PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

On March 31, 2011, it was announced that our board had determined it would be in the best interest of our shareholders to transfer all of our online and operational technologies to our subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc. The assets were transferred as of May 16, 2011 and included: Worlds’ technology platform, Worlds Ultimate Chat, Aerosmith World, DMC Worlds, Cinema Virtual, Pearson contracts and related revenue, 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.

Worlds Inc. has retained all of its related Intellectual Property (IP) consisting of the nine existing patents, 6,219,045; 7,181,690; 7,493,558; 7,945,856; 8,082,501; 8,145,998; 8,161,385, 8,407,592 and 8,640,028 and all continuance claims currently before the USPTO including any to be filed going forward.

We intend to endeavor to prosecute our issued patents and any future issued patents against all parties that the company and our legal counsel believe to be infringing on said patents.

Enforcement actions are subject to the analysis of all relevant prior art and the costs associated with litigation.

We may also seek to acquire additional patents we believe will enhance our portfolio position in the markets within which our existing patents cover.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our ability to prosecute our IP portfolio or that we will be able to acquire additional patents.

As of December 31, 2016, we own an approximately 9.3% equity interest in Worlds Online.

On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense its patented technologies.

Before the spin-off, Worlds was a leading 3D entertainment portal which leveraged its proprietary technology, which we retained through our patent portfolio, to offer visitors a network of virtual, multi-user environments which we call "worlds". These 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 the overall business strategy, we design and develop software, content and related technology for the creation of interactive, three-dimensional ("3D") Internet web sites. Using our technology, we created 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 sites are 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.

Recent developments

From January through April 2016 we issued seven Promissory Notes totaling $290,000.

The promissory notes carry a 6% annual interest rate and are payable upon the earlier of (a) 24 months from the date of the promissory notes or (b) the Company reaching a settlement(s) on a patent infringement claim(s) and receiving an aggregate of at least $2 million net proceeds from such settlement(s). 

The holders of the promissory notes shall receive repayment in the full face amount of the notes from the initial $500,000 the Company actually receives from the net proceeds of its patent infringement claim(s) or from the net proceeds of a public offering. In addition, the holders shall receive a preferred return (i) in an amount equal to up to 200% of the initial face amount of the notes out of available cash by sharing with all other investors in this series of notes in the allocation of 50% of the available cash received by the Company from $2M - $4M and (ii) in an amount equal to up to 100% of the initial face amount of the notes out of available cash by sharing with all other investors in this series of notes in the allocation of 25% of the available cash received by the Company from $4M - $6M. In other words, if the Company collects $6M in the net proceeds of available cash, the holder will receive a return equal to 400% of its investment.

On March 24, 2016 we filed a preliminary proxy with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval of, among other things, increasing our authorized common shares from 150 Million shares to 250 Million shares and to implement a reverse split in the range of 1:2 - 1:20.

In December 2016, 10,600,000 warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $0.012 per share raising $127,200. In January 2017 an additional 24,400,000 warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $0.012 per share raising $292,800.

Our Technology

We used our technology to produce three-dimensional portals and web sites. 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 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).

Our core technology has substantial elements written in Sun Microsystem's programming language, 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: WorldsShaper is the visual authoring component of our platform. It allows for quick assembly of pieces to create multi-user, shared state, virtual worlds. The WorldsShaper is an advanced compositing 3D building tool that integrates pre-existing or custom content, such as 3D models, textures or images created in Adobe's Photoshop, or midi or wave sound files, with architectural geometry and interactive behaviors and actions written in Java. The architectural building blocks for creating 3D worlds, the flexibility and power of integrating professional modeling and imaging tools, and the extensibility via Java make the WorldsShaper a tool well-suited for rapid creation of 3D environments.

• WorldsServer: WorldsServer is the scalable software that we use to control and operate our on-line virtual communities. WorldsServer manages the registration and authentication of users, the locations of users within the 3D environment, the physical structure of the 3D environment, all information regarding objects that are "shared" by the participants and any of the interactions between the users such as text chat. This platform also integrates an HTTP server for the delivery of other content such as audio and video streaming and secure e-commerce applications.

• WorldsBrowser: WorldsBrowser is used to access the 3D environments. The browser is optimized for speed, delivering relatively fast frame rates per second in highly textured virtual 3D worlds.

•   WorldsPlayer™: The WorldsPlayer allows users to view and experience our multi-user, interactive technology. Any world created with the WorldsShaper will be viewable and navigable with the WorldsPlayer. The WorldsPlayer has a high frame rate for fast, quality graphics, an easy-to-use graphic user interface, 2D web browser integration, automatic upgrade capability over the internet and a complete communication tool set including text chat, voice-to-voice chat, e-mail and animation.

•   Worlds Gamma Libraries: The Worlds Gamma Libraries are composed of sample worlds, textures, models, avatars, actions, sensors, sounds, motion sequences, and other behaviors.

Our Strategy

Worlds Inc. will be focused solely on expanding our patent portfolio and to enforce our rights where it believes parties are infringing on its IP portfolio.

We have contracted to Worlds Online Inc. a perpetual world-wide license to our patented technology. Pursuant to the license, Worlds Online has the right to issue unlimited sublicenses to the licensed technology, subject to our reasonable consent. The sublicenses are subject to a revenue share negotiated between the two Companies.

Competition

Since all operations were transferred to Worlds Online and our business is now the expansion of our patented technology, the Company does not have any direct competition as it did in the past. However, inasmuch as we believe that multi-user, interactive 3D is becoming a “hot” area, we expect other companies, many with far more resources than us, to move into this space.

Currently, there are many companies collaborating to establish standardization of 3D usage on the Internet, the adoption of which may require changes to our technology.

Intellectual Property

U.S. Patents: Worlds has been granted U.S patent 6,219,045, 7,181,690, 7,493,558, 7,945,856, 8,082,501, 8,145,998, 8,161,385, 8,407,592 and 8,640,028 for multi-server technology for 3D applications, which is our core technology.  We are now looking into the implications and breadth of the patent in order to maximize its benefits.  The description of the initial patent is as follows:

"The present invention provides a highly scalable architecture for a three dimensional, multi-user, interactive virtual world system.  In a preferred embodiment a plurality of users interact in the three-dimensional, computer-generated graphical space where each user executes a client process to view a virtual world from the perspective of that user.  The virtual world shows Avatars representing the other users who are neighbors of the user viewing the virtual world.  In order that the view can be updated to reflect the motion of the remote user's Avatar, motion information is transmitted to a central server process that provides position updates to client processes for neighbors of the user at that client process.  The client process also uses an environment database to determine which background objects to render as well as to limit the number of displayable Avatars to a maximum number of Avatars displayable by that client."

Trademark: Worldsplayer - The WorldsPlayer 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.  Utilizing the WorldsPlayer, a user assumes a persona (via a digital actor, or Avatars), and can then move, view, chat, play, express one's self via gestures and animations, voice chat, send email, join discussion groups, listen to music, shop at Worlds 3D stores, and watch videos, all in the company of users from around the world, within the 3D environment.  The WorldsPlayer boasts high frame rate for fast, high quality graphics, an easy to use graphic user interface, seamless 2D Web browser integration, auto-upgrade capability over the Internet, and a complete communication tool set including chat, voice-to-voice chat, email and animation. The WorldsPlayer offers users the unique and creative experience of customizing their Avatars, while maintaining the ability to animate and activate their Avatars.

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

(6)

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we had one full time employee, our president, Thomas Kidrin, who divided his time between us and Worlds Online Inc.

Corporate History

We were formed as a result of the contemporaneous mergers on December 3, 1997 of Worlds Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on April 26, 1994 with and into Worlds Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation formed on April 8, 1997 and of Worlds Acquisition Corp. with and into Academic Computer Systems, Inc., a New Jersey corporation formed on May 20, 1968 (the "Mergers"). Academic Computer Systems changed its name to Worlds Inc. after the Mergers. In December 1999, we changed our name from Worlds Inc. to Worlds.com Inc. in order to better reflect our business as a consumer Internet web site that offers virtual "worlds" in which consumers interact, conduct e-commerce and receive entertainment. 

The Company created a wholly-owned subsidiary named Worlds Online Inc. on January 25, 2011. On May 16, 2011, Worlds Inc. transferred to Worlds Online Inc. the majority of its operations and related operational assets, except for its patent portfolio.

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 from our patent litigation and are also unable to obtain capital from other resources, we will significantly curtail our operations or halt them entirely. 

Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. Historically, we have been dependent on financings to fund our development and working capital needs. As of December 31, 2016, we had only limited cash or cash equivalents. Accordingly, if we do not develop sources of revenues from our patent portfolio, 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. 

Since inception we have incurred significant net losses as set forth in the financial information included herein. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for at least the short-term. We will not achieve profitable operations until we successfully develop sources of revenues from our patent portfolio or generate revenues from other sources that are sufficient to offset our operating costs. 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 have a relatively new business strategy with a limited operating history. 

We have been actively engaged in the business of being an IP company for a relatively short period of time and, accordingly, have only limited financial results on which you can evaluate our company and its new operations. We are subject to, and have not been 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; and 

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

(8)

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. Failure to implement new systems effectively or within a reasonable period of time could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

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 our 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. 

We cannot guarantee that the patents issued to us will be broad enough to provide any meaningful protection nor can we assure you that one of our competitors may not develop more effective technologies, designs or methods without infringing our intellectual property rights or that one of our competitors might not design around our proprietary technologies.

If we are not able to protect our proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how, our competitors may use our inventions to develop competing products. We own certain patents relating to the multi-user 3D technology. However, these patents may not protect us against our competitors, and patent litigation is very expensive. We may not have sufficient cash available to pursue any patent litigation to its conclusion because currently we do not generate revenues.

We cannot rely solely on our current patents to be successful. The standards that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent office's use to grant patents, and the standards that U.S. and foreign courts use to interpret patents, are not the same and are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change, particularly as new technologies develop. As such, the degree of patent protection obtained in the U.S. may differ substantially from that obtained in various foreign countries. In some instances, patents have been issued in the U.S. while substantially less or no protection has been obtained in Europe or other countries.

We cannot be certain of the level of protection, if any that will be provided by our patents if we attempt to enforce them and they are challenged in court where our competitors may raise defenses such as invalidity, unenforceability or possession of a valid license. In addition, the type and extent of any patent claims that may be issued to us in the future are uncertain. Any patents which are issued may not contain claims that will permit us to stop competitors from using similar technology.

(9)

We may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights.

Third parties have, and others may, challenge the validity of our patents and other intellectual property rights, resulting in costly litigation or other time-consuming and expensive proceedings, which could deprive us of valuable rights. If we become involved in any intellectual property litigation, interference or other judicial or administrative proceedings, we may incur substantial expenses and the diversion of financial resources and technical and management personnel. An adverse determination may subject us to significant liabilities or require us to seek licenses that may not be available from third parties on commercially favorable terms, if at all. Further, if such claims are proven valid, through litigation or otherwise, we may be required to pay substantial financial damages, which can be tripled if the infringement is deemed willful, or be required to discontinue or significantly delay development, marketing, selling and licensing of the affected products and intellectual property rights.

Our competitors may have filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering technology similar to ours. There may be third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our potential products that may block or compete with our products or processes. If another party has filed a United States patent application on inventions similar to ours, we may have to participate in an interference proceeding declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention in the United States. The costs of these proceedings could be substantial, and it is possible that such efforts would be unsuccessful, resulting in a loss of our United States patent position with respect to such inventions. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would prevail in any of these suits or that the damages or other remedies if any, awarded against us would not be substantial. Claims of intellectual property infringement may require us to enter into royalty or license agreements with third parties that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We may also become subject to injunctions against the further development and use of our technology, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.

If we lose any of our key personnel or fail to hire and retain other talented employees, our operations could be harmed. 

Our success 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 business and prospects. Our success is also dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified management, marketing, technical, financial, and other personnel, if and when our business grows. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to hire or retain 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. 

(10)

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. 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. 

Risks related to our common stock

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

While we currently have 246,023,331 shares of common stock outstanding, we are authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock. 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. There are also 5 million shares of preferred stock that the board can issue under any terms it wants and without any shareholder approval. In the event the shareholders approve the Company’s proposals to increase the authorized capital and/or a reverse split, the risk described above will be heightened even more.

Certain shareholders control a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock. 

Our chief executive officer owns a significant portion of the outstanding shares of our common stock and Mr. Kidrin may be issued an additional 7.5 million shares of our common stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options. Accordingly, he will be able to influence the election of our directors and thereby influence or direct our policies. 

No dividends have been paid on our common stock. 

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and 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 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. 

(11)

The exercise or conversion of outstanding options into common stock will dilute the percentage ownership of our other shareholders. The sale of such common stock or other common stock in the open market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. 

As of February 15, 2017, there are outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 9,050,000  shares of our common stock and more options and warrants will likely be granted in the future to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. No warrants are outstanding as of February 15, 2017. The exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and conversion of notes will dilute the percentage ownership of our other shareholders. Sales, or the expectation of sales, of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of our stock options, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

We do not own any property nor do we have any contracts or options to acquire any property in the future. Presently, we are operating out of offices in our president's residence at 11 Royal Road, Brookline, Massachusetts 02445, where we occupy approximately 800 square feet.  This space is adequate for our present and our planned future operations. We currently pay no rent to our president for use of this space, although when funds are available we may do so in the future. In addition we have no written agreement or formal arrangement with our president pertaining to the use of this space. We have no current plans to occupy other or additional office space.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Federal case before Judge Denise Casper has been stayed pending the outcome of the IPR appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”).

On May 26, 2015, Bungie, Inc. filed three Petitions for Inter Partes Review with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”), and specifically, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”). These Petitions for Inter Partes Review, Case Nos. IPR2015-01264, -01268, and -01269 respectively contained validity challenges of three U.S. patents assigned to the Company. On June 1, 2015, Bungie, Inc. filed three additional Petitions for Inter Partes Review with the USPTO, and specifically the PTAB. The Petition for Inter Partes Review, Case No. IPR201501319 contained validity challenges of one additional U.S. patent assigned to the Company. The Petitions for Inter Partes Review, Case Nos. IPR2015-01321 and 01325 contained validity challenges of one additional U.S. patent assigned to the Company. In each Inter Partes Review, Bungie, Inc. was asking the PTAB to cancel issued claims from the Company’s patents.

Our firm was engaged as the Company’s legal counsel to represent the Company before the USPTO with regard to these six Petitions for Inter Partes Review, Case Nos. IPR2015-01264, -01268, -01269, -01319, -01321, and -01325, instituted against the five U.S. patents assigned to the Company. The Company vigorously contested each Inter Partes Review.

On November 10, 2016, the PTAB issued its final written decision in IPR201501264, canceling claim 1 of Company’s U.S. Patent No. 7,945,856.

On November 30, 2016, the PTAB issued its final written decision in IPR201501268, canceling claims 1-3, 5-7, 10-12, 14, 15, 17, and 19 of Company’s U.S. Patent No. 7,181,690. Of the claims reviewed, the PTAB did not cancel claims 4, 8, 13, and 16. 

On November 28, 2016, the PTAB issued its final written decision in IPR201501269, canceling claims 4, 6, 8, and 9 of Company’s U.S. Patent No. 7,493,558. Of the claims reviewed, the PTAB did not cancel claims 5 and 7.

On December 6, 2016, the PTAB issued its final written decision in IPR201501319, canceling claims 1-8, 10, 12, and 14-16 of Company’s U.S. Patent No. 8,082,501.

On November 28, 2016, the PTAB issued its final written decision in IPR201501321, canceling claims 1-3, 7, 8, 12-18, and 20 of Company’s U.S. Patent No. 8,145,998.

On November 28, 2016, the PTAB issued its final written decision in IPR201501325, canceling claims 1 and 20 of Company’s U.S. Patent No. 8,145,998. Of the claims reviewed, the PTAB did not cancel claims 2-3, 7, 8, and 11-18 in this proceeding. Company did not appeal the final written decisions in IPR2015-01268, IPR201501269, and IPR2015-01325.

On January 12, 2017, February 7, 2017, and January 30, 2017, respectively, Company appealed the outcomes in IPR2015-01264, IPR2015-01319, and IPR2015-01321 to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”). These three cases have been consolidated, and Company’s opening brief is due to the Court on May 19, 2017.

A Decision from CAFC on these appeals is not expected to be reached during this calendar year.

On January 23, 2015 we entered into an agreement with Hudson Bay IP Opportunities Master Fund LP to, among other things, terminate the litigation between us, terminate all agreements between us, cancel all warrants we have previously issued to them as well as the outstanding balance of the Class C Note, provide for mutual releases and our delivery of eight million shares of our common stock, of which seven million shares will be subject to certain volume limitations upon resale. In order to have sufficient shares to deliver, we implemented the previously authorized amendment to our certificate of incorporation and increased our authorized common stock to one hundred fifty million shares. We entered into essentially similar agreements with the other holders of our Class C Notes, albeit for less shares.

The total principal amount of the debentures is $300,000 with a maturity date of November 8, 2015 with a zero percent interest rate. The debentures were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of the fixed price ($0.89) or fifty five percent (55%) of the average if the three lower trading price for 20 trading days prior to conversion. 

The Company signed a Forbearance Agreement on October 26, 2015 for the 10% Convertible Debenture with the principal amount of $300,000 that was due November 8, 2015. The new maturity date of the debenture was May 8, 2016.

On October 30, 2015, the company entered into a new Debenture with the same Lender, face amount of $405,000 having similar terms as the first Convertible Debenture with a maturity date of April 30, 2016. The debenture included a forbearance fee of $90,000 and had an original issue discount of 10%.

Overview

General

Starting in mid-2001 we were not able to generate enough revenue to sustain full operations and other sources of capital were not available. As a result, we have had to significantly curtail our operations since that time and at times almost halt them all together. Since mid-2007, as more funds became available from our financings, we were able to increase operations and become more active operationally.

On May 16, 2011, we transferred, through a spin-off to our then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of our operations and related operational assets. We retained our patent portfolio which we intend to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. We also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense patented technologies.

At present, the Company’s anticipated sources of revenue after the spin-off will be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents.

Revenues

We generated no revenue during the year because we transferred the operations of the Company to Worlds Online Inc. and our other anticipated revenue generation streams did not produce any income during the quarter.

Expenses

We classify our expenses into two broad groups:

• cost of revenues; and

• selling, general and administration.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have had to limit our operations since mid 2001 due to a lack of liquidity.  However, we were able to issue equity and convertible debt in the last few years and raise small amounts of capital from time to time that enabled us to begin upgrading our technology, develop new products and actively solicit additional business.  We 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. If we cannot raise additional capital, form an alliance of some nature with another entity, or start to generate sufficient revenues, we may need to once again scale back operations.

(15)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $0.  All the operations were transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. in the spin off. The Company’s future sources of revenue after the spinoff are anticipated to be from sublicenses of the patented technology to Worlds Online Inc.’s customers and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing our patents in litigation or otherwise.  Inasmuch as the expiration date on the Company’s patents is November 16, 2016, the Company does not expect any material amount of revenues from sublicense.

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

Revenue was $0 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.  All the operations were transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. in the spin off. The business up to the spin off continued to run in a severely diminished mode due to the lack of liquidity. Post spin off we still need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to continue running the business.

Cost of revenues is $0 in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Selling general and administrative (S, G & A) expenses increased by $200,658 from $387,625 to $588,283 for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Expenses are primarily professional fees and business consulting including broker fees. Expenses increased during the year due to legal fees related to the patent litigation and the increase in activity related to financings of the Company and all the activity surrounding those financings.

Salaries and related expenses increased by $15,664 to $240,689 from $225,025 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Increase is due to the CEO working under an employment agreement whereby he is to receive a 10% increase each year.

Common stock issued for services rendered decreased by $110,400 to $0 in 2016 compared to $110,400 in 2015. Decrease is due to strategic business consulting agreements in place in 2015 where no such agreements existed in 2016.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an option expense of $47,007, equal to the estimated fair value of the options at the date of grants. The option expense was due to 600,000 options granted to the Company’s directors and an officer of the company. For the year ended December 31, 2016, there was no option expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2016 we had a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $246,413. For the year ended December 31, 2015 we had a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $2,313,151. 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $6,191 and interest expense of $58,712. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $761,722 and interest expense of $61,935. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had a debt issuance expense of $5,000 related to the debenture signed during the year. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had a debt issuance expense of $130,500 related to the two debentures signed during the year.

As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of $1,132,906 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to a loss of $4,037,365 in the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease in net losses of $2,904,459.

(16)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents were $93,378. We raised an aggregate of $446,500 from issuing notes and convertible notes payable, $350,000 from issuing common stock and $127,200 from the exercise of common stock warrants during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $26,298 at December 31, 2015. We raised an aggregate of $479,000 from issuing notes and convertible notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2015.

No capital expenditures were made in 2016 or 2015.

Historically, our primary cash requirements have been used to fund the cost of operations, development of our products and patent protection, with additional funds having been used in connection with the exploration of new business lines.

The funds raised in our 2016 and 2015 financings were and will be used to enhance our patent portfolio, pay salaries to management and pay professional fees to our attorneys and auditors to prepare and file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We hope to raise additional funds to be used for further developing our portfolio of patents and to document our technology in order to enforce our patents where there is infringement.  No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise any additional funds.

Subsequent Events 

The company received an additional $292,800 in January and February upon the exercise of 24,400,000 warrants to purchase 24,400,000 shares of common stock at $0.012 per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting standards

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements up to ASU 2014-05, 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.

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Worlds Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Worlds Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 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 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Worlds Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the 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 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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense its patented technologies.

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 has always been considered a developmental stage business, has incurred significant losses since its inception and has had minimal revenues from operations. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and enforcement of its patent portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which has had a material adverse effect on the Company, including requiring the Company to reduce operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As the Company has focused its attention on increasing its patent portfolio and enforcing it, the Company has been operating at a significantly reduced capacity, with only one full time employee and using consultants to perform any additional work that may be required.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Due to Related Party

Due to related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Online Inc. on behalf of Worlds Inc. for shared operating expenses. 

(24)

Revenue Recognition

Effective for the second quarter of 2011, the Company spun off its online businesses to Worlds Online Inc. The Company’s sources of revenue after the spin off will be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents. 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.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is 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 are 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 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. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during 2016 and 2015.

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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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.

(25)

Notes Payable

The Company has $773,279 in short term notes outstanding at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These are old notes payable for which the statute of limitations has passed and therefore the Company does not expect it will ever have to repay those notes.

The Company has an additional $750,000 and $460,000 in notes, and $0 and $349,500 (net of $21,000 discount) in convertible notes outstanding at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The convertible notes were prepaid in August 2016.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the 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. As of December 31, 2016, there were 9,050,000 options and no warrants, whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share for 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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.

During 2000 the Company was involved in a lawsuit relating to unpaid consulting services. In April, 2001 a judgment against the Company was rendered for approximately $205,000. As of December 31, 2016, and 2015 the Company recorded a reserve of $205,000 for this lawsuit, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

(26)

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.

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 year ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other receivables, accounts payable & accrued expenses, due to related party, notes payable and notes payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's convertible notes payable are measured at amortized cost.

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3. See Note 5.

(27)

Embedded Conversion Features 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements.

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.  

(28)

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Since its inception, the Company has had periods where it had only minimal revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional capital resources 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. 

(29)

NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable at December 31, 2016 consist of the following:
Unsecured note payable to a shareholder bearing 8% interest.
Entire balance of principal and unpaid interest due on demand	$	124,230
Unsecured note payable to a shareholder bearing 10% interest
Entire balance of principal and unpaid interest due on demand	$	649,049
Promissory notes	$	700,000
Notes Payable - related party	$	50,000
Total notes	$	1,523,279

2020	$	-0-
	$	1,523,279

We issued promissory notes in the amount of $290,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The promissory notes carry a 6% annual interest rate and are payable upon the earlier of (a) 24 months from the date of the promissory note or (b) the Company reaching a settlement(s) on a patent infringement claim(s) and receiving an aggregate of at least $2 million net proceeds from such settlement(s). The holders of the promissory notes shall receive repayment in the full face amount of the note from the initial $500,000 the Company actually receives from the net proceeds of its patent infringement claim(s) or from the net proceeds of a public offering. In addition the holder shall receive a preferred return (i) in an amount equal to up to 200% of the initial face amount of the note out of available cash by sharing with all other investors in this series of notes in the allocation of 50% of the available cash received by the Company from $2M - $4M and (ii) in an amount equal to up to 100% of the initial face amount of the note out of available cash by sharing with all other investors in this series of notes in the allocation of 25% of the available cash received by the Company from $4M - $6M. In other words, if the Company collects $6M in the net proceeds of available cash, the holder will receive a return equal to 400% of its investment.

We issued promissory notes in the amount of $135,000 during the year ended December 31, 2015. One of the promissory notes in the amount of $25,000 was in lieu of payment of cash for an outstanding balance due to a consultant of the Company. The notes carry the same terms as those issued in 2016.

As of December 31, 2016, $1,098,279 of the notes payables are defaulted. $325,000 of the notes payables are defaulted as of April 17, 2017 and the remaining $100,000 of the notes payables will be matured as of April 22, 2017.

(30)

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On May 8, 2015, the Company issued convertible debentures to certain accredited investors. The total principal amount of the debentures was $300,000 with a maturity date of November 8, 2015 with a zero percent interest rate. The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of the fixed price ($0.89) or fifty five percent (55%) of the average of the three lower trading price for 20 trading days prior to conversion.

The Company signed a Forbearance Agreement on October 26, 2015 for the 10% convertible debenture with the principal amount of $300,000 that was due November 8, 2015. The new maturity date of the debenture is May 8, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, the convertible debenture was completely converted into common stock of the Company.

On October 30, 2015, the Company entered into a new Debenture with the same Lender, with a face amount of $405,000 having similar terms as the first Convertible Debenture with a maturity date of April 30, 2016. The debenture included a forbearance fee of $90,000 and had an original issue discount of 10%.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 54,963,098 shares of common stock by converting $384,159 of the principal of convertible notes payable.

On June 1, 2016, the Company entered into a new Debenture with an accredited investor, with a face amount of $50,000. The debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of the fixed price ($0.005) or fifty five percent (55%) of the average of the three lowest closing trading prices for 20 trading days prior to conversion. The Debenture has a maturity date of December 1, 2016. The debenture had an original issue discount of 10%.

On August 4, 2016, The Company paid off the balance of the debenture with the proceeds raised from issuing 35,000,000 shares of common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 6,746,356 shares of common stock by converting $150,000 of the principal of convertible notes payable.

As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate carrying value of the debentures was $0. As of December 31, 2015, the aggregate carrying value of the debentures was $370,500.

The Convertible notes payable are summarized in the following table:

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

(A) Convertible Notes Issued in May 8, 2015

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued in May 8, 2015. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.  The convertible debt was completely converted as of December 31, 2016. 

(B) Convertible Notes Issued in October 30, 2015

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued on October 30, 2015. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability as of the maturity date of April 30, 2016. The convertible debt was completely converted as of December 31, 2016.

(C) Convertible Notes Issued in June 1, 2016

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued on June 1, 2016. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability at June 1, 2016. The convertible note was paid in full on August 10, 2016. 

(D) Settlement of Derivative Liabilities

During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company settled a lawsuit brought forth by the note holders, effectively terminating and canceling all remaining agreements, warrants and notes. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $2,336,035 during the year ended December 31, 2015.

As of the date of the settlement with the noteholders, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability and recorded a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $143,383. 

(E) Options identified as derivative liability  

The Company identified options issued to directors and officers are a derivative liability due to a lack of number of authorized shares to cover all the options issued by the Company if they are all exercised as of December 31, 2015. Therefore, the fair value of the options have been recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. As of December 31, 2016, the Company reserved shares in the Transfer Agent for these options. And therefore, these options will not generate any derivative liabilities.

(32)

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015,are summarized in the following table: 

Derivative liabilities roll-forward	DL-NP			DL-options			Total
Initial Derivative liabilities generated during 2015		446,282			468,814			915,096

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2016, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $40,000,000 that expire in various years through the year 2036.

Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 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 net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $16,137,000 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $16,137,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $441,000 and $1,575,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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

Net operating loss carry forwards	$	$16,137,700
Valuation allowance		($16,137,700	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	—

The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal and state statutory income tax rate to total income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: 

	2016				2015
Income tax computed at the federal statutory rate		34		%		34		%
Income tax computed at the state statutory rate		5		%		5		%
Valuation allowance		(39	)	%		(39	)	%
Total deferred tax asset		0		%		0		%

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.  

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2016 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective inasmuch as the previous weakness was identified and corrected. The above statement notwithstanding, you are cautioned that no system is foolproof.

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

(37)

(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 at December 31, 2016 at the reasonable assurance level.

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.

Legal Proceedings NEED TO UPDATE

A Federal District Court issued a ruling on March 13, 2014 on the Motion for Summary Judgment (“MSJ”) hearing that allowed the Company to proceed with its patent infringement suit against Activision Blizzard, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and Activision Publishing, Inc.'s (collectively, “Activision”). The MSJ hearing held October 17, 2013 addressed Activision's dispute of the Company's November patent priority date. The court did not dismiss the case as requested by Activision. The Court’s ruling does prevent the Company from pursuing damages for the period prior to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) issuance of Certificates of Correction on September 24, 2013 that amended the Company’s 6,219,045 and 7,181,790 patents to include comprehensive priority information, which specifically references our November 1995 provisional patent application and confirms our 1995 priority date. A Markman hearing was held October 3, 2014 to address various aspects of the infringement suit claims and how the words in the 11 disputed “constructions” in the claims should be construed for jury consideration. The additional purpose was for the court to determine the meaning and intent of the language used in the claims. On May 26, 2015, Bungie Inc., a developer of the video game Destiny distributed by Activision filed a petition for an Inter Party Review (IPR) at the USPTO seeking to invalidate Worlds’ patents. On June 26, 2015, U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper issued a Markman order upholding claim construction of Worlds’ major patent claims. On November 30, 2015 the USPTO instituted IPR on Worlds’ patents as filed by Bungie Inc. Worlds filed its formal response on March 15, 2016 and oral arguments before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board is scheduled for August 10, 2016 with a final ruling to issue by November 30, 2016. On February 11, 2016  U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper entered order granting Motion to Stay pending IPR proceedings for 3 months. Counsel filed a joint status report on May 11, 2016. Oral hearings were held before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board on August 17, 2016 with a ruling expected by November 30, 2016.

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 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.   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.

Compensation of Directors

On September 5, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a compensation program for the directors whereby each 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 on January 1 to each director then in office at an exercise price equal to the last reported trading price of our common stock on that day, with such option to vest in 12 months, provided the director serves for at least six months, following the date of grant.  In addition, every 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. 

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation paid to each of our non-employee directors during 2016 for their services rendered as directors.

(43)

Employment Agreements 

The Company is committed to an employment agreement with its President and CEO, 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 7.5 million shares of Worlds Inc. common stock at an exercise price of  $0.070 per share, all of which vested on October 1, 2012; 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 September 4, 2007, our board of directors adopted the 2007 Stock Option Plan which was presented to our shareholders for their approval at our next annual meeting.  The plan provides for the issuance of up to 25 million options of which not more than 22 million can be incentive stock options.  

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation  

All of our officers and directors currently hold the same positions with our former subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc, although it is the intent that our current non-employee directors will only serve during a transition period not to exceed 12 months that transition has extended longer than initially anticipated. We do not have a compensation committee and all of our directors perform the function 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 Online 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.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following table sets forth as of February 1, 2017, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by (i) each Director, nominee and executive officer of us; (ii) each person who owns beneficially more than 5% of the common stock; and (iii) all Directors, nominees and executive officers as a group. The percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on there having been 246,023,331 shares of common stock outstanding as of February 1, 2017.

OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS, AS OF MARCH 20, 2016

Name & Address of Beneficial Owner(1)	Amount & Nature of Beneficial Owner	% of Class(2)
Thomas Kidrin	12,990,000(3)	5.1%
Christopher Ryan	1,669,076 (4)	*
Robert Fireman	664,484 (5)	*
Bernard Stolar	400,000(5)	*
Edward Gildea	350,000(6)	*
All directors and executive officers as a group (one person)	16,073,560 (7)

* less than 1% 

(1) Unless stated otherwise, the business address for each person named is Worlds 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) Includes 7.5 million currently exercisable stock options.

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

(6) Consists of 350,000 stock options, which are currently exercisable. 

(7) Includes 9,250,000 currently exercisable stock options.

(45)

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, Fireman and Gildea are “independent” and only Mr. Kidrin, by virtue of being our president and CEO, is 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).

We currently own 9.5% of the outstanding common stock of our former wholly-owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., and it has officers and directors which mirror ours, although it is the intent that our current non-employee directors will only serve during a transition period.

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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense its patented technologies.

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 has always been considered a developmental stage business, has incurred significant losses since its inception and has had minimal revenues from operations. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and enforcement of its patent portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which has had a material adverse effect on the Company, including requiring the Company to reduce operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As the Company has focused its attention on increasing its patent portfolio and enforcing it, the Company has been operating at a significantly reduced capacity, with only one full time employee and using consultants to perform any additional work that may be required.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Due to Related Party

Due to related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Online Inc. on behalf of Worlds Inc. for shared operating expenses.  

Revenue Recognition

Effective for the second quarter of 2011, the Company spun off its online businesses to Worlds Online Inc. The Company’s sources of revenue after the spin off will be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents. 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.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is 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 are 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 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. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during 2016 and 2015.

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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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.  

Notes Payable

The Company has $773,279 in short term notes outstanding at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These are old notes payable for which the statute of limitations has passed and therefore the Company does not expect it will ever have to repay those notes.

The Company has an additional $750,000 and $460,000 in notes, and $0 and $349,500 (net of $21,000 discount) in convertible notes outstanding at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The convertible notes were prepaid in August 2016.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the 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. As of December 31, 2016, there were 9,050,000 options and no warrants, whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share for 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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.

During 2000 the Company was involved in a lawsuit relating to unpaid consulting services. In April, 2001 a judgment against the Company was rendered for approximately $205,000. As of December 31, 2016, and 2015 the Company recorded a reserve of $205,000 for this lawsuit, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. 

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.

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 year ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other receivables, accounts payable & accrued expenses, due to related party, notes payable and notes payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's convertible notes payable are measured at amortized cost.

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3. See Note 5. 

Embedded Conversion Features 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements.

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.

Note 2 - Going Concerns

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERNS

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Since its inception, the Company has had periods where it had only minimal revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional capital resources 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.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

(A) Convertible Notes Issued in May 8, 2015

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued in May 8, 2015. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.  The convertible debt was completely converted as of December 31, 2016. 

(B) Convertible Notes Issued in October 30, 2015

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued on October 30, 2015. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability as of the maturity date of April 30, 2016. The convertible debt was completely converted as of December 31, 2016.

(C) Convertible Notes Issued in June 1, 2016

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt issued on June 1, 2016. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability at June 1, 2016. The convertible note was paid in full on August 10, 2016. 

(D) Settlement of Derivative Liabilities

During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company settled a lawsuit brought forth by the note holders, effectively terminating and canceling all remaining agreements, warrants and notes. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $2,336,035 during the year ended December 31, 2015.

As of the date of the settlement with the noteholders, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability and recorded a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $143,383. 

(E) Options identified as derivative liability  

The Company identified options issued to directors and officers are a derivative liability due to a lack of number of authorized shares to cover all the options issued by the Company if they are all exercised as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the Company reserved shares in the Transfer Agent for these options. And therefore, these options will not generate any derivative liabilities. Therefore, the fair value of the options have been recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are summarized in the following table:  

Derivative liabilites roll-forward	DL-NP			DL-options			Total

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2016, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $40,000,000 that expire in various years through the year 2036.

Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 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 net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $16,137,000 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $16,137,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of Business

Description of Business

On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense its patented technologies.

Basis of Presentation

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 has always been considered a developmental stage business, has incurred significant losses since its inception and has had minimal revenues from operations. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and enforcement of its patent portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which has had a material adverse effect on the Company, including requiring the Company to reduce operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As the Company has focused its attention on increasing its patent portfolio and enforcing it, the Company has been operating at a significantly reduced capacity, with only one full time employee and using consultants to perform any additional work that may be required.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Due to Related Party

Due to Related Party

Due to related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Online Inc. on behalf of Worlds Inc. for shared operating expenses. 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Effective for the second quarter of 2011, the Company spun off its online businesses to Worlds Online Inc. The Company’s sources of revenue after the spin off will be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents. 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.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is 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 are 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 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. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during 2016 and 2015.

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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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.

Notes Payable

Notes Payable

The Company has $773,279 in short term notes outstanding at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These are old notes payable for which the statute of limitations has passed and therefore the Company does not expect it will ever have to repay those notes.

The Company has an additional $750,000 and $460,000 in notes, and $0 and $349,500 (net of $21,000 discount) in convertible notes outstanding at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The convertible notes were prepaid in August 2016.

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 Accounting Standards Codification which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the 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. As of December 31, 2016, there were 9,050,000 options and no warrants, whose effect is anti-dilutive and not included in diluted net loss per share for 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 Accounting Standards Codification 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.

During 2000 the Company was involved in a lawsuit relating to unpaid consulting services. In April, 2001 a judgment against the Company was rendered for approximately $205,000. As of December 31, 2016, and 2015 the Company recorded a reserve of $205,000 for this lawsuit, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. 

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.

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 year ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

• Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other receivables, accounts payable & accrued expenses, due to related party, notes payable and notes payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's convertible notes payable are measured at amortized cost.

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3. See Note 5.

Embedded Conversion Features

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. 

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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.
