NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense its patented technologies.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has always been considered a developmental stage business, has incurred significant losses since its inception and has had minimal revenues from operations. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and enforcement of its patent portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which has had a material adverse effect on the Company, including requiring the Company to reduce operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. For the past year the Company has been operating at a significantly reduced capacity, with only one full time employee, performing primarily consulting services and licensing software and using consultants to perform any additional work that may be required.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market instruments, which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Due from Related Party
Due from related party is comprised of cash payments made by Worlds Inc. on behalf of Worlds Online Inc. for shared operating expenses.
(5) |
Revenue Recognition
Effective for the second quarter of 2011, the Company spun off its online businesses to Worlds Online Inc. The Company’s sources of revenue after the spin off is expected to be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents in the market. During the second quarter of 2012 the Company had no revenue. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonable assured. This will usually be in the form of a receipt of a customer’s acceptance indicating the product has been completed to their satisfaction. Deferred revenue represents cash payments received in advance to be recorded as revenue when earned. The corresponding cost associated with those contracts is also deferred as deferred costs until the revenue is ultimately recognized.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
(6) |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Notes Payable
The Company has $773,279 in short term notes outstanding at June 30, 2012. See Note 5 for a further description thereof.
Deferred Revenue
As part of a debt refinancing in 2000, $631,950 of debt was renegotiated to deferred revenue representing future services to be provided by the Company. $355,000 has been amortized into income since then. The balance was transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. and no longer appears on the Company’s balance sheet.
Call Option Agreements
The Company has entered into call option agreements with 13 of its major shareholders. The call options give the Company the right to purchase up to 4,150,000 shares of stock back at prices ranging from $0.15 per share up to $0.40 per share. The Company issued an aggregate of 680,000 shares of stock to these shareholders as an inducement to enter into these call option agreements. The call option agreements have expiration dates of 1 and 2 years. In 2011, 12 of the call options were extended for 1 year. The Company issued 315,000 additional shares as an inducement to enter into the 1 year extensions.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the consolidated financial statements.
Loss Per Share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period.
Commitments and Contingencies
During 2000 the Company was involved in a lawsuit relating to unpaid consulting services. In April, 2001 a judgment against the Company was rendered for approximately $205,000. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the Company recorded a reserve of $205,000 for this lawsuit, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the technology industries, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel.
(7) |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting standards
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of its operations.
In July 2010, the FASB amended the requirements for Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. The new disclosures as of the end of the reporting period are effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, while the disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for the first fiscal quarter of 2011. The company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding fair value measures and disclosures. The guidance requires disclosure of significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements along with the reason for the transfer. An entity must also separately report purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the level 3 fair value roll forward. The guidance further provides clarification of the level of disaggregation to be used within the fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and clarified the disclosures required for the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure level 2 or level 3 fair value measurements. This new authoritative guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 which provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test for goodwill impairment. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, “Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
(8) |
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
From mid-2001 through most of 2007, the Company had to significantly curtail and at times almost cease operations due to lack of resources. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Since its inception, the Company has had periods where it had only minimal revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional capital resources to fully implement its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company is pursuing sources of additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing will likely have a material adverse effect on the Company, including possibly requiring the Company to reduce and/or cease operations.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - PRIVATE PLACEMENTS OF EQUITY
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company raised $27,346 with the exercise of warrants covering 240,644 shares of its common stock at a price per share ranging from $0.01 to $0.15 per share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares for a cash investment of $250,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 938,198 shares of common stock as payment for services rendered with an aggregate value of $234,036.
NOTE 4 – DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue represents advance payments for the license, the design and development of the software, content and related technology for the creation of an interactive, 3D entertainment portal on the internet. As part of a debt refinancing in 2000, $631,950 of debt was renegotiated to deferred revenue representing future services to be provided by the Company. During 2010, $265,000 worth of services was provided leaving a balance of $276,950 at December 31, 2010. As part of the spin off, the deferred revenue agreement was transferred to Worlds Online Inc. as of June 30, 2012, the balance is $0.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2012, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $40,520,000 that expire in various years through the year 2024.
Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.
The Company’s deferred tax asset at June 30, 2012 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $16,000,000 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $16,000,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2012 is as follows:
Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 15,800,000 | ||
Valuation allowance | (15,800,000) | |||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | — |
The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal and state statutory income tax rate to total income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:
Income tax computed at the federal statutory rate | 34% |
Income tax computed at the state statutory rate | 5% |
Valuation allowance | (39%) |
Total deferred tax asset | 0% |
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $200,000 and $400,000, respectively.
NOTE 9 - PATENTS
Worlds Inc. currently has six patents, 6,219,045 - 7,181,690 - 7,493,558 – 7,945,856, - 8,082,501 and 8,145,998. On March 30, 2012, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Activision Bizzard Inc., Blizzard Entertainment Inc. and Activision Publishing Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Susman Godfrey LLP is lead counsel for the Company. The costs to prosecute those parties that the Company and our legal counsel believe to be infringing on said patents were capitalized under patents until a resolution is reached.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our ability to prosecute our IP portfolio or that we will be able to acquire additional patents.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes that may occur to general economic and business conditions; changes in political, social and economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate; changes to regulations that pertain to our operations; changes in technology that render our technology relatively inferior, obsolete or more expensive compared to others; delays in the delivery of broadband capacity to the homes and offices of persons who use our services; general disruptions to Internet service; and the loss of customer faith in the Internet as a means of commerce.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes which are included under Item 1.
We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect future events or circumstances.
Overview
General
Starting in mid-2001 we were not able to generate enough revenue to sustain full operations and other sources of capital were not available. As a result, we have had to significantly curtail our operations since that time and at times almost halt them all together. Since mid-2007, as more funds became available from our financings, we were able to increase operations and become more active operationally.
On May 16, 2011, we transferred, through a spin-off to our then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc., the majority of our operations and related operational assets. We retained our patent portfolio which we intend to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. We also entered into a License Agreement with Worlds Online Inc. to sublicense patented technologies.
At present, the Company’s anticipated sources of revenue after the spin off will be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents in the market.
Revenues
We generated no revenue during the quarter because we transferred the operations of the Company to Worlds Online Inc.
We classify our expenses into two broad groups:
O | cost of revenues; and |
O |
selling, general and administration |
(12) |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have had to limit our operations since mid 2001 due to a lack of liquidity. However, we were able to issue equity and convertible debt in the last few years and raise small amounts of capital from time to time that enabled us to begin upgrading our technology, develop new products and actively solicit additional business. We continue to pursue additional sources of capital though we have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing at this time and there can be no assurance that any such financing will become available. If we cannot raise additional capital, form an alliance of some nature with another entity, or start to generate sufficient revenues, we may need to once again scale back operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our net revenues for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $0 and $0, respectively. Our net revenue for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $0 and $199, respectively. The lack of revenue is due to spinning off the online business operations to Worlds Online Inc.
Three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2011
Revenue is $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Revenue is $0 because the online business operations including the VIP subscription business has been transferred to Worlds Online Inc. The business up to the spin off continued to run in a severely diminished mode due to the lack of liquidity. Post spin off we still need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to continue running the business.
Cost of revenues decreased by $4,650 to $0 in the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $4,650 in the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Selling general and administrative (S, G & A) expenses decreased by $3,795 or 3% from $112,172 to $108,377 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Common stock issued for services rendered decreased by $182,999 to $27,001 for three months June 30, 2012 compared to $210,000 for the same period in 2011. The decrease is due to certain strategic business consulting and advice agreements ending last year after the spin off.
As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of $215,904 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a loss of $387,826 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an decreased loss of $171,922.
Revenue decreased by $199 to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $199 in the prior year. The Company spun off the online businesses to Worlds Online Inc. The VIP subscriptions and revenue related to the deferred revenue agreement has been transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. Before the spin off, the business was running in a severely diminished mode due to the lack of liquidity. We still need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to continue to operate the business.
Our cost of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are primarily comprised of (1) cost of goods sold: 0% and 2%, respectively, (2) selling general and administrative expenses: 30% and 21%, respectively, (3) Common stock issued for services rendered: 45% and 64%, respectively, and (4) payroll and related taxes: 25% and 13%, respectively. Cost of sales on a consolidated basis decreased $16,959 to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $16,959 in the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to a data recovery project undertaken during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and not the result of sales and there was no activity in 2012 due to the spin off of the online business operations. Selling general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $66,888, from $225,425 to approximately $158,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Decrease is due to a decrease in professional service fees including business consulting, legal and accounting.
Common stock issued for services rendered decreased by $449,394 to $234,036 in 2012 compared to $683,430 for 2011. The decrease is due to the strategic business consulting and advice agreements in the prior year ending due to the spin off and also last year the Company issued shares to individuals who had been performing valuable services for the company over the years without any form of compensation.
As a result of the foregoing we had a net loss of $521,414 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a loss of $1,059,824 in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial and liquidity position has deteriorated somewhat from the prior year period. Our cash equivalents was $61,516 at June 30, 2012. We raised an aggregate of $250,000 in March of 2012 from a private placement of common stock.
At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents was $170,946. There were no capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2012 or in the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Historically, our primary cash requirements have been to fund the cost of operations, to keep the Company in compliance with its reporting requirements, development of our products and patent protection, with additional funds having been used in promotion and advertising and in connection with the exploration of new business lines.
We have had to severely diminish our operations due to a lack of liquidity from mid-2001 through most of 2007. We were able to find a small source of additional capital in each of 2007 - 2010. There can be no assurance that any significant financing would become available to us at this time. The additional capital that we secured in previous years enabled us to bid on new business. There can be no assurance that any such new business would be sold in the future.
On March 30, 2012, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Activision Bizzard Inc., Blizzard Entertainment Inc. and Activision Publishing Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Susman Godfrey LLP is lead counsel for the Company
Item 4. Controls And Procedures
As of June 30, 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012. The above statement notwithstanding, you are cautioned that no system is foolproof.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
