Benefits of the Samy Platform
 
Samy extends the same optimal shopping experience of a mall or shopping center into a digital, 'Mobile Mall'.  Samy provides consumers with a single application to connect with any number of their favorite stores, view offers, receive and store coupons, receive promotions and earn rewards.  Mobile consumers collect and gather their favorite restaurants, stores, retailers, deals, loyalty programs and more right on their smartphone; resulting in a personalized shopping experience.
 
Shopping centers and malls provide consumers with an optimal shopping experience where one can go to a central location, browse for products, search for sales and buy merchandise. The traditional mall experience provides shoppers with the opportunity to view many different types of vendors all in one place, decide which stores within the mall to shop at, find sales and select specific merchandise to browse and purchase. Samy extends the same optimal shopping experience onto a mobile device, i.e. “Mobile Mall”. Samy provides consumers with a single application from which they can connect with any number of merchants, view special offers, receive general product information, make in-app or in-store purchases and earn rewards.
 
Any consumer using the free Samy application can customize their choices to meet their tastes and needs to avoid deal fatigue. The consumer can select what type of vendors they are interested in by subscribing to one or many brands. They can easily filter the types of products and services that interest them, while at the same time view everything in the network. They can browse and purchase based on special offers at the retail location, or they can elect to make an in-app purchase with Samy. All this and more is provided by the Samy application. Businesses benefit with Samy through having their own branded storefront integrated to their primary software systems to engage consumers on their mobile devices. The branded mobile storefront is managed by the Samy online cloud based software which includes various features and touch-points including offers, coupons and loyalty card interaction.

The Challenges
 
There are a number of challenges facing businesses today. First, implementation and integration with existing business systems is a big task. Second, unifying cross platform/channel marketing is not easy. Third, very few solutions offer the consumer a strong personal experience that compels you to act.  Finally, information coming out of existing products is not complete enough to make smart business decisions.

The Solution

By leveraging Samy, businesses gain access to our Samy online tools and services that allow their brands to be displayed to a targeted and local audience within the Samy network and to its own customers.

Revenue Management

Samy provides digital loyalty and marketing solutions that drives engagement between brick and mortar stores and consumers.  Samy delivers consumer engagement on a Cost-Per-Acquisition (CPA) basis with the tools to create, manage and measure mobile commerce through its proprietary mobile CRM software.

MobileBits generates revenue on a CPA basis.  Samy CPA is defined as a user (depending on what category of ad they view) who subscribes to a branded mobile store within the Samy network, then selects an ad and clicks on an offer or coupon to learn more providing the user the ability to immediately purchase the offer in-store, in-app or save for later use.
 
Legacy Pringo Connect or Samy Enterprise license revenue consists principally of revenue earned under software license agreements. License revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or is measured on a paid user basis; and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support is established by a stated renewal rate, if substantive, included in the license arrangement or rates charged in stand-alone sales of maintenance and support. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. 
 
Provided all other revenue criteria are met, the upfront, minimum, non-refundable license fees from customers are generally recognized upon delivery and on-going royalty fees are generally recognized upon reports of new licenses issued. Revenue on sales to resellers is recognized when evidence of an end user arrangement exists and recorded net of related costs to the resellers.
 
Professional services revenue consists primarily of revenue received for assisting with the functionality of the software based on the nature of our software products. Substantially all of our professional services arrangements that are billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are performed. Contracts with fixed or not-to-exceed fees are recognized on a percentage-of-completion. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for professional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. VSOE of fair value of consulting services is based upon stand-alone sales of those services. Payments received in advance of consulting services performed are deferred and recognized when the related services are performed. Work performed and expenses incurred in advance of invoicing are recorded as unbilled receivables. These amounts are billed in the subsequent month.
 
Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing software updates on a when and if available basis and technical support for software products (“post-contract customer support” or “PCS”). Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
 
The following risk factors together with other information set forth in this Form 10-K, should be carefully considered by current and future investors in our securities. An investment in our securities involves substantial risks. If any of the following risks actually occur, our financial condition and our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. In any such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all, or a part, of your investment.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business

OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAY NOT SERVE AS AN ADEQUATE BASIS TO JUDGE OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
We have a relatively limited operating history. Such limited operating history makes it difficult for investors to evaluate our business and future operating results. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or sustain profitable operations or that we will even generate significant revenues.  An investor in our securities must consider the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. The risks and difficulties we face include:
 
MobileBits products could fail or its performance may not meet our or potential mobile end user expectations. 
   
Revenues from contemplated distribution of SAMY in new markets and to achieve the broad adoption by both customers and merchants may take longer than expected or not be achieved impacting our ability to achieve meaningful revenue or meet our revenue projections.
 
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE GROWTH THAT WE EXPECT TO REALIZE WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF SAMY.
 
Though the Samy revenues in Switzerland have increased substantially since inception, we may not be able to generate revenues in the new countries or regions we intend to distribute the Samy product. We believe that our continued revenue growth will depend, among other factors, on our ability to:
 
acquire new customers and retain existing customers;
 
expand the number, variety and relevance of deals our merchants offer;
 
increase the awareness of our brand domestically and internationally;
 
provide a superior customer service experience for our customers and merchant partners;
 
respond to changes in consumer and merchant access to mobile devices; and
 
react to challenges from existing and new competitors.
 
OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER IF OUR MERCHANT PARTNERS DO NOT MEET THE NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF OUR CUSTOMERS.
 
Our business depends on our merchant partners providing promotions or offerings that appeal to consumers. Our brand and reputation may be harmed by actions taken by merchant partners that are outside our control. Customer perceived deficiencies in the offerings of one or more of our merchant partners, particularly with respect to an issue affecting the quality of the content offered or the products or services sold, may be attributed by our consumer network users to us, thus damaging our reputation, brand value and potentially affecting our results of operations. In addition, negative publicity and customer sentiment generated as a result of fraudulent or deceptive conduct by our merchant partners could damage our reputation, reduce our ability to attract new customers or retain our current customers, and diminish the value of our brand.
 
THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PRODUCTS MAY BE SLOWER THAN PROJECTED.
 
The development of our new products and services and the implementation of new versions of our current products may take longer than expected. Any delay in product availability affects the company’s revenue forecasts.
 
 
11

 
 
OUR BUSINESS IS AFFECTED BY MANY CHANGING ECONOMIC AND OTHER CONDITIONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
 
The financial success of the Company’s operations may be sensitive to adverse changes in general economic conditions, such as inflation, unemployment, and the cost of borrowing.  These changes could cause the cost of the Company’s products to rise faster than it can raise prices.  The Company has no control over any of these changes.
 
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RETAIN KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL.
 
Our management and employees can terminate their employment at any time, and the loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse impact on our business. We may be unable to locate and secure and retain talented and qualified employees to implement our plan. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary technical, sales and other personnel on a cost-effective basis, our business operations and financial performance could be adversely affected.
 
CURRENT GLOBAL ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND ABILITY TO FINANCE OUR OPERATIONS.
 
Our operations and performance will depend on worldwide economic conditions, which continue to be uncertain. This could negatively impact consumer spending. Our merchant partners could reduce their willingness to support the Samy network or terminate their relationships with us. Furthermore, during challenging economic times, our merchant partners may face issues gaining timely access to sufficient credit, which could result in their unwillingness to continue with our service or impair their ability to make timely payments to us. As a consequence, we may experience decreased revenue, be required to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts and our days receivables outstanding would be negatively impacted. If we are unable to finance our operations on acceptable terms as a result of renewed tightening in the credit markets, we may experience increased costs or we may not be able to effectively manage our business. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

The current economic uncertainty could affect our ability to continue raising capital. The Company’s ability to implement its business plan is significantly dependent upon raising new capital or financing. If we cannot find adequate capital on reasonable terms, investors will face a significant risk of losing their investments in their entirety.
 
THE SEVERE GLOBAL ECONOMIC DOWNTURN HAS RESULTED IN VERY WEAK RISK INVESTMENT ENVIROMENT WHICH COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON US.
 
The world continues to face a slowed economic environment.
 
 
12

 
 
WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON TECHNOLOGY.
 
Our business and our results of operations are highly dependent on technology. Our business faces many technology related risks, including, among others:

Infringements of our intellectual property could adversely affect our ability to compete. Our patents applications may be rejected in hold or in part in the United States or in other jurisdictions around the world.
 
We may have to defend ourselves against claims of intellectual property infringement, which could be very expensive for us and harm our business and financial condition.
 
We may be a party to lawsuits in the course of our business. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution of a particular lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.
 
OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IS UNCERTAIN.
 
We continue to incur operating losses and the costs associated with the continuing development of our products and growth expansion into new markets raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern until such time as our revenues exceed our operating costs and capital expenditures on a consistent basis. This going concern uncertainty may make it difficult for us to raise additional debt or equity financing necessary to continue our business operations.
 
Risks Associated with Our Securities
 
OUR COMMON STOCK IS QUOTED ON THE OTC MARKETS WHICH MAY HAVE AN UNFAVORABLE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE AND LIQUIDITY.
 
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets.  The OTC Markets is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ system.  The quotation of our shares on the OTC Markets may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. 
 
THERE IS LIMITED LIQUIDITY ON THE OTC MARKETS.
 
When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTC Markets, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information.  Due to lower trading volumes in shares of our Common Stock, there may be a lower likelihood of one’s orders for shares of our Common Stock being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted at the time of one’s order entry.
 
OUR COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED, SO YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR ASKING PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO SELL YOUR SHARES TO RAISE MONEY OR OTHERWISE DESIRE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.
 
Currently, our Common Stock is quoted in the OTC Markets and the trading volume we will develop may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy of not investing in OTC Markets stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Markets stocks because they are considered speculative, volatile and thinly traded. The OTC Markets is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major exchanges and our Common Stock is subject to abuses, volatility and shorting. Thus, there is currently no broadly followed and established trading market for our Common Stock. An established trading market may never develop or be maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. Absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of the shares traded there.
 
 
13

 
 
The trading volume of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be limited and sporadic. As a result of such trading activity, the quoted price for our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value. Further, if we cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of our Common Stock or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock and as a result, the market value of our Common Stock likely would decline.
 
RESALE OF OUR SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS.
 
Any of our securities that are sold are under exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws, as none of our securities have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.  Until our securities have been registered, they may not be transferred or resold except in a transaction exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  The SEC has broad discretion to determine whether any registration statement will be declared effective and may delay or deny the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by us for a variety of reasons.  In the event that the effectiveness of any registration statement relating to resale of the shares of our securities is delayed or denied, or the registration statement, once effective, becomes unavailable for use by selling security holders, the transferability of the shares of Common Stock may be restricted and the value of such securities could be materially adversely affected.
 
OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO PRICE VOLATILITY UNRELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS.
 
The market price of our Common Stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our Common Stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our Common Stock.
 
OUR COMMON STOCK ARE CLASSIFIED AS A “PENNY STOCK” AS THAT TERM IS GENERALLY DEFINED IN THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, TO MEAN EQUITY SECURITIES WITH A PRICE OF LESS THAN $5.00. OUR COMMON STOCK WILL BE SUBJECT TO RULES THAT IMPOSE SALES PRACTICE AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS ON BROKER-DEALERS WHO ENGAGE IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING A PENNY STOCK.
 
We will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our Common Stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
 
Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our Common Stock.
 
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.  In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
   
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
 
●      the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and
●      that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
IF WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS OR DETECT FRAUD.  INVESTORS COULD LOSE CONFIDENCE IN OUR FINANCIAL REPORTING AND THIS MAY DECREASE THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
 
We must maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports and detect fraud. We have been assessing our internal controls to identify areas that need improvement. Failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our Common Stock.

Plan of Operation
 
MobileBits Holdings Corporation, formerly Bellmore Corporation (“BC”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2008.  On January 25, 2010, BC changed its name to MobileBits Holdings Corporation (the “Company” or “MB). Today, MobileBits is a globally focused direct mobile marketing and loyalty software supplier. The Company offers businesses a mobile marketing and loyalty network called Samy that enables merchants, retailers or brands to connect with consumers in their local area through their mobile devices.  The solution provides businesses a complete set of cloud based tools to connect with, create and manage mobile campaigns, deals, offers, loyalty, social media, commerce and rewards to a subscribed consumer through a mobile application called Samy. To consumers, Samy provides a single “Mobile Mall” application and experience where a shopper can quickly and easily view and be alerted of special offers, purchase products or services, earn rewards, obtain local information and seamlessly integrate their loyalty cards with their mobile devices.

MobileBits began development of its product in 2009 in the area of mobile content delivery with the goal to create a platform connecting consumers and marketers around relevant information on mobile devices. On December 6, 2011, we merged with Pringo Inc., through Merger Sub, completed a merger with Pringo, Inc., pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated June 23, 2011. Pringo, Inc. based in Los Angeles California brought the Company a full development platform called Pringo Connect, in development since 2006, as well as a new product development team. Pringo's business focus was licensing software and selling professional services to enterprises looking to create a socially integrated website.
 
On September 28, 2012, the Company completed a share exchange with Aixum Tec AG, operating in Switzerland, pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, dated May 21, 2012. Aixum Tec AG, a European based organization focused on a merchant and consumer application platform called SAMY4ME which provided an easy to use software interface for both businesses and consumers connecting around loyalty card integration and offers.
 
In 2012, MobileBits completed the integration of Pringo Connect and the SAMY4ME platforms,  re-branding the name to Samy and re-focused the Company to offer businesses a mobile direct marketing network focusing on delivering a network that provides similar perceived value to today's shopping centers and malls.

Samy now provides a complete set of cloud based tools to connect with, create and manage mobile campaigns, deals, offers, loyalty and rewards to a subscribed mobile consumer. To businesses, Samy provides a single self-serve mobile marketing & loyalty platform that enables businesses to create, design and publish their offers, coupons, promotions, loyalty cards and gift cards to a mobile storefront.

For larger deployments MobileBits offers the Pringo Connect platform under the brand Samy Enterprise.
 
Summary of Acquisition Transactions
 
The Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 12, 2010 between MB, MBC and the MBC Shareholders pursuant to which MB acquired MBC, an early stage software development firm targeting its software at the mobile search market.
 
The transaction closed on March 12, 2010 and MB acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of MBC Stock from the MBC Shareholders. In exchange for MBC common stock and $275,000, MB issued 18,752,377 shares of its common stock to the MBC Shareholders, which represented approximately 87.9% of MB’s issued and outstanding common stock. Concurrently, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, Walter Kostiuk, the principal shareholder of the Company, cancelled a total of 14,000,000 shares of common stock.  Upon Closing, MBC became a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The $275,000 was recorded as merger costs as a component of general and administrative expense.  Since the Merger was between entities under common control, the Merger was accounted for similar to a pooling of interests whereby the assets and liabilities of MBC were recorded at historical cost. On March 16, 2010, concurrently with the merger, our Board of Directors authorized a 7-for-1 forward split of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, in the form of a stock dividend which was paid on the same date, to holders of record on that date.  All share and per share numbers have been adjusted to give effect to the stock split unless otherwise stated. On October 13, 2011, we amended our Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to increase the maximum number of shares of stock that we are authorized to have outstanding at any time to two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) shares of par value $0.001 common stock.
 
On December 6, 2011, we, through Merger Sub, Inc completed a merger with Pringo, Inc. pursuant to aMerger Agreement dated June 23, 2011 (the “Pringo Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Pringo, with Pringo surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of Pringo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of our common stock such that immediately after the Merger,  Pringo’s stockholders, and the holders of Pringo’s outstanding options and warrants, owned fifty percent (50%) of our then outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis (as if all of Pringo’s and Parent’s options and warrants were exercised), and our stockholders, and holders of our outstanding options and warrants, owned fifty percent (50%) of its then outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis (as if all of Pringo’s and our options and warrants were exercised).  At the closing of the Pringo Merger on December 6, 2011, Pringo’s stockholders immediately prior to the Pringo Merger were issued 29,453,544 shares of common stock of Parent.
 
Pringo is a Delaware “C” Corporation headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Established in 2006, Pringo offers software products that combine enterprise-class portals, content management systems, social collaboration features, extensive API and extension capabilities and user management tools in various open-source packages.

On September 28, 2012, the Company completed a share exchange with Aixum Tec AG, pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement, dated May 21, 2012. As a result of the Stock Exchange Aixum is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MobileBits.
 
Pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the Stock Exchange each seller (a “seller”, and collectively, the “Sellers”) sold to the Company its shares of Aixum (the “Transferred Shares”). In consideration for the Transferred Shares, the Company issued to each Seller such seller’s pro rata portion of a number of shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, equal to (A) 6,666,667 minus (B) the sum of (i) the Liability Shares (as defined in the Stock Exchange Agreement), if any, plus (ii) the Cost Shares (as defined in the Stock Exchange Agreement), if any. On the Closing Date, MobileBits issued an aggregate of 5,803,061 of its Common Stock to the Sellers.
 
On May 2, 2013, the Company and Proximus formed a Delaware limited liability company named MBPM, LLC.  Pursuant to the operating agreement entered between the parties, the Company initially has a 51% ownership interest in MBPM, and Proximus has a 49% ownership in MBPM.  In connection with the formation of MBPM, the Company contributed certain goodwill and management services to MBPM and Proximus contributed all of its assets to the joint venture. On May 2, 2013, the Company entered into Equity Exchange Agreements with the members of Proximus, pursuant to which the members of Proximus agreed to within a two year period to exchange their membership units in Proximus for shares of the Company’s common stock, valued up to $3,000,000, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Exchange Agreement.
 
On, September 30, 2013, LOPAR, LLC (“LOPAR”), Mechael Zeto (“Zeto”) and David Reppetoe (“Rippetoe”) (collectively the “Proximus Plantiffs”. Owner of Proximus Mobility) filed an action with the Superior court of Fulton County, Georgia (the “Georgia Court”, C.A. File No. 2013-CV-237131 (the “Civil Action”).
 
On December 5, 2013 and upon prior motion of the Plaintiffs, the Court in the Civil Action entered a Default Judgment against the Company: (i) directing it and its officers, agents, directors and all others acting in concert and participation with the Company to take all steps necessary to issue and effectuate the delivery of the following shares of Mobile bits stock within fourteen days from the date of entry of the Default Judgment: (a) 13,878,307 shares to LOPAR; (b) 3,064,805 shares to Zeto; and (c) 2,402,568 to Rippetoe; (ii) granting Plaintiffs jointly and severally, a monetary judgment of $44,470 in reasonable attorney's fees and expenses; and (iii) casting the costs of the Civil Action on the Company. The Company has filed motions opposing the Default Judgment in the Superior Court and has also filed a Notice of Appeal on the Default Judgment to the Georgia Court of Appeals. The Company believes the outcome of this lawsuit is still unpredictable.
 
On May 7, 2013, the Company purchased JDN Development Company Inc.’s 50 % membership interest in Value Text LLC for 250,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share of which 205,000 warrants were issued to JDN Development Company Inc. and 45,000 warrants were issued to the J Cohn Marketing Group, a Company that JDN Development Company Inc. owed money to. The remaining 50% interest in ValuText was acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Proximus.
 
During fiscal year 2013 we continued to license Samy in Switzerland and commenced operations in the Canada and the United States.  In addition, we also licensed the Samy franchise in the Ukraine, Russia and the Middle East.
 
Over the next twelve months, we intend to continue growing our business by expanding the availability and distribution of the Samy network into other markets and regions. We also plan to offer Samy under license to certain qualified re-sellers.
 
MB currently anticipates the implementation of its business plan will require additional investment capital. The Company hopes to raise up to $10 million in equity financing in 2014.  If we are successful in raising the necessary funds, we will use those funds to grow our consumer network and to acquire new customers through increased advertising, sales, and marketing product fulfillment, to fund product development providing additional product functionality, to provide working capital for strategic acquisitions and for other corporate purposes.
 
Results of Operations
 
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2012
 
Revenues
 
Our revenues from our operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 were $1,843,944 compared to $781,151 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. We started to generate revenues from enterprise licenses and services after we acquired Pringo. Our revenues from the licensing of the Samy franchise in foreign territories increased $863,369 primarily from the licensing the franchise for the Middle East territories. The increase in Samy subscription revenues was primarily due to the fact that the Company operated in Switzerland for twelve months in 2013 compared with only one month in 2012, as Aixum Tec AG was acquired on September 28, 2012. In addition, in 2013 the Company began earning subscription revenues in the United States and Canada. Pringo contract revenues decreased $176,767 due to fewer customers in fiscal year 2013 compared with fiscal year 2012.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
Our cost of revenues was $139,632 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 compared to $245,261 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, costs associated with professional service fees related to Pringo contracts were $55,025 and $233,957, respectively.  The $178,932 decrease is attributable to fewer Pringo customers requiring professional services in 2013.  The costs of hosting services for the year ended October 31, 2013 were $84,607 compared with $11,304 for the year ended October 31, 2012. The $73,303 increase is primarily attributable to the cost of hosting the expanding Samy network.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
Our total general and administration expenses were $5,377,429 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 compared to $10,974,661 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.  The decrease of $5,597,232 is primarily attributable to a decrease of $5,542,819 in non-cash stock compensation expense;  $161,000 in lower salary expenses due primarily to a reduced staff level; $141,000 decrease in professional fees; lower bad debt expense of $106,000; offset by a $216,000 increase in marketing expenses and a $105,000 increase in contracted services.
 
Goodwill Impairment

In 2013, the Company recorded a $15,564,369 impairment of goodwill related to the Pringo acquisition as a result of the Company modifying the original business plan and integrating the Pringo platform into the Samy business.  There was no goodwill impairment in 2012.

Amortization and Depreciation
 
Amortization and depreciation was $2,158,679  for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 compared to $958,167 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.  The increase is due to increased amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Pringo Merger and the Aixum share exchange, amortization of intangible assets acquired in the ValuTex and MBPM acquisitions in 2013 as well as the amortization of software and development costs capitalized during the period.
 
Lawsuit Settlement
 
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the Company realized a gain on lawsuit settlement with Birlasoft, Inc, in the amount of $88,801.
 
Unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency exchange

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Company had unrealized foreign gains of $22,319 compared with $3,059 in unrealized losses in 2012.
 
Interest Income/Expense, net
 
Net interest income was $10,517 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 compared to net interest expense of $216,595 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. In 2013, the interest income relates to the amortization of the discount on the Middle East franchise fee receivable.  In 2012, the conversion of a note payable into the Company’s common stock of $200,872 representing the value in excess of the note payable’s principal was recorded as interest expense.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of October 31, 2013, we had a negative cash balance of $11,863 (reflected in accounts payable) compared to a cash balance of $122,428 as of October 31, 2012. The decrease in cash is primarily due to losses from operations, the additional expenditures associated with the Pringo Merger, increased costs of software development and licenses, and movements in working capital.  The Company had a working capital deficit of $5,086,439 at October 31, 2013 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,205,609 at October 31, 2012. The Company has an accumulated deficit at October 31, 2013 of $37,535,025 and $1,800,310 of cash used in operations during the twelve months ended October 31, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the successful execution of management's plans, which include the expectation of raising debt or equity based capital, with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.  The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
In response to these factors, management has taken the following actions:
 
seek additional funding from private placements and/or public offerings,
 
seek additional third party debt and/or equity financing; and
 
continue the implementation of the business plan to increase operating profits, including the distribution of the Samy application in additional regions.

The use of proceeds from our unregistered common share sales that occurred for the fiscal years ending October 31, 2013 and 2012 were primarily used for salaries, product development, merger costs, consulting fees, office expenses, travel costs, offering expenses, professional fees, advertising/marketing, and working capital.
    
We are currently seeking funding for our plan of operations. We intend to seek funding up to $10,000,000 in order to continue our marketing plan, continue building our customer/merchant base and expand into new markets.  To achieve our goals, a large portion of the funds raised will be invested in advertising/ marketing our product and an increase in headcount to support our expansion plans. Our success is contingent upon having enough capital to build enough customers to support the business. We expect to raise additional funds within the next 6-8 months. A private placement is the most likely scenario for the Company to achieve success in raising additional funds for its operations.
 
Cash used in operating activities
 
Cash used in operating activities for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $1,800,310 and $2,144,599, respectively. The decrease in 2013 was due to lower operating expenses and an increase in revenues, which resulted in lower cash outflows in operations.
 
Cash used in investing activities
 
Cash used in investing activities for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $500,163 and $487,771, respectively. The increase in 2013 is due to money spent on software development and property and equipment.
 
Cash flow from financing activities
 
Cash provided by financing activities for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $2,169,933 and $1,429,511, respectively. The majority of cash provided by financing activities for both years resulted from our private placements of common stock for cash.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
MobileBits Holdings Corporation
Sarasota, Florida
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MobileBits Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform each audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stable recurring source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MobileBits Holdings Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
 
MobileBits Holdings Corporation, formerly Bellmore Corporation (“BC”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2008.  On January 25, 2010, BC changed its name to MobileBits Holdings Corporation (the “Company”, “MobileBits” or “MB”).
 
MobileBits Corporation (“MBC”) was incorporated in Florida on March 2009. The business was founded with the intention of providing a platform that connected marketers to consumers around meaningful content available on mobile devices.

The Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 12, 2010 (the “ Share Exchange Agreement”) between MBC and the shareholders of MBC (the “MBC Shareholders”) pursuant to which MB acquired MBC, an early stage software development firm targeting its software at the mobile search market.
 
The transaction closed on March 12, 2010 and MB acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of MBC (the “MBC Stock”) from the MBC Shareholders. In exchange for MBC common stock and $275,000, MB issued 18,752,377 shares of its common stock to the MBC Shareholders, which represented approximately 87.9% of MB’s issued and outstanding common stock.  Upon closing, MBC became a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  
 
Pringo Acquisition
 
On December 6, 2011, through MB Pringo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), MobileBits completed a merger with Pringo, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Pringo”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated June 23, 2011 (the “Pringo Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Pringo, with Pringo surviving the Merger as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
 
 
27

 
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of Pringo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of our common stock such that immediately after the Merger,  Pringo’s stockholders, and the holders of Pringo’s outstanding options and warrants, owned fifty percent (50%) of our then outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis (as if all of Pringo’s and Parent’s options and warrants were exercised), and our stockholders, and holders of our outstanding options and warrants, owned fifty percent (50%) of its then outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis (as if all of Pringo’s and our options and warrants were exercised).  At the closing of the Pringo Merger on December 6, 2011, Pringo’s stockholders immediately prior to the Pringo Merger were issued 29,453,544 shares of common stock of MobileBits.
 
Pringo is a Delaware “C” Corporation headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Established in 2006, Pringo offers software products that combine multi-lingual enterprise-class portals, content management systems, social collaboration features, and user management tools in open-source development packages. Pringo distinguishes itself from other products in the market in four distinct areas: Pringo products are offered in an open-architecture format; available in 23 languages; Pringo products are easily integrated and deployed by enterprises; and Pringo offers over 400 customizable features.
 
Aixum Acquisition
 
On September 28, 2012, the Company completed a share exchange with Aixum Tec AG, a Liechtenstein Company (“Aixum”), pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Stock Exchange Agreement”), dated May 21, 2012 (the “Stock Exchange”). As a result of the Stock Exchange Aixum is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MobileBits.
 
Pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the Stock Exchange each seller (a “seller”, and collectively, the “Sellers”) sold to the Company its shares of Aixum (the “Transferred Shares”). In consideration for the Transferred Shares, the Company issued to each Seller such seller’s pro rata portion of a number of shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, equal to (A) 6,666,667 minus (B) the sum of (i) the Liability Shares (as defined in the Stock Exchange Agreement), if any, plus (ii) the Cost Shares (as defined in the Stock Exchange Agreement), if any. On the Closing Date, MobileBits issued an aggregate of 5,803,061 of its Common Stock to the Sellers valued at $2,901,531.
 
Aixum owns the rights to the propriety network solution known as SAMY4ME which provides a cloud-based software platform making it simple for any business to create their own mobile advertising campaigns and publish to a targeted subscribed mobile audience delivered to smartphones. SAMY4ME distinguishes itself by providing a mobile application for consumers and a cloud based campaign manager software for merchants to send coupons and synchronize loyalty card information.

Acquisition of MBPM from Proximus Mobility, LLC
 
On May 2, 2013, the Company and Proximus Mobility, LLC (“Proximus”) formed a Delaware limited liability company named MBPM, LLC (“MBPM”).  Pursuant to the operating agreement entered between the parties, the Company initially has a 51% ownership interest in MBPM, and Proximus has a 49% ownership in MBPM.  In connection with the formation of MBPM, the Company contributed certain goodwill and management services to MBPM and Proximus contributed all of its assets to the joint venture. On May 2, 2013, the Company entered into Equity Exchange Agreements with the members of Proximus, pursuant to which the members of Proximus agreed to within a two year period to exchange their membership units in Proximus for shares of the Company’s common stock, valued up to $3,000,000, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Exchange Agreement.  See Footnote 17 for a discussion of the default judgment in connection with this transaction.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
 
 
29

 
 
Significant estimates made by the Company in 2013 and 2012 included: 1)  100% valuation allowance for deferred taxes due to the Company’s continuing and expected future losses; 2) inputs used in its option-pricing model to calculate the Company share-based compensation arrangements; 3) allowance estimated for doubtful accounts; 4) assumptions used in the valuation models to calculate the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed under acquisitions; and 5) assumptions used in the projections and discounted cash flows analysis to assess the goodwill impairment.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider short term, highly liquid investments that have an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances in two financial institutions.  The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At October 31, 2013, the Company had a negative cash balance of $11,863 which has been reclassified to accounts payable. At October 31, 2012, the Company had cash balance of $122,428 which was insured.
 
Investment in Marketable Securities
 
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Debt securities for which the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available for sale. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded as either short term or long term on the Balance Sheet, based on contractual maturity date and are stated at amortized cost. Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Debt and marketable equity securities not classified as held to maturity or as trading, are classified as available for sale, and are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in shareholders’ equity.
 
The fair value of substantially all securities is determined by quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of securities for which there are no quoted market prices is based on similar types of securities that are traded in the market.

The $222 value of the Company’s investment in marketable securities was written-off as of October 31, 2013.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debt
 
Accounts receivable are determined during the period based upon invoices and credits issued and reduced by cash collections.  Amounts not due within a one year period are recorded as account receivable non-current, net of any discount.  As of October 31, 2013, accounts receivable non-current was $287,985, net of a discount of $45,349.
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s past experience and other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating bad debts. Such factors include growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable and current economic conditions. The determination of the collectability of amounts due from customer accounts requires the Company to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on assessing the Company’s portfolio on an individual customer and on an overall basis. This process consists of a review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and the financial condition of the Company’s customers. Based on a review of these factors, the Company establishes or adjusts the allowance for specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio as a whole. At October 31, 2013 and 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $119,194 and $225,511, respectively. For the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $119,242 and $225,511, respectively.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.
 
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the year of disposal.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
 
Software Development Costs
 
Costs of software developed internally for licensing to third parties are expensed until the technological feasibility of the software product has been established. Thereafter, software development costs incurred through the general release of the software products are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the products’ respective estimated economic lives, which are typically three years. The amortization of capitalized software development costs, including any amounts accelerated for products that are not expected to generate sufficient future revenue to realize their carrying values, is included in cost of license revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
 
30

 
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of expenditures for a domain name, the value of trade name, customer relationships, and software, which was initially recorded at the fair value on the acquisition date of Aixum and Pringo. The domain name has an estimated indefinite life, is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed annually for impairment. The identifiable intangibles are amortized over their useful lives of 3 to 10 years and are reviewed annually for impairment.
 
Goodwill
 
Costs of investments in excess of the underlying fair value of net assets at the date of acquisition are recorded as goodwill and assessed annually for impairment. The carrying amount of goodwill is not amortized, but we perform an annual assessment of goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units.  If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value.
 
The Company evaluates the fair value of its single reporting unit utilizing up to three valuation methods: market capitalization, income approach and market approach. Revenue and expense forecasts used in the evaluation of goodwill were based on trends of historical performance and management’s estimate of future performance.  The Company’s annual assessment of goodwill as of October 31, 2013 concluded that the value of Pringo’s remaining goodwill balance of $15,564,369 was impaired. This charge reflects the impact of the continuing decline in the Company’s common stock price as well as an evaluation of the present value of Pringo’s future net cash flows. The Company was not required to record a goodwill impairment charge as a result of the 2012 review.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
 
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
 
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Interest and penalties associated with income taxes are included in selling, general and administrative expense.
 
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.  ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based upon its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had not recorded any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions.
 
Revenue Recognition

License revenue consists principally of revenue earned under software license agreements or reseller agreements to license the use of SAMY in foreign countries. License revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or is measured on a paid user basis; and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support is established by a stated renewal rate, if substantive, included in the license arrangement or rates charged in stand-alone sales of maintenance and support. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. 
 
 
31

 
 
Provided all other revenue criteria are met, the upfront, minimum, non-refundable license fees from customers are generally recognized upon delivery and on-going royalty fees are generally recognized upon reports of new licenses issued. Revenue on sales to resellers is recognized when evidence of an end user arrangement exists and recorded net of related costs to the resellers.
 
Professional services revenue consists primarily of revenue received for assisting with the customization and implementation of our software, on-site support, and other consulting services. Many customers who license our software also enter into separate professional services arrangements with us. We always account for professional services separately from license revenue as professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software based on the nature of our software products. Substantially all of our professional services arrangements that are billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are performed. Contracts with fixed or not-to-exceed fees are recognized on a percentage-of-completion. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for professional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. VSOE of fair value of consulting services is based upon stand-alone sales of those services. Payments received in advance of consulting services performed are deferred and recognized when the related services are performed. Work performed and expenses incurred in advance of invoicing are recorded as unbilled receivables. These amounts are billed in the subsequent month.
 
Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing software updates on a when and if available basis and technical support for software products (“post-contract customer support” or “PCS”). Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.
 
Hosting revenues are recognized in the month services are delivered.
 
Payments received in advance of services performed are deferred. Allowances for estimated future returns and discounts are provided for upon recognition of revenue.
 
Samy provides digital loyalty and marketing solutions that drives engagement between brick and mortar stores and consumers.  Samy delivers consumer engagement on a Cost-Per-Acquisition (CPA) basis with the tools to create, manage and measure mobile commerce through its proprietary mobile CRM software.

MobileBits generates revenue on a CPA basis.  Samy CPA is defined as a user (depending on what category of ad they view) who subscribes to a branded mobile store within the Samy network, then selects an ad and clicks on an offer or coupon to learn more providing the user the ability to immediately purchase the offer in-store, in-app or save for later use.
 
Cost of License, Maintenance, and Hosting Revenues
 
Cost of license revenue is primarily comprised of the license-based royalties to third parties and production and distribution costs for initial product licenses.
 
Cost of maintenance revenue is primarily comprised of the costs associated with the customer support personnel that provide maintenance, enhancement and support services to our customers.
 
Hosting fees are directly related to each client’s hosting requirements and charged by a third party service provider.
 
The amortization of capitalized software development costs for internally developed products, the amortization of acquired technology for products acquired through business combinations are considered as the periodic operating expense.
 
Sales Commissions
 
We pay commissions, including sales bonuses, to our direct sales force related to revenue transactions under sales compensation plans established annually. We defer the portion of commissions that are direct and incremental costs of the license and maintenance revenue arrangements and recognize them as selling and marketing expenses in the statements of operations over the terms of the related customer contracts in proportion to the recognition of the associated revenue. The commission payments are typically paid in full in the month or quarter following execution of the customer contracts.
 
Share-Based Payments
 
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and common shares based on the last applicable market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the share grant. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the Company reduces the expense for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. Previously recognized compensation costs may be adjusted to reflect the actual forfeiture rate for the entire award at the end of the vesting period. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.
 
 
32

 
 
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. EPS excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 24,579,475 units and 24,929,475 units of stock options outstanding, respectively.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The functional currency of Aixum is the Swiss Franc (“CHF”). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of Aixum are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“USD”). Asset and liability accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, equity account and dividend are translated using historical exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period.
 
Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholder’s equity.
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated all transactions occurring between the end of its fiscal year, October 31, 2013, through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements for subsequent event disclosure consideration.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.
 
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
 
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. The Company has a net loss of $21,363,329, a working capital deficit of $5,086,439 and net cash used in operations of $1,800,310 for the year ended October 31, 2013, and an accumulated deficit of $37,535,025 at October 31, 2013.  In addition, the Company has not completed its efforts to establish a stable recurring source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the successful execution of management's plans, which include the expectation of raising debt or equity based capital, with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.  The Company may need to issue additional equity and incur additional liabilities with related parties to sustain the Company’s existence although no commitments for funding have been made and no assurance can be made that such commitments will be available.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
In response to these factors, the management intends to take on the following actions:
 
seek additional funding from private placement and public offerings,
seek additional funding from third party debt financings; and
continue the implementation of the business plan to increase operating profit, including the distribution of the Samy application in additional regions. 
 
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
 
Acquisition of Pringo, Inc.
 
On December 6, 2011, the Company completed a merger with Pringo, Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of Pringo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock of the Company such that immediately after the Merger,  Pringo’s stockholders, and the holders of Pringo’s outstanding options and warrants, own fifty percent (50%) of the Company's then outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis (as if all of Pringo’s and the Company’s options and warrants were exercised), and the Company’s stockholders, and holders of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants, own fifty percent (50%) of its then outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis (as if all of Pringo’s and the Company’s options and warrants were exercised). These shares were valued at their grant date value of $14,726,772. At the closing of the Pringo Merger, Pringo’s stockholders immediately prior to the Pringo Merger were issued 29,453,544 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company determined that the Pringo options converted into MobileBits options as of the acquisition date should have been considered in determining the final purchase price. The fair value of these converted options at the acquisition date was approximately $4,018,000. The Company has also made adjustment to eliminate $242,000 in acquired software development costs after its initial allocation of purchase price. As a result, the originally recorded goodwill increased from $11,304,000 to $15,564,000; stock compensation expense included in general and administrative expense was reduced by approximately $4,018,000.
 
 
33

 
 
All shares of Pringo common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Pringo Merger are no longer outstanding and were automatically cancelled and retired, and each certificate previously representing any such shares now represents the right to receive a certificate representing the shares of the Company common stock into which such Pringo common stock was converted into the Pringo Merger.  All the issued and outstanding options to purchase common stock of Pringo prior to the Pringo Merger were vested and converted into options to purchase the Company’s common stock.
 
Pringo is a Delaware “C” Corporation headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Established in 2006, Pringo offers software products that combine multi-lingual enterprise-class portals, content management systems, social collaboration features, and user management tools in various open-source packages.
 
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to Pringo’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the date of the completion of the acquisition (December 6, 2011).
 
The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price:

ITEM 9A. 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer  and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer  and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013.  The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have determined and concluded that, as of October 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Management’s assessment identified several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses include lack of segregation of duties and a lack of adequate documentation of our system of internal control.
 
To address these weaknesses, management hired a full time Chief Financial Officer who is familiar with the Public Company reporting rules and has established an Audit Committee. Due to the Company’s small number of employees the lack of segregation of duties continues to exist.  The Company during fiscal year 2013 has continued the process of documenting the system of internal control.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
 
There were no changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the Board of Directors believes must be met by a nominee recommended by security holders except to find anyone willing to serve with a clean background. The Board’s  process for identifying and evaluation of nominees for director, including nominees recommended by security holders, is to find qualified persons willing to serve with a clean backgrounds.

Director Independence
 
Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
     
·
the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
·
the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
·
a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
·
the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
·
the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

We have 4 independent directors.

ITEM 14.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
 
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed by our independent auditors, GBH CPAs, PC, for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements included for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $88,700 and $102,687, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees
For the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no fees billed for assurance and related services by our auditor relating to the performance of the audit of our financial statements which are not reported under the caption “Audit Fees” above.
 
Tax Fees
We do not use our auditors for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
 
All Other Fees
None
 
The Board of Directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining GBH CPAs, PC’s independence.
 
Policy on pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services
 
Our Board of Directors unanimously approved 100% of the fees paid to the principal accountant for audit-related, tax and other fees.  Our Board of Directors pre-approves all non-audit services to be performed by the auditor.  The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit our financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was 0%.
