing building six new facilities and assisting three applicants to obtain licenses in other States. 

Alliances 

MariMed is developing a licensed branded product line, Kalm Fusion. As of December 31, 2016 these products are being test marketed by MariMed licensed clients in two states. MariMed has entered into a licensing agreement with the US Representative of Tikun Olam, the first developer of medical cannabis products in Israel, to sublicense certain medical cannabis genetics developed in Israel to MariMed’s Delaware client at its licensed facility. 

No assurance can be given that any of the alliances will result in increased revenues for MariMed.

3D Technology

Our worlds are visually engaging online environments featuring animation, motion and content where people can come together and, by navigating through the website, shop, interact with others, attend events and be entertained. In support of this portal and our overall business strategy, we can design and develop software, content and related technology for the creation of interactive, three-dimensional ("3D") Internet web sites. Using our licensed technology, we create our own Internet sites, as well as sites available through third-party online service providers. 

Sites using our technology allow numerous, simultaneous visitors to enter, navigate and share interactive "worlds". Our 3D Internet sites are designed to promote frequent, repeat and prolonged visitation by users by providing them with unique online communities featuring dynamic graphics, highly useful and entertaining information content, and interactive capabilities. We believe that our sites should be highly attractive to advertisers because they offer access to demographic-specific user bases comprised of people that visit the site frequently and stay for relatively long periods of time. 

In addition to our current business of developing and/or maintaining 3D worlds for our customers, we also hope to facilitate revenue generation through the acquisition of target companies that are either related to our core online virtual world properties or are operating in the areas of mobile content, casual games, virtual currency, micro transactions, online advertising and e-learning. We believe that targeted acquisition candidates offer a new cross platform opportunity to acquire customers and revenue while synergistically complementing our core competencies and technology platforms. 

Going forward we intend to focus on establishing strategic partnerships and pursuing related synergistic technology acquisitions. With respect to acquisitions, there are no signed agreements or letters of intent at this time and we are only in the initial stages of discussion and negotiation. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in closing any deals or, even if we successfully close any deals, that we will see any revenues from such transactions. 

We believe that some of the uncertainty surrounding the legal challenge to the patents of our licensor, Worlds Inc., is having a negative impact on our ability to generate revenues from our 3D business and we do not expect any material changes until the patent litigation is resolved. Accordingly, we are currently directing our efforts to developing and expanding the medical marijuana part of our business and we are currently contemplating spinning off the 3D business.  

The Technology 

We license our technology to produce three-dimensional portals and web sites for ourself and for third parties. We believe that our core technology delivers a considerably faster frame rate for user experiences and, in some cases, a meaningful productivity increase in art production and integration over its previous generation production tools. Our licensed technology permits the development of virtual worlds which have broad applications. These applications include but are not limited to a virtual meeting place (such as a fan club); a 3D e-commerce store (where merchandise can be viewed in 3D and purchased online); and a virtual classroom (where content can be viewed via video streaming and then discussed in real time). 

The core technology has substantial elements written in, Java, including WorldsBrowser and WorldsShaper, so we expect that it can be made portable across Windows and UNIX Platforms because of Java's platform independence. Our core technology includes: WorldsShaper, WorldsServer, WorldsBrowser, WorldsPlayer™ and Worlds Gamma Libraries.    

(5)

Worlds 3D Chat

We license a proprietary online 3D Internet chat site known as Worlds.com, an interactive site employing our licensed 3D technology. Our licensed 3D technology enhances users' chat experiences by allowing users to see a representation of each other in the form of highly textured characters, known as avatars, and to explore a 3D environment together. Users have the option to create their own avatars or choose from pre-defined figures in our library. Users communicate with each other through text chat, as well as voice-to- voice chat and can move through the many virtual "worlds" of the 3D environment. 

The user moves his or her avatar through these worlds using a mouse or keyboard arrow keys and can engage other avatars in one-on-one text-based or real voice-to-voice discussions; enter theme-based chat rooms featuring group discussions on numerous music styles, specific recording artists and other topics; experience interactive advertising and promotions; access information on various recording artists, concert schedules and other music-related and non-music-related information; view new music videos by leading recording artists; listen to selections from newly released CDs by numerous recording artists; purchase music and recording artist-related merchandise online; and design their own unique avatar as a VIP subscriber. 

We believe that the user base to the Worlds 3D Chat site could develop into a valuable asset if we have sufficient funds to market the site and increase its visibility. Worlds 3D Chat also contains an e-commerce component in the form of a real 3D virtual store online, selling music merchandise of various major recording artists. 

In the event we are successful in increasing the user base of Worlds 3D Chat it may also increase corporate brand identity that could translate into valuable consumer data and related advertising potential. A free demo of Worlds 3D Chat can be accessed by going to www.worldsonline.com and following instructions for a log- in account.

Competition

In both of our business segments, many companies now compete with us in one way or another and new ones may emerge in the future. The competition may be through entry into the same markets, or through technology that either obviates our advantages or lowers the barrier to entry in one of our markets. The markets in which we compete are characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer requirements, new laws and regulations, frequent new service and product introductions and evolving industry standards which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, our ability to compete will be dependent upon our ability to develop and successfully introduce new products into the marketplace in a timely manner and to continually enhance and improve our products, services and technology to meet the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our users and prospective users. 

The competitive nature of each market segment varies based upon capitalization, historic positioning and technical capabilities among other attributes relative to these segments of each of the competitors within these markets. We believe we have (i) the technical capability to compete in all of these segments, and (ii) existing relationships in most of these market segments. However, we believe we are currently undercapitalized to effectively compete in all of the emerging market segments listed above and until we can raise sufficient capital to compete across the board we will have to cede certain segments while we focus our resources on those segments we believe we can be most competitive. Since as described above, the barriers to entry to any single segment are relatively low, a limited but sharply focused competitor will likely be able to overwhelm us in a specific segment. We are also unable to predict with any precision the particular segment in which such a competitor may arise and what our response will be as that will depend upon the resources available to us at that time.

Intellectual Property

Our 3D technology utilizes the trademark Worldsplayer™ which is especially designed to allow users to view and experience the multi-user, interactive Worlds Gamma technology. Any world created with the WorldsShaper will be viewable and navigable with WorldsPlayer. The WorldsPlayer offers users the unique and creative experience of customizing their Avatars, while maintaining the ability to animate and activate their Avatars.

MariMed has filed for trademarks for some of its branded product lines. 

In addition to our trademarks, we intend to enter into confidentiality agreements with key employees and consultants to protect our IP and general know-how. 

Employees

We currently have four full time employees, three of which are involved in MariMed operations. Our president and CEO, Thomas Kidrin, who is also the president and CEO of our former parent, Worlds, Inc., continues to provide services on an as-needed basis. We do not believe that Mr. Kidrin’s obligations to Worlds Inc. will interfere with his ability to act as our president and CEO. Mr. Chris Ryan, our chief financial officer is a part-time employee who provides services to us on an as-needed basis. Mr. Ryan, who has the same arrangement with Worlds Inc., also has a full time job but based upon his past performance of his duties for Worlds Inc. we do not believe his outside duties will affect his ability to perform services for us as–needed. In the event our future growth requires a full time CFO, we expect to make any necessary arrangements which could include hiring Mr. Ryan on a full time basis or hiring a new full time CFO. We similarly expect to monitor Mr. Kidrin’s performance to determine if his duties to Worlds Inc. are interfering with his obligations to us.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

Our business is subject to numerous risks, including but not limited to those set forth below. Our operations and performance could also be subject to risks that do not exist as of the date of this report but emerge thereafter as well as risks that we do not currently deem material.

Risks related to our operations

Our auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not generate substantial revenue and are also unable to obtain capital from other resources, we will significantly curtail our operations or halt them entirely. 

Our MariMed operations require substantial funds to acquire and develop new facilities. We have only limited cash or cash equivalents. Our capital requirements for the development and commercialization of our 3D technology business, creation of our 3D sites and our general operations have been, when owned by Worlds Inc., and will continue to be now that we own it, significant. We will be dependent on financings to fund our development, working capital needs and the cost of future acquisitions. Accordingly, if we do not develop any new projects or acquire profitable companies or otherwise significantly increase our revenues, we would have to severely diminish our operations or halt them entirely. The opinion of our auditors contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. 

We have experienced relatively large losses during our development and, without significant increases in the market penetration of our services and improvements to our operating margins, we will not achieve profitability. 

Historically, our former parent incurred significant net losses over the last 17+ years developing our 3D technology and developing our business model and assets. We anticipate that our 3D operations will continue to incur significant losses for at least the short term. We will not achieve profitable operations until we successfully attract and retain a significant number of advertisers to, and users of, our 3D sites and customers for our other services and generate revenues from these sources that are sufficient to offset the substantial up-front expenditures and operating costs associated with developing and commercializing our services. We may never be able to accomplish these objectives.

It will be difficult for you to evaluate us based on our past performance because we are a relatively new company with a limited operating history.

We have been actively engaged in the medical marijuana business and the commercial sale of our 3D Internet-based services for a relatively short period of time and, accordingly, have only limited financial results on which you can evaluate our company and operations. We are subject to, and must be successful in addressing, the risks typically encountered by new enterprises and companies operating in the rapidly evolving Internet marketplace, including those risks relating to:  

•  the failure to develop brand name recognition and reputation;

• the failure to achieve market acceptance of our services;

• a slowdown in general consumer acceptance of the Internet as a vehicle for commerce; and

• an inability to grow and adapt our business and technology to evolving consumer demand.

(8)

Our success is dependent on additional states legalizing medical marijuana. 

Continued development of the medical marijuana market is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of marijuana at the state level for medical and adult recreational use. Any number of factors could slow or halt the progress. Further, progress, while encouraging, is not assured and the process normally encounters set-backs before achieving success. While there may be ample public support for legislative proposal, key support must be created in the legislative committee or a bill may never advance to a vote. Numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt the progress and adoption of marijuana for medical purposes, which would limit the market for our products and negatively impact our business and revenues. 

The alternative medicine industry faces strong opposition. 

It is believed by many that existing, entrenched, well-funded, businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the medical marijuana industry as currently formed. For example, we believe that the pharmaceutical industry does not want to cede control of any compound that could become a strong selling drug. Specifically, medical marijuana will likely adversely impact the existing market for Marinol, the current “marijuana pill” sold by mainstream pharmaceutical companies. Further, the medical marijuana industry could face a material threat from the pharmaceutical industry should marijuana displace other drugs or simply encroach upon the pharmaceutical industry’s market share for compounds such as marijuana and its component parts. The pharmaceutical industry is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the medical marijuana movement. Any inroads the pharmaceutical industry makes in halting or rolling back the medical marijuana movement could have a detrimental impact on the market for our products and thus on our business, operations and financial condition. 

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. 

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. It is a schedule-I controlled substance. Even in those jurisdictions in which the use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, its prescription is a violation of federal law. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes. Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana trumps state laws that legalize its use for medicinal purposes. At present the states are standing tall against the federal government, maintaining existing laws and passing new ones in this area. This may be because the Obama administration has made a policy decision to allow states to implement these laws and not prosecute anyone operating in accordance with applicable state law. However, we face another presidential election cycle in 2016, and a new administration could introduce a less favorable policy. A change in the federal attitude towards enforcement could cripple the industry. While the Company is not insulated from economic risk if such a change were to occur, we believe that by virtue of the fact that, at least initially, it will not directly market, sell, or produce marijuana or marijuana related products, the Company and its investors should be insulated from federal prosecution or harassment. However, the medical marijuana industry is our primary target market, and if this industry was unable to operate, we would lose the majority of our potential clients, which would have a negative impact on our business, operations and financial condition.

Our clients may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for them to purchase our products and services. 

As discussed above, the use of marijuana is illegal under federal law. Therefore, there arebanks that will not accept for deposit funds from sale of cannabisand may choose not to do business with our clients. While a member of Congress has stated he will seek an amendment to banking regulations and laws in order to allow banks to transact business with state-authorized medical marijuana businesses, there can be no assurance his legislation will be successful, that banks will decide to do business with medical marijuana retailers, or that in the absence of legislation state and federal banking regulators will not create issues on banks handling funds generated from an activity that is illegal under federal law. The inability of potential clients in our target market to open accounts and otherwise use the service of banks may make it difficult for them to purchase our products and services. 

(9)

We may not be able to economically comply with any new government regulation that may be adopted with respect to the cannabis industry. 

New legislation or regulation, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the medical and consumer cannabis industries could add additional costs and risks to doing business. We are subject to regulations applicable to businesses generally and laws or regulations directly applicable to communications over the Internet and access to e-commerce. Although there are currently few laws and regulations regulating the cannabis products, it is reasonable to assume that cannabis use becomes more mainstream that the FDA and or other federal, state and local governmental agencies will impose regulations covering the cultivation, purity, privacy, quality control, security and many other aspects of the industry, all of which will likely raise the cost of compliance thereby reducing profits or even making it more difficult to continue operations, either of which scenarios, if they occur, could have negative impact on our business and operations. 

We may not be able to successfully compete in our 3D market, which are characterized by intense competition and the presence of large competitors and rapidly changing technology. 

Operating with relatively limited resources but more than we currently have, our former parent was unable to effectively compete in our target markets. Both the 3D Internet and medical marijuana business are characterized by intense competition, rapidly changing technology and increasing numbers of new market entrants who have developed or are developing potentially competitive products and services, often resulting in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Our 3D competitors include other enterprises utilizing 3D-based technology for online entertainment and marketing purposes, online and Internet service providers, online shopping malls, online direct music retailers, online music and book sites and traditional music retailers and our medical marijuana business faces competition from other consulting companies providing services in the medical marijuana industry. Most of our competitors in 3D Internet business have significantly greater financial and operating resources compared to us. Our ability to compete will be dependent on our ability to enhance and upgrade our technology platform in a timely manner and to effectively offer our target customers attractive and exciting 3D content and services, all of which require the expenditure of funds that we currently do not have. In addition, the very companies with which we do business, such as the larger Internet service providers and record labels, may determine to create and distribute their own 3D Internet sites. Similarly, our medical marijuana business is dependent upon our ability to obtain limited and highly prized licenses for our clients and increasing our management services.. If we are unable to overcome these obstacles, we will not be successful. 

We may not be able to develop and maintain marketing relationships with other Internet companies. 

Our strategy for expanding our 3D brand recognition through online advertising depends to some extent on our relationship with other Internet companies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate these agreements on favorable terms or at all. Additionally, other e-commerce and music-related sites, which advertise on popular web sites, may have exclusive advertising relationships with such sites or may otherwise object to our attempts to enter into marketing agreements or relationships with such sites. If we cannot secure or maintain these marketing agreements on favorable terms, our business prospects could be substantially harmed.

Our limited resources may restrict our ability to manage any growth we may experience. 

Growth of our business may place a significant strain on our management systems and resources and may require us to implement new operating and financial systems, procedures and controls. Our failure to manage our growth and expansion could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, with respect to our 3D business, our present technology backbone may not be adequate to accommodate rapid growth in user demand. Our inability to add additional hardware and software to upgrade our existing technology or network infrastructure to accommodate increased traffic may cause decreased levels of customer service and satisfaction. Failure to implement new systems effectively or within a reasonable period of time could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. 

(10)

In addition to our own technology, we use the technology of others in the creation of our products and we are dependent upon our continued ability to access these other technologies. 

Although our license to Worlds Inc.’s proprietary technology is the foundation of our 3D technology products, we also use the technology of other companies in the creation and delivery of our products. Accordingly, any delay or termination by any of these third-party providers in the provision of their technologies to us because of our failure, or perceived inability, to pay such vendors or otherwise could cause a disruption in the commercial distribution of our own products. Further, any material increases in the prices these providers charge us for use of their technologies could force us to increase the prices we charge for our own products or possibly make the creation and distribution of our products no longer economically feasible or desirable. We cannot assure you that any of these companies will continue to provide their technology to us in an efficient, timely and cost-effective manner. An interruption in, or termination of, our access to any necessary third party technologies, and our subsequent inability to make alternative arrangements in a timely manner, if at all, would likely have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. 

The market may not readily accept our products. 

Demand and market acceptance for our licensed branded new cannabis infused products and our 3D chat, are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The successful introduction of any new product requires a focused, efficient strategy to create awareness of and desire for the products. For example, in order to achieve market acceptance for our (i) MariMed products we will need to gain market and patient acceptance, and (ii) for our Worlds 3D chat sites, we will need to educate the members of the music industry, such as record companies, record labels and recording artists, about the marketing benefits this product could provide them. Similarly, we will have to make music buyers and Internet consumers aware of this product's existence, draw users to the site and compel them to return to the site for repeat visitations. 

Our marketing strategy may be unsuccessful and is subject to change as a result of a number of factors, including changes in market conditions (including the emergence of new market segments which in our judgment can be readily exploited through the use of our technology), the nature of possible license and distribution arrangements and strategic alliances which may become available to us in the future and general economic, regulatory and competitive factors. There can be no assurance that our strategy will result in successful product commercialization or that our efforts will result in initial or continued market acceptance for our proposed products. 

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may be able to use our technology or trademarks, which could weaken our competitive position. 

In addition to having to rely on Worlds Inc. protecting and expanding its patents, we rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We also intend to enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and customers, and control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. As a licensee of Worlds Inc.’s patents, we could become a party to litigation as a result of alleged infringement of others' intellectual property. These claims and any resulting lawsuits could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights.  

(11)

If we lose our key employee or fail to hire and retain other talented employees when necessary, our operations could be harmed. 

The success of our 3D business is currently dependent, in large part, on the personal efforts of Thomas Kidrin, our president and chief executive officer. The loss of Mr. Kidrin's services could have a material adverse effect on our 3D business and prospects. The success of our medical marijuana business is currently dependent, in large part, upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified management, marketing, technical, financial, and other personnel if and when our growth so requires. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to hire or retain such additional qualified personnel. Any inability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel would have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business and operations.

In order to be successful, we must be able to enhance our existing technology and products and develop and introduce new products and services to respond to changing market demand.  

The markets in which we operate are characterized by frequently changing customer demand and the introduction of new products, services and technologies. In order to be successful, we must be able to enhance our existing technology and products and develop and introduce new products and services to respond to changing market demand. The development and enhancement of services and products entails significant risks, including: 

• the inability to effectively adapt new technologies to our business;

• the failure to conform our services and products to evolving industry standards;

•  the inability to develop, introduce and market enhancements to our existing services and products or new services and products on a timely basis; and

• the non-acceptance by the market of such new service and products.

We currently have only limited resources to enhance our technology or to develop new products. 

We may not be able to economically comply with any new government regulation that may be adopted with respect to the Internet. 

New Internet legislation or regulation, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and e-commerce could add additional costs and risks to doing business on the Internet for our 3D business. We are subject to regulations applicable to businesses generally and laws or regulations directly applicable to communications over the Internet and access to e-commerce. Although there are currently few laws and regulations directly applicable to e-commerce, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, antitrust, taxation and characteristics and quality of products and services.

(12)

Legislation regarding privacy of personal information about users may affect our communities. 

We are subject to and must comply with data protection legislation which restricts our ability to collect and exploit users' personal data. Our business is particularly dependent on the existing and future data protection laws in the United States, Europe, and in each specific country where we operate or have members. European data protections legislation is drafted in very broad terms, and there are few sources of guidance as to its interpretation. It is difficult to foresee the extent to which its enforcement by relevant authorities will restrict our operations. We believe that a rigid interpretation of data protection legislation could hinder our ability to conduct our business as planned. Our failure to comply with applicable law could subject us to severe legal sanctions which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We maintain a privacy policy which is to not disclose individually identifiable information about any user of our products or services to a third party without the user's consent. Despite this policy, however, if third persons were able to penetrate our network security or otherwise misappropriate users' personal information, we could be subject to liability claims. 

We face potential liability for the content delivered over our sites. 

While we intend to acquire all licenses and other rights necessary to conduct our business without violating any copyrights, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so with our 3D business. Due to the nature of our business, we could become involved in litigation regarding the music, video and other content transmitted over our sites which could force us to incur significant legal defense costs, could result in substantial damage awards against us and could otherwise damage our brand name and reputation. 

In addition, because music materials may be downloaded from our sites and may be subsequently distributed to others, claims could be made against us for "pirating" and copyright or trademark infringement. Claims could also be made against us if material deemed inappropriate for viewing by children is accessed or accessible through our sites. While we intend to carry insurance policies to the limited extent we can afford them, if at all, our insurance may not cover these types of claims or may not be otherwise adequate to cover liability that may be imposed. Any partially or completely uninsured claim against us, if successful and of sufficient magnitude, would have a material adverse effect on us. 

Risks related to our common stock 

Possible issuances of our capital stock would cause dilution to our existing shareholders. 

While we currently have only approximately 64 million shares of common stock outstanding we are authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock. Therefore, we will be able to issue a substantial number of additional shares without obtaining shareholder approval. In the event we elect to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with any financing, acquisition or otherwise, current shareholders could find their holdings substantially diluted, which means they will own a smaller percentage of our company. In addition, we are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of blank preferred stock that our board of directors can issue under any terms it wants and without any shareholder approval. 

No dividends have been paid on our common stock. 

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the payment of cash dividends may be limited or prohibited by the terms of any future loan agreements. 

We are subject to "penny stock" regulations which may adversely impact the liquidity and price of our common stock. 

Our common stock is currently deemed a "penny stock." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information on penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally, those persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the value of their primary residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse), the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. 

These requirements could reduce the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of the foregoing, our shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. 

Presently, our 3D business operates out of offices in our president's residence at 11 Royal Road, Brookline, Massachusetts 02445, where we occupy approximately 800 square feet at no current expense, but we expect to pay rent once we have adequate funds generated by the 3D business. MariMed’s executive office is located at 26 Ossipee Road, Newton, MA 02464 and it currently pays an annual rent of $24,000. Both spaces are adequate for our present and our planned future operations. We have no written agreement or formal arrangement to continue our use of the space at either location but we believe we will be able to remain at both locations for at least the next 12 months. We have no current plans to occupy other or additional office space. Indirectly, through MariMed’s ownership of the single facility LLCs it establishes to finance and operate facilities, we have ownership interest in properties located in Delaware, and Illinois. These properties are used by State Licensed clients to cultivate and dispense cannabis products. We believe that each facility is currently adequate for its intended purpose and meets all current regulatory guidelines.  

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. 

None.

Overview 

We currently operate in two separate segments with one segment being a 3D entertainment portal which leverages its proprietary licensed technology to offer visitors a network of virtual, multi-user environments which we call "worlds" and the second segment being a management company in the medical cannabis industry operating through a subsidiary which we call MariMed. 

We were formed on January 25, 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.). Effective May 16, 2011 Worlds Inc. transferred to us the majority of its operations and related operational assets, except for its patent portfolio. Worlds Inc. has also given us a perpetual world-wide license to its patented technology. Pursuant to the license and we have the right to issue unlimited sublicenses to the licensed technology, subject to Worlds Inc.’s reasonable consent. 

The assets transferred to us include: Worlds Inc.’s technology platform, Worlds Chat, Aerosmith World, DMC Worlds, Cinema Virtual, Pearson contracts and related revenue, the following URLs: Worlds.com, Cybersexworld.com, Hang.com, and Worldsfunds.com, a digital inventory of over 10,000 3D objects, animation sequences, an extensive avatar library, texture maps and virtual world architectures. 

The transfer of assets occurred in the context of the spin-off by Worlds Inc. of its online and operational technologies businesses to us. The spin-off was effectuated by Worlds Inc. declaring a dividend of its shares of its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Worlds Online, Inc. with each share of Worlds Inc. to receive 1/3 of a share of Worlds Online with all fractional shares rounded up. Worlds Inc. did not want a trading market to develop for its shares until the SEC completed its review of its registration statement on Form 10. Accordingly, the actual distribution of the dividend did not occur until the payment date of March 12, 2012. Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Approximately 23,859,248 shares were issued as part of the dividend distribution and immediately following the distribution Worlds Inc. continued to own approximately 19.6% of our outstanding shares. Worlds Inc. intends to dispose of its stock in an orderly fashion into the open market or in private sales, in either case in ways designed not to impact the market, but in any event within five years of the dividend payment debt. While it holds any of our shares it will vote them in proportion to the votes by other stockholders. 

On May 19, 2014, Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MariMed”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a Massachusetts limited liability company, and the Members of Sigal (“Sellers”). The transaction closed on September 29, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company, through MariMed, acquired all of the assets of Sigal and the Sellers received the aggregate amount of (i) the Company’s common stock (WORX) equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date; (ii) three million options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which are exercisable over five years with various exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35 and (iii) 49% of MariMed’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company’s ownership of MariMed was reduced from 100% to 51%.

(17)

Revenues 

Revenues during 2016 were primarily generated by our cannabis consulting business with our 3D business contributing just a negligible amount.

With our acquisition of Sigal by our MariMed subsidiary, revenue was generated through participating in rental income from Real Estate LLC’s, interest income and management fees from medical marijuana Company clients and consulting agreements with services being performed during the period. MariMed enters into consulting agreements to help entities attain medical marijuana licenses and provides services in the development and management of state licensed medical marijuana facilities. Our professional management team has developed best practices and standard operating procedures for cultivation and dispensing of medical cannabis. We also enter into rental agreements whereby we purchase or sublease space which we then rent to medical marijuana companies who would otherwise not have the resources to finance their operations.

Our 3D business receives revenues from VIP membership fees, typically $2 - $6 per month, charged to users for either an enhanced avatar with additional virtual clothes and virtual goods or access to VIP only areas of the virtual World. To illustrate, in Worlds Inc. creation of Aerosmith World, only VIP members have access to Steven Tyler’s studio and his secret world, providing VIP members a greater opportunity to meet Mr. Tyler when he is online as well as mingle with other VIP guests and watch Aerosmith music videos in the VIP media lounge. Our 3D business can also potentially derive revenues from the entry into development agreement with clients in which a development, license and maintenance fee is paid for the creation and administration of a 3D virtual world to be offered to a select user base.

Our financial statements currently reflect an entry called “deferred revenue”. This is specific to the conversion of a note Worlds Inc. issued to Pearson PLC in 1996 in the initial face amount of $1,263,900. Pearson has agreed to forgive 50% of the note and convert the balance of the note into deferred revenue for products and services Worlds Inc. develops for Pearson in the form of virtual worlds for training and distant learning. Each product Worlds Inc. develops for Pearson has been reviewed and accepted by a senior Pearson executive as part of an ongoing internal sales and capabilities program between various divisions within Pearson. As part of the Spinoff we assumed this obligation and intend to continue to pay down the debt by providing additional products and services.

Expenses 

We classify our expenses into two broad groups: 

•   cost of revenues; and

•   selling, general and administration.

(18)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

MariMed borrowed $3.8 million dollars during the year ended December 31, 2016 in order to fund its business operations. We expect to continue to pursue additional sources of capital though we have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing at this time and there can be no assurance that any such financing will become available. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $3,564,120 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1,270,176. The revenue in 2016 and 2015 is attributable to our medical marijuana business was $3,563,502 and $1,269,378, respectively, and from our 3D business was $618 and $798, respectively. 

Year ended December 31, 2016 compared to year ended December 31, 2015 

Revenue increased by $2,293,944 to $3,564,120 for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $1,270,176 in the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 180%. The increase in the Company’s revenue is due to the implementation of MariMed’s business plan during 2016. 

Cost of revenue decreased by $215,079 to $1,351,742 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1,566,821 for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 14%. The decrease is primarily due to depreciation expense which is recorded as a cost of revenue. For 2015 certain property was being depreciated over the life of a lease but for 2016 the property was purchased extending the life of the property to be depreciated. 

Amortization of an intangible asset, the website was $366,667 for the year ended December 31, 2015. It was completely written off in 2015 resulting in no amortization of intangible asset for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Consulting expense was $146,346 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to consulting expense of $60,000 for the year ending December 31, 2015. 

Depreciation expense, which is classified as cost of goods sold, for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $265,746 compared to $839,336 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Decrease is due to the change in the number of years certain assets are being depreciated due to converting property from a lease to outright purchase as explained above. 

The research and development cost for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $93,106 compared to $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Selling general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $202,520 to $770,459 for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $567,939 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 36%.

Payroll and related decreased by $13,146 to $226,779 for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $239,925 for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 5%.

Other expenses include equity compensation expense, issuing warrants of $163,574 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to option expense of $45,946 to Directors and officers for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(19)

We had interest income of $56,502 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $56,145 for 2015, all of which is attributable to MariMed’s operations. 

We had interest expense of $347,335 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $206,563 for 2015. Interest expense is related to the convertible notes and mortgage.

We had an unrealized gain on trading securities of $702 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $480 for the year ended December 31, 2015. We had an unrealized loss on the market value of our investment in a publicly traded security of $434 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to a loss of $3,838 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The net income attributed to non-controlling interests was $520,017 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The net loss attributed to non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $631,569. 

As a result of the foregoing, for the year ended December 31, 2016 we had a net loss attributable to Worlds Online common shareholders of $198,852 compared to a loss of $1,215,334 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was $569,356 at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2015 we had cash and cash equivalents of $160,859. We had capital expenditures of $3,364,070 in 2016 compared to $3,048,776 in 2015.

In the year ended December 31, 2016, MariMed raised $2,865,112 from taking out a mortgage, $950,000 from issuing notes guaranteed by officers of MariMed. We raised $300,000 from issuing preferred stock in Worlds Online. We raised $206,157 from issuing Class A units in Mia Development We raised an additional $200,000 from issuing Class A units in Mari holdings MD.

In the year ended December 31, 2015, MariMed raised $1,200,000 from issuing notes guaranteed by officers of MariMed. We raised an additional $1,525,469 from issuing Class A units in Mia Development.

Additional funds will need to be raised in order for us to move forward with MariMed’s business plans. No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise any additional funds. 

(20)

2017 Plans 

During 2017, in addition to our efforts to increase sales in our existing MariMed operations we plan to attempt to expand our business by supporting more winning applications, management and turnkey solutions in the states of Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Nevada as well as increasing real estate income in Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts and Maryland. We also expect to launch our new licensed branded product line called Kalm Fusion, enter into strategic alliances and relationships, explore acquisition opportunities, develop additional products and continue to extend our focus in the  medical marijuana market through the growth of the Company’s existing sales channels and through a variety of  additional sales channel relationships which are currently being explored. 

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results. 

We do not expect significant revenues from our 3D operations. In the event we determine that continued operation of the 3D business is hampering our ability to grow and develop our medical marijuana business, we will explore various ways to separate the two businesses. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Inflation 

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements up to ASU 2015-16, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Worlds Online Inc. And Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Worlds Online Inc. And Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over consolidated financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over consolidated financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Worlds Online Inc. And Subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for two years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring operating losses, has an accumulated stockholders’ deficit, has negative working capital, has had minimal revenues from operations, and has yet to generate an internal cash flow that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WORLDS ONLINE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Description of Business

We currently operate in two separate segments with one segment being a 3D entertainment portal which leverages its proprietary licensed technology to offer visitors a network of virtual, multi-user environments which we call "worlds" and the second segment being a management company in the medical cannabis industry.

We were formed on January 25, 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.). Effective May 16, 2011 Worlds Inc. transferred to us the majority of its operations and related operational assets, except for its patent portfolio. Worlds Inc. has also given us a perpetual world-wide license to its patented technology. Pursuant to the license and we have the right to issue unlimited sublicenses to the licensed technology, subject to Worlds Inc.’s reasonable consent.

The assets transferred to us include: Worlds Inc.’s technology platform, Worlds Chat, Aerosmith World, DMC Worlds, Cinema Virtual, Pearson contracts and related revenue, the following URLs: Worlds.com, Cybersexworld.com, Hang.com, and Worldsfunds.com, a digital inventory of over 10,000 3D objects, animation sequences, an extensive avatar library, texture maps and virtual world architectures.

The transfer of assets occurred in the context of the spin-off by Worlds Inc. of its online and operational technologies businesses to us. The spin-off was effectuated by Worlds Inc. declaring a dividend of its shares of its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Worlds Online, Inc. with each share of Worlds Inc. to receive 1/3 of a share of Worlds Online with all fractional shares rounded up. Worlds Inc. did not want a trading market to develop for its shares until the SEC completed its review of its registration statement on Form 10. Accordingly, the actual distribution of the dividend did not occur until the payment date of March 12, 2012. Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Approximately 23,859,248 shares were issued as part of the dividend distribution and immediately following the distribution Worlds Inc. continued to own approximately 19.6% of our outstanding shares. Worlds Inc. intends to dispose of its stock in an orderly fashion into the open market or in private sales, in either case in ways designed not to impact the market, but in any event within five years of the dividend payment debt. While it holds any of our shares it will vote them in proportion to the votes by other stockholders.

On May 19, 2014, Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MariMed”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a Massachusetts limited liability company, and the Members of Sigal (“Sellers”). The transaction closed on September 29, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company, through MariMed, acquired all of the assets of Sigal and the Sellers received the aggregate amount of (i) the Company’s common stock (WORX) equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date; (ii) three million options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which are exercisable over five years with various exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35 and (iii) 49% of MariMed’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company’s ownership of MariMed was reduced from 100% to 51%.

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase acquisition/merger wherein the Company is both accounting acquirer and legal acquirer. Accordingly, the company recorded the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of the merger and the portion that the fair value of the common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Sigal was recorded as goodwill, which was subsequently impaired in full.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and marketing of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. We were not able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which had a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Trading Securities

Trading securities are common stock in publicly traded companies, one that was received as compensation for performing consulting services. The other was purchased as an investment. The carrying value of the investments is the market price of the shares at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Any unrealized gain or loss are recorded under other income/(expense) in the accompanying statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market instruments, which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has the following source of revenue: VIP subscriptions to our Worlds Ultimate 3-D Chat service and consulting and other revenues from MariMed. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonable assured. This will usually be in the form of a receipt of a customer’s acceptance indicating the product has been completed to their satisfaction except for development work and service revenue which is recognized when the services have been performed. Deferred revenue represents cash payments received in advance to be recorded as revenue when earned. The corresponding cost associated with those contracts is also deferred as deferred costs until the revenue is ultimately recognized.

Research and Development Costs 

Research and development costs will be charged to operations as incurred.

(29)

Intangible Asset - Websites 

The Company purchased several medical marijuana related websites in 2014. The websites cost were being amortized using the straight line method over a period of five years. It was determined that the websites were not generating a deal flow for us and was not generating any expected future economic benefit so the balance was written off at the end of 2015.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment will be stated at cost.   Depreciation will be provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income.  Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense in the period incurred.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: 

Level 1	Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2	Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3	Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. 

(30)

Accounts Payable Related Party

Accounts payable related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Inc. on our behalf for shared operating expenses.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents advance payments for the license, the design and development of the software, content and related technology for the creation of an interactive, 3D entertainment portal on the internet.

Extinguishment of liabilities

The Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with the guidance set forth in section 405-20 of the FASB ASC 405-20. Extinguishments of Liabilities When the conditions are met for the extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the extinguishment is recognized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Real estate tax escrow

Real estate tax escrow consists of funds held for the purpose of real estate taxes owed. These funds will be released as required to satisfy tax payments as due.

Rental properties

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 7 to 39 years. Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.

Upon the acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities (such as acquired below-market leases) and allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.

The Company’s rental properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to its consolidated financial statements.

The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment losses.

The Company has capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.

(31)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC (“ASC 740”). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. 

Related Party Transactions

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB ASC for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

(32)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB ASC which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.

Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. As of December 31, 2016, there were 9,250,000 options and 1,185,000 warrants whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2016. The options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share. 

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the technology industries, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel. The Company is also subject to risks arising from its medical marijuana related business inasmuch as marijuana is still a federally prohibited substance.

Acquisition

The fair value of the stock options was $569,682 measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the grant date, assuming approximately 1.56% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 311% volatility, and expected life of five years. The fair value of common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Sigal is recorded as goodwill, which was subsequently impaired in full.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amendment outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The new guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in GAAP. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements up to ASU 2015-16, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Worlds Online Inc. has a negative working capital, and has a negative stockholders deficit and negative cash flows from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to fully implement its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company is pursuing sources of additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing will likely have a material adverse effect on the Company, including possibly requiring the Company to reduce and/or cease operations. 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the periods ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The measurement valuation allowance increased by $77,552 and $293,232 during the 2016 and 2015 periods respectively.  

The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016 is as follows:

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of December 31, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; 

(ii)  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and 

(iii)  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Subject to the inherent limitations described in the following paragraph, our management has concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting was effective as December 31, 2016 at the reasonable assurance level. 

(41)

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, our internal controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

None.

Audit Committee 

We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Pursuant to Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of our financial statements. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee.  We have only recently begun operations, and we are not in a position at this time to attract, retain and compensate additional directors in order to acquire a director who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" or to so designate one of our current directors, but we intend to either retain an additional director who will qualify as such an expert or designate one of our current directors as such an expert, as soon as reasonably practicable. Our current directors, by virtue of their past employment experience, have considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and have significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, we believe that our current directors capably fulfill the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such a designated expert at this time. 

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethic (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to our principal chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.  A copy of the Code of Ethics was filed  as Exhibit 14.1 to a previous annual report. The Code of Ethics is being designed with the intent to deter wrongdoing, and to promote the following: 

• Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships

• Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Commission and in other public communications we make

• Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations

• The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code

• Accountability for adherence to the code

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and we are required to report, in this Form 10-K, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.  Except as disclosed below, we believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by its executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock. In making this statement, we have relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by us, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons that no Form 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership) was required to be filed under applicable rules of the Commission.  Each of our directors and other 5% owners did not timely file one Form 4.

Compensation of Directors 

The Board of Directors adopted a compensation program for the directors whereby each non-employee director will receive compensation in the form of stock options for serving on the board. Five-year non-qualified stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock are to be granted annually to each non-employee director then in office at an exercise price equal to the last reported trading price of our common stock on the date of issue, with such options to vest in 12 months, provided the director serves for at least six months, following the date of grant.  In addition, every non-employee director upon first joining our board receives 150,000 stock options that vest immediately and are exercisable for five years at a price equal to the last reported trading price of our common stock on that day. Persons becoming a non-employee director in the middle of a year will receive a pro rata amount of options. 

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation paid to each of our non-employee directors during 2015 for their services rendered as directors.  

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION 

Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($)		Stock Awards ($)		Option Awards ($) (1)		Total ($)
Robert Fireman		0		0		0		0
Bernard Stolar		0		0		0		0
Edward Gildea		0		0		0		0

(1) This column represents the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2016 fiscal year for the fair value of stock options granted to the named director in fiscal year 2016, in accordance with SFAS 123R. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. These amounts reflect our accounting expense for these awards, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized from these awards by the named director. No options were granted in 2016. The options earned by the directors will be issued in 2017.

(47)

Employment Agreements 

On August 30, 2012, the board of Worlds Online Inc. approved entry into an employment agreement with its president, Thom Kidrin.  The agreement, dated as of August 30, 2012 is for five years with a one-year renewal option held by Mr. Kidrin.  The agreement provides for a base salary of $175,000, which increases 10% on September 1 of each year; a monthly car allowance of $500; an annual bonus equal to 2.5% of Pre-Tax Income (as defined in the agreement); an additional bonus as follows: $75,000, if Pre-Tax Income for the year is between 150% and 200% of the prior fiscal year’s Pre-Tax Income or (B) $100,000, if Pre-Tax Income for the year is between 201% and 250% of the prior fiscal year’s Pre-Tax Income or (C) $200,000, if Pre-Tax Income for the year is 251% or greater than the prior fiscal year’s Pre-Tax Income, but in no event shall this additional bonus exceed five (5%) percent of Pre-Tax Income for such year; payment of up to $10,000 in life insurance premiums; options to purchase 4.5 million shares of Worlds Inc. common stock at an exercise price of  $0.01 per share, of which one-third vested on August 30, 2012, one-third vest on August 30, 2013 and the balance vested on August 30, 2014; a death benefit of at least $2 million dollars; and a payment equal to 2.99 times his base amount (as defined in the agreement) in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the agreement).  The agreement also provides that Mr. Kidrin can be terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement) and that he is subject to restrictive covenants for 12 months after termination.   

Stock Option Plan

On May 31, 2011, our board of directors adopted the 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan which plan was presented to, and approved by, our then sole stockholder, Worlds Inc. That approval notwithstanding, we intend to present the plan to our shareholders for their ratification at our next annual meeting.  The plan provides for the issuance of up to nine million options and/or shares of restricted stock of which not more than eight million can be incentive stock options.  To date, 6,250,000 options have been issued to Directors and officers under the plan.  

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation    

All of our officers and directors currently hold the same positions with our former parent, Worlds Inc, although as described elsewhere herein it was the intent that our current non-employee directors will only serve during a transition period not to exceed an additional 24 months, although this transition period may extend until such times as we can afford to attract and retain competent replacements. Worlds Inc. does not have a compensation committee and all of its directors perform the function of a compensation committee. Similarly, we too do not have a compensation committee and all of our directors perform the functions of a compensation committee, except that Mr. Kidrin, our president and CEO, does not participate in any deliberations with respect to his compensation and physically removes himself from the presence of the other directors while they deliberate over his compensation and bonuses. Accordingly, Mr. Kidrin, who is both our president and CEO and of Worlds Inc. may be deemed to fall within the parameters of a compensation committee interlock. To address this situation, as described above, Mr. Kidrin recuses himself from all deliberations of the board with respect to his compensation.

All directors and executive officers as a group (five persons)		14,162,1242	(8)		20.1	%

(1) Unless stated otherwise, the business address for each person named is c/o Worlds Online Inc., 11 Royal Road, Brookline, MA 02445

(2) Calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d) (1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Rule 13d-3(d), shares not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the number and percentage owned by a person, but not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage owned by each other person listed. We believe that each individual or entity named has sole investment and voting power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them (subject to community property laws where applicable) and except where otherwise noted.

(3) Worlds Inc, intends to dispose of its stock in an orderly fashion into the open market or in private sales, in either case in ways designed not to impact the market, but in any event within five years. While it holds any shares it will vote them in proportion to the votes by other stockholders.

(4) Includes 4.5 million currently exercisable stock options. Due to the size of Mr. Kidrin’s holdings and his position with the company, the stock certificates representing Mr. Kidrin’s shares will carry restrictive legends indicating that all of his shares are subject to restrictions on transferability.

(5) Includes 600,000 currently exercisable stock options.

(6) Includes 400,000 currently exercisable stock options.

(7) Consists of currently exercisable stock options.

(8) Includes 6,250,000 currently exercisable stock options.

(49)

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. 

We are not currently subject to the requirements of any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system with respect to having a majority of “independent directors” although we believe that we meet that standard inasmuch as Messrs. Stolar and Gildea are “independent” and Mr. Kidrin, Mr. Fireman and Mr. Levine are not independent. Although we are not currently subject to such rule, the independence of our directors meets the definition of such term as contained in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).  

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Fees Billed For Audit and Non-Audit Services

The following table represents the aggregate fees billed for professional audit services rendered to the independent auditor, L&L CPAS P.A. (“L&L”), for our audit of the annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. L&L (then operating under its previous name) was retained as our auditor in May 2011. Audit fees and other fees of auditors are listed as follows:  

Year Ended December 31	2016				2015
	L&L				L&L
Audit Fees (1)	$	13,900	(2	)	$	13,900
Audit-Related Fees (4)		0				0
Tax Fees (5)		9,000				9,000
All Other Fees (6)		0				0
Total Accounting Fees and Services	$	22,900			$	22,900

(1)	Audit Fees. These are fees for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements, and for the review of the financial statements included in our filings on Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(2)	The amounts shown for L&L in 2016 and 2015 relate to (i) the audit of our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and (ii) the review of the financial statements included in our filings on Form 10-Q for the quarters of 2016 and 2015.
(3)	Audit-Related Fees. These are fees for the assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of our financial statements.
(4)	Tax Fees. These are fees for professional services with respect to tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
(5)	All Other Fees. These are fees for permissible work that does not fall within any of the other fee categories, i.e., Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, or Tax Fees.

Pre-Approval Policy For Audit and Non-Audit Services

We do not have a standing audit committee, and the full Board performs all functions of an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before we engage an accountant. All of the services rendered to us by L&L CPAS P.A. were pre-approved by our Board of Directors.

We are presently working with our legal counsel to establish formal pre-approval policies and procedures for future engagements of our accountants. The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that our new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditor's engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the President or Controller, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services, provided that the estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditor's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS & SUMMARY OF ACCTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Description of Business

We currently operate in two separate segments with one segment being a 3D entertainment portal which leverages its proprietary licensed technology to offer visitors a network of virtual, multi-user environments which we call "worlds" and the second segment being a management company in the medical cannabis industry.

We were formed on January 25, 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.). Effective May 16, 2011 Worlds Inc. transferred to us the majority of its operations and related operational assets, except for its patent portfolio. Worlds Inc. has also given us a perpetual world-wide license to its patented technology. Pursuant to the license and we have the right to issue unlimited sublicenses to the licensed technology, subject to Worlds Inc.’s reasonable consent.

The assets transferred to us include: Worlds Inc.’s technology platform, Worlds Chat, Aerosmith World, DMC Worlds, Cinema Virtual, Pearson contracts and related revenue, the following URLs: Worlds.com, Cybersexworld.com, Hang.com, and Worldsfunds.com, a digital inventory of over 10,000 3D objects, animation sequences, an extensive avatar library, texture maps and virtual world architectures.

The transfer of assets occurred in the context of the spin-off by Worlds Inc. of its online and operational technologies businesses to us. The spin-off was effectuated by Worlds Inc. declaring a dividend of its shares of its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Worlds Online, Inc. with each share of Worlds Inc. to receive 1/3 of a share of Worlds Online with all fractional shares rounded up. Worlds Inc. did not want a trading market to develop for its shares until the SEC completed its review of its registration statement on Form 10. Accordingly, the actual distribution of the dividend did not occur until the payment date of March 12, 2012. Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Approximately 23,859,248 shares were issued as part of the dividend distribution and immediately following the distribution Worlds Inc. continued to own approximately 19.6% of our outstanding shares. Worlds Inc. intends to dispose of its stock in an orderly fashion into the open market or in private sales, in either case in ways designed not to impact the market, but in any event within five years of the dividend payment debt. While it holds any of our shares it will vote them in proportion to the votes by other stockholders.

On May 19, 2014, Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MariMed”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a Massachusetts limited liability company, and the Members of Sigal (“Sellers”). The transaction closed on September 29, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company, through MariMed, acquired all of the assets of Sigal and the Sellers received the aggregate amount of (i) the Company’s common stock (WORX) equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date; (ii) three million options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which are exercisable over five years with various exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35 and (iii) 49% of MariMed’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company’s ownership of MariMed was reduced from 100% to 51%.

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase acquisition/merger wherein the Company is both accounting acquirer and legal acquirer. Accordingly, the company recorded the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of the merger and the portion that the fair value of the common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Sigal was recorded as goodwill, which was subsequently impaired in full.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and marketing of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. We were not able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which had a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Trading Securities

Trading securities are common stock in publicly traded companies, one that was received as compensation for performing consulting services. The other was purchased as an investment. The carrying value of the investments is the market price of the shares at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Any unrealized gain or loss are recorded under other income/(expense) in the accompanying statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market instruments, which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has the following source of revenue: VIP subscriptions to our Worlds Ultimate 3-D Chat service and consulting and other revenues from MariMed. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonable assured. This will usually be in the form of a receipt of a customer’s acceptance indicating the product has been completed to their satisfaction except for development work and service revenue which is recognized when the services have been performed. Deferred revenue represents cash payments received in advance to be recorded as revenue when earned. The corresponding cost associated with those contracts is also deferred as deferred costs until the revenue is ultimately recognized.

Research and Development Costs 

Research and development costs will be charged to operations as incurred. 

Intangible Asset - Websites 

The Company purchased several medical marijuana related websites in 2014. The websites cost were being amortized using the straight line method over a period of five years. It was determined that the websites were not generating a deal flow for us and was not generating any expected future economic benefit so the balance was written off at the end of 2015.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment will be stated at cost.   Depreciation will be provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income.  Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense in the period incurred.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: 

Level 1	Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2	Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3	Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. 

Accounts Payable Related Party

Accounts payable related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Inc. on our behalf for shared operating expenses.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents advance payments for the license, the design and development of the software, content and related technology for the creation of an interactive, 3D entertainment portal on the internet.

Extinguishment of liabilities

The Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with the guidance set forth in section 405-20 of the FASB ASC 405-20. Extinguishments of Liabilities When the conditions are met for the extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the extinguishment is recognized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Real estate tax escrow

Real estate tax escrow consists of funds held for the purpose of real estate taxes owed. These funds will be released as required to satisfy tax payments as due.

Rental properties

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 7 to 39 years. Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.

Upon the acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities (such as acquired below-market leases) and allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.

The Company’s rental properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to its consolidated financial statements.

The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment losses.

The Company has capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC (“ASC 740”). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

Related Party Transactions

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB ASC for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB ASC which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.

Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. As of December 31, 2016, there were 9,250,000 options and 1,185,000 warrants whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2016. The options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the technology industries, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel. The Company is also subject to risks arising from its medical marijuana related business inasmuch as marijuana is still a federally prohibited substance.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Acquisition

On September 29, 2014 our wholly-owned subsidiary, MariMed Advisors Inc. ("MariMed"), acquired all of the outstanding assets of Sigal Consulting LLC ("Sigal") from its members, The purchase price consisted of 31,954,236 shares of the Company's common stock, 3 million five-year options to purchase additional shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $0.15 - $0.35 per share and which vest over two years and 49% of MariMed's outstanding equity. The fair value of the common stock issued was $5,911,534 determined by the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the closing date, at a price of approximately $0.185 per share. The fair value of the stock options was $569,682 measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the grant date, assuming approximately 1.56% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 311% volatility, and expected life of five years. The fair value of common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Sigal is recorded as goodwill, which was subsequently impaired in full. Two of the owners of Sigal, Robert Fireman and Jon Levine are directors of the Company.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. The Company raised $1,600,000 in March by issuing 7,978,888 shares of common stock to accredited investors at a price per share between $0.18 per share and $0.25 per share.

The Company also voted to approve authorizing up to 500 million shares of common stock and 50 million shares of preferred stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amendment outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The new guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in GAAP. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements up to ASU 2015-16, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Worlds Online Inc. has a negative working capital, and has a negative stockholders deficit and negative cash flows from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to fully implement its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company is pursuing sources of additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing will likely have a material adverse effect on the Company, including possibly requiring the Company to reduce and/or cease operations. 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES 

At December 31, 2016, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $3,020,372 that expire in 2037. 

Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the periods ended December 31, 2016 or 2015. 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes. 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2016 consists of a net operating loss calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $1,403,000 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $1,403,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The measurement valuation allowance increased by $77,552 and $293,232 during the 2016 and 2015 periods respectively.  

The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016 is as follows:

Deferred tax asset – gross	$	1,403,000
Valuation allowance		(1,403,000	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	—

Description of Business

Description of Business

We currently operate in two separate segments with one segment being a 3D entertainment portal which leverages its proprietary licensed technology to offer visitors a network of virtual, multi-user environments which we call "worlds" and the second segment being a management company in the medical cannabis industry.

We were formed on January 25, 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worlds Inc. (formerly known as Worlds.com Inc.). Effective May 16,2011 WorldsInc.transferredtousthemajorityofitsoperationsandrelatedoperationalassets,exceptforitspatentportfolio. Worlds Inc. has also given us a perpetual world-wide license to its patented technology. Pursuant to the license and we have the right to issueunlimited sublicenses tothelicensedtechnology,subjecttoWorldsInc.’sreasonable consent.

The assets transferred to us include: Worlds Inc.’s technology platform, Worlds Chat, Aerosmith World, DMC Worlds, Cinema Virtual, Pearson contracts and related revenue, the following URLs: Worlds.com, Cybersexworld.com, Hang.com, and Worldsfunds.com, a digital inventory of over 10,000 3D objects, animation sequences, an extensive avatar library, texture maps and virtual world architectures.

The transferofassetsoccurredinthecontextofthespin-offbyWorldsInc.ofitsonlineandoperationaltechnologiesbusinessestous. The spin-off was effectuated by Worlds Inc. declaring a dividend of its shares of its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Worlds Online, Inc. with each share of Worlds Inc. to receive 1/3 of a share of Worlds Online with all fractionalsharesroundedup.WorldsInc.didnotwantatradingmarkettodevelopforitssharesuntiltheSECcompleteditsreviewof its registration statement on Form 10. Accordingly, the actual distribution of the dividend did not occur until the payment date of March 12, 2012. Our stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Approximately 23,859,248 shares were issued as part of the dividend distribution and immediately following the distribution Worlds Inc. continued to own approximately 19.6% of our outstanding shares.

On May 19, 2014, Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MariMed”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a Massachusetts limited liability company, and the Members of Sigal (“Sellers”). The transaction closed on September 29, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company, through MariMed, acquired all of the assets of Sigal and the Sellers received the aggregate amount of (i) the Company’s common stock (WORX) equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the Closing Date; (ii) three million options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which are exercisable over five years with various exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35 and (iii) 49% of MariMed’s outstanding common stock. As a result, the Company’s ownership of MariMed was reduced from 100% to 51%.

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase acquisition/merger wherein the Company is both accounting acquirer and legal acquirer. Accordingly, the company recorded the assets purchased and liabilities assumed as part of the merger and the portion that the fair valueofthecommonstockissuedandoptionsgrantedforacquisitionoverthebookvalueofSigalwasrecordedasgoodwill, which was subsequently impaired infull.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financialstatementshave beenprepared inconformitywithaccountingprinciplesgenerally acceptedin theUnited States of America ("US GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and marketing of its products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. We were not able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing whichhadamaterialadverseeffecton our ability to grow our business. These factors raisesubstantialdoubt abouttheCompany'sabilitytocontinueasagoingconcern.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Trading Securities

Trading Securities

Trading securities are common stock in publicly traded companies, one that was received as compensation for performing consulting services. The other was purchased as an investment. The carrying value of the investments is the market price of the shares at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Any unrealized gain or loss are recorded under other income/(expense) in the accompanying statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market instruments, which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company has the following source of revenue: VIP subscriptions to our Worlds Ultimate 3-D Chat service and consulting and other revenues from MariMed. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonable assured. This will usually be in the form of a receipt of a customer’s acceptance indicating the product has been completed to their satisfaction except for development work and service revenue which is recognized when the services have been performed. Deferred revenue represents cash payments received in advance to be recorded as revenue when earned. The corresponding cost associated with those contracts is also deferred as deferred costs until the revenue is ultimately recognized.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs 

Research and development costs will be charged to operations as incurred.

Intangible Asset - Websites

Intangible Asset - Websites

The Company purchased several medical marijuana related websites in 2014. The websites cost were being amortized using the straight line method over a period of five years. It was determined that the websites were not generating a deal flow for us and was not generating any expected future economic benefit so the balance was written off at the end of 2015.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment will be stated at cost.   Depreciation will be provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income.  Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense in the period incurred.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below: 

Level 1	Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2	Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3	Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. 

Accounts Payable Related Party

Accounts Payable Related Party

Accounts payable related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Inc. on our behalf for shared operating expenses.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents advance payments for the license, the design and development of the software, content and related technology for the creation of an interactive, 3D entertainment portal on the internet.

Extinguishment of liabilities

Extinguishment of liabilities

The Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with the guidance set forth in section 405-20 of the FASB ASC 405-20. Extinguishments of Liabilities When the conditions are met for the extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the extinguishment is recognized.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Real estate escrow

Real estate tax escrow

Real estate tax escrow consists of funds held for the purpose of real estate taxes owed. These funds will be released as required to satisfy tax payments as due.

Rental properties

Rental properties

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 7 to 39 years. Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.

Upon the acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities (such as acquired below-market leases) and allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.

The Company’s rental properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to its consolidated financial statements.

The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not record any impairment losses.

The Company has capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC (“ASC 740”). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

Related Party Transactions

Related Party Transactions

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB ASC for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances,andothersimilaritemsintheordinarycourseofbusiness.However,disclosureoftransactionsthatareeliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwiseapparent,thetermsandmannerofsettlement.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB ASC which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.

Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. As of December 31, 2016, there were 9,250,000 options and 1,185,000 warrants whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2016. The options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

Risk and Uncertainties

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the technology industries, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel. The Company is also subject to risks arising from its medical marijuana related business inasmuch as marijuana is still a federally prohibited substance.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Acquisition

Acquisition

On September 29, 2014 our wholly-owned subsidiary, MariMed Advisors Inc. ("MariMed"), acquired all of the outstanding assets of Sigal Consulting LLC ("Sigal") from its members, The purchase price consisted of 31,954,236 shares of the Company's common stock, 3 million five-year options to purchase additional shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $0.15 - $0.35 per share and which vest over two years and 49% of MariMed's outstanding equity. The fair value of the common stock issued was $5,911,534 determined by the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the closing date, at a price of approximately $0.185 per share. The fair value of the stock options was $569,682 measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the grant date, assuming approximately 1.56% risk-free interest, 0% dividend yield, 311% volatility, and expected life of five years. The fair value of common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Sigal is recorded as goodwill, which was subsequently impaired in full. Two of the owners of Sigal, Robert Fireman and Jon Levine are directors of the Company.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. The Company raised $1,600,000 in March by issuing 7,978,888 shares of common stock to accredited investors at a price per share between $0.18 per share and $0.25 per share.

The Company also voted to approve authorizing up to 500 million shares of common stock and 50 million shares of preferred stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amendment outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The new guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in GAAP. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements up to ASU 2015-16, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
