1.             NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS

 

Nature of Operations

 

WordLogic Corporation (the “Company” or “WLC”), formerly TheAmericanWest.com, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 30, 1999. The Company’s primary business is the development and commercialization of data entry software for handheld computing devices. Its headquarters is located in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

 

Reverse Merger

 

On March 11, 2003, WLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with WordLogic Corporation-private company (“WCPC”), a British Columbia, Canada corporation. On May 27, 2003, WLC issued 19,016,658 shares of its common stock in exchange for all 19,016,658 outstanding common shares of WCPC, and the two companies merged. This merger has been treated as a recapitalization of WCPC, with WLC the legal surviving entity. Since WLC had, prior to the recapitalization, minimal assets and no operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 2,907,006 shares of WCPC’s common stock for the net assets of WLC. Following the closing, WLC remained the surviving corporation with 21,923,664 common shares outstanding, of which the former shareholders of WCPC owned approximately 86.74%.

 

In connection with the closing of the Agreement, WLC changed its name to “WordLogic Corporation” (formerly TheAmericanWest.com, Inc.) and changed its OTCBB symbol under which its common stock trades on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board to “WLGC”. WLC’s directors resigned their positions and the executive officers of WCPC were appointed to fill the vacancies created by the resignations, which resulted in a change in control.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses, has used significant cash in support of its operating activities and, based upon current operating levels, requires additional capital or significant reconfiguration of its operations to sustain its operations for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2011 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $633,899 and has incurred losses of $20,759,962 since inception. These factors, among others, raise significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company’s management intends to satisfy cash requirements with working capital acquired in exchange for debt and/or common stock. There is no assurance the cash infusions will continue in the future or that the Company will achieve profitable operations.

 

The Company’s future success will be dependent upon its ability to create and provide effective and competitive software products that meet customers changing requirements; including the effective use of leading technologies to continue to enhance its current products and to influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes on a timely and cost-effective basis.

 

Development Stage

 

Following its reverse merger on May 27, 2003, the Company entered the development stage and became a development stage enterprise.
