PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (“GlobalWise”) is a Nevada holding company incorporated in 1997, with a single operating subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc. (“Intellinetics,” and together with “GlobalWise,” the “Company”). References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we” “us” and “our” refer to the Company, unless we state otherwise or the context indicates otherwise. On February 10, 2012, GlobalWise entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between itself and Intellinetics, an Ohio corporation formed in December 1996. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, all of the former shareholders of Intellinetics transferred to GlobalWise all of their shares of Intellinetics in exchange for shares of common stock of GlobalWise (“Share Exchange”). Prior to the Share Exchange, GlobalWise was a non-operating public shell company. As a result of the Share Exchange, Intellinetics became a wholly-owned subsidiary of GlobalWise. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Intellinetics.

We are an Enterprise Content Management (“ECM”) software development, sales and marketing company serving both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, our products, services and process models serve, principally, the critical needs of law enforcement and compliance agencies within state and local government. We provide our software solutions principally in two ways: (i) through the direct licensing of its software installed on customer computer platforms and (ii) by providing our applications as a service accessible through the internet. Our services include pre-installation assessment, project scoping, implementation, consulting and ongoing software maintenance and customer support. In time, we anticipate that the provision of “cloud” application services will increase our revenues. Our revenues from delivery of our software as a service in a cloud environment, as a percentage of total revenue for the period ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were 8% and 4% respectively.

Our software products allow customers to manage “enterprise content” (unstructured data such as hard-copy scanned documents, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, JPEG files, images, pictures, faxes, audio/video files, emails, and PowerPoint presentations) through its entire life cycle. Our platform, Intellivue™, is designed to improve and enhance business operations for clients by making document and content management simple, accessible and affordable. We offer industry-specific vertical “Composite Content Applications” (“CCA”) to clients in a pre-configured, on-demand basis through the “On-Demand Solution Store™.” This approach to deploying templates for specific business processes empowers clients to affordably manage their complete document life cycle within the Intellivue ^TM platform.

Recent Developments

On February 4, 2014, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to two accredited investors who are affiliated with each other. To date, the Company has received $240,000 under the convertible notes. The convertible notes mature on September 30, 2014 and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 10% until maturity. For more information, see the Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, titled “Subsequent Events” in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Products and Services

We sell two distinct software products – Intellivue ^TM, and Redactivue ^TM :

Intellivue ^TM

Our flagship platform, Intellivue ^TM , makes the economic and operational benefits of ECM readily available to underserved small to medium sized businesses, who in the past could not afford the turnkey platforms available only from providers such as International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) or EMC Corporation. Intellinetics is the one of the only ECM providers in the market that offers the six core components of ECM at a single price as part of its core market strategy. The single-price strategy makes cost of ownership simple to understand for our customers and distinguishes our marketing strategy from that of most ECM providers.

The six components of Intellivue ^TM are as follows:

Image-processing Application: The Intellivue ^TM platform includes image processing modules used for capturing, transforming and managing images of paper documents. Intellivue ^TM supports distributed and high volume capture, optical and intelligent character recognition, and form-processing technology. Intellivue ^TM ’s open architecture enables plug-and-play compatibility with industry-leading advanced capture tools from providers such as Kofax and IBM (Datacap);

	1

Records Management: The Intellivue ^TM records management module is designed to address needs relating to long-term retention of content through automation and policies, ensuring legal, regulatory and industry compliance for our clients;

Workflow/BPM: Intellivue^TM is designed to support business processes, routing content electronically, assigning work tasks and states (e.g., reviews or approvals), and creating related audit trails;

Social Content: Intellivue^TM addresses document sharing, collaboration and knowledge management, and project teams. Specifically, video files are the fastest-growing category of new content in this defined area. Previously referred to as “document collaboration,” social content reflects a broader audience and a range of content types;

Web Content Management: The Intellivue^TM platform specifically addresses native functions such as templating, workflow, change management, and content deployment functions that deliver prepackaged or on-demand content (via Intellivue™ WebVue™). A key strength in this area is the ability of IntellivueTM to use our full-functioned web services based on our Software Development Kit (SDK) and Application Protocol Interface (API); and

Extended Components: Intellivue^TM includes document composition and e-forms (via third party OEM integration partnership), search, content and web analytics (via third party Advanced OCR engine partnership), email and information archiving and packaged application integration (via Intellinetics’ DirectVue™).

Redactivue ^TM

Our second software product is Redactivue ^TM . The Redactivue ^TM platform addresses the need for redaction of confidential or legally protected information from documents prior to release to a third party. Redactivue ^TM provides users the ability to quickly and efficiently design, test, and deploy intelligent redaction templates that support an unlimited number of unique content filters. In addition, Redactivue ^TM includes a comprehensive quality review and approval workflow engine that is completely configurable by document category.

Features of Redactivue^TM

The features of Redactivue^TM include:

Enables “Redaction-Aware” document management for business software applications quickly & easily;

Real-time filter testing provides methods to rapidly optimize accuracy using one of three powerful filter models (i.e., template libraries);

Regular Expression/Pattern Matching;

Label Proximity;

Fixed Templates;

Allows different redaction levels to simultaneously accommodate multiple views to the same document without any file duplication;

Preserves redaction history, rules applied, and user approval workflow; and

Exports comprehensive document and meta-data to any system, including:

ECM Platforms (e.g., SharePoint, IBM, EMC Corporation, Open Text, Hyland Software, and Oracle)

Websites; and

Host Business Applications (e.g., ERP, CRM, EMR, and HRIS).

Deployment Methods:

Redactivue ^TM is flexible and can function in several different deployment models across an organization, including:

As an end-to-end document management solution;

As a “pre-process” to an existing ECM; and

As an integrated sub-system to another host business software application (e.g., by redaction-enabling a Court Management System).

In addition, any of the above models can blend user controlled, semi-automated, or fully automated redaction methods to maximize our clients’ throughput, yet at the same time satisfy their accuracy requirements.

Marketing and Sales

Historically, our marketing efforts have focused on generating sales leads primarily through the use of a direct sales force, limited channel partnership, and trade shows. To a lesser extent, we use our website featuring solution overviews, case studies, white papers, and customer testimonials. Our traditional direct sales approach changed dynamically in the fourth quarter of 2010.

In September 2010, we reviewed what we had learned from our limited channel relationships with such companies as Lexmark International, Inc., Tiburon, and ACS Wagers and began a focused sales transformation. We reduced our direct sales force and immediately began implementing a national channel partner strategy to market our suite of products (i.e., Intellivue™ and Redactivue™). For purposes of this section, a “channel partner” is a company that we partner with to market and sell our products and technologies. In 2013, 48% of our revenues related to our relationships with channel partners. One channel partner is associated with 18% of our revenues for 2013, but there are no other channel partners who are responsible for more than 10% of our total revenues.

On December 31, 2013 we introduced a MarketCommand™ reseller program for resellers of devices in the print and imaging industry. MarketCommand™ is designed to generate additional revenues by packaging the GlobalWise cloud-based IntelliCloud™ platform and a MarketCommand^TM premise-based platform as a feature of the multi-function devices sold by resellers on the program. MarketCommand™ is desirable for the resellers because it can increase their revenue by increasing device sales and related IntelliCloud™ activation fees. The program also increases recurring Company revenue from customers that utilize more than the initial capacity, all without complexity in sales, operations, or service delivery.

The MarketCommand™ program reflects in-depth feedback from various resellers to determine what business, technical, market positioning and service changes were needed to make it easier for them to sell their products. MarketCommand™ delivers document-centric business solutions to customers, as a feature of the multi-function devices that customers are already purchasing from device resellers. With, MarketCommand™, IntelliCloud™’s solutions catalog is available via configurable icons from the device panel. MarketCommand™ is initially being made available only to market leaders within our current geographic markets of the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Through these efforts we are expanding our network of reselling partners across the United States.

The historic sales cycle for ECM products has been long (as long as 18-24 months) compared to that of most ECM vendors. We believe the combination of our open-source platform and ‘on-demand’ solution templates delivered as a packaged cloud-based software platform sold through a select distribution channel with simple inclusive pricing models will help us realize a much shorter sales cycle, ranging from 30 to 120 days. We believe this sales cycle contraction will set a new benchmark within the ECM industry for time-to-value from an end-user perspective while supporting an efficient increase in net new subscribers.

We believe that a targeted increase in channel relationships will increase our sales. We view this channel transformation as a critical component of our future business success.

Competition and Market Position

The market for our products is highly competitive, and we expect that competition will continue to intensify as the ECM markets consolidate. We believe our primary competitors in our market, the small-to-medium business sector and public sector, are Perceptive Software, Hyland Software, and Laserfiche. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our software products and services include: (i) vendor and product reputation; (ii) product quality, performance and price; (iii) the availability of software products on multiple platforms; (iv) product scalability; (v) product integration with other enterprise applications; (vi) software functionality and features; (vii) software ease of use; (viii) the quality of professional services, customer support services and training, and (ix) the ability to address specific customer business problems. We believe that the relative importance of each of these factors depends upon the concerns and needs of each specific customer.

We believe that Intellinetics has advantages over our competitors in the small-to-medium market. We anticipate that we will benefit from multiple specific competitive advantages:

We leverage the “On-Demand Solution Store™” framework to reduce the time and cost of on-boarding new clients and expanding footprint with existing clients.

We deliver a superior value proposition to the small and medium business market by combining inclusive licensing with simple, capacity-based pricing models and hosted cloud-based delivery, brought to market through a comprehensive channel network of targeting the small and medium business segment.

We access and satisfy pent-up demand for ECM within captive user bases in the small and medium business market with out-of-the-box integrations with the leading business software solution providers who serve this market such as Primary Solutions, Sycle.net, and PHA Web.

	3

We expand the demand for ECM within the Print and Imaging industry as a feature of the multi-function devices being utilized in the small and medium market.

We believe, with these competitive strengths, that Intellinetics is well positioned as a niche ECM provider for the small-to-medium business sector offering a complete world of ECM on one single turnkey platform – Intellivue™, requiring no modular pricing, enabling our clients to assemble, protect, find, collaborate on and ultimately use their content more effectively.

Customers

In 2013, we marketed our Intellinetics product suite, Intellivue™ and Redactivue™, primarily to companies in the public and private sectors within the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Revenues from a limited number of clients have accounted for a substantial percentage of our total revenues. Intellinetics’ two largest clients, Tiburon, Inc. and CareWorks, accounted for approximately 9% and 5%, respectively, of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our two largest clients at that time, FormFast and the Tiburon, Inc., accounted for approximately 16% and 12% respectively, of our revenues.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, government contracts represented approximately 57% and 39% of our net revenues, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the most significant of those government contracts represented approximately 5% of our net revenues. In 2012, the most significant of those government contracts, represented 4% of our net revenues. Due to their dependence on state, local and federal budgets, government contracts carry short terms, typically less than 18 months. Since our inception, our contracts with government customers have generally renewed on the original terms and conditions upon expiration. A significant portion of our sales to Resellers represent ultimate sales to government agencies.

Intellectual Property

Our software and most of the underlying technologies are built on a Microsoft.Net framework. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark laws, non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary intellectual property rights.

Customers license the right to use our software products on a non-exclusive basis. We grant to third parties rights in our intellectual property that allow them to market certain of our products on a non-exclusive or limited-scope exclusive basis for a particular application of the product or to a particular geographic area.

While we believe that our intellectual property as a whole is valuable and our ability to maintain and protect our intellectual property rights is important to our success, we also believe that our business as a whole is not materially dependent on any particular trademark, license, or other intellectual property right.

Government Regulation

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting our business. Other than government procurement rules affecting sales to governmental customers, we do not believe that we are subject to any special governmental regulations or approval requirements affecting our products or services. Complying with the regulations and requirements applicable to our business does not entail a significant cost or burden. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations.

Research and Development

We design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products. Recent examples of significant trends in the software industry include cloud computing, mobility, social media, and software as a service. We continuously monitor our software products and enhancements to remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. We expense as incurred, our software development costs. For the twelve months ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, our estimated research and development costs were $285,824 and $121,382, respectively.

	4

Employees

As of March 25, 2014, we employed a total of 15 individuals, all are full-time employees. We believe that relations with our employees are good. None of our employees is represented by a labor union, and we do not have collective bargaining arrangements with any of our employees.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Our business and future operating results may be affected by many risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth below and those contained elsewhere in this report. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, affairs, assets, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. When we say that something could have a material adverse effect on us or on our business, we mean that it could have one or more of these effects.

In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our company. Our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.

Risks Relating to our Business

Our current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm expressed going concern issues that note our need for capital and/or revenues to survive as a business.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise sufficient capital and further implement our business plan. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had a net loss of $2,139,704 and $1,985,493, respectively. The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $7,808,370 as of December 31, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s reports our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, contained explanatory paragraphs indicating that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our going concern qualification is expected to significantly affect our ability to raise capital and have a meaningful negative effect on the cost of capital, if we are able to raise any capital at all. If we are unable to raise capital, we will not be able to continue operations.

We need to continue to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, in order to be able to report our financial results accurately and timely, or to prevent fraud.

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Because Intellinetics operated as a private company without public reporting obligations before the Share Exchange, it had limited personnel and resources to apply to the development of the external reporting and compliance obligations that would be required of a public company. Intellinetics has taken and will continue to take measures to address and improve its financial reporting and compliance capabilities including the addition of financial and accounting resources, and instituting changes to satisfy its obligations in connection with joining a public company. If Intellinetics’ financial and managerial controls, reporting systems, or procedures fail, it may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In relation to the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, our former independent registered public accounting firm informed the Company of its observations of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at Intellinetics, primarily related to Intellinetics having been a private company without public reporting obligations before the Share Exchange. Since the filing of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has adopted various measures to improve Intellinetics’ internal control processes and has mitigated the material weakness in internal controls at Intellinetics. However, there can be no assurance that further improvements will not be required.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, we may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective at any time in the future, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, we could be subject to regulatory enforcement, and investors may lose confidence in our ability to operate in compliance with existing internal control rules and regulations, either of which could result in a decline in our stock price.

Our cash reserves are low, and we will require additional capital to fund our future activities. We may not be able to ensure the survival of the business if we fail to raise additional capital on satisfactory terms and in sufficient amounts.

As of December 31, 2013, we had cash of $260,500. Our cash requirements are insufficient by approximately $120,000 per month. We expect that through the next 10-16 months, the capital requirements to fund our growth and cover the operating costs as a public company will consume substantially all of the cash flows that we currently generate from operations, as well as an additional $900,000 to $1,700,000. We will be required to meet our needs from increased internally generated cash flows, debt financings and equity financings. We are dependent on our ability to obtain financing to continue operations and to implement our business plan. Based on our current operating plan, we will need to obtain debt or additional equity financing in the near future. The type, timing and terms of the additional financing we may select will depend on, among other things, our cash needs, the availability of other financing sources and prevailing conditions in the financial markets. Any financing would be dilutive to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that any of these sources will be available to us at any time. Even if additional capital is available, we may not be able to obtain debt or equity financing on terms favorable to us. If cash generated by operations is not sufficient to meet our capital requirements, the failure to obtain additional financing could result in a reduction or curtailment of our operations.

We may have to issue additional securities at prices which may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders.

If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt, our current stockholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of ordinary shares outstanding. We may have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If future financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our future needs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business plans, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have a history of losses, and we may not achieve profitability at a level that enables the Company to continue as a going concern.

We have a history of losses and have not yet achieved profitability. We had net losses of $2,139,704 and $1,985,493 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included an explanatory paragraph in their reports on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, indicating that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to the opinions issued by our current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm including our explanation that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon us being able to secure additional capital. You must consider our business, financial history and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we face. There can be no assurances that we will achieve or maintain profitability or even be able to continue operating as a going concern.

Weakened economic conditions and uncertainty could adversely affect our operating results or financing in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against.

Our overall performance depends in part on economic conditions. The United States has been slowly recovering from the prolonged recession and financial crisis beginning in approximately 2008. The sustainability and pace of the economic recovery are unknown and are beyond our control. Moreover, any instability in the global economy affects countries, including the United States, with varying levels of severity, which makes the impact on our business complex and unpredictable. During adverse economic conditions, many customers may delay or reduce technology purchases. Contract negotiations may become more protracted, or conditions could result in reductions in sales of our products, longer sales cycles, pressure on our margins, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable or delayed payments, increased default risks associated with our accounts receivable, slower adoption of new technologies, and increased price competition. Potential price inflation in the United States may increase the cost we incur to provide our solutions and may reduce profit margins on agreements that govern our provision of products or services to customers over a multi-year period. In addition, continued deterioration of the United States and global credit markets could adversely impact our ability to complete sales of our products and services, including maintenance and support renewals. Any of these prolonged events, as well as a general weakening of, or declining corporate confidence in, the United States and global economy, or a curtailment in government or corporate spending could delay or decrease customer purchases, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Recent events in the financial markets have demonstrated that businesses and industries throughout the world are very tightly connected to each other. Thus, financial developments seemingly unrelated to us or to our industry may adversely affect us over the course of time. For example, material increases in applicable interest rate benchmarks may increase the payment costs for any of our debt. Credit contraction in financial markets may hurt our ability to access credit in the event that we identify an acquisition opportunity or require significant access to credit for other reasons. Similarly, volatility in our stock price due to seemingly unrelated financial developments could hurt our ability to raise capital for the financing of acquisitions or other reasons. Any of these events, or any other events caused by turmoil in domestic or international financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service any indebtedness that we may incur from time to time, which could force us to sell assets, cease operations, or take other detrimental actions for our business.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance any debt obligations that we may incur depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. We cannot ensure that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are at any time insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, restructure or refinance our indebtedness, or reduce or cease operations. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other operating obligations.

We are subject to loan covenants which we may not be able to meet, resulting in increased interest and accelerated payment obligations.

In connection with our indebtedness to the State of Ohio, the material loan covenants to which we are subject include

providing quarterly financial information and management certifications;

creating and maintaining a certain number of full time jobs within Ohio;

furnishing period information regarding employment, economic, and statistical data;

maintaining our principal offices in the State of Ohio;

maintaining insurance for risk of loss, public liability, and worker’s compensation;

delivering notice in the event of default, any pending or threatened action that would materially impair the Company;

permitting the inspection of books, records, and premises;

not selling or disposing of substantially all of our assets or equity or merging or consolidating with another entity without consent; and

not pledging or encumbering our assets.

We have had past instances of non-compliance with certain of the loan covenants. Should we violate a covenant or requirement, we may be subject to an escalation of our interest rate and/or we may be required to repay the loan before its term. We are currently in compliance with all material loan covenants. There can be no assurance that we will not become non-compliant with one or more of these covenants in the future.

Our gross margins on our revenues have not been stable, which creates difficulty in generating forecasts and managing profitability, and may hinder investment.

Our gross margins on our revenues have not been stable. Accordingly, it is difficult for us to manage and forecast our gross margins and our earnings. Historically, our product mix and profitability per project have not been consistent. These conditions may adversely impact our future financial performance and may hinder our ability to attract investors.

The length of our sales cycle can fluctuate significantly, resulting in significant fluctuations in license revenues recognitions.

The decision by a customer to purchase our products often involves a comprehensive implementation process across the customer’s network or networks. As a result, licenses of these products may entail a significant commitment of resources by prospective customers, accompanied by the attendant risks and delays frequently associated with significant expenditures and lengthy sales cycles and implementation procedures. Given the significant investment and commitment of resources required by an organization to implement the type of software we supply, our sales cycle may be longer compared to other companies within our own industry, as well as companies in other industries. In the current economic environment, it is not uncommon to see reduced information technology spending. It may take several months, or even several quarters, for marketing opportunities to materialize. If a customer’s decision to license our software is delayed or if the installation of our products takes longer than originally anticipated, the date on which we may recognize revenues from these licenses would be delayed. Such delays could cause our revenues to be lower than expected in a particular period.

Any significant reduction in the sales efforts or cooperative efforts from our partners could materially impact our revenues.

We rely on close cooperation with our reseller and channel partners for sales and product development as well as for the optimization of opportunities that arise in our competitive environment. In particular, the success of our recently announced reseller program, MarketCommand^TM , is entirely dependent upon our relationships with resellers of multi-functional devices, which are currently being purchased by current and potential customers in our target markets. Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to maintain access to existing channels of distribution and to gain access to new channels if and when they develop. We may not be able to retain a sufficient number of our existing partners or develop a sufficient number of future partners. We are unable to predict the extent to which our partners will be successful in marketing and licensing our products. A reduction in partner cooperation or sales efforts, or a decline in the number of channels, could materially reduce revenues.

We need to continue to develop new technologically-advanced products that successfully integrate with the software products and enhancements used by our customers.

Our success depends upon our ability to design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products on a timely basis in response to both competitive threats and marketplace demands. Recent examples of significant trends in the software industry include cloud computing, mobility, social media, networking, browser, and software as a service. In addition, software products and enhancements must remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. Often, we must integrate software licensed or acquired from third parties with our proprietary software to create or improve our products. If we are unable to achieve a successful integration with third-party software, we may not be successful in developing and marketing our new software products and enhancements. If we are unable to successfully integrate third-party software to develop new software products and enhancements to existing products, or to complete products currently under development which we license or acquire from third parties, our operating results will materially suffer. In addition, if the integrated or new products or enhancements do not achieve acceptance by the marketplace, our operating results will materially suffer. Also, if new industry standards emerge that we do not anticipate or adapt to, our software products could be rendered obsolete and, as a result, our business and operating results, as well as our ability to compete in the marketplace, would be materially harmed.

If our products and services do not gain market acceptance, our operating results may be negatively affected.

We intend to pursue our strategy of growing the capabilities of our ECM software offerings through our proprietary research and the development of new product offerings. In response to customer demand, it is important to our success that we continue: (i) to enhance our products, and (ii) to seek to set the standard for ECM capabilities in the small-to-medium market. The primary market for our software and services is rapidly evolving, due to the nature of the rapidly changing software industry, which means that the level of acceptance of products and services that have been released recently or that are planned for future release by the marketplace is not certain. If the markets for our products and services fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or become subject to increased competition, our business may suffer. As a result, we may be unable to: (i) successfully market our current products and services, (ii) develop new software products, services and enhancements to current products and services, (iii) complete customer installations on a timely basis, or (iv) complete products and services currently under development. In addition, increased competition could put significant pricing pressures on our products, which could negatively impact our margins and profitability. If our products and services are not accepted by our customers or by other businesses in the marketplace, our business and operating results will be materially affected.

If we are unable to continue to attract new customers, our growth could be slower than we expect.

We believe that our future growth depends in part upon increasing our customer base. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenue in the future will depend, in part, upon continually attracting new customers and obtaining subscription renewals to our solutions from those customers. If we fail to attract new customers our revenue may grow more slowly than expected and our business may be harmed.

A significant downturn in our business may not be immediately reflected in our operating results because of the way we recognize revenue.

We recognize revenue from subscription agreements ratably over the terms of these agreements, which are typically one year. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is generated from customer agreements entered into during previous periods, which is reflected as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions, or a downgrade of renewed subscriptions to less-expensive editions, in any one quarter may not be fully reflected in our revenue in that quarter, and may negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. If contracts having significant value expire and are not renewed or replaced at the beginning of a quarter or are downgraded, our revenue may decline significantly in that quarter and subsequent quarters.

Our profitability in the short term may be affected by rapid growth in our customer base.

Expenses, such as sales commissions, are generally incurred upfront; however most of our revenue is recognized over the life of the applicable agreements. Therefore, increased sales will result in our recognition of more costs than revenue during the early periods covered by such agreements, even in cases where the agreements are expected to be profitable for us over their full terms. As a result, our short-term operating results may suffer.

If we are unable to increase market awareness of our company and our solutions, our revenue may not continue to grow, or may decline.

Market awareness of our capabilities and solutions is essential to our ability to generate new leads for expanding our business and our continued growth. If we fail to sufficiently invest in our marketing programs or they are unsuccessful in creating market awareness of our company and solutions, our business may be harmed.

Reduced IT or enterprise software spending may adversely impact our business.

Our business depends on the overall demand for IT and enterprise software spend and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. Any meaningful reduction in IT or enterprise software spending or weakness in the economic health of our current and prospective customers, could harm our business in a number of ways, including longer sales cycles and lower prices for our solutions.

Security breaches may harm our business.

Any security breaches, unauthorized access, unauthorized usage, virus or similar breach or disruption could result in loss of confidential information, damage to our reputation, early termination of our contracts, litigation, regulatory investigations or other liabilities. If our security measures or those of our third-party data centers are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to customer data, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability.

The United States has laws and regulations relating to data privacy, security, and retention and transmission of information. We have certain measures to protect our information systems against unauthorized access and disclosure of our confidential information and confidential information belonging to our customers. We have policies and procedures in place dealing with data security and records retention. However, there is no assurance that the security measures we have put in place will be effective in every case.

There has been an increase in the number of private privacy-related lawsuits filed against companies in recent years. In addition, we are unable to predict what additional legislation or regulation in the area of privacy of personal information could be enacted and what effect that could have on our operations and business. Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure, or security of personal information or other privacy-related matters, even if unfounded and even if we are in compliance with applicable laws, could damage our reputation and harm our business.

Breaches, or perceived breaches, in security could result in a negative impact for us and for our customers, potentially affecting our business, assets, revenues, brand, and reputation, and resulting in penalties, fines, litigation, and other potential liabilities, in each case depending upon the nature of the information disclosed. These risks to our business may increase as we expand the number of products and services we offer.

Our business may become substantially dependent upon the continued adoption of cloud-based software solutions.

We expect to derive a significant part of our revenue from the sale of subscriptions for our cloud-based platform. We do not know whether the trend of adoption of enterprise cloud-based software solutions we have experienced in the past will continue in the future. Many organizations have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to integrate on-premise software tools into their businesses, and some have been reluctant or unwilling to migrate to cloud-based software solutions. Furthermore, some organizations, particularly enterprises upon which we are dependent, have been reluctant or unwilling to use cloud-based solutions because they have concerns regarding the risks associated with the security of their data and the reliability of the technology delivery model associated with these solutions. In addition, if we or other cloud-based providers experience security incidents, loss of customer data, disruptions in delivery or other problems, the market for cloud-based software solutions as a whole, including for our solutions, may be negatively impacted. If the adoption of cloud-based software solutions does not continue at the rate we anticipate, the market for these solutions may stop developing or may develop more slowly than we expect, either of which would harm our operating results.

Our data center infrastructure capacity may affect our service.

As we experience growth in the number of users and amount of data that our hosting infrastructure supports, we will need to acquire additional hosting infrastructure. We seek to maintain excess capacity to facilitate the rapid provision of new customer deployments and the expansion of existing customer deployments. However, the provisioning of new data center infrastructure requires lead time. If we do not accurately predict our infrastructure capacity requirements with sufficient lead time, our customers could experience service impairment that may subject us to financial penalties and liabilities and cause us to lose customers. If our data center infrastructure capacity fails to keep pace with increased subscriptions, customers may experience delays or reductions in the quality of our service as we seek to obtain additional capacity, which could harm our reputation and harm our business.

Any disruption of service at data centers that house our equipment and deliver our solutions could harm our business.

Our users expect to be able to access our solutions 24-hours a day, seven-days a week, without interruption. We have computing and communications hardware operations located in data centers owned and operated by third parties. We do not control the operation of these data centers and we are therefore vulnerable to any security breaches, power outages or other issues the data centers experience. We expect that we will experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time.

The owners of our data centers have no obligation to renew agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to move to new data centers, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so.

These data centers are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, malicious acts, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, fires, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, vandalism or other misconduct, or a decision to close the data centers without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in availability of our solutions.

Any changes in third-party service levels at our data centers or any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems with our solutions could harm our reputation and may damage our customers' businesses. Interruptions in availability of our solutions might reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits to customers, subject us to potential liability, and cause customers to terminate their subscriptions or decide not to renew their subscriptions with us.

If our existing customers fail to renew their support agreements, or if customers do not license updated products on terms favorable to us, our revenues could be adversely affected.

We currently derive a significant portion of our overall revenues from maintenance services and software subscriptions, and we depend on our installed customer base for future revenue from maintenance services and software subscriptions and licenses of updated products. The IT industry generally has been experiencing increasing pricing pressure from customers when purchasing or renewing support agreements. Moreover, the trend towards consolidation in certain industries that we serve, such as financial services and telecommunications, could result in a reduction of the software and hardware being serviced and put pressure on our maintenance terms with customers who have merged. Given this environment, there can be no assurance that our current customers will renew their maintenance agreements or agree to the same terms when they renew, which could result in our reducing or losing maintenance fees. If our existing customers fail to renew their maintenance agreements, or if we are unable to generate additional maintenance fees through the licensing of updated products to existing or new customers, our business and future operating results could be adversely affected.

The loss of a major customer or the failure to collect a large account receivable could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenues from a limited number of customers have accounted for a substantial percentage of our total revenues. Our two largest clients account for approximately 9% and 5%, respectively, of our revenues for the year ending December 31, 2013. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, government contracts represented approximately 57% and 39% of our net revenues, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the most significant of these government contracts, represented approximately 5% and 4%, respectively, of our net revenues. Due to their dependence on state, local and federal budgets, government contracts carry short terms, typically less than 18 months. The loss of a meaningful percentage of government contracts could materially affect our business and operating results.

Our investment in our current research and development efforts may not provide a sufficient, timely return.

The development of ECM software products is a costly, complex, and time-consuming process, and the investment in ECM software product development often involves a long wait until a return is achieved on such an investment. We make and will continue to make significant investments in software research and development and related product opportunities. Investments in new technology and processes are inherently speculative. Commercial success depends on many factors including the degree of innovation of the products developed through our research and development efforts, sufficient support from our strategic partners, and effective distribution and marketing. Accelerated product introductions and short product life cycles require high levels of expenditures for research and development. These expenditures may adversely affect our operating results if they are not offset by increased revenues. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts in order to maintain our competitive position. However, significant revenues from new product and service investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, new products and services may not be profitable, and even if they are profitable, operating margins for new products and businesses may not be as high as the margins we have experienced for our current or historical products and services.

Product development is a long, expensive, and uncertain process, and we may terminate one or more of our development programs.

We may determine that certain product candidates or programs do not have sufficient potential to warrant the continued allocation of resources. Accordingly, we may elect to terminate one or more of our programs for such product candidates. If we terminate a product in development in which we have invested significant resources, our prospects may suffer, as we will have expended resources on a project that does not provide a return on our investment and we may have missed the opportunity to have allocated those resources to potentially more productive uses, and this may negatively impact our business operating results or financial condition.

The use of open-source software in our products may expose us to the risk of having to disclose the source code to our product, rendering our software no longer proprietary and reducing or eliminating its value.

Certain open-source software is licensed pursuant to license agreements that require a user who distributes the open-source software as a component of the user’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. This effectively renders what was previously proprietary software open-source software. As competition in our markets increases, we must strive to be cost-effective in our product development activities. Many features we may wish to add to our products in the future may be available as open-source software, and our development team may wish to make use of this software to reduce development costs and speed up the development process. While we carefully monitor the use of all open-source software and try to ensure that no open-source software is used in such a way as to require us to disclose the source code to the related product, such use could inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third party has incorporated certain types of open-source software into its software but has failed to disclose the presence of such open-source software, and we embed that third-party software into one or more of our products, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our product. This could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our ability to compete effectively.

We are highly dependent on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws, trademark laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. We intend to protect our rights vigorously; however, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights may be difficult or cost prohibitive. While U.S. copyright laws may provide meaningful protection against unauthorized duplication of software, software piracy has been, and is expected to be, a persistent problem for the software industry, and piracy of our products represents a loss of revenue to us. Certain of our license arrangements may require us to make a limited confidential disclosure of portions of the source code for our products, or to place such source code into escrow for the protection of another party. Although we will take considerable precautions, unauthorized third parties, including our competitors, may be able to: (i) copy certain portions of our products, or (ii) reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Also, our competitors could independently develop technologies that are perceived to be substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. Our competitive position may be adversely affected by our possible inability to effectively protect our intellectual property.

Any claim that we infringe on other’s intellectual property could materially increase costs and materially harm our ability to generate future revenues and profits.

Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and as related legal protections, including patents, are applied to software products. Although we are not aware of any infringement on the rights of third parties, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Although most of our technology is proprietary in nature, we do include certain third-party software in our products. In these cases, this software is licensed from the entity holding the intellectual property rights. Although we believe that we have secured proper licenses for all third-party software that is integrated into our products, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. The third parties making these assertions and claims may include non-practicing entities (known as “patent trolls”) whose business model is to obtain patent-licensing revenues from operating companies, such as ours. Any such assertion, regardless of merit, may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third parties. Such licenses may not be available, or they may not be available on reasonable terms. In addition, such litigation could be time-consuming, disruptive to our ability to generate revenues or enter into new market opportunities, and may result in significantly increased costs as a result of our defense against those claims or our attempt to license the intellectual property rights or rework our products to avoid infringement of third-party rights to ensure they comply with judicial decisions. Our agreements with our partners and end-users typically contain provisions that require us to indemnify them, with certain limitations on the total amount of such indemnification, for damages sustained by them as a result of any infringement claims involving our products. Any of the foregoing results of an infringement claim could have a significant adverse impact on our business and operating results, as well as our ability to generate future revenues and profits.

The loss of licenses to use third-party software or the lack of support or enhancement of such software could adversely affect our business.

We currently depend upon a limited number of third-party software products. If such software products were not available, we might experience delays or increased costs in the development of our products. In certain instances, we rely on software products that we license from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally-developed software, and which is used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, and the related software may not continue to be appropriately supported, maintained, or enhanced by the licensors. The loss by us of the license to use, or the inability by licensors to support, maintain, and enhance any of such software, could result in increased costs or in delays or reductions in product shipments until equivalent software is developed or licensed and integrated with internally-developed software. Such increased costs or delays or reductions in product shipments could adversely affect our business.

Current and future competitors could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenues and profits.

The markets for our products are intensely competitive, and are subject to rapid technological change and other pressures created by changes in our industry. The convergence of many technologies has resulted in unforeseen competitors arising from companies that were traditionally not viewed as threats to our marketplace. We expect competition to increase and intensify in the future as the pace of technological change and adaptation quickens, and as additional companies enter our markets, including those competitors who offer similar products and services to ours, but offer them through a different form of delivery. Numerous releases of competitive products have occurred in recent history and are expected to continue in the future. We may not be able to compete effectively with current competitors and potential entrants into our marketplace. We could lose market share if our current or prospective competitors: (i) introduce new competitive products, (ii) add new functionality to existing products, (iii) acquire competitive products, (iv) reduce prices, or (v) form strategic alliances with other companies. If other businesses were to engage in aggressive pricing policies with respect to competing products, or if the dynamics in our marketplace resulted in increased bargaining power by the consumers of our products and services, we would need to lower the prices we charge for the products we offer. This could result in lower revenues or reduced margins, either of which could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. Additionally, if prospective consumers choose other methods of ECM delivery, different from those that we offer, our business and operating results could also be materially and adversely affected.

Consolidation in the industry, particularly by large, well-capitalized companies, could place pressure on our operating margins which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business.

Acquisitions by large, well-capitalized technology companies have changed the marketplace for our goods and services by replacing competitors that are comparable in size to our company with companies that have more resources at their disposal to compete with us in the marketplace. In addition, other large corporations with considerable financial resources either have products that compete with the products we offer, or have the ability to encroach on our competitive position within our marketplace. These companies have considerable financial resources, channel influence, and broad geographic reach; thus, they can engage in competition with our products and services on the basis of sales price, marketing, services, or support. They also have the ability to introduce items that compete with our maturing products and services. The threat posed by larger competitors and their ability to use their better economies of scale to sell competing products and services at a lower cost may materially reduce the profit margins we earn on the goods and services we provide to the marketplace. Any material reduction in our profit margin may have a material adverse effect on the operations or finances of our business, which could hinder our ability to raise capital in the public markets at opportune times for strategic acquisitions or general operational purposes, which may prevent effective strategic growth or improved economies of scale or put us at a disadvantage to our better-capitalized competitors.

We must manage our internal resources during periods of Company growth, or our operating results could be adversely affected.

The ECM market has continued to evolve at a rapid pace. If we are successful in growing the Company, any growth will place significant strains on our administrative and operational resources, and increase demands on our internal systems, procedures and controls. Our administrative infrastructure, systems, procedures and controls may not adequately support our operations. In addition, our management may not be able to achieve a rapid, effective execution of the product and business initiatives necessary to successfully implement our operational and competitive strategy. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our operating results will likely suffer which may, in turn, adversely affect our business.

If we are not able to attract and retain top employees, our ability to compete may be harmed.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could significantly harm our business. Our success is also highly dependent upon our continuing ability to identify, hire, train, retain, and motivate highly-qualified management, technical, sales, and marketing personnel. In particular, the recruitment of top research developers and experienced salespeople remains critical to our success. Competition for such people is intense, substantial, and continuous, and we may not be able to attract, integrate, or retain highly-qualified technical, sales, or managerial personnel in the future. In addition, in our effort to attract and retain critical personnel, we may experience increased compensation costs that are not offset by either improved productivity or higher prices for our products or services.

The market price of our common stock may limit the appeal of certain alternative compensation structures that we might offer to the high-quality employees we seek to attract and retain.

If the market price of our common stock performs poorly, such performance may adversely affect our ability to retain or attract critical personnel. For example, if we were to offer options to purchase shares of our common stock as part of an employee’s compensation package, the attractiveness of such a compensation package would be highly dependent upon the performance of our common stock.

In addition, any changes made to any of our compensation practices which are made necessary by governmental regulations or competitive pressures could adversely affect our ability to retain and motivate existing personnel and recruit new personnel. For example, any limit to total compensation which may be prescribed by the government, or any significant increases in personal income tax levels in the United States, may hurt our ability to attract or retain our executive officers or other employees whose efforts are vital to our success.

Any unauthorized, and potentially improper, actions of our personnel could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The recognition of our revenue depends on, among other things, the terms negotiated in our contracts with our customers. Our personnel may act outside of their authority and negotiate additional terms without our knowledge. We have implemented policies to help prevent and discourage such conduct, but there can be no assurance that such policies will be followed. For instance, in the event that our sales personnel negotiate terms that do not appear in the contract and of which we are unaware, whether the additional terms are written or verbal, we could be prevented from recognizing revenue in accordance with our plans. Furthermore, depending on when we learn of unauthorized actions and the size of the transactions involved, we may have to restate revenue for a previously reported period, which would seriously harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

	14

Unexpected events may materially harm our ability to align our incurrence of expenses with our recognition of revenues.

We incur operating expenses based upon anticipated revenue trends. Because a high percentage of these expenses are relatively fixed, a delay in recognizing revenues from transactions related to these expenses (which delay may be due to the factors described elsewhere in this section or may be due to other factors) could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter, and such a delay could materially reduce operating income. If these expenses are not subsequently matched by revenues, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We may fail to achieve our financial forecasts due to the inherent difficulties in making predictions of market activity.

Our revenues and particularly our new software license revenues are difficult to forecast, and, as a result, our actual operating results can differ significantly from our estimates, and such differences may be material. We use an internal customer relationship management system to manage all of our “sales funnel” activities. Information relating to existing and potential customers is updated weekly. The system provides us with estimates of future sales from existing and potential customers, the effectiveness of which relies solely on our ability to predict sales activity, both in a particular quarter and over longer periods of time. Many factors may affect actual sales activity, such as weakened economic conditions, which may cause our customers and potential customers to delay, reduce, or cancel IT-related purchasing decisions, and the tendency of some IT customers to wait until the end of a fiscal period in the hope of obtaining more favorable terms. If actual sales activity differs from our estimate, then we may have planned our activities and budgeted incorrectly and this may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The restructuring of our operations may adversely affect our business or our finances.

We may in the future undertake initiatives to restructure or streamline our operations. We may incur costs associated with implementing a restructuring initiative beyond the amount contemplated when we first developed the initiative, and these increased costs may be substantial. Such costs would decrease our net income and earnings per share for the periods in which those adjustments are made. We will continue to evaluate our operations, and may propose future restructuring actions as a result of changes in the marketplace, including the exit from less profitable operations or the decision to terminate services which are not valued by our customers. Any failure to successfully execute these initiatives on a timely basis may have a material adverse impact on our operations.

Our products may contain defects that could harm our reputation, be costly to correct, delay revenues, and expose us to litigation.

Our products are highly complex and sophisticated and, from time to time, may contain design defects or software errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors may be found in new software products or improvements to existing products after delivery to our customers. If these defects are discovered, we may not be able to successfully correct such defects in a timely manner. In addition, despite the extensive tests we conduct on all of our products, we may not be able to fully simulate the environment in which our products will operate and, as a result, we may be unable to adequately detect the design defects or software errors which may become apparent only after the products are installed in an end-user’s network. The occurrence of errors and failures in our products could result in the delay or the denial of market acceptance of our products, and alleviating such errors and failures may require us to make significant expenditure of our resources. The harm to our reputation resulting from product errors and failures may be materially damaging. Because we regularly provide a warranty with our products, the financial impact of fulfilling warranty obligations may be significant in the future. Our agreements with our strategic partners and end-users typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to claims. These agreements regularly contain terms such as the exclusion of all implied warranties and the limitation of the availability of consequential or incidental damages. However, such provisions may not effectively protect us against claims and the attendant liabilities and costs associated with such claims. Accordingly, any such claim could negatively affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

A claim for damages, regardless our responsibility for the failure, could expose us to liability.

We provide business management solutions that we believe are critical to the operations of our customers’ businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. Any failure of a customer’s system installed by us or of the services offered by us could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although we attempt to limit our contractual liability for damages resulting from negligent acts, errors, mistakes, or omissions in rendering our services, we cannot assure you that the limitations on liability we include in our agreements will be enforceable in all cases, or that those limitations on liability will otherwise protect us from liability for damages. There can be no assurance that any insurance coverage we may have in place will be adequate or that current coverages will remain available at acceptable costs. Successful claims brought in excess of any insurance coverage could seriously harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if not successful, large claims against us could result in significant legal and other costs and may be a distraction to our senior management.

Our products rely on the stability of infrastructure software that, if not stable, could negatively impact the effectiveness or reliability of our products, resulting in harm to our reputation and business.

Our development of internet and intranet applications depends and will continue to depend on the stability, functionality, and scalability of the infrastructure software of the underlying internet and intranet. If weaknesses in such infrastructure exist, we may not be able to correct or compensate for such weaknesses. If we are unable to address weaknesses resulting from problems in the infrastructure software such that our products do not meet customer needs or expectations, our reputation and, consequently, our business may be significantly harmed.

In addition, our business and operations are highly automated, and a disruption or failure of our systems may delay our ability to complete sales and to provide services. A major disaster or other catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations, which may materially and adversely affect our future operating results.

We may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect us.

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial, product liability, employment, class action, and other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, and cause us to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the results of any such actions may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.

Our contracts with government clients subject us to risks including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions, and penalties.

A significant portion of our revenues comes from contracts with the U.S. government, state and local governments, and their respective agencies, which may terminate most of these contracts at any time, without cause. The percentage of revenue from governmental contracts as a percentage of total revenue for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were 57% percent and 39% percent, respectively. At this time, governments and their agencies are operating under increased pressure to reduce spending. Any federal government contracts are subject to the approval of appropriations being made by the U.S. Congress to fund the expenditures under those contracts. Similarly, any contracts at the state and local levels are subject to government funding authorizations. Additionally, government contracts are generally subject to audits and investigations that could result in various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, refund of a portion of fees received, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions, or debarment from future government business.

As a result of the Share Exchange, Intellinetics became a subsidiary of ours, and since we are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, the Company may have to make significant compliance-related expenditures that may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing its ability to grow.

As a result of the Share Exchange, Intellinetics became a subsidiary of ours and, accordingly, is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and other federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Commission (including reporting of the Share Exchange) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would have been if Intellinetics had remained privately held and had not become our subsidiary.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the Commission have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our compliance costs in 2012 and beyond, and to make certain activities more time-consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, agents and employees under Nevada law, and the existence of indemnification rights to such persons, may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, agents and employees.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors, officers, agents and employees to the Company and its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers, agents and employees, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our Company from bringing a lawsuit against certain individuals for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors, officers, agents and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and stockholders.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

Shares of our common stock that have not been registered under the Securities Act, regardless of whether such shares are restricted or unrestricted, are subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144, including those set forth in Rule 144(i), which apply to a “shell company.”

Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations, and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, we were a shell company pursuant to Rule 144 prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange, and sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 were restricted until at least twelve months from February 13, 2012, the date that we filed our Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, reflecting the Company’s status as a non- “shell company.” Even after February 13, 2013, investors may be reluctant to invest in our securities because they are securities of a former shell company that may not be freely tradable as securities of companies that are not former “shell companies”. In addition, since the Company is a former shell company, shareholders with restricted securities cannot rely upon Rule 144 for sales of restricted securities in the event that the Company is not current in its filing obligations under the Exchange Act.

Management exercises significant control over matters requiring stockholder approval which may result in the delay or prevention of a change in our control.

The officers, directors, and key employees of Intellinetics hold approximately 51% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, the management and key employees of Intellinetics exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of our directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership in the management and key employees of Intellinetics may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company that may be otherwise viewed as beneficial by stockholders other than Intellinetics’ management.

Our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and are subject to a high degree of volatility and liquidity risk.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. As such, we believe our stock price to be more volatile and the share liquidity characteristics to be of higher risk than if we were listed on one of the national exchanges. Also, if our stock were no longer quoted on the OTCBB, the ability to trade our stock would become even more limited and investors might not be able to sell their shares. Consequently, investors must be prepared to bear the economic risk of holding the securities for an indefinite period of time.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The common stock of public companies can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or out of proportion to the operating performance of such companies. We expect our stock price to be similarly volatile. These broad market fluctuations may continue and could harm our stock price. Any negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of our business or companies in our industry could also depress our stock price, regardless of our actual results. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include:

•

Variations in operating results;

•

Announcements of technological innovations, new products or product enhancements, strategic alliances, or significant agreements by us or by competitors;

•

Recruitment or departure of key personnel;

•

Litigation, legislation, regulation, or technological developments that adversely affect our business; and

•

Market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers, and the economy as a whole.

Further, the stock market in general, and securities of smaller companies in particular, can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. You should also be aware that price volatility might be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low.

We are unable to issue additional shares without the stockholders authorizing an increase in shares.

We have 50,000,000 authorized shares, out of which 49,210,261 are outstanding assuming full exercise of all outstanding warrants. As such, we will be unable to issue additional shares without our stockholders authorizing an increase in our shares. Our inability to issue additional shares without stockholders authorizing an increase in our shares significantly limits our ability to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt. Because we are currently unable to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt, we may not be able to fund our future needs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business plans, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

The volatility of our stock price could lead to losses by stockholders.

The market price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to: (i) quarterly and annual variations in operating results, (ii) announcements of technological innovations or new products that are relevant to our industry, or (iii) other events or factors. In addition, financial markets experience significant price and volume fluctuations that particularly affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. These fluctuations have often resulted from the failure of such companies to meet market expectations in a particular quarter, and thus such fluctuations may or may not be related to the underlying operating performance of such companies. Broad market fluctuations or any failure of our operating results in a particular quarter to meet market expectations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Occasionally, periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities may lead to the institution of securities class action litigation against a company. Due to the volatility of our stock price, we may be the target of such securities litigation in the future. Such legal action could result in substantial costs to defend our interests and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Our common stock may be subject to Penny Stock Rules, which could affect trading.

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, subject to exceptions. The rules require that a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the 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 connection with the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the rules generally require that before a transaction in a penny stock, 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 disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. Our common stock has never traded above $5.00 per share, and as such the holders of our common stock or other of our securities may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

The Company has Outstanding Warrants having a “cashless exercise” feature.

As part of an offering of equity in 2013, the placement agent was issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares. The placement agent warrants have a cashless exercise feature giving the placement agent the option of not paying cash to exercise the warrants but gives the placement agent the right to surrender a portion of the warrants to the Company as full payment of the exercise price and receive shares equal to the difference between the exercise price and the price of the shares at the time of exercise. The Company would not receive any proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued to the placement agent, causing dilution to existing stockholders with no corresponding influx of capital. This may affect our ability to raise additional equity capital.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock that were issued in a private offering in 2013 could cause our stock price to fall.

Once we register the shares that were issued as part of a private offering of equity in 2013, they can be freely sold in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of shares by the selling shareholders, could reduce the market price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of our common stock by the selling shareholders in the public market, the availability of these shares for sale, our issuance of securities or the perception that any of these events might occur could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, the sale of these securities could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional stock.

Because we do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, investors in this offering may never receive a return on their investment.

We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. The declaration, payment, and amount of any future dividends, if any, will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant. In addition, any future credit facilities we enter into may contain terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. References in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” and similar terms refer to GlobalWise Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GlobalWise”), and its sole operating subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Intellinetics”), unless we state otherwise or the context indicates otherwise.

This discussion includes forward- looking statements, as that term is defined in the federal securities laws, based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.

We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risk factors that are included in Part I, Item IA of this Form 10-K. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition accrued expenses, financing operations, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carry value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this report for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Company Overview

The Company is an Enterprise Content Management (“ECM”) software development, sales and marketing company serving both the public and private sectors. The Company provides its software solutions principally through (i) the direct licensing of its software installed on customer computer platforms and (ii) providing the applications as a service, accessible through the internet. The latter delivery model is what is referred to as a “cloud-based” or “software as a service” (“SaaS”) model.

The Company’s software products allow customers to manage “enterprise content” (unstructured data such as hard-copy scanned documents, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, JPEG files, images, pictures, faxes, audio/video files, emails, and PowerPoint presentations) through the complete document life cycle for that organization. The Company’s platform, Intellivue™, improves and enhances business operations for clients by making document and content management simple, accessible and affordable. Our approach to deploying templates for specific business processes is designed to empower clients to affordably manage their documents entirely within the Intellivue™ platform.

	22

To date, most of our software customers install our software onto computers at their location (premises-based). In time, the Company anticipates that the provision of “cloud” application services, or software as a service, will become a more significant part of its software sales business. We anticipate that cloud-based services will become the principal part of our software sales business and a primary source of revenues for us, because this model allows customers to avoid significant upfront costs for hardware and installation services required for a premises-based delivery. That said, we are just beginning to see our customers migrate to such cloud-based services. Our revenues from cloud-based delivery of our software, as a percentage of total revenue for the period ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were 9% and 4% respectively.

Our current sales strategy is to focus our sales efforts toward a much greater percentage of sales through intermediaries, such as software resellers and multi-function device resellers, rather than through direct sales. We have developed marketing programs with resellers that facilitate their selling and support of our software solutions. We refer to these resellers as our “channel partners.” We believe that our channel partner strategy improvements have increased the competitive strength of our platform of products. In addition, we have established a set of business solutions templates that provide base software configurations which we believe will facilitate our delivery and installation of software to our customers. We believe that these advancements, in the aggregate, will allow us to license and sell our products to a broader customer base, shortening our sales cycle, making margins more consistent, and allowing us to expand our sales through new channel partnerships. In 2013, we devoted significant efforts, in both development and marketing, in bringing about this change in core strategic focus for the Company.

On December 31st, 2013, we announced the MarketCommand™ reseller program for dealers in the print and imaging channel. The program is designed to generate additional revenues by packaging the GlobalWise cloud-based IntelliCloud™ platform as a feature of the multi-function devices (e.g., copiers, scanners, etc.) sold by dealers on the program. MarketCommand™ is desirable for the dealers because it can increase their revenue by increasing device sales and related IntelliCloud™ activation fees while increasing recurring revenue from customers that utilize more than the initial electronic storage capacity.

The Company gathered in-depth feedback from initial resellers when developing the MarketCommand™ program, to determine what business, technical, market positioning and service changes were needed to make it easier for resellers to sell document management software. MarketCommand™ delivers the simplicity and power of delivering document-centric business solutions as a feature of the multi-function devices they already sell.

The first two MarketCommand™ resellers were on-boarded subsequent to December 31, 2013. Combined, the two resellers serve over 40,000 active customers with 180 sales people generating over $230,000,000 in revenue for those resellers. These initial partners have provided an opportunity to test the program’s tools and processes for effectiveness. Both partners have started generating new business under MarketCommand™ with strong positive feedback on program value to their business. The phased roll-out will be completed by the end of April, 2014. Three additional resellers under our MarketCommand^TM program are scheduled to complete on-boarding by the end of June 30, 2014.

2013 brought a change in management for the Company. On July 31, 2013, the board of directors of the Company appointed Matthew L. Chretien, as our interim President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Chretien replaced William J. Santiago, who resigned in order to pursue other interests.

Revenues

Revenues are generated from the licensing, subscription and maintenance of our enterprise software products and from professional services fees in connection with the implementation and integration of software applications. Our revenues, especially our license revenues, are impacted by the competitive strength of our software products, as well as general economic and industry conditions.

For our sales of software without professional services and sales of software with professional services, our customer base has traditionally been made up of customers with larger projects that can take as much as nine months to two years to complete. For these projects, our policy is to not recognize revenue until the project is complete and delivered to our customer. As such, there are spikes in our revenue when these projects are completed and the associated revenue is recognized. As a result, revenues for sales of software without professional services and sales of software with professional services may vary widely from quarter to quarter.

Cost of Revenues

We maintain a staff of software design engineers, developers, installers and customer support personnel, dedicated to the development and implementation of customer applications, customer support and maintenance of deployed software applications. While the total costs related to these personnel are relatively consistent from period to period, the cost of revenues categories to which these costs are charged may vary depending on the type of work performed by our staff.

Costs of revenues also include the costs of server hosting and Software as a Service applications, as well as certain third-party costs and hardware costs incurred. Third-party and hardware costs may vary widely from quarter to quarter.

In addition, while revenues are recognized upon the completion of software and consulting projects, the related costs are recognized when incurred, resulting in gross margins which may vary widely from period to period for these revenue categories.

How We Evaluate our Business Performance and Opportunities

Major Quantitative and Qualitative Factors we Consider in the Evaluation of our Business

The major qualitative and quantitative factors we consider in the evaluation of our operating results include the following:

Our current strategy is to focus upon cloud-based delivery of our software products through channel partners. Historically, our revenues have mostly resulted from premise-based software licensing revenue and professional services revenue. Our observation of industry trends leads us to anticipate that cloud-based delivery will become our principal software business and a primary source of revenues for us, but we are just beginning to see our customers migrate to cloud-based services. Accordingly, when we evaluate our results, we assess whether our cloud-based software revenues are increasing, relative to prior periods and relative to other sources of revenue. Additionally, we assess whether our sales resulting from relationships with channel partners are increasing, relative to prior periods and relative to direct sales to customers. Finally, we consider the number of channel partners with which we have a contract or other relationship to be an indicator of our performance and future results.

Our customer engagements often involve the development and licensing of customer-specific software solutions and related consulting and software maintenance services. When analyzing whether to undertake a particular customer engagement, we often consider all of the following factors as part of our overall strategy to grow the business: (i) the profit margins the project may yield, (ii) whether the project will allow us to enter a new geographic market, (iii) whether the project would enable us to demonstrate our capabilities to large national resellers, or (iv) whether the project would help to develop new product and service features that we could integrate into our suite of products, resulting in an overall product portfolio that better aligns with the needs of our target customers. As a result of this pipeline analysis, we may take on projects with a lower project margin if we determine that the project is valuable to our business for the other reasons discussed.

Our sales cycle is long, sometimes lasting 18-24 months. Even when a project begins, we often perform pre-installation assessment, project scoping, and implementation consulting. Our revenue and profit in any particular period is significantly influenced by sales efforts and preliminary project work conducted in prior periods but not completed and recognized until the current period. Therefore, when we plan our business and evaluate our results, we consider the revenue we expect to recognize from projects in our late-stage pipeline.

Our research and development efforts and expenses to create new software products are critical to our success. When developing new products or product enhancements, our developers collaborate with our own employees across a wide variety of job functions. We also gather in-depth feedback from our customers and channel partners. We evaluate new products and services to determine their likelihood of market success and their potential profitability.

	24

We monitor our costs and capital needs to ensure efficiency as well as an adequate level of support for our business plan.

Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our Operating Results

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors. Factors that affect our operating results include the following:

our capital needs, and the costs at which we are able to obtain capital;

general economic conditions that affect the amount our customers are spending on their software needs, the cost at which we can provide software products and services, and the costs at which we can obtain capital;

the development of new products, requiring development expenses, product rollout, and market acceptance;

the length of our sales cycle;

the fact that many of our customers are governmental organizations, exposing us to the risk of early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions, and other penalties not typically associated with private customers;

our relationships with our channel partners, for purposes of product delivery, introduction to new markets and customers, and for feedback on product development;

our need to increase expenses at the beginning of a customer project, while associated revenue is recognized over the life of the project;

the potential effect of security breaches, data center infrastructure capacity, our use of open-source software, and governmental regulation and litigation over data privacy and security;

whether our clients renew their agreements and timely remit our accounts receivable;

whether we can license third-party software on reasonable terms;

our ability to protect and utilize our intellectual property; and

the effects of litigation, warranty claims, and other claims and proceedings.

Due to all these factors and the other risks discussed in “Item 1.A Risk Factors” of this report, our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. Comparisons of our operating results with prior periods is not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance.

Results of Operations

Overview - Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

We reported net losses of $2,139,704 and $1,985,493 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase in net loss of $154,211 or 8%. We reported gross profit of $968,956 and $1,753,431 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease in gross profit of $784,475, or 45%. We reported operating expenses of $3,108,660 and $3,738,924 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease in operating expenses of $630,264. The decrease in operating expenses year-over-year was principally related to the reduction in sales and marketing personnel, and the decrease in stock-based compensation.

Revenues

We reported total revenues of $1,554,185 and $2,734,950 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,180,765 or 43%. The decrease in total revenues year-over-year is attributable to several factors as described below.

Sale of Software Licenses without Professional Services

Revenues from the sale of software licenses without professional services principally consist of sales of additional or upgraded software licenses and applications to existing customers and sales of software to our resellers. Software in this sales category is sold without professional services. These software license revenues were $67,507 and $188,894, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $121,387, or 64%. The decrease year-over-year in sales was due to our efforts to develop and expand our channel partner reseller organization.

	25

Sale of Software Licenses with Professional Services

Although we have traditionally provided our software to customers through customized solutions, increasingly, we are providing our resellers and our direct customers with software solutions that require less customization and in turn allow us to shorten our sales cycle. A new customized software engagement typically begins with a thorough assessment and mapping of the customer’s needs capacities and information technology environment. Upon the completion of the needs analysis, we then prepare a specifications document in order to determine the scope and extent of professional services work required. Then, the customization work starts with the foundation of our core software applications upon which we deliver professional services to customize features, enhancements and integration that would meet the outlined specifications. Each application is thoroughly tested by us before being installed at the customer’s location. Revenues from the sale of software licenses with professional services were $196,485 and $929,741, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $733,256 or 79%. This was primarily the result of our emphasis on expanding our software as a service sales model and a decrease in focus of our premises-based software sales in order to follow current market trends.

Sale of Software as a Service

For those customers that wish to avoid the upfront costs of typical premises-based software installations, we provide access to our software solutions as a service, accessible through the internet. Our customers typically enter into our software as a service agreement for periods in excess of one year. Under these agreements, we generally provide access to the applicable software, data storage and related customer assistance and support. Our software as a service revenue were $138,607 and $108,102, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase of $30,505 or 28%. The increase in revenue year-over-year was primarily the result of new customers and relationships with channel partners.

Sale of Software Maintenance Services

Software maintenance services revenues consist of fees for post contract customer support services provided to license holders. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. A substantial portion of these revenues were generated from customers to whom we sold software in prior years who have continued to renew their maintenance agreements. The support and maintenance agreements typically have a term of 12 months. Our software maintenance support revenue was $856,755 and $790,007, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase of $66,748, or 8%. The increase in revenue year-over-year was primarily the result of new accounts that we have gained through our growing sales channel partner network and renewals of existing maintenance agreements.

Sales of Consulting Services

Consulting services revenues consist of revenues from consulting, advisory services, training, and projects to assist customers with the uploading of client data into the client’s applications. These revenues include those arrangements where we do not sell software license as an element of the overall arrangement. Consulting services revenues were $294,831 and $718,206 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a decrease of $423,375, or 59%. The decrease in revenue year-over-year primarily resulted from two large client projects completed in 2012.

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $585,229 and $981,519, respectively, representing a decrease of $396,290, or 40%. The decrease in cost of revenue year-over-year is primarily the result of a decrease in third-party costs in connection with a client document conversion project in 2012.

Gross Margins

Overall gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 62% and 64%, respectively, representing an decrease of 2%. The increase in gross margin year-over-year is primarily as result of a decrease in third party costs.

Cost of License Revenues without Professional Services

Cost of license revenues consists primarily of third-party software licenses that are sold in connection with our core software applications. Cost of license revenues without professional services was $25,140 and $45,477 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $20,307, or 45%. Gross margin for this product category decrease to 63% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 from 76% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, or 13%.

Cost of License Revenues with Professional Services

Cost of license revenues consists primarily of the compensation of our software engineers and implementation consultants. Costs were $283,374 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $469,252 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing an decrease $185,878, or 40%.

Gross margins for this product category were (44%) and 50% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The volatility in gross margin is primarily because overhead costs associated with license revenues with professional services are spread over less license revenues in 2013.

Cost of Software as a Service

Cost of software as a service consists primarily of technical support personnel and related costs. Cost of software as a service was $27,592 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $28,232 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $640, or 2%.

Gross margins for this product category were 80% and 74% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The increase in margins year-over-year were due to the decrease in time associated with technical support personnel.

Cost of Software Maintenance Services

Cost of software maintenance services consists primarily of technical support personnel and related costs. Cost of software maintenance services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was $124,430 compared to $119,727 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $4,703, or 4%. The increase in costs was a direct result from an increase in new customers for this product category which utilizes more personnel support.

Gross margins in this product category were 85% and 85% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Cost of Consulting Services

Cost of consulting services consists primarily of the compensation of our software engineers and implementation consultants and related third-party costs. Cost of consulting services was $124,663 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $318,831 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $194,168 or 61%. The decrease year-over-year resulted primarily from less consulting services in 2013, which decreases labor costs.

Gross margins in this product category were 58% and 56% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross margins related to consulting services are typically lower and may vary widely, depending upon the nature of the consulting project and the amount of labor it takes to complete a project.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $2,087,169 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $2,196,068 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $108,899, or 5%. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to the decrease in administrative personnel in 2013.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $826,396 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $1,200,019 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $373,623 or 31%. The decrease year-over-year was primarily related to our increased emphasis on utilizing our channel partners in selling activities, which decreased our sales and marketing team and decreased our travel expenses.

	27

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $26,425 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $28,420 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $1,955 or approximately 7%. The decrease year-over-year was the result of certain assets becoming fully amortized.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $184,100 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $298,947 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $114,847 or 38%. The decrease year-over-year resulted primarily from a decrease in the average debt balance outstanding during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings from third parties and related parties, and proceeds from private sales of equity. As of December 31, 2013, our major liquidity indicators are:

Cash $ 260,560,

Working Capital Deficiency $ (1,252,467),

Through December 31, 2013 we have incurred cumulative net losses since inception of $7,808,370.

From our inception, we have generated revenues from the sales and implementation of our internally generated software applications. Our plan is to increase our sales and market share by developing an expanded network of resellers through which we expect to sell our expanded software product portfolio. We expect that this marketing initiative will require us to develop an expanded sales force and enhance our product marketing efforts, all of which will require additional capital.

As of December 31, 2013, we expected that through the next 12 months, the capital requirements to fund our growth and to cover the operating costs of a public company will consume substantially all of the cash flows that we intend to generate from our operations, as well as from the proceeds of intended issuances of debt and equity securities. We further believe that during this period, while we are focusing on the growth and expansion of our business, the gross profit that we expect to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. Accordingly, we require external funding to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of our business plan. However, there can be no assurance that our plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that we will be successful in funding estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital and through the cash generated by our operations. Given these conditions, our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon us being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable us to meet our cash requirements. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which we operate and the current capital raising environment. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through a combination of operating margins, state business development loans, bank loans and loans from friends and family. Although management believes that we may have access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we raised $3,051,021 in net new funds through the issuance of both contingently convertible notes and unregistered securities. The proceeds from these notes were used to fund our working capital needs and the costs of the Share Exchange.

The Company expects that through the next 9 to 12 months the capital requirements to fund the Company’s growth and to cover the operating costs as a public company will consume substantially all the cash flows that it intends to generate from its operations, as well as the funds raised in the private placement discussed elsewhere in the Form 10-K, in addition to the proceeds of any issuances of debt and equity securities, if consummated. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growth and expansion of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. Our cash requirements are insufficient by approximately $120,000 per month. Assuming over the next 9 to 12 months, we do not increase our cash flow generated from operations, we will need an additional $1,440,000 to $1,800,000 to fund planned operations. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that the Company will have sufficient funds to fund the Company’s operations. Given these conditions, the Company ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully managing its cash requirements.

	28

Assuming that we are successful in our growth plans and development efforts, we believe that we will be able to raise additional funds through sales of our common stock, issuance of debt or some other financing source. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise these additional funds or do so on acceptable terms.

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Shares Issued and Outstanding and Shares Reserved for Exercise of Warrants

As of March 31, 2014, the Company has 47,362,047 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and 1,848,214 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

On February 10, 2012, we consummated the Share Exchange and on that date, our shares became available for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “GWIV”. We believe that this was a first step to raising capital to finance our growth plan. We intend to deploy any additional capital we may raise to expand our sales and marketing capabilities, develop ancillary software products, enhance our internal infrastructure, support the accounting, auditing and legal costs of operating as a public company, and provide working capital.

On February 28, 2013 and March 6, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $2,650,000 and the exchange of $350,000 in previously issued convertible promissory notes issued between January 28, 2013 and February 7, 2013 to certain investors associated with the placement agent (the “Offering”). The Company used the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including without limitation, debt reduction purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

We have incurred substantial recurring losses since our inception. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the years 2012 and 2013, we raised a total of $4,404,077 through issuance of debt and equity securities. We are also in the process of exploring strategies to increase our existing revenues. We believe we will be successful in these efforts; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in raising additional debt or equity financing or finding any other financing source to fund our operations on terms agreeable to us. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.

Since the end of Fiscal Year 2013, on February 4, 2014, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other. The Company received a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the notes in the amount of $240,000. The notes mature on September 30, 2014 and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 10 percent until maturity. For more information, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, titled “Subsequent Events” in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to exercise its judgment. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and other financial information.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. Areas in which we exercise significant judgment include, but are not necessarily limited to, our valuation of accounts receivable, and income taxes, along with the estimated useful lives of depreciable property, plant and equipment.

We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors, including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, and the attributes of our products and services. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary.

While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

A description of significant accounting policies that require us to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenues from the sale of software licenses, both with and without professional services, from consulting services without an associated software sale, from maintenance services performed under periodic contracts and agreements that provide customers the use of our software applications as a service.

We recognize revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 985-605 “Software Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 985-605”). We record revenues from the sale of software licenses when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable.

If an undelivered element for the arrangement exists under the license arrangement, revenues related to the undelivered element are deferred based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered element. Often, multiple-element sales arrangements include arrangements where software licenses and the associated post contract customer support (“PCS”) are sold together. We have established VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered PCS element based on the contracted price for renewal PCS included in the original multiple element sales arrangement, as substantiated by contractual terms and our PCS renewal experience from our existing customer base.

In connection with the sale of software with professional services, we provide the customer with a solution that is customized or configured to fit the customer’s particular needs and/or our professional services are essential to the functionality of the software. In these arrangements, the software license and professional services do not qualify for separate accounting. Accordingly, we record the revenues for these sales as prescribed by ASC 985-605, in accordance with the contract accounting guidelines in ASC topic 605-35 “Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts” (“ASC 605-35”), after evaluating for separation of any non- ASC 605-35 elements in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-25, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements,” as updated.

	33

The accounting guidelines require that the software license revenue to be recognized together with the professional services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method. The Company recognizes revenues for these contracts under the completed-contract method, as we believe it is the appropriate method through December 31, 2013.The contract is considered to be complete when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been installed on the customer’s site, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding acceptance by the customer, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable.

Revenues generated under maintenance contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Software as a service revenues are typically billed on a monthly or annual basis.

We assess whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. Our sales arrangements generally include standard payment terms; however, payment terms may be extended to accommodate the conditions of certain customers. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products and arrangements regardless of customer type, product mix or arrangement size.

We generally do not offer rights of return or any other incentives such as concessions, product rotation, or price protection and, therefore, do not provide for or make estimates of rights of return and similar incentives.

We establish allowances for doubtful accounts when available information causes us to believe that credit loss is probable.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues relate to maintenance agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services, and payments received for professional services and license arrangements that have been deferred until completion under the Company’s completed contract revenue recognition method. Generally, all revenues will be recognized within twelve months after the signing of the agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Globalwise Investments, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Globalwise Investments, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLOBALWISE INVESTMENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations

Globalwise Investments, Inc. (“Globalwise”) is a Nevada holding company incorporated in 1997, with a single operating subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc. (“Intellinetics”), (Globalwise and Intellinetics together hereinafter referred to as the “Company”). On February 10, 2012, Globalwise entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between itself and Intellinetics. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, all of the former shareholders of Intellinetics transferred to Globalwise all of their shares of Intellinetics in exchange for shares of common stock (“Share Exchange”) of Globalwise. Prior to the Share Exchange, Globalwise was a non-operating public shell company. As a result of the Share Exchange, Intellinetics became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalwise. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Intellinetics (See Note 4 – Share Exchange). The Company is an enterprise content management (ECM) software development, sales and marketing company serving both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, the Company’s products, services and process models serve, principally, the critical needs of law enforcement and compliance agencies within the state and local government establishment. Intellinetics was formed in December 1996 as a corporation in the state of Ohio.

The Company provides its software solutions principally through (i) the direct licensing of its software installed on customer computer platforms and (ii) providing the applications as a service, accessible through the internet. The Company’s comprehensive solutions include services that range from pre-installation assessment, project scoping, implementation, consulting and ongoing software maintenance and customer support.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of this Form 10-K.

3. Liquidity and Management’s Plans

Through December 31, 2013, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit since inception of $7,808,370 and has recent negative cash flows from operations. At December 31, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of $260,560, primarily as a result of the private placement and the issuance of convertible notes discussed in detail elsewhere in the Form 10-K.

From the Company’s inception, it has generated revenues from the sales and implementation of its internally generated software applications.

The Company’s plan is to increase its sales and market share by developing an expanded network of resellers through which the Company will sell its expanded software product portfolio. The Company expects that this marketing initiative will require that it hire and develop an expanded sales force and enhance its product marketing efforts, all of which will require additional capital.

On the Closing Date, the Company consummated its merger, and its shares began trading on the OTC Bulletin under the symbol “GWIV”. The Company intends to deploy capital to expand its sales and marketing capabilities, develop ancillary software products, enhance its internal infrastructure, support the accounting, auditing and legal costs of operating as a public company, and provide working capital.

The Company expects that through the next 12 months, the capital requirements to fund the Company’s growth and to cover the operating costs as a public company will consume substantially all of the cash flows that it intends to generate from its operations, as well as the funds raised in the private placement discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, in addition to proceeds of any issuances of debt and equity securities, if consummated. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growth and expansion of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. Our cash requirements are insufficient by approximately $120,000 per month. Accordingly, the Company used the proceeds from the private placement to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of its business plan. Assuming over the next 12 months, we do not increase our cash flow generated from operations, we will need an additional $1,400,000 to $1,800,000 to fund planned operations. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that the Company will have sufficient funds to fund the Company’s operations. Given these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully managing its cash requirements. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which the Company operates and its cash requirements. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through a combination of operating margins, state business development loans, bank loans, convertible loans and loans from friends and family, and the sale of securities. Although management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time other than the new issuance of convertible notes disclosed in Note 15- Subsequent Events, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company raised $3,051,021 in net new funds through the issuance of the Company’s common stock to certain accredited investors through a private placement and the issuance of contingently convertible notes. The Company used portions of the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, including without limitation, debt reduction.

The Company expects to use the remaining funds raised to fund the Company’s operations, including the compliance costs as a public company, and to fund the Company’s plans to increase staff and operations to complete the build-out of its expanded reseller network which the Company believes will enable it to expand into additional markets and deepen its penetration of existing markets. The current level of cash and operating margins may not be enough to cover the existing fixed and variable obligations of the Company, so increased revenue performance and the addition of capital are critical to the Company’s success.

The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.

4. Share Exchange

On February 10, 2012, Intellinetics was acquired by Globalwise pursuant to the Share Exchange, with Intellinetics remaining as a wholly- owned subsidiary of Globalwise.

In connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange, (i) the stockholders of Intellinetics surrendered all of the issued and outstanding shares of Intellinetics capital stock and received, in exchange for such shares, an aggregate of 28,034,850 shares of common stock of Globalwise on a 4,650-for-1 basis which represented approximately 86% of the Company’s total shares outstanding immediately following the closing of the transaction; and (ii) Intellinetics paid $220,000 in advance of the closing and $85,000 upon the closing of the Share Exchange to the stockholders of Globalwise to provide both a reimbursement of professional fees incurred by Globalwise and for the split-off of the net liabilities of Globalwise at closing.

The Share Exchange was accounted for as a “reverse merger”. Furthermore, the Share Exchange was deemed to be a recapitalization of Intellinetics, and as such, all capital accounts were restated as if the Share Exchange had occurred prior to the earliest period presented. Intellinetics was deemed to be the acquirer in the Share Exchange for accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations of the Company that are reflected in the financial statements prior to the Share Exchange are those of Intellinetics, and the consolidated financial statements of the Company after completion of the Share Exchange include the assets and liabilities of Intellinetics, historical operations of Intellinetics and operations of Intellinetics from the Closing Date of the Share Exchange.

5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts.

Significant estimates and assumptions include valuation allowance related to receivables, the recoverability of long-term assets, depreciable lives of property and equipment, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. The Company’s management monitors these risks and assesses its business and financial risks on a quarterly basis.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

The number of customers that comprise the Company’s customer base, along with the different industries, governmental entities and geographic regions, in which the Company’s customers operate, limits concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support customer receivables; however, the Company may require its customers to provide retainers, up-front deposits or irrevocable letters-of-credit when considered necessary to mitigate credit risk. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon facts surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and past collections history. Credit losses have been within management’s expectations. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company allowances for doubtful accounts were $27,635 and $6,221 respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. Furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and purchased software are depreciated over 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter, generally 7 to 10 years. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains and losses are reflected in the results of operations.

	42

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups, such as property and equipment, for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and a current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the aggregate pre-tax undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset or asset group. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value, which for this purpose is based upon the discounted projected future cash flows of the asset or asset group.

Share Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

	43

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees,” which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, with the measurement of such compensation being subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest.

Both employee and non-employee grants of stock were fully vested at their respective date of grants. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded share-based compensation to employees of $-0- and $175,000, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded share-based compensation to non-employees of $-0- and $65,550.

Software Development Costs

Software development costs for software to be sold or otherwise marketed incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. The Company defines establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the product are capitalized, if material. To date, all software development costs for software to be sold or otherwise marketed have been expensed as incurred. In accordance with ASC 350-40, the Company capitalizes purchase and implementation costs of internal use software. No such costs were capitalized during the periods presented.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

ASC Topic 814-40 (Formerly SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities"), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC Topic 815-40-15 (formerly EITF 00-19, "Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company's own stock") to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. The Company adjusts its derivative liability to fair value at each balance sheet date, and reflects the change in fair value, in its statement of operations as gain or loss on derivative.

Revenue Recognition

a) Sale of software licenses without professional services

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 985-605”).

The Company records revenues from the sale of software licenses when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been delivered, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding product acceptance by the customer, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable. Revenues included in this classification typically include sales of additional software licenses to existing customers and sales of software to the Company’s Resellers (See section h) - Reseller Agreements, below.

The Company assesses whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. The Company’s sales arrangements generally include standard payment terms. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products, and arrangements regardless of customer type, product mix or arrangement size.

If an undelivered element for the arrangement exists under the license arrangement, revenues related to the undelivered element are deferred based on Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered element. Often, multiple-element sales arrangements include arrangements where software licenses and the associated post-contract customer support (“PCS”) are sold together. The Company has established VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered PCS element based on the contracted price for renewal PCS included in the original multiple element sales arrangement, as substantiated by contractual terms and the Company’s significant PCS renewal experience, from the Company’s existing customer base.

	44

b) Sale of software licenses with professional services

In connection with the sale of software with professional services, the Company provides the customer with a solution that is customized or configured to fit the customer’s particular needs and/or our professional services are essential to the functionality of the software. In these arrangements, the software license and professional services do not qualify for separate accounting. Accordingly, we record the revenues for these sales as prescribed by ASC 985-605, in accordance with the contract accounting guidelines in ASC topic 605-35 “Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts” (“ASC 605-35”), after evaluating for separation of any non- ASC 605-35 elements in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-25, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements,” as updated.

The fair value of any undelivered elements in multiple-element arrangements in connection with the sales of software licenses with professional services are deferred based upon VSOE.

c) Sale of Software as a Service

Sale of Software as a Service consists of revenues from arrangements that provide customers the use of the Company’s software applications, as a service, typically billed on a monthly or annual basis. Advance billings of these services are not recorded to the extent that the term of the arrangement has not commenced and payment has not been received. Revenue on these services is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying arrangement.

	45

d) Sale of software maintenance services

Software maintenance services revenues consist of revenues derived from arrangements that provide PCS to the Company’s software license holders. These revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Advance billings of PCS are not recorded to the extent that the term of the PCS has not commenced and payment has not been received.

e) Sales of consulting services

Consulting services consist principally of revenues from consulting, advisory services, training and customer assistance with management and uploading of data into the Company’s applications. When these services are provided on a time and material basis, the Company records the revenue as the services are rendered, since the revenues from services rendered through any point in time during the performance period are not contingent upon the completion of any further services. Where the services are provided under a fixed priced arrangement, the Company records the revenue on a proportional performance method, since the revenues from services rendered through any point in time during the performance period are not contingent upon the completion of any further services.

f) Deferred revenues

The Company records deferred revenue primarily related to software maintenance support agreements, when the customer pays for the contract prior to the time the services are performed. Substantially all maintenance agreements have a one-year term that commences immediately following the delivery of the maintained products or on the date of the applicable renewal period.

g) Rights of return and other incentives

The Company does not generally offer rights of return or any other incentives such as concessions, product rotation, or price protection and, therefore, does not provide for or make estimates of rights of return and similar incentives. The Company, from time to time, may discount bundled software sales with PCS services. Such discounts are recorded as a component of the software sale and any revenue related to PCS is deferred over the PCS period based upon appropriate VSOE of fair value.

h) Reseller agreements

The Company executes certain sales contracts through resellers and distributors (collectively, “Resellers”). The Company recognizes revenues relating to sales through Resellers when all the recognition criteria have been met—in other words, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable. In addition, the Company assesses the credit-worthiness of each Reseller, and if the Reseller is undercapitalized or in financial difficulty, any revenues expected to emanate from such Resellers are deferred and recognized only when cash is received and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to approximately $37,698 and $67,645, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The company has outstanding stock options which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share for each period are the same.

	46

6. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

	December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Computer hardware and purchased software	$	301,908	$	281,846
Leasehold improvements		221,666		220,166
Furniture and fixtures		88,322		88,322
Total		611,896		590,334
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization		(558,670)		(532,205)
Property and equipment, net	$	53,226	$	58,129

	47

Total depreciation expense on the Company’s property and equipment for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $26,465 and $28,420, respectively.

7. Notes Payable

On March 24, 2004, the Company issued a note payable to a bank for $201,024, bearing a current interest rate of 6.25% per annum (the “Bank Loan”). Monthly principal and interest payments are $3,826 each with the final payment due on April 30, 2014. The note is secured by the personal guarantees of the Company’s founders, as well as a director. The guarantee by the director is secured by the pledge of the directors’ certificate of deposit in the amount of $200,000. In addition, the note is secured by a senior secured interest on all business assets of the Company. The obligation is subject to certain covenants, which require that the Company maintain continuity of operations and which include limitations regarding the Company’s indebtedness. In addition, the bank is a party to an intercreditor agreement involving Authority Loan No. 1 and Authority Loan No. 2 (together, the “Authority Loans”), as discussed and defined below, which provides for cross notifications between the lenders. As of December 31, 2013, the principal amount outstanding under this bank loan was $13,872.

On July 17, 2009, the Company issued a note payable to the Ohio State Development Authority in the amount of $1,012,500, bearing interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum (“Authority Loan No. 1”). Pursuant to the terms of the loan, the Company was required to pay only interest through September 30, 2010 and then monthly principal and interest payments of $23,779 each through September 1, 2015. The note is secured by a senior secured interest on all business assets financed with loan proceeds, as well as a second secured interest in all business assets. Upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall pay a loan participation fee of $101,250, which is accounted for as a loan premium, accreted monthly, utilizing the interest method, over the term of the loan. Effective December 31, 2012 Intellinetics and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule relating to Authority Loan No. 1 deferring principal and interest payments for a six month period from December 1, 2012 to May 1, 2013, with the next principal and interest payment due on June 1, 2013. Effective March 12, 2013, Intellinetics and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into another Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule relating to Authority Loan No.1, deferring principal and interest payment until December 31, 2013, with the next principal and interest payment due on January 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the principal amount outstanding under Authority Loan No. 1 was $741,788.

On June 3, 2011, the Company issued a note payable to the Ohio State Development Authority in the amount of $750,000, bearing interest at a rate of 1% per annum for the first 12 months, then interest at rate of 7% per annum for the second 12 months (“Authority Loan No. 2”). The Company was not obligated to remit payments of principal until September 1, 2013. The monthly principal and interest payments, beginning on the third anniversary of the loan origination, are $14,850 and are payable on a monthly basis through July 13, 2017. The note is secured by a senior secured interest on all business assets financed with loan proceeds, as well as a second secured interest in all business assets. Upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall pay a loan participation fee of $75,000, which is accounted for as a loan premium, accreted monthly utilizing the interest method, over the term of the loan. The interest rate of 1% during the first 12 months of this loan was considered to be below market for that period. The Company further determined that over the life of the loan, the effective interest rate was 5.6% per annum. Accordingly, during the first 12 months of the loan, the Company recorded interest expense at the 5.6% rate per annum. The difference between the interest expense accrual at 5.6% and the stated rate of 1% over the first 12 months is credited to deferred interest. The deferred interest amount that is accumulated over the first 12 months of the loan term will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred interest of $83,942 and $41,440, respectively, was reflected within long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Effective December 31, 2012, Intellinetics and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule relating to Authority Loan No. 2 deferring the interest payment for a six month period from December 1, 2012 to May 1, 2013, with the next interest payment due on June 1, 2013. Effective March 12, 2013, Intellinetics and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into another Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule, deferring principal and interest payment until December 31, 2013, with the next principal and interest payment due on January 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the principal amount outstanding under Authority Loan No. 2 was $750,000.

The Authority Loans were granted to the Company in connection with the State of Ohio’s economic development programs. The proceeds from these loans were used by the Company to support its efforts in developing software solutions for its customers.

	48

These Authority Loans are subject to certain covenants and reporting requirements. The material covenants include:

⋅

Providing quarterly financial information and management certifications;

⋅

Maintaining our principal office in the state of Ohio;

⋅

Maintaining insurance for risk of loss, public liability, and worker’s compensation;

⋅

Delivering notice in the event of default, any pending or threatened action that would materially impair the company;

⋅

Permitting the inspection of books, records, and premises;

⋅

Not selling or disposing of substantially all of our assets or equity or merging or consolidating with another entity without consent; and

Not pledging or encumbering our assets.

Additionally, Intellinetics is required to, within three years of the respective loan origination dates of each of the Authority Loans, have created and/or retained an aggregate of 25 full time jobs in the State of Ohio. Should Intellinetics not have attained these employment levels by the respective dates, then the interest rates on the Authority Loans shall increase to 10% per annum. The Authority Loans are subject of an intercreditor agreement involving the Bank Loan, which provides for cross notifications between the lenders in an event of a default. We have had past instances of non-compliance with certain of the loan covenants. We are currently in compliance with the loan covenants. There can be no assurance that we will not become non-compliant with one or more of these covenants in the future.

	49

On June 6, 2012, the Company issued a note to an individual for $50,000, bearing interest at 10.00% per annum, with a maturity date of June 1, 2013. On May 31, 2013, the Company paid in full, all principal of the $50,000 note and all interest in the amount of $1,168. The Company does not have any on-going relationship with the individual.

On August 7, 2012, the Company issued a $400,000 Promissory Note to a lender. The principal sum due to the lender was prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the lender, plus an approximate 10% Original Issue Discount (“OID”) that was prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the lender as well as any other interest or fees, such that the Company was only required to repay the amount funded. The initial proceeds received on August 8, 2012 were $100,000, and the Company did not received any further proceeds from the lender. As of December 31, 2012, the principal balance, net of discounts, totaled $107,518. Accrued interest included in accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $23,056. On January 30, 2013, the Company paid off, in full, all principal plus fees in the total amount of $154,292. The termination of the option to exercise a beneficial conversion feature resulted in a derivative gain of $15,470 on January 30, 2013. The Company does not have any on-going relationship with the lender.

On February 15, 2013, the Company converted aggregate amount of debt (principal and interest) in the amount of $489,211 issued by the Company and Intellinetics to an advisor (as identified in the table below with principal amounts of $131,500, $300,000, and $38,000), into 1,686,935 restricted shares of the Company at a price of $0.29 per share (based on the closing price of Globalwise shares on February 14, 2013, the immediately preceding business day). The advisor converted the aggregate debt of $489,211 into 1,686,935 restricted shares of Globalwise, (subject to the applicable holding period restrictions under Rule 144) in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, as promulgated by the SEC.

On November 12, 2013, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $160,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other. The Company received proceeds in the amount of $160,000. The notes provide for maturity on July 31, 2014 and provide for 10 percent interest until maturity. The note holders have a right, at their sole discretion, to convert the notes into equity under certain circumstances at $0.10 per share. If the notes are not paid off by the Company, with the consent of the investors, by the maturity date or converted in to equity at the election of the investors prior to the maturity date, the note will accrue interest in the amount of 15% from the maturity date until the note is paid in full. Under the terms of the notes, the Company agreed to seek shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares by at least 10,000,000 shares on or before July 30, 2014. The Company used the proceeds for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

The Company retained Taglich Brothers, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) as the exclusive placement agent for the Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash payment of $268,000, which represented an 8% commission of the gross proceeds and approximately $28,000 for reimbursement for reasonable out of pocket expenses, FINRA filing fees and related legal fees. In addition, the Placement Agent earned warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which represented 10% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), which have an exercise price of $0.24 per share of Common Stock, will be exercisable for a period of four years, contain customary cashless exercise and anti-dilution protection and are entitled to registration rights.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to (a) file a registration statement with the SEC no later than May 29, 2013 covering the re-sale of the Common Stock shares sold in the Offering and the Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants. The Company also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 90 days of the filing of such Registration Statement).

	54

The shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The investors are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Shares Issued and Outstanding and Shares Reserved for Exercise of Warrants

Since the issuance of the shares of Common Stock described herein, the Company has 47,362,047 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding; and 1,848,214 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

(“Alpharion”) into 1,686,935 restricted shares of the Company at a price of $0.29 per share (based on the closing price of Globalwise shares on February 14, 2013, the immediately preceding business day). This issuance of restricted stock was subject to the applicable holding period restrictions under Rule 144, and in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, as promulgated by the SEC.

On July 16, 2012, the Company issued an unsecured note payable to a shareholder, Mr. Haddix (who on December 13, 2012 became a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, and subsequently resigned from the Board on April 2, 2013 for health reasons), in the amount of $95,000, due 45 days from the date of issuance and bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum, with the principal and interest to be paid on maturity. The maturity date was subsequently extended several times to November 16, 2012, December 16, 2012, January 15, 2013, and finally February 15, 2013. On January 14, 2013, Mr. Haddix converted the promissory note and received 311,434 restricted common shares, $0.001 par value, at $0.32 per share (based on the closing price on the immediately preceding business day) (subject to the applicable holding period restrictions under Rule 144) in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, as promulgated by the SEC.

Michael Chretien with a right to purchase 3,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share within four years of the shareholders of the Company increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company, with piggyback registration rights. The warrant has a right of first refusal for A. Michael Chretien to exercise up to 3,500,000 shares prior to the Company issuing shares of common stock in any transaction. The Company issued the warrant in reliance on an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, as promulgated by the SEC. Based on the closing price of the Company shares on February 15, 2013, of $0.28 per share, the approximate value of 3,500,000 shares is equal to $980,000.

On February 28, 2013, the notes were converted into equity in the Offering disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

12. Concentrations

Revenues from the Company’s services to a limited number of customers have accounted for a substantial percentage of the Company’s total revenues. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s two largest customers, Tiburon, Inc. (“Tiburon”) and CareWorks (“CareWorks”) which are both Resellers, accounted for approximately 9% and 5%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues for that period. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the Company’ s two largest customers, FormFast, Inc. (“FormFast”) and Tiburon, Inc. (“Tiburon”), which are both Resellers, accounted for approximately 16% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues for that period.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, government contracts represented approximately 57% and 39% of the Company’s net revenues, respectively. A significant portion of the Company’s sales to Resellers’ represent ultimate sales to government agencies.

As of December 31, 2013, accounts receivable concentrations from the Company’s four largest customers were 24%, 21% and 17% and 12% of gross accounts receivable, respectively, and as of December 31, 2012, accounts receivable concentrations from the Company’s three largest customers were 34%, 20% and 12%, of gross accounts receivable, respectively. Accounts receivable balances from the Company’s two largest customers at December 31, 2013 has been partially collected.

13. Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Except for the conversion feature related to the $400,000 Note and the derivative liability which was measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company does not have any financial assets and liabilities or nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Management used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair values of financial instruments at the balance sheet dates:

•

For short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued expenses-related parties, and current notes payable the carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

•

The carrying value of long term notes payable is at book value which approximates fair value as the interest rates are at market value.

•

The December 31 2012 fair value of the conversion feature related to the $400,000 Note and the derivative liability are determined using a monte- carlo model (Level 2 Inputs) which considered the following significant inputs: the Company's stock price, risk-free interest rate and expected volatility of the Company's stock price over the expected term of the conversion option.

14. Provision For Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we have recognized the minimum amount of state income tax as required by the states that we are required to file taxes in. We are not currently subject to further federal or state tax since we have incurred losses since our inception.

As of December 31, 2013 we had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7,360,000 which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through 2033. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in our opinion, utilization is not reasonably assured.

As of December 31, 2013, the deferred tax asset related to our net operating losses was approximately $2,590,000. A 100% valuation allowance has been established on deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income.

15. Subsequent Events

Issuance of Convertible Notes

On February 4, 2014, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other. The Company received a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the notes in the amount of $240,000. The notes mature on September 30, 2014, and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 10% until maturity. Each note holder has a right, in their sole discretion, to convert the notes into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company under certain circumstances at a conversion rate of $0.08 per share. If either note has not been fully repaid by the Company by the maturity date or converted into shares at the election of the note holders prior to the maturity date, then such note will accrue interest at the annual rate of 15% from the maturity date until the date the convertible note is repaid in full. Under the terms of the convertible notes, the Company agreed to seek shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company by at least 20,000,000 shares on or before September 30, 2014. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the convertible notes for working capital and general corporate purposes.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timelines specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), as of December 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. Management based its assessment on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company, as a smaller reporting company, to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
